Problem with D-Link DGE-530T 10/100/1000 Ethernet card.
by Reg Clemens 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

When I plug this card into the motherboard backplane and boot the machine I get a 'tick tick tick' noise and never get to the point where the Video card writes to the Monitor screen. I have a half dozen OTHER D-Link cards, and have never had a problem (hence buying this one when I wanted a 1GB card) Ive tried it in a couple three different slots, always the same response. Any thoughts? For problems they point to a WEB site, which doesnt seem to have any LINUX info, and e-mail and an 800 number which I will try tomorrow, but if anyone has any thoughts tonight I would appreciate hearing them. I mean 'tick tick tick' that almost sounds like a bad card, or a card not seatng all the way into the slot, but before I would accuse them of that, I would want to try it in another machine, and Im not up to that tonight. -- Reg.Clemens reg(a)dwf.com

Network manager can erroneously report that the system is off-line, and certain software would drop into off-line mode. If you don't use network manager, then completely turn off the service. And it should stop affecting software in that manner. If you don't want Firefox to be controlled by it, then you can turn that feature off in Firefox. Type about:config into the address bar, type networkmanager into the filter bar, change the toolkit.networkmanager.disable preference value to true (double clicking it will toggle its status). There's probably a similar problem, and solution, for Thunderbird. Evolution also gets affected by NetworkManager, but I've not looked for a work around. I just make sure the network's up before I start the program. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.

If so, is NM actually managing your interface? If NM is running but not managing the interface, some apps think they are offline when they aren't. This happens with Evolution and (I think) with Firefox as well. Solution: straighten out your NM setup (it's probably enough just to right-click on the NM applet and mark the interface), or don't use it. poc

Nvidia Quadro FX 3700M and Fedora 10
by Kevin Kempter 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi All; I've installed Fedora 10 on a new laptop with an Nvidia Quadro FX 3700M graphics card. The card will do 1920x1200 resolution however the kmod-nvidia driver from rpmfusion doesnt work properly (at least I suspect the kmod-nvidia driver to be the issue - however I could be wrong) Once installed all the queries I can run such as xrand and nvidia-settings specify that I'm running at 1920x1200 however I know that's not true - I recently had CentOS installed and it (without the kmod-nvidia driver) gave me true 1920x1200 and the difference is huge. So, my hunch is that I'm slightly ahead of the curve per hardware and soon enough a driver that works with my video card will come along. Meanwhile I've poked around at the nvidia site for linux drivers and I find that there is support for the FX 3700, but not the FX 3700M. Does anyone know what the difference might be between the FX 3700 and the FX 3700 M (Mobile)? I wonder if it would be wise to download and install the FX 3700 driver and see if it works ? Thoughts ? Thanks in advance

fedora 9 live firewall
by Eric Penrose 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I find it confusing that the settings on fedora 9 live for firewall are such that we tick the options that we trust such as secure http or http. If firewall is on anyway, what is the implication of setting these internet options to trust as opposed to leaving firewall on, but without these trust settings when going on line?

I thought, after reading the FAS stuff, that FAS was really only for developers that were adding value to Fedora thru software/coding additions/updates. Thanks again. Kevin

Revisor
by Martin Schiøtz 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi Does somebody know what's going with the revisor project? The mailing list revisor-users(a)fedoraunity.org does not seem to work. When I try to post to the list i get an error message from the list server. All posts on the revisor-users and revisor-devel stopped at the 14th of october? I have been trying to build CentOS and Fedora on Fedora 9 and 10 with revisor for some time now with no succes at all. I have been trying different versions of revisor and different kinds builds (with CentOS and Fedora) on both Fedora 9 and 10. The result is alway some kind of error doing the beginning of the install process of the builded CD or DVD images. Has anybody have any succes building images with revisor lately? Best regards, Martin

F8 (and FX?]: Sendmail, Spamassassin, and Spamass-Milter issues.
by Dan Thurman 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Folks, I have updated my F8 system and my spamassassin/spamass-milter have crapped out. Here is what I found, with no resolution: 1) Entries in: /etc/mail/sendmail.mc ============================================================= INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav-milter', `S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock, F=,T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock, F=,T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `spamassassin,clamav-milter')dnl ============================================================= 2) Entries in: /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter ============================================================= No changes needed because the default spamass-milter socket is: /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock and no options needed either. ============================================================= 3) With sendmail stopped, maillog cleared, and when spamass-milter starts: [root@linux mail]# service spamass-milter start Starting SpamAssassin milter (spamass-milter): [ OK ] [root@linux mail]# tail -f /var/log/maillog: ============================================================= Dec 2 12:10:24 linux sendmail[10575]: mB2KAOt9010575: from=sa-milt, size=195, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200812022010.mB2KAOt9010575(a)linux.cdkkt.com>, relay=sa-milt@localhost Dec 2 12:10:24 linux sendmail[10575]: mB2KAOt9010575: to=root, ctladdr=sa-milt (487/478), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30195, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Dec 2 12:10:34 linux sendmail[10583]: mB2KAYI8010583: from=sa-milt, size=195, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200812022010.mB2KAYI8010583(a)linux.cdkkt.com>, relay=sa-milt@localhost ============================================================= So, everything appears to be normal, right? Oh wait! ========= Notice this: ========= # ls -l /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock ls: cannot access /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock: No such file or directory YOU CANNOT START SPAMASS_MILTER IF THERE IS NO PREVIOUS SOCKET INSTALLED NOR WILL IT INSTALL ONE! DANG!! THE SERVICE DOES NOT CHECK TO MAKE SURE A SOCKET EXISTS AND SPEW NO ERROR IF THERE IS NO SOCKET? If you attempt to start sendmail, IT WILL FAIL. IT WILL REFUSE TO START. Seems I might have a way out, let's see. Lets see if we can MANUALLY start it: # /usr/sbin/spamass-milter -p '/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock' -f <no error is reported on the command line> and of course the log information in maillog simply says 'connection refused' since sendmail is not running. But wait: is spamass-milter running? really?? # pgrep spamass-milter 14339 14814 Oh gawd - two of 'em running!?!? Nope, won't do. Kill them with: # service spamass-milter stop [Displays stop results] # pgrep spamass-milter [nothing displayed, great] # /usr/sbin/spamass-milter -p '/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock' -f [nothing displayed, great] # pgrep spamass-milter 14973 Geez. Finally - I have ONE spamass-milter running. 4) Starting sendmail: ============================================================= [root@linux spamass-milter]# service sendmail start Starting sendmail: 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1714: Xspamassassin: local socket name /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock unsafe: Permission denied [FAILED] Starting sm-client: [ OK ] [root@linux spamass-milter]# ======================= Say what? Permissions problem!? Let's see: [root@linux spamass-milter]# ls -lZ /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock srwxr-xr-x root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock Oh man. Seems that starting the spamass-milter improperly creates the sockets with the wrong security context and assigns root ownership? Perhaps things are different were it started as a service? Dunno, but moving on... Ok, well, let's see if we can fix the security context: [root@linux spamass-milter]# restorecon -v '/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock' restorecon reset /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0->system_u:object_r:spamd_var_run_t:s0 Interesting. Why did running spamass-milter create and unconfined_u and var_run_t security context for it's socket? Let's check the directory holding this socket: [root@linux dant]# ls -lZd /var/run/spamass-milter/ drwxr-xr-x sa-milt sa-milt system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 /var/run/spamass-milter/ Looks good to me. I did this so that I'd have a reference for later on when the sendmail and it's milters start running... Ok, let see if we can get sendmail started once again: [root@linux spamass-milter]# service sendmail start Starting sendmail: [ OK ] Yeah. that seemed to work... so let see what the maillogs and message logs says" [root@linux mail]# tail -f /var/log/maillog: ============================================================= Dec 2 12:15:51 linux sendmail[10873]: alias database /etc/aliases rebuilt by dant Dec 2 12:15:51 linux sendmail[10873]: /etc/aliases: 91 aliases, longest 25 bytes, 1101 bytes total Dec 2 12:15:51 linux sendmail[10878]: starting daemon (8.14.2): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00 Dec 2 12:15:52 linux sm-msp-queue[10887]: starting daemon (8.14.2): queueing@01:00:00 ============================================================vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Dec 2 12:15:53 linux sendmail[10889]: mB2KFqPe010889: Milter (spamassassin): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock Dec 2 12:15:53 linux sendmail[10889]: mB2KFqPe010889: Milter (spamassassin): to error state ===============================================================^^^^^^^^ But notice this, from /var/log/messages: ============================================================= Dec 2 13:38:44 linux setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing sendmail (sendmail_t) "connectto" to /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock (unconfined_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 83175cb8-f9dd-4451-af8a-122502520e54 ============================================================= Huh? I just fixed the security context earlier when I manually started spamass-milter, so why does SELinux *think* that the socket still has the "unconfined_t" security context? Let's see: Let's restart the setroubleshoot service, perhaps it is `out of sync'? [root@linux dant]# service setroubleshoot restart Stopping setroubleshootd: [ OK ] Starting setroubleshootd: [ OK ] Looking at the logs again, the darn thing (setroubleshoot) SHUT UP! No more alerts to spamass-milter socket! But DANG!! There is another problem.... in /var/log/maillog: ============================================================= Dec 2 13:51:03 linux sendmail[15554]: mB2Lp2UC015554: Milter (spamassassin): error connecting to filter: Permission denied ============================================================= What filter are they talking about? Is it a sendmail or spamassasin (or spamass-milter) issue? I am not at this point even sure what is going on nor what the consequences of ignoring this error message would mean. Perhaps someone could care to comment? Seems to me that there are no other error messages reported except for repeated and interspersed "Permission denied" errors similar to the above log message and it appears every time a new message comes in. Alas - after coming this far, if the system reboots - all bets are off and I'd have to go though this whole scenario again. Perhaps someone could take a look at it and get it fixed (assuming it is not some stupid configuration issue on my part)? Thanks, Dan

firefox flash sound again?
by Tom Horsley 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

On 64 bit fedora 10, I do not get sound with the nspluginwrapper and 32 bit flash plugin. Is this just a case of not having all the 32 bit alsa libs installed? Anyone know which subset of *alsa*.i386 packages I need? (assuming missing libs are really my problem).
