  Assuming you are running a gnome desktopthere is authorizations

  you should be able to adjust the authorizations for device access...
  including scanners.
 
 In fact... as jeff says system-preferences-system-Authorisations
 
 Then in the left hand pane, scroll down until you see device-access.
 As a sub-item of that entry you'll see Directly access scanners.
 Select that. In the right hand pane you'll see (amongst other things)
 Implicit authorisations ... click the Edit button. Hopefully it is
 self explanatory from then on...
 

Bingo. Thank you so much.
Is it possible to grant these authorizations remotely through the terminal?

Re: SANE can't find device if used through VNC - F9

2008-12-02 Thread redhatdude
  Hello,
 I got a F9 machine that I access through VNC. If I'm at the machine, I can 
 open 
 SANE and scan without any problems. If I, however, do this remotely through 
 VNC, 
  SANE cannot find my HP scanner. 
 I tried the same using X11 from a Mac and it didn't work either. However, if 
 I 
  login as root and launch SANE, it works, if finds the scanner and scans.
  Any idea how to solve this issue?
  Thanks,
  EJ
 
 Anybody? I'm still searching for an answer on this issue. Still unresolved.

 When going in remotely, are you logging in as root or as a normal
 user?  That may have something to do with it.  In the past, some SANE
 backends didn't run if you weren't root.  I thought that was fixed, but
 it's a possibility.
 
 I have a Canon LIDE at home and it works fine as me or as root.

When I log in as a normal user I can't use the scanner, SANE won't find it. If 
I log in as root, yes, SANE finds the scanner and allows me to scan. However, I 
don't want to give root access to people who want to scan.

 This is probably ConsoleKit/PolicyKit in action. When you log in sat
 at the machine, you're a console user with physical access to the
 machine, and so you get permissions to access the hardware. When
 logging in remotely the permissions don't get set to allow you to
 access connected hardware. I suggest having a read about
 ConsoleKit/PolicyKit and working out what policy you need to change to
 get the permissions you want when logging in via VNC.

 A few things to check on, on a text-mode screen (Ctrl-Alt-F2):

Re: F9 - F10 Upgrade Left only GRUB prompt

2008-11-26 Thread redhatdude


-- Original message --
From: Richard England [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I used preupgrade (1.0.0-1.fc9.noarch) to upgrade a Dell Latitude laptop 
 from F9 to F10. Every thing seemed to go fine but on reboot I'm getting 
 only a GRUB prompt.
 
 The machine had a fresh F9 install (not an upgrade) and was fully up to 
 date. 
 
 Is this a case of grub.conf being out of wack or a naming issued with 
 the disk partitions? I've been googling and found a couple of things to 
 check out but I had to abandon the machine at work so I won't be able 
 to get back to it until later in the week to get more details.
 
 Any insight about what to look for or possible remedial actions would be 
 most gratefully appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 
 ~~R

Hey Richard,
It's happened to me a few times in the past. Reinstall GRUB. If you don't know 
how to do it let me know and I'll post the instructions. If you look in the 
Fedora list archives, you'll find them there too since I've posted them before.

 I am new to both linux and fedora and I dearly love what I have experienced 
 thus far except for e-mail. Now because I receive a fair share and must 
 answer it would be nice to be able to do so from my linux program, but that 
 has eluded me thus far.
 My DSL and e-mail provider is att yahoo and I get these nasty notes that I 
 am sending and receiving not within the scope of their SSL protocol. Would 
 they shut me down? I have not a clue. Is there anyone out there with a 
 viable option. Would I not experience the same thing with a fetch it program 
 of some sort.
 
 Allen
 

Allen,
You hijacked another thread. Don't do this please, it creates confusion. 
Another thing, don't post at the top, do it at the bottom. It's easier to 
follow up this way.
To answer your question. You won't get shut down. You're the only one at risk 
if you're not using SSL (encryption) for your emails. They're just warning you, 
I guess.
Using Evolution in Linux, set up your account to use TLS or SSL in security 
where it says Use Secure Connection. In Authentication Type, click on the 
button that says Check for Supported Types. It'll communicate with the server 
and let you know which type of security you can select from the drop down menu 
next to the button. You have to do the same for both outgoing and incoming mail.
You need to know the address for your servers, both incoming and outgoing mail 
servers. Incoming is either POP or IMAP, outgoing is SMTP. I give you the name 
of the protocols in case they send it like that and you get confused as what is 
what.
Hope this helps.
EJ

Craig,
I appreciate the help.
I have zero experience with Windows. I've only used MacOS and Linux  my whole

I should create a samba users group in the system and add my samba users to it 
or use an existing group. I'm lost here.

Re: smb not mounting share for specific user (SOLVED)

   Hello,
 I added a user with useradd. Then added the user to smb with smbpasswd -a. 
 Then 
   restarted smb.
  Now, I can mount the samba share using my user name. However, when I try to 
  mount the share with the newly created user, even though I log in and smb 
   accepts the user and password, it gives me the following error:
   The volume Storage could not be mounted
   Anybody knows what the issue is here?
   Thanks,
   EJ
   
  I forgot to add the user to the valid user of the share.
 
 1. it is more useful to use 'groups' instead of users...
 
 You can set the group ownership of the share and folders inside...
i.e. image /home/samba/files is a file share for samba users
chgrp samba_users /home/samba/files -R
chmod g+w,g+w /home/samba/files -R
add @samba_users to share (valid users = @samba_users)
 
 now all files and folders are owned by 'samba_users' group and all new
 files and folders will likewise be owned by 'samba_users' group
 
 2. You don't need to restart samba after changes to smb.conf as the
 configuration file is reloaded automatically every minute (I think), but
 if it makes you feel better to restart samba service...by all means.
 
 Craig

Maybe a dumb question. Do I need to create a new group in the system with 
groupadd samba_users?
Thanks a lot.

 not a dumb question at all but a clear indication that you haven't found
 samba documentation that is worth following so let me first point out...
 
 http://samba.org/samba/docs/
 
 which I would unhesitatingly declare the best open source documentation
 available
 see the 'Samba 3 HowTo' and 'Samba by Example'
 
 The issue is that Windows has a lot of pre-conceived notions of users,
 groups, ID's and samba tries to accommodate them in ways that seem
 confusing to UNIX/Linux users but are pretty obvious to those familiar
 with Windows Networking concepts.
 
 The idea is that you 'map' samba groups to Unix groups.
 
 The documentation on the subject begins here...
 http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html#id38254
 8
 
 so if all the users were part of the Linux group 'users', you could
 conceivably map the 'Samba Domain Group' called Domain Users to the
 posix group 'users'
 
 net groupmap list
 
 will print a list of current samba groups (no doubt 'unassigned')
 
 Craig

You're right. I should've gone to samba.org in the first place. I just followed 
a few HOWTOs I googled.
Do I need to use groups and do the mapping if most of our users are on macs and 
we're only using samba trying to accomodate two Windows users? The boss and a 
sales person want access to design files.
Thanks,
EJ

samba and virtual users

2008-07-06 Thread redhatdude
Hello,
Is it possible to create a smb user without having to create a system user for 
it?
Using the command smbpasswd -a NewUser fails with error: Failed to modify 
password entry for user NewUser.
I entered encrypt password = yes and smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

 You can connect to the box via ssh and forward you vnc port.
 ex:
 ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Then connect your vnc client to localhost on the forwarded port.
 vncviewer 127.0.0.1:5900
 selinux can run normally on your box and the vnc traffic is secured as well.

That's what I do and selinux may run normally but it won't let me start my 
Desktop.

Below is the output of audit.log when I start the vncserver

Get the live CD or the Fedora 9 Installer DVD.
Make sure your computer BIOS is configured to start from the cd/dvd, this is in 
case it doesn't boot up from the cd/dvd.
From the CD open the terminal. From the Installer DVD select Rescue Mode.
From the CD terminal become root by doing: su -
There's no password.
From the DVD no need, you fall into a terminal.
1-Let's find your boot partition

fdisk -l

You'll get something like this among other things.
   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *   1  25  200781   83  Linux
/dev/sda2  26486638885332+  8e  Linux LVM

See the asterisk? That's your boot partition, sda1. So now you know.

2- Let's restart the grub boot loader

type grub and press enter. You'll get this.

# grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.


GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
   completions of a device/filename.]
grub 

3- At the grub prompt let's select the partition with the command root (hd0,0). 
Zero means the first one.
This is the output.

grub root (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

If your boot partition is sda2 then the command would be: root (hd0,0). For 
sdb1: root (hd1,0). For sdb2: root (hd1,1). Got it?

4- Once the partition is selected, reinstall grub with this command.

setup (hd0)

Note. If your partition was sdb1 then setup (hd1)

5- Now enter quit at the grub prompt and reboot.

If you have any problems, post here the errors as well as the output of fdisk -l

Hope that helps.

Re: RAID 1, F9 not booting up

 Hi,
 I did a fresh install of F9.
 I created a RAID 1 as follows:
 
 RAID Devices
  /dev/md0 /boot   /ext3   100mb
  /dev/md1 VolGroup00  LVM 476835mb
 
 /dev/sda

  /dev/sda2 Software RAID as Logical Volume Management
 
 /dev/sdb
  /dev/sdb1 Software RAID 100 MB as boot
  /dev/sdb2 Software RAID as Logical Volume Management
 
 Then I created a LVM volume as follows:
 LVM Volume Groups
 VolGroup00
  lvmhome  /home   /ext3
  lvmroot  /   /ext3   60gb
  lvmswap  /swap   10gb
 
 I then installed F9 and when I rebooted I got stuck with the following

 I've fixed this before using grub from a rescue cd but not with a RAID setup.
 Please advise.

RAID and /boot partitions

When creating a RAID 1 in F9.
Does it make sense to make the /boot partition on both discs a RAID too?
I have /boot and / as RAID 1 (dm-0 and dm-1). If I disconnect one of the

I'm really new to this, so any help is appreciated.

 Are you sure /boot is on a raid partition, and not on a dm pseudo 
 device? If you created a partition on your drives, made a raid-1 of the 
 two partitions (100-200MB is good), and then did whatever with the rest 
 of your disk, you should be fine.
 
 If you made one huge raid array and used dm to break it up, you are not 
 fine. Do cat /proc/mdstat and see that there is a small raid-1 for 
 boot, and df to check that /dev/mdX is mounted on /boot. If that's the 
 case you should be good, otherwise you probably don't boot off one drive.
 
 NOTE: your BIOS may not boot off the 2nd drive if the 1st drive is 
 present and has data errors, should if the 1st drive is dead. Some BIOS 
 do, some don't.

unplug the second one, the system becomes unstable, X crashes, and eventually 
the system becomes irresponsive.
Why does this happen with one disk only?
Thanks,
EJ

Re: RAID and /boot partitions

   Hi,
   When creating a RAID 1 in F9.
   Does it make sense to make the /boot partition on both discs a RAID too?
  I have /boot and / as RAID 1 (dm-0 and dm-1). If I disconnect one of the 
  drives, the computer freezes. Isn't the RAID supposed to keep it running?
   I'm really new to this, so any help is appreciated.
   
  Are you sure /boot is on a raid partition, and not on a dm pseudo 
  device? If you created a partition on your drives, made a raid-1 of the 
  two partitions (100-200MB is good), and then did whatever with the rest 
  of your disk, you should be fine.
  
  If you made one huge raid array and used dm to break it up, you are not 
  fine. Do cat /proc/mdstat and see that there is a small raid-1 for 
  boot, and df to check that /dev/mdX is mounted on /boot. If that's the 
  case you should be good, otherwise you probably don't boot off one drive.
  
  NOTE: your BIOS may not boot off the 2nd drive if the 1st drive is 
  present and has data errors, should if the 1st drive is dead. Some BIOS 
  do, some don't.

To answer my own question.
The problem is that the swap partition is only on one disk and it's not RAIDed. 
So when I unplug the drive with the swap partition, the system goes down.
The next step would be to create a RAID for swap and make the system use it.

RAID 1, F9 not booting up

2008-07-01 Thread redhatdude
Hi,
I did a fresh install of F9.
I created a RAID 1 as follows:

RAID Devices
 /dev/md0   /boot   /ext3   100mb
 /dev/md1   VolGroup00  LVM 476835mb

/dev/sda
 /dev/sda1 Software RAID 100 MB as boot
 /dev/sda2 Software RAID as Logical Volume Management

/dev/sdb
 /dev/sdb1 Software RAID 100 MB as boot
 /dev/sdb2 Software RAID as Logical Volume Management

Then I created a LVM volume as follows:
LVM Volume Groups
VolGroup00
 lvmhome/home   /ext3
 lvmroot/   /ext3   60gb
 lvmswap/swap   10gb

I then installed F9 and when I rebooted I got stuck with the following message:
grub loading stage2

I've fixed this before using grub from a rescue cd but not with a RAID setup.
Please advise.
Thanks,
EJ

 Example:
 
 fdisk /dev/sda
 
 here you can create partitions for the first disk, assuming that your
 first disk is sda. For all partitions, except for the swap type, choose
 raid autodetect type (fd).
 
 fdisk /dev/sdb
 
 do the same thing as for /dev/sda
 
 then do this:
 
 mdadm --create /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
 mdadm --create /dev/md1 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2
 
 and so on, for all partitions that are raid autodetect type.
 
 After creating md devices, you must format them:
 
 mkfs.ext3 -L /some_label /dev/md0
 
 and so on, for all of md devices you created. Don't forget to mkswap all
 swap partitions.
 
 
 Use this as your guide:
 
 man mount
 man fdisk
 man mdadm (or mdadm --help)

Thanks for the help Zlatko.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of linux is limited to networking, email and apache 
services. I've been using linux for years but never had to do something like 
this.
I don't know how to format the disk with fdisk and I for sure don't know how to 
mkswap all
swap partitions.
I'd appreciate more elaborate instructions.

How do I locate the drive? My SATA drive is sda. I was expecting the ATA to be 
hda, but I can't find that.
