We have a number of internal machines which run a local nameserver. It's primarily a relay for the wider net but does a few other things as well. So DHCP is configured to specify 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver address for these machines. Of course, that is also what kickstart is told when it connects and begins operation. But, of course, kickstart is not running a local nameserver. This means that name resolution for the "repo" lines in the kickstart file doesn't work and installations fail. The only workaround I've found is to use IP addresses in the "repo" lines, not the associated names. But this isn't ideal: addresses can change and sites using multiple addresses can't be properly matched. Is there a way I can tell kickstart not to use the resolver specified by DHCP but instead use one that I specify in the kickstart file? -- Dave Close

5tFTW: Fedora Council, Flock 2015, Workstation, F21 @ Rackspace, and Better Rawhide (2014-10-07)

by Matthew Miller

Reposted from <http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-10-07/>. Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that goes on. This series highlights interesting happenings in five different areas every week. It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just quick summaries with links to each. Here are the five things for October 7th, 2014: Fedora Project Board finalizes Fedora Council --------------------------------------------- The Fedora Board and others in the community have been working on a proposal to rearrange the highest level of project governance and leadership. As board member John Rose notes in a message sent to several key mailing lists, “the primary motivation in doing this is to create a system of governance that includes a much more active leadership responsibility”. This proposal is now in its final draft, and the Board will be voting this week on whether to adopt it or go back to the drawing board. You can read it at * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MatthewMiller/council-draft If you have any comments or questions, I’d love to discuss! * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-October/203141.html Flock 2015 locations narrowed down to NY or CO ---------------------------------------------- Short story: while all of the bids are great, last week’s survey indicates that Rochester and Colorado Springs are the leading options. Flock organizer Ruth Suehle breaks down the details in a post on the Flock planning list, and notes that the Flock planning team will be working on cost analysis and choosing final dates for next summer’s big Flock to Fedora contributor conference. * http://fedoramagazine.org/flock-2015-bids-are-in-choose-between-cape-cod-... * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/flock-planning/2014-October/000... * http://flocktofedora.org/ What’s coming in Workstation ---------------------------- Christian Schaller blogs about progress on Fedora Workstation, noting specifically progress on Wayland (a new display technology that hopes eventually to be the successor to X11), new upstream Human Interface Guidelines, and the improved software installation GUI. Christian concludes: > [...] as we go towards Fedora Workstation 22 the pace of innovation > and progress will only pick up. So great things are ahead and I hope > that once Fedora Workstation 21 is released regardless of if you are > a long time Fedora users, a lapsed former Fedora users or someone who > has never tried Fedora before you will be willing to give it a try > and hopefully become as excited about it as we are. * http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2014/10/02/fedora-workstation-progress-repo... Testing Fedora 21 in Rackspace Cloud ------------------------------------ Interested in trying the Fedora 21 alpha (and upcoming beta) but aren’t ready to put it on your own hardware? Fedora contributor and Rackspace hacker Major Hayden posted an Ansible playbook which converts a Fedora 20 instance running on Rackspace Cloud into a Fedora 21 test system. Cool! * https://github.com/major/ansible-rax-fedora21 Rawhide: getting better all the time ------------------------------------ Fedora Infrastructure team lead (and FESCo member, and many many other roles in Fedora) Kevin Fenzi posted This week in rawhide, the early October edition. Rawhide is the always-changing development branch that runs ahead of even the alpha and beta releases — so right now, it’s a long-removed preview of next year’s Fedora 22. Kevin notes some important changes in the works, including signed packages (currently, only the packages in the release branches are signed), and the goal of making “test composes” every night. Currently, test composes are kicked off by Release Engineering manually, and every six months there seems to have been enough change that the process needs tweaking, sometimes leading to delays. Having that be continuous will make sure we’re always ready to go and is a big step forward towards more agile distribution development. * http://www.scrye.com/wordpress/nirik/2014/10/03/this-week-in-rawhide-the-... -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> Fedora Project Leader mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org <http://fedoraproject.org/>

ABRT backtrace generation - how long to wait?

by Ian Pilcher

LibreOffice just crashed on me, and I'm currently waiting on the retrace server to generate a backtrace. In fact, I've been waiting for about 50 minutes so far. My question is when I should just give up and (possibly) try to generate it locally. Anyone know? -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ========================================================================

Expected login behavior with gnome?

by Richard Shaw

I had forgotten that my computer shut down (bad UPS battery) and had rebooted it but not logged in. Later that day I typed in my password forgetting that i hadn't logged in while I waited for the monitor to wake up (bad practice, I know...) Interestingly, when I clicked on my login name, the password field was populated and I was able to login without retyping it. Is this behavior expected? Thanks, Richard

Setup for a static ethernet connection

by Geoffrey Leach

I have a hard-wired ethernet connection. I'm trying to get Fedora 19 to work with it. Firewalld configuration has scripts added to open a route to the device. AFAIK, these are correct. The device is known to work. Here's the entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts NAME="eno1" DEFROUTE="yes" IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="no" IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL="no" TYPE="Ethernet" ONBOOT="yes" PEERROUTES="yes" IPV6INIT="yes" IPV6_PEERDNS="yes" PEERDNS="yes" HWADDR="E8:40:F2:05:DE:1C" #BOOTPROTO="dhcp" BOOTPROTO="static" IPV6_DEFROUTE="yes" IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes" IPV6_PEERROUTES="yes" IPADDR="198.168.20.5" It's basically what the install gave me with the addition of IPADDR and removal of UUID (which seems to change) BOOTPROTO has changed from dhcp to static. My problem is that I can't connect to the device, despite nm-tool - Device: em1 [eno1] ---------------------------------------------------------- Type: Wired Driver: e1000e State: connected Default: no HW Address: E8:40:F2:05:DE:1C IPv4 Settings: Address: 198.168.20.5 and netstat -rn 198.168.20.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 em1 Suggestions for modifications or further diagnostics would be appreciated

my last thread about journald

by Balint Szigeti

http://blog.gerhards.net/2011/11/what-i-dont-like-about-journald.html - the true how systemd owner handles the cases http://blog.gerhards.net/2011/11/journald-log-hash-chaining-is-broken.html - What Lennart said is bullshit. If someone break in your system and can edit your syslogs it means the attacker has root access. Then who cares? Seriously? once the hacker has root rights it will run this # > /var/log/journal/<unique string>/* and the all logs attacker's fingerprints gone at once. So the security purpose is bullshit. and finally: http://blog.gerhards.net/2011/11/journald-and-rsyslog.html Everyone who reads this can decide wants to use the 'proper awesome systemd-journal' or just tolerates it on his system because it must to be on it (for reason just search in the archive).

Off topic -- Can anybody tell me what this means?

First, I apologize for this not being fedora-specific, but I just got the oddest email. It looks like an intrusion attempt, trying to get sendmail to execute a perl script.
