Connecting to a host across the internet
by Jim 05 Jul '10

FC13 Using scp HP-setup jim@70.255.149.850://home/jim , it times out, what log could tell me why it won't connect and send the HP-setup file to that location. The computer at the other end is also a FC13-x86_64 box. And the Firewall is set to allow ssh port 22 and sshd is enable an running in services. Don't get excited about the IP shown it is a fake and could connect you to a computer in Northeast Siberia .

How do I clone a drive and resize (downsize) a partition ? fdisk verify warning.
by linux guy 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

I'm moving /, /boot and swap from a conventional hard drive to an SSD. Both drives are 160 GB in size. I want to resize the /boot and swap partitions from 200 MB and 2 GB to 500 MB and 8 GB respectively. The first resize is because preupgrade now fails to run unless /boot is 500 MB or larger and the second because the swap file is supposed to be as big as the RAM in the computer and my laptop currently has 4GB and I want to upgrade to 8 GB in the future. So... I partitioned the SSD to the appropriate sizes. I then ran Clonezilla and installed the /boot data seemingly without any problem. I used the expert mode and told it to resize things to fit the new /boot partition size. Unfortunately, Clonezilla won't let me do the same for / because / on the SSD is 6 GB or so smaller than it was on the hard drive because /boot and swap are larger. So how do I move ALL the data from / on the hard drive to / on the sdd ? dd won't work because its for device files, not for partitions. If I use dd between the devices, it won't resize anything. Or should I do an outright dd and then use gparted to resize everything afterward ? Can one make cp copy EVERYTHING on one drive to another and keep the timestamps, etc, all correct ? I think I did this once a few years ago using tar, but I can't remember how and I think it took up a lot of disk space and took forever to run. BTW: if I verify the partition table for the SSD, it tells me Remaining 5165 unallocated 512-byte sectors Yet: Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0001ab7d Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 66 530113+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 67 1111 8393962+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb3 1112 19457 147364245 83 Linux Am I missing something ? Thanks !

Ideas for integrating a SIP account, N900, Magic Jack, Linux, etc...
by linux guy 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

I'm looking for some ideas on overhauling/revamping our telephone system. We are two busy working professionals. We spend half our weekends away from home. My wife still has an iPhone. I'm getting an N900. We have a landline with (terrible) voice mail service. I want to tie it all together, somehow. I'd like to get a VOIP account somewhere and connect to it with a SIP server of some sort so that I can do things with that connection. I'd like all our voicemails to be stored on that SIP server, so we don't have to erase them, etc. Actually, I'd like to get them as emails that we can listen to and organize. I'd like to be able to call into my SIP server with the N900 and maybe the iPhone and then make (cheap) calls anywhere. Can one share a Magic Jack connection as a SIP service ? How can I use Linux to do some of this stuff without resort to a full blown asterisk installation ? Thanks !

Kernel boot problems or is my hard drive failing ?
by linux guy 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

If I power down my laptop via the usual KStart->Shutdown means, it can take up to 4 restart attempts before it fully boots. It has no problem launching grub and the kernel selection screen. That it does reliably every time. After that, there are issues. Twice I will get a back screen with a flashing cursor. Then I will get an ehci -19 error. Then it will boot properly. My fscks are fine. I had a block error once, about two weeks ago, but that was with an older F12 kernel after completely crashing during a resume from suspend to RAM. Is anyone else experiencing a problem booting ? Does this sound like a kernel problem or is my hard drive failing ? Thanks $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Dec 21 06:04:56 UTC 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Kernel firmware questions
by Alex 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Hi all, I'm trying to learn more about the kernel building process and how it relates to the loading of firmware files for network controllers. I have a tigon tg3 card, and occasionally see "failure to load firmware" messages. The card eventually works, but there is a very long delay while (I think) it tries to load the firmware. Where can I find more information about this process? What is the udev package for? Does it relate to this in some way? What are the relevant kernel options that must be configured to support this? I see CONFIG_FW_LOADER, CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL, CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, and CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD. Should the kernel be able to load the proper firmware on its own, or are userspace programs other than insmod/modprobe needed? I'm using kernel 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64. The spec file shows there is a "bootwrapper" package, but it's not installed, and yum can't find it. Where can I find more information about this package? How can I generate the /etc/modules.d/ and /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/modules* files, based on the modules that are currently loaded on the system? Ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Can't start X on F12
by Steve Blackwell 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

I just upgraded from F11->F12 and after rebooting the display was scrambled and unusable. <Ctrl><Alt><F1> etc were unusable also - blank screen. I booted into single user mode and found this error: error setting MTRR (base=0xbd000000, size=0x00e00000, type=1) Inappropriate ioctl for device(25) in a couple of the logs. I googled around and found that this problem has been reported before in bug #522258 (closed for insufficient data) and bug #564543 but I have not seen any answers. I'm running kernel 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686 and I have an nVidia 8800GT graphics card. The xorg.conf shows me using a vesa driver. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve

Can't ssh?
by Bob Goodwin 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

I have a computer with an on-board video that seems to have failed? The monitor works on another computer so that would seem to indicate a component failure and now I find that I can't ssh into it from either of my two other computers. I do "ssh 192.168.1.48" and it comes up "connection refused." I know I should have checked this before but it's a detail I missed. It is still running as an NFS server and it usually comes right back up if shut down for a power failure but I am uneasy about this. Any suggestions? it is running Scientific Linux 5.3, has been reliable otherwise and I rarely ever need to look at the display but when I tried to check something this afternoon I discovered this.
