Questions with rsync
by gmspro 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Will this command do the job for backup? rsync -vpa / /home/user/backup How would I exclude these files below: /lost+found /media /mnt and others which I do not need. And what is the compression lever by rsync (using -a option)?

[ I would pretty much recommend that you specifically omit /dev and /proc too. Save the filter to a text file and make it look something like this (I like the first one but you might not). + and - symbols should be obvious. - ~* - /lost+found/ + **/home/user/backup rsync -vpa --filter='. /path/to/rsync-filter' $source $destination I didn't think '-a' option indicates compression at all, only 'archive' and you might want '-u' option for update. Craig ] So what would be the final command if I exclude these directory? /lost+found /media /mnt /dev /proc /home/user/backup /dev Thanks.

Hi all! I made preupgrade from Fedora 10 to Rawhide (Fedora 11 now) and I can't enter KDE, I just only can enter XFCE in text mode (by typing xtartxfce4). The error is the following: kstartupconfig4: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Did it happen to someone else? Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance, please see more details below. Germán.

Blocking an IP for one user
by Paul F. Johnson 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi, My son is getting to that "funny" age whereby I need to keep certain sites away from him. Is there any way that I can block an IP address or certain keywords from his user settings so that it doesn't matter which browser he uses, he can't access them? For example, I want to block the BBC websites wholesale or anything with the words Microsoft, MSN or Hotmail in the URL - you get the idea - but also an IP range such as 172.168.*.* TTFN Paul -- Sie können mich aufreizen und wirklich heiß machen!

Two monitors, modelines, xorg.conf, and all that...
by Marko Vojinovic 03 Jun '09

I have a laptop whose widescreen LVDS reports these modelines (correctly, afaik): (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x59.8 83.50 1280 1352 1480 1680 800 803 809 831 -hsync -vsync (49.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1024x768"x60.0 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync (48.4 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "800x600"x60.3 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync (37.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "640x480"x59.9 25.18 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync (31.5 kHz) I also have a widescreen VGA monitor, reporting these: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1680x1050"x59.9 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync (64.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1680x1050"x60.0 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync (65.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1400x1050"x60.0 122.00 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1052 1064 1082 +hsync +vsync (64.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x1024"x75.0 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (80.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x1024"x60.0 108.00 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (64.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1440x900"x75.0 136.75 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 903 909 942 -hsync +vsync (70.6 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1440x900"x59.9 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync (55.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x960"x60.0 108.00 1280 1376 1488 1800 960 961 964 1000 +hsync +vsync (60.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1152x864"x75.0 108.00 1152 1216 1344 1600 864 865 868 900 +hsync +vsync (67.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1024x768"x75.0 78.75 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync (60.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1024x768"x70.1 75.00 1024 1048 1184 1328 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync (56.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "1024x768"x60.0 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync (48.4 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "832x624"x74.6 57.28 832 864 928 1152 624 625 628 667 -hsync -vsync (49.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "800x600"x72.2 50.00 800 856 976 1040 600 637 643 666 +hsync +vsync (48.1 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "800x600"x75.0 49.50 800 816 896 1056 600 601 604 625 +hsync +vsync (46.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "800x600"x60.3 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync (37.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "800x600"x56.2 36.00 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 +hsync +vsync (35.2 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "640x480"x75.0 31.50 640 656 720 840 480 481 484 500 -hsync -vsync (37.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "640x480"x72.8 31.50 640 664 704 832 480 489 492 520 -hsync -vsync (37.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "640x480"x75.0 31.50 640 656 720 840 480 481 484 500 -hsync -vsync (37.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "640x480"x59.9 25.18 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync (31.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline "720x400"x70.1 28.32 720 738 846 900 400 412 414 449 -hsync +vsync (31.5 kHz) When I plug in the VGA, X chooses the highest common resolution, which happens to be 1024x768. I can only ponder as to why a 22" VGA monitor does not want to do 1280x800, but that's not the question. What I would like to have is the following setup: * when VGA is not plugged in, LVDS should be up with its native resolution (1280x800) * when VGA is plugged in, LVDS should be off, while VGA in its native resolution (1680x1050) It would be nice to have this hot-pluggable, but I don't mind restarting X or the computer for the change. Can anybody tell me how to configure xorg.conf to make this happen? My current xorg.conf is fairly simple so far: ######################## Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen "Screen0" EndSection Section "Device" Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel Corporation" BoardName "Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" EndSection ######################## The AccelMethod is set to XAA because of that famous intel random lockup thing (it doesn't eliminate the bug, just makes it more rare), everything else is autoconfigured. Thanks, :-) Marko

F11 - X forwarding display problem
by John 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi all, I recently installed F11 Preview (from live CD) on 2 of my laptops and I cannot run X apps remotely from these machines anymore. I get a message like: "(gedit:4221): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0". That means that the app is running on the remote machine (there's a PID) but I can't get the display on the local machine. The F11 machines can successfully run remote X apps from any machine that's not running F11. I've been looking for a solution for several days and I'm getting desperate

F10 stuck at grub -
by Bob Goodwin 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

I just ran the Fedora 10 Livecd [gnome] install as I have done several times from this CDROM. All seemed to go normally but it wont boot, just begins and stops with grub and a blinking cursor at which point I can't enter anything from the keyboard. And now it wont let me rerun the live cd a second time? What do I do now? Bob

preupgrade or anaconda error
by Martín Marqués 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

I was trying to upgrade to F11-preview from F10. I was told to use preupgrade instead of using yum, which passed the dependency problems that stopped yum, but after rebooting anaconda gave errors which I was unable to save. :-( Couldn't connect to my wifi (which doesn't have encryption), nor was I able to save it to disk (even though I saw the disks mounted). I would like to give information on how anaconda crashed, but how? I really want to test F11, and looks like preupgrade is a good tool to accomplish it. -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador

Fix /boot/grub/grub.conf to chainload Fedora 11 Preview?? and Fedora 9 with chainloader
by Antonio Olivares 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Dear fellow Fedoreans, I have a machine which Windows, and Fedora 9 have coexisted happily since Fedora 9 was released. I shrunk the Windows Partition a bit more and setup an empty place where I installed Fedora 11 Preview(to update it to current Fedora 11 pre or rawhide whichever gets picked up via updates) Now I can boot windows and Fedora 11, but can't boot Fedora 9, everything is in there I can see the data, I just can't boot it. Here's output of fdisk and grub.conf for both Fedora 9 and Fedora 11?? soon to be root@slax:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0005116a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 9921 79688704 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 9922 14848 39576127+ 5 Extended /dev/sda3 14849 14873 200812+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 14874 19457 36820980 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda5 9922 10409 3919828+ 82 Linux swap /dev/sda6 * 10410 10435 204799+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 10435 14848 35450879+ 8e Linux LVM root@slax:~# cat /mnt/sda3/ System.map initrd-2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.x86_64.img System.map-2.6.26.1 initrd-2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64.img System.map-2.6.26.5 initrd-2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.x86_64.img System.map-2.6.27 initrd-2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64.img System.map-2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.x86_64 initrd-2.6.27.img System.map-2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64 initrd-2.6.29.2.img System.map-2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.x86_64 lost+found/ System.map-2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64 vmlinuz System.map-2.6.29.2 vmlinuz-2.6.26.1 config-2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.x86_64 vmlinuz-2.6.26.5 config-2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64 vmlinuz-2.6.27 config-2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.x86_64 vmlinuz-2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.x86_64 config-2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64 vmlinuz-2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64 efi/ vmlinuz-2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.x86_64 grub/ vmlinuz-2.6.27.7-53.fc9.x86_64 initrd-2.6.26.1.img vmlinuz-2.6.29.2 initrd-2.6.26.5.img root@slax:~# cat /mnt/sda3/grub/grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.
