ulogd-1.02 and FC2

[Basher52]

i tried to install ulogd-1.02-vm1.i386.rpm but i had major problems
just gave me this...:

[root@xxx temp]# rpm -Uvh ulogd-1.02-vm1.i386.rpm --test
error: Failed dependencies:
libpcap.so.0.6.2 is needed by ulogd-1.02-vm1

i thought... ok, maybe its not for FC2.

i even tried the gzip version and compiled it, that one worked to install, but the result were not the wanted.
the time that ulogd made in the log was always 'Jan 1 01:00:00' on every entry

today i tried 1.00 and 1.01
1.00 had errors so i couldnt compile it
1.01 had the some time errors too.
i removed it and reinstalled 1.02 again, and now the time error is
pending between these two times:
'Mar 20 15:40:12' and 'Mar 22 18:52:12'


can anyone tell me if you have had this and corrected it?

i used 1.00 in FC1 and that worked ok.

PS. i even tried the 'ulogd-1.02-vm1.i386.rpm' from this site just incase
the other had some personal touch to it
but it had the same dependency error

Those RPMS were not built for Fedora. I have rebuilt the RPMs for FC2 and added them to my repo. You should be able to just "apt-get update;apt-get install ulogd" if you have my FC2 repo in your list, or get the RPMS from here:

http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/RPM ... 1.i386.rpm
http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/RPM ... 1.i386.rpm

Source:

http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/RPM ... m1.src.rpm

My sources.list entry would be:

Code: Select all

rpm http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net apt/fedora/2/en/i386 voidmain
rpm-src http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net apt/fedora/2/en/i386 voidmain


Let me know if these do not work.

thx mate

Ill try this but i thought of something
i may better do an update to the entire install too
that could be why the 1.02 RPMs fail on dependencies, even yours

Ill get back to ya when ive done this.

[Basher52]

well i just tried to apt-get ur version, but i get this:

[root@FTP root]# apt-get install ulogd
Reading Package Lists... Done

[root@FTP root]#

i even tried the '-f' but i get the same result.

does it meen it is istalled anyways or?
cuz if it is, i still get tme same time error faoult.
now, again with 'Jan 01 01:00:00' on all entries


PS. i still havent done a total systemupgrade yet, but i will

You have your apt configured to only allow signed packages with known signatures. I do not sign my packages so you will have to turn that off if you want to install it via apt. You can also just download it and "rpm -Uvh ulog*" it if you don't want to turn of signature checking.

[Basher52]

i turned the sign thing off, and installed it
the installation worked, but i still get the time errors

i wonder if this even have anything to do with ulogd
the time itself is OK, but could there be something else that makes ulogd
think the time in the computer stands on Jan 1?

This looks like the same problem you are having (and I probably would as well if I actually set it up and try to use it):

http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/ulo ... 00656.html

I could apply that patch and create an updated RPM for FC2. I should be able to get to it sometime today.

EDIT: That is a kernel patch not a ulogd patch. It appears that the problem does not reside in ulogd but in iptables. I should have noticed when looking at the directory paths in the patch:

http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/ulo ... 00661.html

Which kernel are you running (uname -r)? The newer kernels have this patch applied (at least 2.6.8+, not sure when prior to that it was applied).

EDIT2: The latest kernel for FC2 that is out is 2.6.8-1.521. I just checked the source and the patch has been applied to it. I think if you upgrade to that kernel your timestamp thing should be solved:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install kernel#2.6.8-1.521

thnx mate
i tried to install 2.6.8-1.521 but it said that it needed /bin/sh
the problem is that its there, so i dont get it.

and now... i get those segmenation faults again, and now i only use new fresh HDDs crap ;( ;(
and i saw on the console some days ago that i had timeouts from /dev/hdb
and a pal of mine sad that every time he had those, he started to have bad blocks showing up on the disks

anyways.. i gotta send in the gfx anyways, cuz the fan on it sounds too bad
after that i do my usual, reinstall the whole thing...lol

but atleast i know that the problem is so ill install the newest kernel right away after the OS reinstall

PS... is there a way to "patch" FC2-DVD kernel (maybe even other stuff
on it) to later versions?
so i get 2.6.8-1.521 directly after reinstalling?

[Void Main]

Yep, sounds like you have a disk going bad. I've had several bad disks over the years and know the symptoms too well. I would save off as much as you can before it goes completely.

[Basher52]

hehe..ur fast answering today :p
did u see my updated PS in the previous thread?

i got the segmentation fault alot of times when i tried to install 2.6.8-1.521 so that could be the problem with the /bin/sh thingy

[Basher52]

UPDATE:

the '...needed /bin/sh...' this was that the rpm database had crached to i
did a rpm --rebuilddb and it was ok.
i installed installed kernel 2.6.8-1.521 and the timestamp was OK

thx for the info
