Hi All

Been sometime since I needed to come by. I just did a fresh install of FC4 and following the HowTo. I didn't get very far... when I went to install apt...

Code:

[root@server1 ~]# rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm

this is what I got

Code:

Retrieving http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/apt-0.5.15cnc 7-6.fc4.i386.rpm
/var/tmp/rpm-xfer.lxfsMP: not an rpm package (or package manifest):

a recopy, retry got this

Code:

Retrieving http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm
warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.yaGUEo: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1ac70ce6

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/apt-cache;43e7e254: cpio: read

and one more try for kicks and grins got this

Code:

Retrieving http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm
error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.sduvJ7: headerRead failed: hdr blob(42126): BAD, read returned 24120
error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.sduvJ7 cannot be installed

any rational thoughts on what is going on? I did a full FC4 install and there were errors noted during install.

thanks !

Maybe your hard disk is full? What's the output of

Code:

df -h

?

Hi Falko

It is a brand new 160GB SATA. Setting it up so I can transfer my web stuff to it for more room.

I ran Up2date last night and that hosed my graphics. I am gonna go bu Fedora and get the latest version of the ISOs and try a reload see what happens.

aahhh! success! but I just did the server install as outlined in your HowTo. Would lead one to believe that the HowTo doesn't support a full install but that does not make sense. Could have been a glith in the install also. I guess if I get bored enough I can try a full install again.

Mean while... I'll just install stuff as I need it.

Thanks!

p.s. not sure it matters now but df -h comes back as

Code:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3             144G  2.1G  134G   2% /
/dev/sda1              99M  9.3M   85M  10% /boot
/dev/shm              125M     0  125M   0% /dev/shm

That's no problem.

Okay I got bored and did the full install after all...

Everything went fine with the install and then following the Perfect Setup... until I rebooted

when it was doing the checks and got to "Checking filesystems" I get;

Code:

fsck.ext3 Unable to resolve 'Label=/'

and it threw me into shell.

In the Perfect Setup under Quota we edited this line in /etc/fstab to add usrquota and grpquota. I blocked and copied so I don't believe I made a key error but maybe I didn't save it right or something.

Can I fix this from the shell? I am weak at best with console so.... It did cross my mind I could recreate /etc/fstab and copy it there through the shell and hopefully overwrite the old. Now the question is... what would the shell commands be to copy from floppy to dir?

I got a little more info... when it goes to shell it gives a couple options.

Enter root password for maintenance.
(or type Control-D to continue) Control D just reboots back th the same problem.

Entering root password gives

Code:

(repair filesystem) 1 #

I just don't know what to enter here. Exit does just that and reboots.

I figured out the copy command (cp) but cannot get either linux machine to recognize the floppy drive e.g. cp /floppy or /floppy drive or /fd0. I have tried every imaginable combo and name.

Let me tell you, that I did same thing and have to reinstall again, my fedora core 4 got this:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1

and the howto show just / ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1

after trying a lot I just decide reload, and when got back to that part just leave as is and add up usrquota,grpquota.

If there is any option!!! it's too late for me, but a good chance for you.

Good luck!!

hi,

hope you guys can give me a few how to's. i'm a newbie and was assigned to set up a webserver. i followed the perfect setup for fc4 and came across an error when i try to install: (installing as administrator not as root)

rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/...6.fc4.i386.rpm

error came as:

warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.XFQMAi: Header V3 DSA signature: NONKEY, key ID 1ac70ce6

error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/_db.000

did the same command as root but error came as:

error: skipping http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux - transfer failed - Unkown or unexpected error

segmentation fault

thanks in advance.

I guess you copied the whole /etc/fstab from the tutorial instead of just adding

Code:

,usrquota,grpquota

to the appropriate partition?

The /etc/fstab is just an example, it looked like that on the system I used to write the tutorial, and I think yours had been different. I don't want you to copy it, I just want you to add

Code:

,usrquota,grpquota

to it.
I guess you did not make a backup of the original /etc/fstab? Then you should consider a reinstall...
