Yes it's odd if it says /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1

But you can save the configuration in any specific location with 
save-config -d option

Try save-config -h

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] vm ware trouble

[<mmc...@ox...>]

This was a nice mini how-to.

But a question. Is it possible to write-protect the VMware floppy image in some way, like it is with some USB keys or physical floppies?

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Problem with saving new config file.

[Paolo S. <pao...@gm...>]

  I migrated from 1.2 to 1.4RC6.
Now i'm trying to save new config file, but i have this message and i can't save it.

Found configuration file location used by boot: /dev/sda (it should be the usb pen where i usually put etc.tar.bz2 file)
using device /dev/sda
Please insert Configuration Media in /dev/sda

Thanks,

I can confirm you that it works.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Devil-Linux headless/remote upgrade

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  I very rarely use the local console (screen/keyboard) for accessing 
DL. It is much more convenient to access it by ssh, not least because I 
don't have to be physically in front of the machine.

However the one time when I am required to be locally present is when 
upgrading from one release to the next, because the upgrade script runs 
before ssh is enabled. So I still need a local console [ or I guess 
serial console ] available.

Is/could it be possible to run the upgrade script through ssh? Then DL 
would suit truly 'headless' installations requiring only an ethernet 
connection.

That's a very good idea. You could do the same in the firewall.rules  
file, before you try setting up the rules.

Paolo,

As a workaround:

add 'tun' module loading to '/etc/init.d/boot.local'. Tun devices will be
created before firewall rules applying and openvpn will not be unshielded (even
for a short period of time).

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Move configuration data away from boot partition

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  Thanks, do I also need to delete the old configuration manually from 
the boot partition, cos I guess that's the first place DL will look for 
config when it boots? And I guess this might not be so easy because the 
boot partition is normally mounted read-only? So remount rw, delete

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Migration to 1.2RC6

[Paolo S. <pao...@gm...>]

  Sorry Heiko,
I wrote wrong.
OpenVPN starts after Firewall, so in my experience Firewall doesn't find tun0 interface up and stop to load its rules.
So i changed the symlink in rc3 and rc5 to change the starting order. I changed KXXFirewall in K99Firewall and 
SXXFirewall in S99Firewall in both directories and now it's ok.
is it only my problem ?

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey, 

I just checked my config and openvpn is loaded after the firewall. 

Don't use any of the old scripts from /etc/init.d , except the firewall.rules and boot.local. 

lsmod moved to /bin . 

You can simply find the new location by executing: which lsmod

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Move configuration data away from boot partition

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

save-config has a few options, call it with -h to get the details.
In your case you want to use -d /dev/xyz to save it on a different device.

Yes it is better to keep the boot partition separate from the config one.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Move configuration data away from boot partition

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  With DL 1.4[RC6], if I have had configuration media saved on the boot 
partition (of USB drive), and I now want to move it to another media or 
partition, how can I do that? I guess storing configuration on boot 
partition is poor practice because if you want to update configuration 
then boot partition has to be writeable?

Dominic

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  Excellent work. So in /etc/init.d/beep, this line should work:

if grep -iq ttyS /proc/cmdline; then

in place of:

if [ "`tty`" = "/dev/console" ]; then

... and the alternative beeps should be heard only when a serial console 
is actually attached. If you could confirm then I think we have it 
nailed down (at last). Thanks

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[mailing d. <mai...@gm...>]

1) booted a computer on dl1.4rc6 with standard CD:
# cat /proc/cmdline
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz vga=773 BOOT_IMAGE=/bootvmlinuz

2) enabled serial in inittab (uncommented)
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ...

3) save-config

4) booted with new configuration
# cat /proc/cmdline

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  From our 'non-serial box':

# cat /proc/cmdline
initrd=initrd.gz vga=773 BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz

But does /proc/cmdline show if serial console is enabled rather than 
whether it is actually attached?

Can you try this on a box booted without serial console attached (but 
with serial console enabled in inittab)?

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Migration to 1.2RC6

[Paolo S. <pao...@gm...>]

  I'm migrating from 1.2; while the system loads old firewall rules , it doesn't find /usr/lsmod.
Another question: which files of  the old configuration do i have to copy in new configuration compliant with 1.4RC6.
I also noted that when openvpn is enabled, it is loaded before firewall and the firewall goes in error because it 
doesn't find tun0 interface, so i have to change symlink in rc3 and rc5.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[mailing d. <mai...@gm...>]

I also think that using inittab is not the best way to do that.

Having the serial console enabled in inittab does not mean that the DL
in "serial mode".
I always enable serial acces to our DL boxes even if they are not in
"serial mode".

Anyway, I can still test it if you want.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  Yes I was hoping 'mailing dl2' might try it.

There may be a better way to detect a serial console, if someone can 
suggest it. I chose this because it is the way used in install-on-usb 
(e.g. line 492), so it seemed likely to work.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

Actually I disabled the new beep feature for RC6, because I wanted to  
not delay it any further.
The "normal" (old) beep still works with RC6, right?

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

I don't do serial mode, somebody else would have to test that.
Isn't there a better way than grep'ing the inittab to detect a serial console?

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  Heiko found a problem that the new beeps were being called for all 
machines at boot time, not just those using serial. So please can I ask 
you, as a serial user, to test the fix by downloading the latest script 
in Mantis 
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/devil-linux/view.php?id=90 and 
trying it. The only practical difference is that the line

if [ "`tty`" = "/dev/console" ]; then

is replaced with

if grep "^S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty" /etc/inittab>/dev/null; then
