named shows different results
by fedora 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi listers I have a very curious problem here: I changed some CNAME entries in the named for a specific domain this morning. when i now (from an internal workstation) do a dig @nameserver cname i get a different answer, depending on whether @nameserver points to the local address 192.168.... or on the public ip address 212.90..... of the nameserver in the first case, named returns the old (incorrect) address of cname. in the second case, named returns the new (correct) address of cname. when i let @nameserver point to the secondary nameserver, the above difference does not show up, it always returns the correct address. from the outside world, the new (correct) value is always returned. what could the problem be and how to avoid it? thanks in advance suomi

Upgrade of F13 to F14 via yum
by Paolo Galtieri 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Yesterday I upgraded a F13 system to F14 using yum upgrade. It took all day (and part of the night) but when I checked this morning the system had rebooted and everything looked fine. Until I logged in. Then I noticed that named now consumes >100% cpu (the system is a dual processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz). There is nothing obvious in the logs that I could find that would explain this. This system is my DNS server and was working fine under F13. When I run strace named is spewing the following messages: [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0xb784b048, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0, FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1} <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1 <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] gettimeofday({1309450987, 273490}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 [pid 5330] clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1309450987, 273721365}) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1490757, {1142, 153144635} <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 273973}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 274119}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0xb784b048, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0, FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1} <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1 <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] gettimeofday({1309450987, 274655}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 [pid 5330] clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1309450987, 274883103}) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1490759, {1142, 151982897} <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 275135}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 275250}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 275367}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0xb784b048, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0, FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1} <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1 <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] gettimeofday({1309450987, 275914}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 [pid 5330] clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1309450987, 276147526}) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1490761, {1142, 150718474} <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 276417}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 276536}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0xb784b048, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0, FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1} <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1 <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] gettimeofday({1309450987, 277056}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 [pid 5330] clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1309450987, 277286204}) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1490763, {1142, 149579796} <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 277553}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 277669}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] gettimeofday({1309450987, 277785}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b04c, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0xb784b048, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0, FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1} <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...> [pid 5329] <... futex resumed> ) = 1 [pid 5329] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1 <unfinished ...> [pid 5330] <... futex resumed> ) = 0 [pid 5330] gettimeofday({1309450987, 278305}, NULL) = 0 [pid 5330] futex(0xb784b018, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 Has anyone else had issues with named after an upgrade? Another issue I encountered has to do with Selinux alerts. Here's one of the alerts: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/updatedb from getattr access on the directory /etc/udev/rules.d The permissions on the directory on the upgraded system is: drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:udev_var_run_t:s0 /etc/udev/rules.d/ On one of my other F14 system it's: drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:udev_rules_t:s0 /etc/udev/rules.d/ Note that they are not the same. I also get the following alerts: SELinux is preventing /bin/mount from write access on the directory /var/named drwxr-x---. root named system_u:object_r:named_zone_t:s0 /var/named SELinux is preventing /bin/mount from write access on the directory /usr/lib/bind Another issue I'm having on all my Linux systems connected to my KVM switch. The problem is I get constant USB disconnects/reconnects. They occur about every 30 seconds on average. I don't know if this indicates the hardware is going bad or something else. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks, Paolo

Google Chrome browser and Kwallet
by Peter G. 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

I just nstalled Google Chrome to test it. Immediately, it asked to open Kwallet. I allowed it, and then I thought... Yikes! Should I have done that? Why does Google chrome need to see the contents of Kwallet even before I have visited a web site and while all I am doing is configuring it? Is it looking at other stuff I have stored in my wallet?

Subversion and GNOME keyring
by Matthew Saltzman 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Does anyone know if the bug that prevented Subversion from working with the GNOME keyring has been fixed? I still have subversion configured to prompt for a password, but that's just as annoying as it used to be. TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Mathematical Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

PPA 1158 eSATA + USB pcmcia card
by JD 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Manufacturer claims that it was tested successfully against kernel 2.6.32. I read a couple of blogs of windows users dissing this card. My laptop has not usb 2.0. Only 1.1. I have a pcmcia card with 2 eSATA ports, one of which I use for my external HD. The PPA 1158 http://ppa-usa.com/computer-products/sata/pcmcia-combo-usb-2-0-and-sata-car… provides 2 eSATA (Version 1) ports and 2 USB 2.0 ports. I would like to buy it so I can use my external drive and connect usb 2.0 devices to it. Has anyone had experience with this card on any Linux version? P.S: I had tried a card from Syba with 1 eSATA port and 3 USB ports. It locks up Fedora AND windows during boot. Tried 2 of them. Same lock up. Thanx JD

F15 libvirt net-edit will not use static dhcp addresses for dnsmasq
by Deron Meranda 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

In Fedora 15 I'm trying to set up statically-assigned DHCP addresses for virtual machine domains, but libvirt does not pass this on to dnsmasq. I tried to edit the network xml definition file using # virsh -c qemu:///system net-edit vmnet I changed it from this: <network> <name>vmnet</name> <uuid>d27e8fa9-d358-b505-fc7b-4fb0ec0e7c4f</uuid> <forward dev='eth0' mode='nat'/> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0' /> <ip address='192.168.4.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.4.128' end='192.168.4.254' /> </dhcp> </ip> </network> by adding a couple <host> elements, into this: <network> <name>vmnet</name> <uuid>d27e8fa9-d358-b505-fc7b-4fb0ec0e7c4f</uuid> <forward dev='eth0' mode='nat'/> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0' /> <ip address='192.168.4.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.4.128' end='192.168.4.254' /> <host mac='52:54:00:e8:dc:ee' name='aaa.example.com' ip='192.168.4.32' /> <host mac='52:54:00:22:6c:5c' name='bbb.example.com' ip='192.168.4.33' /> </dhcp> </ip> </network> After saving the file I do get the message "Network vmnet XML configuration edited." However, if I immediately net-edit it again, the <host> elements are not there as if I had not changed it. This also has the effect that the dnsmasq daemon is started without having any of the command line options of "--dhcp-host" or "--dhcp-hostsfile". Which means that the virtual domains do not receive static IP addresses. Also of note, when using net-edit if I also try to change anything else, such as the dhcp start ip address, it too will get reverted back after I save it. Does anybody know what I may be doing wrong? The package version is libvirt-0.8.8-4.fc15.x86_64 Thanks. -- Deron Meranda http://deron.meranda.us/

Re: backup copy of F14 boots, but can't login
by Jackson Byers 29 Jun '11

. Daniel Walsh wrote >Are you booting with selinux=0 or enforcing=0? No [byers@f14 ~]$ cat /etc/selinux/config ... SELINUX=enforcing ... SELINUXTYPE=targeted Dan, you are responding to my initial response to you and Lamar Owen, where I was freaking out over having to deal with selinux. Since then I have followed Lamar's advice, " touch /.autorelabel, reboot", and that fixed my main problem, my backupF14 now is no longer caught in that endless login recycle. See my later replies in this thread. I had first tried your advice "restorecon -R -v /home" without effect, allthough that was done from my mainF14 operating on the mounted backupF14 /home. I have no idea if that should make a difference or not. If the latter is not an issue, it then appears to me that Lamar's response to your advice is correct: > from: Lamar Owen >> restorecon -R -v /home >If only /home needs relabeling, that is true. >However, if /home is backed up without the correct contexts, > the rest of the system likely has context problems..... With regard to " backed up without the correct contexts" I have no doubt that was the case, because I was unaware of any need for, or how to implement, "correct contexts" . I used an rsync-based backup tool (rbu, Vincent Stemen) on all dirs under /, leaving out /proc, /sys, /mnt, /media, /opt thanks for response Jack
