where do dnf plugins go?
by Tom Horsley 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

The DNF documentation desperately attempts to avoid actually saying anything :-(. For pluginpath it says: List of directories that are searched for plugins to load. Plugins found in any of the directories in this configuration option are used. The default contains a Python version-specific path. The installed /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file doesn't explicitly say anything about pluginpath, so it must be hard coded somewhere. So what the heck is the actual contents of this pluginpath config setting on fedora 22? Where do I install a .py module if I'm trying to write my own plugin?

Building/loading dahdi from asterisk
by Alex 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hi, I'm really stuck with getting asterisk started. I've built and install the dahdi asterisk modules, but they don't load automatically on boot. The asterisk-dahdi package includes /etc/rc.d/init.d/dahdi which runs "/bin/systemctl start dahdi.service" but it fails to load the modules. My question is, how do I troubleshoot this? How do I get more information to find out why it isn't automatically load the modules? If I just run "modprobe dahdi" manually, it loads the modules. I've looked through the logs, and it just says "Started LSB: DAHDI kernel modules." without any further information. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Fedora-22 KDE panel
by Timothy Murphy 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

I've just installed Fedora-22 from a Fedora-22 Live KDE usb stick. After dnf-installing a few packages, most things seem to be working, but I'm puzzled by the apparent lack of a panel, or if the bar at the top with Activities and Time are the panel then I'm puzzled by the lack of icons in the panel. I read advice to right-click in the panel, but if this is the panel that has no effect. Also I miss the multiple desktops I had in Fedora-21 KDE. Have these been abolished in Plasma-5? A very ignorant question - I see everyone refers to KDE Plasma. Is there in fact another non-Plasma version of KDE that one could run under Fedora? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Silencing auditd in fedora22
by Alex 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hi, Since upgrading from fedora22, auditd is drowning /var/log/messages with useless information such as this: Jul 18 19:02:19 orion audit: <audit-2404> pid=6002 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='op=destroy kind=server fp=SHA256:b5:7b:76:df:38:16:f3:f5:cd:2f:67:54:9a:2e:68:15:ae:9c:40:50:4f:6d:81:43:0d:54:bd:e2:c5:a0:43:7f direction=? spid=6002 suid=0 exe="/usr/sbin/sshd" hostname=? addr=64.1.XX.18 terminal=? res=success' I've enabled rsyslog because the logs are so much easier to access, but I'm not using auditd so would like to just turn it off. Ideas for using journalctl to show me the following would be appreciated: - start at the end of the log - use shortened hostname - shows only info in the former /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages - piped through a searchable pager Typing "less /var/log/maillog" requires far less typing, more easily remembered, and is easily searchable. Thanks, Alex

Systemd user services
by Suvayu Ali 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hi, I wanted to run systemd user services, in linger mode, meaning they run as a regular user and hang around without an active session. This worked nicely for the default target. When I changed to a different target however, the systemd user is not working anymore. Any thoughts? This is what I did step by step: - Enable linger mode and reboot: # loginctl enable-linger user - Now from a console login when I do: $ systemctl --user status I see systemd user service is running. - I add a service like this: $ systemctl --user enable emacs $ systemctl --user start emacs Looking at the status now, I see emacs is running as expected. This was just a test, I actually want to run mpd, but I was not getting any sound without a graphical session, so temporarily I switched to a graphical target with: # systemctl isolate graphical.target # my default is runlevel3 IIUC, when I do this all services get restarted. So I wasn't surprised when there was not running emacs (checked with pgrep). I was surprised however to see I cannot query the user session anymore. $ systemctl --user enable emacs.service Failed to get D-Bus connection: No such file or directory It is even more surprising since the systemd user service is still running! $ ps -uf -p 14301 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND lightdm 14301 0.0 0.1 45004 4864 ? Ss 10:18 0:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user What is wrong? Am I mistaken somewhere, or is this a bug? Thanks for any thoughts. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Excessive verbosity
by David A. De Graaf 18 Jul '15

18 Jul '15

The verbosity of systemd and its associated logging functions is out of control. It drives me crazy, and I can only hope that this attempt to complain constructively will be heeded. After recovering from the disaster of filling my root filesystem while away from home, I'm attempting to bring back some discipline to /var/log. Aside from the outrage of the journal system, /var/log/httpd/error_log and /var/log/audit/audit.log are the worst offenders. The httpd errors are of this recurring general form: [Sat Jul 18 10:48:39.918368 2015] [:error] [pid 10957] [client 192.168.2.1:54848] PHP Deprecated: Non-static method GalleryUtilities::isEmbedded() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryUrlGenerator.class on line 381, referer: http://datix.us/ and seem to be due to a major screwup in the gallery2 code with respect to static vs. non-static methods, whatever that means. A whack-a-mole debugging process is ongoing to fix these. Thanks to Joel for responding to BZ 1214128 and trying to fix 'em. The auditd system seems grotesque to me. It purports to insert code in every single system call and report on it. This can only seriously degrade Linux's efficiency. Others have noticed the excessive volume of reporting and tried to suppress it. One recommends removing the audit package, or disabling auditd, but that merely transfers the reporting to /var/log/messages. In https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1311 I read that the overhead is so great that it was "AGREED: turn off syscall auditing for all processes by default." with this to be done by Add something like this to /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules: # This suppresses syscall auditing for all tasks started # with this rule in effect. Remove it if you need syscall # auditing. -a task,never Sure enough, that's the way Fedora 22 is delivered. However, it doesn't work! The audit.log is still swamped with unwanted drivel. Following a clue in https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2012-January/msg00012.html I have added these commands to /etc/rc.d/rc.local with good results: # Stop auditd from writing so much crap auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=MAC_IPSEC_EVENT auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=USER_AUTH auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=USER_ACCT auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=CRED_REFR auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=CRED_DISP auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=CRED_ACQ auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=USER_START auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=USER_END auditctl -a exclude,always -F msgtype=SERVICE_START Now the only msgtype left in audit.log is type=LOGIN, which occurs whenever a cronjob fires off. Since I'm a big user of cronjobs, there are still too many of these. In whose perverted mind is running a cronjob related in any way to logging in? While venting, there are two other problems with the audit system: 1) The auditctl man page says to combine multiple -F options in a single command for efficiency. It doesn't work. 2) With all the verbosity of audit.log, nowhere is the date shown. If this data were really intended to be used or read, wouldn't it be possible to squeeze in `date` somehow? -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/pdf/Power_Management_Guide/F… If you scroll down to the tuned documentation you will see that the doc gives us the wrong command to enable tuned at start.

Fedora-22/KDE clipboard not working

When I highlight text in Fedora-21 it is transferred to the Clipboard, which I can access by the scissors icon ("Clipboard Contents") in my panel. In Fedora-22 the clipboard icon is changed - it looks like 2 sheets of paper but is still called "Clipboard Contents" - and highlighted text no longer appears there.

Fedora-22 perfect (almost)
by Timothy Murphy 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Having re-installed Fedora-22/KDE after a disastrous mis-installation (thanks for the help, Ed and Chris), everything is as it was under Fedora-21, with one tiny loss, to do with adding applications to the panel. I can add most applications by the curious process of right-clicking on the K-icon, going to Alternatives and switching to Application Menu - I can then go to the application in the Application menu and click on "Add to Panel". Then I switch back. Is this a bug, or a curious "improvement"? In any case, what this does not allow me to do - as I could - is add to the panel an item I have created by right-clicking on the K-icon then on Edit Applications. (These are mainly buttons I have created to ssh into remote hosts.) This is only a tiny inconvenience - I can still add the item to my Favorites, so it just takes an extra click to go to the remote host. But if I could complete the task I would be completely happy. One other small problem is that it seems much harder to paste text from the Clipboard. Have other people experienced this? Otherwise the display seems to me to be a little clearer (and dnf is definitely considerably faster than yum). -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Clone a system to an encrypted drive

I have a running Fedora 21 system. I would like to make a backup of it to a USB drive, a clone that can be booted. I know how to do all the "normal" stuff (partition, LVM, mkfs, rsync, and GRUB), but I'd like the USB drive to be encrypted, and I don't know how to set that up manually (I haven't messed with encrypted filesystems under Linux before). The system I'm backing is also headless, so no GUI tools. Pointers, tips, suggestions? Thanks. -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

Windows 8 Dual boot lost after Fedora upgrade
by Gary Stainburn 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

I've finally decided to have a go at fixing the problem where the Windows 8 option disappeared from my GRUB menu when I upgraded from F19 to F20. Working through various Google responses I've found that i had a load of stuff missing, including * .mod files * /boot/etc/EFI/Microsoft I installed grub2-efi-modules-2.00-27.fc20.x86_64 and then copied ntfs.mod and parted_msdos.mod to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/x86_64-efi/ which got rid of some of the errors I then mkdir /boot/etc/EFI/Microsoft/Boot and copied bootmgfw.efi from /windows/Windows/Boot/EFI/bootmgfw.efi to /boot/etc/EFI/Microsoft/Boot However, although I've fixed most of the error messages, I've still got the error: efi: file `/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi` not found. I'm now stuck. Has anyone got any suggestions what to do next? parted shows (sda4 is the Win8 partition, sda5 is the recovery partition): Model: ATA ST1000LM014-1EJ1 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 683MB 682MB ntfs Basic data partition hidden, diag 2 683MB 892MB 210MB fat16 EFI System Partition boot 4 1089MB 212GB 211GB ntfs Basic data partition 3 212GB 213GB 524MB ext4 6 213GB 978GB 765GB lvm 5 978GB 1000GB 21.8GB ntfs Basic data partition hidden Model: Linux device-mapper (linear) (dm) Disk /dev/mapper/fedora-home: 705GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: loop Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00B 705GB 705GB ext4 Model: Linux device-mapper (linear) (dm) Disk /dev/mapper/fedora-root: 53.7GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: loop Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00B 53.7GB 53.7GB ext4 Model: Linux device-mapper (linear) (dm) Disk /dev/mapper/fedora-swap: 6317MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: loop Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00B 6317MB 6317MB linux-swap(v1) my 40_custome file is: #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.

NetworkManager-openvpn and NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome
by James Crace 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hi, I wiped my F21 Workstation and did a clean install of F22, only with the XFCE spin this time. In F21 with GNOME, I had quite a few .ovpn files that I imported using NetworkManager. They worked fine. In F22 with XFCE, NetworkManager would not import them, giving the error: "Error: does not look like a Cisco AnyConnect Compatible VPN (openconnect) VPN connection (parse failed)" This is with NetworkManager-openvpn installed. I was stumped, and after using dnf list NetworkManager* I saw NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome. On a hunch, I installed it, and a new option shows up in NetworkManager for "OpenVPN" and my .ovpn files are all successfully importing again. What I'm wondering is why doesn't NetworkManager-openvpn provide the same functionality? Why do I have to install the -gnome specific files (under XFCE) to get what one would assume comes with the -openvpn package? It was easy to work around, but I'm just curious why NetworkManager-openvpn doesn't create an OpenVPN option or allow users to import OpenVPN files.

binary executes in an SELinux type other than its label
by Gordon Messmer 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

"courierlogger" is labeled "courier_exec_t" in the filesystem, but appears to execute under "system_mail_t". I think the former type is being treated as an alias for the latter, but I don't remember where I'd look for information on that. The problem is that when upgrading the courier-authlib package, a preuninstall script runs "authdaemond stop", which in turn uses courierlogger to signal the running process to exit. The command hangs, while courierlogger tries to send the signal (in a loop) and is denied by SELinux policy. $ ls -lZ /usr/sbin/courierlogger -rwxr-xr-x. daemon daemon system_u:object_r:courier_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/courierlogger* This is the AVC that is logged repeatedly while courierlogger is trying to stop authdaemond. type=AVC msg=audit(1436135786.396:23625): avc: denied { sigkill } for pid=4827 comm="courierlogger" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 tclass=process

system response issue
by JD 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

I started a tar command from one external eSATA drive (ext4), connected to eSATA port, out to a USB flash drive (with vfat). The USB stick is touted to support 50MB/s write, 160MB/s read. The USB port itself is USB 2.0 (480MBits/s). The desktop (Mate) response goes down the tubes. I ran top and found that cpu is only 3% usage by firefox. rest are a few at 1%, and rest showing 0%. Load average: load average: 5.95, 5.81, 6.05 Wow!!!! Why? I ran iotop -d 3 and found 3263 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 99.99 % [kworker/u16:3] 61 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 99.99 % [kswapd0] 3180 be/4 root 335.95 B/s 3.62 M/s 0.00 % 99.99 % tar -C /sdc1 -xpvf - 4071 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 27.36 % [kworker/0:2] Processes that are started but idle: 1 instance of smplayer (idle - nothing being played) 2 instances of TB (for 2 different profiles) - idle - no incoming or outgoing emails. both check for mail every so many minutes. 1 instance of FF with a total of 6 tabs - all of them idle (no videos, no audios on them and no animations.). So, it seems that the scheduler is letting the disk io pretty much commandeer and hijack system response time for the DT. Is there a configuration tweak to grant more cycles to the DT (mouse, KB) interaction with other GUI based programs?

Fedora 21 on mackbook air - no tilde key
by CS DBA 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

Hi All; I've installed Fedora 21 KDE spin on a 2015 Macbook air. I installed the rpmfusion repos and enabled kmod-wl and kernel-devel packages to enable wireless support. At this point most everything works, the screen brightness keys, keyboard backlight keys, keyboard volume keys, etc all work. However if I press the tilde/back tick key I get a les than sign (<) and if I press shift-tilde I get a greater than sign (>) Anyone know how to enable the proper behavior for these keys? Thanks in advance

The precise appearance of the error message is as follows: A small dark rectangular box appears at the top center of the blue wallpaper page. The box contains a large frowny-face and the words: 'Oops, sorry, it looks like a problem occurred. If you'd like to help resolve...' On mouseover, the box expands to finish the sentence '...the issue, please send a report.', followed by a darker area at the bottom of the box containing the word 'Report'. Clicking on 'Report' opens a large light colored box with the '...encountered a problem and recovered' message, plus: Kernel-core Version 4.04.301.fc22.x86_64 plus boxes labeled 'Details' and 'log'. Clicking on 'log' opens a window that announces that the bug has already been reported, allows a login to bugzilla, thus adding my name to the cc for the bug, and a link to the bug, BZ 1225671. -jmw-

OT Password problem -
by Bob Goodwin 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

I bought a used Dell Latitude E4310 that I want to replace Windows7 on with Fedora-22. Unfortunately the BIOS is locked and I do not have the admin password for it. A phone call to Dell was unproductive and none of the passwords offered in an on-line application work. Does anyone know what I can do to access this computer. I can return it, bought through Newegg, but it looks good so far, in new condition and the price is right. It even has a working battery. I considered opening it and removing the bios battery which I assume would return it to the default conditions which I believe is no password set. Any suggestions appreciated, Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-22/64bit LINUX XFCE

You can take the src rpm from Fedora 21 and use the command: rpmbuild --rebuild src rpm. This generates a version of aeskulap to Fedora 22. It works in several times. Edward

Speaking of error messages - there _was_ an error message at the beginning of the install-to-disk process; but I had ignored it since it said something like 'problem found and corrected', or words to that effect.

I have not tried F 20 live media; only reason I tried the live media with F 22 was because that was what mostly is available.

rpmbuild error for typhoon

Fedora21/22 grub doesn't recognize my raid1/LVM partitions
by John Wright 12 Jul '15

12 Jul '15

I have 2 500G hard drives partitioned with a few 'normal' partitions for /boot, swap, etc but mostly in a raid 1 array, which is divided into several LVM partitions. For many Fedora releases, I have done fresh installs, preserving the /home LVM partition, and rotating the root partition among several 30-40G LVM partitions for /. This has always worked splendidly until Fedora 21/22. Recently I decided that it was time to move up to Fedora 22, and with failing that, to Fedora 21. I have tried several Fedora 22 and Fedora 21. live install disks (desktop, server) and the server isos. With the live disks, the installer doesn't see my existing LVM partitions, so I can't try to install into them. With the 21 and 22 server isos, the installer sees the LVM partitions and appears to proceed normally, but the final reboot boots into a grub rescue shell, and the only partition visible to this shell is my /boot partition. I also tried the Fedora 22 netinstall iso, which also ultimately resulted in reboot into the grub rescue shell. I have googled several variations of 'grub doesn't recognize LVM partitions' without turning up anything helpful. Have there been changes to the LVM software that might result in an incompatibility between grub and older LVM versions? Best, -jmw-

F22 Atomic networking failure in OpenStack (A regression from F21!)
by Erik Swanson (eriswans) 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

So, in an OpenStack environment I'm trying to use, F22 Atomic can't get an IP/routing info, but F21 Atomic *can*. The first sign that something's up is a non-trivial pause on "A start job is running for Network Manager Wait Online", followed by cloud-init failing: [ 36.377396] cloud-init[721]: 2015-07-09 20:48:49,254 - util.py[WARNING]: Route info failed: Unexpected error while running command. The complete boot log of the F22 failure is here: http://pastie.org/private/1qikbe1hu328ajszohq5a What's interesting is that F21 Atomic comes up fine, in a completely identical environment. A boot log of F21 succeeding is here: http://pastie.org/private/ogopev1kbrf5y3lyahhqba The instances are identical in absolutely every way, except for the image. I have repeated the same result multiple times: F21 always comes up successfully, F22 always fails. Is this something I should file in a bug report? Is there any way I can get any more debug info on what's happening with F22? (Please keep in mind that because it never brings its networking up, it won't see any user-data scripts I try to inject, nor can I log in to its console.) — Erik Swanson

Nvidia issue in fedora 22
by fedora2015 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

Hello, I am using an Asus EN210 geforce 210 VGA card. I have akmod-nvidia-340xx installed. Since the last two kernel updates, whenever I try run Nvidia X server settings, I get the following error message: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." When I do that in terminal, I get the following error message: "WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file. New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf." It makes no difference. I also reverted back to 304xx, which doesn't work at all. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I finally had some cycles to open the laptop and cleanup up the old dried up grease off the cpu and the heat sink and applied the arctic silver. I smeared it in thin sheet on both the cpu and the heat sink's contact surface. I buttoned the thing back up and installed fc20 from DVD iso. All went well during the install. I booted and opened the file browser to browse the boot drive. No problems. I immediately opened the file browser again to seperately browse another drive and it crashed instantly after the gui of the 2nd file browser came up. I uploaded the screen image of crash message to https://www.sendspace.com/file/exy97h I noticed that during the installation of fc20, the air coming out of the exhaust vent was almost scalding if I kept my finger there for about a minute or so. By scalding, I mean if I had touched a metal surface of that temperature for say 30 seconds, I would have felt some pain. Also, I noticed that the cooling fan remained at normal operating speed, instead of spinning faster, as I usually hear it spin fast for about a few seconds when I power it on. So, I am not sure whether the problem is the fan or the cpu. P.S: I also ran the memtest 86 full tests of 1 pass. I installed fc20 after it had reached somewhere near the middle of pass 2. It had detected no errors. 10 hours had passed since I had started the memtest86. I am not sure if each pass would run different tests. Perhaps someone can expand on that.

block diagram interpretation
by Chris Murphy 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

I'm looking at reducing my dependency on dual booting and VMs to run Fedora and am thinking of an Intel NUC or possibly a Minnowboard (or maybe both and eventually setup glusterfs). Page 17, figure 3 show a block diagram of a candidate board http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23090/eng/D54250WYB_D34010WYB_TechProdSpec0… What I'm wondering is, there are four USB connectors, two front, two back. Each pair is represented with a single block with two arrows to the CPU. Do the two arrow implies two distinct buses? i.e. each of the four connectors offers 5Gbps bandwidth? In contrast, there's also two USB 2.0 ports in the front, noted as both dual-port, and with a single arrow to the CPU, which suggests to me it's a single 480Mbps bus shared between two connectors. Then on page 24, the text description says even less than the diagram suggests: The board supports eight USB ports. All eight ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The port arrangement is as follows: • USB 3.0 ports:  Two front panel USB 3.0 ports are implemented through an external connector (blue)  Two ports are implemented with vertical back panel connectors (blue) Thanks, -- Chris Murphy

RE: iptables with logging vs denyhosts

Have you looked at fail2ban? It watches /var/log/secure for break in attempts/failed logins and dynamically adds iptables rules to block the bad guys. It will do (automatically) pretty much what you're doing manually. ----- Original Message ----- From: dwoody5654 [mailto:dwoody5654@gmail.com] To: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Sent: Mon, 06 Jul 2015 22:35:51 -0500 Subject: iptables with logging vs denyhosts I have been using denyhosts for almost a year. To date I have only prevented one person logging in and that is ME ( I used the wrong login name). Also, I know of no successful break-ins. My iptables is as follows: -P INPUT DROP -P FORWARD DROP -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -N block -A INPUT -j block -A FORWARD -j block -A block -i wifi_card -p tcp -m tcp --dport 12123 -j ACCEPT -A block -i Nic_external -p tcp -m tcp --dport 12123 -j ACCEPT -A block -i Nic_enternal -j ACCEPT -A block -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A block -i lo -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT -A block -j DROP First, I think that the above will keep the bad guys out, Is that a true statement?

Currently there are 4318 ip adresses in the file and the number of packets that have been logged is 51592. Denyhosts is for stopping ssh attempts and nothing else as I understand it. Having over 4300 lines in /etc/hosts.deny causes almost no delay in logging in remotely. Am I being to paranoid about keeping the bad guys out or is the iptable above completely adequate?

Firefox and flash-plugin on F20

I have a strange happening. On my F19.x86_64 home server, I have both firefox-34.0-1.fc19.x86_64 and the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed. About:plugins shows that it is the correct plugin, and all seems to work as expected. On my F20.x86_64 laptop, again, I have both firefox-38.0.5-1.fc20.x86_64 and the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed. About:plugins however shows that version 11.2.202.466 is the current installed version of the flash plugin being used by firefox. A quick look at my systems shows that there are only 2 libflashplayer.so files: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so And a quick check of both of them shows: strings /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so | grep 11.2.202 FlashPlayer_11_2_202_468_FlashPlayer LNX 11,2,202,468 11.2.202.468 drm/%s/%s/%s/11.2.202.468%s So, if the file in the location that firefox about:plugins shows that it is 11.2.202.468, then why does firefox say it is: Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Path: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11.2.202.466 State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE) Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 This is weird! -- Kevin J.

iptables with logging vs denyhosts
by dcw 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

I have been using denyhosts for almost a year. To date I have only prevented one person logging in and that is ME ( I used the wrong login name). Also, I know of no successful break-ins. My iptables is as follows: -P INPUT DROP -P FORWARD DROP -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -N block -A INPUT -j block -A FORWARD -j block -A block -i wifi_card -p tcp -m tcp --dport 12123 -j ACCEPT -A block -i Nic_external -p tcp -m tcp --dport 12123 -j ACCEPT -A block -i Nic_enternal -j ACCEPT -A block -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A block -i lo -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT -A block -j DROP First, I think that the above will keep the bad guys out, Is that a true statement? Sencondly, I have added a LOG rule just above the DROP rule and I have been monitoring it for about 1 1/2 weeks. As each entry is logged I have been adding it to /etc/hosts.deny. Currently there are 4318 ip adresses in the file and the number of packets that have been logged is 51592. Denyhosts is for stopping ssh attempts and nothing else as I understand it. Having over 4300 lines in /etc/hosts.deny causes almost no delay in logging in remotely. Am I being to paranoid about keeping the bad guys out or is the iptable above completely adequate? I would very much like to here your opinion on this, David

TB - Sort add-on
by JD 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Looked for an add-on that will sort a folder by date (not for display purposes) but to physically re-organize a floder's messages so that they are sorted from oldest to most recent. Any info on that?

mailto links under google-chrome in XFCE (Fedora 21)
by Frank McCormick 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Does anyone know how to setup Google-Chromes handling of mailto links in webpages ? I have run the xfce default handlier application, which has Google-Chrome as my preferred webbrowser and Thunderbird as my mail reader. Everytime I click a mailto link either nothing happens, or I get the message failed to run MailReader (input/output error)...not much help. I have checked the mimelist and it has set links up this way: [Default Applications] text/html=userapp-google-chrome-AGO0MX.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/about=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop application/x-extension-eml=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop the xfce4.helpers file contains this: MailReader=thunderbird TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal WebBrowser=google-chrome FileManager=Thunar There is a link in /usr/bin to thunderbird. In the mime list the x-scheme-handlers for mailto is exo-mail-reader.desktop, which runs MailReader I don't understand any of this---apparently xfce changed the way these things are handled in the latest release. Can someone clear away the fog ? Thanks

Thunderbird question
by JD 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Many emails in my Inbox no longer display. I mean I can see the emails listed in chronological order from oldest at top to newest at bottom. But many older emails simply do not display when I click on the email in the list. I have exited TB and restarted it to no avail.

F22: rebooting to emergency mode
by Craig Goodyear 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

I have done a fresh install of Fedora 22 on the same computer 4 times. Each time, after using the system from 1 day to 3 days and having successfully rebooted several times, a reboot results in being started in emergency mode. This computer was running Fedora 21 since its release without any problems. I am using an ASUS P9X79 Deluxe motherboard. At the emergency mode console the following is displayed in yellow: Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1) ata16.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 ata16.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 ata16.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:01/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 1 dma 16640 in Inquiry 12 01 00 00 ff 00res 00/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation) Running journalctl -xb has the following lines in red: Jun 30 14:48:15 mac.localdomain kernel: Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1) Jun 30 14:48:15 mac.localdomain kernel: ata16.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 Jun 30 14:48:15 mac.localdomain kernel: ata16.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 Jun 30 14:48:15 mac.localdomain kernel: ata16.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:01/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 1 dma 16640 in Inquiry 12 01 00 00 ff 00res 00/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation) Jun 30 14:48:32 mac.localdomain kernel: EDAC sbridge: ECC is disabled.

Using journalctl
by Alex 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi all, I've used journalctl to do some really basic things, but I'm trying to use it to view the former /var/log/maillog, and haven't been able to figure out how. I understand I can use it to search for a specific priority, but haven't figure out how to show only today's mail.* facility logs, using the short form hostname. I also understand you can view logs for a specific process or pid, but that's also not what I want. Ideas greatly appreciated. A FAQ or general usage doc would really be appreciated (beyond just the man page). It just seems like a lot more typing than just "tail -f /var/log/maillog" when that's all I need. Thanks, Alex

F22 unusable - system freezes on login
by Matthew Woehlke 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

(First try apparently got eaten; apologies if this is a duplicate.) I just installed F22 (KDE spin) from scratch on a new Dell M6800. The Live CD seemed to run okay, but when I try to boot the installed OS, it (almost¹) invariably freezes when I try to log in. The machine is effectively unusable as a result. Has anyone else encountered this? Can anyone recommend a course of diagnostics? I'm unable to even get the machine into a state that would allow remote login (over ssh anyway, and I don't know offhand how to set up serial login), and I've not seen anything in /var/log/messages that might indicate a problem. (¹ *Once and only once* I was able to log in, but the system froze as soon as I tried to run an application. Also, I can log in in single-user mode, but this isn't good for much but running dnf and fiddling with enabled services. I *have* applied all updates as of a few hours ago to no effect.) -- Matthew

I'm trying to build a new server using 3xSeagate Baracuda ST3000DM001 3TB drives and RAID5. I tried initially using a F20 DVD but have also downloaded Centos 7 and tried that with the same effect. I set up /boot /boot/efi and swap as standard partitions. I then set up / /home and /var/bacula as RAID5 with 200GB 200GB and whatever is left as the file sizes. The installation and filesystem selection is all done through the installation GIU. I then complete the installation without incident. However, after rebooting the PC just sits there saying Varifying DMI Pool Data.......... which I#'m guessing is the end of the POST. The HDD light is on but nothing happens until it times out and tries to boot from DVD. The Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-G41MT-D3/SI with a BIOS date of 2010-12-31. Any ideas why it won't boot? Is it a mobo issue, or something wrong with the disk configs?

need grub experts

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I cannot get a correct resolution for grub. Here is my /etc/defaul/grub: <-------------------- GRUB_TIMEOUT="10" GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT="0" #GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true" GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU="true" GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md.uuid=81f15cb5:748fb5c1:42bef1a6:1ea1ce47 rd.lvm.lv=fedora/usr rd.md.uuid=4a28174a:f38b4938:233f85f7:6ce585a8 rd.lvm.lv=fedora/racine rd.md.uuid=9f878179:a58f5c78:f645e22e:d7d3c896 rd.lvm.lv=systeme/swap rhgb quiet" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_GFXMODE="1280x1024x32" GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep" GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/grub2/themes/system/fireworks.png" #GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt" export GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="light-gray/black" export GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="magenta/black" GRUB_FONT="/boot/grub2/unicode.pf2" <------------------------- So, as far as I read the grub doc, because of GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep" It is suppose to apply the 1280x1024 resolution to the console during the boot. But it is not the case! I get this resolution only with the grub first screen: fireworks image and the entry list. What is missing in my config? Strangely, I have a "custom file": /etc/grub.d/40_custom, to boot a debian install: <------------------------------- menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, avec Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod mdraid09 insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(mduuid/eb8b5efe5a8f9369e940a0f383d63ad1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 17e0b155-4d77-4769-b568-723329c5f656 echo 'Chargement de Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 ...' linux /vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/debian-deb--racine ro quiet echo 'Chargement du disque mémoire initial ...' initrd /initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 } <----------------------------------------- In that case, the "set gfxpayload=keep" instruction succeeds to give the correct resolution during the debian boot.

GDM Login issue in F22
by Amitakhya Phukan 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hello all, Recently I have seen that whenever I boot up my system, F22, it goes to a text prompt (I assume all processes for runlevel 5 are complete) and displays "Please enter root password to continue" and then after around 30-40 seconds, it displays the GDM. I am at a loss as to what is causing this and I don't know where to start debugging this issue. Please help. -- Best regards, Amitakhya Phukan

Thunderbird blinking browser notice -
by Bob Goodwin 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

This is Fedora 22, 64 bit, XFCE, etc. with Thunderbird 38.0.1 When I click on a URL in an e-mail message it immediately starts a blinking browser notice at the top left. I know, I've just selected a URL and don't need that annoying/distracting box. It's as though I am being implored to go look at it immediately but I would like to continue reading messages before doing so. Does anyone know how to eliminate it or at the least stop the stupid blinking? Google hasn't helped me ...

"software": how does it really work?
by Andrea 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hi, I'm on Fedora 22 default gnome desktop. I've got a few questions about "software" 1) how does it integrate with dnf? for instance if I do "dnf history" I do not see any of the transactions done with the "software" app. 2) do "software" and dnf have the same source? there are packages available only via dnf. 3) when I check for updates "software" most of the times says "up to date - nothing to do - checked at XX:YY" (maybe 2 minutes ago) Then I force it to check and often it finds something to update. Once it is a coincidence, but is it possible that so often updates are published just in the few minutes between the automatic and manual check? Andrea

How do you store a Live Feed from a guitar
by Gregory P. Ennis 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Everyone, I finally have enough time to play with my computer and guitar at the same time. Does anyone have a method of storing a live feed from a guitar. I have a guitar with an acoustic pickup that I normally use with a regular amplifier. I now have a usb audio cable from Alesis LineLink that I can use to connect my Fedora 22 machine to the acoustic pick up of the guitar. I connected the usb audio cable to the computer and to my guitar, but was not able to get any software that that was on my F22 machine to recognize the the live feed. Have any of you used this kind of equipment or other kinds of equipment to store a live feed from a guitar acoustic pickup. I would like to be able to play and store a song or two and then experiment with mixing the sounds. Any suggestions???? Greg Ennis
