Help! - part 2
by Michael Long June 22, 2003

June 22, 2003

I have now been able to boot the system using another drive. The original boot drive (hda7) can be mounted successfully with the following fstab configuration: /dev/hda7 /data2 reiserfs noauto,user 0 0 When reiserfsck /data2 is run I get the following messages: reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16 reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 2 reiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs format found on /data2 reiserfsck: --rebuild-sb may restore reiserfs super block What are the ramifications of running this? Is this something that can cause the data on the disk to be lost? Thanks for any help, Mike

Help! System booting as readonly
by Michael Long June 21, 2003

June 21, 2003

While away on business I lost the ability to ssh into my computer. I had my wife ping it from within the home network and she was unable to. After walking her through some ifconfig diagnostics (she is a technically challanged individual) I next had her reboot the box in the hope that it would "fix" the problem. It did not solve the problem. Now that I am home I see that it is mounting the drives as readonly. The following is a partial listing of the dmesg: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed Unmounting old root clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6005: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6005: writing inode 927 on readonly FS How do I go about diagnosing and fixing this problem? Thanks, Mike

Hi Andy: I am interested in further details on the Linux Sysadmin position. I have Sysadm experience on Solaris and AIX systems and would like to move to Linux. I am the newbie at the May and June WLUG meetings. The silent guy.

REMINDER: Meeting on Wednesday, June 18th
by Andy Stewart June 18, 2003

June 18, 2003

Hi everybody, The next WLUG meeting will be on Wednesday, June 18th in a different place. This time, we're in Olin Hall room 107 (the big lecture hall on the left on the first floor of Olin Hall). More detailed directions are available on the WLUG website. The meeting time is the usual 7:00 PM. A couple of people had mentioned an interest in addressing WLUG, but I currently don't have a definite commitment for a speaker for this meeting. I would therefore llke to use this as a planning meeting to decide what activities the group would like to pursue over the next few months. Perhaps these folks would like to make a commitment for a future WLUG meeting (if so, please contact me directly). I'll bring some light refreshments. If there are enough of us, we'll go to the Boynton Restaurant afterwards for pizza/beer. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Is it a kind of problem which caused by openssl upgrade ? How can I solve this ? In fact, I get a slow connection too when accessing local mail using browser. I can send and receive mail fast using outlook. Thanks.

whois question
by Gregory Avedissian June 14, 2003

June 14, 2003

Is there a way to do a whois search for a registrants name, and get all the domains registered in that name? I checked the RIPE help file (whois -h whois.ripe.net HELP), but I don't understand it. I figure there's some way to do an inverse search with the -i switch, but it's not doing what I want it to do. Thanks. Greg

TightVnc

Well, I may be a total goober here and everyone else knows this, but if you use VNC try switching to TightVNC (www.tightvnc.org) ... I just upgraded my client & server from the AT&T implementation, and the performance gain I got is incredible. -Marc

Upcoming WLUG meeting - topics?
by Andy Stewart June 14, 2003

June 14, 2003

Hi Everybody, We have a WLUG meeting coming up on Wednesday, June 18th, and I have neither a topic nor a speaker lined up for this meeting. While I'm at it, we should probably plan for the July and August meetings as well. The July meeting will be the 6th(!) anniversary of the formation of WLUG, and we should probably celebrate in some way. I'm looking for volunteer speakers for the next few meetings. Please let me know if you would be interested in this opportunity. (That's the cue for everyone to raise their hands!). Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

CD/DVD-ROM question
by Gregory Avedissian June 13, 2003

June 13, 2003

I just noticed that my boot message tells me that my CD-ROM and CDRW drives are also DVD-ROM. I wasn't aware that either of them had that capability when I bought them. All those spam messages about reading DVD from my CD-ROM went in the trash without being read, so now I'm wondering. Is it possible to read a DVD on a CD drive? If so, how? If not, why does the boot message say that? Thanks. Greg
