Test2: Installation aborted installing Samba packages
by mb 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Hi all, I got my installation aborted yesterday, I chose all the packages, but I got an error when Samba was being installed. The msg said that my CD 1 was damaged, and the installation was aborted. Using the same CD I chose a' Workstation' installation and it finished successfully. Today I checked the checksum of the ISO files that I downloaded and with md5sum and the checksum was the same as the one included in the site I got these files. I also mounted the CD1 and installed manually Samba, but I got some warnings: [root@197 RPMS]# rpm -ivh samba-client-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm warning: samba-client-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da 07a Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:samba-client ########################################### [100%] [root@197 RPMS]# rpm -ivh samba-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm warning: samba-3.0.0-5rc1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:samba ########################################### [100%] That was the reason the installer aborted the installation yesterday? Something strange that I found today is that the application used to install the packages (under System settings -> add/remove applications) couldn't install Samba. I got the packages lists, but without the check button to select them. Maybe it was related to the same problem. Any comment is welcome. Regards Mario

Where is the ACPI?
by Lorenzo Prince 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

I tested the first release of Severn on my laptop and had no trouble with it. The ACPI worked beautifully. But in this release, it detects the ACPI system in the machine, but it gives me a message during bootup that says acpi: interpreter disabled and ACPI doesn't work. If I type service acpid (insert anything here) I get no messages of any kid. However when I run acpid I get the error message acpid: /proc/acpi/event: no such file or directory What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks, Prince

observations from 0.94
by Ben Hsu 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

A few observations on 0.94: The "Upgrade existing installation" option tries to do a "mount -a". Is this new? It was failing because my 1394 drive was turned off. But I probably should not have "auto" for that in fstab anyway I had KDE as my default desktop. The upgrade set it back to GNOME. Might this be because I had tinkered with my gdm configuration (added non-RH GNOME and KDE to the options)? Is there anyway to disable the "beep" on the login screen?

quick (and perhaps foolish) question: MD4sum of CD
by Elton Woo 27 Sep '03

How does one check / verify the md5sum of a disk *after* the iso is burned to the CD? Elton -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/team/team_4504.html "You only live once: let's make life BETTER for each other." LINUX User #193975 [AMD ATHLON CPU] ICQ #149608718.

Re: Fedora2 up2date fails at livna.org load
by Lars G 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

sorry don't know how to fix this but i have the exact same behavior here. best, lars -- you wrote: My up2date program just stops when trying to fetch updates from the stire rpm/http://rpm.livna.org//base/pkglist.redhat/9.0/i386.bz2. The progress log shows complete and the background window moves ahead to the "Skipped Packages" window, but the progress dialog stays there with a 100% indication and up2date itself just stops. I can kill the progress menu and hit "Back" or "Cancel" to get out of this, but I can't go forward. If I disable all non-Redhat sites in the channels list before trying, everything works just fine. Ideas on how to fix this? Cheers, Chris -- ==================================== "If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' someone else's dog around." --Cowboy Wisdom

Install didn't probe my ethernet card
by sindre pedersen 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

I chose to upgrade from my redhat 9 system to fedora test2. The install didn't locate my network-card, a RL-8139/8139C/8139C+ which left me without net. My ethernet model wasn't in the list of cards when I tried to add it using redhat-config-network. I downloaded the latest stable kernel (using my other computer) and installed it. When I booted it, my networking card was in the list of cards. I then rebooted, and here followes the funny part, as I was away from my keyboard for a minute, grub loaded the kernel that came with fedora test2, kernel-2.4.22-1.2061.nptl. kudzu first asked me to remove my ethernet card, then told me to configure it. I added my card using redhat-config-network (it was in the list of cards now) and everything worked fine. My question to you all is: How come I couldn't get the ethernet card to work at first, but installing the latest stable kernel fixed it?

Re: Building a NAT router?
by Nicholas Yau 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Hey, What you need to do is write a script and run the script in rc.local for startup Let me give you some example, i think this will help you. A proper configuration will look like below : 2 Network cards. [192.168.1.1-eth0]<=connect to hub or crosslink to other pc=>PC [ ] [ ] [ ] [xx.xx.xx.xx-eth1]<=crosslink to DSL Modem=>[0000] save this script in a file, then run in rc.local this command run where the remote pc and server are in same subnet mask if different subnet mask, you need to masquerade two different network ================================================================== echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING DROP iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 MASQUERADE ===================================================================
