tmpfiles.d and spaces in filenames
by Corinna Vinschen 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Hi, How can I specify filenames with spaces in tmpfiles.d configuration files? There's no hint in `man tmfiles.d'. I tried - fstab style: d /foo\040bar 0755 root root - web style: d /foo%20bar 0755 root root - quoted style 1: d "/foo bar" 0755 root root - quoted style 2: d '/foo bar' 0755 root root This results in two directories /foo\040bar /foo%20bar and two error messages: Path '"/foo' not absolute. Path ''/foo' not absolute. So, do I have to take it that tmpfiles.d doesn't grok spaces in filenames at all? Please note, I'm not asking for the obvious answer "don't do this" and I'm also not asking for the counter question "why do you need this?" Corinna

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.

by Tanguy Eric 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

I tried to use juniper network connect java applet to connect to my university vpn. It worked fine with some tweaks on f14 i686. So i think the problem come from x86_64. The network connect applet load but never run. $ rpm -qa | grep i686 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-68.1.i686 libstdc++-4.6.0-7.fc15.i686 glibc-2.13.90-9.i686 nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.10-1.fc15.i686 compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-143.1.i686 zlib-1.2.5-3.fc15.i686 libgcc-4.6.0-7.fc15.i686 I installed jre-6u25-linux-amd64.rpm and it runs fine on firefox. Someone could help me ? Thanks Eric

Hi, I'm not a packager, currently have no webspace (between hosts) Have rebuild gnome-schedule for myself using upstream: gnome-schedule-2.1.3.tar.gz and a modified spec from the last released F15 srpm version: gnome-schedule-2.0.2-6.fc15.src.rpm How do I use mock to create multiple version at the one time F15\Rawhide? The single rebuild I did for F15 64bit installs\works fine. removed require for gnome-python2-applet. Just pulls in gnome-python2-gconf currently. -- Regards, Frank Murphy UTF_8 Encoded Friend of Fedora

Is there an IPSEC Gui for FC14?
by Eric B. 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi, I was hoping to find a nice GUI utility to setup/create an IPSEC VPN tunnel in FC14. I looked in the NetworkManager, but there does not seem to be any configuration options that would allow me to specify any particulars for Phase 1 and Phase 2 negotations. I isntalled the NetworkManager-openswan package hoping that would give me the necessary options, but I need to hand-code the Phase 1 & Phase 2 options (would have been nice to have a GUI to select the options), and there is no way to specify key files for the connection. Is there anything else out there that exists, or do I have to do everything in shell mode? Thanks, Eric

Sound input on Fedora 15
by Michael Eager 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Sound output through my motherboard's Intel HDA ACL888 works OK. Sound input does not work. Alsa lists the ACL888 as well as a video capture card. Pulseaudio (pacmd list-sources) shows the card and says that it only has internal audio monitor, not hardware input.

Another failure
by Beartooth 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

On an expendable (and thoroughly backed up, fully updated) Athlon XP 2800+ with 1.9 GB of memory, running F 14, I asked here on April 25 about preupgrade. Having gotten two prompt and helpful replies, I went ahead, getting an install of F15 Beta. Starting April 27, I began a thread ("So where are my workspaces?") which became long and bifurcated, both here and on the testers' list. There was a lot of floundering on my part, with helpful specific links to several bugs, which I studied. I also kept updating F15 at least daily. F15 soon reached a point where its login screen produced only error messages, which I posted. The bugs meanwhile were gradually declared fixed, though the fix didn't work on this machine. About that point I ceased keeping up with the lists, though I kept trying. With upgrades and "yum install" commands issued over ssh from other machines on my LAN, I became able to log into KDE4 and Xfce; I spent some time trying them out, particularly as to workspace switchers or substitutes. (There were also several other threads, on both lists iirc, from other users whose needs Gnome 3 seemed not to meet.) When F15 was declared golden, I waited a couple of days, burned a DVD, and tried to "upgrade." No change. I tried doing a fresh install, figuring that some obscure glitch on this machine must be responsible. No change. Finally I pulled the big hammer: wiped the whole machine with DBAN, and did a second fresh install of F15. It still hit the dead bug with logging into Gnome3. I couldn't face the effort to enable KDE4 or Xfce via ssh again, nor the learning curve that would follow. I'm now managing,unsatisfactorily but adequately, with Scientific Linux 6.0 on this machine. (I have EPEL, rpmforge, and rpmfusion enabled.) I'll probably try F16 this fall, and meanwhile stick to F14 on my other machines. What I miss most from Fedora are these : dillo, galeon, epiphany, kazehakase, midori, privoxy, seamonkey, and gnome-control-center. (SL seems to have the last, but I can't get anything but "command not found" from it.) Question: if I forgo yum and PackageKit, and get ahold of actual Fedora rpms somewhere, can I install and run them in SL? Or is there a compatible repo I've overlooked?? In theory, according to the EPEL page, they should be available there; but they don't seem to be. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
