Fedora 10 (Rawhide) missing pand - UPDATED
by Andrew Kenton Mitchell 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

I sent a message asking for advice/help yesterday. Sorry if I'm burdening anybody's in box, however, I have more info and I wanted to share. The rawhide bluez-utils package seems to be missing /usr/bin/pand. I tried to add the --enable-pand witch and rebuild the RPM from sources however, bluez-utils-3.36-2.fc10.src.rpm doesn't seem to want to extract on my system. I dug around to see if pand was provided by a differing package: # yum whatprovides */pand Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit bluez-utils-3.36-2.fc10.i386 : Bluetooth utilities Matched from: Filename : /etc/rc.d/init.d/pand Filename : /etc/sysconfig/pand bluez-utils-3.36-2.fc10.i386 : Bluetooth utilities Matched from: Filename : /etc/rc.d/init.d/pand Filename : /etc/sysconfig/pand Then I decided to try a bluez-utils reinstall: ]# yum install bluez-utils Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package bluez-utils.i386 0:3.36-2.fc10 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: bluez-utils i386 3.36-2.fc10 rawhide 483 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 483 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: bluez-utils-3.36-2.fc10.i386.rpm | 483 kB 00:03 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : bluez-utils [1/1] service bluetooth does not support chkconfig Installed: bluez-utils.i386 0:3.36-2.fc10 Complete! The init script error surprised me. Does anybody know if this is a just a bug. Is pand being depreciated? If so, what is the replacement? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can anybody suggest a fix or alternative? -- Andrew Kenton Mitchell

MacBook Pro FC9 Issues
by Rupak kumar Bag 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Wondering if any of you folks have tried FC9 on the latest Mac Book Pro (I just got one a month back). I am facing 2 problems with my machine: 1) MBP has bcm4328 chipset and I have ndiswrapper and network manager installed. Network manager is behaving randomly in the sense that sometimes it allows me to connect to a secure WPA wireless connection but sometimes denies me connection asking me to type the connection password again. Retyping password doesn;t necessrily lets me in, but I keep trying 1-2 more times and it lets me in. I tried blacklisting

Privilege factors
by Gopal Ghosh 10 Sep '08

Dear All, could any one help me with Privilege available to *root /su/ sudo and also the difference between the above three **************************************************************** [gopalghosh@localhost ~]$ whoami gopalghosh [gopalghosh@localhost ~]$ login login: root Password: Login incorrect {why it is saying Login incorrect as I am typing the correct password} [gopalghosh@localhost ~]$ login login: root Password: Login incorrect [gopalghosh@localhost ~]$ su Password: {when I logged as su it accepted the same password} [root@localhost gopalghosh]# sudo ls Desktop Documents Download Music Pictures Public Templates Videos [root@localhost gopalghosh]# exit exit [gopalghosh@localhost ~]$ sudo nano We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. [sudo] password for gopalghosh: gopalghosh is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. {how to add my local login in sudoers file} [gopalghosh@localhost ~]$ ****************************************************** Thanksregards
