Yum: a suggestion
by Timothy Murphy 02 Sep '13

Yum only tells me the sites it has _failed_ to download from. Wouldn't it be nice if it also told us which sites _succeed_? I'd like to know who to be grateful to. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Trouble setting up kickstart
by Michael Larsen 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

I'm trying to set up a kickstart server on my home network. I can't get network booting working. DHCPD and tftp are working, but the tftp request on the client is timing out with: PXE-E32 TFTP open timeout I've googled the heck out of this issue and can't find a fix. I was hoping someone here could help me out. My dhcpd.conf file: # # DHCP Server Configuration file. # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.example # see dhcpd.conf(5) man page # option space pxelinux; option pxelinux.magic code 208 = string; option pxelinux.configfile code 209 = text; option pxelinux.pathprefix code 210 = text; option pxelinux.reboottime code 211 = unsigned integer 32; allow booting; allow bootp; class "pxeclients" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"; next-server 192.168.10.90; filename "pxelinux.0"; } subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option domain-name "larsenhaus.org"; option domain-search "larsenhaus.org"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.60,192.168.10.90; option routers 192.168.10.10; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.10.100 192.168.10.200; default-lease-time 3600; max-lease-time 4800; } My xinetd tftp file: # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol.

During my research I saw a post somewhere that talked about tftp having issues with some RealTek network cards. The kickstart server is running a controller with the RTL8101E/RTL8102E chipset. The poster said he fixed his problem by setting the tftp block size explicitly to 512, but I've been unable to determine how to do so. Are there any obvious errors in my configuration? If not, can anyone advise how to set the tftp block size? Thanks in advance. James

grep by paragraph
by Timothy Murphy 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Is there an option for grep, or some similar program, that will print out a whole paragraph - defined as the section between two blank lines - containing a given word or phrase? Such as the above 4 lines. If not, can anyone suggest a simple script that will do this? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

issue with large inodes numbers in at least gnucash and pan (32-bit versions).
by Roger Heflin 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

I have recently created a new 6tb XFS filesystem. After this gnucash, pan and a number of other utilities (on one of the 32-bit machines) start failing to work and complaining about value too large for defined data type. I have found someone else that indicated this ment that the tools needed to be complied with this flag: -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 This samba alleged bug was from the same issue. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7707 Currently these are the only 2 applications I have so far found...this is on a fedora 19 NFS mounted 32-bit machine. I suspect that I may find a few more applications that have the same issue, I have a workaround of using the application on a full 64-bit machine that does not appear to have this issue (I am assuming that full 64bit uses 64bit for file offset by default), but whoever is running the compile streams for the 32-bit rpms may need to start setting this flag. Most of the default tools (cp, mv and others) appear to be working right, it is just a few things that are acting up.

31 Aug '13

Hello, I am not sure that it is the right list to post this, but please let me know. Under openoffice (fedora 19). when I try to create an equation (by using ooolatex [4.1.1.2]), I get an error: BASIC runtime error. Property or method not found: getDocumentInfo. In the macro (OOolatexTools): ' Function to manipulate information from "Doc Properties". ' There is two actions : ' "Get" : return the preamble or the configuration as string ' "Delete" : return the "doc info" without preamble or configuration Function DocInfo( sAction as String, sWhat as String) as String DocInfo = "" Is DocInfo not set properly? Thank for your help. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.

Yes, I disabled SELinux and the firewall for testing during setup: [root@kickstart ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected. # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted [root@kickstart ~]# systemctl status iptables.service iptables.service - IPv4 firewall with iptables Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Aug 27 19:21:50 kickstart.larsenhaus.org systemd[1]: Stopped IPv4 firewall with iptables.

I figured out how to set the block size to 512 but it didn't help. Any other ideas would be appreciated. :-)

Fwd: efibootmgr cannot save boot options
by 某因幡 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hi, I just installed Fedora 19 on a SONY PRO 13(SVP13219SC). Secure boot is off. But it won't boot into Fedora, only boots into Win8. So I boot Fedora Live from USB and tries to setup mannually. # efibootmgr .... <-- cannot find entry of Fedora # mount /dev/sd3 /boot/efi # ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/fedora ... <-- looks good, there are necessary files # efibootmgr -c -l 'fedora' -p 3 -i '\EFI\fedora\shim.efi' # efibootmgr -v ... <-- looks good Then reboot, but it still goes to Win8. This situation loops. -- language: Chinese, Japanese, English -- language: Chinese, Japanese, English
