Fedora :: Yum And Comps File Is Empty/damaged?
Dec 2, 2010
I have setup a local repository containing several .rpm files. I created a comps.xml file outlining the category and groups for the local repository. However, when I issue the yum grouplist command, I get the following error:
Failed to add groups file for repository: localRepo - comps file is empty/damaged
However, if I try to install one of the the packages in the repository, it works just fine.
Here are the steps I took to create the repodata:
The comps.xml and repository are stored in the directory:
/var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
cd /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
createrepo -g comps.xml .

I just installed FC10 and then used yumex to install the vsftpd FTP daemon package. I'm using the vsftpd.conf file that came with the distribution, and its almost identical to one I copied from my FC2 machine's working set-up. When I try to FTP in as a known system user I'm presented with my home directory /home/myusername/. The directory appears empty to the FTP program, but isn't in reality. I can't upload a file to the empty home directory. I can move up the directory hierarchy to /home/, but again that appears as an empty directory.
I don't think it's a vsftpd.conf file issue. I've tried everything I can there. Could it have something to do with permissions? I fiddled with those, but couldn't make an FTP directory listing work.

after update f12 to f13 geany stopped to work correctly on remote storage (sftp). Geany opens file correctly, but when I try to save, it saves empty file. I tried "notepad" and "gedit", they work good on f13. Geany on f12 worked correctly too.

I pulled the MicroSD card out of a non-working Android phone to backup its data onto my Debian system. My Desktop is Cinnamon and I was simply using copy/past from within Nemo. The files began to be transferred but during the transaction a dialog popped up declaring an input/output error. From that point on the card was not readable on my system.
I initially plugged the card into the computer via a USB card reader. I later tried using an SD card adapter and plugging it in my printer's SD slot. Still the system would not recognize the card. I also tried plugging the card into another Android phone. The phone could not read the card and attaching the phone to a computer did not recognize the card either. I then logged into a Windows 7 system but it could not detect it. The partition manager always showed the USB drive or SD slot as "device not connected". The last thing I tried was putting the card, with the SD adapter, in my camcorder. The camcorder prompted to format but failed to do so.
I would like to recover the pictures and videos off of the card but I am afraid that there may have been hardware failure on the card's controller. I have been searching around most of the day trying to find a solution but nothing I have tried has rendered it detectable on any system. If it is controller failure, need repairing or recovering data from physically damaged SD cards?

My laptop was damaged a couple of months ago. Just a short drop from the couch, but it was hard enough to make the HD inaccessible. I took it to a local, respected shop but they couldn't save any of the data and simply installed a new HD after consulting me.
I have the old drive and would still like to retrieve the data, if the price is right. What should I ask about when looking for another repair shop?

Currently I have two separate running laptops on a home network.
The "remote" comp has slackware running on it. I would like to use my main comp to control both, by switching the control of main keyboard(and mouse) between the two comps quickly at will.
I currently have the remote comp running an ssh-server. Is it possible (and practical) to set this up using ssh?......similarly, what c++/c libs are available to build this kind of server?.....

I've noticed that when I run:
davek@linux-kw2x:~> df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 20641788 8427780 11165368 44% /
udev 961204 192 961012 1% /dev
/dev/sda3 217642344 4037944 202548468 2% /home
davek@linux-kw2x:~>
I have 44% used. It should be much smaller, under 10%. How do I empty the /tmp file or other file to free up space?

I have a large file that a process writes to. I would like to empty that file. If I delete it the process will stop writing to it. Just flush the content but keep the file.

I was copying an .avi file to an external hard drive and half way through the copy the drive reset and required remounting. Consequently I have an empty .avi file on the hard drive. I tried to recopy the file and overwrite, but I keep getting 'Could not write to media/harddrive/filename.avi'. I tried to rename to file to be copied but got the same response, I cannot delete the empty file either, as I get an error telling I cannot delete it. I have tried to do this as the user and root with the same result.Any other file I tried to copy onto the external hard drive is fine, just this one zero length file and the file I was trying to copy, the original of the file. I also tried to delete the file on another computer but couldn'tExternal hard drive is a WD elements ntfs, which works great except for this glitch.

I having been searching for a way to create an empty or blank iso file, so that I can mount it, and have a backup application think it's a blank CD. I am tired of wasting CD's by having the application write a recovery CD, just for me to turn around and export it to an iso image to be stored in a online archive, and then throw away the physical CD.

Using awk I pull the first field of a random line from my datafile.myvar1=`awk -F" " 'NR=='$randline' {printf "%s", $1}' myfileThis works fine. The problem is there will be empty lines at the end of the file. Rather than using awkto filter out blank lines I would like to figure this out first.So I test $myvar1 for a blank string after setting $randline to one that I know is blank:test -z "$myvar1" && echo "true" || echo "false"But, this returns "false"? So the string is not zero length. Why? It's a tab-separated file. Is awk storing the tab with the $1 field or something.This is where I get headache. I try to echo my variable to see what it looks like.
echo "$myvar1"
outputs: nothing
echo "My variable is [$myvar1]"
outputs: [y variable is [
Why is the closing bracket at the beginning? What character could be stored in $myvar1 that would do such a thing and how did it get there?

Greetings, I have installed a VMware host on Windows 7 64bit and followed with a 10.04LTS 64 bit guest install. Everything went smooth. I have used VMware before, but the other way around.. Linux host and Windows guest.
So this time I am installing the VMWare tools on the guest, ubuntu 10.04, but it seems to be failing. The vmware tools install ran fine the first time with no errors, but I was getting the follwoing error after logging into the Ubuntu guest afterwards.
Could Not Apply the Start Configuration for Monitors
Error Line 1: Char 1 Whitespace or empty file
So I re installed the VMware tools once again, but still the same.
I am hoping that someone here has come across this before and hs a workaround. I don't think the vmware tools was installed correctly.

I use DOS and WIndows XP for engineering and CAD work, and HAD a WORKING dual boot system, with NTLDR booting both systems. Now, after my attempts to add Fedora 14, I don't have ANY working OS. I don't know much of anything about Linux. I just wanted to add it to my to machine for safe and reliable web browsing and email. I know it can be used for much more, but that was just the initial goal.
I've watched a friend create a triple boot with Linux a couple years ago, and he wrote the procedure up for me. (I've seen the same procedure posted many places online.) It involves installing linux to a clean formatted XT3 OR XT4 partition and GRUB to the root of the same partition. Then you "DD" the first 512 bytes of the partition to a file "bootsect.lnx" in the primary partition. And finally, you reference "bootsect.lnx" in the Windows BOOT.INI.
I repartitioned the drive for Linux, using Partition Commander 11. It's structured like this. (sizes are my best recollection)
I booted from a Fedora 14 LIVE CD. Ran GPARTED from a terminal window. It identified the 100GB XT 4 partition as SDA7 and the 2GB Linux swap as SDA8. I figured this was the only place Fedora would go. So I started the installer.
It didn't tell me where it was going to install, but alerted me that I had FAT, FAT32 and NTFS partitions. I was given several choices and selected the option that would not touch those partitions. The installation proceeded, and I was never given the chance to tell the installer where to install GRUB. I had every reason to expect that it installed to the XT4 partition. On reboot, I now have a command line, "GRUB:" No DOS, WINDOWS or Linux.
Is there anyway to restore my DOS and WIndows booting under NT Loader? Or is it gone for good? I may want Linux, but I can't live without the DOS and WIndows for my work. If it IS possible to fix this can we do that BEFORE we get back to installing Linux?

I'm installing Wordpress and I want Hosting Multiple Sites with them. For that I need modify the httpd.conf file but it's empty. Where I can make that changes? These are the changes:
1. Type: LoadModule rewrite_module /libexec/mod_rewrite.so
2. Find the <VirtualHost> section in the httpd.conf file.
3. Find a line in the <VirtualHost> section of the httpd.conf that looks like this: AllowOverride None
3. Replace that line with this line: AllowOverride FileInfo Options
4. On a new line, type ServerAlias *.[URL].
5. Save the httpd.conf file and close it.
