Where is /etc/modules.conf file

I installed the Fedora core 2 and hoped to run with oracle 9i RAC. Many documents indicate that I need to modify the /etc/modules.conf file. But I can't find this file.
Has this file no longer used in Fedora core 2? Has this file been moved to other location?
Please help.

It is called /etc/modules on some distributions, but I cannot tell if this is the case in Fedora2

Firewire module install with rpm not updating "/etc/grub.conf" file

Hello,
Thank you in advance! I am trying to setup Oracle10g RAC on RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0. As a part of that process, I am trying to install the shared disk (Firewire) module on the node using 'rpm' as follows:
rpm -ivh --force oracle-firewire-modules-2.6.9.EL-1286-1.i686.rpm
It is getting installed perfectly. However, I am expecting with "-ivc" option, it is supposed to update "/etc/grub.conf" file. But it is not updating this file. Therefore reboot could NOT load this module and can not proceed further. Any help on this is really appreciated!
Thanks again,
Kishore

karol's link did the deed! I had gone to the page that shows the most up to date mirrors and used that for the install. But when I used the link that karol gave it not only gave me the same URL as I used earlier to install, it gave me some additional suffixes that didn't appear on the page that provided the updated links. When I added /$repo/os/$arch, pacman took off and started burning rubber. So many thanks!
Now I can go ahead and install reflector, which is the first thing I try and do when I get an Arch install up and running. Thanks again.
After seeing karol's script in post#4, I see that the /$repo/os//4arch was showing up there also. I didn't see anything like that when I copied the link to install.

[solved] No dhcpd : No /etc/dhcpd.conf file

I've managed to get the KDE desktop running, but ever since starting KDE, I haven't been able to connect to anything online. When I tried to check and edit the /etc/dhcpd.conf file, that file doesn't exist. Looked at the Beginner's Guide but didn't see where I skipped whatever I should have done to make the file. Install worked great, so dhcp worked for that.
What do I do to get dhcp to work? Checked /etc/rc.conf and eth0="dhcp" is uncommented.

If those are what you are placing in the daemon section of your /etc/rc.conf then that's probably your problem. Don't use networkmanager daemon unless you have 'networkmanager' and 'network-manager-applet' installed.
Try this
(hal syslog-ng network netfs crond alsa)

Hi ! do you mean the file /etc/resolv.conf ? This file should be by default in the /etc/ diretory and contains the dns-name resolutions. http://linux.die.net/man/5/resolv.conf http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag/node84.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolv.conf

Where is the ojsp.conf file located

The tutorial is kind of misleading. The jsp file is ready and the tutorial tell me to do the following steps
Before you can run the application you need to make sure that your HTTP server is configured appropriately. Perform the following steps:
1. Edit the ojsp.conf in notepad. This file is typically found in the <ORACLE_HOME>\Apache\jsp\conf directory. Add the following alias:
BUT I DO NOT FIND ANY ojsp.conf file at all. I searched for it too. How to go forward on this.
Secondly my apache server is up and running when I hit http://hostname:7777

Hi Mthompson,

I never setup any dhcp client configuration before, but each time the VM is rebooted or started it seems that the /etc/resolv.conf always gets overwritten again.
However, in Server 1, somehow the dhcp client is working and getting the right DNS server IP address.
What I want to achieve for the Server 2 is like the one in the Server 1 where the nameserver I got from the ISP is also configured there.
That will made it easier if I need to download just a small file from the internet.
Other than that, I also wanted to understand what other configuration that could affect this /etc/resolve.conf file gets overwritten, which configuration and how to configure it.
Thanks in advance for your help in advance.

Hi Dude!,
To make it simpler, I can simply delete those interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2, & eth3) right now and left with eth4 which I think can be directed to the actual question I was asking.
So here's the result of ipconfig on my host:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-90-F5-CC-F9-DB
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.5(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
                                       103.11.48.126
   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
As you can see from that result, if you compare the Server 1 and Server 2, the /etc/resolv.conf from Server 1 managed to get that 103.11.48.126, whereas the one in the Server 2 couldn't.
This is exactly what I'm trying to resolve.
Does this make any sense to you?
Just forget about the other interfaces.
Thank you,
Adhika

Modules in /etc/rc.conf not listed in ..lsmod

/etc/modules.conf also has alias for the modules missing in lsmod.
Cannot find ohci..uhci..ohci-hcd...uhci-hcd listed in ...lsmod.
What causes this?

The kernel being pursued is 2.6.3 because it has been hyped as USB2.0 compatible... References in googling say it has problems in usb-storage
Please advise how to enable IEEE1394 in kernel 2.6.3 which has a dearth of info on the net.....
My latest post #33 refers to the data obtained from running :
tail -f /var/log/messages
The result doesn't indicate any useful info for finding the solution. I just ran into a brick wall and suspect that my external HDD is incompatible with the kernel in 2.0.
I'd like to try IEEE1394 which is available in the HDD as well.
So how do I get that started?

Set systemwide variable with /etc/launchd.conf does not work in 10.10

Hi,
before i upgraded my system, i set in file /etc/launchd.conf some variables. I need this for the Shell, Eclipse and some other tools.
user@osx10-10:~$ cat /etc/launchd.conf
setenv M2_HOME /opt/maven
setenv MAVEN_OPTS "-Xmx2048m -Dmaven.surefire.debug=-Xmx2048m"
user@osx10-10:~$
With Mavericks there was no problem, since Yosemite no Variables are set.
Also when i try to set it manually with launchctl setting xxxxx xxxx, no variable is set.
Does anyone has a workaround for me?
Regards
Joerg

Alex It should work . by the way your PATH variable should be placed in /etc/paths like this :
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/Users/alex/Dev/apache-ant-1.9.2/bin
Note after each line there is a return key
As for environment variables open your ~/.bash_profile and place the.
export ANT_HOME = /Users/alex/Dev/apache-ant-1.9.2
launchctl setenv ANT_HOME $ANT_HOME
export ANT_OPTS = -Xmx512M
launchctl setenv ANT_OPTS $ANT_OPTS
make sure you save and restart all applications that need to read environment variables. I faced the same problem with intelliJ accessing M2_HOME
As a side note : consulting the man pages of launchctl(1)
DEPRECATED AND REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY
     launchctl no longer has an interactive mode, nor does it accept commands from stdin. The
     /etc/launchd.conf file is no longer consulted for subcommands to run during early boot time; this func-
     tionality was removed for security considerations. While it was documented that $HOME/.launchd.conf
     would be consulted prior to setting up a user's session, this functionality was never implemented.
     launchd no longer uses Unix domain sockets for communication, so the LAUNCHD_SOCKET environment vari-
     able is no longer relevant and is not set.
     launchd no longer loads configuration files from the network

How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

[Solved] Can't boot up due to error in a conf file

After trying to install kpd it seems that the /etc/kpd.conf file contains an error. After restarting the computer I see an error when it is booting up. Then on the login screen when I type my username for every key pressed 3 chars are show ie username => foo output => fffoooooo.
Coming from a ubuntu I figured I would just restart in simple/safe mode, but there doesn't seem to be one, or at least I don't have one on the boot screen.
I am lost to how ti fix the config file. Anyone have some advice?
Thanks for the help.

If you still have the ubuntu live cd lying around, you could probably try that out.

[Solved]Add kernel26 to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. Not ignored.

Using kdemod4.3(32bit). I re-installed kernel26-2.6.30.5-1-i686(earliest in pacman pkg cache) and added kernel26 and kernel-headers to /etc/pacman.conf IgnorePkg but # "pacman -Syu" still asks to upgrade kernel to 2.30.6-1-i686. What do I add to that IgnorePkg to avoid kernel upgrade? Tried kernel, kernel26 and kernel26*. Adding nvidia,nvidia-utils and xorg-server to Ignorepkg give me that thee aren't upgraded(desirred result). Thanx.

Sample /etc/sysctl.conf.default for Mac OS X 10.8.4 Server?

Hello:
I foolishly modified the /etc/sysctl.conf file on my Macmini server running 10.8.4 server and now things do not work as expected:
* most programs fail to launch (Firefox, Git, Safari)
* the system takes a long time to boot
* there is no network connectivity
* the Server app (and services) fail to launch
I'll greatly appreciate if somebody could post or point me to a stock or default "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
I did try deleting the /etc/sysctl.conf file altogether, but it did not solve my problem.
Thanks.

It's interesting and worrisome that both of these answers conflict with the instructions at the Postgres web site, and in other posts about installing Postgres on Mountain Lion. According to those resources, there is no such file by default, but creating it (and rebooting) is the way to change these settings.
This thread is about Postgres on OS X Server, which is installed by default. You shouldn't have to do anything else to set it up. If you are installing Postgres on OS X Client, then you may have some work to do. I tried Postgres a couple of years ago. It was pretty clunky. I assume Apple does a better job of configuring Postgres than Postgres. I suggest installing OS X Server if you want to run Postgres and MySQL is not suitable for some reason.

However, this has no effect:

# Third party programs must not access this file directly, but

nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8844
As you can see dhcpcd ovveride the /etc/resolv.conf file.
How can I avoid this? How can I change the file and make the changes permanent.
Thanks in advance.

yes. exactly. i removed and used a text editor to make the necessary changes to a file of the same name (/etc/resolv.conf).
now the changes remained.
thanks.

Hdparm -Y /dev/sdb in /etc/rc.conf no effect

Hello. I have added SSD disk to my laptop (/dev/sda), but I have kep old HDD (/dev/sdb).
Because HDD is rarely used, I decided to spare some power by putting this HDD to rest. So I checked out the command in terminal:
sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sdb
It worked. However, when I added
hdparm -Y /dev/sdb
to the bottom of /etc/rc.conf file, nothing happens.
Why is this and how can I debug that? Can I somehow prevent HDD spinning up in the first place?

There may be other ways I'm not aware of, but I'm not a guru either.
You can work around that with proper sudo configuration. Say, this should work for whole wheel group to be able to use sudo hdparm without root password:
%wheel ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/hdparm
Obviously could be done for other groups as well. Just an example.

I have come up with solution:
until [ "$(pidof X)" ]; do
sleep 1
done
sleep 10
hdparm -Y /dev/sdb
Is solution like this acceptable?
edit, nevermind, I'm just dumb looks good
edit2 actually... a script put this way will ask for a pid of a process, on whose creation it is waiting. Either I'm very very tired (which I am), or the logic is a bit faulty.
