why we get 0 for both conditions? I am using FC15.
Hi Guys,
here is my scenario:
I am running F10 x86_64 with Nvidia Quadro FX 3400.
I installed the drivers and it worked just fine. No errors generated according to Nvidia log files.
However, while in run level 5 when I try to switch to run level 3 by typing "telinit 3" or "init 3" the X server goes down and I get a blank screen. Same thing happens when I try to switch to a different tty session by <ctrl>+<alt>+F2 (or any F key for that matter).
I also noticed that when I shut down my system I can't see any more the screen where services are shutting down and their status ([OK] or [failed]).
Would appreciate your help on solving this issue.
I just putup the fedora15 on my PC. there are several msg coming up from selinux saying permission denied, though I am not doing any administrative activity. the PC being a workstation for reaserch. how can I know the denial is for an security intrusion attempt. how can I set conditions to see the logs of all security intrusions. how can I set exclusive msg-ing from selinux that the denial is for a security intrusion attempt.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been able to kludge a kill script which finds the correct pid for the kdeserver (or gnome server) after my system comes up in run level 5 so I can drop back to run level 3 mode. Lots of experimentation showed me that using telinit 3 and telinit 5 would occasionally leave the video memory in a mess and I would have the black screen of death.
I set the security parameter setting to autologin for me since I am the only user of my machine, but I still have to kludge the default setting under sysconfig (the DEFAULT_WM) under Window Manager to pick a certain window manager, so it takes time to manually switch the desktop.
Right now I can leave the gui and drop back to cli, but painful experimenting showed me that killing the X server is a no no. Right now I kill the kde server, which sends the SIGTERM to the X windows manager, which then figures out that it has to shut down.
Questions: Is there a better way of doing this? Apparently openSUSE figures that we have multiple users logging into the gui desktop, so the gui is always kept running and a login window with the desktop manager option forces the user to login in. With autologin, this never happens, but no choice of desktop is possible on the fly.
Can some type of script be set up to painlessly enable this to happen? And what is the best way of bringing either the Gnome or KDE desktop manager down gracefully? I do get lots of error messages as the system attempts to recover and X shuts down. It appears that apparently the single user with autologin is left out in the cold.
I want to install a software called TinyOS which is an operating system designed for wireless sensor embedded networks in my account. The problem is it has instructions to install the software as an administrator since i'm not an admin of the department network i can not able to install. Is there any method to install this software as an user level rather than admin level.

View 1 Replies View Relatedhello everyone, im having a problem when my computer enters in the run level 4 as the default when i start slackware. The strange thing is that it not seems that is a X window problem, it looks like more like a configuration problem in some part of the kde script to initialize the log in, because if i manually start the X service it works fine, i dont know what is the source. Thank you in advance for the help.

From an old thread:

I have two linux boxes running RHEL 5.5 with internal ip addresses 10.0.0.114/24 and 10.0.0.118/24, and usual gateway 10.0.0.1. There's an apache listening on both ports 80 and 443 for several websites. This works nice, but the feature for load balancing has to be added. For this, externally, but in the same subnet, a hardware device has been placed for load balancing (we call it "F5"), with internal ip 10.0.0.152 (vrrp for 10.0.0.153 and 10.0.0.154). There's a service address that does NAT via round robin to the servers, 10.0.0.208, managed by the F5 balancer.
If I set as gateway the ip 10.0.0.152 in both nodes, I can use the service address for browsing http and https, *BUT* at a cost that ssh and any other connections, at OS logging level, come from 10.0.0.1, which is innaceptable (i.e., I can' set proper security, regardless the F5 is badly configured), so I have to find another way for this. So, I thought of using iptables mangling capabilities, and my thought is that just changing the default route of the incoming http(s) traffic, everything should be ok. I've done the following:
- Create a table called "F5":
# cat /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
[...]
#1 inr.ruhep
#
[code]....
If I tweak the hosts file in my M$ workstation to test individual access for each server, I can browse the websites with no problem, but if I set the service IP address, I get an error "Document contains no data" in the browser after just a few seconds. Apache logs show nothing in its logs. I can see packets arriving, but seem to go in a loop. I can provide some output, but since surely I'm making some mistake in the process, if I get help with the proper knoweledge about how to fix it, the problem will be solved. But if still someone needs it, I can provide more data.
When I wanna use wget to download some file by http, which conditions fulfilled on the server would make that successful. I mean that such service httpd is running and so on.

certain there is command line magic that will enable me touse find to identify a set of files use tar to create an archive of all matching files I get find to create a list of files that I really want, but I'm dashed if I can discover how to tell tar to roll-up all of those files.
If I use find's -exec option, it runs tar for each filename. Telling tar that input is $(find ...) results in a command line that is correct but too long. I think that I want to tell tar to read the list of files from STDIN, but I cannot discover how to do that if it is possible. I thought that the option "--" double-dash but having that right-most on the tar command did not work.

you can find a cutout of an output generated by "iwlist s" command for a cell. Does anybody know what Quality, Signal level and Noise level mean? What is the definition of them? I searched for it and could not find good information on it. What do these Extra:*** fields for? What does it show in the example above? How were those values computed?

I have a directory that has a another directory inside it. The top directory is rather redundant since it only contains the one other one. Is there a way to delete the top level directory and have the contents simply "move up a level"?

I have recently purchased an asrock ion 330. I have done a fresh install of fedora 10. All initially appears fine. When I modify etc/inittab to run level 5 I start getting problems. When fedora boots tty1 never gets to the login prompt. It stops with 'fuse init (api version 7.9). I don't get the desired graphical login. If I reset to run level 3 it boots fine To the text console and I can login and startx with no problems.

I just upgraded Fedora 10 to Fedora 11. When I rebooted I just had a flashing cursor. So I typed Ctrl-Alt-F2 to open a console window on booting. That worked fine. I was going to edit xorg.conf because I suspected the problem was related to haveing installed the latest Linux NVIDIA drivers (and custom kernal) in Fedora 10 before upgrading to Fedora 11. But, I decided to edit the run level in /etc/inittab first. Unfortunately, I fat fingered run level 3 to runlevel 333. No when booting I get hung up with the error "telinit: illegal run level 333". When I try to use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to open a console window on booting now it doesn't work. How to get into a console window with this error?

When ever I am starting my system at run level 5, it stops booting the machine at a particular point. After starting all the services & before taking user account and password, the fan speed of the cpu increases at faster rate and then after sometime the system automatically stops down.
I have also checked with other run levels, it works fine. I have also gone thru run level 3 and then used the command "startx" but still its not working and the system stopped automatically by making the fan speed up to a high. Primary memory 2 GB.
