ipv6
by Brian Densmore 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

I was wondering, would it be possible to run ipv6 on my local LAN? Could I run a mixed environment? That is to say have ipv6 on the LAN and have ipv6 and ipv4 on the firewall/gateway? Would ipv6 on the LAN provide the ability to further enhance security on my LAN PCs? Thanks, Brian Densmore

RE: Any recommendations for gui postgresql/mysql frontends?
by Garrett Goebel 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

There used to be a gui frontend for postgres called pgAccess. I don't believe it was kept with the mainline source, but it tracked it. Thank google... here it is: http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess/ No idea on MySQL. The only thing I remember about MySQL is its extensive list of gotchas: http://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html Not trying to start a flame war. But people do need to be aware of how MySQL differs from the generally assumed behaviours one expects from an RDBMS... -- Garrett Goebel IS Development Specialist ScriptPro Direct: 913.403.5261 5828 Reeds Road Main: 913.384.1008 Mission, KS 66202 Fax: 913.384.2180 www.scriptpro.com garrett at scriptpro dot com -----Original Message----- From: kclug-bounces(a)kclug.org [mailto:kclug-bounces@kclug.org] On Behalf Of Brian Densmore Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 1:18 PM To: KCLUG (E-mail) Subject: Any recommendations for gui postgresql/mysql frontends? I'm installing postgres and mysql on my home server and want to be able to access the db from other places on the LAN and perhaps from the intranet. I was wondering what people recommend for managing and accessing the db. I want to be able to add/manage users,passwords,tables from inside of a gui frontend. Also any notes on setting up for remote access would be appreciated.

strange mount issue
by Brian Densmore 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Ok, this morning I tried mounting a cd on my laptop. It told me only root can do that. So I logged in as root changed the /mnt/cdrom ownership to root.cdrom and also the /dev/hdb and /dev/cdrom. I am a member of disk and cdrom. I gave /mnt/cdrom 775 permissions. I don't think I changed the /dev permissions. I still can only mount as root. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to change the /dev permissions to 775? Thanks, Brian Densmore

funky error from hotplug?
by Brian Densmore 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

I have this strange behavior on two of my PCs. I have removed acpi from my systems, but something somewhere is still trying to run it. I get error messages dumped to the console as a result. Something about not being able to load acpi because the path or program doesn't exist. Anyone have any ideas on where I should look to remove this? Thanks, Brian Densmore

Re: Network cloning of raid array

I don't know if Ghost can do RAID systems. Go to Symantec's site and look. I have never used any of those tools to copy a RAID system. google site:symantec.com raid filesystem ghost Brian Kelsay >>> Brad <> 11/09/04 12:16PM >>> On Tue, 2004-11-09 at 11:25, djgoku wrote: > Could you just tar up the system boot to a live cd mount / and untar? > > For the reasons Brian Kelsay mentioned, I would rather use ghost than tar, but was hoping to not have to resort to ghost.

> -----Original Message----- > From: Steven Hildreth > > > If used properly Portage is very powerful and works > very well. > Therein lies the rub. It is not all that trivial to make it and keep it working properly. Especially if you go trying to run certain specific apps or when you have one app that gets removed from the portage list. I've had portage break on me several times, but maybe I'm loading unusual apps, or they've improved portage. Not that portage isn't a great package management utility. It's far far better than rpm. But you still have to compile everything. In the time it take you to run one portage, I can run a dozen apt-get update && apt-get upgrades, given equivalent systems and not off-loading the compiles to a compile-farm. Don't get me wrong, I like gentoo. I just think that debian is the easiest and most stable methods of running Linux and keeping it up to date. The only thing that would be better is tweaked debian the way SuSE, Mandrake and RH tweak the kernel and other code to run better. Most of those tweaks find their way back into the community, but not necessarily all. Brian D.

It would be more realistic to compare Portage > to up2date, urpmi, or YaST. Ok, if you want to get technical, then let me restate. Not that portage isn't a great package management utility. It's far far better than up2date, urpmi, YaST, or *any* other RPM-based package management system. But in the end, apt is still better and easier to use. The apt learning curve is much smaller than portage. Although I understand that BSD has what is considered the best. Of course this is all subjective (for the most part). You like gentoo and portage? More power to you. You like urpmi? Wonderful. I like apt. Here are my reasons: 1) It took a half hour to learn everything I need to know about apt to be expert and efficient at using it; 2) it took me less than an hour to make, test, debug, and install a debian package (it worked and installed and was recognized by dpkg and apt), complete with dependency handling; 3) it is robust enough to be able to fix broken installs without having to trash everything, so far; 4) it requires very little thought to install anything; 5) it doesn't require days to upgrade because everything needs to be compiled. Sure there are a few things that require a bit of work, such as installing a package not in the official lists. But simply adding the source information in a text configuration file for a non-authorized debian package and running 'apt-get update && apt-get install <custom package>' installs it, and afterward running 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' will handle updating all installed packages including the custom ones.

RE: Fedora Legacy Project

And why would anyone not want to upgrade to 9? Unless of course it's a hardware thing. I would think anyone running 7.2 should seriously think about upgrading to at least 7.3. Hell 7.2 is older than debian "stable". > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Hutchins > > FLP isn't supporting RH 7.2 or 8.0 any more, they recommend > that 7.2 users > upgrade to 7.3 and 8.0 users upgrade to 9. >

FLP isn't supporting RH 7.2 or 8.0 any more, they recommend that 7.2 users upgrade to 7.3 and 8.0 users upgrade to 9.
