In response to #6

$ echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state

That works for me too - but then there's no password protection on
resume...

Title:
  Ubuntu 22.04 not waking up after second suspend

Status in linux-signed-hwe-5.19 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After the first suspend it wakes up just fine - it's the second
  suspend after which the screen stays blank and keyboard doesn't react
  (although the power LED starts glowing). It happens if I close the
  laptop's lid or do a manual suspend via the system menu. It happens
  only recently (I think after some kernel update, but I'm not sure
  about this) - before it worked fine for month (since I installed
  Ubuntu).

  I have a recent Thinkpad T14s with a Ryzen CPU, Ubuntu 22.04 is the
  only OS (if that's important).

  What I tried:

  * turn off security chip in the BIOS (https://askubuntu.com/a/1412049/424896)
  * turn off Wayland and enable X11 (https://askubuntu.com/a/1412032/424896)
  * I looked through the logs in /var/log but couldn't find anything obvious to 
me (but I'm not a Linux guru).

[Bug 1703506] Re: SMT not supported by QEMU on AMD Ryzen CPU

2023-03-15 Thread Anthony Kamau
I was able to avoid rebooting after following @Andrii's instructions -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1703506/comments/19 - above:

systemctl stop libvirtd libvirtd-admin.socket libvirtd-ro.socket libvirtd.socket
sudo modprobe -r kvm_intel kvm
systemctl start libvirtd libvirtd-admin.socket libvirtd-ro.socket 
libvirtd.socket

These instructions to avoid rebooting might not work for those using a
non-Intel CPU as you'll have a different kernel module.  You can check
by running `lsmod | grep kvm`.

Cheers,
ak.

  SMT not supported by QEMU on AMD Ryzen CPU

  HyperThreading/SMT is supported by AMD Ryzen CPUs but results in this
  message when setting the topology to threads=2:

  qemu-system-x86_64: AMD CPU doesn't support hyperthreading. Please
  configure -smp options properly.

  Checking in a Windows 10 guest reveals that SMT is not enabled, and
  from what I understand, QEMU converts the topology from threads to
  cores internally on AMD CPUs. This appears to cause performance
  problems in the guest perhaps because programs are assuming that these
  threads are actual cores.

Hey Ian.

Nevermind.  After looking at the patch file, I realized what I needed to
do and I can report that my m6700 from 9 years ago (what a journey) can
finally make use of the mic on my Bluetooth headset.

Cheers,
Anthony.

Title:
  Load Broadcom firmware for Dell Bluetooth device [413c:8197]

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Broadcom Bluetooth kernel module supports loading patches for
  specific hardware devices. Which devices require patchram support is
  defined in an array of structs in the kernel module `btusb`, which
  allow matching by Vendor ID and, optionally, Product ID.

  The Dell-branded device `413c:8197` requires the patch
  `BCM20702A1-413c-8197.hcd`[1] to be loaded in order for HSP/HFP
  functionality to work (A2DP and AVRCP work without the patch).
  However, the patch is not sought for this device by `btusb`.

  In 2011, `413c:8197` was included in the module[2], but not marked as
  requiring patchram. Later, in 2017, a blanket entry was added for all
  Dell-branded (`413c`) devices[3], marking them as requiring patchram.
  However, the previous entry for `413c:8197` was not removed and
  appears to block the patchram requirement from being added for this
  device (presumably the algorithm stops searching after the first
  match). The code stands like so:

  ```
  static const struct usb_device_id btusb_table[] = {
  ...
/* Broadcom BCM20702A0 */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x413c, 0x8197) },
  ...
/* Dell Computer - Broadcom based  */
{ USB_VENDOR_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x413c, 0xff, 0x01, 0x01),
  .driver_info = BTUSB_BCM_PATCHRAM },
  ```

  I would like to request removal of the earlier entry to facilitate
  patchram support for device `413c:8197`.

  I have tested this as working on my Dell Precision M6700 running
  Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel `5.4.0-71-generic`.

Hi Ian.

I've had my m6700 since 2012 and have never been able to use any

Any chance you can provide pointers on what incantations one needs to
call upon to get this fixed like you've done on your laptop?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1603430] Re: Firefox dropdowns in wrong location

2019-11-15 Thread Anthony Kamau
I too have been seeing this issue on my Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS installation
and after living with it for a long long time, decided to hunt down
reports of others with the issue.  As I now see, it is a known issue.
That sort of made me feel better - specifically that misery loves
company - :(.

Here is how I can reliably reproduce this issue on my system:

Configure at least 2 workspaces:
  On the left workspace, open an application - say Chrome
  On the right workspace I have Firefox

If I switch between workspaces using keyboard shortcuts, the right-click
context menu on Firefox continues to function as expected.  Also, if I
click the Workspace Switcher in launcher and select the different
workspaces, again Firefox context menu functions as expected.

However, if I click the Chrome icon in the launcher and then click the
Firefox icon (in essence I'm switching workspaces indirectly), the
Firefox context menu appears at random locations - mainly along the
edges of the screen - I am yet to see it appear in a random location
away from screen edges (see attached screenshot).

I have noticed there are several ways to restore the placement of the context 
menu:
  * Middle-click the title bar (or the panel if Firefox is maximized)
  * Switch to another application running in the same workspace and return to 
Firefox
  * Move the Firefox window
  * Resize the Firefox window

There could be other ways to restore the context menu, but the few I
mention above work reliably in my environment.

I'm hoping that when I migrate to Ubuntu 20.04 next year the issue will
have been resolved.

  Firefox dropdowns in wrong location

Status in Linux Mint:
  New
Status in cinnamon-desktop-environment package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64bit.

  Steps to reproduce:
   * Do a fresh install.
   * Run mintupdate and update all packages.
   * Run firefox. 
   * Start right clicking on the page to open the context menu. Resize the 
window and perhaps move it around the screen a couple of times. Right click 
some more. 
   * Observer that, eventually, the context menu will start to appear in 
incorrect locations on the screen. The same also happens with the search bar, 
text fields and any other dropdown box.

  In the worst embodiment of the bug, the menu opens underneath the
  pointer and treats the release of the mouse button as a click, and so
  does things the user does not want to do.

  I believe the root cause is the following bug in GTK+ 3.10.8. Firefox
  switched over to using GTK+3 in version 46 which is when this bug
  appeared and has been there ever since.

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758609
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1022241

  Mozilla aren't going to fix it because it's a GTK bug. GTK have
  already fixed it. But Mint 17.3 remains on GTK+ 3.10.8 which does not
  have the patch.

  Please roll out the patch for us 17.3 users who cannot upgrade. I can
  confirm that the problem is solved in Mint 18.

[Bug 1640970] Re: 16.10: VPN Connections -> Configure VPN grayed out

2017-03-17 Thread Anthony Kamau
I'm also going to add to this.

I have just done a clean install of 16.04 LTS and OpenVPN connects
intermittently.  Despite installing openvpn, network-manager-openvpn,
and network-manager-openvpn-gnome, the "Configure VPN..." option remains
grayed out.

In addition, after creating my VPN profile via 'Edit Connections...',
I'm not able to consistently create a VPN tunnel to the office.
Attached are 2 files: success and failure.

Both files contain pertinent lines from /var/log/syslog with success
showing a success full connection and failure showing a failed
connection.

In both cases, I get a notification pop-up that suggests that the vpn
connected successfully :(.

When the VPN fails to connect, the 'tun0' interface has no IP Address
and is in a down state.

[Bug 1393842] Re: libvirt does not grant qemu-guest-agent channel perms

2016-03-26 Thread Anthony Kamau
In comparison, when attempting to lunch a VitualBox VM, it fails with a
slightly better error message at least directing one to investigate what
else would be using a hypervisor.  But it also suggests some rather
drastic steps to do with recompiling the kernel to remove KVM kernel
extension - wow:

==
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine core-plus-vm.

VT-x is being used by another hypervisor (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).

VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel
extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).

[Bug 1393842] Re: libvirt does not grant qemu-guest-agent channel perms

2016-03-26 Thread Anthony Kamau
I've been struggling with this for nearly 2 hours before I realized that
I was running a virtualbox vm in headless mode.  Was trying to create a
qemu-kvm vm and it kept failing with symptoms similar to those reported
here.

What would be good is getting qemu-kvm to at least check if another
hypervisor is currently running, then allude that fact to the moronic
end-user and save the sucker from wasting 2 hours on a Saturday
afternoon chasing his tail!

This is the error I was getting:

[Bug 1457078] Re: L2TP client support for PSK removed from 15.04/15.10

2015-12-02 Thread Anthony Kamau
This begs 2 questions from my end:

1. How does the removal of such a critical VPN component get past QA?
2. How is it that the very vulnerable PPTP VPN is still readily available while 
a more secure option gets tossed to the gutter?

Can anyone at Canonical please answer these questions?

2015-11-22 Thread Anthony Kamau
I too am getting the same issue.  However, for me the crash doesn't
happen until I try to resize the window - like exiting from full screen
via F11 or even just exiting the application.  In addition, just
attempting to switch to a different workspace also causes X/Unity to
hang!

On my system, CTRL+ALT+Backspace has never worked.  However, I can
CTRL+ALT+F1 and from there restart lightdm and all is well again!

than a bug.  Logical volumes that are not necessary for system boot
and/or are not on the primary disk where the OS is installed are not
made available / mounted on (re)boot!

It is much better that the system comes up rather than waiting for a
user input at (re)boot.

Case closed, at least for me!

  LVM filesystems not mounted at boot

Bug description:
  My system has a root filesystem in an LVM logical volume, backed up by
  two MD RAID-1 arrays.  It fails to boot propertly after upgrading to
  kubuntu gutsy gibbon prerelease (latest packages as of today).  In
  order to boot it, I have to specify the break=mount boot option, then
  subsequently run

  lvm vgscan
  lvm vgchange -a y

[Bug 1065400] Re: Support for loading Broadcom bluetooth firmware

2014-06-02 Thread Anthony Kamau
Hi there.

I'm running Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (14.04) 64bit and I'm affected by this
bug.

By following the instructions here (especially comment #101 by Chris
(poser) on 2013-09-15), I was able to get HSP/HFP working on my system.
I realized something was broken when I tried to pair my Laptop with a
PLCM VS500 (Voice Station conference phone) and couldn't.  I was
especially angry when a friend running a MacBook Air (Grrr, don't get me
started...) was able to immediately pair and use the headset.  My anger
brought me here and I can say all is well.

  Broadcom bluetooth chips require a tool called patchram uploader [1]
  to load firmware. This applies to at least BCM20702 and BCM43142.
  Although some of the devices have an OTPROM that contains required
  firmware, but it is found that these devices would not have HFP/HSP
  support unless a upgraded firmware is loaded via patchram uploader.

  This tool requires hci device to do the firmware loading, but this may
  cause some race condition between patchram tool and bluetoothd or
  something that also works on hci interface.

  Also it needs some hooks to make firmware loads after bootup, s3,  s4,
  rfkill, and device hotplug events. Implement this loader in kernel
  module would make things more easier.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1181106] Re: Failed to change profile to A2DP in 13.04 (Raring), 13.10 (saucy), and 14.04 (trusty)

2014-05-08 Thread Anthony Kamau
I have the same problem and the solution for me was to manually change the 
profile.  This post on the Ubuntu forums was very helpful:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/287254/ubuntu-13-04-bluetooth-a2dp-does-not-work

In essence, you need to run the following command to switch profile to
a2dp:

sudo pactl list cards short
sudo pactl set-card-profile card name from above step a2dp

The interesting thing for me is that when I initially connected the
Logitech Mini Boombox, it was found with no problems and it worked
flawlessly.  However, I forgot to connect the laptop to a power source
and when it finally shutdown in the night, I could not get it to work
again in the morning - not even after purging and reinstalling all
bluetooth related packages as well as pulseaudio.  In the end, the two
commands above worked just fine.

Status in Bluez Utilities:

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I upgraded to 13.04 recently and my A2DP profile, which had been
  working great under 12.10 is suddenly gone.  Neither my blueman applet
  nor the built-in bluetooth manager applet can connect my external
  bluetooth speaker to the A2DP profile.  They can connect to the
  bluetooth device itself just fine.

  Steps I'm using:

  * using blueman, I can connect to the external bluetooth speaker and view the 
device in the devices listing
  * I can connect the device to the Audio sink and I get a message saying it is 
now connected and will show in the PulseAudio mixer
  * After connecting the external speaker to the audio sink, I can also see the 
device in the Play sound through listing in the Sound system control panel, 
but the icon has a circle with a line through it.
  * but if I right-click the device and choose Audio Profile from the context 
menu and try to select High Fidelity Playback (A2DP) as the new profile, I 
get an error message stating failed to change profile to a2dp

  I've already added Enable=Socket in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf,
  without that I can't pair my headset. Now I can pair it, but I can't
  activate the A2DP profile.

  When I try to activate it, I see this message in my syslog :
  pulseaudio[2603]: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Profile has no 
transport

  I tried the kernel 3.9.0 because of a sound problem with my soundcard,
  this kernel fixed my soundcard problem, but A2DP still doesn't work

two hands than one to scroll though a list of items - really?

I hope that Mozilla developers do not go down the same road and start
requiring us to depress ctrl+shift while scrolling in Firefox, then they
go ahead and state it is intended behaviour - just plain silly!

Well, I guess I'll stop ranting to deaf ears and move on to Arch!

Ciao,
ak.

[Bug 147216] Re: LVM filesystems not mounted at boot

2014-04-21 Thread Anthony Kamau
Forgot to add that the LV's are for media files and virtualbox vms so
the system could otherwise boot (if I chose to skip mounting the LV's
via 'S').  I'd than still have to run 'vgchange -ay' then manually mount
the partitions after the system was up.

Cheers,
ak.

[Bug 147216] Re: LVM filesystems not mounted at boot

2014-04-21 Thread Anthony Kamau
Just wanted to add that after doing a vgrename without first doing a
vgchange -an, I ended up with a system that could not activate the LV's
on boot.  I had to drop to a root shell (via 'M') then type vgchange
-ay followed by ctrl+d to get a system (re)boot to complete
successfully.  I'll add that I'm not sure if the vgrename without first
making unavailable caused the issue!!!

Anyhow, after much googling, I came across this bug and after following
the suggestion by Mark Tomich, namely:

SUBSYSTEM==block, ACTION==add|change, ENV{ID_TYPE}==disk, \
 RUN+=watershed sh -c '/sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a y'

I can now (re)boot without it stopping to wait for manual intervention.

My system:

$ lsb_release -a

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1273832] Re: [fglrx] Lockscreen/lid-close xserver freeze if UXA accel used.

2014-02-17 Thread Anthony Kamau
UPDATE:

I got tired of the workaround and reverted to gnome-screensaver which
has since fixed my blank screen w/ mouse issue:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop gnome-screensaver
sudo apt-get remove --purge xscreensaver*  sudo apt-get autoremove

I'm now back to a bland blank screen as my screensaver but at least it
resumes every time!

Title:
  [fglrx] Lockscreen/lid-close xserver freeze if UXA accel used.

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a Haswell system, if AccelMethod UXA selected in xorg.conf, xserver freezes
  (moveable cursor, but frozen and unresponsive desktop) each time the screen is
  locked (either via inactivity or lid close on laptop) . 

  This freeze does not occur if SNA AccelMethod is selected.
  This freeze can also be avoided if vblank_mode=0 is used, even
  if UXA acceleration selected.

  1) Ubuntu release: 13.10, but I also tested this on
  12.04 LTS, in which case I got exactly the same bug, only
  the frozen screen was blank rather than frozen desktop image.

  2) Expected result:

  No freeze when locking screen/closing lid. Just
  the login screen greeter.

  3) How to reproduce:

  On Haswell system, in xorg.conf:

  Section Device
  Identifier  Intel Graphics
  Driver  intel
  Option  AccelMethod  UXA #bug occurs
  # Option  AccelMethod  SNA #(default) no bug!
  EndSection

  reboot.  Try closing the lid or locking screen a number of times
  (normally within a few attempts you will see the freeze).

  4) Resolution:

  Short term solution is to switch to a tty and back.

  Alternatively, boot with the SNA acceleration method instead.

  Another alternative: use a dri config file in home directory:
  ~/.drirc containing

  device screen=0 driver=dri2
 application name=Default
 option name=vblank_mode value=0/
/application
  /device

  to turn off vsync.

  5) Importance for fglrx driver users with AMD cards:

  fglrx and pxpress by default force the i915 driver to use UXA mode,
  thus when selecting the iGPU users of fglrx will experience this freezing bug.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1273832] Re: [fglrx] Lockscreen/lid-close xserver freeze if UXA accel used.

2014-02-15 Thread Anthony Kamau
Recently I underwent a botched nvidia-prime install that left a bitter taste in 
my mouth:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1249067

I had to purge my system of all nvidia drivers (apt-get --purge remove 
nvidia\*), then reinstall them:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

After reinstallation, when my screen goes blank after idling, sometimes
it resumes to the desktop, other times I'm left at a black screen with
moving cursor that appears to indicate the screen is actually there, but
just not visible.  The mouse cursor will change from a pointer to a hand
(if it happens to hover over a hyperlink in the browser), or a 'I' (when
it hovers over a text input area).  I kept searching for a solution that
related to the Xorg system, but everything I threw at it (the little I
know about X) didn't bear fruit.  In the end, I just simply had to go to
a console (CTRL+ALT+F1) to restart lightdm to get my desktop back.  When
working with multiple windows and having many applications open, losing
the desktop can cause one to experiance weird emotions and exhibit
irrational actions; and it gets really old, really fast!

To cut a long story short, today I got fedup with it and started killing
anything that interracts with the display system (sometimes fatally that
I had to reboot by holding power button down for 5secs) to get this
sorted.  Interestingly, the culprit appears to be compiz.  I can now
duplicate this easily:

1. launch screensaver preferences (i use xscreensaver)
2. select a GL screensaver (the black screen with mouse occurs more often with 
such a screensaver)
3. click Preview button then hit the ESC key to return to desktop repeatedly 
until the black screen+mouse appears
4. CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to console window 1 and run the command: kill -9 $(pgrep 
compiz)
5 CTRL+ALT+F7 to return to GUI desktop - you should see your desktop minus the 
open windows
6 move mouse cursor to get compiz to reactivate itself and bring all your open 
applications into view

Hopefully this workaround will keep people like me sane for a little
longer...

Cheers,
ak.

2014-02-14 Thread Anthony Kamau
Let me add that although nvidia-prime maybe working for some, the above
statement should really have quantified it more to be specific to my use
case:

Dell Precision M6700 w/ Optimus Tech
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor 
Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104GLM [Quadro K3000M] 
(rev ff)

This combination does not work with nvidia-prime.

[Bug 1249067] Re: nvidia prime causes freeze at start up

2014-02-14 Thread Anthony Kamau
In the end, I just gave up on nvidia-prime and went back to bumblebee:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

Hopefully by the time I'm migrating to the next LTS version, nvidia-
prime will be ready for prime time - ;)!


Cheers,
ak.

[Bug 1249067] Re: nvidia prime causes freeze at start up

2014-02-14 Thread Anthony Kamau
Let me add that although nvidia-prime maybe working for some, the above
statement should really have quantified it more to be specific to my use
case:

Dell Precision M6700 w/ Optimus Tech
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor 
Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104GLM [Quadro K3000M] 
(rev ff)

This combination does not work with nvidia-prime.

Cheers,
ak.

I did not have any problems when running the nvidia-prime v0.4.2!  When
I remove the quiet and splash entries from my kernel line in grub.cfg, I
hear a beep before the laptop freezes.  REISUB doesn't even bring it
back to life; only power button for ~5 seconds gets it to shutdown then
I can restart!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1249067] Re: nvidia prime causes freeze at start up

2014-02-04 Thread Anthony Kamau
This morning (20140205 @  ~8am AEDST) accepted an update on my system
(nvidia-prime amongst others).  However, I was unable to login
afterwards.  After prowling my /var/log folder, I came across /var/log
/nvidia-prime-upstart.log (attached) which suggested that nvidia-prime
was the issue.  I was then able to login to my desktop (degraded
graphics mode - max res 1024x768) and do a Google search which brougt me
here.

Having never manually submitted (I believe my laptop automatically
collects info about my laptop before it submits a bug when something
crashes) a bug report on Launchpad, please bear with me:

Laptop details:

Maybe you could use 'exclude=ecryptfs*' (or whatever is causing

update.  Once the issue is resolved, don't forget to remove the exclude
line for future updates???

Just a thought.

Re: [CentOS] Yum update gone bad...

2009-05-16 Thread Anthony Kamau
Here's some additional info to the problem:

I created a VM to watch it boot up so I could see what was happening
where.  Well, the first step where the scrolling text stops is as shown
below:

SELinux:  Disabled at runtime.
Type=1404 audit(1242405997.079:2): selinux=0 auid=4294967295
ses=4294967295

On my main server, nothing else appears here until I get the login
prompt.

On the VM I see right after the SELinux stuff above the following:

INIT: version 2.86 booting
  Welcome.

So what would cause messages spewed by INIT not show up and also the
lack of the kernel selection screen and also kill output to the serial
console?

[CentOS] Yum update gone bad...

2009-05-15 Thread Anthony Kamau
Morning list!

I have a situation that was brought about by a system crash during a yum
update.  The motherboard suffered a catastrophic failure due to busted
CAPS.  Lucky for me (or so I thought at the time), I had a spare,
identical motherboard as the one that failed.  I replaced the dud board
and rebooted.  This machine runs headless and is my primary
(personal/home) mail server.  I normally access the booting console via
hyper terminal when I need to change boot parameters or just watch the
system boot up!

Getting to the point, nothing comes up at all on the terminal screen.
So I hooked up a monitor and keyboard (even a mouse) to check what was
going on.  What I noticed immediately was that the kernel screen
selection screen did not appear!  Instead, I just got a message at the
bottom on the screen stating Grub Loading Stage 2 or something to that
effect.  Straight from there, was the usual scrolling text up to the
point where SELinux starts.  Then nothing displays at all until the
final login screen.  Not even the Nash screen that prompts one to
enter I for interactive start-up appeared!

Could someone enlighten me on what I could check?  I have reinstalling
all packages that were installed just before and after the system crash
to no avail.

This is a system that was running CentOS 5.3 final and I was updating
several packages including upgrading the kernel from 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5
to 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.

Cheers,
tkb.

 hi Kai,

  You can't.

 Thats what I thought, I have been looking into using certificates and
 passphrases and that will have to be it!


Interesting - why not do a pull from the CentOS box?  This would only
work if the machines are local to each other!

I mount Windows Server 2003 as follows:

mount //[servername]/C$ /winmnts/[servername]/cdrive \
  -o credentials=/root/sysaccess

/root/sysaccess - contains just two lines:
username=[administrative account]
password=[administrative account password]

Also, you'll need to have created the path
/winmnts/[servername]/cdrive beforehand (as if you hadn't guessed that
already)!

From here, I run the rsync command without the need for the -e option.

Of course, if the servers are in geographically different locations,
then Kai's link is the way to go!


Cheers,
Tkb.

 I want to add mod_security to my Apache server running CentOS 5.3 and
 am
 trying to find a repository to get it from.  I found it in EPEL, but
 they have version 2.1.7, which is over a year old according to what I
 found on the modsecurity.org website.  Is there a repository which is
 keeping this up to date?  Or should I just build it from source?

Interesting that you are finding version 2.1.7 - just did a quick check
and I see version 2.5.9 on epel:

 After performing an update from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 with yum update I
 have
 an error with clamav-milter
 The clamav-milter won't start.

 [r...@is3 sysconfig]# service clamav-milter restart

 SOCKET_ADDRESS=local:/var/run/clamd.socket

Had the same error on upgrade!  It appears that ClamAV people have
decided to do away with /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter altogether.

Get rid of the file above and modify /etc/clamav-milter.conf instead and
make the necessary changes.  Most important is to comment out the
Example line near the top of that file.

 Any idea what can be done?  They seem to be more nuance that not, but
 if
 I am in init 3 mode and in VI and get one of these messages in the
 middle of editing some file, well, I typically :q! out and start
 over.


man dmesg suggests that running the command `dmesg -n1' should stop you
getting messages on the console other than panic messages!

But all in all, you probably want to fix the issue to avoid filling up
your logs with crap messages; for that, I have no solution!

 It doesn't matter if its in resolv.conf you don't seem to have a
 working DNS provider.

 I would start there, use nslookup, can you solve anything? Check with
 your resolv.conf, what name server are you using, can you ping it? Try
 another name server?


If all else fails, then you can use opendns.com - they provide their
services for free!

 Hi,

 We have a spamassassin server filtering our companies emails
 currently.
 Each day we recieve an email from the root account of our
 server overviewing
 the previous days spam filtered emails, network status and
 disk status.

 As i was not the one who setup the server, i'm not sure
 exactly how it's all
 configured.

 Could someone tell me what configuration file i need to
 change in order to
 change the email address this email is being sent to?

 Regards,

To change the address where cron job messages are sent, follow
directions given by Rubin Bennett.

If you only want to change where logwatch messages go, then add a
'MailTo = ' entry into the file '/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf' -
defaults are saved in the file
'/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf'

If however, you want to redirect all messages sent to user 'root' to
another user account or even to a group, here's what you need to do:

1/  Create a new user account - a good name is 'sysnotify'
2/  Locate the line starting with 'root:' in the file '/etc/aliases' and
change it to look like this:
root:   sysnotify
3/  Create the file 'home/sysnotify/.forward' and add the follwing to
it:
us...@domain.com,us...@domain.com,us...@domain.com,[local logon id],...

You can add as many e-mail addresses as you like as long as you comma
separate them!  If you want the message sent a user on the same system
that has an account on the box, then you can simply enter that users
logon id.  If you want a copy left in the 'sysnotify' account, then you
need to enter '\sysnotify' into that file.  The '\' ensure that a loop
is not created!

The assumption I made for the above is that you are running a Red Hat
Linux based Linux server such as Red Hat itself, Fedora Core, or CentOS.

Cheers,
Anthony.

I experienced something similar and it turned out that if you run an update

 Do you have -x in your call to spamc?
 
 

Thanks for that.  I added that option to the startup script and restarted
spamc (service spamass-milter restart) then killed spamd (service
spamassassin stop).

Oddly enough, messages are still being delivered by sendmail!!!  I then
checked the process list and saw the following:

/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m5 -H -x -q -u spambucket -r /var/run/spamd.pid
spamass-milter -p /var/run/spamass.sock -f -x

Further reading of `man spamc' revealed that option `-f' is non-existent (at
least not mentioned in my spamc man pages); there's only a `-F' option - so
why do I have this option that appears to do nothing for me?  Could it be
that it was meant to be `-F'?

Well, I removed that option from the startup script and on trying to start
the service, it hang indefinitely!  I then added `-F' in its place and I got
the following output:

###

This is when I realized that the man page falsely states what the `-x'
option does, and as seen above, there isn't even a -F option as stated in
the man pages.  From the above, it is clear what `-x' does:

-x: pass email address through alias and virtusertable expansion.

I also understand why when I killed the Ctrl-C'd from the hang session, I
got the [OK] message; the process was not forking to the background!

So, is it that I have a real old version of spamass-milter?  Odd thing is
that I cannot find a newer version!!!

OT Alert: Forward low scoring SPAM to sa-learn.

2007-07-16 Thread Anthony Kamau
Hello all.

I'm faced with a dilemma on how to use sa-learn with mail forwarded from
a user's inbox on Exchange to the sendmail server.  Since we just
recently started using sendmail as a front end server, our bayes system
is still in its infancy and spam is getting through to user inboxes with
scores lower than our threshold of 10 and thus not being clearly
identified as spam on the subject line.  My intention is to have a user
forward spam back to sendmail server and use sa-learn to help the
scoring system get better fast.

Here's what I've done so far:
I have created two email addresses for this purpose;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for spam and [EMAIL PROTECTED] for false
positives.  I have created a connector that forwards all email destined
for mail.domain.com back to the sendmail server and messages are getting
into the appropriate mailboxes.

The next step is what has me stunned - is there a standard marker to
look out for that segregates the attachment from the mail sending the
attachment?

Any help would be mightily appreciated.

Cheers,
AK.

I've checked my logs and noticed the following entry whenever I restart
the spamassassin service:

config: dup unknown type msa_networks, Mail::SpamAssassin::NetSet

Is this something I should be worried about?

Thanks a ton Daryl.

I've patched my SA 3.1.7 per [1] and it is working as expected.

As long as you don't have any users calling clear_msa_networks in 
their per user config I believe it's a harmless warning.

In any case, attached is a patch to correct the issue.

Daryl,

You'll be glad to know that I'm now rejecting at RCPT instead of blindly
forwarding to the exchange box!  We don't have numerous updates in
active directory so for now I'm doing a manual export to the sendmail
box.

Cheers,
AK.

In any case, spamming people with backscatter in the form of NDRs from 
your system is completely unacceptable.  You have at least three options

to prevent this; (i) configure out how to do LDAP queries from Sendmail 
against your Exchange system to verify addresses, or (ii) use a milter 
such as Anthony Howe's milter-ahead (which I believe he licenses for 90 
Euros), or (iii) export all of your addresses to your Sendmail box.

Thanks Kris.

I Googled for MIMEDefang and AD and came across this post [1] by Brian
at RoaringPenguine; he suggests not to use MIMEDefang as it imposes a
heavy load on Exchange/AD on Windows 2003.  He provides an alternative
by releasing 2 scripts that automate the harvesting of email addresses
from AD via LDAP and dumps those addresses into the accessdb file to
filter on.

Not wanting to cause performance issues on the Exchange box, I'll try
this 'easy' way out first!

Check out MIMEDefang, http://www.mimedefang.org.  Among other things, it

can do exactly this in several ways, and may also help with your problem

of spam-tagged mail having the spam tags stripped off in some cases.

I've done a little bit of reading on msa_netowrks and it appears I need
to upgrade to SA 3.2.x to get this added benefit - correct?

That's only available with 3.2, though, so you'll either need to patch 
SA [1] or do something else [2].

RE: Problems with Received: header checks and ALL_TRUSTED rule...

2007-06-13 Thread Anthony Kamau
Hey Daryl, et al,

I've just discovered something rather interesting after I enabled the
msa_networks feature in local.cf.  What's happening is this:

1/ spam arrives at the sendmail box from someone who has used a
non-existent email address in our domain

2/ spamassassin clearly marks this as spam, sendmail adds the necessary
headers, modifies the subject and relays to exchange

3/ if exchange is configured to send a copy of received email to an
external account OR the message is destined for a non-existent mailbox,
exchange will initiate a connection with sendmail either for forwarding
mail or for NDR

4/ since the exchange box is now trusted via msa_networks, the email
receives a clean bill of health from spamassassin and sendmail proceeds
to remove the headers previously added for the incoming message except
for the subject line which is left with the previously changed header!

How can I tell sendmail milter not to remove any of the headers as the
email message is really still spam???

Although we could drop all spam and forget about this whole issue,
company policy dictates that any email destined to an existing recipient
mailbox will be delivered be it spam or not (false positives in the past
have left many weary of lost email)!


Cheers,
AK.



RE: Problems with Received: header checks and ALL_TRUSTED rule...

Thanks Robert.

And you are correct - the exchange rejects mail destined to non-existent
mailboxes!

Due to lack of time, I have not yet found a quick method to have
sendmail authenticate against active directory so I've instructed
sendmail to relay all mail and leave it to exchange to deal with
rejection and NDR's.
