This is a page of "How to" solve some computer problems that may happen.

P = problem; S = solution

P: (2009.07.02) Flex is unstable for logining or e-mails.†

S: mount to tube:/home1-old was not allowed any more.†

comment out one line in /etc/auto.misc 
# home1    172.17.4.134:/home1-old

./S28autofs forcerestart

I also delete in /etc/exports 

the requests from 172.17.4.184 (nuguraha) 172.17.4.188 (mahabubu)
and 172.17.4.127 (furu).

exportfs -a

we also need to restart nfs
/etc/rc5.d/S60nfs restart

P: (2009.06.03) Today we were failed to run ether-wake command on new-PXE server/client machines using new Hub/router.†

S: We manually turn those on and off. After that ether-wake (wake-on-Lan) command was successful.†

P: PEX (network boot) is now installing 2009.5.1†

S: finished. status PXE Server (Open)†

P: NIS (network information services) will be moved from tube to flex 2009.5.1†

S: not yet finished. status Network Information System†

---

The following problems are solved.

---

P: We move /etc/passwd then we can not be root. No more even shutdown.†

S: cntl-alt-del and reboot. Then when OS selection, push any arrow.†

Then many selection of OS appears. Select one of OS, and press E. Then select kernel and press E again. Then you can edit the command for starting kernel and add "single" in the last of the command. Finally select "b" for booting and single user mode appears. Make /etc/passwd files and exit and runlevel 5 is recovers.

Even if we used NIS, we should not delete /etc/passwd /etc/group and /etc/shadow.

P: Flex was in a trouble today (2009.06.01). Problem was, we were failed to log-in to the flex. NIS is not running. Finally we solved it. See solution†

S: We found the graphics card is very unstable on Tube machine (172.17.4.134). May be accidentally we pull the card out and tube machine was failed to boot properly. As Flex uses NIS from Tube that is why we were unable to log on to Flex.†

P: linux emacs ispell error (no language "eu") 2009.4.24†

S: solved. "M-x ispell-change-dictionary" and select english†

S: solved. Edit .emacs to add (setq ispell-dictionary "english")†

P: How to update the files of remote to the files of local†

S: solved. "rsync -avc -e ssh saito@remote:/home/saito/book09/ /rsaito/book09"†
