I read that AMANDA is only for Intel processors, but I have a PowerPC processor and I want to install AMANDA.Someone said that I have to find the distro of my RH and there should be AMANDA packages available.
My distro is: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)Where can i find AMANDA for my distro??
when i typed command /usr/sbin/amcheck intra on client side i got following error.(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: info dir /var/log/amanda/intra/curinfo: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /var/log/amanda/intra/index: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
I am trying to install AMANDA onto a RH Linux4 client, but when I type in: rpm -i amanda-backup_client-2.6.1p2-1.rhel4.i386.rpm
I get the error:
libcurl.so.3 is needed by amanda-backup_client-2.6.1p2-1.rhel4.i386
Suggested resolutions:
/var/spool/up2datecurl-7.12.1-11.el4.ppc.rpm
If I want to restore an full backup of AMANDA, will it restore the OS along with the files or does it just restore all the files in /
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've run into a problem when trying to restore a file using AMANDA. My setup is as follows: I have a server that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 and I have a client that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. I successfully backed up files on the client using AMANDA.
Now I am trying to restore a file from the backup and restore it to the client running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. In order to do this, I have to go through the server which runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4.
Here is the problem I encounter. When I try the restore, it freezes at the extraction process. I've left it running for the night and still it is stuck at the same place. The restore never completes.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows what seems to be the issue? Could it be that the AMANDA driver I installed does not allow restore with different versions of Red Hat? Or is there an update in Red Hat 4 that would fix this issue?
I installed amanda on a client that uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. When I do an amcheck from the server, I get this:

I've been trying to set up MintPPC on my girlfriend's old iBook. I started with the debian squeeze installation from a burned cd. Everything went fine and i booted into the new system.
No matter what I try to install I get that error, with different sectors each time. I can install .debs using dpkg just fine, I can compile source code. apt-get just won't work.I've been reading about this for hours, and the machine is currently running e2fsck -c on the main filesystem. It is a more or less never ending stream of those errors with a few that reference task_pio_intr rather than dma_intr thrown in for good measure.I've been reading for hours but I haven't found anything on the google or forums that matches my problem(or atleast not that I could understand).
From my research I've tried hdparm to change the DMA mode, slower and faster and no luck, removing the .bins in one of the apt folders, and reinstalling debian.I've read the posts I could find on here, and mostly the problem seemed to be intermittent for them. For me it is only when I use apt-get, and now apparently e2fsck(badblocks). It happens every single time with apt, I can't use it to install anything. But i've done plenty of other file operations without a bump.Any suggestions would be most welcome! Especially an in depth explanation of what that message means. I'm happy to do my own research and work, I just have no idea what's going on!
Is it possible to convert/recompile an already compiled x86 binary into an ARM binary?I'm using a BeagleBoard with a command-line Ubuntu (Maverick) and want to run a Ventrilo server but the x86 executable they supply cannot be run on the hardware as far as I can tell (most likely due to differing architecture).Unfortunately I don't have access to the source to allow me to recompile it natively.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am going to order the parts and build a new PC soon. One goal I have on my new machine will be to use Windows as little as possible and use Linux. In Linux I will need to use an emulator/virtual machine of some sort for things like playing World of Warcraft or City of Heroes and running Photoshop. (No, Gimp is not just as good for my needs). I plan to have 4Gb, to start, of ram and my question comes to one of processor selection. I assume that running a Windows app in Linux would be one of the most system taxing things I could do. Would I be better served by more processor cores or a higher clock speed for these tasks? I will undoubtedly have an AMD proc. I have been considering the following.
Athlon II X3 440 3.0 Ghz.
Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition 2.8 Ghz
Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2 Ghz
Athlon II X4 630 2.8 Ghz
AMD Phenom II X2 545 3.0 Ghz
I am leaning towards the X3 440 (or 435) for the sake of cost so that I can squeeze a discreet video card into my budget but that it outside the scope of my question. Extra info just in case The Black Editions are very over-clockable with unlocked CPU multipliers. The Phenom II CPUs have 6Mb of L3 cache and the Phenom II CPUs do not. The question boils down to how well Linux and Wine are multi-threaded to make use of all available cores and what impact, if any, L3 cache has in a Linux environment.
I was wondering if I would be if i able to use x86 linux distros with my 64 bit processor, or do I have to use the 64 bit version?

I'm fairly competent with Linux at this stage and as we have just installed a new Red Hat 5.5 Server to host our DB at work it has basically fallen to me to sort everything out. The only thing I'm not 100% on is a backup strategy at the moment. Basically, the server / DB is not that big and as such we will be doing a full backup every night of the whole file system.
As it is there are several LVM partitions across several disks (these are all virtual both on the SAN and as a virtual machine). My question is what would be the best way to create a full backup overnight of the whole server including all the partitions (or a backup of each partition I'm guessing is more feasible). This doesn't seem to be too difficult to do, but my main problem is restoring the backup.
Is it a simple matter of basically .tar'ing the whole / filesystem? and if so, to restore can I just use a live CD to restore the partition that is needed? How does LVM affect the restoration process? I have looked at Amanda as a backup solution, though we wont be backing up directly to tape (backup to a share location then copy to the tape drive).
I have an old mini-desktop computer I want to have as a spare machine for internet browsing and checking email. It has a copy of XP currently, but the previous owner didn't put the key in so I can't get onto it at all. I plan on putting linux on it, just not sure what it can handle. It has 384 megs of RAM I believe, and the processor is a via C3, so I'm not even sure if I can run linux on it. I've checked the faqs and googled a bit, but I can't tell if it's i486, i586, or one of those things, and I'm not sure what linux distros(if any) are compatible. Will linux mint be able to run on a 900mhz processor of this sort and 384 megs of RAM? I'm thinking no, but it's the only linux distro I've dabbled with before. If not, will ubuntu? Will opensuse?

Quote:
$ modprobe -r processor FATAL: Module processor is in use.
How can I do it?
I guess it's natural. Processor module allows the cpu to go to C1-C3 states (in my case). It may be possible to do it brutally, by running a superfluous process to force C0, but I'd like a sophisticated way.
The reason I'd like it is I'm troubleshooting hibernation (s2disk). According to [URL], it's worth trying.

I'm configuring Amanda Enterprise on an OpenSuSE 11.3 system, and everything but the scheduled backups are running. I decided to try and fix it tonight, but I'm pretty fed up by now.
So here's the background:
The application creates an account on the box named "amandabackup" and adds it to the 'video' and 'disk' groups.
It generates cron jobs in /etc/zmanda/zmc_aee/crontab, which is configured as the location of the crontab file for the amandabackup user.
The crontab is owned by amandabackup:disk with a mask of 644.
So I played around with it a little bit; I ran the backup task manually as amandabackup, which worked fine.
I then tried adding the following to the crontab:
And touched amandacron.log, then made sure it was owned by amandabackup with a mask of 644 (i also tried /etc/amanda/amandacron.log, which is a directory the account stores backup session configs in, so I know it can write to it properly). The file is never updated. I tried adding amandabackup to different groups (it's currently been added to the "Users" group), with no success. I tried a symlink to the crontab file in /etc/cron.d to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't.
At this point, I went online and tried some more stuff I found:
I checked /var/log/mail/amandabackup - everything *but* cron jobs were reporting to it.
I verified cron was running with both "ps -ef | grep cron" and "rccron status"
I ensured /var/spool/cron/tabs/amandabackup existed, showed the proper entries, and was set to 644. (this one's the important bit)I checked /var/log/messages, and every minute on the dot I see: <timestamp> /usr/sbin/cron[PID]: Permission Denied
I ensured there was no /etc/cron.allow, and that /etc/cron.deny did not contain amandabackup.
I tried making an /etc/cron.allow, adding amandabackup, and restarting the cron daemon, but this did nothing.
I don't think I've forgotten anything, but my attempts have been getting progressively more feverish, so I'm not positive. Is there some annoying YAST cron panel I'm not seeing? Is there some way of getting more verbose logging out of the cron daemon than just "permission denied"? Is there some draconian rule about crontabs only working based on some otherwise-arbitrary account setting?
I have looked many places for good tutorial on configuration of amanda client with Karmic, but none of them are good enough. I basically got following message no matter what I change in Client side.
1. I am using 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic client with 2.5.2p1 amanda-client with xinetd.
2. The user is backup, group is backup.
3. The config file is located at /etc/amandahosts, and /var/backups/.amandahosts and /var/lib/amanda/.amand ahosts using soft link to the /etc/amandahosts file.
4. /etc/amandahosts file have following line.192.168.0.14 backup amdump.The 192.168.0.14 is server IP address.
I'm trying to install Amanda 3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) using Ubuntu 10.04 deb package. The installation was successful using the dpkg command. The problem crops up when configuring such amanda. When creating a user amandabackup using passwd amandabackup and then enter in it through su - amandabackup a permission denied problem comes up. When enter amserverconfig Dailyset 1 etc etc the server response with :
amservingconfig: critical (fatal): Cannot create debug file "/var/log/amanda/server/amserverconfig.2010120307947.debug": Permission denied and continues
The permissions are set to rw 1 amandabackup backup. I can't understand why it's telling me permission denied each time.
