F18- Not able to share Printer
by antonio montagnani 29 Jun '13

29 Jun '13

Made a fresh installation on a machine where a printer is connected. Printer is installed locally, but when I try to share it I cannot see it on the network, and if I use system-printer-setting no printer is seen on the network even if I write the correct IP (i.e. 192.168.1.2) Both machines ping each other. I cannot see it eeven if I stop firewalld. Any idea??? -- Antonio M Skype: amontag52 Linux Fedora F18(Spherical Cow) on Acer 5720 http://lugsaronno.altervista.org http://www.campingmonterosa.com

retrofitting LUKS encryption on installed system
by Fred Smith 29 Jun '13

29 Jun '13

I've got a F19 installation that I'd like to turn into a fully encrypted system with LUKS. There are many howtos on the web for encrypting a partition, but they all show doing it to /home. the implication is that you need to be logged in as root on the actual system you're modifying, though I don't think that is explicitly stated. That would mean you can't encrypt the root partition itself, since you've got to have an empty partition to work on, then restore its contents from backup. So, my question(s): -can you do it while being booted into a recovery environment? -if not, is there any way to convert the whole thing that I'm not able to figure out on my own (perhaps I'm having a whole series of senior moments) ??? -Or would it simply be best to do a fresh installation?

reproduce similar webserver as webhosting companies
by Rafnews 29 Jun '13

29 Jun '13

Hi, i have a web server running on fedora. This web server is only for applicatons testing purposes. when i installed apache 2.4 it automatically create a group and an user apache. All files/folder that are under /publi_html should have apache as user/group permissions. This webserver runs in virtual machine and has its own IP address. now i need to reach this webserver from a windows workstation and edit/add/delete files and folders from the public_html directory. i can not use my default user account as this account can just read files but can't edit/delete or add files/folder as standard permissions are 644 for files and 705 for folders. i was thinking to perfom all actions (delte/move/edit...) in this public_html directory under apache account, but as apache account was installed automatically i do not have the password. So what is the default password for apache user account ? I guess there is better solution as on webhosting servers, you do not have apache user account, but a different one. so please, could you tell me how webhosting companies manage that (in order to reproduce a very similar way at home) ? thx.

Chron curiosity
by Geoffrey Leach 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

I have this line in /etc/crontab: 30 23 * * * geoff /usr/local/bin/fp.pl which executes the program every day at 2330. The script terminates by executing system 'sudo systemctl start poweroff.target'; Generally this works as expected. However, when I realize that the shutdown happened too soon, and I restart the system, it re-executes the script. Any suggestions as to where I've gone wrong? Thanks.

F18: GDM sometimes won't load desktop
by Anthony 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Howdy All, For some reason, there are times when I log into the system and it simply won't load the desktop. The GDM shows me the login prompt, I select my username, enter my password, and it says 'Logged In' with the little green checkmark next to it. But it just sits there. It doesn't load the desktop and the only way to get to the desktop is to restart the system and log in again. This happens with no rhyme or reason. Just 'sometimes' and always at system boot. I'm running F18, fully patched, with XFCE as the DE. Has anyone experienced this? How do I fix it? Thanks! Anthony

Hi all, I read a bit about the difference between "Hibernate" and "Suspend". I use my laptop as virtualization host too, and wonder what about the VMs when Suspending. I works fairly well when no VM is launched. What is suposed to happen if I have KVM VMs started? -- RMA.
