Turbo Memory
by Claude Jones
I was spec'ing a new laptop tonight, and noticed it had 1 GB of 'Turbo
Memory' -- this is a new Intel specification that uses flash memory to cache
frequently used items and is only available in Windows-land with Vista. It is
not CPU cache nor RAM.
Does anyone know of any work being done to access this new technology in
Linux?

X and Intel 965
by Jeffrey Ross
so far the installation of FC6 has gone relatively smoothly albeit some
additional learning and bumps due to the 64 bit architecture of this
machine.
The mother board is an Intel DG965RYCK which uses Intel's 965 express
chipset. Based upon what I've been able to find on the web, Intel has
released the drivers for this chipset to OSS, although there have been
issues as to what Intel actually released and how complete they might be.
Regardless I unable to run mplayer (or Realplayer) for that matter
without the display first freezing then going black followed by garbage
along the bottom of the screen. A Control-Alt-Backspace does not stop X
from running. The only way to recover the machine from this point is to
reboot the system. I am still able to connect from a remote system, its
just the display that has become unstable.
lspci -v shows the following for the graphics adapter
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Integrated

OFF-TOPIC: Fedora 7 already installed, can't install XP on empty partition
by Andre Costa
Hi,
this is somehow off-topic, but hopefully someone here has been through
this already...
I just bought a shiny new Core 2 Duo machine (Intel DG33BU mobo), with
a nice 250G SATA disk. Fedora 7 installation went surprisingly well
(and fast), only problem was that onboard NIC was not recognized, but
upgrading the kernel offline fixed this. Everything is amazingly fast
=)
BUT... I need this machine to dual-boot to Windows XP (still addicted
to some Windows-only games =( ). XP setup CD hangs just after showing
"examining hardware configuration" or something like that. It doesn't
really hangs, it just switches to a blank screen and sits there
forever (I already left it there for more than 15min to no avail).
Keyboard is responsive and HD led stays on. CTRL+ALT+DEL reboots as
expected.
I talked to IT guys at work and they told me they've been through this
already lots of times, it seems XP is unable to properly recognize the
disk when only Linux is installed on it (?!?), and only solution would
be to reformat the whole thing and install XP first.
Is that true?
My system is configured as:
~ fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 10467 83971755 8e Linux LVM
HD specs are:
~ hdparm -I /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
ATA device, with non-removable media
Model Number: SAMSUNG SP2504C
Serial Number: S09QJ1SP208120
Firmware Revision: VT100-50
GRUB is installed on MBR. All remaining space is sitting there,
waiting for XP to take over... =/
Anyone knows of a workaround? Should I try to create an additional
partition on the empty space and format it as VFAT hoping this would
make Windoze less stupid? Or am I doomed to remove all partitions and
start from scratch, starting with XP?
TIA

vstpd.conf
by dhottinger＠harrisonburg.k12.va.us
Im having a devil of a time getting vsftpd configured for auth. with
an ldap backend on Fedora Core 5. I keep getting a 530 530 Login
incorrect.
Unable to make a connection. Please try again.
The server has a username incorrect message.
Anonymous works fine. I have standard vsftpd.conf here is the snippet:
anonymous_enable=No
#
# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
local_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
write_enable=YES
#
# Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
# if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
local_umask=022
#
# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create
# new directories.
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
#
# Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
# go into a certain directory.
dirmessage_enable=YES
#
# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
xferlog_enable=YES
ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES
#
# You may fully customise the login banner string:
#ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
#
# You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
# useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
#deny_email_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
#
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
chroot_local_user=YES
#chroot_list_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#
# You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
# default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
# sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
# the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.
ls_recurse_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftp
userlist_enable=YES
#enable for standalone mode
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
User authentication is against an ldap server. That seems to be
working fine. AFP users can connect ok. I read about an issue with
the pam module, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I keep beating
this thing around and around with no joy so far.

Kernel numbers
by Jeff Stevens
What does it mean to see an rpm with a kernel of 2.6.10-1.741_FC3, when
we go to a site like http://www.kernel.org and see the latest kernel is
at 2.6.10? If one wanted to compile their own kernel from this site,
would they be losing fixes/etc. from the "-1.741_FC3" portion?
Thanks, still learning here...

I'm not sure how to do that when I can't even mount the disk.
Any suggestions on what to do next?
I've noticed that lvm archives a volume group configuration when a change is
made to it (under /etc/lvm/archive.. In plain text too!) By looking at
these I can tell exactly what commands I ran in order to muck things up...
Fri Sep 21 17:56:48 2007: 'vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2'
Fri Sep 21 18:25:40 2007: 'vgreduce VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2'
Fri Sep 21 18:25:45 2007: 'vgcreate VolGroup01 /dev/sdb2'
Mon Sep 24 18:37:52 2007: 'vgremove VolGroup01'
Tue Sep 25 13:51:10 2007: 'vgcreate VolGroup01 /dev/sdb2'
I can also tell what pv's and lv's belonged to the corresponding VolGroup in
each archive.
(btw, I've seen archived threads from what looks to be an old linux-lvm
specific mailing list. Anyone know if this still exists? I can't find it
anywhere)

tar backup on tape doesn't work
by Budiono
Hi all,
I 'm just install a scsi card BusLogic BT-958 and HP DAT 40, on my
fedora core 6 system. I usually backup my system, using tar.
My problem is backup doesn't running well.
And this is my backup script:
#tar -b 1024 -cvf /dev/st0 /usr/local/src/my_home/yahoomail | bzip2 -9 >
/var/log/Backup.log.bz2
Backup only run a while, and archive some files in directory and then stop.
[root@mis-s155 ~]# tar -b 1024 -cvf /dev/st0
/usr/local/src/my_home/yahoomail | bzip2 -9 > /var/tmp/Backup.log.bz2
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Device or resource busy
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
But when I put out -b parameter on tar. It run a while and not backup
directory at all
The backup script I used was running well when I'm using redhat 9.0 system.
I attach some message from my system

I would try the DNAT/SNAT iptables targets, along the lines of:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -d 195.198.111.x \
-j DNAT --to-destination 65.114.4.69
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -d 65.114.4.69 \
-j SNAT --to-source <your external IP address on this machine>
The second line makes the real server send it's replies through the same
path (otherwise it will reply directly to the client)
You have to enable/allow forwarding for everything to work.
