question(s) on Brassero (maybe bug)
by Paul Allen Newell 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

I am trying out burning DVDs on F14 and I am seeing some weirdness that I would like to understand before I call it a bug. I burn a directory on F14. The directory structure is deep (as in greater than the pop-up notice of 7) and the names should be within 60 characters. Brassero asks me about renaming to be Windows compatible owing to 64 characters and I disable since no files should hit that limit (and testing later indicates there are no 64+ file names). Brassero gets all wound up over the depth of the directory tree and I tell it just add them. The burned disk is exactly what I would expect on Linux/F14 On Windows, it is a useless work of whatever. It can't read anything and everything is all CAPS. I know that Windows is an all CAPS under the hood from long ago ... but I've been able to work case-sensitive on my XP for awhile. Since I have to assume that I am not understanding things, can anyone tell me how to use Brassero to get a exact copy? The Brassero->help just tells me about the pop-ups I already see. I can burn a DVD on Windows XP with Nero that is readable on Windows and Linux, hard to believe that native Fedora can't do the same (???) I do not want to burn an iso ... I want a DVD burn which I can access as a normal Linux/Window directory. Thanks in advance, Paul

Will there still be an option to install the new grub 2 in the os partition instead of the disk boot partition? Frode Petersen

corrupted MAC error using scp
by Gerhard Magnus 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

I'm at my wits end with this problem: A small LAN with three boxes and hardwired ethernet connections through a router. PuteF: server, running FC15 (x86) and LXDE PuteB: running FC13 (386) and gnome PuteD: running FC15 (386) and KDE I can transfer files between PuteB and PuteD using scp without any problems. Regardless of which machine the scp is initiated on, all file transfers between PuteF and PuteB, and between PuteF and PuteD fail with the error message "Corrupted MAC on input. Disconnecting: Packet corrupt. lost connection." The time this takes to happen varies within a few minutes. Based my not getting this error for file transfers between PuteB and PuteD (running FC13 and FC15, respectively) I assumed (1) the problem is with PuteF or its connectivity, and (2) the problem does not involve different versions of Fedora. Based on what I read on the Web about this error I assumed the hardware was at fault. So I put in a new ethernet card on PuteF and connected it to the router with a new cable. But I still get the "Corrupted MAC" error.

Hi there, Thanks for the quick replies. And about OpenJDK6 packates included on Fedora, I guess they are also built using IcedTea. But are they certified? And I guess correctly openjdk6/7 packages in Ubuntu and Debian are also built from IcedTea? Certification is the same for them or each linux distro has to make their own certification?

JDK 7 status and IcedTea
by Fernando Lozano 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi there, I saw messages on the archives stating that OpenJDK 7 would be the default Java for Fedora, such as: http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-devel-list/2011-08/msg01586.html But the features page states that OpenJDK 6 will be the default, which OpenJDK 7 as an optional preview: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Java7 Which is correct? There was any FESCo decision about this? I also see that we have IcedTea 2.0. Will Fedora OpenJDK 7 be based on IcedTea 2 or on java.net OpenJDK 7 sources? And what about certification? Is there a TCK for Java 7? Will OpenJDK 7 on Fedora be certified for Fedora 16 at release or at a later update? []s, Fernando Lozano

hostbased ssh
by Judith Flo Gaya 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello all, I would like to know if someone in the list is using hostbased ssh. I'm trying to set it up on my f14 machine and for some reason it does not work. openssh-5.5p1-21.fc14.2.x86_64 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP I made the changes on ssh_config adding EnableSSHKeysign yes Host * HostbasedAuthentication yes sshd_config HostbasedAuthentication yes I also created the shosts.equiv file and the ssh_known_host I started the sshd in a different port and within the same machine I tried to ssh to it and after a log of debug messages I see this: debug3: mm_answer_keyallowed: key 0x7f41e0034730 is not allowed and then the next auth protocol starts (in my case password). I'm able to login using password with no problem, but for some reason this key auth is not working. Does someone have this configuration working on a f14 installation? Can somebody help me? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot, j
