Apache and umask for document root
by Alex
Hi,
I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some
permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about
how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including
creating a systemd file
(/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the
following:
[Unit]
Description=The Apache HTTP Server
After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target
[Service]
Type=notify
Environment=LANG=C
Umask=0006
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful
# Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop
KillSignal=SIGWINCH
KillMode=mixed
PrivateTmp=true
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also
need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some
files within the document root.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user?
I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla
document root.
Thanks,
Alex

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher
I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months.
Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's
even seen a dual layer disk :'(
SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA
optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to
buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable?
Is anybody already running them with Fedora?
Thanks for any advice/experiences.

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston
From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in:
rpm -q --changelog openssh |less
as:
"* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7
- experimental NSS keys support
- correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951)
"
was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped
Fedora 8 ssh.
As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not
help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader`
# ssh-add -s 0
Enter passphrase for smartcard:
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add card: 0
# ssh-add -s 1
Enter passphrase for smartcard:
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add card: 1
So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced
to reading the source?

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters
Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming
messages?
If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just
change it to the current date.
If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just
change it to the current date.
I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how.
I've done some searching, still have some to do.
Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if
necessary.

systemd timers and amavis quarantine
by Alex
Hi,
There used to be a timer similar to something like
amavis-quarantine-clean.timer that periodically would remove old files
from /var/spool/amavisd/quarantine, but it's nowhere on the system on
fedora35, yet the system is somehow deleting files older than 30 days
from the quarantine still.
Where do I look? It's also not an obvious other timer
$ systemctl list-timers --all

And there's nothing related to a timer service in the package itself.
Other ideas greatly appreciated. Maybe it's not even a timer? I also
don't see any cron entries that are related.

HP laptop and wifi on Fedora 35 fix wifi adapter.
by Cătălin George Feștilă
After the upgrade with F35, I got some errors on wifi.
Now I saw the adapter is not shown but is listed on hardware.
If I press the wifi button then start the airplane mode and is set to on.
How can be fixed?

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry
I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install.
I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run.
The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it.
None of the default options for Brother printers came close.
The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things:
Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs.
Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page.
The printer never comes out of deep sleep.
How do I fix this?
It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did.
In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to
installing a printer on Linux:
Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort.
I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts.
BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided?

DRPM performance ?
by jim.cromie＠gmail.com
so a couple of weeks ago,
I did a dnf update, and got ~ 19% reduction due to DRPM
that was by far the highest return on the effort Id seen.
previous experience for me was 1-4%.
I should have grabbed a "screenshot" and sent it here.
Whats the "average" experience here ?
are there statistics ?
do *noarch 's do better ?
how often do you see some version of "find/download failed" ?
(it sometimes appears to be a cached-version problem,
particularly if the update is older than a few days)

audio problem
by Eyal Lebedinsky
I am on f34 5.15.16-100.fc34.x86_64
This problem started recently (a few weeks, maybe a little longer?).
Initially I noticed audio hiccups when playing mythtv recordings. At times there was also video noise
but not always.
I then found that playing audio from a network stream (with vlc) also had hiccups. The sound would
stop and start, sometime even repeat a fraction of a second.
I now played a track from a local disk and the same issues were heard.
There are no messages to indicate a problem. I then used 'mplayer' which has more console messages
and I now can see an issue:
==========================================================================

I get similar problems with [HDMI 3] and with [ALC887-VD Analog] selected using pavucontrol.
lspci shows
Audio device: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH cAVS (rev 10)
What can I do now to diagnose the problem?
One more data point: for a long time (many months) I had a problem where the system locks up hard
needing a cold restart. There were no hiccups otherwise. It always had mythtv playing or YouTube.
When locked the sound of the last second would loop continuously until the reset. The video is frozen then.
Maybe related? This is a long running problem (happens once every few months) but the audio stutter
is a recent, new issue.
TIA

LibreOffice7.3 crashing?
by Michael D. Setzer II
Have the Fedora version of LibreOffice working just fine.
Also, have the LibreOffice 7.2.5 working just fine.
Downloaded the 7.3 and and it seemed to install fine,
but attempts to use it result in crash??
Restart has it upload, and it successfully submits the
crash report, but goes in safe mode, but still crashes?
Doesn't seem to show me any info on what the crash is?
I've been trying to bring up calc, so perhaps other parts
work? This is on fully updated Fedora 34.
Uninstalled the 7.3, and have Fedora version and 7.2.5
working again. Did try uninstalling 7.2.5 and installing
7.3, but it did same thing.
Perhaps the report will tell them something. Just
wondering if others might either have same issue, or
others have it work?
Thanks.
