Modprobe.conf and aliases/options

Is modprobe.conf the right place to put aliases an options for ArchLinux? I see sometimes people put them in a special aliases and options file, but maybe that is for other distros.

Yes, modprobe.conf is the correct location for module options and aliases.

Modprobe.conf install

I have a style question on the install and remove commands in modules.conf.
This is my modprobe.conf as of now
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
alias irda0 nsc-ircc # required for irattach
options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09 io=0x2f8 irq=3
install nsc-ircc /usr/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none;
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nsc-ircc;
/sbin/modprobe ircomm;
/sbin/modprobe ircomm-tty
# Enable experimental featues, and hotkeys in ibm-acpi
options ibm-acpi experimental=1
install ibm-acpi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ibm-acpi;
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
I was wondering if there would be any reason why I shouldn't run services on module load, instead of rc.conf's DAEMONS array
For example
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0;
/etc/rc.d/alsa start
remove snd-intel8x0 /etc/rc.d/alsa stop;
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
I can think of other hardware that needs extra configuration before it's completely useful. Like soft modems, network cards, irda, etc. Also this could save on power for notebook users by turning off unused devices (such as IRDA).
Is this the right way to use these directives? It probably me having a case of the I-just-learned-how-to syndrome, but I think this could be useful in combination with udev's RUN option, I just haven't seen it used like this before.

That is almost exactly the purpose of modprobe.conf : setting options to be used when modules are probed.
Ahhh, I see (I think.) I need to leave the lines as they are in modprobe.conf, AND add them to the module lines in rc.conf.
Cool, thanks!

hi
my modprobe.conf have

Please help! Strange problem with HTTPD.Conf and OC4J (I think)

Hi,
We have been trying to configure the 10g "infrastructure" Apache server/instance to work with our own authentication module, and as part of this, we need to configure a directory alias containing some of our JSPs. To do this, the only thing that we did was that we took the standard HTTPD.CONF file that got installed with the 10g AS installation, and added a small section at the end.
However, we are finding that if our addition to the HTTPD.CONF is included, instead of the JSPs in our aliased directory being processed, Apache seems to be just serving the JSPs as text pages :(..
If we remove the section at the end of the HTTPD.CONF, and point a browser to the unaliased path, the JSPs get processed correctly.
I was wondering if anyone here might take a look at our HTTPD.CONF below, and tell me if you can see something there that might be causing this behavior? The section that we added is at the very end. We think that the problem might be something like the "order" of the directives, etc. in the HTTPD.CONF file may be such that the alias is taking priority ahead of the OC4J, or something like that.
Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long message.
Jim

Hi,
I wanted to post what we found on this.
As indicated in my original msg, we had an Alias directory in the httpd.conf. However, after thinking about the problem a bit, I think that the Alias was not the right thing to do.
The Alias tells Apache to map a URL fragment to a FILESYSTEM location. Well, obviously, Apache only SERVES pages... it doesn't process JSPs.
We switched to using a Redirect directive instead of the Alias, and things worked a little better, but we've run into a bit of a problem with "Redirect looping", but that's a different story :)...

Alsa entries in /etc/modprobe.conf

could someone who has all the alsa options compiled as modules post that part of their /etc/modprobe.conf? i'm only getting 3 lines and i believe there are supposed to be more, causing me to have to run alsaconf every time after booting. for some reason the other modules aren't getting written to the file. appreciate!

look at hapy's post that is an example of everything you can load (note cmipci is HIS soundcard the rest is generic modules)
i found this with a search

Kernel26, nvidia in modprobe.conf, failed to initialize

According to this thread (at the end) http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=4067&start=15 and my own experiences :-) nvidia with kernel26 can't be initialized if it's in modprobe.conf. When starting xfree there is an error (details in the link): "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!". This is true for user and root. Nvidia works well only when placed in /etc/rc.conf MODULES line or when run manually with modprobe nvidia. Is this ok or maybe some bug ? I have no problem leaving nvidia in rc.conf because it's the simpliest method and works but I'd just like to know the reason 8)
PS. Sorry If this was answered in some other thread - there are so many threads about nvidia that it's impossible to analyze them all :-)

I think it's ok, nothing to worry about.
The only nvidia-related line in my /etc/modprobe.conf is
alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia
I think the nvidia installer put it there for me, as I can't remember inserting it myself.
I believe /etc/modprobe.conf is just for aliasing purposes, as everything in it seems to start with the word alias ;-) Module loading when starting up should be done by /etc/rc.conf, I guess.
Oh, and about the kernel-tainting, that's just a message to the kernel developers: "dismiss this guy's bug report" ;-) They'll immediately suspect the closed source module crashed your system, not their open source kernel. And they'll probably be right, too.

Has UDEV_TIMEOUT been dropped from rc.conf as an option?

I was merging changes with a recent rc.conf.pacnew and I noticed that UDEV_TIMEOUT is not part of that file.
I also checked with 'man rc.conf' and it's not listed there either. It that no longer a valid option in rc.conf? If so, where should that timeout be configured now?

OK - so this is different from the timeout that I see during boot, which is 30 secs:
Wed Jan 25 19:49:47 2012: :: Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed [BUSY] udevd[160]: worker [187] timeout, kill it
Wed Jan 25 19:49:47 2012: udevd[160]: seq 1347 '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:07:00.0' killed
Wed Jan 25 19:49:47 2012: udevd[160]: worker [187] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)

What to put in modprobe.conf?

hello
i can't get to run network the best i got out of it was
siocaddrt: network unreachable.
i think it might be because i haven't added anything to modprobe.conf. however, i just don't know what to add.
i have Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter, Copper RJ-45. i hope you know what it means...

thanks it worked
to be honest, i didn't really believe it would as it's my i think 4th or 5th attempt at networking in arch and every time i'd spend up to a week browsing the forums and asking at irc a lot and nothing ever helped.
but this did. thank you once again

NFS v3 server, and "nolock" option

I'm getting the following error whne trying to mount a FreeNAS share. AFAIK, it uses NFSv3 :
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
The wiki has conflicting advice for this. One solution is to edit /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf and set "NEED_STATD" to yes, while the other is to start the rpc-statd service with systemd.
Which of these is th e correct way to go about fixing this, and are they both preferrable to just using the "nolock" option? Also, systemd throws up a failed warning half the time when starting up rpc-statd on boot.
Any help is appreciated. thanks.

The Solaris implementation of NFS has always been very strict.
Other OS's? Not so much. Put an inode number larger than 32 bits while using non-large-file-aware NFSv2, like Irix would do? A Solaris host couldn't access the file. Nevermind some of the sketchy NFS sleight-of-hand Linux has been known to pull (silently truncating group membership?!?!?!).
And NFSv4 is pretty complex, and in my experience too easy to break.
I'd open tickets with Oracle and NetApp, and see if you can get something more out of them than pointing fingers at each other.

ITunes and aliases

On my iMac, I have my HD divided into two volumes. I keep my music (and movies) on the second volume. iTunes itself is obviously on the first volume. To facilitate this, I created aliases in the iTunes Media directory on the first volume to point to the directories on the second volume. I imported all of my music, and all works fine.
Well, all except getting new music into the library. I have both "Keep Organized" and "Copy" options checked. Whenever I try to load new music into the library, say from the Downloads directory (when I've purchased from Napster) or another directory (from Amazon, etc.), I get an error that it can't copy. I have to manually create the directories, copy the music, and then import it with the "Copy" option turned off.
I know I can point iTunes itself to the second volume, but that means all my media (including apps, etc.) is on that drive, which I don't necessarily want.
Shouldn't the aliases "just work"? In Finder, if I click on one of the aliases, it takes me to correct directory on the other volume. And the existing library works fine. So I know the aliases work at least in part.
Anything obvious I should check?

Aliases just won't work with iTunes. Neither will Unix symbolic links. I don't know what iTunes is doing, exactly, that is so broken, but that's the bottom line. As you've found, some stuff will work and other stuff will fail spectacularly.
Years go by and iTunes fails to add the most basic, desperately needed library organization features, like storing some stuff on other volumes.
The only way I've found to make it work is to have the second volume actually mount on a directory inside the iTunes library structure. At the moment I have an external drive that contains my entire iTunes library, which I've accomplished by having the volume mount on ~/Music/iTunes so iTunes will be none the wiser.
The only way to do this is via the Terminal. First you have to get the volume's UUID, which you can get in Disk Utility by selecting the volume and choosing "info" from the toolbar. Copy the UUID.
Then you have to edit the file /etc/fstab which is in a directory that's hidden from the Finder and which requires root privileges to edit. If you don't know what that means and how to do it, stop right here, because if you mess it up you're going to break your system in a way that could very well render it unbootable.
Add a line to fstab like:
UUID=114F5F2C-5DF3-3BC1-9A6C-372703C0171C /Users/username/Music/iTunes hfs rw 1 0
Where the UUID string is the one for the volume, and the directory path is where you want the volume to mount in your filesystem. This directory must already exist. Now whenever the volume is mounted, instead of going into the catchall /Volumes directory, it will mount where you told it to mount. You can freely rename the volume because you're referencing it by UUID, which doesn't change. Although in this example I'm putting the entire library on the external drive, you could use this to split out only part of the library, so long as the part you want on the other volume is all under one directory.
There is only one way to make things go horribly wrong after you do this. If you plug in and turn on the external drive, but launch iTunes before the volume is mounted, iTunes will (a) see that there is no iTunes library; then (b) create a new one. It will do this in two, separate steps. If your volume happens to get mounted after (a) but before (b), then your library file will get wiped out. Not the media files, just the library, which contains all your playlists and ratings and the like. It might sound like a rare race condition, but it's happened to me twice. So keep backups, and always make sure you allow enough time for the volume to mount before launching iTunes.

Are CC and BCC options available in XML Publisher email?

I am working in XML publisher phase 2. I want to know whether there is any way to set CC and BCC options in email outputs.
If yes, how can I do?
What is the way to sent same mail to multiple persons?
Thanks in Advance
Sudheesh Sudhakar

Have you looked in Mail Help? When I search for Bcc there, I get an article titled “Keeping confidentiality” and another titled “Sending an email to several people” that appear to contain the information you’re looking for, including what Klaus suggested and more...

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

How Do RoboHelp 9 WebHelp Generated Files Handle Map IDs and Aliases?

The text below was written by our team's developer/architect. I am the help author who uses RoboHelp to write content and generate the help files, but I am clueless how it all gets generated and is deployed. Please help. We use RoboHelp 9. I use it in Windows XP and our app and help run on IE 7, 9, and Firefox (multiple versions).
"Our application uses the numeric identifiers associated with the Map ID. For example, to get to the <appname>_home_page.htm file, we use the number 1053. <appname> = pecs, in this example.
All of this is used in a call to a RoboHelp method defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. The mehtod we are calling is the RH_ShowHelp() JavaScript method and the code to perform the call, when you click on Page Help, is this:
RH_ShowHelp(0, ''/pecsHelp/index.htm>pecsHelp',HH_HELP_CONTEXT,topic);
Topic is translated to the Map ID number for the page help. HH_HELP_CONTEXT is defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. This method translates into a URL and from what I have seen, the URL that gets generated is this:
http://{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm/{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm#<id=1053>>pecsHelp
Server and port get replaced with the appropriate values. I have no clue how id=1053 is supposed to get translated to mean "pecs_home_page.htm". If you check the PECS_help.h file, you will see the following entry:
#define PECS_Home_Page1 1053
Then in the RoboHelp alias file (PECS 3.0.ali), the following line is in the file:
<alias name="PECS_Home_Page1" link="pecs_home_page.htm"> </alias>
But both of these files are used during the WebHelp generation process and I don't know how the WebHelp generated files handle the Map ID and aliases."

You need to assign the numbers you find in the pecs_help.h file to topics in your help. You do this in Context Sensitive Help > Map Files > All Map IDs. (From RH7, but I assume the location is similar in RH9.) This creates the entries in the .ali file.
Peter Grainge suggests a couple of sites to read for a greater understanding here:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/using_map_ids.htm
(Although the second site is based on RH X5, the basic concepts and procedures should be very similar. )
