[coLinux-users] RE: Getting CoLinux up & Running

[Crack, J. <jc...@yo...>]

Hi,

I think CoLinux is the best idea since sliced bread for those who want
to use linux
but don't want a dual boot or dedicated linux system.

However as a newcommer to the world of linux I'm finding it a little
hard to get things
up and running. I've installed/downloaded all the necessary bits but
double clicking on
colinux-daemon.exe doesn't do anything. HELP!?

Any chance of a tutorial or some form of step by step guide for new
commers?

Cheers,

Jason

Ok, crash.. a classic coding error at unexpected pointer to 0.  Sould

1) Report this error the devs, with info about your system. etc.. (will 
neeed a lot more info to gues WHAT is wrong or is not compatible (your 
system config vs colinux)).

2) Try other version.

If ALL versions crash, the problem is severe :P  but maybe the developers 
will provide you a more verbose version of colinux to have a much 
informativo log. If needed.

[coLinux-users] Colinux0-6-1 in windows2k

[Yonghao W. <yon...@ti...>]

Dear All,

=20

I am newbie to Colinux. I downloaded colinux 0.6.1 and installed it in
windows 2000 host. I downloaded Debian root filesystem
"Debian-3.0r0.ext3.1gb" and using "fsutil.exe" from XP to create swap
filesystem. I meet the following problems when I run colinux-daemon.

=20

1.	I must type "colinux-daemon -c colinux.default.xml". It seems
colinux-daemon cannot load default configuration script unless I use -c
filename.
2.	when I run the command line above it hangs on:

........

daemon: loading configuration from colinux.default.xml

=20

and it popup a windows error message:=20

=20

"The instruction at "0x0040af85" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
memory could not be "read".

......"

=20

Can anyone give me some clue of this? Any suggestion will be
appreciated.

Thank you

[coLinux-users] Strange memory allocation problem with PostgreSQL

[Vitaly B. <vi...@01...>]

Hello colinux-users,

  I am using CoLinux 0.6.1 with Debian distribution.
  Everything installed fine and I also installed PostgreSQL 7.4.2,
  which also installed fine.

  However, I have a problem running "pgsql", strangely it ran just
  fine the first time, but after that, it just refused to work. I get:

The database itself seems to operate just fine... And I imported data
to it and connected to it from another machine pgsql and another GUI
clients.

I gave CoLinux 128MB ram and 512MB swap file (which appears in
"free -m").. I can't possibly think what else it wants.

Sounds like we may be talking about the same thing.  The only 
difference is that I'm using Debian.  Here are the steps I took:

from within Windows ...
     * download or create a file with a bunch of zeros. I used one of 
the swap files and uncompressed it with 7-zip:
           o http://gniarf.nerim.net/colinux/swap/swap_64Mb.bz2
     * created a new root fs that has the zeros appended
           o copy /B root_fs + swap_64Mb root_fs.new
     * modified defaults.colinux.xml to have a device point to the new 
image
           o <block_device index="2" 
path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\root_fs.new" enabled="true" />
     * started colinux
from within colinux ...
     * checked current file system size
           o df
     * fsck'd the new filesystem
           o e2fsck -f /dev/cobd2
     * expanded the new filesystem
           o resize2fs -f /dev/cobd2
     * fsck'd the new filesystem
           o e2fsck -f /dev/cobd2
     * mounted new filesystem
           o mkdir /mnt/root_fs.new && mount /dev/cobd2 /mnt/root_fs.new
     * verified new size
           o df
     * exited colinux
from within windows ...
     * renamed root_fs to root_fs.bak
     * renamed root_fs.new to root_fs
     * modified defaults.colinux.xml to comment-out block_device #2
     * started colinux
from within colinux ...
     * verified expanded filesystem
           o df

For a wiki version, see "Expanding the root filesystem" towards the 
bottom of the page:

   http://cwelug.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?CoLinux

It seems to have worked for me, but YMMV.

Imho

the better way is to copy & paste the original gentoo image to a new one, 
then mount that clone (editing xml is need to add the new image), if you 
can move to the new image all from /usr and mount the image at /, BINGO!..

Its better to read the wiki about that, of course, and If you are unsure, 
  make a backup of the image first.

Funny you should ask.  That's exactly what I'm working on right now.  
There's a page about it on the wiki:

   http://colinux.org/wiki/index.php/ExpandingRoot

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do it from within coLinux.  IMHO, 
the "best" strategy would be to modify your default.colinux.xml file to 
point both the a super minimal linux and your "real" root_fs, boot to 
the super-minimal linux, tack on a bunch of zero-filled bits to the end 
of the "real" fs, and finally fsck and resize2fs your "real" fs.  For a 
super-minimal linux I was thinking of tomsrtbt, but I don't know how to 
setup colinux for tomsrtbt.

So, for now I've been using a copy of the original fs image.

I've got it working now. What I've done is just created a packet filter rule
to allow TCP for everything. That's probably rather slack, but at least it
works.
It works without UDP/ICMP. What are they for? If it's for the nameserver,
that's running on the host machine so that's probably why I don't need it.

Thanks

Kerio PFW in version 4.x is still for free for home or non-commercial 
user. but not in full version. i don't know exactly which functions are 
disabled. if you're lucky with 2.1.5 it's better choice. i had some 
buffer overflows which caused me to deinstall it. but 4.x ain't so 
stable as the 2.x was. so the zone alarm was back :-(

i had troubles with zone alarm using colinux, so i'm just working with 
my hardware router and brain - it's all ok till now :-)

have a nice os,

[coLinux-users] coLinux and nfsd

[<mas...@wp...>]

Hi,

I'm looking for nfsd support in coLinux.

I started with coLinux (2.4.26-co-0.6.1) and Gentoo distribution.
I emerged the nfs-utils package (NFS client and server daemons).
The nfs client works well (mount -t nfs), but starting the nfs daemon fails:

root@colinux root # /etc/init.d/nfs start
 * Starting NFS statd...                      [ ok ]
 * Exporting NFS directories...               [ ok ]
 * Starting NFS daemon...
 * Error starting NFS daemon                  [ !! ]

 * Starting NFS mountd...                     [ ok ]

Examining log files shows the following:

Jun  2 13:05:30 [nfsd] nfssvc: Function not implemented
Jun  2 13:05:30 [rc-scripts] Error starting NFS daemon

What is wrong?

Well, the concept of setting rules is similar. I'm sticking to version 2.1.5
of kerio PFW for the reason that kerio 2.1.5 is free for home or non-commercial
user, while 4.x is not. Besides, v4.x adds new functions which could be 
unnecessary for a firewall and be substituted with other applications. :P

The point is that the TCP/UDP and ICMP traffics from coLinux must be permitted
for incoming. The Windows Application Layer Gateway Service could also be required
for packet forwarding. The only thing I'm not sure is that the "Internet Gateway" 
mode is whether configurable in kerio 4.x or not. Maybe you could find some clue
in the kerio's help. :>

  I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that coLinux kernel
has timer interrupts 'disabled'.  ie. They are not implemented
yet.



  I ran into the interrupts not being enabled in another situation,
I think UML in coLinux, but I'm not sure.



  Anyways, I'm prety sure that's what causes this.



The work arounds I have seen thus far are:



1) emerge inject perl-<version>



2) modify perl's ebuild and comment out the line having to do
with the tests and emerge again.



3) configure rc.conf to point to an local portage tree, copy
over an copy of perl's ebuilds, modify them, commenting out the
line dealing with tests and be on your way.



  I initially did solution #1, but eventually went back and settled
on #3.

really work! Tap is imho not possible for the virtual machine should do some
server work.

Thanks,
Andreas

maby best to use tap and ICS in this case.

Re: [coLinux-users] Fix for problem when running coLinux as a service

I have also fought for some time with that issue.

Windows NT services are running as LocalSystem account. 
This Windows NT user is not (surprisingly) a member of Everyone group.
You should check Windows NT permissions to the files in coLinux directory.
Solution:
    1)  make the service to run as another user, that has permissions to 
read and execute the coLinux files
    2)  (preferred) change permissions to allow LocalSystem account to 
read and execute the coLinux files

[coLinux-users] Two quick questions

[Michael L. <mi...@s2...>]

Running the Gentoo deluxe, and have the following questions:
 
1) phpSysInfo requires the kernel source.  Is it possible to upgrade the
kernel, or would that be a very horribly bad idea?  (So, to get phpSysInfo
to work, do I just grab a kernel that matches the version that it runs off
of?)
 
2) Running XP Pro/PCAP bridging, is there any way for me to access the linux
system from the XP host?  I can't ping the linux system from XP, and I can't
ping XP from linux.  Any ideas as to how to solve this?  It's frustrating
for me to VNC to another system just to be able to browse to a page sitting
on the Linux system.
 
Thx,
 
Mike

Well, I'm using NTFS, so perhaps we can rule that out...  :)

it's not limited to gentoo either, of course.

the make tests also fail for Time::Hires, and thus for all the Benchmarks,
even when compiling perl 5.8.4 on the coLinux-supplied debian filesystem
image.  i was trying this perlmonks tutorial "Install parallel Perl on
Debian" [ http://perlmonks.thepen.com/285799.html ]

i think it has something to do with the fact that my underlying filesystem
is FAT32 instead of NTFS.  FAT32 files have a time "resolution" of just less
that 2 seconds, which confuses compilers and makes Time::Hires think it has
failed when it hasn't really -- the filesystem has failed it.

the only workaround i know of is to just not run "make test" when compiling
perl -- not an optimal solution, of course.  but i skipped it and just did a
make install and my new perl 5.8.4 installed flawlessly and works great.

i'd be interested to see if it really *is* the FAT32 -second time resolution
limitation that is causing this, and if so, what can be done about it to
make perl detect the environment, and skip the test on this platform, as
perl for windows does on FAT32 volumes.  are you two both running colinux on
Fat32-formatted drives?  if you're not sure then, in explorer, right-click
the drive colinux is installed on, select properties, and "General" tab
should show

       Type: Local Disk
File System: FAT32

if it says NTFS instead of FAT32 and you're getting this error compiling
perl, then drop me a note so i can look into it further.

Dan, if my suspicions are right, how could perl tests running on coLinux
even *discover* that the host filesystem is FAT32 so that we can teach them
to skip these tests?  and wouldn't there have to be some run-time test perl
could do to learn the host filesystem, since the colinux image might be
moved to and from different filesystems while it was "asleeep"?

Nope, the problem isn't that it's FAT32.  Mine is NTFS.
