  3. sftp not working properly [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted

    When I get that message I have deleted the rsa key for a machine I cant connect to in /home/username/.ssh/known_hosts and was able to connect after that.

    I've made sure that the sshd service is running by typing this in konsole as su: "service sshd start".
    Be sure that sshd is running on all machines you want to connect to.

  5. Where can Linux lead you in life?

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    I am a Comptia® Linux+ Certified Professional. I took the and passed the exam on 12/14/02 and I have been studying off and on since with the intention of taking the LPIC 101 exams. They are a bit more difficult than the Linux+ it seems. The Linux+ is for someone with about 6 months experience (that's every day/all day on the job use). If you have a year or more daily experience with Linux, the Linux+ is easy, if you study specifically for that exam. With LPIC, you should have about 2-3 years of daily experience to pass both exams.

    Look in .kde/share/config/KWeatherServicerc:

    [WEATHERSTATIONS]
stations=EGHI

    Also look in .kde/share/config/weather_panelappletrc in your /home directory.

    It should looks like this:

    [General Options]
log_file_name=
logging=false
report_location=EGHI
reportview_size=450,325
smallview_mode=1

    ( I added your code in there.)

  13. SATA install.... again

    in Installing Mandriva

    Just this: if I decided to format the drives later, I can leave fstab alone.

    Yes, of course they hold data. I access these drives on a daily basis. sda1 holds iso images and the other holds my personal data.

    It's whatever version of reiserfs that came with 2005le, so I'm certain it's not ver 4.

  14. SATA install.... again

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted · Edited by lynchmob

    I used the "noapic" boot option to get Mandriva installed on my Via-based system because it would hang during install where the sata controller drivers were being loaded. I have two sata hard drives I use for storage, with Linux on a pata drive.This is what I did after an upgrade to 2006 rc1 caused me to lose the sata drives:

    After making the appropriate entries in /etc/fstab:

    /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1

    /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2

    /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0

    /dev/sda1 /mnt/data1 auto user,noauto 0 0

    /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data2 auto user,noauto 0 0

    none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0

    none /proc proc defaults 0 0

    /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

    ...and creating the mount points:

    mkdir /mnt/data1
mkdir /mnt/data2

    I got my sata drives recognised by adding this:

    /etc/init.d/harddrake restart
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mknod /dev/sdb1 b 16 1
mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/data1
mount -t reiserfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data2

    These two sata drives were recognized, configured and running fine after installing 2005le. When I upgraded to 2006 rc1, I had to do the above.

    When I did a clean install of the Christmas Club release, it all worked out of the box.

    On my AMD64 system, my only hard drive is a sata 40GB Seagate. It's an nforce3-based board and I had no problems with it. 2006 x86-64 worked out of the box, as well.

  17. X server randomly restarts, kicks me back to login screen.

    in Software

    Posted

    These are home-built: I have been running one for about 4 years and the other about 1 year. They never displayed this problem until after I installed MDV 2006 Christmas Club edition. All other versions of Linux that I have run on these 2 systems ran fine. The problem with solving this is that it may only happen every 2 weeks or 1 week and everything is good in the interim.

    Thanks for the suggestions but I think it is a kde/kdm or x thing specific to this version of MDV. If you think of anything else, I'm all ears. :)

    I'm going to try the updated kde and xorg packages next.

  18. X server randomly restarts, kicks me back to login screen.

    in Software

    Posted

    I have 2 systems running the Christmas club ed.. Both systems are running 24/7 for my distributed computing software, Rosetta@Home.

    I leave them logged off until I need to use the system and for most of the time, there are no issues. But when I login and kde starts, it will hang briefly during the " Initializing Peripherals" part and then restart x and kick me back to the kdm login screen. A cold reboot fixes this and will go for weeks before it happens again.

    This happens randomly and only when I try to login and use my kde desktop.

    I have'nt had time to really dig in and find what's causing this( though I suspect it's a kde thing) and wondered if this was a common problem?

  22. Mandriva won't install Brother hl1240 [solved]

    in Hardware

    Posted · Edited by lynchmob

    Version is Mandriva 2006 Christmas Club ed. This laser printer has worked without issue under Mandriva for years but has now become impossible to get working since I did a new install of lastest ed.

    I think it may be MCC's printerdrake module because it loads sometimes and other times it freezes up and nothing but killing the process will return things to normal. When printerdrake does load and I go through the steps ( I know them by heart; they have'nt changed much over the years) the result is the same. It reads like it worked but still no printer.

    When I run it in Expert mode the result is the same.

    When I start it from the CLI, I get this:

    lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable
lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable
lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin/foomatic-configure line 1395.
lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable
lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable

    This is what line 1395 in /usr/bin/foomatic-configure says

    if ($defaultstr =~ m!\S+:\s+(\S+)$!) {

    I also tried the CUPS admin tool at localhost:631 but that didnt even have my printer.

    TIA for any help

  25. Network Install Mandriva 2006

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    "sk98lin" driver included in the current kernel is broken (I know it, because I do have the very same card on my laptop).

    The only working solution is doing a minimal installation from whatever media you can afford, and re-compiling the NIC driver using the files from the Marvell web site.

    It worked for me (for Mandriva, Arch Linux, and the latest Kanotix release candidate).

    Got a link for that site?

    Thanks.
