How can I install F15 without a desktop environment
by John Wendel 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

I need to install F15 without Gnome, KDE, XFCE, or LXDE. The target has 1 GB of flash for the filesystem. So how can I install F15 with X, but without a DE? Thanks, John

How to add a new LUKS partition and open it with the global passphrase.
by yudi v 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

I have a system setup with LUKS on top of LVM, I plan to add a new LUKS logical volume. Adding the entry for this LV into */etc/crypttab,* makes it ask for the passphrase at boot. Now, what I want to know is how to make this partition decrypt using the existing "global passphrase". -- Kind regards, Yudi

dnsmasq and bind both running
by Genes MailLists 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

I seem to have dnsmasq running on my laptop serving dns - which is very weird as the laptop is configured to run bind as the local DNS server and is so put in the network config (kde network manager applet) - so why is dnsmasq running - can it be turned off ?

Automounting/unavailability of devices...
by William W. Austin 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

This never bothered me until after (a) I upgraded to fc15 and (b) a friend asked me how to turn it off. I have a box with a drive (used for writing out bios files and the like for pc's). When I insert a floppy, a cd, or a dvd into a drive and try to access it, fc15 seems to have to think about it and then MAYBE give me permission to access the device - and some things like xmms which used to play cd's no problems or xine which did the same with DVD's get blocked. (If I reboot under fc14 the problem goes away.) I remember turning this off in 14 but for the life of me I can't remember how. The behavior in 15 seems a bit more rigid than it was in 14, although I can't be certain. I did a search through both the docs AND my notes from 14, but I haven't found it yet. Any info on how to turn off this "automount" feature would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- wwa -- william w. austin airedad(a)att.net "life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ..."

POSIX ACLs, NFSv4 and umask discrepancy
by Robert Marcano 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

I have a network environment using Fedora 15 as clients and EL 5 as an NFSv4 Server. Everything running with Kerberos thanks to FeeIPA. The question is more related to POSIX ACLs and NFS that any FreeIPA special setup, so asking here first. FreeIPA uses a default configuration for user creation than plain Fedora 15, it adds all users to the same primary group named ipausers and do not create a group for each user (1). Fedora correctly detects this configuration when the group is not named equals to the user and does not set the default umask 002 instead it use 022 (2) (see /etc/profile) ############################################################ if [ $UID -gt 199 ] && [ "`id -gn`" = "`id -un`" ]; then umask 002 else umask 022 fi ############################################################ Trying to setup a NFS export with files that are shared by a group of user, not using group sticky bit instead POSIX ACLs (3), I created it with the following ACL ############################################################ # file: directory # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x group:sharedgroup:rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:group:sharedgroup:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::--- ############################################################ group 'sharedgroup' has access to rwx on 'directory' and default ACLs for new files is the same for the same group. When creating a file on the server and on the NFS client with umask 022 and the same user I get the following ACLs on the files ############################################################ # file: client # owner: test # group: ipausers user::rw- group::r-x #effective:r-- group:sharedgroup:rwx #effective:r-- mask::r-- other::r-- # file: server # owner: test # group: ipausers user::rw- group::r-x #effective:r-- group:sharedgroup:rwx #effective:rw- mask::rw- other::r-- ############################################################ So the first thing to notice is that everything is exactly the same with the exception to the mask, when created from the client it is not assigned the same mask that when it is created on the server. I know Linux implements a NFSv4 ACL to POSIX ACL mapping as explained here http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/ACLs#Strict_Mapping ,but Why the difference in behavior? Is it right? how to share files via NFS with an environment where the users has umask 022 (2) and not 002, with anyone adding, reading and writing files simply using the directory (that is the reason of using POSIX ACLs)? Thanks in advance. (1) I am not a fan of the ipausers default group, but the like or dislike of a group per user generate discussions like vi vs emacs (2) Or a more strict one like 077 (3) Not feasible using an umask 022 because file group is assigned correctly but still only readable

Updater doesn't work
by Smith, Herb 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hello, I'm a little late to the party here, so I don't know what has been discussed since the advent of FC 15. The main problem I'm having is that the Updater keeps telling me that there are updates but then when I click it to go ahead and install, it runs into all sorts of problems with many of the updates and will not execute. One of the main issues seems to be with the fedora-15-3 update, but there seem to be dozens that it has troubles with. At one point in this process the updater popped up another window with a couple long lists of programs that needed updating that it was having trouble with and the window was longer than my laptop screen and I could not see the entire bottom of the window where the response buttons were located. The window could not be resized or anything. The only choice I had was to cancel the update process. I'm not that excited about the new Gnome 3, but it will be ok if it gets to the point where more options are available. Although bluecurve is all installed (according to YUM), there doesn't seem to be a way to get it activated in the appearances. Also what's with the huge icons? Is there a way to get smaller icons ? I have been a Fedora/RedHat user for some time now and have generally been impressed with the releases up to FC14. I'm hoping that things will be a bit smoother when 16 is available. Thanks for any light (hope) you can shed. Herb

bare xorg black screen with mouse cursor
by dabicho 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hello. I am setting up a fedora 14 installation for a kiosk. This is starting X at boot by setting a script as a DISPLAYMANAGER to simply change to an unproviledged user and startx with fvwm2 I am having a couple of issues. 1. If I log out (Ctr+Alt+BackSpace), X is restarted but on a different console. At boot, it is at console 7 (i.e. to switch you use Ctrl+Alt+F7), but after a logout, it starts at console 8, and any subsequent restart is at console 8 too. Not sure if I missed something. The script is as simple as su - unpriviledged_user -c startx 2. Through .Xclients it starts a web browser, fvwm2, xscreensaver and a helper app for some tasks not available through the browser. After some time of inactivity, xscreensaver kicks in, and sometime later the screen is blank, but the system won't wake up except for the mouse pointer, so it's the mouse pointer on a blank screen. I think I may have missing a service or that some configuration for X could help avoid this. I have not been able to fix it by killing any process or going back through the consoles. I have not come to a solution through google searches or by myself. Anyone has any idea? Any pointer is appreciated Thank you.

Problems setting up SSSD to authenticate to Windows 2008 AD
by Oded Arbel 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi List. First time poster, so I'm doing something wrong please let me know. I'm trying to set up SSSD for a laptop running Fedora 14 to authenticate against an Active Directory domain running on a Windows 2008 server. I've followed the instructions in this page: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/Configuring%20sssd%20to% 20authenticate%20with%20a%20Windows%202008%20Domain%20Server (except the part about anonymous searches - our security policy will not allow that), and I still can't get authentication to work. When I try to log in using ssh to the computer I get this in the sssd log file for the AD connection: [sssd[be[AD]]] [simple_bind_done] (3): Bind result: Success(0), (null) [sssd[be[AD]]] [be_run_online_cb] (3): Going online. Running callbacks. [sssd[be[AD]]] [sdap_control_create] (3): Server does not support the requested control [1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1]. [sssd[be[AD]]] [sdap_get_generic_done] (2): Unexpected result from ldap: Operations error(1), 00000000: LdapErr: DSID-0C090627, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection., data 0, vece Where the last two lines repeat a lot, though not interchangeably - I get a lot more "server does not support the requested control" then the other message. Looking at /var/log/secure I get this: sshd[8581]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.XXX.XXX user=oded.a sshd[8581]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): system info: [Cannot find KDC for requested realm] sshd[8581]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.XXX.XXX user=oded.a sshd[8581]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): received for user oded.a: 4 (System error) sshd[8581]: Failed password for oded.a from 192.168.XXX.XXX port 33213 ssh2 I'm not sure which problem is the one that killing the authentication - the KDC or the inability to bind even though bind was successful. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may try? Thanks in advance.
