/etc/passwd and shadow was blank
by Rod James Bio 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hello new fedora user here, long time Linux(debian/ubuntu & centos) user though. I experienced a problem with one of our server with Fedora 9(I know its old but the developer insisted this version). 3 days ago the dev team was suddenly disconnected when they were uploading files. I was called to assess the problem. ssh was returning "connection refused" even thoug there was no firewall on that server according to the devs. When I was not able to login too I rebooted the server in hope that I only forgotten my own password. On reboot I dropped to single user mode and noticed that the "/" partition was full so I cleared unwanted files and another thing is I noticed that both the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file was blank. Good thing there was a copy on /etc called "passwd--" and "shadow--", I cp'ed those files and rebooted and Voila everything was fixed. Now my question is what was the cause why those files had gone blank? I never experience this kind of problem before in ubuntu and centos so I was thinking it was a distro-specific problem. I already search google but the same question had gone unanswered by the community. regards -- *Rod James U.

native texlive and yum
by Walter Cazzola 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Dear Fedora Experts, bored of the several problems of the texlive 2010 distribution for fedora (see my previous message about the missed hyphenation and the 1-month old broken dependency on the latex binary) I have decides to remove it and reinstall it through tlmgr. That has been a great idea except for a couple of issues on some *nonrelated" packages. To remove texlive yum forced the remotion of a2ps and R-core (and few other but these are the most important for me) and I can't reinstall them without reinstalling texlive (at least in part). Now I've already installed texlive but not through yum and I'm wondering why the rpm for these packages not really related to LaTeX and in any case working also without LaTeX can't check for the bins instead of the whole package. Is there a way for forcing their installation without installing texlive? Thanks all for the help Walter -- Walter Cazzola, PhD - Associate Professor, DICo, University of Milano E-mail: cazzola(a)dico.unimi.it Ph.: +39 02 503 16300 Fax: +39 02 503 16253 · · · ---------------------------- · · · ---------------------------- · · · ... recursive: adjective, see recursive ... · · · ---------------------------- · · · ---------------------------- · · ·

Strangely, just after I sent my original mail, System Monitor suddenly decided, all on its own, to add the 2GB swap partition....??????? I think I must have a Gremlin somewhere! Anyway, things appear to be (back to) "normal"! Thanks again Dave

Strange problem booting a current release mainline kernel under F14
by JD 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hi All, I have uograded to F14 and all was well. Because I was tracking a bug I had reported to bugzilla.kernel.org, I was advised to see if I could replicate it in 2.6.38.2. Well, I built that kernel and booted and was not able to replicate the bug, so I assumed it was fixed in in 2.6.38.2. So, I rebooted back into FC14's latest 2.6.35.11-83. During bootup, (things scroll up the screen fast (as usual), but then the screen is turned off and soon, all disk activity stops, but power on computer remains on. No response to keyboard or mouse. All I can do is Ctrl-Alt-Delete. and then power down. Any suggestions how I can debug this problem so I can get to the bottom of it?

Hi, I want to see and/or monitor cpu utilization. I have a server that have 24 processors (6 processor x 4 core). top only gives me global information for cpu, not per cpu (and core) Is there a tool or a way to have these informations ? BR Luc RHCE
