Fedora :: Getting Information About Patches From The Command Line?

Nov 26, 2009

When I do System > Applications > Update System, it brings up a list of updates, and can tell me what each update is meant to fix (i.e. "fixes a bug in the flux capacitor so time travel works again (CVE-01234)"). How do I get similar info from the command line- I can't get it through yum, can I?

Fedora :: Build New Kernel With Patches?

Apr 25, 2011

I need to build a new kernel. I was directed toI tried following the instructions but I think I may have ended up with way more than I wanted. After just over 3 hours the build exhausted the 5.2GB I had available and fell over. The .config file used was nearly twice the size of the one I supplied. Why was it changed?I don't need an rpm.Are the patches supplied with the 2.6.38 sources required or nice to have?

Ubuntu :: How To Build 2.6.34 Amd64 Kernel With Load Balancing Patches For Lucid

May 20, 2010

This thread describes how to build a 2.6.34 kernel with load-balancing to cut down the number of load balancing wakeups. Running powertop on my amd64 PC shows that this kernel cuts down the number of wakeups by around 30%.

1. Open a gnome-terminal and get root privileges:

Code:

sudo -s

2. Install required packages for building the kernel:

Code:

apt-get install build-essential bin86 kernel-package libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev wget libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

3. Download the 2.6.34 kernel source file:

Code:

cd /usr/src
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...2.6.34.tar.bz2

4a. Download the diff file for the patch from [URL] and save as (eg) patch-load-balancing.diff. Move it to /usr/src once you have downloaded it.

5. Untar the source file:

Code:

cd /usr/src
tar xjf linux-2.6.34.tar.bz2

6. Link /usr/src/linux to the resulting folder:

Code:

cd /usr/src
# the folder linux may exist as a symlink from previously; if so, remove it
if [ -e linux ]; then rm linux; fi
ln -s linux-2.6.34 linux

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Kernel Patches 3038 And 3709 With Compat-wireless?

Feb 6, 2011

Just installed 11.3 on a older Dell Dimension 8200 with a D-Link DWA-160 N dual band USB card. The install went ok and the card works (seems a little slow right now but that is next on the list). However, when I run YOU I get the following conflict:

"compat-wireless-kmp-default-2.6.37_k2.6.34.0_12-17.1.i586 requires kernel (default:drivers_usb_core)=6faa2c62dac4f41d, but this requirement cannot be met. Uninstallable providers: kernel-default-base-2.6.34-12.3.i586[openSUSE-11.3 11.3-1.82]"

when the system wants to install patch:Kernel-3038.noarch and patch:Kernel-3709.noarch. I cannot seem to find a suitable provider for the default:drivers_usb_core. Is this something to address here or do I need to go to [URL]?

Hardware :: Collecting Information For Use In A Kernel Compile?

May 14, 2010

I would like to gather as much system information I can for my box so I can get a better understanding of what needs to be enabled in the kernel. Other than the lspci, lshw output, and knowledge of certain devices connected, does anyone have any other tips they could present me with? Unfortunately, I don't have access to the machine in interests manuals, and I know next to nothing about hardware.

Ubuntu Servers :: Adding HD That Already Has Information On It?

Sep 12, 2010

I'm trying to switch over my old server(9.10) data to a different server(10.04). My old server only had 2 drive bays, whereas my new one has 4. I already have my new server up and running(for the most part), and want to add the old hard drive to it. How would I do this without losing any information. I believe even my old drive is formatted to ext4. I was going to just throw it in there, but I'm afraid of losing information as I really don't want to lose a 1tb of info. I did try to search, but my title had too many common words in it.

OpenSUSE Install :: Manually Change Information On Every Kernel Upgrade

Jan 1, 2011

To run my other linux distros on another drive I have been manually entering the kernel and initrid info for each distro on the opensuse yast boot loader. For windows 7 it just runs the mbr on the drive windows 7 is on. However I can not get it to do that on the other linux drive. The problem for me is that on every kernel upgrade I have to manually change the info. I would rather have grub on the sdd linux disk take care of it on the upgrades. The drive that holds the other linux versions is sdd. Opensuse is on sdc.

Ubuntu Servers :: General Information On Scripting?

Mar 1, 2010

I am willing to learn. I purchased and am currently reading The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and I think I have found my first side project. First, the book said Ubuntu Server is pretty much coded with a scripting language called Python. I want to define the different init levels of my server. I want to define like init 5 to have a GUI interface, just for kicks. A GUI might come in handy when doing certain things in Ubuntu Server, I just don't know, simply because I've been working on the command line. So my first question is, do I need to learn Python to script in Ubuntu Server? I have very little experience coding let alone scripting. The book has example of Upstart scripts, but I was wondering if the language is Python?

So I guess my question is a general question to scripting If I were to focus my time in learning Python as well, would I be able to customize/utilize more of Ubuntu Server? I'm not exactly sure what to learn/read as well to this. I'm trying to broaden my horizons, and I've decided to experiment with Ubuntu Server.

Just wondering, what happens when you have multiple server softwares listening to the same port? will it be able to distinguish which service to use by the protocol information, or is it setting it up for failure?

IE: http and ssh both listening to port 80.

Fedora Servers :: Setting Up A FTP / P2P - Mount Point Information

Aug 19, 2011

I have just been gifted with a Linux dedicated server for the next six months, with an option to renew after that time has expired, and I'd like to set it up for FTP/P2P use. I do have some familiarity with Fedora from work, but only as a pre-installed desktop OS. The company providing the server has asked me to choose a OS, so of course I picked the one with which I already have some knowledge. They've also asked me to provide partition and mount point information, and it's here that I'm having some problems. I've spent most of my free time today reading everything I could about partitioning for a server, and I'm still not comfortable making this decision on my own.

The server comes with two drives - one 500GB and one 1TB, and 8GB RAM. My thinking is to use the 500GB drive for the OS, and the 1TB for media storage. I know I still have a good bit of learning to do, but I just want to get the blasted thing set up so I can get on with the hands-on part of figuring out how it works.

Ubuntu :: What's The Deal With Firefox Security Patches On 9.10

Jul 6, 2010

It's starting to feel like Ubuntu 9.10 users have been left out in the cold, or at least forced to fend for themselves. I'm referring to the publicly-known vulnerabilities present in Firefox 3.5.9 (the version currently in use by Ubuntu 9.10). Ubuntu 10.04 (which uses Firefox 3.6.x instead of 3.5.x) users received their package updates June 29th, yet Ubuntu 9.10 seems to have been placed on the back burner. So basically, my questions are: Does anyone know what's going on? What's taking so long? Has security support for Firefox been terminated for Ubuntu 9.10?

PS: I can sort of understand how Ubuntu isn't able to provide Firefox patches for Ubuntu 9.04, as it uses Firefox 3.0.x (which isn't supported upstream anymore) and the distro release is so close to EOL. But, surely Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't need to be treated the same way, given that the 3.5.x branch it uses is still supported upstream and the distro release won't reach EOL until Q2 2011.

Fedora :: Reset Yum To Re-install Patches?

Jan 29, 2010

Is there a way to reset the yum database so that it can go and re-apply the patches that have already been installed?

I have a Fedora 12 with the latest patches, and I managed to screw up some files or delete some files to the point where all I have now is the Fedora splash screen when I reboot.

I can get to single-user mode, and the thinking is that if I can get yum to ignore the latest patches that are already installed and pull down and re-install the latest patches, then whatever files that are corrupt or missing will be put back.
