ATI allows xorg.conf to have the normal customized settings you’re used to for X, but it relies on this little PCS database at /etc/ati/amdpcsdb for driver configuration. If you have a customized amdpcsdb, or a binary installation from your favorite package manager is screwing up your X when using the fglrx driver, try reverting back to the default ATI settings.

The default out-of-the-box installation should delete any additional anonymous users after installation and disallow remote logins completely, but it doesn’t. At least all you have to do is run the mysql_secure_installation script to do so.

If you want to add a user to all of the components in bugzilla, you don’t have to go through the gui. In fact, you can change just about anything in bugzilla by connecting to the database directly and modifying the tables. I find this much faster than repetitively navigating through the web front end. Connect to the database, match up user id’s to user names, figure out which components you want to modify, then update the component_cc table. Step-by-step.

Before I get to the problem, here’s the interesting part. If you list the files in /var/lib/rpm/ you will see the flat berkeley database files, but not all of them. And I didn’t notice there was one missing until I went to fix it. I’m not sure what caused/causes this, but I found a pretty simple solution.

If your dump was performed with the “–clean” option, you can skip the reinitializing of your databases to avoid duplicating data. This option, used with the “pg_dumpall” command will cause the restore to clean out all the objects in the database before performing the restore. If you didn’t include this option, then just delete the data directory and reinitialize the database as shown below.
