Hi , I have a server Linux with RedHat 8.0 showing the following
error during the boot
(WW) ATI(0) .Failed to setup write-combining range
(0xfd0000000,0x00000000)
(WW) ATI(0) .Failed to setup write-combining range
(0xfd0000000,0x00000000)
Error loading keymap /var/tmp/server-0-xkm
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list
If you encounter a server crash , please report the problem by filling
a bug report in the XFree86.org bugzilla at http://xfree86.org and/or
Red Hat bugzilla at http://bugzilla .readhat.com/bugzilla.When filling
your report , it is very important that you explain your problem in as
much detail as possible .After submitting the bug report, attach the
following the following files as uncompressed individual file
attachments using the bugzilla file attachment feature:
-X server log file: /var/log/XFree86.0.log
-Kernel log file: /var/log/messages
Fatal server error:
Could not open font 'fixed'
XIO:fatal IO error 104(Connection reset by peer) on X server:":0.0"
After 0 requests (o known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Fd 3 is not a master pty device(it is 4,1)
INIT id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
System loop searching for a monitor configuration (turning on and off
the monitor)
the hard disk was completely full so I freed some space without any
change.
What can I do?
PS I cannot reinstall the OS because this server is an evidence in a
trial
I mailed this question some time ago and I followed the suggestion
modifying the etc/inittab so now the X is disabled but after some
tries I discovered that a PDF generator needs X active to generate
PDF, I cannot change the PDF generator software so I 'm obliged to
reactivate Xwindow.
Where can I found this fonts and what's the procedure to install in
the system?
Thanks

Oh. Hmm. Do you need to run X Windows? Can you log into it with VNC or SSH and
run a remote display? And what does your full /etc/X11/*.conf file say, and
did it ever work?

No, you don't have to. If you can connect over a network, you can start X
remotely. When was the last time this worked? Maybe it needs its display
settings redone? |

If it is really evidence nothing should be redone and it should not be
booted up. The drives should be removed in the presence of witnesses,
installed into read-only external enclosures, cloned onto another system,
and then secured.
Sounds like it may already be too late, though. A competent expert for the
opposition may already have everything he needs to impeach your evidence.

You can the boot the machine from a LiveCD, such as Ubuntu, and mount
the drives as read-only.

You could but I wouldn't. It is not sufficient to not alter the drives.
You must also prove that you did not do so. The accepted way of doing that
(in the US) is to clone the drives using an external enclosure constructed
so as to make writing impossible.
If your investigations require booting the machine do it using copies of
the original drives. Booting with the original drives installed, even with
a live CD, gives the opposition an opening to create doubt as to the
integrity of the drives.

Such clean room procedures are hardly common place. Simply explaining the
issues to a prosecutor or investigator, and explaining what it costs in
man-hours to do such extra steps, is confusing to them and normally winds up
refused as unnecessary work. |

The interest appears to be in material that was used to generate pdf files.
The content files can be screwed up accidentally but not not made
incriminating accidentally.

It can be sworn that all the data is on the hard drive because it is.
Install that drive in another machine and read what you need to read.
Or use a live linux distribution to boot the machine.

I am not a lawyer, I just play one on TV. The words matter not the font in
which they are written.
May I suggest you tell your buddies they need the monitor it worked with to
avoid any work arounds?

I like the sound of those enclosures that make writing impossible. I
could do with something like that. Do you know where to get these?

The usual technique is to remove the 'write' jumper from the SCSI or PATA
drive, and put it in a normal drivebay or external enclosure. |

That will certainly do the job, though in some cases it might be politic to
use one of the "special" enclosures sold for forensic use (i.e., ordinarly
enclosures with some wires cut and the price doubled). Just search for
companies serving the computer forensics market.

Damn. I am using IDE here, and there is no write protect jumper on IDE drives.
I wonder if I can disconnect some pins on one of my shuttles to achieve
this.

Depends on the drive. Booting with a live Linux CD and imaging the drives into
another system, or a virtual system, without ever mounting them, is something
*I* would accept as 'not writing to the drives'.

It's "evidence" and you're messing with it that badly? Isn't that
tampering with evidence, immoral and illegal to boot? I hope the guy's
lawyer gets the case thrown out. Serves you right for trying to use
someone's computer against them.

This is exactly what I figured happened once someone's system was

Ok, get real. Schroedinger's law has meaning: any attempt to examine anything
will affect it. It's a matter of degree: both court and private parties in
tries are allowed to examine all sorts of documentation, and there is always a
risk of forgery in the process. Photographing documents exposes them to light
and usually air: Dusting a gun for fingerprints may make it harder to see
traces of blood, or make it easier.
You have to control how much you affect things, and what you did.
