Help requested: Dosemu/Dosbox
by Sanjay Arora 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hello all I have an old xbase/clipper program that I need to run on Linux. Tried it some time ago on Dosemu on CentOS. Need to run it on Fedora now as the new hardware does not load CentOS. Found that Dosemu is missing from Fedora 15 and Dosbox is there instead. However, it clearly states that printing is not a priority for it and I need to print out to a Dot-Matrix printer. Can someone advise why Dosemu has been dropped? And strangely I cannot find any repo that I can enable while maintaining fedora with protectbase yum plugin....google searches yield rpm search engines with downloadable rpms but I can't seem to get to a repo. Can someone please advise? Graphics & sound are not an issue for me and the use case is accounting. With best regards. Sanjay.

OT: How to find amount of free memory from within a C program
by Ranjan Maitra 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Dear friends, This is a general question with the exception that I use Fedora exclusively:-) Besides, this -- along with R-help -- are the two most knowledgeable and helpful mailing lists I know of. In any case, is there a ready way (function or such) to find out how much memory is available to me from inside a C program? I would like this to be as generic as possible. I tried getrusage() but I could not figure out if there was a field for free/available memory in the rusage struct. In fact, there does not seem to be. Any other suggestions? Many thanks again for this OT help, and best wishes, Ranjan

Quick and dirty partition table repair?
by Tom Horsley 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

I've been rearranging a disk with gparted and it left me with this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb4 2048 976773119 488385536 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 4096 51204095 25600000 83 Linux /dev/sdb6 51206144 976771071 462782464 83 Linux If I try to mount the partitions at boot time, something gets very confused by the extended partition being /dev/sdb4 instead of /dev/sdb1. Is there a quick way I can move the 4th primary partition entry to the 1st primary partition entry? Or is a hex edit and extreme care my only hope? Or maybe it would all be simpler if I just DDed the one partition I'm trying to keep to a file, reinitialize the disk from scratch, and then DD it back (making sure to make the partition the identical size).

GRUB missing Windows boot option (was Re: Issues with Fedora 15 install)
by Pedro Francisco 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Should just be to add at the "bottom" of /boot/grub/menu.lst (below to similar ones) title Windows XP rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader +1 No need to do anything else. Reference http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=145424 (the "grub", "setup" and "grub-install" parts do not apply to your case since GRUB is already installed). In my F15 with Win7 32 bits the option was added correctly by the Fedora 15 installer.

Issues with Fedora 15 install
by Sanjay Arora 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hello all I installed Fedora 15 on a system with Intel Core i7-2600 processor, Intel DH67BL motherboard and 1 TB Hitachi HDD. The system had a prior Windows 7 install. However, the Fedora 64 bit install detected it simply as "other" and did not setup a Dual boot using a grub menu, as I found with installations of Fedora 11 & WinXP. Now my WinXP booting is lost! How do I enable dual boot? Request pointers to a step-by-step instructions. Secondly, is this a bug? Has it been removed in later updates? Second, I am using a TP link WiFi router with builtin four port 10/100 switch. This system is plugged directly into that. The onboard NIC is Intel PRO gigabit port. In Windows 7 the Network connection is 100 Mbit one, but in Fedora 15 the Network Connection is 10 Mbit....all hardware is same. What to do? I am looking to install & test a legacy xbase compiler call Harbour. Its available on ATrpms repo as a binary, otherwise one has to compile it from the source. Does integrating ATrpms repo with Fedora entail any functional issues relating any sort of clash with Fedora repos at a later date? Should I install harbour & maintain it everytime from source...which is a trouble, though doable...or would adding ATrpms be ok? I have never used it, so looking for feedback for its use by novice users. Am presently updating the Fedora 15 install through a 256 kbps broadband, so expect it will complete by late tonight. Please do give your comments on all issues. With best regards. Sanjay.

Intel graphics bug?
by Tom Horsley 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Does anyone have neverputt installed on an nvidia or ATI graphics system? Do you also see the weird cross running through the ball that shows up in this sample screenshot? http://localhost/comcast/hardware/zooty/images/neverputt-cross.png I don't know if this is some strange new feature added to the game while I was building my new system, or shows a bug in the intel graphics drivers :-). The point where the beams cross very consistently follows the ball around all the time. This is on fedora 15 64 bit. neverball-1.5.4-4.fc15.x86_64 is the version of the game I have installed.

SVN over HTTP and mod_security
by Philip Prindeville 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

I had configured and installed subversion (SVN) to run over HTTP as the transport, but when I tried to use it I got: [Mon Sep 05 11:23:29 2011] [error] [client ::1] ModSecurity: Warning. Operator LT matched 20 at TX:inbound_anomaly_score. [file "/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/base_rules/modsecurity_crs_60_correlation.conf"] [line "31"] [msg "Inbound Anomaly Score (Total Inbound Score: 15, SQLi=, XSS=): Method is not allowed by policy"] [hostname "localhost"] [uri "/svn/astlinux/trunk/package/linux-atm"] [unique_id "TmUFkcCoAQoAABnnJF8AAAAD"] [Mon Sep 05 11:23:29 2011] [error] [client ::1] ModSecurity: Warning.

I'm looking at the supposed offending rule: SecRule TX:INBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE "@gt 0" \ "chain,phase:5,t:none,log,noauditlog,pass,msg:'Inbound Anomaly Score (Total Inbound Score: %{TX.INBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE}, SQLi=%{TX.SQLI_SCORE}, XSS=%{TX.XSS_SCORE}): %{tx.inbound_tx_msg}'" SecRule TX:INBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE "@lt %{tx.inbound_anomaly_score_level}" "skipAfter:END_CORRELATION" and thinking "Wha.....t?" If the .conf files out-of-the-box can't support SVN by default, how about at least having a post-install script that modifies the rules to accommodate SVN? Or what about SVN installing its own rules if it detects mod_security is installed and enabled? But less abstractly: does anyone know what's required to make SVN-over-HTTP work with mod_security? Thanks, -Philip
