i have centos Linux server running with kernel version 2.6.18-164.el5 and release is CentOS release 5.4 (Final). The problem is when i connect external harddrive which is seaget free agent to this box, it doesnot detect . fdisk -l doesnot show any such partition.
View 3 RepliesI've searched around and found a lot of reports of people's FreeAgent drives randomly spinning down (and what to do about it), or for people who can see the drive but can't mount it. I have a different problem: I can't see the drive at all. I plug it in, andit makes a beeping noise for a while (think 'Defcon 4', but not as loud). Then, it stops, but nothing's happened. fdisk -l just shows my normal 4 partitions.I'm running Ubuntu (Karmic), and this is a 500 GB FreeAgent GO drive from Seagate (brand new, right out-of-the-box).

The external HD is detected and mounted automatically in Debian Lenny, Mint 7, openSUSE, Mandriva and even xp. However, no detection was found in Fedora 10.
In connection with this. May I please ask for help on how to check and understand why my Fedora partition failed to detect and mount the external HD?
I got some troubles with my external VGA output of a Notebook. I tried various things (see below) but now I ran out of ideas. I studied the sticky post in this forum about configuring graphics cards but unfortunately this gave me no new hints. My System:
Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E Series
OpenSuse 11.3 (i586, 32Bit)
Graphics: Intel 965GM
I found lots of questions and solutions concerning the 965GM but they all are just about configuring the VGA monitor/screen in Xorg.conf.d / xrandr. I'd LOVE to do so but in my case the VGA outout isn't even detected for some reason (please see details below) Summary of my findings up to now:

I have a 3 year old Seagate Freeagent 80Gb harddisk and after installing Opensuse 11.4 yesterday would like to copy my backup documents into the laptop. So I plugged in both power usb cables to the laptop and it seems to be detected by the OS, but being a newbie to linux I do not know how to read the contents of my drive which is formatted in NTFS. Is it because of the NTFS that's why the harddisk does not show up?
I did a quick google and here is what I get while trying to dig for more info:

I have a dual boot PC with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.1. The problem did start with Ubuntu 9.04. I think the problem started around the same time I added a Seagate FreeAgent USB hard drive for backups. The GRUB OS list will come up after the PC boots. I can select Vista and it will start w/o a problem. If I try to boot to Ubuntu the PC will restart itself. It may try and start Ubuntu MANY times until it eventually gets started. I have tried to repair the problem with no results so far. I have tried it with and without the Seagate device attached.

I have 1tb Seagate Freeagent NTFS External HD. I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 with dual boot as Ubuntu. I'm primarily a windows user, since i'm not that well acquainted with linux. External Hard Drive does not detect- when i connect it..it just gives a whirring sound and the "My Computer" window hangs. Figured out the cause- and temporary solution- The drive should do principle mount automatically. It won't if the file system is not "clean". That is possible if the drive was connected while you hibernated Windows, or if you did not properly disconnect the drive.
I booted with ubuntu and did the following-
sudo fdisk -l
and got the following:
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204884992 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x396e2b4d
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 121601 976760001 7 HPFS/NTFS
Then I typed:
sudo mkdir /media/FreeAgent
sudo chmod 777 /media/FreeAgent
And wrapped it up with editing fstab with the following code:
#FreeAgent USB Drive
/dev/sdf1 /media/FreeAgent ntfs defaults 0 0
Now the browser window for the freeagent hard drive pops up and I can access everything. I try to shutdown the computer but it won't as long as the hard disk is connected. So I have to pull the usb out. And the problem remains the same. I want the hard disk to be detected normally on my windows/linux (like normal usbs work-plug it in and it works). Also have no clue how to work a temporary solution like this with windows yet. I have boot with ubuntu everytime and repeat these steps when I want to access it.
Been using Ubuntu to extend the life of my hard drive. I'm not very familiar with the inner workings of Linux, but I know computers well.
My System:
- Ubuntu 10.04, gnome environment. Dual boot XP.
Problem:
- my external drive, WD essentials 2.2 TB, stopped working recently, about 6 months after installation of dual boot.
Facts:
- still detected, though SMART does not detect it.
- XP still detects it - cant access files though. *
- Ubuntu now detects a floppy drive, which I do not have.
- power still working.
- have tried a few different USB cables.
- happened around the time of several software updates. Maybe paranoia.
- had trouble with music playback.
Hypothesis:
- Drive is dying, cuz XP wont allow me in. *
- Something happened and it rolled back the drivers on the External HD.
- Somehow losing Voltage, though I dont know how. **
Have attempted:
- Disabling Floppy from bios.
- In Windows: disabling XP service pack 3, disabling Firewire 1394.
- Different USB cables. **
- Disconnecting all USB devices, except External HD. **
When I boot, the device I'm looking for shows up but it isn't detected inthe file system. I have two drives, a 500g and a 1Tb in a dual usb case.When I do sudo fdisk -l, I get:
Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes

I am reporting two problems that could be related to each other. They have something to do with USB devices upon passing through the ACPI S3 sleep-resume cycle. The hardware is Thinkpad T450s, with Debian 8 64-bit edition. Kernel is provided by either the stock linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 or Liquorix's linux-image-4.1-3.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 . For this case, it does not matter; the problem exists in both versions.
I have an external USB hub which has a USB keyboard receiver (for Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse combo) attached to the hub. I then usually attach this hub to the laptop.
FIRST: The main problem is that the USB hub was not going to be re-detected upon resumption from sleep. Here is the sequence of events, in brief:
* Laptop was resumed from S3 sleep
* USB hub was attached to the laptop (has external keyboard receiver attached to the hub)--both were detected & working properly
* Laptop was put to S3 sleep
* Laptop was resumed from S3 sleep, both hub and external keyboard were not detected, the syslog says "USB disconnect" to that particular device.
Note that during all the actions above, the laptop is running by external AC power.
SECOND: I also found that the USB hub, if inserted while the laptop was asleep (before resumed), it would not get detected. `lsusb` turns nothing for that device, as if nothing was inserted in the laptop's USB port.
THIRD: I did an experiment this way: instead of putting keyboard receiver on the hub, I attached it to the laptop directly. Hub is still attached elsewhere on the laptop as well. In this way, the keyboard receiver is not malfunctioning after resume. But I found out that the keyboard receiver is behaving funny after resumption. It went to a kind of "very low power" state a lot when idling (not receiving keystroke/mouse movement) for more than about 3 seconds. This causes the external keyboard response to be sluggish, since the receiver has to be turned on back to "active" state before able to responsively receive keystrokes properly again. And this causes a lot of lost keystrokes.
In the second case, the sequence of events are like this:
* Laptop was resumed from S3 sleep
* USB hub was attached to the laptop; it is working
* External keyboard receiver was attached to the laptop; it is working
* Laptop was put to S3 sleep
* Laptop was resumed from S3 sleep, the hub was not detected anymore; the syslog says "USB disconnect" to that particular device. The external keyboard was re-detected, but now is running in a funny power state described above.
These issues did not exist when I use a different laptop running Debian 7/oldstable (wheezy).
Here's the lsusb output before sleep (after the USB hub was attached the laptop):
Code: Select all ~ $ lsusb

Devices (045e:071d and 1a40:0101) were not detected again!
I included below excerpts of syslog to show the effect of sleep/resume to the USB devices. I munged it from the full syslog using this command:
Code: Select all grep -i -e usb -e "systemd.*(suspend|sleep|resum)" -e "pm:" syslog| killutf8 > syslog.usb-only
Syslog events (for FIRST case above):

I found several postings on the web similar to this, e.g. [URL] .... and see the references therein. But I don't think the problem is the same as mine. In particular, only external USB hub gives me problem like this (as well as the keyboard receiver, to a lesser extent)..
I just had a fresh install of Fedora 13 x86_64 on my notebook after using fedora 13 x32 for a while.I am using KDE Desktop.Everything seemed to be working fine out of the box except for minor problems with sound and plugins.The biggest issue is that Fedora does not recognize when I plug an external USB HDD (WD 320 GB for this matter).The USB light on the HDD does not go on, and nothing is auto mounted.It seems that USB does not work at all - I have tried to plug another USB device and it didn't seem to have power.

I've always used to connect it to my Ubuntu Server with the following command: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 ..and it's worked fine, but after a reboot I did a couple of times ago, the hard drive no longer appears.sudo fdisk -l doesn't show the hard drive anymore.

How do I tell php to send an email with mail() using an external mail server?
The situation: I've got apache/php running a webserver on my local machine. It's for dev purposes only, and the website files I'm using are checked out from our SVN. This lets me make changes to our website while not actually changing our website.
I've come across an issue I'm fixing where I need to verify that an email is successfully getting sent out, and unfortunately, this email is sent out using php's mail(), and not our website's usual $mail object. Unfortunately, I don't have the authority to change how this sends out right now, just when it sends out.
I've been running everything fine on my machine for a month now, and haven't needed the mail stuff until now. How do I tell php to send an email using an external server?
I have Seagate Freeagent Go 500GB external hard drive that I use for backup. I wanted to resize the partition so I used GParted to shrink the 500GB NTFS partition to 400GB. The other 100 I wanted to encrypt and use for some other more important files. For some reason, the shrink failed and I disconnected the hard drive and reconnected it. I didn't see the icon appear on the desktop. I went into the Disk Utility to discover that GParted's shrink error deleted all of the partitions on my hard drive. So I created a new 400GB NTFS partition and put back all of my files. The other 100 is unallocated currently.
It will normally mount automatically and show up on the desktop but the hard drive won't mount without me going into the Disk Utility and mounting it through there. I can't even mount it from the Terminal with root privileges. It gives me this:
Quote:
sudo mount /media/My Data
mount: can't find /media/My Data in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Now, I can unmount with root privileges and I can unmount it from the Disk Utility. I can browse and edit the files within. But I can't unmount it from within Nautilus or on the desktop (the Safely Remove Drive option is not there).
The new 400GB partition also isn't detected by GParted. It just shows the whole drive as unallocated.
My software and hardware information are as follows. I have Fedora 12 and KDE 4.4.5 installed on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. I believe it's a 64 bit processor; it's an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. The external monitor is a Dell as well.
My problem is that my system does not seem to be detecting an external monitor that I have connected. Everything else is working just fine; however, I would like to have the option of attaching an external monitor. When I plug the external monitor into the laptop, the external monitor remains black and appears to be in power save mode. The results of xrandr -q (with or without the external monitor attached: it doesn't appear to change) are as follows.
Code:
How can I get my laptop to recognize that the external monitor is even connected? Let me know if I can be more specific or provide additional details.

I have got a running mail server on CentOS5.4 Final using Zimbra free edition. . Assume that domain is organization.com.local And it is running fine with users created and bugzilla running on the same machine can send mails using this server. But it can obviously send messages to the internal users. There is this option to configure it to use external mail server to send mails outside the network but my external smtp server needs an authentication.Is it possible to configure it this way to use my external server to send mails from internal domain to say gmail?

I have installed a LAMP server with Postfix as mail server. The scripts send email as user www-data using the mail server on the same machine.
However, the email got rejected by external mail servers (failed reverse DNS check) so I setup a mail server that meets all needed requirements.
Now I would like to use this second server instead of the mail server on the LAMP server. I found that this could be done with changing sendmail settings in php.ini (I think).
However I am not sure how that will go: www-data is no actual user on the new email server (which requires authentication before sending). Do I need to create a new user on the email server or change the settings in php.ini to match an existing user?

I wanted to setup my server as a router/gateway just for educational purposes and also when it succeeded i will keep the gateway and place it on the front line right after my modem.

The GATEWAY/ROUTER will be doing the main work to act as a dhcp server and firewall.
Now my setup as it is now :
So now what i ment to do was :
Let the clients connect to the gateway via ETH1 and all the stuff being router to ETH0 which is the NIC that is connected to the internet.
But now i have two huge problems :
1. The DHCP configuration seems to be fine the client machines get their ip adresses and /etc/resolve.conf looks fine to. But somehow the GATEWAY/ROUTER wont let me use the specified external DNs server so i cant do anything on these machines.
2. The firewall script [url] at line 27 should be DROP but if i use this line of code the GATEWAY/ROUTER cannot use his dns server settings so when i try to browse the internet or ping a machine outside my local network it would came up with nothing.

smtp_never_send_ehlo = yes

I don't know why it doesn't receive response after HELO. In fact if I debug my mail server with gdb, I can see it sends a 250 response code. Moreover, I've tested my server both with traditional mail clients, as Thunderbird, and through telnet session and it works very well.
