Re: QR code login through GDM?
by Patrick Kobly 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Now... I could imagine a use for this tech for auth. With a mobile device, you could create a soft token - where the qr code changes frequently - like with a securid. Maybe even as part of a challenge response scheme - where the challenge is displayed to the mobile device as a qr code and the device displays the response as a qr code. I am unaware of anything existing that does this. But I certainly wouldn't see a static printed qr code as useful for AuthN in just about any scenario.

I would be curious here as to why you would want to use a mean of authentication that at best is as secure as requiring your users to write their passwords on sticky notes stuck to their monitors...

Update to KDE 4.6 breaks kbluetooth
by Athmane Madjoudj 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hello, I have just applied all updated of F14 including KDE 4.6.1, now kbluetooth won't run anymore, it seems that kbluetooth is incompatible with the new kdelib (ABI change) $ kbluetooth kbluetooth: symbol lookup error: kbluetooth: undefined symbol: _ZN5Solid7Control16BluetoothManager4selfEv unnamed app(4412): Communication problem with "kbluetooth" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : " "The name org.kde.kbluetooth was not provided by any .service files" " It seems that openSuSE users have the same issue: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2011-02/msg00003.html -- Athmane Madjoudj RHCE

Just seems like a solution chasing a problem. For identification, sure a qr code might be ok... But then a username is ok for that purpose too. For authentication, though, it's generally inappropriate to use an easily duplicatable, static factor that has to be exposed during authentication (and potentially at other times). Let requirements drive tech. Don't let tech drive requirements.

OT? copy live ubuntu iso image to usb for boot
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hi, OK, I guess this would be unacceptable to ask in an Ubuntu mailing list and I was trying to get help with a Fedora iso but since F15 has been pushed back to be nice to mirrors because another distribution is releasing just before the original date, I thought I would try my luck. I am a loyal Fedora user but I have to install a Ubuntu live from an ISO. So, with Fedora, I know what to do. Download the live iso image and copy to usb using the following command: sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso /dev/sdc and everything goes through fine, with a bootable iso image created in the process. But when I try the following: sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdc I get: Verifying image... The media check is complete, the result is: NA. No checksum information available, unable to verify media. Are you SURE you want to continue? Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort WARNING: THIS WILL DESTROY ANY DATA ON /dev/sdc!!! Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort Waiting for devices to settle... mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Filesystem label=LIVE OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks 61440 inodes, 245504 blocks 12275 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=251658240 8 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 7680 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (4096 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 36 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso uses initrd.img w/o install.img Copying DVD image to USB stick Updating boot config file Installing boot loader /media/usbdev.g7vFg6/syslinux is device /dev/sdc1 USB stick set up as live image! Which is actually far less output and an useless (in terms of live or install) iso on the usb. It is however recognized as a iso, but nothing more useful than that. Any suggestions on how to do this with Fedora? I prefer commandline approaches. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

F14 server
by Aaron Gray 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Someone said not to use F14 for servers. What is the reasoning of this if it is true ? Surely with SELinux its going to be more secure than other distros ? Many thanks in advance, Aaron
