I installed Fedora 15 yesterday. Took a few hours to get used to the Gnome 3 interface, and I love it.I noticed that my fan seems to be running all the time irrespective of system load, even when it's idle.An internet search yielded this supposedly resolved issue where the fan ran constantly on systems with Intel integrated graphicsLike that link states, I am running the latest updatedl kernel-2.6.38.6-27.fc15, but the fan running continuously issue still persists.
I am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:
Code: hwclock --hctosys
I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.
Within a VMWare ESX virtual machine, I am running CentOS 5.2. (Actually, it is kind of a virtual appliance to run CollabNet's Teamforge - which I have installed for a trial). I've been dabling with Linux for a year or so, but I know I have much to learn.
I'm attempting to run a cron job that runs a backup script at 11pm. It works great, but unfortunately it runs at 11:30 am.
I created the cron job using 'crontab -e', while logged in as root. My cron job line is : 0 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /etc/tjt_backup/collabnet_backup.sh
If I type 'date', I get the correct date/time in my timezone: Tue Mar 9 16:27:12 CST 2010
If I type 'clock', I also get the correct date/time: Tue 09 Mar 2010 04:26:57 PM CST -0.463330 seconds
My server is a VPS which is running with CentOS. I found a wield problem that the system clock always runs faster than the hardware clock. For example, I set system clock and hardware clock both on 20:00. After about half an hour, the system clock will be 20:34/5 which is wrong while the hardware clock remains correct (20:30).
I had F11 i586 installed on my X86_64 machine. I used preupgrade to move up to F12. (I had the space problems noted elsewhere, but eventually got all of the F12 packages installed.) Grub now has the following titles:
Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686) Upgrade to Fedora 12 (Constantine) Fedora (2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i586)
If I boot to F12, it boots up to a point where I get garbage graphics and the system freezes. If I boot to F11, SELinux relabels and the system then boots normally. I'd like to boot normally into F12.
It seems I had no say in the matter. The installer automatically did text mode and it starts up in text mode now. I'm very new to Fedora, though I had Ubuntu installed recently but removed it because Fedora seemed a little more interesting to me. I'm on an HP Pavilion dv2807nr laptop if that helps.
I've just upgraded my from F11 to F12 via software update and found F12 extremely slow to the extent that only the mosue cursor moves, the rest does not - not even opening folders or starting application.
My specs: Core2Duo 1GB RAM 160GB HDD
It seems that
npviewer.bin is taking up up to 50% of CPU. Xorg takes 20%..
When I run yum list fedora runs through around 5-10 repos that it can never connect to what's the best way to remove these repos? And which repos are the most reliable?
When booting Fedora 11, my system hangs for a very long time on starting udev. Sometimes I get an I/O error. However, my hardware is fine. I do eventually get in to the system.
I've got fedora 11 set up to use network time protocol to sync my laptop's date & time when I'm on-line. The question is simple really, I've added a local universality's time server (what is public) and it's live. but it's added to the end of the default time servers what come with fedora. How do I get fedora to just use the local time server, is it a case of removing the default time servers for fedora, but there is a box what says advanced options which are. sync system clock before starting service ???? & use Local time source (( is that the same as the local ntp server that I've got set up ))Hope some body can help me with the network time protocol part of Date/Time settings.
I am trying to migrate an XP Laptop to FC 11. I downloaded the latest KDE-Live-x86 image and burned it successfully. When I boot with it however, I get the splash screen and no further.Any option I choose, ncluding the CD diagnostics and Memory Test result in the following:invalid compressed format (err=1)--System HaltedI'm certainly no expert, but am not a linux noob either, yet am at a total loss.Google has yielded many theories, but no solutions. It seems that this error is not exclusive to FC 11 either. Older fedoras, as well as non RPM distros seem to be intermittently effected as well.I have verified the MD5 of the iso, and have verified the cd against the iso. The disc gives the same error in another computer. I cannot access the on-disc diagnostics. XP runs fine.
I have machine which I am using a server for all my office activities. We have fedora (11.0) installed in that system. When even power goes out system is getting shut-down abruptly. We have UPS for this system and some times UPS also runs out of power. Do we have any software, which monitors battery power and shutdown the system gracefully, when system knows that power is running out. I am using desktop machine, not a laptop. So I may some hardware like battery which runs fot sometime, even though there is no power. Then there will software which monitors and shut down the system gracfully.
I want to ask a question maybe a stupid one Here what i understand saying linux user : i can create various users for example for me , for my brother and so on to log in to system. But what does it mean that apache runs under user wwwrun and group www by default . What kind of user is that ? It's explicitly not a user kind that one I know about .
I have just a one line script that runs telnet, and even thoughI've looked around I thought maybe someone could just tell me if there is a way to automatically login to the telnet server without having to type it in everytime. It's more of a hassle type of thing, but no matter what I've tried, I can't get anything to work.
I've tried watching ESPN3 on several systems using F14 with no success. Everything runs very slow and after a few seconds, I get a frozen screen and then a white screen. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem or is it just me? [URL] Everything else that uses flash seems OK, even HD vids on ......
I ran "yum update" and updated my new installation. Afterwards: my main application stopped running. It iis an xwindow app. I am trying to run it from a terminal on the gnome desktop. How can I back out my updates and which packages should I try to remove?
Have homebrewed machine, was running Fedora 8. Installed Fedora 10.Firestarter firewall manager keeps crashing after about 5 minutes. Restarts, runs for a while, then crashes.Thought it might be an IPTABLES turf war with the native Fedora 10 gui firewall manager, so disabled that at System > Admin > Firewall. Also disabled SElinux. Still have problems.Firestarter firewall seems to work OK, just the gui Firestarter monitor/manager.If anyone has ideas as to cause, I'll take a clue.I could use Firestarter to generate the IPTABLES by ..manually editing the /etc/firestarter/inbound|outbound/allow-.. files and then../etc/init.d/firestarter restartBut I find the events log useful to look at. Anyone know where the events log file is kept in the file system?
I have a concern regarding my clock in fedora 12. It always changes time even when I do not change it.
In fedora 10, I to go to CLI > time config > uncheck UTC, But now, it doesn't seem to work. Code: [jun@localhost ~]$ time config Command not found. real0m2.875s code...
For some time, I have been trying to install fedora 14 on my pc, as I want a dual boot machine. It has windows xp already installed and running. I used liveusb creator to make a bootable usb. the problem is, when I log in and start the installer, it runs until I get the option "Select storage device". When I select the appropriate option , basic storage device, the installer screen disappears, and nothing more happens. I shall be much obliged if someone can point out the problem. My computer is a Dell optiplex 745 , 2.8 GHz with 512 Mb of RAM.
have to create a webhost on an running fedora server which runs multiple webpages + a coldfusion serveri have to add an coldfusion virtual host to these.what i would do:*crate a new user & group*enter vhosts.conf and copy an existing host and modify it for the new one.*create an new folder and copy the main files (phpstarter and webroot) *chown the files for the right useri think an apache graceful would be needet
In the system monitor I have a number of unknown processes from user root,-1 that keep popping up (see yellow highlight in image1). What are they?
As you may see zombie processes are also coming and going... among which dns-resolver, ifup, ifdown, ifdown-route, netconfig, nis, ntp-config, udved, grep, touch.... Is that normal??
The system load view in the monitor indicates 2 CPUs with different loads (see image2) when I have only one intelP4. What is this?
At the same time the output of command top seems more regular, except for the high cpu load, although I wouldn't be able to say what every processes is meant for.(image3)
Has anyone an explanation? Is it normal that most of these zombie processes seem network related?
2. Virus report from external server
I usually connect to a server via VPN (to access electronic journals) but recently the access has been denied to me because "my connection is infected with the worm Conficker". I know it is very unlikely that a linux pc catches a virus.. so I am puzzeld... I have a dual boot with Windows (probably infected in some ways) but haven't used it for at least a year..
I installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron about six months ago, and it has gradually slowed down, and CPU utilization has crept up to the 50-60% range. The DEV folder contains a large number of similar files - TTY0 through TTYZF or PTYA0 through PTYZF. I suspect that something is not configured right, but, I don't know where to look.
I connect to the internet through a G4 Wireless Transceiver connected to my ethernet port on an IBM Think Center 8187.
The problem is I need the php program to send member email confirmation which contains a confirm link. Run every min may still make the member wait. So I like to make it to run every 20 or 30 secs.
I don't want to put the code to send email on my sign up page as that's no good.
But I don't want to put a sleep 30 sec on my php script and going on loop. If it failed in the middle then it may wait abit to start.
What can be done to achieve my goal and what's the best way?
Making a php script to run as a daemon process? Is that possible and okay?
I've been having issues with my laptop. It's a Vostro 1700..My web browser runs very slow and every now and then the computer will become unresponsive. Sometimes it will not open application and will get: couldn't exe command GCACTOOL.I decided to go back to Windows XP to see if Ubuntu was the problem but it wasn't.I got error messages regarding the HD, soo I bought a new HD but the problem is still there.
