bios update
by Sebastian 31 May '11

31 May '11

Apologies if this has been discussed, I couldn't find it. I have a single boot FC14 system on a Dell precision M6500 precision notebook and wish to update the BIOS. I go to the Dell download site, and for my machine select the closest match to my operating system: RH Enterprise Linux 5. This gives me the only option to download an EXE file: "M6500A06.EXE" Is it possible to update my bios with this file given my current installation? I have windows Virtual Box under FC14, or, Do I need to delete my installation, install windows and reinstall? As I really don't want to do this, a final option to consider: could I install windows via a USB drive (so as to not destroy my current system) and then install bios? Here is the link to the driver? http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=RHEL5&catid=1… thanks for any help, Sebastian

rc.sysinit not being started
by Steve Searle 31 May '11

31 May '11

On my Fedora 15 installation I used yum to install initiscripts-legacy because I wanted an /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. However this does not appear to be run when the machine is booted up. Can anyone advise why this should be, and what I should do to get it to be run. Or what I should be doing instead of using rc.sysinit, I'm very lost with all this systemd stuff.

Wat is the reaction of selinux to the nvidia driver. Does selinux try to prevent the nvidia driver from being loaded? Alexander

Today's GNOME3 funny
by Bill Davidsen 31 May '11

31 May '11

I was looking at gnome3.org today, and their FAQ says that "The traditional GNOME 2 desktop will not disappear overnight, however: releases of GNOME 2 will continue to be supported by distributions for years to come." so clearly they don't imagine everyone will drop all their software and retrain all their users overnight. Ubuntu doesn't see to have that thought, either. I was looking for a way to run fc15 in a VM, which worked in the alpha and hasn't (for me) since. The FAQ says that's the case, no VM has a powerful enough video emulation to handle the worthless eye candy. The Virtualbox people say much the same, but their spin is that the video could do the job but GNOME insisted on using some direct to hardware stuff they don't off. I freely admit I didn't spend a lot of time deciding anything other than both of them imply the fault is with the other. My fc13 machines are moving to RHEL6.0 or a similar distribution, I'll be able to keep them secure for a while and see which way the wind blows. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

OT: setting up a cluster - what is best practice
by Jamie Bohr 31 May '11

31 May '11

Sorry this is off topic. I have been looking at setting up a compute cluster using blade servers with a 10G connection to some high-end storage. I've been reading documents on http://www.linux-ha.org but would like advice from people that have already done this. What are the advantages of using MOSIX, openMosix, Kerrighed or OpenSSI for kernel based clustering? What are the complications of implementing such a system? -- Jamie Bohr

Selinux blocking denyhosts
by Kevin H. Hobbs 31 May '11

31 May '11

I tried to install and enable denyhosts on a fresh Fedora 15 install. I did systemctl enable denyhosts.service. systemctl ran chkconfig. When I started the service I got this in /var/log/messages: May 29 07:49:33 murron setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from read access on the lnk_file /var/lock. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l fc8b6153-e359-409b-9310-9f0f3b3a20c7 sealert says: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from read access on the lnk_file /var/lock. ***** Plugin restorecon (94.8 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /var/lock default label should be var_lock_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lock ***** Plugin catchall_labels (5.21 confidence) suggests ******************** If you want to allow python to have read access on the lock lnk_file Then you need to change the label on /var/lock Do # semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/lock' where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: var_run_t, var_lock_t, bin_t, cert_t, usr_t, device_t, devlog_t, locale_t, abrt_t, etc_t, lib_t, proc_t, root_t, device_t, ld_so_t, proc_t, denyhosts_t, textrel_shlib_t, rpm_script_tmp_t, var_run_t. Then execute: restorecon -v '/var/lock' ***** Plugin catchall (1.44 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python should be allowed read access on the lock lnk_file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep denyhosts.py /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
