Multiple IP addresses without aliasing?
by Ryan Lynch 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Do the Fedora network init scripts support additional secondary IP addresses without the use of alias labels? Does an option for IPv4 addresses exist that works like IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES? I just skimmed /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt, but I didn't see anything to that effect, so I'm guessing the answer is no, and I have to use aliases and 'ifcfg-eth?:0' files. -R Ryan B.

xfig font failure
by John Thompson 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

I haven't used xfig since updating from Fedora-10 to Fedora-11, and today when I finally had occasion to try it, it doesn't work: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Warning: Cannot convert string "6x13" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Google tells me that Debian people found this results from a missing "gsfonts-X11" package, but Fedora has no such package. What am I missing? -- -John (john(a)os2.dhs.org)

KDE RPMs look strange -- duplicates?
by Jonathan Ryshpan 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

I have trouble with the KDE solitaire program (shameful to admit). It keeps putting up an error box saying: We are sorry KbuildSycoca closed unexpectedly and offering to let me submit a but. Unfortunately the bug submission procession produces similar messages. And, in fact, invoking "$ kbuildsycoca4" (which appears to be the actual program causing the trouble) fails, producing a similar error box. Looking over the situation, I noticed a strange thing about the KDE RPMs on the system. There seem to be duplicates, namely: kdegames-libs-4.2.4-1.fc11.x86_64 kdegames-libs-4.3.0-2.fc11.x86_64 kdegraphics-libs-4.2.4-1.fc11.x86_64 kdegraphics-libs-4.3.0-1.fc11.x86_64 kdelibs-4.2.4-6.fc11.x86_64 kdelibs-4.3.0-6.fc11.x86_64 kdelibs-common-4.2.4-6.fc11.x86_64 kdelibs-common-4.3.0-6.fc11.x86_64 kdepimlibs-4.2.4-1.fc11.x86_64 kdepimlibs-4.3.0-2.fc11.x86_64 kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.2.4-1.fc11.x86_64 kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.3.0-2.fc11.x86_64 Is this normal, or is something out of line? I run Gnome mostly, but use some KDE applications. Thanks - jon

Where is pulseaudio started?
by Steve Blackwell 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

I found this article: http://dailypackage.fedorabook.com/index.php?/archives/172-Wednesday-Why-Ho… but it appears that it no longer applies. $ ps -ef | grep pulse steve 30603 1 0 10:07 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog so either pulseaudio was started by init or whatever started it has since died. Anyway it is not started by gnome-session. $ ps -ef | grep gnome-session steve 30486 17079 0 10:07 ? 00:00:00 gnome-session I can't find any reference to pulseaudio in any init file # grep pulse /etc/*init* # So where does it get started?

non-resizable gnome-terminal
by Frank Cox 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Does anyone know how to create a non-resizable gnome-terminal? The --geometry parameter allows me to set the initial size of the terminal but it can still be resized afterward. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

F11, OpenLDAP: can append to files, but not write, acl not a mount option
by Brian Neu 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

I've installed a new F11 server, w/OpenLDAP. Users access an lvm/ext4 volume via netatalk & samba. Selinux is permissive. Some users were getting "sharing violation" or "disk full" for afp and smb respectively on some existing files, though 2.2TB are free and new files were fine. I found that when opening a shell as these users (#su - username), they indeed could NOT edit the files, at least with vim. What they could do was "append" to the files via "# echo 1 >>badfile.html ". Then after appending, vim would write to that file just fine and netatalk & samba were now happy with that file too. I've run lsattr, I've run setfacl to list permissions, I've updated the kernel, I've rebooted, I've run fsck, I've checked "mount" for acl, I've checked syslog . . . I'm stumped. I thought that if you couldn't write, you couldn't append either? Any ideas? ~]# rpm -q openldap-servers kernel pam openldap-servers-2.4.17-2.fc11.x86_64 kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 pam-1.0.91-6.fc11.x86_64

F11: CTRL-ALT-F2 not working
by Alain Spineux 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi when pressing CTRL-ALTF-F2 to switch to text console, the screen stay in graphic mode, only the mouse cursor disappears. I can blindly login, type some command; see the hard disk light blink at each command, then go back using ALT-F1 and see I logged in on tty2. But switching between tty1 an tty2 never change my display. I have a Laptop Compaq Evo N610c with a ATI RADEON Mobility M7. It was working fine with FC8. Any idea ? -- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you

Web server on virtual box - iptables design question
by jaivuk 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi guys, I have F11 on the physical box and under KVM I have virtual system where I run Apache as a web server. Physical box has two public IPs - one is used for physical box management, anohter (VDMZ_PUBL_IP) is used to access virtual system. Virtual system itself has private IPs, so I have NAT configured in IPTABLES. It also means that virtual system is not aware of it's public IP and it "thinks" it has only the private IP. Also please note to make things simple - I do not have IPTABLES rules set on the virtual server - all rules are set on physical server only. First I made SSH work so I can log-in into virtual system - it works fine. Then (using the similar rules) I configured Apache on virtual box - and it works from outside as expected. However before I setup web application from outside successfuly, I was forced to setup a fixed URI link in my application - which I did as http://public_IP/ to make it work from outside. My (design) problem occured when I discovered that actually I cannot access my Application using public IP directly from virtual system (=from inside) - as I have no rules for this situation. I tried to add some - but it did not work, however I'm in doubt if it can work at all: My idea was to set the rule in PREROUTING (on the physical box) in a way that if virtual server tries to access its own public address, it will be changed back to private one and (hopefully) forwared back: I tried both of below rules (one at a time) and none really worked: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP -i virbr0 -m physdev --physdev-in vnet1-d $VDMZ_PUBL_IP -j DNAT --to-destination $VDMZ_PRIV_IP iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP -i virbr0 -d $VDMZ_PUBL_IP -j DNAT --to-destination $VDMZ_PRIV_IP However now I'm in doubt if this is ever possible: - Will iptables allow packet to be forwarded back to the same interface where it was received from? - Or should I set some rules in Apache itself using mod_rewrite? (so in such a case packet won't leave the virtual machine) - Are there any risks with that when I decide to use HTTPS? (However HTTP only from inside of the virtual system and HTTPS from outside is acceptable as well) Is there any other solution so I can access my own system from the virtual system using it's public IP? Thank you in advance, iaiv
