  rh9 to fedora, slight apt-get problem
Posted by: tek-69 - 2004-04-09, 05:25 PM - Forum: Fedora - Replies (3)


well i switched to fedora an so far so good but iwhen i ran apt-get update it was looking

at alot of rh9 sites, im guessing i need to tell it some new sites, how do i do this? after that

it gave me this problem



Code:
Fetched 1846kB in 11s (157kB/s)
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: There are multiple versions of "ntp" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^ntp$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems




 

how should i handle this?

any help would be greatly appreciated

  create your own apt-get repository
Posted by: hijinks - 2004-04-09, 03:23 PM - Forum: Updating Linux - Replies (1)


I got a request in #fedora on how do you create your own apt-get mirror. Well its actually very easy. This will just go over how to do the updates branch for fedora core1. I also use rsync since almost every offical mirror secrectly runs an rsync server. I use this so I can keep my 120+ servers here at work updated without using all the bandwidth during updates.I can download an update once then its on the lan and updates are quick.

 

This is my mirror.sh script i run in crontab nightly.

 



Code:
cd /mirror/apt/fedora/RPMS.updates/
rsync -az --delete  --exclude=*src.rpm rsync://mirror.hiwaay.net/fedora-linux-core-updates/1/i386/*.rpm ./
genbasedir --bloat --bz2only /mirror/apt/fedora updates




 

so i cd into the directory i want to store all the updates. You'll notice its called RPMS.updates this is just how apt works. If you look at your sources.list you'll see an entry like this

 

rpm [/url]http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386 os updates

 

so the os means RPMS.os and updates is RPM.updates

 

you can name them whatever you want.

 

Then the genbasedir is creating what is on the server so apt knows the the server has for it to download and such.

 

From there you can link it to your ftp or web site. Like mine is at [url=http://www.domain.com/mirror/apt/fedora]http://www.domain.com/mirror/apt/fedora

 

so i have a symlink that looks like /var/www/html/apt -> /mirror/apt/

 

then my sources file looks like

 



Code:
rpm http://www.domain.com mirror/apt/fedora os updates




 

as you can see i also did the os. So I made a RPMS.os and ran the genbasedir on that. You only need to do that once. Those are the rpms off the normal fedora core 1 cds

  Which version of Linux to use..?
Posted by: MrCoffee - 2004-04-09, 02:38 PM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (1)


Hi Everyone,

 

I am new to Linux, and currently run RedHat 9 on my notebook. At work we have several engineering stations on our network that suffer from pretty poor proformance under Windows 2k. The CAD appilcation was writing for Unix and Linux and uses a emulater to run under Windows. It pretty much destroyes the speed of the new systems I put in (P4 Dell 400SC). I have one extra system and I want to use it as a Linux Apps server for the enginnering department.

 

My question is, which distrution of Linux has the best fileserver/apps server. I want this server to rock, and it does pretty much running windows and win apps. As I have said I am running RH9, and I have a single P3 server operating as a FTP/Web server, and my notebook. They run great, but I was thinking that maybe when it comes to fileservers maybe SUsE or one of the others would work better.

 

Any info, advise, or opinions are welcomed.. :)

 

Thanks!

MrCoffee

  vi /etc/X11/XF86Config ????
Posted by: Yoda1977 - 2004-04-09, 01:19 AM - Forum: Xorg Problems - No Replies


hi im a linux noobie and i trying to get 1280x1024 resolution from my radeon 9800xt card so i go to "vi /etc/X11/XF86Config" and enter it into the string it worked the first time i rebooted then i switched back to 1024x768 to see how big the difference was but then my screen went crazy on me so i tried to go back to XF86 and i get this

 

E325: ATTENTION

Found a swap file by the name "/etc/X11/.XF86Config.swp"

owned by: root dated: Thu Apr 8 07:13:19 2004

file name: /etc/X11/XF86Config

modified: YES

user name: root host name: x1-6-00-40-f4-27-a9-5a

process ID: 6063

While opening file "/etc/X11/XF86Config"

dated: Thu Apr 8 08:29:35 2004

NEWER than swap file!

 

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.

If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two

different instances of the same file when making changes.

Quit, or continue with caution.

 

(2) An edit session for this file crashed.

If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /etc/X11/XF86Config"

to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").

If you did this already, delete the swap file "/etc/X11/.XF86Config.swp"

to avoid this message.

 

Swap file "/etc/X11/.XF86Config.swp" already exists!

 

and im wondering if this is wants causing me to NOT be able to get back to 1280X1024 res??? please help im in the #fedora room on efnet if anyone can help me thanks

:)

ACPI: Unable to set IRQ for PCI Interrupt Link [LNUS] (likely buggy ACPI BIOS). Aborting ACPI-based IRQ routing. Try pci=noacpi or acpi=off
 

With 'pci=noacpi' as kernel option, I still get the same error. Although acpi seems to work, because when I 'shutdown -h now' my servers' power is killed. When I add 'acpi=off' in the kernel option I get no errors on booting but on a 'shutdown -h now' I have to kill the power manually.

 

So, the thing is.. I dislike the error/warning of ACPI ... although it seems to work... I just feel the urge to fix it :)

sup guys,

I have a directory full of c files header files and whatnot. What i want to do is go into all the files

in the directory and change specific strings to other specific strings, all at once. should i be looking up

Thanks,
