Disable whatever is cleaning /tmp
by Tucker 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

Hello, Since installing FC20, I've been struggling to deal with the fact that something is eating files in /tmp before I'm done with them. (I'm not talking about reboots.) If I create a file in /tmp, within N minutes, it is deleted. This is problematic since I have quite a few tools/tasks that require creating transient files in /tmp that need to exist for the duration of the process that creates them. I removed tmpwatch, assuming that was the problem but that did nothing. After some research I've found tmpfiles.d, which can't be removed because it is wrapped in the systemd package. I attempted to disable cleaning of /tmp and /var/tmp by making the following change to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf but no dice: ----------------------- # This file is part of systemd. # # systemd is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # See tmpfiles.d(5) for details # Clear tmp directories separately, to make them easier to override #d /tmp 1777 root root 10d #d /var/tmp 1777 root root 30d # Exclude namespace mountpoints created with PrivateTmp=yes x /tmp x /var/tmp X /tmp X /var/tmp x /tmp/* x /var/tmp/* X /tmp/* X /var/tmp/* #x /tmp/systemd-*.service-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.service-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.service-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.service-*/tmp #x /tmp/systemd-*.socket-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.socket-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.socket-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.socket-*/tmp #x /tmp/systemd-*.mount-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.mount-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.mount-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.mount-*/tmp #x /tmp/systemd-*.swap-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.swap-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.swap-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.swap-*/tmp ## keep those for compatibility during upgrades #x /tmp/systemd-private-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-private-* #X /tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp ----------------------- Can someone point me to the correct way to fix this problem? -- --tucker

Fedup issue with thunderbird
by linuxnutster＠videotron.ca 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

I upgraded to fedora 20 from fedora 19 using fedup. Everything went well except for some weird issues with Thunderbird. The latter is now giving me a pile of weird permission errors and disk space errors. There is 215GB free space, so I know that is not the problem. Obviously this has somethign to do with the permissions on the .thunderbird folder, but I do not have the knoweldge to rectify the problem. Could somebody kindly nudge me in the right direction? Thanks!

Serious OpenSSL vulnerability
by Patrick O'Callaghan 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140407.txt See also http://heartbleed.com/ and http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/04/critical-crypto-bug-in-openssl-open… This is potentially very serious and can cause leakage of private keys and other information. The current version of OpenSSL on Fedora (standard repos and Koji) is 1.0.1e, which has this vulnerability. An upgrade to 1.0.1g should be provided urgently. poc

by Mickey 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Installed Fedora 20 from Fedora 18. fresh install. Moved old email Mail Folder from F18 .thunderbird and puts all of the contents fom old email into F20 .thunderbird. I can see from File Manager that the OLD Emails are in the .thunderbird/Mail folder, but How do I get Thunderbird to display those old emails ? I'm connected to my ISP and can download new Emails.

System start halts due to Nvidia drivers
by Eirik Gundersen 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Followed this guide after clean install of Fedora. When I restart the system it hangs at the "started accounts service". I figure this is due to the newly installed nvidia drivers. Where did I go wrong? I read somewhere that maybe the driver for that particular kernel version was not ready? http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/

F20 Where's my system mail?
by Arthur Dent 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello all, I have read this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoDefaultSendmail Having upgraded to F20 the new lack of an MTA caused me no end of trouble with my fetchmail->procmail->dovecot setup, but I think I have got that sorted now. I had a brief flirtation with postfix, but gave that up as a bad job when it started bouncing all my mail. In truth I am quite happy not to have an MTA and risk accidentally spamming the interweb, but I now find I am lacking one thing... My system mail (and output from my user cron jobs) used to find it's way into procmail from which I could direct it into mailboxes to be read at my leisure. Without a functioning MTA how can I now achieve the same result? Although I can ssh into the box, and I do often check logs etc, it is reassuring to know when something has happened I would get an email, and the regular output in email-form from logwatch was something I would check every day. Can I get this functionality back without the pain of configuring postfix or (shudder) sendmail? If so how? Thanks in advance. Mark

It seems to me like a bug in the alert reporting. http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/34903.html?thread=220247 > [2] How do I reach the fedora-devel people you mentioned, to ask them > my other question? Just send a question to the Community support for Fedora users <users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> list and with information about what you are trying to do, meantion SELinux in the message or CC me, and I will follow the discussion.

Custom Install
by Shane Johnson 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

I am coming to Fedora from Debian and would appreciate some help please. In Debian I was able to quickly install a system (vm/real) using debootstrap. I am looking for a way to do this in Fedora. So far I have tried using the instructions here while running under a live CD : http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Building_a_Xen_Guest_Root_Filesystem_u… and then installing mdadm, lvm2, kernel, and grub2. I change the password and then try to reboot and it keeps getting stuck with not being able to start the RAID after the reboot. I am able to do mdadm -A /dev/md/{raid} and then exit until the system boots. I have tried rerunning dracut --kver 3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64 and it runs and creates the new initrd file. Then I run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and it keeps having problems with errors not being able to access "/dev/md0 " (I added the quotes due to finding this page : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981909. ) I have symlinked "/dev/md0 " > /dev/md0 and gotten rid of the errors but it is still not starting the RAID. Does anyone have a better way to do this kind of install or a way to resolve this problem with Grub2 that I haven't been able to find? I have also tried running the net install cd but it won't let me just install everything under the / on a 25GB lv with a 5GB swap lv. Thank you in advance. -- Shane D.
