is it always safe to select "Virtualization" packages at install time?
by Robert P. J. Day 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

in the context of both f10 and the imminent f11, is it always safe to select that you want to install the "Virtualization" group, regardless of the system on which you're installing? as in, will that make a difference in the kernel installed and could that blow up in one's face? i ask since, a while back and at least a couple versions of fedora ago, i selected virtualization without recognizing that i was installing on an older laptop that was only 32-bit and had no PAE support. as i recall, that selection forced the install of a virt-enabled kernel that, after install and reboot, came up, almost immediately realized it was trying to run on inadequate hardware (not even PAE), and choked. so, what exactly is involved in adding Virtualization to the install? does it change which kernel is installed? does it affect only loadable modules so that won't be an issue? am i making any sense? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Misleading information
by Joshua C. 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Look at this article: http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12958&Ite… It describes what happened in 2008 but it's not clear from the title. I know that journalist can write whatever they want but this is misleading information which is not up to date. The title should be " *** got hacked in 2008". Maybe someone from the "higher ranks" should officially demand better clarification in this writing.

gpg checking downloads
by Tom Horsley 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

The torrents for the Fedora downloads include gpg signed checksum files (SHA1SUM for old releases, *-CHECKSUM for fedora 11 beta and wot-not). It would sure be handy to have instructions directly on the download pages that tell you how to actually verify the signature and check the checksums :-). Is this a good place to complain about that, or is another list or bugzilla component better?

Problem configuring ldapphpadmin & fedora directory server
by Guillaume 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hi, I setup a new Fedora Directory Server (v1.1.3-6) on fedora 10. And then, I install ldapphpadmin (v1.1.0.5-2) to create new entry/populate the database. But here is the problem. Each time i try to connect to ldapphpadmin, I can't ! Because the username/password does not exist. Except if i bind anonymously. And then I can see default entries, except the "cn=Directory manager" user specified at the init of the directory srver. I think this issue is related to the netscape root used by FDS (but im not sure). Maybe i have to change the base DN used by PLA to match it to the "core" netscapeDN. Below are the config files used on this installation. Maybe someonce have an idea about this issue and my own config. ####/etc/phpldapadmin/config.php##### $config->custom->session['blowfish'] = '8276d3d6bbb59656fc600b8d7f324788'; # Autogenerated for auth.local $i=0; $ldapservers = new LDAPServers; $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','name','[auth.local]'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','host','127.0.0.1'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','port','389'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','base',array('dc=local')); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','auth_type','session'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','sasl_mech','CRAM-MD5'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'appearance','password_hash','md5'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','attr','uid'); ##### Thanks for your help. -- Guillaume

Umount nfs strangely slow
by Jonathan Ryshpan 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

I am mounting a few filesystems from one F10 machine to another. Mount works rapidly but umount of each of the filesystems takes about 20 seconds. Is this normal? Could I have the systems misconfigured in any obvious way? Both machines have x86_64 processors. Here is the file /etc/exports on the server machine: / amito(ro,sync,no_root_squash) and here is the corresponding mount command on the client machine: # mount -t nfs claremont:/ /mnt/claremont Here is a typical umount command on the client machine: # time umount /mnt/claremont/ real 0m21.029s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.004s Any ideas? Thanks - jon

RM to mp3 script
by Paul Ward 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hello, Ok forsome reason this script will not convert the rm stream to an mp3 if it runs in the cron. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this. The script is as follows: ------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash DATE=`date +%A` SHOWNAME=$1 TSPLIT=$4 ALBUM=$2 DIR="/usr/local/bin/bbc_radio1" RECORDINGPATH=${DIR}/ WEBDIR=/var/www/bbc/ DURATION=$3 DURATION=`expr $DURATION \* 60` ATTIME=`expr $3 + 5` BITRATE="64" HISTORY=${WEBDIR}/history.log _record() { echo "--------------------------" >> $HISTORY echo "Start REC:" `date` >> $HISTORY echo " Recording" $SHOWNAME >> $HISTORY echo " Length:" `expr $DURATION / 60 ` "minutes" >> $HISTORY cd ${RECORDINGPATH} mplayer -dumpstream "-playlist" http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/realaudio/media/r1live.ram -dumpfile ${RECORDINGPATH}${SHOWNAME}.dump -vc dummy -vo null & MPLAYPROCESS=$! echo $MPLAYPROCESS > /tmp/radio1.pid echo " PID:" $MPLAYPROCESS >> $HISTORY Kill process when show finished. at now + $ATTIME minutes <<EOF kill -9 $MPLAYPROCESS EOF sleep $DURATION && echo "sleep finsihed" >> $HISTORY kill -9 $MPLAYPROCESS && echo "PID Killed" >> $HISTORY echo "Stop REC:" `date` >> $HISTORY ls -lh ${RECORDINGPATH}${SHOWNAME}.dump | awk ' { print "Showname: " $8 " Size: "$5 } ' >> $HISTORY } _convert() { # convert stream to mp3 format echo "Converting Stream to MP3" `date` >> $HISTORY # ffmpeg -i "$RECORDINGPATH$SHOWNAME".dump -f wav - | lame - -b $BITRATE $WEBDIR/${DATE}_"$SHOWNAME".mp3 #mencoder "$RECORDINGPATH$SHOWNAME".dump -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -of rawaudio -lameopts cbr:br=40 -o $WEBDIR/${DATE}_"$SHOWNAME".mp3 ffmpeg -i "$RECORDINGPATH$SHOWNAME".dump -ab $BITRATE $WEBDIR/${DATE}_"$SHOWNAME".mp3 > /tmp/convert.dbg && echo "Conversion done" >> $HISTORY ls -lh $WEBDIR | grep ${DATE}_"$SHOWNAME".mp3 | awk ' { print "Showname: " $8 " Size: "$5 } '>> $HISTORY echo "--------------------------" >> $HISTORY } _id3tag() { mp3info -d ${WEBDIR}/${DATE}/*.mp3 mp3info -a $ALBUM -l $SHOWNAME -t $SHOWNAME ${WEBDIR}/${DATE}/*.mp3 echo "ID3tag set" } _splitmp3() { echo ${TSPLIT} mp3splt -f -t "${TSPLIT}".0 -a ${WEBDIR}${DATE}_"${SHOWNAME}".mp3 >> $HISTORY } _cleanup() { #Cleanup Files mkdir -p $WEBDIR rm -v "$RECORDINGPATH$SHOWNAME".dump } _record _convert #_splitmp3 #_id3tag #_cleanup -------------------------------------------- I dont want to convert to a wav then mp3 as the files sizes will be huge for the wav.

It only converts for a small time before stopping. Thanks -- email: pnward(a)googlemail.com website: http://www.pward.co.uk MSN: pob2000is(a)hotmail.com Skype: paul.n.ward

Accessing vfat filesystem via nfs locks up server & client
by Jonathan Ryshpan 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

I am exporting a vfat filesystem from a machine "server" to another machine "client" using nfs. The filesystem appears to mount OK on client, but any attempt to actually access it on the client -- say by running [client $] ls vfat-filesystem locks up the ls process on the client and also locks up access to vfat-filesystem on the server -- say by running [server $] ls vfat-filesystem now locks up the ls process on the server. Before running ls on the client access to vfat-filesystem on the server was possible. I was under the impression that vfat filesystems could be exported using nfs. Is this correct? Thanks - jon

messagebus and NFS hanging at start
by dcooke＠efn.org 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Is this a problem with system messagebus and NFS connecting to LDAP, and why does it occurr? I need to shorten the time it takes to boot. If I'm not networking, can I turn NFS off? Is there a way to modify /etc/ldap.conf or move routes from rc.local? Thanks, David Cooke
