doc(s) for "ecryptfs-setup-private" don't mention needing ecryptfs group
by Robert P. J. Day 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

as a trainer, one of the banes of my existence is the omission of sometimes critical bits of info in the midst of a set of instructions. for an upcoming class, i wanted to show a simple example of how to use ecryptfs to create a simple encrypted "Private" directory, so i googled and found one over at archlinux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs seems like that would work for any recent distro, so i decided to start by running the "simple" example: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs#Setup_.28simple.29 as a regular user on my fedora 20 system, and immediately got: ERROR: User needs to be a member of ecryptfs group sure enough, the wrapper script ecryptfs-setup-private explicitly checks that the caller is a member of that existing group, but the archlinux page doesn't mention that requirement and neither does the man page for that script on fedora. while this sounds niggling, it is one of the things that can drive someone a bit batty as they (me) think, "wait ... did i miss something? did i not read properly?" is this something that deserves a low-priority bug report to mention this in the man page? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Did you update fstab and rebuild the initramfs? As I said, the clone as been created from another distribution the cp -a /boot_cloned and /boot_clone (when partition not active). I created a new initramfs, but as I said the problem seem to appear before the: linux /vmlinuz-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE root=/dev/mapper/VolGrpSys3-root ro vconsole.keymap=fr rd.dm=0 rd.md=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=VolGrpSys3/root initrd /initramfs-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE.img I am saying so because, if replace the clone by the cloned partition, I get the same errors. In my opnion, the error is here: if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos16 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos16 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos16 --hint='hd0,msdos16' c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b fi or earlier!!

Hello Chris, I am back with you. Thinking about your suggestion. I generate a file: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and a file initramfs but these files are on the clone. If I understand (I guess) the point in generating a new initramfs, I do not see the point in generating a new grub.cfg file since it is not seen during the grub2 precessing since the grub.cfg file used in on the cloned partition until a make a new grub2-install /dev/sda from the clone. Anyway, in my opinion, the issue is when grub executes: menuentry 'Fedora, with Linux 3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE-advanced-69ee06ed-3f6a-4b9f-9b86-6e24c1847cf6' { set gfxpayload=text insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos16' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos16 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos16 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos16 --hint='hd0,msdos16' c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b fi because the clone partition is not correct. Something is missing: failed to start creat static device mode in /dev failed to start journal etc... To me looks like that the services are not started!!! how the /dev partition is created? What do yo think?

The easiest way to do all of this after the cp -a of everything is to put together the clone at /mnt such that you have /mnt as rootfs, then /mnt/boot, and then use mount -B to mount the faux file systems, /proc, /dev/, /sys at their respective locations, /mnt/proc, /mnt/dev, /mnt/sys.

Hello, After I clone a / partition I cannot boot it. I get 3 errors: failed to start create static modes in /dev failed to start journal service failed to open pack file: permission denied. The last one seems to be the more serious one. However, it may due to the previous ones. Thank for your help. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.

fedup to F20 but did not switch from kdm to sddm
by Frédéric Bron 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

I ran fedup from F19 to F20 without any trouble. I was excited to discover sddm but kdm came back as before. I then installed sddm with yum but kdm still came. I the tried $ system-switch-displaymanager sddm but got that answer: The graphical display manager sddm is not supported yet. How am I supposed to do to switch to this new destop manager? Frédéric

Freezing mouse cursor in 19
by Frank McCormick 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

I have noticed the pasts few weeks the mouse cursor freezes whenever I watch youtube videos in chrome. I am running the same Chrome version in Debian Sid and it doesn't happen when I am running that distro. The mouse cursor remains in one place but as I move the mouse around I can see that it's hovering over other things. This is happening with a wireless/keyboard/mouse combo, but it also happened with a regular keyboard/mouse combo so I don't think it's wireless related. Has anyone encountered this problem. I am running the latest kernel vmlinuz-3.12.6-200.fc19.i686 and the system is updated. It's a Dell Optiplex 745 with 2 gigs with stock Intel Video Maybe it's a flash problem ??? Thanks

Can someone recommend a procedure for copying a Windows game cd to a USB flash drive with my Fedora 20 system. My grandson has a new HP computer and game however he has no CD drive to install it with. I would gain some status if I can come to the rescue! Thanks, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/w2bod Box10 Fedora-20/64bit Linux
