Comments:
<0> then get the latest madwifi and give it a try
<1> Actually it looks like it would be a prism54 or similar chip, so try prism54.org.
<2> ysoavey, the only parameter is dom0_mem=1G
<0> There's 2 versions of the dongle, I'll have to see if it's prism54 or not
<0> I have V2
<1> I wonder what dvdisaster is..
<3> hmm... i have just installed Core 5 on my server, and am trying to administer it via ssh
<3> and... i type service <servicenamehere> status and it says service isnt installed... can i run yum to get this from commandline?
<4> yes
<5> AutOPSY, from what I can tell it creates images of CD's in the event they are damaged, you can recreate them
<5> *shrug*
<3> i just typed "yum install service"
<3> did i do that right?
<4> no
<3> ok :(
<3> im used to debian
<3> and apt
<4> what service are you trying to start?
<3> httpd
<1> Yeah.
<3> and mysqld
<4> yum install httpd
<4> yum install httpd mysql-server
<3> its installed though, but it errors and complains about missing modules
<3> ah nice, thanks i'll try that and see if it fixes its dependencies
<6> KoRnouille : we have fc5 fglrx. It's in testing process due to known unstability.
<3> seems a bit odd as this is a fresh install, i ***umed the default config would work straight off
<7> Anvil: "we" ?
<3> XulChris: both of those report "Nothing to do"
<6> KoRnouille : rpm.livna.org.
<1> nuphear, it does. You haven't provided the module problems you7 are talking about for anyone to actually confirm what the problem is.
<3> im ***uming that means both are installed happily?
<4> nuphear: probably already installed then
<3> AutOPSY: sorry, they flew past @ boot time, didnt catch what they were... whats the command to check the log?
<1> Install time?
<4> nuphear: just run: /sbin/service httpd restart
<7> Anvil: aah, ok ! Well, it's good to know. But this livna ati package is for the ATI 3D support, right ?
<1> Installation logs are in /root.
<6> KoRnouille : it's only available for latest FC5 kernel though.
<3> AutOPSY: nah boot time
<3> thanks XulChris: i'll try that
<7> Anvil: I'm up-to-date to the latest FC5 kernel
<1> Is the problem with yum, while installing or while booting.. or you aren't sure?
<8> there was some instructions around to make madwifi rpms from livna to work properly?
<7> so does anyone knows where I should put my kickstart "ks.cfg" file on my custom FC5 DVD to be available from DVD boot using the "linux ks=cdrom" syntax ?
<3> AutOPSY: umm... not entirely sure. It seemed to install fine. I just installed the default packages that came in C5
<3> e.g. httpd, mysqld, etc
<3> Starting httpd: [FAILED]
<3> :(
<3> is there somewhere where it would spit the error out?
<3> this is my first time setting up a httpd server properly...
<4> nuphear: try /var/log/messages
<3> ok
<1> Apache httpd logs are in /var/log/httpd I'm pretty sure.
<4> nuphear: ya you can check /var/log/httpd/error_log
<3> damn... nothing there... interesting. /var/log/httpd is there, but nothing in the dir
<3> i'll go over my config file... and see if i can see anything that looks dubious in there
<4> nuphear: anything in /var/log/messages?
<2> nuphear, what are the rights on that directory (/var/log/httpd) ?
<3> is there a commandline apache config app? (im ***uming not)
<0> nuphear: Are you using virtually named servers?
<3> XulChris: i did a tail of /var/log/messages and nothing about httpd came up, just kernel messages
<0> If so, the logs are in /var/www/whateversiteyouwantlogsfor
<1> Logs can be anywhere.
<1> It is specified in httpd.conf.
<4> i think he is using a default config
<0> AutOPSY: You can specift with virtually named servers, that's what i do
<0> AutOPSY: You set it in the virtual capsule
<3> hmmm... i am using a default config, but did some slight modifications in the graphical interface in gnome...
<3> CyberSpy: im not sure about the virtually named servers, im just using whatever it came default setup as. would the best bet be to go through my httpd.conf and totally make sure everything is set right (to the best of my knowledge?)
<4> it should work out of the box
<3> yeah thats what i had thought :/
<4> you need to find out why starting the service fails
<3> like simply start up httpd, and you'd be away
<1> So whatever modification you did broke it.
<0> nuphear: Why not just locate the log you want
<3> AutOPSY: didnt change anything but the name of the server, no directory changes or anything
<1> And you think that won't break something?
<3> CyberSpy: lol... i dont know what log i want :( as i say im fairly new to linux
<3> AutOPSY: i dont know.. but yes possibly it did!
<1> Which directive did you change?
<1> Wait..
<3> umm it was in the http server config utility under gnome, i simply changed the "server name" and webmaster email
<4> nuphear: what happens if you type: apachectl start
<1> You are trying to start httpd as root or as a user?
<3> XulChris: not found
<3> AutOPSY: as root
<0> nuphear: I know it's kind of late now, but I would edit your httpd.conf from terminal from now on, not the gui
<4> nuphear: log in as root using: su -
<3> CyberSpy: yeah i think so... i've setup apache (a very old version a few years ago) and it worked really easily, on an old version of slackware... 8 i think it was
<3> XulChris: yeah im logged in as user then su'd
<1> Slackware 8 isn't exactly old.
<4> nuphear: you need to log in as root using the "su -" command
<3> haha, well it was around 4 or 5 years ago.. i think it was 8
<3> XulChris: "su -" oo i'll try that i simply used su
<3> done
<3> ah
<3> apachectl start simply dropped down to a clear line
<3> i ***ume it did something
<3> what is the significance of the "-" in su - ?
<9> you have the $PATH of root
<3> ok cool
<3> doing apachectl restart gave me some info...
<3> cant load mod_access.so
<3> haha
<3> i think its something to do with the graphical editor you know ;)
<3> httpd: Syntax error on line 176 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<3> checking file now...
<3> whats the commonly used text editor in fedora?
<3> im used to using pico and just tried yum install pico and it didnt find it. vim ?
<0> nuphear: That's subjective
<0> I use nano
<3> CyberSpy: thats a pico clone yeah?
<0> some people use gedit
<3> awesome thats installed i'll use nano
<0> sometimes I use kwrite
<3> ah k no worries, i'll try those when im @ the server next
<3> also i was goin to ask about vnc... the server is hosted a little way away from my home, so i was thinking it would be handy to be able to get into the machine to a x session
<3> can i set that up from remotely here as well?
<3> (saves me heading over to where the machine is)
<0> You can do anything remotely I suppose.
<3> no worries :) would you recommend the built in vnc server, or is there something preferably better?
<0> That's all subjective, I never say anything is better than another (unless it's a project I'm on the devel team for heh), it's whatever you like.
<3> hehe fair enough mate. any my experience so far with fedora has been pretty good.. it has the honor of being the first OS to be install on my fresh machine!
<3> i must say, im impressed with the Pentium D processor..
<0> Now, if you ask me about ftp/fxp apps, that would be different
<3> haha ok, whats good for ftp? ;)
<0> kftpgrabber
<0> hands down
<3> nice i'll remember that :)
<0> but use the svn version, not what's "stable" (0.6.0)
<3> what WM do you run?
<0> svn is up to 0.7.9
<0> KDE
<3> ah ok sweet, i have found alot of software is good in the versions later than the stable, and also alot have a stable version that is extremely outdated
<3> haha.. e.g. debian 3.1 ;)
<3> they lost us as users, due to the fact their kernel in the stable release doesnt support our hardware
<1> Well, that is where Linux falls into categories.
<1> Debian packages may be sowed up as far as security, and bugs are concerned, but with that you pay the price of out-datedness.
<0> AutOPSY: Is there a meeting today? And if so what time?
<1> In Fedora Core latest releases, there will always be some bug or something someone can find in new software, with this you don't pay the price of out-datedness.
<3> ah fair enough, makes sense i guess. I agree i would be prepared to sacrifice bleeding edge advances over security and stability
<8> how should i config fglrx?
<8> on FC4 there was a configuration program
<8> fglrxconfig or something
<1> CyberSpy, not that I know of, I attend any open meetings in #Fedora-livecd I just stay idle in the mab***adors' channels.
<3> but.. in this case, we had no choice. as we needed to be running at least kernel 2.6.11
<1> No no..
<1> You are misunderstanding me..
<1> With new software, comes problems that haven't been fixed, this is always the case in general, not that it is insecure and unstable..
<0> lol that's funny, since your in famsco
Return to
#fedora
or
Go to some related
logs:
#gentoo
ubuntu iproute2 ifconfig deprecated
defcon8 lisp
#perl
#linux
Pentium D preslar
Linux +magnetoptical
#suse
linux for old people
wxwidgets gotcha
