KerbyServer

UPDATE: For what it's worth, this sounds exactly like my issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.1...

This is a quick one, to make Fedora systems act like the Debian and Ubuntu's default of not putting duplicate commands in ~/.bash_history, add the following line to /etc/profile:

HISTCONTROL=ignoredups

I made some more modifications to my MythTV system.

It is now running Openbox as its window manager...much lighter than metacity and all the gnome accessories. I mostly followed the guide here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Server/Frontend

With the new Openbox config, I had to find a different way to enable a vncserver for remote access to the gui. I did this with x11vnc. To get it running, I followed some pieces of
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/x11vnc

As much as I love Fedora, occasionally I find myself wishing it would do a certain thing like Debian or Ubuntu. A while ago, I posted a way to sort the ps command like Debian in Fedora. This time, I found out how to transplant another of Debian's defaults to Fedora.

I just upgraded my Ubuntu MythTV system from Edgy to Feisty. The MythTV components seem to work fine, but the video out on the ATI card and the remote control do not work properly.

It should be somewhat straightforward to get this system running properly again. I'll try to document the steps here for posterity...

UPDATE:

ATI TV Output Instructions

I have been holding back on doing a kernel upgrade for some time on my Ubuntu system that runs a MythTV front and back end. To the best of my knowledge :) I have a patched ATI driver, Hauppauge itv driver, and possibly lirc that were compiled against the current kernel. I have a hunch that I replaced the compiled lirc with a proper package install during the edgy upgrade, but I'm not sure.

I performed a full backup of the system with backuppc and am going ahead with the installation of:

When using ps with Ubuntu and Debian, the output is organized by the start time of the process. On Fedora, the output defaults to sorting by PID. This approach differs because PIDs eventually wrap around and no longer represent the processes in chronological order.

I finally found that the following ps command on Fedora systems will sort the same as Ubuntu/Debian:

ps -e --sort=start_time


On multiple occasions I have had to modify a broken file on a Fedora system that was preventing me from booting. More recently this has been the /etc/fstab file. If any lines in that file have issues, Fedora will stop booting and throw you into a recovery console. Unfortunately, that console has the root partition mounted read only, so good luck fixing that file :)

In the case I need to manually (re-)install netatalk on an Ubuntu system, follow the following instructions. This is necessary because the Ubuntu version of netatalk does not include the uams_dhx.so library to handle encryption:

apt-get source netatalk
sudo apt-get build-dep netatalk
sudo apt-get install cracklib2-dev
cd netatalk-2.0.3
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl sudo debuild
sudo dpkg -i ../netatalk_*.deb
