Boot problems with fc17
by Alex 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

Hi, I installed fc17 x86_64 on a 1TB disk and it boots fine. I have an old fc15 2TB disk that I'd like to add to the system without making any changes to the disk itself. The problem is that when I boot the system with the fc15 disk installed, it boots the fc15 system using the fc17 kernel. I've tried to switch the boot order in the BIOS, and despite it saying the 1TB fc17 disk is first, it uses grub and initrd from the fc17 disk but mounts the fc15 disk as root and starts to boot from it. How can I either change the grub config on the fc17 disk to properly boot the fc17 system, or otherwise configure my system to support this fc15 disk without having it be accessed during boot? Thanks, Alex

Unfortunately, neither of those being platform-independent, it's somewhat unlikely that this will be supported under Java...

Re: att-uverse new, can't access internet [SOLVED]

Followed Rob explicitly, now f16 box using uverse, on internet! ifcfg-eth0: # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:e0:18:d2:d1:95 BROADCAST=255.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp TYPE=Ethernet NM_CONTROLLED=yes USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes Many, many thanks to Rob. A lost week but I learned something. Now if I can just get ATT to give me a description of those 3 pieces of electronic gear under my desk. I am also very encouraged by Rob's remark, something like: "linux and uverse are just fine" Jack

Rob, thanks for your response; You are making me a believer in DHCP. Will try your suggestion later today. Nitpicks: >> And I much prefer static IP for f16. >> the network 192.168.2.0 is also >> used in configs of [previously used] >> :linksys router >> :netgear wless access point, >> >You should really lose your obsession with static configuration because >it leads to exactly the problem you are having.... ... >As to why it worked before probably has to do with why you had two >routers in your house - linksys and netgear - each managing their own >network - or worse fighting with each other. the netgear is a wireless access point, used only for wireless connection of a laptop. When the laptop was ethernet connected to the linksys router, the netgear access point was not doing anything, so the idea they were fighting each other I think is not the case. Regardless, the laptop and netgear had not been used for last 2-3 years, so I don't need to fuss with them right now. Are you implying that if I do get uverse working, that I won't need the netgear access point at all?, i.e., that the uverse modem will handle laptop when wanting to use it wireless? Re your parents' uverse: are they running linux? Are you running linux under uverse? Do you know of specific cases where uverse and linux work successfully? The att phone reps are very pessimistic, going so far as saying: "it may be that uverse and linux are simply incompatible." Thanks again, I will get back to the list later today I hope. Jack

Be sure to include >close-ups of any labels on the devices. --- time stamp of /etc/resolv.conf on f16 is oct4... consistent with last boot of f16 I am not proficient with cameras of any type. Also leery of too much pushing around that jumble of equipment. Will get down there again and see if can get better description. Might be able to get att on phone to tell me what was put in, but our experience on the phone is not good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Locke responded: >You have hit the nail on the head.

Still confused on this point: the mixed system with 192.168.2.8 static on f16 and 192.168.1.0 network, dhcp, currently 192.168.1.71 on imac was working fine on the old adsl pacbell modem. So why can't this new uverse also deal with that mix? And I much prefer static IP for f16. the network 192.168.2.0 is also used in configs of [previously used] :linksys router :netgear wless access point, both of which I would need to be working if we have to give up uverse and go back to old adsl pacbell modem, hopefully without reconfiguration of the linksys, netgear. (I forget completely just how to do that, web-based I think) Instead of changing my f16 to dhcp, would it be sufficient on f16 to keep my static config but convert to 192.168.1.0 network? [or even change the imac to 192.168.2.0? probably don't want to mess with the imac since it has working internet with uverse] Also we know those DNS1, DNS2 are valid so I would prefer to keep those lines if possible. not sure about DOMAIN=pacbell.net Am I not free to pick almost any name for DOMAIN? FWIW, here is result of 'ifconfig -a' from the imac: bash-3.2$ ifconfig -a lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:26:bb:58:4c:e2 inet6 fe80::226:bbff:fe58:4ce2%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 192.168.1.71 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active fw0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,SMART,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 4078 lladdr 00:26:bb:ff:fe:58:4c:e2 media: autoselect <full-duplex> status: inactive en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether d4:9a:20:56:8a:2d media: autoselect (<unknown type>) status: inactive bash-3.2$ ~~ thanks much for your response, just maybe it can get the uverse going?

He's running JBoss... Java apps won't drop privs. Non-root can't bind to 80, so he gets JBoss to bind to 8080 then redirects.

Re: Remote Amarok music collection?

It would be enough (for me) to have an URL in the collection database. The remaining data (ID3tag etc.) can be pulled in on the first playback or similar. I am not actually sure what kind of indexing is being performed at all (with local files). Isn't the "collection" just a list of all music files with their paths (and tags and stuff), written in some database? In this respect, I still don't see how a file obtained from http is any different from a file obtained from a local hard disk. Note, though, that I have remained fairly ignorant about this whole media player technology since the time of WinAMP and XMMS (cca 1995), so I am not exactly well informed about how and why the design of Amarok is the way it is. Best, :-) Marko
