  3. Kernel-desktop does not recognize 4Gb RAM

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted

    Something weird. I now have a total of 4 GB RAM on my system, but only 3.2 GB are recognized. I tried installing kernel-server-latest and after booting into it, I still can only see 3.2 GB RAM (exactly the same amount). I don't have onboard video, and my 8600 GT should have more than enough memory.

     

    Wondering what the hell could be the cause of this. I've checked my BIOS for settings in relation to this, but to no avail.

  7. Can't use private key for ssh [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by T0ken

    I just started working at a NOC and we have a private key for ssh that we use on all our servers. All the techs are able to ssh as root to all the servers using this private key.

     

    I'm the only tech using Mandriva, and I'm also the only tech who is unable to ssh to a machine without being asked for a password.

     

    What I did was:

     

    ssh-add [path to key file]

     

    When I did that, the message returned was:

     

    Identity added: [key file]

     

    Now, in theory, I should be able to ssh to any machine without being asked for a password. However, this is what I get when I try to ssh to a machine:

     

    The authenticity of host '[x.x.x.x]:port ([x.x.x.x]:port)' can't be established.

RSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

     

    What am I missing?

     

    Here are the options in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config file:

     

    Host *

ForwardX11 yes
Protocol 2,1

# If this option is set to yes then remote X11 clients will have full access
# to the original X11 display. As virtually no X11 client supports the untrusted
# mode correctly we set this to yes.

ForwardX11Trusted yes

# Send locale-related environment variables
#SendEnv LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES
#SendEnv LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT
#SendEnv LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL

GSSAPIAuthentication yes

  9. DHCP server on CentOS 5.3 [solved]

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    I'm having a weird issue with my dhcp server on my CentOS box. It appears to be setup correctly (I'm using webmin 1.470) and I really can't figure out what is causing the problem.

     

    Whenever a client uses my Cent box for DHCP, it'll get an IP address, a hostname, DNS servers, etc., but it WILL NOT connect to the internet for some reason. I can ping the other machines on my network, but I cannot resolve hostnames whatsoever (not from the DNS on my cent box nor from 4.2.2.1).

     

    Now, this leads me to believe that it's a DNS issue, but there are no problems with my BIND server. To confirm this, I disabled DHCP on my Cent box and enabled DHCP on my router. If clients on the network get their DHCP information FROM THE ROUTER, everything works, INCLUDING resolving names using my internal BIND server...

     

    What setting in my DHCP server could be causing this mess? Any ideas?

  12. New install, can't KDE & X server to start

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    After installing Mandriva, I'm unable to get into the desktop environment. After booting, it took me to the black login screen (not the kde login screen). Here, when I run "startx," it gives the following:

    (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found
.
.
.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

     

    Any ideas?

  13. ntpd

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by T0ken

    What is the command to allow ntpd to broadcast to other clients on the network? I looked in the config file and read the manual but can't really figure out how to set this up...

     

    EDIT - I got it to work, thanks

  15. FTP server issue...

    in Networking

    Posted

    Let me explain my home setup. I have a desktop running Mandriva 2009.1 RC1, a laptop running Mandriva 2009.1 RC1, and a server running Mandriva 2009.0 with no GUI, only webmin installed to administer the services.

     

    Anyways, everytime I want to FTP to my server, I'm able to get connected, but it doesn't allow me to see any folders. For example, I log in with the username "andre", and it takes me to the home folder of the user "andre," but I can't view any folders within that folder.

     

    Only after ssh'ing into the server and running the following, am I able to view the folders under /home/andre:

    chmod -R 777 /home/andre

     

    And the thing is, I have to do this EVERYTIME I ftp to the server, in order to view the folders. Any ideas on why this is happening?

  18. Root partition full, can't figure out why

    in Cooker

    Posted

    Something weird happened last night on my desktop PC. I can't remember exactly what it was that I was doing, but I think I was trying to user krdc to connect to a server I setup here. Out of nowhere, the screen locked up and went black except for my conky instance I had running (this usually happens when I'm shutting down or rebooting, but here the PC froze).

     

    So I then tried to reboot. The boot fails with a few errors: 

    Mounting local filesystems:  can't create lock file /etc/mtab~1451:  No space left on device (use -n flag to override)  [FAILED]

INIT:  Entering runlevel:  5
Entering non-interactive startup
/etc/rc.d/rc:  line 73:  /var/run/runlevel.dir:  No space left on device
Cannot create temporary file !
Cannot create temporary file !
Cannot create temporary file !
Cannot create temporary file !

     

    So what I did was burn a One 2009.1 beta CD and loaded it up. I mount the / partition so I can check it out and see why it's all of a sudden full. When I right-click on the folder representing the mounted / partition and select properties, it shows only about 939 MB being used, but "device usage" at the bottom is "0 B free of 4.3 GB (100% used)." How can this be?

     

    I've also checked each folder in the mounted / partition, and together they all seem to total approx. 928 MB. I cannot, for some reason check the "/root" folder in the mounted partition though. Maybe it's all in there? I don't know, but maybe you guys have some ideas on what could be causing this?

     

    Let me say that, I'm using LVM across two SATA drives on this install, and I should easily be able to just increase the size of the root partition. But when I try to resize the partition, it tells me all data on the partition will be erased. Is this because LVM support is not available on the One CDs?

  20. Flash problem in Firefox

    in Software

    Posted

    Hey guys, thanks for the replies. But as I stated in my original post, "all previous flash installations were removed before I installed flash 10." This includes libflashsupport.

     

    But just to be certain, I ran the command 'urpme libflashsupport' and got 'unknown package: libflashsupport.' So it's definitely not installed. Might I be missing some files that must be manually removed??

     

    I will try updating to Flash 10 rc15 and report back what happens. Thanks again for the help!

  21. Flash problem in Firefox

    Posted · Edited by T0ken

    OK, it appears this problem is fixed.

     

    Apparently all I needed to do was enable "smooth scrolling" inside firefox. Seems kinda weird, but it works, so I'll take it.

     

     

    EDIT

     

    Wow, nevermind, problem still exists

  23. Flash problem in Firefox

    in Software

    Posted

    Thanks for the reply! I've tried refreshing, and it will work again for a good 15 seconds to a minute, then it will go blank again.

     

    The weirdest thing to me is that I had no problems when I was running Gnome, so I'm assuming there's something I'm missing w/KDE 4.1.3

  24. Flash problem in Firefox

    in Software

    Posted · Edited by T0ken

    I have two installations of Mandriva One 2009 KDE that this is happening on. I never had a problem when I installed with Gnome.

     

    This is with:

    Mandriva One 2009

    KDE 4.1.3

    Firefox 3.0.4

    Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12

    all other flash installations were removed prior to installing ver. 10

     

    Here are screenshots of what actually happens. This website is just an example, this issue is seen on ALL websites that use flash. At first, when I got to a site using the flash plugin, it appears to work fine with no issue:

    flashissue1.jpeg

     

    After an amount of time (usually 15-30 seconds) the flash object goes "blank", as seen here. Even the ad using flash to the left of the player is blank:

    flashissue2.jpeg

     

     

    Anyone else having this problem? Again, I haven't seen it while using Gnome, and also I have Opera installed and Flash works fine through it.

  25. Mandriva One 2009 boot options

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Some of you may remember this issue I had: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=73234

     

    Right now, I'm trying to install Mandriva One 2009 (instead of the free version as in the thread linked above) and I've come across the same problem. I know how to fix the problem, I just don't know if I can do so before the Live CD boots.

     

    My question is, is there a boot option that either:

     

    a) forces the use of the Xorg vesa driver

    b) boots into a text mode without loading X Server at all (similar to how the boot option "linux init=3" worked for these users back in 2006 http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=50402&)
