 Is anyone out there already working on something like this?

yum install gnome-phone-manager

Whether it works with your USB Modem, or indeed USB Modems in general,
I don't know -  but it's worth a shot.

Hello,

You could try to use gammu to read/send sms-es.
Here is a link on how to use it with a huawei e160
http://tensixtyone.com/perma/howto-send-sms-using-a-huawei-e160g-and-debian
I tested with my huawei e180, and I was able to send/recieve sms-es,
read/write contact book.

There is an frontend for it, is called wammu.

yum install gammu wammu -y

 I imagine the ideal solution is some kind of sms service provider, which
 itself could be accessed via dbus, with integration in email or IM clients.

 Rationale:

 I have a 3G usb modem which i use to connect to mobile broadband. This
 service is pretty much connected whenever I use my computer.

 Often my provider sends SMS messages to the number of the usb modem, for
 example, to give warnings about going over quota (which I recently did). I
 would love a way to access these messages while connected to mobile
 broadband.

 Cheers,

 Dan

Re: NetworkManager, dbus, 3G USB Modems and SMS

2010-02-05 Thread Dan Irwin
Hello,

That looks like a good solution. The only problem I foresee that gammu won't
be able to access /dev/ttyUSBn while NetworkManager has an active connection
using the same device.

Still, it looks like the best solution so far, even if I have to disconnect
the broadband.

My hope is that I can write something myself to talk to NetworkManager or
ModemManager via dbus to work around the fact that /dev/ttyUSBn is locked.

Cheers,

Dan

Re: wireless adapter stops working after update

2010-02-05 Thread Peter Lesterhuis


Frank Elsner:
   

  You have seen the above line that reads Wireless now disabled
  by radio killswitch?
   

Peter Lesterhuis:
   

  Yes, I have. But I don't know what it means. Please inform me.
 

There's a physical switch on your computer that lets you turn the
wireless network on and off.  It may be a button without any label, a
switch, or a keyboard key combination that you press (e.g. Fn + F2 on my
laptop).
   

Thanks for explaining this.
I'll try keys en combination of keys of the keyboard (must be a hell of 
a job to try any combination).
Still it is weird that when I reinstall fedora 12  from DVD the wirelss 
card is working, only after updating it stops working. Also when I boot 
Ubunto from cd it is working.

Stop using Yahoo Mail? As far as I can tell, it's seriously broken, at
least for list mail, e.g. it doesn't seem to respect threading
standards. Also, your message arrived as a Multipart/Alternative, i.e.
it's sending an HTML version despite you asking it not to.

  F12 GNOME client only displays sftp if it is explicitly indicated in the
  response.
 
 In theory, you could almost assume that the SSH service being
 available, meant SFTP was available as it's pretty unusual to disable
 SFTP transfers via SSH. That may have been the old behaviour of Gnome
 in F11.
 
 However, the correct behaviour is not to make assumptions and only
 show the services that are advertised.
 
 I see in a slightly different thread that we're talking about
 Bugzilla'ing this against Nautilus in F12 - I'm not sure that this is
 correct. If anything it's a bug against Nautilus in F11 which has
 already been corrected.

How do I use the drupal installed via yum?

2010-02-05 Thread Gavin Simpson
Dear List,

I'm looking to set-up a Drupal installation on a RHEL 5.4 server and
also on my Fedora box. I've installed drupal via yum and note that it
installs into /usr/share/drupal/ /etc/drupal/ . A look through what
was installed didn't yield any READMEs or Fedora/RHEL specific
instructions, so I'm not sure how to proceed and thought I'd ask
before blundering in...?

Anyone point me in the right direction of marrying up the
yum-installed drupal with my web root? Just to be clear, I don't need
help with Drupal. I think what I'm not grepping is how I access drupal
through the webroot.

TIA,

Gavin

I assume you're using Apache 2.  Configure it in the sites available
directory.  If you don't know where the package installed it, look at
the files provided via rpm -qlp.

Look in your home dir in .nx:  ~/.nx
for a dir with a rather long name like:
S-cheetah-1064-85F3582D94F5EC31203452108C9547A0
In that dir there are files like:
-rw--- 1 wcn00 wcn00  895 2010-02-05 07:21 session
drwx-- 2 wcn00 wcn00 4096 2010-02-05 07:21 .

-rw--- 1 wcn00 wcn000 2010-02-05 07:21 stats

the session and errors files should contain something relating to your
problem.  Also the server logs client connections in the client's ~/.nx
dir if it gets as far as authenticating them,  which in your case, is
probably not happening.  Check your server's system log for security
messages etc.
I use NX all day every day over the net, and down tunnels.  Generally it
works well, but support for free leaching users like me is nonexistent :(
Best of luck

Re: [389-users] With LDAP server stopped, local authentication fails...

2010-02-05 Thread Sean Carolan
 The problem is probably in pam. Lot s of internet docs have incorrect
 info advice and say.
 account    required     pam_nologin.so
 account   sufficient pam_ldap.so

 When you do that you get the situation you have now. In some phases of
 login sufficient becomes required.

 Try this:

Before I go changing system-auth by hand I would like to see if there
is some way to get it working with the authconfig tool.  This makes it
easier for me to maintain consistency and configure multiple systems.
 Here is what is in my system-auth file now, and this was generated
with the following command.  Is the authconfig tool actually
generating a bad configuration file?  If so should this be
considered a bug?

/usr/sbin/authconfig --enablemkhomedir --enableldap --enableldapauth
--enablecache --ldapserver=example.company.com

Re: How do I use the drupal installed via yum?

2010-02-05 Thread Gavin Simpson
Hi Dave,

Thanks. Yes, apache2. Not sure what you mean by the sites available directory.

There is a sites symbolic link to /etc/drupal in /usr/share/drupal.

I think my problem is that I have what looks like a drupal stack in
/usr/share/drupal which is the kind of thing one would download from
the drupal site and unpack in the web root. However, it is in
/usr/share/drupal and I don't want to be serving stuff from there -
wouldn;t have thought SELinux would allow it. So what do I have to
configure?

Cheers,

G

 I assume you're using Apache 2.  Configure it in the sites available
 directory.  If you don't know where the package installed it, look at
 the files provided via rpm -qlp.

Re: kde preferences setting in gnome?

 Hi,
 
 I've just switched from F7 to F11 and in general things went well. But I use

Thinking...

I use KDE and I always find that it is best to set up gnome preferences in 
gnome, 
so that when I run the programs in KDE, they will work correctly.

I gather you are using Gnome, but want to use some KDE programs. Likely, you 
would 
do best to go into KDE and set it up correctly there, then go back into Gnome 
and 
hopefully all will work okay. Maybe you could just run systemsettings from 
within 
gnome, too?

I am not sure where you would make the setting that you want, but the only 
thing I 
can think of is:

KDE system settings general tab default applications web browser. There, the 
default is application based on contents of the URL. Try changing this to the 
second option and specify firefox. You might need some sort of %s or %u or 
something like that thing after, but I don't understand those or how you figure 
out 
which one. Nevertheless, this should do the trick.

Using abrt for bugs that are non-crashes ?!?

2010-02-05 Thread William Case
Hi;

Is there a way to use abrt to report bugs that do not involve an actual
crash of an application?

For example:

I use both Firefox and Epiphany as web browsers.  Epiphany I reserved as
my Linux stuff browser because in the past it was so fast.  Firefox (in
F12 Linux) I use for most media stuff, play and general use.

I now find that Epiphany takes about 40 to 80 seconds to load a site
while Firefox is still almost instantaneous.  Epiphany doesn't crash it
just slows right down and takes time to load the site.

If there is some small Epiphany configuration I have overlooked, I would
be happy to know and fix it.  However, my main question is how to trace
a bug using abrt if there has not been an actual crash.

If there is not yet a way to do this, wouldn't it be a useful addition
to abrt.  I suspect abrt could be programmed to get useful information
from a strace and a dump that would be more useful and more germane than
a non-developer (like me) could ascertain before reporting a bug.

 sysfs that's been touched. Unless you've some other reason to suspect
 sysfs is related I'd doubt there's anything to connect the two.
 
 
  Here goes. Looks like PA may be involved (I've had it crash a lot
  lately).
 
 PA looks like an innocent victim (or if it is in any direct way
 implicated it is just triggering a kernel bug that was already there -
 userspace should not be able to make the kernel GPF).

Plymouth misbehaving

2010-02-05 Thread Marko Vojinovic

Hi folks! :-)

This is how I have my plymouth is configured:

[r...@yoda ~]# plymouth-set-default-theme 
solar

However, on boot the charge theme is displayed instead of solar. I tried 
setting it up again, changing to charge and back to solar, and only charge is 
displayed. Is anybody else seeing this behavior? Is this a bug or what's going 
on?

I have the following installed (full update just a minute ago):

Re: How do I use the drupal installed via yum?

 Thanks. Yes, apache2. Not sure what you mean by the sites available 
 directory.

In stock Apache, configuration information is in /etc/apache2.  Websites
are defined in httpd.conf fragments in a directory entitled
sites-available; sites that are used in the active configuration are
linked from files in sites-available in the directory sites-enabled.
Sorry, right now I don't have a Fedora system up to check if they mucked
with the stock configuration.

If you're not totally comfortable working at this level, you can use
Webmin to configure your Apache site(s).

 There is a sites symbolic link to /etc/drupal in /usr/share/drupal.

Well, that's not stock Drupal configuration.  In any case, you'd specify
the DocumentRoot in the configuration file in the sites-available file
for the Drupal site; that can be rooted anywhere, but (of course) you
want to make sure it's a clean directory tree (e.g., no links outside
that tree).

 I think my problem is that I have what looks like a drupal stack in
 /usr/share/drupal which is the kind of thing one would download from
 the drupal site and unpack in the web root.

The default Drupal directory should have the following:

CHANGELOG.txt
COPYRIGHT.txt
cron.php
includes
index.php
INSTALL.mysql.txt
INSTALL.pgsql.txt
install.php
INSTALL.txt
LICENSE.txt
MAINTAINERS.txt
misc [directory]
modules [directory]
profiles [directory]
robots.txt
scripts [directory]
sites [directory]
themes [directory]
update.php
UPGRADE.txt
xmlrpc.php

 However, it is in /usr/share/drupal and I don't want to be serving
 stuff from there - wouldn;t have thought SELinux would allow it. So
 what do I have to configure?

Well, you've a couple of choices.  You could, of course, move the Drupal 
directory, but then you're going to have fun in future RPM upgrades.

You could scrap using the distributed RPM and just get Drupal from
drupal.org.  Probably what I'd do.

You could try running it, see how SELinux yelps, and configure it to
shut up; probably a more correct Fedora approach.

G'luck,

Re: How do I use the drupal installed via yum?

2010-02-05 Thread Steven Stern
Here's how I'd handle it

VirtualHost *:80
ServerName www.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal
/VirtualHost

In /usr/share/drupal, move sites to /var/www and replace it (in the
drupal directory) with a soft link.

In /var/www/sites, create a folder writeable by apache called
www.myserver.com and copy the contents of default into it.  SELinux
expects the server to write here and won't complain.

When you first configure the server, tell it that the site is in
sites/www.myserver.com.  This will allow you to easily handle a
multi-site Drupal installation.

On my system, I get Drupal directly from the the drupal site, so I have
it set up differently

/var/www/
drupal-6.15
   sites - ../sites
drupal - drupal-6.15
sites
   all
 themes
 modules
   www.sterndata.com
 files

When a new release of drupal is available, I just download it into
/var/www, change sites to point to ../sites, and change the pointer for
drupal to the new release.

All Drupal sites on my system use the same DocumentRoot,
/var/www/drupal/drupal

 Dear List,
 
 I'm looking to set-up a Drupal installation on a RHEL 5.4 server and

 Anyone point me in the right direction of marrying up the

  Even without the sftp.service file F11 would indicate sftp service

  F12 GNOME client only displays sftp if it is explicitly indicated in the
  response.

 In theory, you could almost assume that the SSH service being
 available, meant SFTP was available as it's pretty unusual to disable
 SFTP transfers via SSH. That may have been the old behaviour of Gnome
 in F11.

 However, the correct behaviour is not to make assumptions and only
 show the services that are advertised.

 But doewsn't the ssh.service filwe cause an ssh service to be
 advertised. Why is that noot sufficient to cause the fedora icons to be
 shown in Places-Network?

Because SSH is a method of connecting to a server which also allows
data transfer - but it's possible to have SSH enabled, but not enable
SFTP - which means the Gnome VFS module that handles transferring
files over SSH wouldn't work as it relies on SFTP.

I'm guessing Gnome has therefore chosen to only show things in
Places-Network that are definitely methods of file transfer, hence
will only show if SFTP is advertised as a service. It's very
confusing, but I don't know how they could make this more obvious - it
took me at least 30 minutes of digging into Avahi to realise what it
was doing and I have the luxury of being on a huge network with a
large variety of machines - at which point the pattern of what shows
up and what doesn't is much more apparent. If you've got a small
homogenous network, noticing and debugging what's going on would be
much harder (I couldn't work it out on my home network, which is a
couple of Fedora machines and an Apple Laptop.)

Mea Culpa--I should have fired up the Fedora system to talk about

 In particular, the Drupal that is available through Fedora is
 configured in /etc/httpd/conf.d/drupal.conf

This is not standard Drupal configuration, however.  And my description

Problem with a large partition

2010-02-05 Thread aragonx
Hello all,

I have a 22TB partition that I would like to use.  I am using a 64bit CPU
and used parted to create a partition and to format it.  It created an
ext2 partition that I was in the process of converting to ext4.  This is
where I hit a snag.  Here is the error I got:

# e2fsck -fDC0 /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Error determining size of the physical device: File too large

Moving forward, I'm going to have to have e2fsck.  fsck appears to be
provided by util-linux-ng.i686.  Shouldn't that be a 64bit version?

Here is some system information:

uname -a
Linux ftp.temp.org 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST
2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Later on in your message, you have the following:
uname -a
Linux ftp.temp.org 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST
2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It APPEARS that you are not running the 64bit version of Fedora.

For comparison, here is uname -a from my Intel Xeon QuadCore (64bit) 
system:
[st...@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jan 18 
19:52:07 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So, for you, the i686 version of e2fsck would seem to be the correct one. 


BUT, e2fsck seems to be a part of the following package:

[st...@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/e2fsck 
e2fsprogs-1.41.9-5.fc12.x86_64


/sbin/fsck IS a part of the package that you refer to above:

[st...@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/fsck
util-linux-ng-2.16.2-5.fc12.x86_64


Again, though, unless you install the 64bit version of Fedora, you will be 
needing the i686 versions of these RPM's.  I am basing my assumption that 
you are running a 32bit version of Fedora from the fact that you are 
running the i686 kernel.  Beyond that, I am NOT an expert :)

Looks like your partition is too large for an ext2 filesystem.

From Wikipedia:

 Limits
 Max file size 16 GiB - 64 TiB
 Max number of files   1018
 Max filename length   255 characters
 Max volume size   2-32 TiB

Note the ranges in the max sizes.  If you chose the wrong information
when you configured (made) the partition initially, 22TB could be too
big.  Of course, the man page for mkfs.ext2 claims that if all you
specified on the mkfs command line was the partition size, it should
have chosen (heuristically) the proper configuration in the first place.

Why didn't you create the partition as an ext4 partition in the first
place?  (Apologies if this partition was already in use when you decided
to convert it)

 Moving forward, I'm going to have to have e2fsck.  fsck appears to be
 provided by util-linux-ng.i686.  Shouldn't that be a 64bit version?

which fsck (what is its path?)  AFAIK, fsck is just a wrapper package
that calls the appropriate helper application once it determines the
target's fstype.

On my system (F11), /sbin/fsck is provided by e2fsprogs.x86_64

I do have util-linux-nq.x86_64 installed, but the only fsck support in
it is /sbin/fsck.cramfs.

 Here is some system information:
 
 uname -a
 Linux ftp.temp.org 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST
 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Looks like your are only running a 32 Linux on your 64 bit CPU.  To that
end, you will only have 32 bit applications available to you.
That doesn't mean you are limited in your choice of partition sizes,
since the 32 bit software will still do the right thing to do the 64 bit
arithmetic for you.

 parted -l
 Disk /dev/sdb: 22.0TB
 Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
 Partition Table: gpt
 
 Number  Start   End SizeFile system  Name Flags
  1  17.4kB  22.0TB  22.0TB  ext4 primary
 
 As always, any help would be appreciated.

I hope this has been helpful

 Are the crashes you're seeing always in this set of functions (same

I started seeing wierd behaviour (NFS failures, sudden crash of KDE
etc.) so I ran memtest and discovered some bad RAM in the 3-4Gb range.

I've rebooted using mem=2000M and we'll see what happens.

Re: radeon driver heading in wrong direction :-(.

2010-02-05 Thread Kevin Kofler
Robin Laing wrote:
 I will recommend the nVidia.  Their site states that they support the
 FX58000.

Nobody asked YOU. It was a question directed specifically to me (and I 
wouldn't recommend a card which requires proprietary drivers).

 Now there is a problem here.  It is the card interface.  I have gone
 through this twice in the past.  Needing faster 3D and looking at video
 cards.  I couldn't get a card to fit my motherboard.  I needed to
 upgrade from PCI to AGP.  I had to get a new computer.  This was due to
 dropping of support for my ATI card.

The cards we were talking about are all PCI-Express cards (both the new ones 
and the older ones which actually have working Free drivers). For older 
computers, there are also AGP and PCI versions of the same cards (but these 
days they're actually more expensive).

 The new computer had AGP support.  I purchased an ATI with it.  I went
 home and fought for two months trying to get the 3D working using the
 ATI drivers.  No joy.

Which drivers? The proprietary driver? Have you tried the Free one? 
Depending on what card you picked and when, it might just have worked. 
Radeon 7xxx and 9xxx series (r1xx and r2xx chips) have been supported for 
years! And AGP as an interface was definitely supported, too.

FWIW, these days the Free drivers have full support for all the Radeons up 
to HD 4xxx (r7xx), on any interface: PCI-Express, AGP, PCI.

 On a whim one day, I decided to try an nVidia card that was on sale.  In
 less than 30 minutes of paying for the card, I had beautiful running 3D on
 my Linux box.  This included all the downloads and reading the readme.  No
 RPM here.

You used the script directly from NVidia? Yuck!!! I hope you enjoyed it 
overwriting your system libraries. (By the way, this may also break because 
Fedora often updates Mesa and so you can end up with the overwritten libGL 
being replaced by the one from the Mesa update. The proper solution is to 
install the libGL to a different directory and to override the search path 
as the RPMs on RPM Fusion do.) See: http://rpmfusion.org/RPMFusionSwitcher

 I have a Dell computer with Intel video and guess what.  It doesn't work
 for 3D in Linux.  I searched and no joy on a fix as it was a known
 support issue.  Found a old nVidia and all is well.

What model computer? What's the exact model of the video card? When have you 
last tried the Intel driver? The issue you found may already be fixed. (Try 
throwing out the NVidia card and see what happens. Though if you let the 
driver overwrite your system libraries, it might not work just because of 
that…)

 I do believe in support for OSS but there are times where you have to
 have a working system over using OSS.  This discussion about the video
 is just part of the bigger picture.

My Free Software systems just work, too.

 In general, most computer users just want their systems to work.  My 13
 year old can install F12 on a laptop and manage it.  I think that is
 great.  Of course, I chose nVidia over the Intel or ATI choices because
 ATI and Intel didn't list support for the product options I was looking
 at.  nVidia did.

They can list the exact supported products because they completely control 
the driver because it's proprietary. Those manufacturers who actually work 
with the community work on the upstream projects, and so different 
distributions ship different versions and thus it depends on the 
distribution whether a card works or not. But Fedora usually supports the 
most hardware with Free drivers as it is very up to date. And the place 
where you find out what hardware is supported by the latest Free drivers is 
once again the upstream project, not the manufacturer:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Status
in particular:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Intel
This is something you need to get used to as a GNU/Linux user: don't ask the 
manufacturer whether their card works under GNU/Linux, ask the projects 
actually responsible for the (Free) drivers.

 My desktop at home was replaced one afternoon after the motherboard
 died.  I didn't have time to order on line or struggle with searching
 for cheaper/older products to support OSS.  I had to take what was on
 the shelf and available before I walked out of the store.  I ended up
 with hardware that I wouldn't have purchased if I had time to review
 product.  But the nVidia card I chose, worked as expected.

I'm sure you would have found an ATI card in the wide supported range if you 
had actually looked for it.

 The developers must understand that the users want systems to do their
 work with.  This requires 3D and acceleration in this day and age.
 People going to Joe's Computer Store down the street will purchase
 pretty modern hardware.

Do you really think the average user buys a EUR 500+ video card? If they do, 
they're just wasting their money. The EUR 20-30 cards they can get cover all 
their needs and if they choose a Radeon, in that

 I would really appreciate it if nVidia, ATI or Intel would create RPM's

 you have a bug, then you have to remove the driver to get any support.

That's not how driver distribution works in the GNU/Linux world. The 
distributions (or in some cases, third-party repositories such as RPM 
Fusion) are responsible for providing packages including drivers, not the 
hardware manufacturers.

Usually, if your computer has a hotkey sequence for killing the wireless

wire with radiating curved lines around it - as an diagram for an
antenna).  It's common for there to be a dedicated switch or button,
rather than using the keyboard.  On some laptops, I've seen a completely
unlabelled button with a light on it as the kill switch.  Mine has a
black slider switch, on the side, with black embossed labelling (very
Douglas Adams).

 Still it is weird that when I reinstall fedora 12  from DVD the
 wirelss card is working, only after updating it stops working. Also
 when I boot Ubunto from cd it is working.

Usually the kill switch is an absolute control - it'll kill the
wireless, and nothing the computer does can turn it back on.  The kill
switch has to be turned on again.  In some cases, it's a simple as a
mechanical switch that turns off the power to the wireless hardware.

There's a chance that the wireless, once disabled, won't restart without
some fiddling.  I've had that happen, it requiring turning off, waiting
half a minute, turning on, waiting, restarting the NetworkManager
service, waiting, before something woke up again.

Funny how computers can do millions of computations a second, but take
half a minute to initialise some hardware...

If that's the case, I'd say it's the opposite of confusing.

Confusing would be something listing access to something that
*doesn't* provide the service.

 Hi,
 
 I have problem in my newly installed fedora 12. I got this
 error every time I tried to install anything via yum:
 
 
 [r...@localhost User]# yum update
 Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
 Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for
 repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
 
 
 Below is the contents of my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
 
 [snip]


Try turning off (or lowering its protection) SELinux.  On my initial install of 
F12, I had to turn it off to update, and configure several things.  Over the 
years SELinux has caused me so many problems, that I either don't install it, 
uninstall it or turn it off.
