ntp
by Jan Litwiński
I have proglem with ntp service, I did:
systemctl enable ntpd.service
systemctl start ntpd.service
but ntp don't start at boot, starting by hand works. As a solution I
created rc.local and add to it systemctl start ntpd.service and it works. I
think ntpd starts before NetworkManager, My question is what is correct
solution ?
TIA

Time/Date shell-thingy in F18
by Bill Murray
Dear list,
(What do we call the shell thingies which replaced applets?)
I wanted to have the date at the top of my shiny new FC18 screen, not
just the time.
I installed dconf-editor, went to org->gome->shell and found 'calendar'
and 'clock'
each of which have booleans, one for 'show-weekdate' and the other for
'show-date'
As far as I can tell these do nothing at all. I toggle and log in/out or
reboot but no
date appears.
This morning, with the new kernel, my system when into gnome 2
fallback mode.
Ah-hah! I siezed the opportunity of a 'preferences' menu on the clock,
switched
on the date, and rebooted - perfect; gnome 3, plus date.
So I am happy....but there MUST be a better way to switch this on
and of?
Bill

Fedora Live CD Spins - Are They Safe?
by Temlakos
Everyone:
I'm trying to sort out the rumors I've heard. Among other things: that
using a Live Spin CD on an existing Fedora system is not safe, and will
destroy all data.
Has that actually happened to anyone here?
What is the safest way to upgrade an existing system from F17->F18?

Yikes! Keyboard screwed in NX session
by Tom Horsley
Does anyone have any clues why my NX session would be
doing all sorts of wacky mapping of my keyboard?
I've just told my remote system to reboot into fedora 17
so I can get work done remotely (I hope).
My arrow keys were set to some sort of asian character
shift modes or something, other keys have wacky
defs as well.
I've never told the system I had anything other than
a US English keyboard. Where might NX be getting
this wacky idea?

mine is a kernel param
yours is a sysctl.conf setting
there is a big difference between both starting where you config
them, so please do not bring up sysctl params when one speaks about
kernel params without a hint which is understandable for beginners
too and not only people like me which knowing both well
i had all this sysctl-crap if you look in the archive but
services was still listening on "::" and with the kernel param
ipv6 is REALLY completly disabled

Install / upgrade fc17 -> fc18 better than I expected
by Bill Davidsen
I wanted to try upgrading on a system with multiple boot and root partitions,
sharing home ans swap.
How I did it:
I took an fc17 test machine and made a new copy of the disk image
qemu-img convert f17-work.img f18-base.img
I made a working copy
qemu-create -b fc18-base.img fc18-work.img
I made it bigger
qemu-img resize f18-work.img +6G
Then I booted:
qemu-kvm -m 1200 -hda fc18-work.img -cdrom fc18-install.iso -boot d
As I did the install, creating a new partition for boot and one for root(fc18)
worked finr, the swap was picked up from the LV of fc17.
Then I tried to have the fc17_root mount /fc17/root and the fc17_home LV mount
on /fc17/root, etc. Nothing complained, but it didn't work.
If there was a way to provide other bootable OS I missed it (it should be
obvious). So I can't boot fc17, and I can't boot XP. That seems like an issue.
Hope this helps someone. Hypervisor gurus can do this cleverly, I went manual so
it would work for me.

potential sshd gotcha
by Tom Horsley
I spent hours at work today getting sshd to function on
my desktop which I just switched to booting from the
fedora 18 partition. I finally discovered this:
[root@zooty ~]# ls -l /etc/ssh
total 276
-rw------- 1 root root 245058 Dec 3 11:43 moduli
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2104 Dec 3 11:43 ssh_config
-r--------. 1 root ssh_keys 668 Dec 5 20:35 ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 590 Dec 5 20:35 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
-r--------. 1 root ssh_keys 963 Dec 5 20:35 ssh_host_key
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 627 Dec 5 20:35 ssh_host_key.pub
-r--------. 1 root ssh_keys 1675 Dec 5 20:35 ssh_host_rsa_key
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 382 Dec 5 20:35 ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw------- 1 root root 4615 Dec 26 14:47 sshd_config
The private key files now want to be group "ssh_keys".
If, like me, you've been copying your /etc/ssh host key files
from release to release in order to preserve your machine's
ssh identity, then you may not have the group correct after
the copy (depending on if you overwrite or replace).
Without the correct group on the hostkey files, every attempt
at an ssh connection of any kind results in a "connection
closed" error and much confusion :-).
