Sound problem F10
by Croombe F. Pensom 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

I have now done five installs of F10 (see my message about root usage). The system sounds work once and once only. After a system sound has been sounded, there is no more sound. Any ideas? CroombeFP -- This e-mail produced entirely under Linux. Absolutely NO M$ products have been used.

Delay in the activation of the routes at startup
by webmyster 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi, I have a fedora 10 installed on a computer. I noticed a delay in the activation of the routes during the startup process through network startup script. Actually, I run a "ping -c 50 xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt > /var/log/startup.ping" (while xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt is a valid computer IP adress) just after the automatic startup execution of the script /etc/rc.d/init/network. The ping first start by answer several "Destination Host Unreachable". Then after about 25 fail, the ping gets reply from the host. A while the "route -n > /var/log/startup.route" command before the startup ping shows that whole routes are valid (ie : no difference after and before the pings). Do you have an idea of the reason of this delay in the activation of the routes ? Regards, Damien Touraine

I activated the include from ipsec.conf, as i inserted a client.conf on the client side and a server.conf on the server-side :) Service ipsec starts. Then, trying to connect using ipsec auto --up road fails. In the logs, i see the following: UNKNOWN: Feb 1 14:12:10 server pluto[22104]: "road"[21] 192.168.3.116 #21: no RSA public key known for '@mydomain.net' and Peer road[456] caused 16 lines of output. connected from:192.168.3.116 Keyed: 0 successes 1 failures (max retries: 0) IPsec SAs: 0 What do those messages mean? from server and client, i just copied the output from the rightsigkey or leftsigkey (which are on the machine both the same?) using ipsec showhostkey --left/right into the according configs. Or do i have to copy the whole bunch of lines of the key? My machines are FQDN via DNS, but not on local name resolution. So asking my server via dns brings server(a)mydomain.net, the entry in the resolv.conf is without the domain-part. Thanks for your help. Roger

Preupgrade failure
by Timothy Murphy 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

I've been trying to upgrade a Thinkpad T23 (ie very ancient) laptop from Fedora-9 to Fedora-10 by running preupgrade. The first stage - downloading the RPMs, etc - works fine, and when I re-boot the install.img gets downloaded OK. But then I get an error message suggesting that I "Try re-load". I've repeated the process 3 or 4 times without success. Fortunately, the old Fedora-9 system still seems to work fine. I vaguely recall reading about some magic formula that I can add to the Fedora-10 install entry in grub.conf , but have not been able to find this with google.

rsync using sudo.
by Gary Artim 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

/usr/bin/rsync --stats -ae "ssh" --rsync-path="sudo /usr/bin/rsync" /my rsync@host1:/backup/my I'm running the above command as user rsync (on both the local and remote system). Both rsync users are in /etc/sudoers and permitted to run the command as root /usr/bin/rsync and I have ssh-kegen stuff setup correctly. tested aka: ssh host1 who (no passwd asked for) The problem: the local files get permission denied on root owned files subdirs. If I add sudo /usr/bin/rsync --stats -ae "ssh" --rsync-path="sudo /usr/bin/rsync" /my rsync@host1:/backup/my I get prompted for a ssh passwd. Has anyone solved or done this? Any help would be great! -- Gary
