I have done a basic installation for a server.And then I have removed the screen and the keyboard because I have no place for them so my server is blind.I manage the server from my laptop using NX.I am using the root user because I can't stop the server with a normal user.I have installed the nvidia driver with the one click method.
Now without the monitor, the video fan is very noisy.When I click on the nvidia X Server settings button I get this message :"You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."It seems that the driver does not load because it does not found any monitor.

Q: How can I allow my users to mount a cifs share without an entry in fstab in OpenSuse 11.4?
I have an answer myself. Until OpenSuse 11.2 I could mount my samba shares by making mount.cifs and umount.cifs setuid root. Today I installed OpenSuse 11.4. Unfortunately mount.cifs isn't anymore allowed to be setuid due to security concerns. Security is not an issue in my case, so I copied the mount.cifs and umount.cifs from 11.2 to make it work again:
1. Download cifs-mount-3.4.2-1.1.3.1.x86_64.rpm from this repository (I use 64 bit): "http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/" 2. Extract the files mount.cifs and umount.cifs from the rpm and copy them to /sbin 3. Make them setuid root:
Code: linux-y5qw:~ # chmod u+s /sbin/mount.cifs linux-y5qw:~ # chmod u+s /sbin/umount.cifs 4. Mount your cifs shares as a normal user:
I want to install Linux red hat 5 (x86_64) on HP ProLiant DL320 G3 server, to make it a logs server. Note: I know how to install the red hat on a normal PC but I am not trying on proliant server. I don't know if I need to use smart start CD before starting the installation or I need to UPGRADE BIOS/FIRMWARE COMPONENTS of server. this is my questions only.How I can starting to installing Linux on HP proliant server?
I want to make one Fedora 14 as server that have Date and Time as normal. Is there any to make other fedora 14 get Date and time from that Fedora 14 server
I am using vicidialnow 1.2 VERSION: 2.0.4-122 and BUILD: 81011-0855 (CEntos Based Dialer). In all the way, it is working fine. I want to give the access of command /usr/sbin/mtr to a Normal System USer, which is not working according to my wish. I have make the entry in as sudo or make the soft link of /usr/sbin/mtr to /bin. But all in vain. And i am not in the condition to give the root access to the user.
I would like to allow normal users to run some root scripts (e.g the sound subsytem [alsa]) in cases sound is stuck. What is the best way to allow this to happen in opensuse? There are many ways to do that (and I do not know how to use any of them ) and I am not sure which one is more suse all right.
I have no sound in normal profile but when I log in to the root account I DO have sound using say Banshee, kaffeine. In other words it is not a hardware malfunction or not detected. I am sure it has to do with some rights (permissions) for the peripherals that the user or profile may not have.
I have recently installed openSUSE 11.2 on a dell d620. When ever I boot to the default, X seems to freeze and linux crashes. I cannot even hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to the terminal shell.
When it happens, the windows in the bottom turn to a yellow tint color. The windows also become unreadable. The mouse seems to move. I can click the windows, but they are slow to respond and don't seem to correct themselves. When I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 is when the sytem becomes unresponsive and I have to power it off by holding the power button.
When I boot to Failsafe, this problem doesn't seem to occur. Is there a problem booting to Failsafe? What do I lose by doing this?
nVidia Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300 Gfxcard and installed the x11-video-nvidiaG02 and nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop packages for my 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop kernel.
Recently upgraded from OpenSuse 11.1 to 11.2 and although it didn't go smoothly the first time (computer hung), I was able to complete the install and start. I have added and updated the required repositories.
The following problems persist: 1. I can't shutdown normally. The black screen before shutdown shows something on the lines of 'segmentation fault'...and also 'cannot find fstab or mtab'. I have to restart into Failsafe mode which shuts down properly. 2. Amarok keeps crashing. It used to work fine in 11.1 and I think its one of the best media players out there so I am wondering why. I do have other players and I have used the debugging reporter option for Amarok.
I've installed on my workstation the opensuse 11.2! After the reboot when I enter the username/password, nothing occurs... On the other hand, it's running well with the failsave, why??
Just a little disappointed. I downloaded the 11.4 Gnome by about midnight, checked the CD for integrity,and started the Live CD, and it worked quite well. Installed it, but troubles started. OpenSuse 11.4 won't boot up in the normal mode, but would boot up in the safe mode only. I am now writing from the safe mode, but would like to boot up normally. It get stuck after the first verbose page. And not a move from there. The laptop is Lenovo T400, Core2Duo with 4GB RAM, screen 1440x900. No problem with any other distros up to now.
Using opensuse 11.1 64 bit with kde 4.1.3, apps like k3b, or any multimedia apps can not see the optical drives unless I run the apps as root. I also found that to run bladeenc, I have to do it in a root terminal. Is there a way to set permissions for the normal user? Firefox or any text editor work fine as normal user.
I have just installed VirtualBox on my OpenSuSE 11.1 and created my first VM (Windows XP) - and everything works just fine, but.... I can only run it as user root (if I remember correctly I could only install VirtualBox as root)Anybody know what I need to do so that I can run VirtualBox under a normal user account.
I am connecting servers using NFS4 the shared directories are on servers running Debian 4 while the one who read from them is Debian 5.0.3. The problem is one of these shared servers suddenly stop responding and you cannot list it from Debian 5 server, also df hang, and the web application that is using it does not respond to requests that use this shared directory since it is blocked. Then the load on the server start to increase until the server cannot respond (over 90). I have found many entries in the syslog that refer to this like:
ma25555 kernel: [1200285.732919] nfs: server 10.xxx.xxx.xxx not responding, still trying Dec 31 08:16:33 ma25555 kernel: [1200289.815378] INFO: task java:9702 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Dec 31 08:16:33 ma25555 kernel: [1200289.835249] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. code....
I have tried the connection between the 2 servers using ping for one day and all are OK (zero lost)
There are 3 other servers that are running Debian 4 and are working fine.
Because our visitors/customers are short term, and may be configured incorrectly with their own mail servers we automagically redirect all port 25 traffic going to internal IP's to our own mail servers while on our network.(postfix on centos 5.6)While I have taken some measures to prevent it from spamming, I would greatly appreciate some assistance.I will be putting in clamav, but I haven't configured it yet with the mail.I am using postfix, but can also put on procmail or even spam assassin
what cloud computing is and i think it can help me with some of my clients i want to switch my clients from a normal ubuntu server to a ubuntu cloud. as of right now i have to send out a bill to them and if they dont pay i have to shut down there service till they pay. what i would like to do is to have a cloud where i can sell them based on what they use not a set price like it is now. and have them be able to pay there bill on the cloud and if they miss the bill then the cloud can shut off there service till its payed.
i dont know if this is possible and i have looked everywhere and all i can find is info on other businesses billing and now how to set up a cloud to do this. i wish there was some kind of tutorial for this. if anyone can direct me to some good notes/tutorials that would be very helpful. this could be a big changing point in my business if i can do this. it would save a lot of time and cash.
My X server restarts as soon as I log in as a regular user. Root user has access. I can log in both root and normal user in terminal and over SSH. I tried rebuilding and installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver, as it builds it's own config file for X. I've had no previous problems with X on this system. The last major change to the system before the last log out was the installation of MCNP5. MCNP5 was installed under the regular user; no root privledges were needed.
I have set up an NFS server on Fedora 13, and I am connecting to it with Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 10.
On both clients the command
Code:
works fine. On Fedora I can get into the directory with Nautilus and have read/write permissions as specified in /etc/exports on the server, but on Ubuntu I can only get into it from a sudo'd command line.
The ownership of the file on Fedora is "nobody" and on Ubuntu it's "user #500", with only people in the "500" group having access to it.
Obviously the permissions can't be changed on the client, but with the Fedora box being able to read/write to it with no problems I'm not sure what else I can do on the server to let normal users on the Ubuntu box read it.
So I am (excitedly frustrated) 3-4 months from the first working install of my linux server. So I am setting up a team to work on the server, I have a couple questions. first what the server will do.The server will host icecast (internet broadcasting program similar to shoutcast), podcast versions of said shows, and a website.
1. Will icecast or similar interfere with normal hosting of the website (though they are coming from the same server I believe its broadcasted on different ports so I imagine not)
2. Should I use a seperate server to store the mp3's or is it ok to keep them where on the same machine ( I would like to keep them on the same machine, logicly I would think it would cut down on load time)
3. I am worried about server maintaince in the way of hackers n such as well as hardware and software, memory usuage, bandwidth is there a checklist and maybe a way to automate this.
I should clarify, I know how to tell schedule a task but what if I need it in perverbial safe mode (yay windows) and I can't be there for it to happen and when its finished return to work as usual by its self.
4. I was thinking my content (file) manager, server maintainer, and I would have access to wlan when we can't physically be there, is this safe? Can I make it safer? What about ftp for my webdesigners and podcasters?
5. I started having doubt about myself using linux (ubuntu server) because for cost saving I am sacrificing a gui as well as general knowledge. I have previously installed and got working a server in linux before but I don't know what hole I could have possibly left open. Question would it be better and easier to use someone else to host my site for me such as amazon or o-f.com or should I keep going with linux, or buy windows server?
Our mail server keeps on hanging after a while. This happened after there was a breakdown in electricity supply and the server room air conditioners stopped working for almost half a day. We are not sure whether this is a server hardware problem or a coincidence with a break-in attempt or malware activity.
Following are the message from the server log code...
I need to access sdc2 & sdc4 from SUSE, have shared the partitions already but i am unable to write data there. I checked permissions, it says only owner can change the permission. I need to get rw access for a normal user. Have chmod it already but it didnt work.
I am running 11.4 with KDE updated to 4.6.3 and suddenly I cant start Yast or Software Manager using kickoff. It doesn't even open the dialogue to ask for root password. I see Yast appear in the panel for 15 seconds or so then it just disappears without opening a window. If I open a terminal and su to root and run yast2 it work fine.
I have a problem with GUI under SuSE. As root I can enter but as normal user I can't. So the splash occurs I put user name and password but the system try to enter and later it comes back. I try from CLI, I make startx from command line, the same situation. Sometime the system informs me about a error (a temporary file from /tmp(.X0~ )I must remove, I did but next time it tells me that it can't load one module (it gives me a number).
I have been running 11.4 now for quite a while. I installed maintenance to it trough Yast's Online update and now can't boot except through the failsafe mode of GRUB. How can I pinpoint where the failure is?
