Fedora 12: issue running custom Env. Variable before KDE login
by Steven P. Ulrick 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hello Everyone This is an otherwise stock installation of KDE on Fedora 12. I compile and run three KDE applications from KDE's extragear SVN repository (Amarok, K3B & Krusader), and one that does not come from KDE (Bibletime). I install them in a new path each time, depending on what day that I am updating. Today I have installed Amarok, Bibletime, K3B & Krusader in "/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde" So, for example, "/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin" looks like this: /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarok /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarok_afttagger /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokcollectionscanner /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokmp3tunesharmonydaemon /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokpkg /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/bibletime /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/k3b /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/k3bsetup /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/krusader This path does definitely exist! K3B, for example, does not detect the appropriate plugins unless I set the KDEDIR to point to the directory that "bin/k3b" is located in. So, I created a file called "/home/steve/.kde/env/customenv.sh" It's entire contents look like this: export KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR "systemsettings | Advanced| Autostart" has that script set to run on "Pre- KDE startup" From a terminal, the values of $KDEDIR and $KDEDIRS are as follows: [steve@localhost ~]$ $KDEDIR bash: /usr: is a directory [steve@localhost ~]$ $KDEDIRS bash: /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:/usr: No such file or directory [steve@localhost ~]$ And, as most of you probably expect from what you read above, "which k3b" returns the following value: [steve@localhost ~]$ which k3b /usr/bin/k3b [steve@localhost ~]$ So, I am at a loss as to what to do next. Here is a link to the K3B forum: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=86700&p=152946#p152071 where I got the idea for: export KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR (I have changed what I was originally told to try to make things more simple to maintain. In fact, I used to have four separate KDEDIRS lines in customenv.sh and it worked great. For a while...) So, any help you can give me is greatly appreciated. Steven P. Ulrick

udev question for dealing with auto spindown on Seagate FreeAgent Go 1T drive
by Darlene Wallach 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

I saw this advice on how to implement a fix using udev: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DealWithAutoSpinDownOnSeagateFreeAgent udev Method Add a rule to the end of /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules # Seagate FreeAgent allow_restart fix (i/o errors) SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",DRIVERS=="sd",ATTRS{vendor}=="Seagate*",ATTRS{model}=="FreeAgent*",RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/%k/allow_restart'" I have Fedora 10 installed. Should I add a new file 10-local.rules and put it there? I currently don't have a local.rules file. $ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/ 40-multipath.rules 51-packagekit-firmware.rules 60-libmtp.rules 60-pcmcia.rules 60-wacom.rules 65-md-incremental.rules 70-persistent-cd.rules 70-persistent-net.rules 85-pcscd_ccid.rules 85-pcscd_egate.rules 90-alsa.rules 90-hal.rules 91-drm-modeset.rules 97-bluetooth-serial.rules 99-fuse.rules Thank you Darlene Wallach -- equal justice under law

Is there some website to suggest programs to be supported on Fedora?
by Leslie S Satenstein 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

. Re: Is there some website to suggest programs to be supported on Fedora? (Paul Smith) I always install yumex then I proceed to http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f12.html and do everything that is there. Important is RPMFUSION which will yield many many hundreds of programs. There are so many programs (applications) available that you can be kept busy just downloading. Only take what you need today. The programs are there for tomorrow and the days after.

question regarding mounting the Seagate FreeAgent Go 1T drive
by Darlene Wallach 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

After I partition, format and label the Seagate FreeAgent Go 1T drive and I'm ready to mount it is this what I should use: mount -t fuseblk -o rw,nosuid, nodev,allow_other,blocksize=4096 /dev/sdb1 /media/<myLabel> Should I add - uhelper=hal to the mount? mount -t fuseblk -o rw,nosuid, nodev,uhelper=hal,allow_other,blocksize=4096 /dev/sdb1 /media/<myLabel> what about adding shortname=lower to the mount? mount -t fuseblk -o rw,nosuid, nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,allow_other,blocksize=4096 /dev/sdb1 /media/<myLabel> Thank you for your attention, consideration, and feedback.

Are the scripts in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d deprecated?
by Robert Nichols 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

When dhclient is invoked from NetworkManager, it does not appear that the scripts in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d are executed. The callout to those scripts is in /sbin/dhclient-script, but NetworkManager substitutes its own /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-client.action in place of dhclient-script, and the scripts do not get invoked. How are the functions in the dhclient.d scripts supposed to be preformed now? -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

nfs writes to server nuking client
by Colin Brace 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi all, I have a small LAN server running FreeBSD and a desktop with F12 installed. Both systems have several shares available via NFS, which I mount on a laptop, also running F12. This setup as served me well for three or four years. Since a certain point last fall, beginning with F11, I have been having recurring problems writing from the laptop to the NFS shares. Although they are mounted rw, the moment I try to copy something to a remote share (either in Nautilus or in a terminal), my mounted shares die and Nautilus freezes up. I try restarting NFS, killing and restarting nautilus, to no avail; my only recourse is to reboot. The export files on my F12 desktop and Freebsd look like this: F12: /media/disk1 192.168.2.0/24(rw,sync,nohide) /media/disk2 192.168.2.0/24(rw,sync,nohide) /media/disk3 192.168.2.0/24(rw,sync,nohide) /media/disk4 192.168.2.0/24(rw,sync,nohide) /media/disk5 192.168.2.0/24(rw,sync,nohide) /media/disk6 192.168.2.0/24(rw,sync,nohide) FreeBSD: /usr -alldirs -network 192.168.2.0/24 /media/disk7 -network 192.168.2.0/24 /media/disk8 -network 192.168.2.0/24 These are the entries in fstab on the F12 client: ariel:/media/disk1 /media/disk1 nfs4 defaults,auto,users,rw 0 0 ariel:/media/disk2 /media/disk2 nfs4 defaults,auto,users,rw 0 0 ariel:/media/disk3 /media/disk3 nfs4 defaults,auto,users,rw 0 0 ariel:/media/disk4 /media/disk4 nfs4 defaults,auto,users,rw 0 0 ariel:/media/disk5 /media/disk5 nfs4 defaults,auto,users,rw 0 0 ariel:/media/disk6 /media/disk6 nfs4 defaults,auto,users,rw 0 0 venus:/media/disk8 /media/disk8 nfs rw,soft,bg,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsvers=3,tcp,intr 0 0 venus:/media/disk7 /media/disk7 nfs rw,soft,bg,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsvers=3,tcp,intr 0 0 venus:/usr/home/colin /media/venus nfs rw,soft,bg,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsvers=3,tcp,intr 0 0 There is some ugly stuff in the message log; don't know what it means: Mar 28 22:03:12 hera mountd[1516]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting.

Mar 28 22:03:46 hera kernel: "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. What I do notice is that when I run 'service nfs restart', "nfs services" is always dead and never seems to restart after this point. Looking at the init.d file, it appears exportfs is hosed in some way. I have been tinking with the export files and Googling this problem endlessly without finding a solution, and I am hoping someone here might have some ideas on what is going wrong here.

Thanks for the help. I'll try the tcp_windows_size tomorrow when I get back to the server. I hope that it's not a hardware problem. Cheers, -- Wade Hampton
