The controller (cheapo si3112 pci card) recognizes the disks ok, until at some random time some hours later I get a big raft of errors and the disk disconnects. To get the disk back, I have to manually switch channels around for a bit, and sometimes I just have to turn the machine off, wait a minute or two, then turn it back on. Glad to hear about the nforce4. Looks like that's what I'll be getting.

I am having a MySQL problem in CentOS. When I try to access MySQL via command line, I get this error: Cant connect to local mysql server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Google tells me the answer is to make sure the location of mysql.sock is correct in /etc/my.cnf - problem is there is nothing on my machine that is .sock. Any suggestions? I really would like to get this up and running soon

I don't know what you mean by "there is nothing on my machine that is .sock" but if you say 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost that should force it to use TCP instead of local sockets for the connection. You shouldn't see this problem in any other cases (i.e., from remote machines) because they will always be using TCP to connect to mysqld.

No good. Same error. What I did mean is that mysql.sock or any variation of that, does not exist anywhere on the machine.

mysqld is running though, right? (ps -e | grep mysqld) On the RHEL3 system I'm looking at, the socket is in fact in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock so it should be for you too. You should also see if there's a pid file in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid, and that if it exists it corresponds to a running process. Edit: Also, have you done all the database initialization and root user setup?

Not the worlds biggest issue but I've just started using Ubuntu and all I've actually done so far is make my profile look nice (themes, menu's, icons etc) - now, is there any way I can copy my setup to another new user account so the other users profile is already set up like my own? I tried copying the profile from the home directory over to another user but it just gave me access rights errors when I tried to log in as the other user. Is there an actual procedure to this or am I just wasting time?

Onken posted:OK, I have 2 drives in a RAID1 array, sdb and sdc What kind of RAID are you using, software or hardware? If it's software you should have a /dev/md0 device that you can mount. Otherwise, it depends on your RAID card.

At the very least you need to change the ownership of the files: chown -R newuser:newgroup /home/newuser However I doubt that just copying the files is a particularly safe way to do this. Saved passwords, user-specific data, etc. See if your window manager has some "export theme" option to save your custom settings as a theme so you can import it for the new user.

RoundsToZero posted:What kind of RAID are you using, software or hardware? If it's software you should have a /dev/md0 device that you can mount. Otherwise, it depends on your RAID card. Ah well, here's the thing. They were initially hooked up to a hardware controller, but it had horrible Linux drivers so I just ditched it, since I discovered it was essentially a software RAID anyway. So the array was built on the fake-hardware controller, but are now plugged straight into the motherboard. But they seem to activate/show up OK in mdraid so can I just leave the array or should I just rebuild it using mdadm? Regarding /dev/md0, there's already a /dev/md0, md1 etc. right the way up to md30 I think? I can't be certain but I think they were there BEFORE I installed the array, bear in mind this is using Opensuse which I'm not too familiar with so it may something completely unrelated.

If you're not using a dynamic device node manager like udev, you will have /dev entries for everything under the sun. You could just try mounting /dev/md0 and seeing if it works. However it might actually just be part of an LVM group or some other kind of volume manager (hopefully not custom to that hardware controller you had), in which case you wouldn't be able to see the filesystem directly. As for whether or not you should rebuild the array, you'd need to wait for responses from people who know more about software RAID. If I were you and I had backups, I'd consider it. Otherwise, it seems really risky to rebuild something without knowing what exactly it is.

Spartan22x posted:Okay, I'm running KDE on Debian(unstable). In Kate, every time I try to select the Encoding option under the Tools menu (or even just mouse over it), KDE dies. Not just kate, but the whole loving desktop environment freezes, and the only thing I can do is exit out into the shell (or whatever the term is) with ctrl-shift-F1. Is this a common problem/is there any way to fix it? If you are using a Geforce4-era card, you can use the nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx (yes, with 'x's) packages. For even older, double legacy ones, you probably need -legacy-71xx (formerly just -legacy, but then nvidia dropped more support and the second set was added).

Here's a really odd problem that seemingly started out of the blue. No one has made significant changes to this box right before this problem started 2 days ago (they would have reversed by now it if they did do something). All types of processes are running fine, but every process not ran directly through SSH is hanging on the 'ps -ax' list after running (examples being "sh -c" ran through scripts/crontabs, and httpd). Right now I can see process IDs from 10k to 20k - not every number in between but, a high percentage. Pretty much they're like ghost/orphaned processes that can be killed -9 without screwing stuff up but that's not how it should go. They should clean them selves up when they're done. , what could cause this? There are <defunct> in the list for a lot of the shell script commands too which means they're orphaned (right?) but I'm not sure why. Not 100% sure on that but my intuition says it's not hardware. A couple people pointed the finger at nfs issues already but that doesn't seem to be the problem since a lot of the ghost processes aren't related to NFS. It's a pretty old machine, here's the uname -a : 2.4.9-13SGI_XFS_1.0.2smp #1 SMP Thu Nov 15 11:15:43 CST 2001 i686 unknown I made a shell/crontab to cleanup processes so we can actually enjoy the weekend but this is not a solution, just a work around, to the problem. Thanks in advance.

About a month ago my roommate convinced me to install ubuntu over XP. I've liked it so far but he has been MIA for weeks. I have no idea where he is or when he is getting back and his cell phone has been off. He's the computer science major who knows all the codes and how to work Ubuntu and without him I'm completely clueless about how to do anything aside from run the programs under the Applications drop down list. Now I have a windows XP cd and I would really like to go back to windows, at least until he gets back then I will most likely partition XP. I can't for the life of me seem to figure out how to do this. I've googled the question, installed Wine but when I try to run the XP setup.exe it says an error has occurred. I can't seem to fix it and I'm completely lost when it comes to any type of coding. The only reason I got wine installed was because of the detailed instructions on their website. Maybe someone can point me in a direction of a easy mode step-by-step guide for this.

If you're wanting to wipe ubuntu away, then just pop the CD in, reboot, then VIOLA. if that doesn't work, then you are going to have to change the boot order on your computer bios menu, but that shouldn't happen.

I was just hoping that there was some kind of equivalent for Linux. (Not run under emulation) You can use DOSBox to run DOS applications in a bit more "integrated" way, however there is no direct equivalent of OpenGEM natively running in Linux. There are some minimalistic file managers such as Xfe, text-based, Norton-Commander-like Midnight Commander, more advanced ones such as Thunar and Krusader, up to heavyweight Nautilus and Konqueror. For GUI in general the most lightweight one based on modern software would be a combination of any modern X and a minimalistic window manager such as twm. Add Xfe, and it probably will be the smallest fully-functional GUI with a file manager. More advanced window managers such as fvwm (there are many of them in this range) will be a slightly heavier and better looking replacement. Window Maker, combined with FSViewer gives a reasonable approximation of NeXTStep GUI. Above that by "modern look" and resources usage is Xfce (with Thunar as a file manager), and "big two" KDE and GNOME on top. There are also Xview/Openlook and CDE/Motif that are archaic but not really lightweight. Personally, not being a fan of bloated Nautilus, I run GNOME with Thunar in place of Nautilus and Sawfish as a window manager (both required some tweaking to replace Nautilus and Metacity in GNOME). teapot fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Jul 7, 2007 |
