General :: FCronDaemon Processe Making /var Full?
Mar 16, 2011
While working on disk usage issue, I found that /var filesystem is getting full due to FCronDaemon processes. After killing these processes, filesystem usage went down by 70-90 %. Can anyone help me why these processes are being generated again and again and why consuming this much of disk usage ??
/usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -i -odi -oem -oi -t Is there any way to stop them permanently. I check cronjobs but found nothing substantial. Also sendmail daemon is stopped on this server.

I have installed the most basic Arch Linux only with command line interface as guest OS on Windows using VMware. The problem is when I maximize the Vmware window, the Arch Linux console does not adjust to the full screen. How to do this without installing X window?
I also want to make copy-paste work to and fro from windows without installing X. Is it possible?

Whenever I'm dealing with large numbers of computers that need to have identical windows installations put on them, I love using Symantec/Norton Ghost to image the NTFS partition (just making the .gho file the size of the disk I've used, instead of the 160/320GB full volume size), and then uploading it automatically to a windows share.I'd love to be able replicate this exact process with Ubuntu. I have one computer that's ready to go, and a few dozen more that I'd like to quickly get that same image on.
I've heard that there's a command called dd that can make disk images, but I'd really like some sort of boot disk that can allow me to make an image, save it, then run the boot disk on another computer to allow me to reconnect to the server and dump that image on that computer. Ghost 4 Linux doesn't have a network/server component, I think.even if such solutions cost money, I'd love to know if they exist or not.

My server is showing as 95% full, but when I check any folders underneath and files, they add up to about only a few percentage of the space.
- /tmp - 2GB LUN
- currently using 1.8GB of the 2GB
- files in the directory add up to only 50MB (I've checked for hidden files as well.. 'ls -lah'
Anyway else of telling how /tmp can have so much usage when there appears there is hardly anything in it?
What will happen to the server if /tmp is full?

I want to make an rpm which when installed as an update causes another rpm to be removed. I'm fairly sure this is possible because I have seen LibreOffice rpms install as updates replacing OpenOffice rpms in the process without any interaction being required. However I'm unable to figure out how to do it, even after having looked at the spec file for such a LibreOffice rpm.
I have package gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg installed. I have another package called multimedia installed. I've built a new version of multimedia which includes the gstreamer ffmpeg plugin so I don't need the gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg package installed any more. I've tried using Provides and Obsolete in the spec file of the new multimedia package. E.g.
Code:
Provides: gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg
Obsoletes: gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg <= 0.10.10
(I've tried it with and without version numbers.) Whatever I put in the spec file, when I try and install the new multimedia package as an update zypper says
Code:
$ zypper up -y multimedia
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
Problem: multimedia-1.1-1.i586 obsoletes gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg <= 0.10.10 provided by gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg-0.10.10-0.i686
Solution 1: replacement of gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg-0.10.10-0.i686 with multimedia-1.1-1.i586
Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing multimedia > 1.0-2
Selecting an option manually is no good, I need the update to happen without user interaction.

I'm trying to make a huge installation of applications on linux, (Red Hat), but without internet, i mean, i will have to download rpm's one by one and install them, the problem is that i've tried and is terrible, it always shows conflicts within versions, dependencies of dependencies, etc etc...
Is there any kind of tip to get this working? any kind of command that shows me the real dependencies that should be installed (with the right versions, etc) without conflicts? I've tried the following:

rpm -qR package

I have recently installed ubuntu 10.04 on my five year old desktop. Unfortunately, the official linux driver for my ATI X1600 card doesn't seem to support this ubuntu. There's an open source driver running now, but 3D applications run much slower than originally under windows. (which I can't seem to install on my sata raid harddisk anymore)
It's even so slow that I can't use those 3D applications anymore. I came to the conclusion that my computer is just too old for such a modern system as ubuntu 10.04. So I started looking for another version of linux. I tried the Linux Distribution Chooser, it pointed me at OpenSUSE 11.2. But I don't know, this program still looks kind of new. Too new for my computer.
I think that my computer needs an older version of linux, so that all the hardware will work properly. So I'd like to know if there's an older version of ubuntu/linux that still supports my hardware.
My computer was assembled from the following parts:
- DVDI LiteOn 16x/48x IDE bulk
- RAM 512 MB DDR/400 PC3200 ValueSelect
- HDDI 200GB 7200 Maxtor 6B200M0 8MB/SATA
- MB MSI k8T Neo2-F Athlon 64/939/DDR
- CPU AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0Ghz/so939 BOX
- X GRA Sapphire R9600XT TV/DVI 256MB L-re
Does anyone know any distributions that fit this hardware? Some older versions of ubuntu perhaps? Something that allows me to install drivers that make 3D applications run a t normal speed? If someone knows about a Distribution Chooser that takes hardware into account, I'd also like to know.

Earlier today I created a bootable USB stick by executing a script file that came with the distro for that purpose and experienced no problems. Later on, I tried exactly the same thing but using a SD card via a USB adaptor and it didn't work. Is there some difference in geometry between these two media types that could cause this problem?

I have an CentOS 5.4 install with several swap partitions of 2048Mb each (someone suggested to me the OS would run better like this?). But, I have a few other partitions and I'm sick of having so many to check and monitor. Also, having set up another machine with only one swap partition, I am not finding it running any better/faster.How do I go about deleting all the swap partitions and making a new one (to fill the exact same space as ALL of the old ones)?

/etc is where your gnu/linux stores it's configuration. Its function is similar to the Windoze registry. As you install, uninstall, and work with various programs, /etc changes. Sometimes, things change that make your system act unexpectedly.
1) open a console
2) su enter root password
3) # mkdir /var/backup
4) # vim /usr/sbin/prep4change replace "vim" with text editor of your choice
5) cut and paste the following short script
[code]....
Next time you are about to install, remove, or change something, just issue prep4change as root. If the unthinkable ( but expected ) should happen, and things stop working correctly, you have your /etc and /boot already backed up. Your backup will be located in /var/backup You can also $ tail /var/backup/notes to see why you made what backup Again, this isn't the most elegant, but it's simple, and it works!

I am just entering the Linux world. All these years I wanted to test Linux but did not have the resources to make a new computer. Then I found Puppy Linux by chance. Nearly all the work I do with Windows 7/XP can be done with Puppy Linux. I am running it from a CD. I developed a smartfont for an Indic language called Sinhala, which uses ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1, SBCS) character set.It makes typing Sinhala, one of the more complex of Indic scripts, easy.
Essentially, this is a transliteration of the 'complex' script into Latin character set and then showing it back in the native script by way of the smartfont. See it here: [URL] Of course, you have no clue what it says. If you copy the text and look, you'll understand what is going on. You can type it with the dead-key keyboard. Only problem is that in certain situations, the font makes conjoint letters where you don't want them. You can prevent it by inserting the ZWNJ, Zero-width non-joiner (u200C), but the keyboard does not have it. Is there a way to edit the keyboard layout and make a modified key layout?

I just finished making a clone image on my XP Pro HD and am now ready to install Ubuntu 10.04. Are there any scripts available that will install software that will add more functionality to my new Ubuntu installation? I installed 10.04 on a Dell Desktop circa 2003 with an 80GB HD and 512MB of RAM. Looking forward to using it!! Is this latest Ubuntu release better than XP Pro overall?

On a 64 bit CentOS host I am using script make_chroot_jail.sh to put a user in a jail, not permitting it to see anything expect it's home at /home/jail/home/user1.
I did it typing this:
After, when trying to connect to user1 first i was getting an error like:
I have fixed this by copying some missed libraries:
But now, when trying to connect to user1 typing su user1 and then typing it's password, i am getting this error: could not open session
So the question is how to connect to user1 in this situation?
Here are the permissions of some files, this might be helpful in order to provide a solution:
After some modifications i managed to connect to user1, but the session closes immediately! I guess this a PAM issue, however cant find a way to fix it.
Here the log entry for close action from /val/log/secure:
What makes the session to exit immediately after launching?

I created a small script in order to find out whether a host on the network is up or not ( as root). Made the script executable Code: chmod 711 script But now there is a problem , root can execute the script no probz but when it comes to a normal user who has only x permission on it can execute the script . When I add read permission Code: chmod 715 script the normal user is able to execute the script. But what if I dont want the source to be disclosed and still want only the script to be executable?

One thing that I didnt like about gnome is the huge gtk+ interface and controls. Everything is so large.
Is it by design? Or I can make the overall interface smaller by some tweaking? If so then how? This question arose while I was using eclipse in fedora gnome.

I'm trying to execute X server (automatically), which will not bind to 0.0.0.0 (port 6000) - meaning X server will not listen on generic interface. If it's possible, I'd prefer X server not to listen at all (and communicate through other IPC if needed), is there a way to make it not listening at all? -nolisten flag or something like that? (and do it automatically, every reboot). Also, Is there a way to make X server bind to 127.0.0.1(localhost) instead of 0.0.0.0(generic interface)? It should be in one of the configuration files or the start-up command to run X.

One of my computers is a netbook with no CD drive, so I need to create a bootable USB stick so I can reload a Clonezilla-made backup image from an external HD on to the netbook.I bought a 4Gb thumb drive and used Parted Magic to create a 200Mb partition on it. I formatted this and the remaining free space both as FAT32 and used Parted Magic to flag the small partition as bootable. Then I loaded the Clonezilla Live files onto this boot partition.Now the thumb drive boots up ok, but goes straight into a Parted Magic menu screen from which there is no way out! It's just the menu screen alone and has no PM functionality. This also happens on other systems where there is no PM installed or in the CD drive. So it must be something PM has done to the thumb drive.
