Emergency rescue help needed
by Anne Wilson 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

Since repeated power cuts last week I've been a bit worried about the state of my server. Today it spontaneously rebooted - but failed to complete. Now it isn't recognising me as a user, by the look of it, so I've got some questions before I do something that might make things worse. I can boot as root, and it appears that all my files are present. System-config-user sees me as user 500, which is correct, so it must be my kde login that is trashed. Foolishly, I didn't install a second desktop system, so I can't deal with things there. While waiting for a reply I'm going to try to get essential files from my home directory onto an external disk (I did a huge backup yesterday of data files). I assume that the hdd is failing - but I haven't seen any messages from smartmontools. Is there any way I can check that? If it is I don't want to waste time trying to repair it. This is the information I gathered from /var/log/messages: shows a host of setroubleshoot messages, culminating in SELinux is preventing dovecot (dovecot_t) "append" to /var/log/mail/mail.info (sendmail_log_t). For complete SELinux messages run..... then syslogd 1.4.1:restart no reason given. Everything then continues as normal until suddenly EXT3-fs error (device sda7): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 638978 in dir #638977. Lots of 'Last message repeated' messages, and eventualy it shut down. I did allow fsk to run when I restarted the box. That doesn't seem a lot to go on. Any advice? Thanks Anne

Seamonkey and flash-plugin
by Charles E Campbell Jr 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

Hello! I like using Seamonkey; I have v1.1.13 on Centos. It works with flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386.rpm. On my home computer, I have Fedora Core 9; Seamonkey + flash-plugin used to work with the same version combination above. Unfortunately, I updated Seamonkey to v1.1.15, and every time I go to a site (ex. http://www.wtopnews.com/ ) that's a flash user, Seamonkey crashes. I'd use flashblock but attempts to download it ccomplain of a missing install script. I've tried the latest flash plugin and it crashes Seamonkey. I can use the latest flash plugin with firefox, however. Its been at least a month like that. So -- has anyone gotten 1.1.15 Seamonkey working with the latest flash plugin on Centos? I don't want to update Seamonkey on the Centos box if its not working. Regards, Chip Campbell -- someday I'll have a good signature, I'm sure of it...

I'm using a Smart-UPS 700, and replacing it would be expensive for a home system. My son-in-law has a Leibert on his system (which uses a lot more power than mine) and is happy with it, but hasn't had it so long, so I'm glad to get another opinion. > In the US we have a specialty battery retailer called "Batteries Plus" > that's a good source for replacement batteries.

I'll look around. I guess if they are selling 'standard' batteries they will have some way of making sure that what I buy is compatible. Another adventure :-) Anne

fcgi/suexec problem
by A. Kirillov 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

I have a number of vhosts configured with SuexecUserGroup to run the scripts with limited privileges and the dept. web-site on one of them. The problem is the webmaster can't read online context help which comes with the cms the site is using. Most help files (>2K) have *.php.html extension. *.php and *.html scripts both work as I suspect they should, but when it comes to *.php.html suexec starts complaining (most regular files are 0660 and the webmaster is a member of the group): directory is writable by others file is writable by others file has no execute permission and finally after fixing all the above /var/log/httpd/suexec.log: uid: (10003/web6_www) gid: (10006/10006) cmd: *.php.html /var/www/web6/log/error.log: Premature end of script headers: *.php.html Anybody has a clue how to fix this either in vhost config or any other way around?

30 Jan '09

hi, My volume group is vg. Inside that i have around 10 lvm partitions (each of 100GB). When I try to remove partitions using lvremove /dev/vg/lvm1 It acts like the machine freezes and after a long time the lvremove process gets killed saying "Killed" Whats wrong here. I don't see anything interesting in /var/log/message Thanks Paras.

I deleted the modes ahead of 1280x1024 and it's working. :-) I'd contemplated removing those modes, but better with your 2 cents! I believe that system-config-display works OK on my box (Dell Dimension 2400 with integrated Intel everything on the mobo), but that's my old box (now daughters) and it has an Nvidia video card, which I suspect is not supported well by system-config-display. I remember having this problem 2 or 3 years ago. Lanny
