I have few rpm's (proprietary) , I need to give yum group install <group name> and it has to install in a defined order rather going about the rpm's and their dependencies, for example,
Say below is my group install configuration,
For example . what do I require if I wish to have webalizer installed first --> tux second -->> httpd next , customizing group install -package install order like setting customizing the priority,
Is this something that can be achieved by editing/adding in comps.xml or is it something thats set in rpm's when they are build
I have BT4 as an iso image and start it up by booting from cd, when i try the command root@bt~:startx it comes up with this fatal error. what can i do to get this work? and of course im new at this.
If there are e.g. multiple repositories with the same prio, which contain different versions of an RPM. What happens if an install is made and a particular package has a dependency, where no version is specified? Would all repositories of the same pri be searched and the newest RPM version be installed. OR Would simply once the RPM is found in one of those pri's simply be taken and no further searching made. So summarized when all repositories are the same priority, is the first found RPM taken or the RPM with the latest version?
So I'm brand new to lunix os. I wanted to install xubuntu on a old sony viao laptop so I downloaded the live cd and tried to boot from it. I have changed the boot priority and I can here the cd drive spinning but nothing happens. Also I tried the second option on the installer (install it inside of windows) but I got an error saying I don't have permission.I've also gotten an error saying it cant find the disk but the disk shows up and I can open up/start installation. And I am the admin on the computer. Heres some computers specsWindows xp service pack 31gb of ramIntel Pentium processor 2.4ghz
YaST2 -> Package -> All Packages -> Update if Newer Available that YaST would install the most current in the highest priority repository. Given the example data below, I thought package A, version 01, which is currently installed from repository abc, would be updated to version 02 from repository xyz.
How do you get YaST to update packages from the highest priority repository?
Code: Sample Data: Repository: xyz package A Ver:02 priority:50 Repository: abc package A installed Ver:01 priority:99
How can I create a user group that restricts Internet privileges to only members in the group, then I will assigns certain applications to join the group for access to the Internet.
For example, I want only group net to have access to the Internet. Group net is then connected to:
Code:
So far, I am using the gnome group policy manager that is standard with ubuntu but Its not working. It is possible that im misdirected and that I should use a firewall instead?
I have a text file that currently has around 150 000 usernames in it. I need to somehow group them into smaller groups of 1000 and then add that value into the DB. for example user xzy group 1 (hopefully the groups will be digits incrementing)
[Code]....
how to search for 1000 then assign them group 1 and then 1001-1999 to group 2 etc.
i want secondary users can able to change the files permissions of primary group?user MAC is having www as a primary and httpd as secondary group. But he want to change the file permissions (chmod) httpd group files. Is it possible or not? I think its not possible. If it`s possible then let me know how?
I've been tasked with fixing a Red Hat system that dies with a kernel panic during the boot stage:
Code:
EXT3-fserror (dev sda1): ext3_check_descriptors: Inode bitmap for group 4 not in group (block 67239937)! EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted! mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: Invalid argument
I can boot into a Rescue CD, but I'm a bit out of my element because I don't use EXT3 myself, and I've never had to repair a corrupted file system before.
I have a group (GROUP) with a number of users. I recently added a new user (NEW). NEW is able to read but not write group files, whereas all the other users in the group can read and write to the group files. The permissions for the group files indicate that all members of group should have write permission -rwxrwxr-x
/etc/group indicates that NEW is a member of GROUP ... GROUP:x:501:GROUP,OLD,OLD2,OLD3,OLD4,....,NEW
[code]....
Don't know if it matters, but both OLD and NEW write to the GROUP files over an internet connection. why NEW can't write to GROUP files? Is there a maximum number of members in a group that I might have exceeded?
Mount of filesystem failed. A maintenance shell will now be started CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and retry. groups: cannot find name for group ID 0 root@Sergioc-desktop:"#
I need to create a group that has the same permissions as the users group. Can I have the new group be a member of the "users" group to inherit its permissions?
I have a number of users, categorised into various groups. I would like one of those groups ("developers") to be in the wheel group as well. I don't want to just copy the people from the developers group into wheel, because then when that group changes I'll have to change it in two places. Is there a way to specify that anyone in developers is in wheel, and have that be dynamic?
I am using Opensuse11 and i have created an lvm involving two disks /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. I have created a lvm volume group of 5 GB with the above 2 disks. The problem is it is unable to mount at boot time. It is giving the following error messages:-

I have a remote server running Fedore Core 11 - 32bit. On a new install, I installed webmin (control panel). Now every time I want to install something I get the same error message: root XXXXXX # yum groupinstall web server Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again.
I hunted down kdevelop4 through yast. I found it finally by entering "Integrated Development Environment" in the search text box, clicking "Description" only, and clicking Search. I'm backtracking now to figure out how to find it and other development tools/ide's quicker in the future.I clicked the Technical Data tab for kdevelop4 and in the details, "Package Group" shows "Development/Tools/IDE".In Yast, I then clicked on the "Package Groups" tab and searched on the left-hand side for "Development". But it's now there.
In OpenSuSE 10.3, when I viewed the Package Groups tree structure, there was a node, "Development" which contained kdevelop3. But I can't seem to find the "Development" Package Group in OpenSuSE 11.2.
A bit of an oddity that I've recently run into with my storage folder in my system; it's a newly installed drive that I've set to mount at /storage. When I first tried to use it, programs that I used that attempted to write to it tossed Access Denied errors at me in their own way. Checking the permissions (at the Terminal, ls -l / | grep storage) showed that /storage was set to 'rwxrwxr--'--Owner and Group were given full read/write/execute, but Others could only read. However, my logon to my system is a member of group root. Why, then, with the above bits set, would I not be able to write to it? Changing Others permissions to rwx (and presumably rw would have worked out for me since I don't leave anything executable there) allowed me to write to it, but I don't understand why that would have been necessary. So far as I'm aware, the prior drive that was in my system--mounted at the same location--did not need this treatment.
Is it possible to allow a group/user to execute a command, where one of the parameters of the command is a group as well? example that does not work as intended:
Code: Cmnd_alias SU=/bin/su -l %group1 This example works sortof, it treats the "%group1" literally. I know I can list out the "/bin/su -l <eachuser>", but as you can imagine that is impractical. In this example, I want people in group2(not shown for brevity sake) to be able to su to someone in group1
I need to ftp all of my Linux server files & folders through FTP Pro . But I can just login as /home/www user and I cannot login as super user that is suitable for my case (as I want to see all of the files) . how can I raise the priority of ftp such that FTP Pro can login to my Linux server as root user ?
I have installed Windows XP ,then Redhat but now when i am opening my system it automatically takes redhat . I want to change the priority to Windows XP . I want when I swich on the system it should open Windows Xp .. Is it possible to change this priority now .or I have to agin install redhat and change priority then during installation.
The normal user is now in the sudoers group. How can i allow it to install programs using it's own password rather than having to know the super-secret Root-Users password?
I am running on 11.2 and i have added some repositories, like Packman, KDE 4.4 Factory, KDE 4.4 Community.I would like to have this packages automatically updated which seems not to happen. If I look into software management every now and then, I always have to "switch system packages" to get the updates via the the updated applet.So I was wondering, if it could be due to a wrong priority for those repositories? Is a high or a low priority the point where the applet is looking from which repo to update? If not, what is this priority used for?
I'm having trouble with binding priority to certain program. I know how to use nice to start a program, how to use renice to change the priority of a running program, but how can I bind a priority to certain executable so that it always start at selected priority?
I can write a script to probe the process and renice it, but this doesn't seem to be efficient.
Code: # ps 22355 pts/3 00:00:00 bash # # ps -l 22355 F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 0 S 519 22355 22354 0 75 0 - 1338 wait4 pts/3 0:00 -bash # # ps -o pid,priority,command 22355 PID PRI COMMAND 22355 15 -bash #
Why are the priority values of the process different? What is the difference? Is the value 15 the "nice" priority? Then, what is the value 75? Please, explain the difference of each result.
I run a linux box as a gateway behind a satellite modem. The internet link over the satellite modem is only 1mbit so the usage often reaches 100% when someone is downloading/uploading something. I am seeing my ping return time jump from 700ms to 6000ms if someone tries to upload a file (by sending a attachment in a email etc). The satellite operator is saying this is normal, but I have my doubts.
Has ICMP got a lower priority? Should I really be seeing this behaviour? I understand that if it was a TCP packet then it would just be queued until the previous acknowledgement has been received. And if it was a UDP packet then it would have been dropped, but how does ICMP deal with these situations during heavy traffic?
