rpmbuild : can't download source
by arnaud gaboury 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

I usually manage to build easily one package. I changed the way I build my packages using a makerpm user, as it is the best way to avoid polluted environment variables. The weird thins is I can't download the source anymore, and can't see why. >From my spec file: ------------ Name: R-intel Version: 3.2.3 Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: A language for data analysis and graphics URL: http://www.r-project.org Source0: http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/R-%{version}.tar.gz -------------------------------------------------- The URL exists. -------------------------------- [makerpm@poppy rpmbuild]$ rpmbuild -ba SPECS/R-intel.spec error: File /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/SOURCES/R-3.2.3.tar.gz: No such file or direct -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there any reason why I can't download the source with this new user makerpm ? I must miss some settings. -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx

Fedora 22 continuously rebooting
by Armelius Cameron 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hello, After the latest upgrade over the weekend, my laptop (Dell Latitute E6540) continuously rebooting after restart. Before the restart (after upgrade) everything seemed to be working OK. Sometime the boot sequence wont even get as far as starting X before rebooting. Sometime it starts X then sit for a few seconds, then reboot automatically. I cannot make sense of what's going on. I tried booting to the oldest kernel I have (4.2.6) and it's giving me the same results. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. AC

No Video Following Update
by David Dembrow 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

A recent fedora 23 update included kernel 4.3.3-300 and breaks the video. The video module that is causing the problem is the i915 (actual hardware is Intel 945GM). Is there a know workaround better than booting up on the previous kernel (4.2.8-300)?

firewalld and source/dest rules?
by Alex 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hi, I have a fedora23 system and just starting to learn how firewalld works. None of the documentation really discusses how to add rules from a specific source (the -s option with iptables). Is this not what firewalld was intended to do? How do I restrict access to ssh or dns only from specific remote IP addresses? I've found the "rich" rules, but if I have to create rules at the port level without any association to the service, then I don't understand the point of using it. In other words, it appears necessary to add additional manual rules, while also having to "--add-service=dns" instead of the dns service taking care of it all in the first place. In other words, to create a "rich" rule for dns, it appears necessary to do: firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.1.0/24" port port=53 protocol="tcp" accept' --permanent firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.1.0/24" port port=53 protocol="udp" accept' --permanent and that also doesn't provide the ability to control the "state" of the packets. Thanks for any ideas. Alex

disk encryption
by Jeffrey Ross 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

I installed Fedora 23 on a Laptop a while back and I decided to use disk encryption. At this point I find the disk encryption to be more of a hindrance and would like to remove it. Am I correct that it may simply be easier to re-install the system rather than try to remove the encryption or is there an easy way to remove it? Thanks, Jeff

Lexar jumpdrive and Linux support
by Alex 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi, I just purchased a Lexar Jumpdrive S25 2x32GB USB sticks and just noticed it has some kind of built-in encryption. Any chance it's supported with Linux? What is it exactly? Before I open the package, I thought I'd post a message to see what people's experience has been with them? I didn't notice the encryption support until after I purchased it. I thought I recalled there being a problem with some USB sticks with encryption and support for Linux, so I thought I'd see if that was still the case before opening the package. Thanks, Alex

WARNING you cannot build info or html versions of the R manuals
by Rolf Turner 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

It's no big deal, but when I build R from source (as I must) I always get the warning given in the subject line of this post. I have searched the web a bit and have found a number of references to this warning. Universally the proffered solution is "install texinfo". So I did (just now) sudo yum install texinfo and was told: > Package texinfo-4.13a-16.fc17.x86_64 already installed and latest version > Nothing to do I checked with "whereis texinfo" and got: > texinfo: /usr/share/texinfo /usr/share/man/man5/texinfo.5.gz So it's there on my system --- but perhaps not where R can find it??? Can anyone suggest to me what I need to do to get R and texinfo to cooperate? Please note that I am running Fedora 17. Yes, I know, it's antediluvian. But for reasons I do not wish to discuss, I'm stuck there. (This is one of the reasons why I must build R from source. It all works fine, except for that warning.) cheers, Rolf Turner -- Technical Editor ANZJS Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276

Can you suggest a way to get SELinux back in order?
by Doug H. 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

After about a day of not having crontabs running I realized that SELinux was stopping both user and root crontab jobs. I messed with it and then discovered: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1298192 (Recent dnf updates caused crontabs to be restricted. Reboot to last kernel fixes that.) I added myself to that bug but I had already broken SELinux to the point where it would not work properly even if I rebooted to the previous kernel. I was willing to be stupid/brave about messing with it since I figure that if I can't get it back in order then I don't know enough about it. A full relabel takes about ten minutes on my system, so it is not terrible. I have been with "Fedora" since it was "Redhat 5.0" but only enabled SELinux after upgrading to F23. This bug keeps making me want to go back to "disabled" but then I come back to it and do some more googling. My last attempt to fix it was with: (reformatted to easier reading) dnf reinstall libselinux-utils selinux-policy libselinux-devel libselinux-python3 libselinux.i686 libselinux-python selinux-policy-targeted rpm-plugin-selinux libselinux.x86_64 Then a reboot to do the relabel and run with "permissive" to debug. It had lots of issues. I suspect that most were simply that I was doing working as the admin for my machine and that was not properly set. My question: Can anybody suggest a series of steps to put my F23 SELinux installation in line with the default workstation install of F23? Note that I was previously running: setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs 1 setsebool -P httpd_read_user_content 1 I happen to have a personal use web server running out of /home/httpd and I would rather leave it there since /home is a partition. The point being that I am fine with running the basic allows that SELinux Troubleshooter identified when I first enabled it. -- Doug H.

Previous message sent in error.

The message that I sent to this list, a few minutes ago (with subject line "WARNING you cannot build info or html versions of the R manuals") was sent here by mistake. I *intended* it to go to r-sig-fedora, and messed up. I have re-sent this message to the address that I originally intended. My apologies for the inadvertent cross-posting. cheers, Rolf Turner -- Technical Editor ANZJS Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276
