<0> I just have been using linux for 10+ years.. just have never played with the framebuffer as I've never had a need to
<1> urkle: yum install kernel-doc; cd /usr/share/doc/kernel{tab}/
<0> already read through those
<0> not very helpful unfortunately :(
<1> not even the fb/ directory ?
<1> not even where it says howto specificy what fb driver to use ? are you sure ?
<0> it just says" oh you need to laod the module with modprobe sometime to get it working"
<0> z00dax: which file says how to specify which driver?
<1> the file called kernel-parameters.txt
<1> which has, surprisingly, the kernel parameters
<0> I wasn't looking there. I was looking in the FB directory
<0> it'd be too logical to put that in the fb directory wouldn't it
<1> no not really
<1> kernel parameters usually go into the kernel parameters file
<1> its been like that since the 1.2.x kernel days
<0> I guess I just ****umed* that since since I've seen parameters described IN the respective driver docs before, that all did..
<1> submit patches
<1> ok, zzzzzzzzz time!
<2> ok so I installed wine but I'm not seeing any words do I need some fonts or osemthing?
<3> HentaiXP: i dont know what that question means but it's for #wine
<2> ok np
<4> How does the kernel know what a valid initrd is?
<4> It says it can't find a ramdisk image. I am just cpio'ing and gzipping my initrd dir.
<4> I'm sure this used to work...
<4> hm
<5> tessier__: I haven't used it, but I think there's a mkinitrd command for a reason.
<4> fedorared: There is. It is for when you only want to build braindead simple default initrd's. Anything other than that and you need to reach for other tools.
<4> fedorared: I, however, am network booting a diskless cpunode off of an AoE SAN.
<4> Under Xen.
<4> So it tftp's xen, the kernel, the initrd, fires it all up, mounts the initrd, and this is where it is suddenly broke. I've made initrd's like this before. I must be forgetting something.
<4> After the initrd mounts it should run the /init script and load the aoe module, make devices, discover aoe devices on the SAN, mount one as root, and then continue booting from it.
<4> I've got it all working but just needed to make a tweak to the initrd and now I've blown it up somehow.
<6> hey guys im looking to upgrade a centos box here centos 4.1 to 4.3 how does one do this via yum
<6> ive been told its yum dist-upgrade
<4> ah-hah
<6> ?
<4> find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -f > /tftpboot/linux-install/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen
<4> That worked.
<4> find . | cpio -ov > ~/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen && gzip ~/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen && mv ~/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen.gz /tftpboot/linux-install/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen
<6> lol duno wat ur talkin bout but ok
<4> That did not
<4> Seems equivalent except for the -H newc which I never used before so it can't be required...
<7> knight555: there is no 'yum dist-upgrade'
<7> knight555: just 'yum update'
<6> wierd ok guess the guy who told me was bonkers
<6> do i need to change the repos to be the 4.3 ones before i update?
<7> yes. you could have simply read the docs for yum and had your answer
<7> knight555: no need
<7> unless you messed with it.
<6> really
<6> its running an older kernal and the yum update doesnt seem to show the latest one
<7> then you've excluded it, or you've messed with the repo files.
<6> ahh ok other guy may have excluded it how do i check whats excluded?
<7> knight555: you could start by reading the yum docs as I suggested
<7> I hear there's a reference to excludes in there.
<6> lol there may be not easier for u to tell me?
<7> I could, but then you'd only learn that I have the answers, and not how to find them for yourself. teach a man to fish, spoonfeeding and all that
<8> or cpanel / virt serv excluded it
<6> lol ok
<7> if you want someone to hold your hand, I bill out at $100-$150/hr.
<6> lol no thanks
<7> at which point, I will happily waste as much time as possible telling you the entire history of yum, and all the options.
<6> doing yum update doesnt require hand holding that would stop u from ebing able to type it
<7> I can type it fine.
<7> but then, my systems are updated.
<6> lol if ur holding sum1s hand
<7> LuvRedheads: did someone confiscate the 'y' and 'o' keys from his keyboard?
<6> kool found the exlude
<7> or is he operating under some form of quota?
<6> lol dude y are u being such a smart *** arnt these channels sposed to be for people to get help not to rideculed when they ask a simple question
<6> indeed
<6> i dont deny that
<9> Zerberus, ? Zerberus donavan: sshfs
<6> more msn for me though
<8> heh
<9> and the 'c' key
<7> that too, yes.
<7> now dammit.. all I want is a 4000 sq ft house in chapel hill with a big kitchen, a nice view, and relatively few neighbors, yet in an area with good intarweb access...
<7> is that really so much to ask?
<7> everything that meets those specs costs a goddamn fortune
<6> you guys missed the ' haven't been using that either. also fullstops.
<9> yes
<9> egad
<8> ack
<9> townhouses and relatively few neighbors would seem to clash
<9> like that pink plaid shirt you wear with the green pants Evolution :|
<7> few neighbors and affordable seem to clash, unless I want to live just up the road from the unabomber
<8> what wrong with livin' in the sticks ?
<9> you'll likely have to do like you did with women Evolution; used and trashy
<7> lack of functional intarweb
<7> bah
<8> and that's bad ? ;) hehe
<9> only if they aren't redheads
<8> less intarweb might do you some good ;)
<9> good point LuvRedheads live close to yuppie parts with plenty of trashy bar tramps
<9> s/parts/bars
<10> were postfix parameter setting
<11> greets all
<11> do rpms exist for centos3 for fuse and sshfs?
<9> is that just to share a point to point only fs?
<11> sshfs is used to mount SSH "shares" to a mount point on your system.. if u can SCP or SFTP to a box, then u can permanently mount a directory on that box on your local machine using SSHFS
<11> FUSE is a generic userspace filesystem thingy that SSHFS depends on :)
<11> awesome tool, and i need an rpm for it in centos3 or RHEL3...
<11> am trying to learn how to roll my own rpms from tarballs to do it myself, but FUSE creates a kernel module and device node and its a bit complex to get that happening in a single RPM for my small brain
<11> not enuff ram
<12> try downloading this one - http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/SRPMS/fuse-sshfs-1.6-3.fc5.src.rpm
<11> mmcgrath, yep tried that. I created a .RPM out of it, and tried to install that RPM on centos3
<12> and?
<11> missing dependancy: Kernel 2.6 or higher :(
<9> interesting this stuff is
<9> so it requires NOTHING on the server side?
<11> I have successfully installed both FUSE and SSHFS on Centos3 from tarball source using the usual ./configure/make/make install
<13> I just got owned by WoW via I think a xss inside php. I was wondering if someone could provide me with a checksum for /usr/bin/find and /usr/bin/md5sum pretty please. thanks.
<11> absolutely nothing on the server side donavan, yes :)
<9> cliffd, man rpm
<9> read about -V
<11> it r0x0rs, check it out at http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html
<9> interesting noosphere, I personally use nfs over openvns to do the same
<11> kewl... i gtg to a meeting, back in 30 mins..
<9> but I'm going to have the openvpn channel open anyway, so this would be extra work, but could be handy in some other situations
<13> donavan: I can verify the files? im not very good with linux. Im a solaris admin, doing this for a friend. how can I find out which rpm a given file is from... find ?
<9> you verify RPMS, not individual files
<13> donavan: would that verify every file that was in that rpm?
<9> cliffd, I'm reluctant to spoon feed -- however, since you seem desperate, 'rpm -qf /bin/bash'
<13> thanks.
<9> ur welcome
<9> and since the upstream docs **** so bad, -qf isn't documented
<9> ohh I guess it is
<9> indirectly
<13> so, if I do rpm -V packagename and it comes back with nothing does that mean everything is legit as far as the files in that rpm are concerned ?
<5> cliffd: yes, no news is good news.
<13> fedorared: thanks.
<14> curious, what is rpm's -V switch for, exactly?
<5> --verify
<5> not to be confused with -v, --verbose
<11> <-- back at the keyboard
<11> donavan, u use nfs over openvpn? I am a huge openvpn fanatic too :). They include a .spec file in their tarball so its easy to create an RPM out of it using rpmbuild.. not the same for fuse and sshfs unfortunately
<15> i was wondering if there was a way to enable maildir thru commandline rather than gui
<15> ?
<16> Hi. Yum has started acting up for no apparent reason.
<16> observe: http://pastebin.ca/134008
<16> I just get loads and loads of python messages whenever I try to do something
<16> I also like how it doesn't finish off with some form of error message
<17> hmm.. anyone knows where the spec files for the packages on centos.karan.org are hidden?
<17> ah, nvm, should've checked the srpms section more carefully
<15> i installed php on my server, but when i go to the pages that i put in my html directory, it shows the code rather than the php
<15> why would that be
<15> anyone?
<18> Morning ...
Return to
