Fedora 9 64 issues or bugs?
by hce 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hi, I've just installed Fedora 9 64 and I have following two issues I am not sure whether they are bugs or I did wrong: 1. I want to change /proc/bus/usb to user level access permission. I put following statement in fstab, but does not change the uid and gid, it is still with root:root access permission. none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43 0 0 Please advice what I could be missing? What is a correct way to change USB port uid and gid in Fedora 9? 2. I am running GROME on Fedora 9. I opend 6 terminals in each WorkSpace of four WordSpace. I saved it in current session, I also ticked "save session applications when logout". But, everytime when I start the x window and the session, every WorkSpace missed 2 terminals, and the session could not place the terminals in right positions. Is it bug or what I can fix it? Thank you. Jim

Since the rpm that installed to put these I guess the key signatures can be checked against those held in the rpm-fusion web pages somewhere although at this point I must admit I could not find the key signatures anywhere! Maybe someone will enlighten me as to where they are so we can check against keys in our systems - if we want to be really paranoid! -- mike

nfs or acl?
by Michael Weiner 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Dear list readers - Having an interesting problem that i cannot seem to find a good answer for, so i thought i would throw it out to the list and maybe learn something in the process. I have an unusual issue on an auto-mounted over NFS data directory. The users are complaining that they get permission problems when copying files in their own directories, and when i took a look from one of the workstations that had the data directory mounted, at first things appeared ok, i saw what i would expect to see, example: drwxr-sr-x 2 yangj2 qinlab 98 Jun 2 20:08 PDB_files -rw-r--r-- 1 yangj2 qinlab 4567 Jan 18 2008 prompt.txt drwxr-sr-x 2 yangj2 qinlab 6 Apr 10 2007 .qt -rw-r--r-- 1 yangj2 qinlab 111789 Aug 13 12:21 Restraints.py.pdf drwxr-sr-x 18 yangj2 qinlab 18 Oct 16 11:43 Scripts drwxr-sr-x 7 yangj2 qinlab 7 Aug 4 2006 Setup_Files drwxr-sr-x 8 yangj2 qinlab 34 Aug 21 13:13 Test drwx--S--- 3 yangj2 qinlab 3 Apr 3 2007 .thumbnails drwxr-sr-x 2 yangj2 qinlab 2 Oct 31 16:39 Transfer -rw-r--r-- 1 yangj2 qinlab 2 May 10 2005 update_20060201 -rw------- 1 yangj2 qinlab 5703 Apr 10 2007 .viminfo -rw------- 1 yangj2 qinlab 160 Apr 10 2007 .Xauthority *note: that is from a fedora core 2 machine*. But when i took a look from another one of their machines mounting the exact same share, i see the following: drwxr-sr-x+ 2 yangj2 qinlab 98 2008-06-02 20:08 PDB_files -rw-r--r--+ 1 yangj2 qinlab 4567 2008-01-18 15:59 prompt.txt drwxr-sr-x+ 2 yangj2 qinlab 6 2007-04-10 13:50 .qt -rw-r--r--+ 1 yangj2 qinlab 111789 2008-08-13 12:21 Restraints.py.pdf drwxr-sr-x+ 18 yangj2 qinlab 18 2008-10-16 11:43 Scripts drwxr-sr-x+ 7 yangj2 qinlab 7 2006-08-04 15:49 Setup_Files drwxr-sr-x+ 8 yangj2 qinlab 34 2008-08-21 13:13 Test drwx--S---+ 3 yangj2 qinlab 3 2007-04-03 16:56 .thumbnails drwxr-sr-x+ 2 yangj2 qinlab 2 2008-10-31 16:39 Transfer -rw-r--r--+ 1 yangj2 qinlab 2 2005-05-10 15:20 update_20060201 -rw-------+ 1 yangj2 qinlab 5703 2007-04-10 14:38 .viminfo -rw-------+ 1 yangj2 qinlab 160 2007-04-10 14:56 .Xauthority *note: that is from a fedora 7 machine.* The mount is auto-mounted over nfs from a Solaris 10 x86 running ZFS. What is puzzling me is the '+' character in the permissions, which i am honestly unfamiliar with. After a little digging i believe this is indicative of some extended ACL that is applied somewhere but i cant seem to determine where. Its not the older FC boxes, i dont THINK its the solaris box, and i am hedging a bet its the F7 boxes, but not sure at this point exactly what it is. Is it NFSv4, or something else? And how can i remove that set bit from the files and directories. Not sure if thats really the problem, but on systems that i DONT see that '+' we dont have the problem. Any direction or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Michael Weiner

Announcing Fedora Classroom Sessions
by Kevin Fenzi 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I thought I would post here for those that haven't seen the announcement about classroom sessions yet: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-November/msg00002.… (and do consider taking a few minutes now to subscribe to fedora-announce). A few things to add to the announcement: We will be logging these classroom IRC sessions and putting them up on the fedoraproject.org wiki. So, if you are unable to attend you can take a look at the logs at your leasure. We will be holding another set of classes in december, which will be stagged so that folks in other timezones will have a better chance to attend. See the wiki page for more details. Hope to see lots of folks there! kevin

F8 dependency hell with avahi
by Beartooth 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I'm running F8 on a T30 thinkpad. Whenever I try to do yum update, I get : ===== ===== ===== ===== Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /etc/avahi/avahi-autoipd.action from install of avahi- autoipd-0.6.21-8.fc8.i386 conflicts with file from package avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386 file /usr/sbin/avahi-autoipd from install of avahi- autoipd-0.6.21-8.fc8.i386 conflicts with file from package avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386 Error Summary ------------- ===== ===== ===== ===== I've tried everything I can think of to update or get rid of that avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386 with the "fc7" in it, and nothing I know works. Pirut did claim to have removed it; but yum update still failed the same. What do I do, while I still can? Yum wants to change 124 packages, including replacing a kernel. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

gdm error messages
by Steve Blackwell 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I was looking through /var/log/messages and I came accross this error : gconfd (gdm-2770): Error setting value for `/apps/gnome-screensaver/power_management_delay': Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/gnome-screensaver/power_management_delay' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path My home directory has no read, write or execute permissions for anybody besides me so the error message is no that suprising. After a bit of googling I found a suggested solution of setting umask to 027 in /etc/init.d/functions but that interfered with loggng in resulting in no taskbar. I decided to try adding my user group to gdm's group list and changing the permissions in my home directory structure to allow anyone in my group to read, write or execute. I was suprised to find that this did not work. Is this because gdm doesn't have a login shell? I tried adding my group to a different user, logging on as that user and then writing to the gnome-screensaver directory and had no problems. How else can I get this to work? This is on a fully up-to-date F8 system. Thanks, Steve

Livna / RPMFusion updates
by Jonathan Ryshpan 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I recently accepted an update of the Livna repository info from livna-release-9-1.noarch to livna-release-9-2.noarch . This caused the availability of a large number of updates from the RPMFusion repo. Should I trust these updates? The GPG signature for the RPMFusion repo is not right now installed. Thanks - jon
