BackupPc install
by Tony Molloy 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Hi, I've just installed BackupPC on my home server from the Fedora repos ( Fedora 21 ). It doesn't seem to have installed a systemd service file. So the question is how do I start BackupPC. I have it installed on CentOS 6 at work so configuration shouldn't be a proble. I know I've missed something obvious. Thanks, Tony -- Linux nogs.tonyshome.ie 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 28 21:11:36 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

etc-shadow
by Chris Murphy 22 Feb '15

22 Feb '15

I'm curious about how the hash in /etc/passwd is generated. I know it's SHA512 based, since the 2nd field starts with $6$. But the characters that follow aren't a SHA512 hash. It looks like it was run through base64. I read this: http://www.aychedee.com/2012/03/14/etc_shadow-password-hash-formats/ But Fedora doesn't have mkpasswd by default, whereas passwd seems to only update shadow rather than outputting to stdout. And if there's a salt used I can't tell how that would be referenced. Thanks, -- Chris Murphy

tab completion FC 21
by Stephen Davies 22 Feb '15

22 Feb '15

I have just upgraded a box from fc20 to fc21 using fedup and tab completion has gone bezerk. I have erased the bash-completion package but the weird behaviour continues. It is even guessing/remembering passwords. In most cases, hitting tab during command entry does nothing. In others (randomly so far as I can see) it pops up a list of words (including spelling errors). Even worse is when I try to type a path eg /usr/local/bin/foo, it puts spaces between each component and I have to backspace to remove them. How can I really get rid of this rubbish and return to the good old, simple completion? Cheers and thanks, Stephen

Issue with Fedora21 "settings" after a power failure in the middle of an update.
by Eliezer Croitoru 22 Feb '15

22 Feb '15

Hey, I am unsure how to even look at the system now. I have installed a Fedora 21 Gnome Desktop on a USB disk and while updating+upgrading the system from the basic state (57X packages) there was a power failure. After turning on the PC I have tried to turn it on it was fine and booted. I did not tried to "verify" what happen but it was in the middle of "yum update" so I tried to complete the transaction using yum.. whatever the command was. Now the system is after an undo but "settings" menu would not start. It would show the basic icon and text on the top bar for couple seconds and then will vanish and even if I am waiting 20 minutes it's still not starting. Now I want if possible to find what is the issue and maybe fix it. I need your help and recommendations. Thanks, Eliezer

'top' fails: 'xterm-256color': unknown terminal type
by Stuart McGraw 22 Feb '15

22 Feb '15

When I try to run 'top' on the Fedora 21 system I am installing I get the error: 'xterm-256color': unknown terminal type 'TERM=xterm top' also fails: 'xterm': unknown terminal type. and fails the same way no matter what the terminal type is set to. I don't have a TERMIFO_DIRS env variable set nor a ~/.terminfo/ directory. Same thing also happens when I login as a newly created user. /usr/share/terminfo looks normal and all the files and directories therein are world-readable. After reading a lot of manpages I came across 'toe' which according to 'man toe' "lists all available terminal types by primary name with descriptions." In my case, 'toe' lists nothing. However, 'toe -as' "-a: report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would search, rather than only the first one that it finds" says, --> /etc/terminfo ----> /usr/share/terminfo --*-: Eterm Eterm with xterm-style color... --*-: Eterm-256color Eterm with xterm 256-colors --*-: Eterm-88color Eterm with 88 colors --*-: ansi ansi/pc-term compatible with... --*-: aterm AfterStep terminal and continues with list of everything in /usr/share/- terminfo/. I don't know what the "--*-" text means. I tried replacing /etc/terminfo with a symlink to /usr/share/terminfo but that made no difference. Anyone have a clue about what is going on here?

Roaming email broke with update to fedora 21
by David Highley 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Description of the setup; remote access for email via web server with squirrelmail and dovecot. Configured to use imap port 993 and smtp tls. Email resides on another internal email server. This has been working for many years and was working on fedora 20. After new install of web server to fedora 21 and an update to the email server to fedora 21 the roaming email access has been broken; Error connecting to IMAP server: tls://mail. 0 : Have verified the web server can connect to the email server: openssl s_client -connect imap.example.com:993 openssl s_client -connect imap.example.com:143 -starttls imap With the two commands above we get a connect for port 993 and for port 143 we are able to login and find the email folder. Software versions are: sendmail-8.14.9-5.fc21.x86_64 dovecot-2.2.15-2.fc21.x86_64 squirrelmail-1.4.22-15.fc21.noarch The squirrelmail config_local.php file looks like this: <?php /** * Local config overrides. * * You can override the config.php settings here. * Don't do it unless you know what you're doing. * Use standard PHP syntax, see config.php for examples. * * @copyright © 2002-2006 The SquirrelMail Project Team * @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License * @version $Id$ * @package squirrelmail * @subpackage config */ $org_name = "Highley Recommended, Inc."; $org_logo = SM_PATH .

What are we missing?

Hi, I try to share one directory to watch movies and listen to music on tv. I habe a mediabox, which is connected and have an own ip in the same ip range. The problem is, i could not access without username and password. In the moment i even don´t see the pc in my network I tried this one: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=286765 and that one: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=44238 and many other things, I could not establish a connection without username and password. Here ist the copy of my smb.conf: [global] netbios name =Z210 hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 security = share log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 1024 [Musik] path = /home/petra/Musik public = yes writable = yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 force user = nobody force group = nogroup smbclient -L Z210 WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'share' for parameter 'security' Enter petra's password: Connection to Z210 failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL) Any idea?
