password question.
by Steven W. Orr 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Under F9, I want to create an account such that the user will be required to change the password on login, but I don't have control over how soon (or late) the user will get to that first login. Is there a way to do it? The passwd command didn't look like it had anything useful. TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

Openbox/Gnome not an option anymore
by Ivan Virgili 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I updated my system and do not have Openbox/Gnome as an option anymore. openbox-gnome-session has disappeared from /usr/bin/, wheras the openbox-kde-session is still there. Is someone else experiencing the same problem? Do you know how to fix it? openbox-3.4.7.2-6.fc10.i386 Thanks, Ivan ----- Ivan Virgili http://www.ivanvirgili.com GNU/Linux user #292882 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Openbox-Gnome-not-an-option-anymore-tp20232372p202323… Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: Firefox not opening from Thunderbird links: error, launching default action command

That was the needed pointer. The script at /usr/lib/thunderbird-xxxx calls gconftool-2 to get a key /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command which pointed to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox as the executable. Unfortunately my downgrade to version 2 replaced the /usr/lib/firefox folder with /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.17 and the reference failed. Creation of a symlink solved the problem.

Bug ? "Save As" dialog box should not start with /tmp by default
by Reuben D. Budiardja 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hello, Here's a scenario that just happened to my wife that should not. This is on Fedora 8. 1. Open a document from email attachment (with Kmail), that opens in OpenOffice 2. "Save As" the document so that it can be edited. 3. Openoffice "Save As" dialog open with the default directory "/tmp/kde-username" because that's where Kmail put its attachment 4. In a hurry, just name the file something else 5. Edit the file, Save, shutdown the computer 6. Next time computer boot up, document gone I know all the arguments blaming the user. As a technical person, regretably that was my first reaction also. On second thought, for regular user, who can tell what /tmp is ? Regular user does not know that /tmp are cleaned every reboot. Furthermore, in a hurry, if one just want to save quickly so that it can be used the next time computer boots up, it's understandable that user makes the mistake to save the document to whatever default directory is presented by the dialog box (thinking one can always re-open it from "Recent Document" menu). This is not limited to Kmail or Openoffice, I just tried and it's the same with KPDF, Kghostview, etc. Firefox opening files in application also has similar problem. What should be the general solutions for this ? Should this be the responsibility of the desktop environment project (ie. KDE, GNOME) from their "Save As" dialog rather than each individual apps ? I'm thinking of filling a bug report but then I'm not sure whom I should file this with. I can think of some hacky band-aid solution to prevent document loss next time like a rotating backup of /tmp for the next two reboot or edit the boot up script to not delete /tmp, etc, but none of those is a good enough general solution. Maybe it should be sometime like: 1. Default to $HOME directory for saving if file is opened from /tmp 2. Have a shortcut in the dialog to go to the directory where the document is opened from (ie. "/tmp/kde-username") for the case where one would actually just want to save a temporary file there. Probably have a "warning" and a "don't warn me again" or "do this automatically next time" preference. Thoughts ? Thanks for any discussion. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.

Apache issues on Fedora 9
by Seann Clark 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

All, I have two issues, one is with the build itself, and the other is one of those "I can't figure it out myself" issues. Lets start with the one that is less user error based. I have a server that is running fedora 9 x64 that runs decently, but the parent process SegFaults when issued a reload command (service httpd reload) but is fine, no problem when I restart it, instead of reload it. I don't have any trace information, and don't know if it is dumping a core. I have had this problem for a while (since going with F9, up from F7 on a 32bit box) and I am wondering if anyone else has seen this problem, and if so, what they did to fix it, if they did. My restart work around works for me right now, I am just wondering if this has been seen elsewhere. Package/Install information appended to the end of the message for the sake of clarity. My second issue, which I know is something I am doing wrong, but I can't figure out what is that I have one server, servicing my .net site, which has been up with the same config for about two years. I have expanded out domains to include a .org and a .com, which I would like to virtualhost. Problem is, with the virtual host configurations I have had set up, I get one of two results, either it only hits the first virtual, or it hits the default all the time (.net) even though it is getting the .com or .org header as the requested site (which should trigger the server name aspect and serve the correct content.l The configuration has been tried two ways, both as adding on to the .net configuration: adding in .conf files in /etc/httpd/conf.d as well as adding in the Virtual server statements in httpd.conf (not both at the same time, ever since it is conflicting information) I also have it set to listen for named virtual servers on the servers IP address. A snippet from the httpd.conf file is: NameVirtualHost *:80 #VirtualHost example: #Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container. #The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known #server name. <VirtualHost *:*> ServerAdmin webmaster(a)tsukinokage.net DocumentRoot /var/www/commercial/ ServerName www.tsukinokage.com ServerAlias www.tsukinokage.com *.tsukinokage.com ServerPath /commercial/ RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(/commercial/.*) /www/commercial$1 ErrorLog logs/commercial_error_log CustomLog logs/commercial_access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:*> ServerAdmin webmaster(a)tsukinokage.net DocumentRoot /var/www/org/ ServerName www.tsukinokage.org ServerAlias www.tsukinokage.org *.tsukinokage.org ServerPath /org/ RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(/org/.*) /www/tsukinokage$1 ErrorLog logs/org_error_log CustomLog logs/org_access_log common </VirtualHost> This information is added onto the end of the working config for the .net site. I have even tried changing listening ports and still I get only the content from the net site, even though it is in a different directory that isn't listed for the other configs. I am rather stumped, and nothing I have tried off examples and the apache site have worked for me Any help would be appreciated. .

mount relatime option / Ext3-fs: Unrecognized mount option ...
by Gary Artim 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi -- Last night I added to all my ext3 filesystem relatime, replacing noatime. I never remount the filesystems (my error). I then ran: 'yum update', and it installed a new kernel and initrd, 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64. From then on when I tried to boot I got: ext3-fs: Unrecognized mount option 'relatime or missing value, mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysrout as ext3: invalid Argument. I booted knoppix, mount my fs, changed fstab,mtab, sync sync and it kept complaining about relatime. Then I stumbled on a link saying the relatime is passed automatically by the kernel or ? (it was late, head sore from banging it) I rebooted the old kernel/initrd and it came up. I catted /proc/mounts and it showed relatime as a option, checked /etc/fstab /etc/mtab and they all have noatime (with relatime removed -- verifying my knoppix routine worked). Can anyone explain this? I'd like to be able to go forward with 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64. I think (no proof) that the install of the kernel removed something (?) needed for ext3 fs to mount cleanly, thanks for any help! -- Gary

When using Firefox, by pressing Ctrl++ to incease font size, the line width will increase as the fonts are getting bigger, is this the problem of firefox or the design of web page?
