help - can't boot 2.6.34
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi all, My HP DC7800 with encrypted Intel SSD can boot: kernel-2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64 but not the 2.6.34 kernels like: kernel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64 The screen goes blank very early in the boot process, before the disk passphrase is requested. It happens so fast that I can't read the limited text that appears on the screen, and the disks are not mounted for logging... Anyway... maybe this rings a bell for someone? Removing and re-installing the 2.6.34 kernel doesn't fix anything. - Mike

Ugly mouse cursor
by Philip Heron 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi all, There was a discussion a while back about how to change the mouse cursor on F13 back to the previous style. What wasn't explained was why the default cursor theme was even changed? It's quite a step back compared to the old one, reminding me of something from the dark days of the Linux desktop. -Phil

flash hanging, grey window, fedora 13 64bit, upgrade, solution
by Ian Malone 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Since it hasn't come up on a quick search of the mailing list and it's sufficiently late (/early) that I don't want to have to work out where to file a bug right now (and may forget): Upgraded from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 (kudos to Fedora, generally went very smoothly, I think this is the only thing that broke). Flash stopped working, I had been using the wrapped 32bit Adobe flash package with nspluginwrapper as detailed in <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash>. However all the flash applications I tried (youtube, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) caused Firefox to go into busy mode for a while with npviewer.bin at 100% cpu. When it finally stopped, where there should have been flash there was a grey box. Running from the terminal gave: Multiple of these: (npviewer.bin:3420): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", One of these: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Then: *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue() *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue() *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue() And lots of this: (npviewer.bin:3420): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_Write() wait for reply: Message timeout *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(../src/npw-wrapper.c:2239):invoke_NPP_DestroyStream: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(plugin->connection)) *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(../src/npw-wrapper.c:2537):invoke_NPP_HandleEvent: assertion failed: I had first tried removing the packages installed during the flash install: nspluginwrapper.{x86_64,i586} alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i586 flash-plugin and then installing again, but with no success. So on a hunch I checked and discovered I only had PackageKit-gtk-module installed for 64 bit, doing a # yum install PackageKit-gtk-module.i686 fixed things again. So this should be a dependency somewhere. It may have been missed during the upgrade process in which case it's unlikely to affect many people, or it may affect a lot. Anyway, posting in case someone finds it useful. -- imalone

Attribute copying problem with "useradd"
by Chris Tyler 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

One of my students showed up with an intriguing issue yesterday. They added a /home filesystem to their F13 installation, and now "useradd" fails to completely copy /etc/skel for new users -- it stops copying with an error on setting attributes on ~/.gnome2 I've looked under the normal rocks and haven't found anything unusual yet: * strace shows that the error occurs when attempting to set extended attributes (presumably facls and selinux context) on the copied file(s) * it's not SELinux -- switching to permissive mode has no effect * the /home filesystem is ext4 and mounted with no unusual options ("defaults" in 4th column of /etc/fstab -- mount shows the options as "(rw)" only). * reformatting the filesystem does not clear the problem - whether ext3 or ext4, a freshly-created filesystem shows the same issue * umounting /home clears the problem - useradd can copy the /etc/skel files to the / filesystem just fine (/ is also an ext4 filesystem) I'm missing something -- what else should they check out? -Chris

I installed the logcheck package yesterday on my Fedora 13 system, and every hour since then have been getting emails from it with a error message like: /usr/sbin/logcheck: line 100: kill: (8338) - No such process $rpm -q logcheck logcheck-1.3.13-2.fc13.noarch Any suggestions? Thanks

Re: rsync or dd to clone a hard drive?
by Lets Go Canes 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi all. --- On Wed, 10/6/10, Maxime Alarie <malarie(a)processia.com> wrote: > I know rsync will resync where it left off if I encounter a > problem, what about dd?

If the target disk is the same size as the source, use "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb", with device names changed as appropriate. If they aren't the same size, and the source disk is partitioned, you might want to create partitions of the appropriate size on the target disk, and the use dd against the partitions, i.e., "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1", for each partition. Another option is to take the target disk, parition it if/as desired, do any LVM set-up desired, newfs and mount the partition/volume, and then copy from the file-system level with something like "tar -cf - /source | (cd /target;tar -xpvf - )" If the file systems don't have a lot of data in them, moving via tar can be faster. On the other hand, if the disk has multiple partitions with multiple operating systems on them, dd'ing the disk may be a lot easier. -------------- Lets Go Canes!

F13 Firewall and gateway router port forwarding
by JD 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

I have a router/gateway which forwards a few ports to my machine. Port 995 is absolutely not one of them. I checked and rechecked. My F13 iptables is instrumented to print a "Dropped" message for packets that it drops. So I was surprised to see many messages like this: Dropped by firewall: IN=wlan0 OUT= MAC=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:gg:hh:ii:jj:kk:ll:08:00 SRC=74.125.127.109 DST=10.1.1.8 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=50 ID=52856 PROTO=TCP SPT=995 DPT=57892 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 Port 995 is for SSL'ed pop protocol. I even used another machine and tried to telnet to the router's public IP address, port 995 telnet my-router-public-ip-address 995 to see if it would forward the packet to my machine. It did not and the firewall did not even see the packet. How can this happen? The packet obviously arrived from the gmail pop server, unless a clever hacker spoofed the source IP. I do not understand how any server can worm a packet to my LAN address, when the router's per-LAN-client dedicated firewalls do not provide for forwarding this port to any machine on the LAN. (yes - this router provides a separately configurable firewall and port forewading table for each LAN client) - Is it possible that the router itself got hacked?
