 So what you're saying is, it was approved before it was ready.  Judging 
 from
 what else you wrote, the devs didn't realize it when they approved it.  
 This
 suggests to me that approval came too early in the process, before proper
 testing was done and that important parts of the program hadn't been
 completed.  If so, is there anything that can be done to prevent this from
 happening yet again?
 I have the greatest respect for the developer's that put in
 considerable effort for each release. The problem with 6 month release
 cycle is too little time. I've used linux now for almost 6 years with
 Ubuntu and Fedora. Some distros use a two year release which is too
 long. One or two use an annual release which i think is about right...
 development and testing can fully take place. Why not consider an
 annual release which would give appropriate time for all to take
 place?
 james
 I would have to agree with you James, it might not be a bad idea for
 them to stretch their release time out a bit? I would have positives
 from all sides. First,the developers would be able to REALLY put
 their apps and what-not through a GRUELING testing session, this
 way...when they say it works.IT WORKS! Second,.the public
 wouldn't find themselves scurrying to acquire the latest version, and
 slamming it onto their machines without knowing that things won't crash
  burn un-necessarily..also it would give the public time to adapt
 and become comfortable with the latest release, instead of going into
 shock at the arrival of a new desktop environment...or new feature-sets
 that were not there before. I guess it's just a matter of someone (or a
 LOT of someone's) voicing their opinion loud enough to be heard by the
 higher-ups? I don't know that they would actually change things around
 like that(it would be NICE!) but eventually they might get restless
 enough to completely flip thing around and have longer time frames
 between releases.
 
 
 Maybe we should try out, say, a nine month cycle and if it doesn't suit - go 
 back to six months?  I am conscious though of the human tendency to put off 
 things when there is more time to get them done . .
 
 Regards,
 
 Phil.

I think if nine months was tried then the interim period should be renamed a

I'd also like to add to the pile of anecdotal evidence that my systems been 
stable since upgrading to F18. There were some hiccups with evolution but that 
was more to do with my self-signed server certs than anything.

 Or? Well you could use a distro that actually works without searching
 Google and volumes of text files.

 Seems like if 'Linux is now supposed to appeal to the 'great unwashed
 masses' that it should make it easy for them to use Linux. Ya think?

 F/a/ber est suae quisque fortunae
 
 Your 'e' should be an 'a'
 

Prissy :)

 But a good point. However. But my point was that if Linux ever expects
 to become useful and commonly accepted it needs to work for 'the common
 user' in 'the common environment'. Workable without the need of
 incantations, magic scripts, candles burning on stone alters where
 chickens are killed and their blood captured in special stone bowls to
 just 'make it work'.
 
 Means? Install it and the devices are found and configured. The monitor
 works as it should.
 

xrandr is just simple tool :)
The magic is in the efforts of developers to make something like that.
Please, do not take things for granted.

No retreat, no surrender.

Re: rsync (ssh) authorisation weirdness on F18

In F18 the rsync command fails to connect:

  dbus-daemon[938]: Host key verification failed.



Check /var/log/audit/audit.log.  SELinux is probably denying access to

Dear Gordon,
Thanks, thats it. I put selinux on permissive in the

I'm switiching on selinux and rebooting...

Alas, running with selinux on just causes NetworkManager to time out -

your 'equipment' maybe rated higher, but the 'xrandr -q' is actually
showing how it is being seen.

note that it is showing 'VGA-0' as your connection and it may not give
you higher resolutions.

because it is showing '1024x768x60' as maximum, that may well be best
that you will get in 'VGA' mode. which is caused by video chip and it's
outputs.

also, try '--screen 1680x1050' instead of '--mode 1680x1050'.

something else to consider, try 'man xrandr' to see where you should be
using '--' or '-'.

try 'locate xrandr' to see if you have a 'Documents' file and read it.

Don't do that.  I see something like that frequently given as advice for 
generating a policy, but it'll only work if rsync is the only thing 
that's being denied (or something else in an rsync context).  From your 
original email, you're probably seeing at least one denial to ssh in 
NetworkManager's context.


Instead, put selinux into permissive mode.  Rotate the audit log, or 
just use 'tail -f audit.log  mypol.avcs'.  Run through all of the 
things that need to happen during normal operation.  When that's done, 
you can use mypol.avcs or the rotated audit.log to generate the new policy.



setsebool -P rsync_export_all_ro 1


That's only necessary if you're running rsyncd, which I think you're not.

Re: Optimization Start Up of Fedora

2013-01-28 Thread Jorge Martínez López
Hi!

2013/1/27 carachi diego carach...@gmail.com


 But if I compile the kernel without all unnecessary drivers and packet,
 Can I obtain more performance than only disable some service?



The Fedora kernel (and actually any other distribution) has most of its
kernel options compiled as modules (not drivers). Why? Because it is
impossible for Fedora devs to know beforehand the hardware the computer
will run and people like to get their hardware up and running as soon as
they plug it in.

In any case, the kernel does not load modules on memory until they are
needed. So the only thing you are wasting is hard disk space (and not
really much). So you could save a few MB of hard drive by compiling your
own kernel and removing modules you are not going to use (floppy disks?)
but 1) you will spend a lot of time and 2) you may break something.

So my advice is: leave the kernel as is and take a look at unnecessary
services at boot.

Advice needed on setting up a second DHCP network on separate Ethernet controller with access to internet

2013-01-28 Thread Aaron Gray
Hi,

with the new firewalld and possible changes to Fedora. I need advice on
setting up a second DHCP network on 192.168.01.x on a separate Ethernet
controller with access to internet for http and https and DNS for the
second network from the existing 192.168.0.1 DHCP network and controller.

This is for PXEBOOT'ing new servers. I managed to do this before once on
F14 with the old Fedoras configuration and Shorewall, but could not get it
to work on F16 when I tried again. I am now wanting to do this again on
F18. And would like to ideally do it without Shorewall. And would like to
do a HOWTO to accompany the PXEBOOT HOWTO.

Hope you can help.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

F18 Xorg/drm/kernel - Failed to find memory space for buffer 0xXXX eviction

2013-01-28 Thread Wolfgang S. Rupprecht

On most of my systems the F17 to F18 upgrade went well.  On the main
one, my desktop, I'm seeing a string of failures that leaves the display
in various states of unusable depending on the positions of the stars
and planets.  The file /var/log/messages contains the following and the
displays have messed up icons and background images.  It looks like the
frame buffer is just displaying random snippets of past items in some
mosaic-ed pattern.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?  Is there something I can turn off
(perhaps in Xorg.conf) to stop this lossage perhaps at some cost in CPU
time or speed?  It feels like it must be some video acceleration hack
gone awry.  Why else would the kernel get involved in this level of xorg
userland drawing to the framebuffer?

I put in a bugzilla for this a dozen days ago, but so far, not even a
peep from anyone.  I figured I'd try for a larger audience.

 smbd[20596]: WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'SHARE' for parameter 'security'
 
 This is unacceptably stupid. The guys with the tinfoil hats
 who think that connecting a computer to AC power is insecure
 have obviously taken over.
 
 It is now utterly impossible to provide a windows share
 from a linux box that can be connected without the
 windows side asking for credentials.
 
 Nevermind that the entire LAN is isolated behind a
 firewall. Nevermind that all users inside that firewall
 are trusted and will be pissed off that they constantly
 have to provide credentials for no reason. Nevermind
 that there is nothing in the shared directory but
 things like copies of holiday snapshots. Oh no!
 The security geeks need to make sure I'm protected
 from myself. Just because it is my computer, my LAN,
 and my data is no reason I get to decide how I want
 to use it. I'm too ignorant for that.
 
 Now, please use this rant as motivation to prove I'm
 wrong by posting a tested, working, smb.conf file that
 provides a read/write windows file share which requires
 no credentials prompt on the windows box. (Merely
 mentioning things you've heard ought to work isn't
 useful - I've tried them all - I need a working tested
 example).
 
 Sheesh!
 
This works for XP:

The biggest change you can make to your laptop to get it to boot faster
is throw out the rotating disk and buy an SSD (Solid State Disk).  A
120GB disk can be had for under $120.  You can cut your boot time from
1+ minute to 15 sec (from the time grub loads to the time the login
screen appears).  No other change you can make will be anywhere close to
that dramatic.

The one fly in the ointment is that you need to have a modern enough
laptop for the disk to be a SATA disk.  Anything newer than ~2007 should
be ok (but check your disk first before ordering an SSD).

Seems like overkill.  Why not just add it to /etc/ntp.conf and/or

This is a pretty big change, but actually my F17 laptop boots fairly
quick even with a platter disc. If you look at Lennart's blame game
page (already linked) you can save a lot of time by not waiting on
services you don't need (not necessarily even disabling them, just not
waiting for things that aren't needed during boot).

 Don't do that.  I see something like that frequently given as advice for

 being denied (or something else in an rsync context).  From your original

 NetworkManager's context.
 
 Instead, put selinux into permissive mode.  Rotate the audit log, or just
 use 'tail -f audit.log  mypol.avcs'.  Run through all of the things that
 need to happen during normal operation.  When that's done, you can use
 mypol.avcs or the rotated audit.log to generate the new policy.
 
 setsebool -P rsync_export_all_ro 1
 
 That's only necessary if you're running rsyncd, which I think you're not.


Rsync fighting SELinux seems to be a common problem lately.

AFAIK --delete flags files from the target which are not present in the

Thanx.  AIUI, Fedora does have an experimental version: Rawhide.  Alas,
I'm beginning to get the impression that things are taken from Rawhide
and dropped into the mainstream version before they're ready.
That's my perception for a long time - I feel it's just that thanks to

It's an ancient Microsoft authentication protocol used with Windows file

Sharing more details of what went wrong or how you fixed it might help

I just logged out and back in, your panel restart w/o logout is a trick I saved 
but didn't really felt necessary, login is down at the just happens level already.


Thanks for the pointer to the workaround!

I live in Camarillo, CA.  I just installed the applet and tried to configure

either Camarillo, CA or my zip code fails. How can I find out for myself what
the correct info is for the closest weather station (I assume that it's not
Newbury Park because Forcastfox has no trouble getting it right.) and plug it 
in?


Maybe just add _your exact_ information in regards to location and zip code to
the file that contains the weather-app's configuration? This way you'll be given
a choice when you try to change it, or at the very leastit should FIND
it!... And mind you I'm just guessing here!.


The issue is twofold:

1 - the initial location is taken from your IP, before you have 1st login.
2 - the search function is broken thereafter.

Note: search worked at the time fc17 came out, that's where I got the correct 
address. Relatively new problem.

  process is making suggestions.  None of us mere users have a vote.
 
 Trend which I see in my Linux neighbourhood is quite transparent -
 people switch from Fedora elsewhere: some of them to Centos, others
 to different distro, some leave Linux entirely. Perhaps nobody now
 is using Gnome3. Reasons were always same - unacceptable quantum of
 bugs, which solving take unacceptable quantum of time (when problem
 was possible tackle/bypass by himself). Or there were some SW faults
 which was needed solve with developers, and in many cases it wasn't
 solved even until distro EOL.
 
 I myself was not afraid install Fedora at production workstations and
 servers, even in their beta phase - but it ended with F12-F13 (F14 was
 still good distro, but in beta phase there was unworkable systemd; in
 final release was upstart). And now I install Fedora not before several
 weeks after final releas - and for testing purposes only.
 


Well, is curious...   I see the opposite situation.  People from other
distros  (especially Ubuntu)  dropping into Fedora.  May be a geographic

brutal and unrealistic

http://www.harald-hoyer.de/personal/blog/fedora-17-boot-optimization-from-15-to-3-seconds

Probably the most useful tip is Don't Use LVM.

Unless the laptop is a toy, I would encrypt either /home or the whole root
with home, depending on how you have it set up. Laptops do get lost or
stolen, even if you have nothing financial, there are probably things which
are no one's business but your own. Mailing addresses, mail people sent you,
passwords to mail accounts, maybe social media accounts?

Booting with no services saves time to login prompt, what is time to useful
system?

One of the reasons I stick with Fedora is that they have made the effort to
make selinux work on the system, something I feel adds a layer of security
worth a few seconds at boot. That's my priority, it may not be yours.

Grub2/Grub2 Themes Usage Issues

2013-01-28 Thread Stephen Morris

Hi,
I have activated the usage of the Starfield theme for grub2 in 
Fedora 17 and I am having issues with it.


1). Scrolling through the list of entries in the menu at boot time 
is horribly slow. Every time I scroll with the arrow keys the screen 
flashes black and it takes several seconds for the next/previous entry 
to be highlighted.
2). I have just upgraded from from an Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT to an 
Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 (this is a PCI-E 3 card plugged into a PCI-E 2 
slot) and now I can see the graphics for the theme being drawn on the 
screen as I watch, whereas with the 9800 the screen draw was 
instantaneous. The issue highlighted in point 1) occurs independently of 
the graphics card in terms of the same thing happens with both graphics 
cards.
3). When I do an upgrade that upgrades the kernel the upgrade 
process tries to update the grub2 config and mbr but is unable to 
because /sbin/grubby fails with an access denied error even though I am 
effectively running in root mode via sudo (implemented via the wheel 
group). I have also tried this after switching to root mode via su but 
that fails with the same error.
4). Because of the error highlighted in point 3, when upgrading the 
kernel, I have to manual run a grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install to 
update grub and this process rebuilds the Starfield's Theme.txt file 
back to the defaults from the manual customization I have done from 
white/grey bold text. The black/black bold text does not work for me on 
the Starfield background.


My system is an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard, AMD FX 4 
GHz 8 core cpu, Geforce GTX 650 2 GB graphics card, 16 GB memory, 256 GB 
SSD (this has Win 8 and the boot partitions for Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 
12.10 installed on it) and 2 2 TB Seagate hard disks, so from my 
perspective computing power is not an issue.


What is the best way to rectify these issues?

regards,
Steve

 right?

 How can one do the relabeling?

 touch /.autorelabel; reboot


 Thanks, Daniel. But what is the kernel line? The one that starts with the
 word 'linux' when one at the booting time presses the key 'e'?

 Paul

 Yes, something like:

 linux   /vmlinuz-3.8.0-0.rc4.git1.1.fc19.x86_64
 root=UUID=43a08079-a288-4e6f-8767-404eb56b8df3 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0
 SYSFONT=True  KEYTABLE=us
 rd.luks.uuid=luks-d78a7fd8-3aba-4152-82c6-e9000fb2ca83
 rd.luks.uuid=luks-f1cc16a9-e403-4eeb-b5c7-5a6aa567f7c6 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rhgb 
 quiet


Thanks, Daniel. I had done that but with no success. However, I did
not do any relabeling, unfortunately. Anyway, the problem seems to be
overcome now.

F18: post-friday updates + ssh ports + iptables

2013-01-28 Thread Ranjan Maitra
So, I have a strange problem which I can't figure out. After Friday's
updates, I was unable to ssh into the machine with a nonstandard port.
I changed the port to the default and was able to get in. I was able to
resolve this only after stopping and starting iptables service.

Is this the norm? How is this fixed? I have never had to do this before.

 Will cause a relabel at boot, although not necessary now.

One thing that has always bothered me about the first restorecon -rv /
run after a fresh install is how many files are relabeled because the
restorecon database and the rpm that the file came from disagree on the
context.  Should we put in a bug report for these?  Are these things
benign enough to ignore?

Being a BOFH, I prefer one of two variations:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach him how to fish and if he's still hungry, it's not your problem

Or, for the terminally slow to learn:

just guessing, but that is the error I get when trying to boot using the 
upgrade.img instead of the initrd.img.


Unfortunately, the upgrade.img, although in the pxeboot directory, 
cannot be used to pxe boot.  It can only work when used from grub, and 
is used that way by fedup.


The only other thing I can think of, is that the initrd.img does not 
have the storage driver you need.


Good Luck!

I had a similar situation  I just started using vps instead.

I think most ISPs are still using Rails 2 because they see no need to
upgrade  are also wary of the swiftness of the Rails/Ruby releases.
Plus there is no definitive Rails 3 per se to speak of.

So, your only choice is to go with either a dedicated server, a
vps/cloud solution or a specialist Rails outfit. VPS/cloud is by far the
cheapest  most flexible IMO  works for me.

My laptop doesn't do that.  My desktop does, and most of the time I have 
to use the reset button, but if that doesn't work, there's nothing left 
except the power button and if so, there's not really much else I can 
do.  You might try activating the Magic SysRq key 
(http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/sysrq.htm) and seeing if

Paul Smith writes:


Dear All,

power off the machine? If not, what alternatives do you suggest?

Thanks in advance,


There are two consequences to a hard poweroff, like that:

1) The hard drive does an emergency park of the R/W head. That does incur  
some cost, in terms of wear and tear.


2) The filesystem state is inconsistent. That does not usually result in any  
damage. The filesystem should get automatically re-fscked on the next  
reboot. Still, after a forced poweroff, it is a good idea to touch  
/forcefsck and reboot one more time, to force a full fsck on all  
filesystems (which will take some time to complete).


As far as recovering, there are basically two things that can be tried,  
before giving up and yanking the power.


A) Sometimes only X, or the UI is frozen, but the kernel continues to crawl,  
to some extent, underneath. If you were connected to a network, you can try  
ssh-ing in, and running 'poweroff'. Of course, this assumes that you had ssh  
enabled. If you're able to ssh-in and execute 'poweroff', be patient, it may  
take 5-10 minutes for a crippled machine to figure out how to kill off  
everything, and reboot.


B) Execute:

echo 'kernel.sysrq = 1' /lib/sysctl.d/99-sysrq.conf
sysctl --system

When the machine freezes, try pressing Alt-SysRq-b to force a reboot, if the  
kernel is still alive, somewhere. This will still require a filesystem  
repair, but at least it'll save wear/tear on the hard drives.

looking for more fish? (GBWG)

if your system is freezing, put a heavy blanket around it to keep
it warm.

if the power button is on top of machine, holding it _down_ is ok.

if power button is on the front, holding it _in_ would work better.

your alternatives would be pulling power cord from back of machine
or removing power cord plug from wall.

main thing is, does machine freeze often and what is causing it
to freeze up.

In an ext3/ext4 filesystem, journaling will often correct any errors 
without needing to fsck; if not, the system will do it on its own at 
boot.  And, if the Magic SysRq is working, using Alt-SysRq-s will force 
a sync before forcing a boot.  I need to do ^Alt-SysRq to get it to work 
and then, only if the system hasn't locked up.

I am not sure how to figure out what were in those updates. Is there a
way? I am not even sure that this is an iptables issue, only that
restarting it appears to be resolving the problem (namely that ssh is
set to access through the standard port, which is disabled in favor of
the non-standard port in the ssd_config).

I do see that the iptables package has not been updated at all since
F18 was released. Neither has ssh, and both of them worked at least
till Friday mid-morning, but not after Friday afternoon.

One point to note is that I did update through yum (and have not been
able to resolve my sound for this i386 machine yet). However, this
iptables + ssh did work from Thursday afternoon for about 24 hours, as
usual. 

Perhaps something else messed it up, and will need to be fixed.

Thanks again for any help!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

F18 uses firewalld by default instead of iptables.  Maybe you need to
open those non-standard ssh ports for firewalld?  To do that you need to
install firewall-config.

  # yum install firewall-config

Hope this helps,

telnetd mystery ....

2013-01-28 Thread Ed Greshko
First  No need to bring up the ssh v.s. telnet stuff.

Has anyone configured telnetd for use on F18?  Running 64 bitbut this 
shouldn't make a difference.  Anyway, I did the normal procedure.

1.  yum install telnet-service
2.  opened telnet port on the firewall (not that it mattered since local also 
fails)
3.  chkconfig telnet on
4.  systemctl restart xinetd.service

When I telnet in (remote or local) I get this

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ telnet f18x
Trying 192.168.0.168...
Connected to f18x.
Escape character is '^]'.
Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Kernel 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 on an x86_64 (3)
Connection closed by foreign host.

And this ends up in /var/log/messages

Jan 29 11:41:29 f18x xinetd[4488]: START: telnet pid=4665 from=192.168.0.18
Jan 29 11:41:29 f18x xinetd[4488]: EXIT: telnet status=0 pid=4665 
duration=0(sec)

However, if I add

server_args = -D options

to the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file it works.   But, of course, I get debug info 
that I don't want

The same procedure in F17 works fine

What could I be missing?

 F18 uses firewalld by default instead of iptables.  Maybe you need to
 open those non-standard ssh ports for firewalld?  To do that you need to
 install firewall-config.
 
   # yum install firewall-config

So, this is installed. I will look into this, but this does not explain
why the ssh worked ok on Thursday.

Re: Holding down the power button when the systems freezes

Paul Smith phhs80 at gmail.com writes:
 When the systems freezes, is it safe to hold down the power button to
 power off the machine? If not, what alternatives do you suggest?
Simple test: if CapsLock and/or NumLock and/or ScrollLock still work (keyboard
light reflects change in state), you have a shot at the Alt-SysReq-key stuff.
 The keyboard lights are actually controlled by the O/S (keyboard driver
specifically).  If the O/S is dead, the lights won't change state when you push
whatever.  

I've had fairly good luck with this test.  Lights work -- be patient and see if
you can get an alternate console, shell in, etc.  Lights don't work -- power
key time.

Cheers,
Dave

Re: F18: post-friday updates + ssh ports + iptables

2013-01-28 Thread David G . Miller
Ranjan Maitra maitra.mbox.ignored at inbox.com writes:

 So, I have a strange problem which I can't figure out. After Friday's
 updates, I was unable to ssh into the machine with a nonstandard port.
 I changed the port to the default and was able to get in. I was able to
 resolve this only after stopping and starting iptables service.

Possible simple explanation: Do you have an iptables rule that restricts access
to the target system to a specific host?  If so, did you specify the system to
allow in using a host name (or FQDN) or did you use that system's IP address? 
If the host name can't be resolved at startup but resolves once the system is
fully up, you could have an explanation for the behavior you're seeing.  

I think I've also seen this with a slow DNS or a resolv.conf that includes an
unavailable DNS server.

Cheers,
Dave

Re: McAfee Endpoint Encryption installed, now I can't boot Fedora

2013-01-28 Thread Jatin K

Google didn't turn up anything relevant for my particular situation...

I was dual booting my work laptop with Windows XP and Fedora 17 w/
GRUB2. Last week my laptop got McAfee Endpoint Encryption forced upon
it. Interestingly enough I can authenticate McAfee and still get to
the GRUB menu. If I choose Windows XP then single sign-on works. If I
choose Fedora it loads the initrd and then dumps into some sort of
dracut shell. It doesn't appear to be able to find the LVM volumes.
Can I assume they got encrypted as well?

Thanks,

Have a look at this[1].  may it can be help you

Re: after cinnamon installation, each gnome3 session will start nemo instead of nautilus

 Dear F18 users,
 
 my standard desktop is gnome3/Nautilus. Now, I installed for

 My question: is this done intentionally?

Hi Lailah,

thank you for your answer, which probably gives a workaround, but it
does not answer my question, why nemo replaces the nautilus
functionality in a gnome3 desktop.

Kind regards
