22 Jul '05

Has anyone seen this before? [root@shelob rpm]# yum update rpmdb: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 163, in main (log, errorlog, filelog, conf, cmds) = parseCmdArgs(args) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 75, in parseCmdArgs conf=yumconf(configfile=yumconffile) File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 155, in __init__ self.yumvar['releasever'] = self._getsysver() File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 285, in _getsysver idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', self.distroverpkg) TypeError: rpmdb open failed Trying to rebuild the rpm database results in a similar error. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is a remote system that isn't easy for me to get physical access to. 8-( Cheers, Chris

Re: Low RAM -- Security Appliance distros ...

From: User Lists <clopmz(a)yahoo.com> > Thak you for your responses. > I will use CentOS-3 as a firewall.. Nothing against CentOS as a firewall, but you might consider a distro that is more focused as a plop'n drop "security applicance" distro: http://www.ipcop.org 4-zone segmentation (WAN, DMZ, LAN, WLAN) Integrated real-time and statistical logging, Snort IDS, etc... PPPoA/PPPoE, VPN, IPSec, DHCP DDNS, Internal DNS, Squid Proxy server Unless you want to learn how all the components work. And even then, I'd edge you towards something like Gentoo. -- Bryan J.

Palm Pilot, USB, pppd and udev
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

I've a line like this that creates /dev/pilot link in my local udev rules: BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*[13579]", SYMLINK="pilot" And it seems to work fine for doing normal sync operation to Gnome Palm applet (well, not sure about that KERNEL parameter, however ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 look exactly the same, no other way to specify "use second device" as far as I can see). But, if I use the USB connection to connect to the network (using my Linux box as gateway by running "pppd auth -chap +pap login local ms-dns 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2 pilot" and doing SNAT) I've noticed that sometimes when I disconnect, the ttyUSB* devices are not removed by udev. When devices are removed, I'm getting something like this in my log files: kernel: visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 kernel: visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1 However, when devices are not removed, I'm getting a bit different message: kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 4 kernel: visor 2-1:1.0: device disconnected I've just started playing with my Palm under Linux, and so far I've only noticed this when using PPP over USB. So far when doing plain-old synchronzation (to gnome Palm applet) it seems that devices are always created and removed as expected. Has anybody else noticed this and/or has advice what to do? Thanks, Alex ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

system-config-display problem
by Casault, Benoit 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Had centos 4.1 set up and running with X. Had to replace the monitor to an Acer LCD monitor (model AL1714). When I try to reconfigure X, "system-config-display" seems ok going through the first stage of detecting the graphics card but then returns a floating "Input not supported" message to the screen and nothing happens afterward. Any hints on solving this issue will be greatly appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Benoit Casault Bedford Institute of Oceanography Tel:(902) 426-3843 Biological Oceanography Section Fax:(902) 426-9388 1 Challenger Drive e-mail: casaultb(a)mar.dfo-mpo.gc.ca Dartmouth, N.S.

From: Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)mattdm.org> > You sure about that? It's my understanding that the 4g/4g patch was > something that RH wanted to get into the mainline kernel but which > was never accepted, so they dropped it. Hmmm, maybe I haven't built from a stock kernel in a long time. ;-> All I know is that I've seen it in several other distros. I thought the whole purpose of the 4Gi/4Gi model was to give a support/performance point between the 1Gi/3Gi and full 64GiB model. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
