Help using scripts when USB devices plug-in
by Samuel Díaz García 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, I'm searching how-to use a script when I connect my webcam or my movil USB cable. For example, when I connect the USB movile cable, I need to put 666 permisions on /dev/ttyACM0 detected device, or when I plug-in my webcam into my notebook, I need the same into /dev/video0 device. Where I can add these scripts to allow all users to take control over the pluged-in devices? Thanks -- Samuel Díaz García Director Gerente ArcosCom Wireless, S.L.L.

Dynamic DNS and failed journal
by Brian Chadwick 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi On FC5 I have dhcpd running and attemtping to update the DNS server from DHCP. a log output from bind is as follows: 31-Jul-2006 17:27:55.658 general: notice: running 31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.013 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826: updating zone 'bac.org.au/IN': adding an RR at 'box.bac.org.au' A 31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.014 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826: updating zone 'bac.org.au/IN': adding an RR at 'box.bac.org.au' TXT 31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.015 general: info: journal file /var/named/bac.org.au.hosts.jnl does not exist, creating it 31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.016 general: error: /var/named/bac.org.au.hosts.jnl: create: permission denied 31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.016 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826: updating zone 'bac.org.au/IN': error: journal open failed: unexpected error I am sure my dhcpd and named config files are ok, as far as allowing dynamic updates are concerned anyway ... but there seems to be a permission problem in trying to create bind's zone journal. I have fiddled with permissions, even going so far as to use 777 !! ... but the error persists. The update apparantly fails because this journal can not be created and/or written. This is a stock standard FC5 installation. I suspect this is something to do with the chrooted environment in which bind is running .... Any ideas people?

Anti-Novell press briefing may not play well with Xensource

'' Xen not ready for prime-time, says Red Hat By Renai LeMay, ZDNet Australia 31 July 2006 06:04 PM A senior Red Hat executive today maintained the Xen open source virtualisation environment was not yet ready for enterprise use, despite "unbelievable" customer demand and the fact rival Novell has already started shipping the software. Xen, which is primarily being developed by US-based startup XenSource, allows users to run multiple operating systems as guest virtual machines on the same hardware, potentially allowing for greater utilisation of resources. But while rival Novell this month started shipping the software with version 10 of its SUSE Linux Enterprise Server environment, Red Hat continues to have a lack of confidence in the virtualisation newcomer. "XenSource is not stable yet, it's not ready for the enterprise," Red Hat's vice president of International Operations, Alex Pinchev, told ZDNet Australia today via telephone. "We don't feel that XenSource is stable enough to address banking, telco, or any other enterprise customer, so until we are comfortable, we will not release it." Taking the customer viewpoint, he said: "If the National Australia Bank wants to implement virtualisation and it's not stable, you can imagine what they will tell us." Instead of trying to play catch up with Novell and simply shipping Xen as included software with Red Hat's operating system, Red Hat will attempt to build a full virtualisation platform around the product in the next version of its Red Hat Enterprise Linux server software, due to be released in December. ...'' http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Xen_not_ready_for_prime_time_says…

Firefox critical updates?
by Greg Trounson 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, Does anyone here know when Firefox 1.5.0.5 is due to hit yum repositories? There's several major security updates[*] in this release, and with published exploits widely available it's only a matter of time before we start seeing compromised FC5 boxes.

evolution, kill me now
by Ric Moore 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Here I sit, using firefox to access my gmail account directly because evolution in the last couple of weeks has been misbehaving sending mail. It's retrieving like a charm but will not send. I'd edited the darn send part until I turn blue in the face. Is anyone else having this problem? Did some yum update blow it up? Something is surely amiss as everything is configured the way gmail sez set it and nothing has changed, that I am aware of, for it to blow up. If anyone has a hint, I could sure use it. Ric

FC5 hangs for no detectable reason
by Thomas Fischer 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

All, I recently upgraded my FC4 installation (last week to be precise) to FC5. I have installed all the updates for FC5. It is installed on a DELL Latitude c610. My problem is that after a given period of time - which varies, it can be 10 minutes or many hours. The system just hangs/freezes. I get no keyboard/mouse or screen response and I can't go into the console to check for a panic. No errors are shown in the logs. Since it really is random, I am unable to reproduce it. Can anyone give me some ideas on how I might capture an error condition to find out what is doing this? thanks --t

Re: Dynamic DNS and failed journal
by Brian Chadwick 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Thanks for your comment Paul The thing is, when bind chroots, it should have writeable access to its own /var/named, which as far as the host is concerned, is actually /var/named/chroot/var/named. its needs to know where to load its zone information from, ie. /var/named, then chroots. I cant see how that should be a problem for bind to write to its own /var/named directory. Anyway I tried it, and changed options directory /var/named to /var/named/slaves .... naturally, bind couldnt find zone information ... I suspect there is something more intriguing afoot. Thanks anyway :)
