SE Linux error in logwatch (sendmail)
by Christofer C. Bell 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

When cron.daily runs, I get the following error related to sendmail and logwatch: /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch: Can't exec "sendmail": Permission denied at /usr/sbin/logwatch line 1032, <TESTFILE> line 2. Can't execute sendmail -t: Permission denied The SE Linux error is: type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1280304906.187:42655): security_compute_sid: invalid context system_u:system_r:logwatch_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 for scontext=system_u:system_r:logwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:sendmail_exec_t:s0 tclass=process Here is the relevant section of /usr/sbin/logwatch: #Use mailer = in logwatch.conf to set options. Default should be "sendmail -t" #In theory this should be able to handle many different mailers. I might need to add #some filter code on $Config{'mailer'} to make it more robust. -mgt open(OUTFILE,"|$Config{'mailer'}") or die "Can't execute $Config{'mailer'}: $!\n"; my $mailto = $Config{"mailto_$Config{'hostname'}"}; $mailto = $Config{'mailto'} unless $mailto; for my $to (split(/ /, $mailto)) { print OUTFILE "To: $to\n"; } print OUTFILE "From: $Config{'mailfrom'}\n"; print OUTFILE "Subject: Logwatch for $Config{'hostname'} (${OStitle})\n"; The open statement (right under the comments) is line 1032. Is this something that a bug needs to be opened on or is there a context change on a file I can run to correct this? I'm not able to use the SE Linux Troubleshooter because it generates the following error (a bug to submit): "Error while checking policy version." Thanks. -- Chris

DVD burned from iso image, and checksumed against downloaded iso checksums (and computed checksums), will not boot up so I can install F12. I get a blank white screen after pressing enter at the boot: prompt. Any one with experience on PPC with F12 or earlier? What's the trick to booting it?

Kernel-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.i686 slows down XOrg
by Jürgen Dankoweit 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hello to the list, after updating to the new kernel the graphics performance is incredible slow. I think that the accelleration code in XOrg and kernel are not compatible. This was the problem with the last kernel/XOrg combination. old kernel: kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 new kernel: kernel-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.i686 X.Org X Server 1.7.6 Release Date: 2010-03-17 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: x86-02 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i68 Kernel command line: ro root=UUID=27547ae9-3737-4bd1-b859-0ebf6beb461f noiswmd Build Date: 16 April 2010 07:07:54AM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.7.6-4.fc12 Best regards Juergen

Hi The NVIDIA driver installer complains that it can't find the kernel source files and headers in Fedora 13. Are they part of the standard distribution? If so, where are they? If they are not how can I install them? Thanks. George

system mail
by Petrus de Calguarium 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

When I receive system mail, I read it on the command line with the 'mail' program. It appears to be called Heirloom Mail version 12.4 7/29/08. Now, as I scroll down, I see that the system mail is sent as: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ANSI_X3.4-1968" However, my system is set up to use UTF-8. Why is this charset wrong, or not respecting my system setting? How can I get it corrected?

Anything for home user and not the technical one??
by Parshwa Murdia 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

I have installed fedora 11 with windows xp, though the PC is for home use only. Like i have to use the documents editing, and the related works. So i have two questions, but first of all, i am going to ask only the first one in this thread: For only home users, who want to use fedora (and have version 11, that is, fedora 11) apart from the deep technological concepts which are very well revealed here, what a user who has no programming base, can start to go in fedora? like windows if GUI, so home persons can use it widely because everything is GUI. Thoguh fedora also may be GUI nowadays, but if someone want to start learning (for home purposes only), where should he start from knowing that there is only one PC, on which both - fedora as well as xp is installed. The main thing PC is used is for watching movies, listening music, documents editing and kids play. but a home user can himself (with no more hardware) and with a single pc (with net connection) can learn in this scenario as far as fedora usage is concerned? Regards, Parshwa Murdia

Fedora13 snapshot broken?
by Bill Davidsen 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Before I put in a CZ entry, in GNOME is the screen shot program broken? When I select "select the current window" it picks the whole root window instead of the current window. Running an Intel i9125 chipset in VESA mode (the Intel drivers don't work), 1280x1024 (why would that matter?) and tested over multiple users so it isn't in the desktop options. -- Bill Davidsen
