Came back from vacation and my HDA is flaking...

[rbmattis]

trying to access the dashboard says:

"Application error

Rails application failed to start properly"

SMB sharing is not working.

DLNA serving is working.

I can succesfully telnet and VNC in.

Which error logs should i look at to fix it?

[bigfoot65]

Might check to ensure hdactl is running or maybe restart it.

Code: Select all

service hdactl status

Also, recommend you get the latest Fedora updates. That might help as well. As for logs, you can check in /var/log directory...dmesg possibly.

[rbmattis]

hdactl was running, restarted it, didn't fix the problem.

is there a thread explaining how to update fedora?

any idea why amahi crashed?

Thanks,
rbmattis

[bigfoot65]

To update Fedora, do:

Code: Select all

yum update

Hard to say what may have happened. It could be anything and a reboot of your HDA may or may not fix it. I have had to reboot my on occasion as it sometimes behaves like Windows (meaning that it needs a refresh).

[rbmattis]

Nope. Rebooting didn't fix it. Trying 'yum update'...

You must be using Greyhole. Looks like your OS drive is full. You will need to either use a Live CD to delete some files or maybe move some stuff to a different drive.

I could be wrong, but could be part of the issue.

Do a

Code: Select all

df -h

as root user and you can see if that is true.

[rbmattis]

[root@wintermute ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sde1 28G 11G 16G 42% /
tmpfs 1.9G 188K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/md0 5.4T 1.4T 3.8T 27% /var/hda/files/drives/drive1


Nope, not using greyhole either.

[bigfoot65]

Ok, maybe do

Code: Select all

yum clean all

and then try the update.

[rbmattis]

yum clean all
