Strange though. The man page for mount.ntfs has no mention of that option. Thanks Frank Mark

Why on the Earth GNOME Shell hiding Shutdown & Restart options
by Juan R. de Silva 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Could anybody explain it, why GNOME folks decided to hide the Shutdown and especially Restart buttons/options from a user so well? Is it especially dangerous to use them nowadays? Or GNOME folks assume people do not shutdown/restart their computers anymore? This "feature" could drive crazy any user new to GNOME 3.0. I tried it from the LiveCD first and get caught like a mouse in a trap. Good for me I had Internet connection and found on google, ALT button changes Suspend to Shutdown. At least I had this option. But again, since I was running it from the LiveCD I needed Restart instead. You see, Fedora boot loader was picking up and locking DVD drive after restarting system so fast, it was "mission impossible" to open a tray and to remove the CD. Since I could not figure out how to restart the system, I had to shut it down, then reached BIOS, disabled CD boot and only then I was able to remove that damn CD from a tray. "Revolution" indeed.

Protected WLAN
by Misha Shnurapet 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Hi. Which WLAN protection method would you recommend? * Shared key * WPA-Personal * WPA2-Personal My router also supports Radius with 802.1x and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, but these require strange stuff like certificates that leave me clueless. :) -- Best regards, Misha Shnurapet, Fedora Project Contributor https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shnurapet shnurapet AT fedoraproject.org, GPG: 00217306

Speakers don't Mute when headphones are plugged in (Speakers & Headphones at the same time) :S
by Manuel Escudero 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Since I bought my computer and I installed Linux on it, I had this problem... Back in the day I never Found a REAL Solution and finally my solution (in Fedora) was installing "pavucontrol" to choose the Devices when I needed to Switch. Via the Pulse Audio Volume Control I was able to Mute speakers or Headphones at my will, even if I had both connected, this thing worked from F12 to F14 very well... (The same problem is present in every distro I tried and sometimes it was solved the same way in other distros) But Now, I'm in F15 And my magic workout doesn't work anymore... it doesn't matter wich device I choose as output, the PC simple don't mute one or another and my headphones and speakers sound at the same time, Can you tell me How to Fix it? The Sound card is a HDA INTEL with the Realtek ALC662 rev1 Chip, as I said before, I'm using Fedora 15 KDE (64 Bit version) and I'm running ALSA v 1.0.23 Any Help will be really nice Thanks! -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: E2B4 31CE F2BF 1944 8664 3E22 88C8 DFC9 4D7C 1B35

No sound from Headphones in F15
by Manuel Escudero 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Just a Few days ago I wrote a thread to this list talking about my speakers-headphones issue, (Both play at the same time) That I use to solve using "pavucontrol" to select the desired output device from F12 to F14 (Now in F15 that "solution" doesn't work anymore) and more strange, Just Now I tried to use the Pulse Audio Volume Control again to select the output and if I select the speakers, both headphones and speakers sound BUT if I select Headphones BOTH devices "shut up" O.o ¿Why? I believe it's a pulseaduio issue...

F15: fail2ban not in iptables status
by Marco Guazzone 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I have fail2ban up and running on my Fedora 15. root 1026 0.0 0.3 189936 6724 ? S 13:52 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -b -s /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock -x I use it for banning IPs that try to connect to my host via SSH.

KVM x VirtualBox
by Fernando Lozano 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi there, I've been using KVM for quite some time but now I have to work with a couple VirtualBox VMs. I don't want to have to setup a different server for that. Is it possible to have both KVM and VirtualBox installed and active on my Fedora 15 box? If positive, can I run a KVM VM and a VirtualBox VM at the same time, or will I have to run only one of then and shutdown the other? Should I get VirtualBox rpms from rpmforge.org or should I use packages from Oracle? []s, Fernando Lozano

SSSD (LDAP and Kerberos) to AD
by Ethan Bonick 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I am having trouble getting sssd to work properly with LDAP. I am using kerberos for passwords and LDAP for identification. I have everything working on Ubuntu and CENTOS5 clients not using SSSD so I know it works. Kerberos works just fine and I can get a ticket. LDAP returns nothing, debug logs aren't helping me. I have included a copy of my config file. We are not using certs on ldap and it shouldn't be required since I am using kerberos for authentication.

Boot loader after upgrade
by Adam Tong 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Hi, I upgraded my fedora 12 to 13 and then F13 to F14. I used the instructions for the desktop version in these two pages: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-from-fedora-12-to-fedora-13-deskto… http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-from-fedora-13-to-fedora-14-deskto… Which are basically the same for both upgrades. Now in the boot loader I have 3 choices: F14, F13 and Other which is windoze. I can boot from both F13 and F14, they work properly. F13 desktop is the same know as F14 but when I check the version in terminal (uname -a), I get F13. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Is there anyway to keep only F14 and get rid of F13? Thank you

F13->F14 upgrade + relabel = logins hosed: entrypoint access denied
by Dave Mitchell 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

I just tried to upgrade a F13 system to F14 using preupgrade. It seemed to go well, but I was getting a lot of AVC denials for NM and polkitd, and NM wasn't working properly. So I tried a 'touch /.autorelabel' and reboot. It seemed to work, but now I can't login. Any login attempt (via gdm or F2 console) immediately logs me back out again. /var/log/messages shows, for a console login as root: SELinux is preventing /bin/login from entrypoint access on the file /bin/bash and for a GUI-based login: SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from entrypoint access on the file /usr/bin/gnome-keyring/daemon SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from entrypoint access on the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession I can boot single user okay. I ran 'fixfiles restore' to relabel again and rebooted, and it made no difference. By comparing with a similar but un-upgraded (ie F13) working host, I found that the following are the same on both hosts: # ls -lZ /bin/login -rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:login_exec_t:s0 /bin/login # ls -lZ /bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t:s0 /bin/bash Policy is the same apart from changes in ethereal and spamd: # sesearch --allow --neverallow --auditallow --dontaudit --type \ --role_allow --role_trans --range_trans \ | sort | egrep -v'ethereal|spam[cd]' # sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted While the two systems give the following: # rpm -q selinux-policy selinux-policy-3.7.19-101.fc13.noarch # F13 host selinux-policy-3.9.7-40.fc14.noarch # F14 borked host At this point I've exhausted my meager understanding of selinux. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- In economics, the exam questions are the same every year. They just change the answers.
