I've built a custom livecd. On my cd files like /lib*/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper are owned by bin not root and the rws is rwx on the owner permission.
There are many files like this.
I am trying to update my fedora 8 kernel, is there a way to do that? I build the one of kernel.org but when i want to boot it a get a lot of messages like:
mount: cant find /dev/root
I tried to follow the guide at building a custom kernel for fedora, but thats just for the last supported version of the kernel of fedora 8.
I'm trying to work with the pcsx2 dev to compile on fedora 86_64. [URL]. Unfortunately I seem to be missing a gtk2 / glib package as building stops with:

I have gtk2-devel.i686, glib-devel.i686 and all the other dependencies afaik - How do I get yum to tell me which gtk* packages are installed for instance...?
I need to build customs liveCd (usb) to run a distributed application that I'm developing. I have been using debian live-helper to build debian live cds, and it's very flexible, and works. But I'm looking for an alternative to it. I have heard about fedora livecd-creator. What do you think is a better tool?: livehelper or livecd-creator, maybe about good hardware recognition, easy to use, flexibility, reliability, etc. What others good tools are to do this job?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have builded my kernel through wiki manual, BUT, the kernel-headers rpm-package has not been builded. Now i have only two packages: kernel and kernel-devel. Is that ok? (i think, that it is not ok, because when i build the same version of kernel on x86_64 platform, after rpmbuild command i have kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages) My CentOS version is 5.2; platform i686; kernel, kernel-headers, kernel-devel packages 2.6.18-92.el5.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving spent weeks perfecting my Ubuntu the way I like it, I was wondering if there is a way of preserving it as a either a liveCD or USB flash drive, with a view of using it on other PC's activated upon start up?
Possibly (under the USB option) with the option of launching from the flash drive itself, or installing onto a PC's hard drive.So, in essence, it would be a liveCD but custom made to reflect the way my Ubuntu looks and feels now? Is there any easy-to-use software available to perform such a task?
I have managed to work out how to use remastersys to create a Custom.iso LiveCD.
Can anyone advise how I can transfer a folder of documents, so they are included in the custom.iso?
I tried to put a new folder/docs inside the 'examples' folder, which shows up on the Desktop of LiveCD users, but this 'examples' folder is write-protected.
I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 from a live cd on a recently formatted 80gb hard drive. Ubuntu seemed to hang and become unresponsive after waits exceeding 40 minutes. As I had some difficulty creating the media, burning the iso to disc, I attempted to install a couple other distros, mint and xubuntu, to see if they worked. These displayed the NTLDR missing message and prompted me to restart.
PC: pentium 4 2.93 ghz processor
80 gb hd
512mb RAM
lite on dvd/cd burner
There is a working 150gb hd with xp on it set as the #2 hd in bios. I would like to install a linux-based os on the smaller drive, preferably ubuntu, but am growing a little impatient. Is there a bootloader or anything I will need to install, and what should be the final configuration of the two hard drives once I get another os installed on the hd dedicated to it?
I'm having a problem building some applications (e.g. Qsynth and FreeCAD) with sbopkg relating to an unfound library named "jscore". I've been keeping my system up to date with slackware64-current.Google searches have turned up very little about this library. There is a sourceforge page that has no files and seems to be related to a google hosted script jsCore.js... but I don't think that's what's missing here. I've come across some vague references to this jscore library being part of webkit. Can anyone verify this? I updated my webkit library itself and found no apparent results. Perhaps jscore was removed in an update to Qt (both of the example applications mentioned above link to Qt) as it seems to have it's own webkit library, libQtWebKit.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust spent three whole days barking up the wrong tree, solving Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 boot failures because the correct hypothesis was illogical: installation did not update/modify the initrd.
The first couple of times I installed Fedora 11 on the HighPoint Technologies RocketRaid 2640x4, the installation inserted my "custom" driver module (rr26xx) into the initrd, permanently, so that the system booted off the controller card for which the custom driver was inserted. (I yelled about this success in this thread: [url]
My most recent installs of BOTH F11 and F12 on the RocketRaid failed to properly set up the boot. It turns out that the "rr2640" module I "slipstreamed" into the installation process was *NOT* permanently added to the initrd by anaconda. (F12 gave me "no root device found boot has failed, sleeping forever", on boot; F11 hung also, without such error, I presume, during the init script execution). Because of limited resources and time, I only know for sure the module was missing from the F11 initrd, and am ASSUMING the same was the case with F12.
The only difference between the successful installs and the ones with failed boot is that the successful installs were made on a single-drive (JBOD) mode on the controller; whereas, the failed ones were placed on RAID 5. But, AFAIK, the created logical device for the card is "/dev/sda", in both cases, and the kernel can not distinguish between the two cases (or can it?). Thus, the inconsistency cost me a lot of time, and is still inexplicable to me.
Question: What is the best way to deal with custom drivers, today? There are custom spins, and many tools, like isomaster. Stupid question: Is there a way to modify the initrd inside an installer ISO -- be it for CD/DVD/USBboot drive -- beefing the init RAM disk with whatever modules you'd like, for the boot process (using, say, isomaster)?
And what makes anaconda understand that a module must be added to the initrd ? How can one force anaconda to do so?
How does moving to dracut as the initrd tool affect any/all of the above?
With F11 installed Apache is having permissions issues reading files out of the html directory. Only wants to work with permissions set to read for other.

Is there a good reason not to change the group to apache and remove world read?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a partition that I mount as /data on all of my distros of my multi-boot machine. I am having a bear of a time figuring the right way to address permissions/groups so that any distro can use it (or any removable drive).I tried (in linuxmint) making a group '/data' and assigning the users on my machine to that group, then changing the permissions/groups of the files and folders in that mount as belonging to the /data group, then booted to fedora 15, made the /data group, added the users to that group, I'm not sure that this way will work (it doesn't seem to) or if it's the best way to proceed. some of the things I don't get are:what is the '1000' user and group?is the user/group info on (in or somehow attached) the mount itself?does this seem like a good way to do this?is there on way to 'apply permissions to enclosed files' recursively through the nautilus context menu?

When I ran the program KLamAV I found 8 files that were infected with a virus that was downloaded from fedora onto my computer today. Because of KLamAV is not a complete program I can not remove the virus or fix the problem.Location of original virus:

at this point the two files original virus is: Heuristics.encrypted.zip from here the file unzips and spreads the virus through out the computer.This is coming from the install DVD disk or the download up date.
Discovered today that my /share directory is missing or corrupt. All fields (permissions, ownership, inode, etc) read '?'. Will a fsck from single user mode fix this?
