/etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml also uses output names.
So does the kernel when configuring enabled outputs via video= on the
kernel commandline. I would also prefer a command line argument that
allows to enable the output where a display is connected when my system
is docked and the lid is closed, there is no such thing afaik.

No user config *and no console access* is where it breaks down. Most
people who run real servers use either virtualization, which provides
a form of console access, or remote KVM's, or have hands and eyes.

FWIW my case is Intel too and this change did occur in the most recent

I'm not sure what we're supposed to do about such sabotage on the
network, that seems distinctly a local issue. We should do the best we
can right now, while providing a manual switch for the user to alter
the default.

It used to be the case that we used these servers:
0.fedora.pool.ntp.org
1.fedora.pool.ntp.org
2.fedora.pool.ntp.org
3.fedora.pool.ntp.org

Chrony isn't installed or running on Fedora 21 Server, so at least on
server I have no idea at the moment were the ntp pool is specified.

Time is a basic requirement, it's correct for Fedora installs to point
to a Fedora Project ntp pool by default for Server and Workstation
products; for cloud they may have different (?) requirements. I expect
"manual time" setting to be exist, and it'd be synonymous with ntp
off.

The pool still exists. Are we not supposed to use them?

This has long been the case. However, if it explains _why_, I forget,
for the same reason that this never works. (Yeah yeah whatever, I just
want to install my system now and keep using "godmode" as my root
password just like I always have so I don't forget it.)

The original bug report [1] was kept opened mainly due to the lack of
adding user functionality in anaconda. This is no more true, anaconda
has ability to add an user although it's not enforced.

There are several use cases when local non-root users are not needed at
all as others already pointed out.


The change itself is simple however the problem is more complex overall.
Here are some thoughts I have about the change:

- administrators are alerted when they use weak password for root by
anaconda

- Fedora Workstation and Live installations don't enable sshd.service

- even if the default was 'PermitRootLogin without-password' you would
need to inject an ssh key and when you are able to inject a key, you are
able to change the default configuration

- I personally use several Fedora systems without non-root users in
local network.

- default sudoers uses password of an user for authentication, so even
when I have a non-root user in wheel group, I only need one user's
password to become root

- how much users of these enforced users will be 'user' or 'test'?

Open Seat on the Fedora Server Working Group

2014-11-25 Thread Stephen Gallagher
This past week, David Strauss chose to step down from his position on
the Fedora Server Working Group, citing a lack of alignment with his
current work usage. The Fedora Server SIG would like to thank David for
his contributions up to this point and wish him well.

This means that there is currently a vacancy in the Fedora Server
Working Group. The Working Group is the nine-person volunteer body that
oversees the development, testing, release, documentation, marketing and
evangelism of the Fedora Server. Membership on this Working Group is a
moderate commitment requiring a participation of a minimum of two hours
a week, one hour of which being the (usually) weekly meeting.

Membership on the Fedora Server Working Group does not require you to be
a developer, tester or administrator. Anyone who is interested in
advancing any of the Fedora Server's goals[2] is eligible to
self-nominate. Document-writers, translators, Fedora Ambassadors,
end-users and anyone else can become a part of this team.

If you feel that you are interested in becoming more involved with the
Fedora Server, we encourage you to self-nominate by joining the Fedora
Server mailing list[1] and sending a self-introduction and nomination
email to that list. We will have open nominations from now until
Tuesday, December 9th, where we will vote on the new member at the
weekly meeting.

If you self-nominate but aren't selected to serve on the Working Group,
do not fret! The Server SIG is open to all and the Working Group will
always listen to your advice and concerns, so please stick around! While
the Working Group is the final authority and voting body when
disagreements come up or official decisions (like branding) need to be
made, we are not the only people working on the Fedora Server. The
Server SIG is small today, but growing. We would very much like to have
you join us.

Both chronyd and ntpd are often used as clients.  Miroslav wasn't talking
about server usage scenarios, but replacing systemd's NTP client with either
ntpd or chronyd.  But if you do that, GNOME currently does not report
correctly if the system uses NTP time, which is the bug Miroslav is trying
to solve.


Well, GNOME really shouldn't show an NTP check box in the first
place. Instead it NTP should be always on, but GNOME should provide a
way to manually set the time if no NTP synchronization could be
acquired. More specifically, the NTPSynchronized property of timedated
reflects the kernel's UNSYNC flag, and if that boolean is false, then
GNOME should provide a fallback UI for setting the clock manually, but
only then.


Some networks have bad NTP service in the sense that they hand out 
incorrect time (not just off by a few seconds, but days or months, 
enough to skew certificate validity).  Your proposed solution would make 
GNOME unusable on such networks.  Other bad things might happen there, 
but just pretending that everything this phenomenon does not exist and 
that we know better than the user what the correct system time should be 
in all cases seems very unhelpful.


Now if Fedora offered a high-availability cryptographic time service (we

then we'd be having a discussion about phoning home instead.

If the user is not created you do not change the sshd_config defaults
and let root log in.
Simple, and does not break current kickstarts.

Simo.

Well, GNOME really shouldn't show an NTP check box in the first
place. Instead it NTP should be always on, but GNOME should provide a
way to manually set the time if no NTP synchronization could be
acquired. More specifically, the NTPSynchronized property of timedated
reflects the kernel's UNSYNC flag, and if that boolean is false, then
GNOME should provide a fallback UI for setting the clock manually, but
only then.

Manually setting the clock is something we shouldn't really encourage,
unless there was no way to get a full NTP sync. But if we can get an
NTP sync then we should always prefer that. Hence: removing the NTP
switch from the GNOME UI would be best really. That doesn't of course
mean that admins shouldn't be able to manually override the clock
settings, but that can happen with low-level tools like timedatectl or
even "date" or "hwclock", it needs no friendly exposure in the
graphical UI. Changing the clock manually really should be something
for gurus only, not for the uninitiated...

Never forget that tons of things break if the clock is set incorrectly
(kerberos, nfs, smb, email, make, ...). Users might think that setting
the clock to 1998 is a good idea, but it really isn't, and hence we
shouldn't by default provide a UI for that...

  True, it is complex.

Maybe we could have an option in firstboot(and other such places) by which user 
can override the default non-root account creation. Ie. Say a user is prompted 
to create non-root user account; He/she can choose to override it and not 
create one. In such workflow, he/she is warned about the possible lockout 
situation and duly advised to explicitly enable remote root login in 
sshd_config(5).

Of course, but the desktopy NTP client in Fedora Workstation is chrony,
as you know full well. Unless that changes, we need timedatex. Even if
we decide to drop chrony, we still need timedatex to ensure NTP is not
broken for users who upgrade from F21 to F22. (Unless you have another
plan for handling such an upgrade?)

Both chronyd and ntpd are often used as clients.  Miroslav wasn't 
talking about server usage scenarios, but replacing systemd's NTP client 
with either ntpd or chronyd.  But if you do that, GNOME currently does 
not report correctly if the system uses NTP time, which is the bug

Really? if you want a UI that controls whether NTP server software is
running, why not call into the EnableUnitFiles() APIs directly?

Also, if you want timedated to be a frontend for configuring *server*
software, will you add another tool next, for controlling a HTTP
server?

I am sorry, but timedated is really not the place to control NTP
*server* software. It's simply, desktopy stuff, for controlling NTP
clients. And if you install a full NTP server, then the NTP client
already gets kicked out of the initil transaction and all is good. 

The way to configure server software is via "systemctl enable" and
"systemctl disable" not via "timedatectl".

The fact that X crashes (BZ#1110273) if I try and rotate the monitor on

No it didn't.  xorg-x11-server-utils did update from xrandr 1.4.0 to
1.4.2 between F20 gold and current updates, but as a quick glance at the
upstream changelog shows [1], nothing between those two versions changed
anything about output naming.  It would be insane to do so; those names
come from the server, so changing them in xrandr would mean xrandr
disagreeing with everything else.

tl;dr it's a mess, sorry about that. Stable output naming isn't
something that any of our desktop environments care about, afaik, so
it's not something I'd ever see as a regression.  In a sense, noticing
this level of implementation detail is the price you pay for choosing
not to run something that gets it right for you. [2]

timedatex replacing systemd-timedated for NTP packages

2014-11-25 Thread Miroslav Lichvar
This is about bug #1136905 [1], discussed previously on the systemd list
[2] and also on our desktop list [3].

The issue is that systemd-timedated now supports only systemd-timesyncd
for NTP and ignores other NTP services installed on the system. It doesn't
know that chronyd or ntpd is enabled (usually by system-config-date after
the installation) and switching NTP in timedate clients such as
timedatectl and GNOME control center is broken.

If we want to have this working correctly with chronyd/ntpd, at this point
it seems the only reasonable option is to replace systemd-timedated.
timedatex is a new implementation of the timedate interface that was
recently added to Fedora. It reads the list of NTP units from a directory
as systemd-timedated used to do. When installed, systemd will start it for
the timedate bus name instead of systemd-timedated. The timedate clients
should work as expected, please report bugs if not.

One suggestion was to install it as a dependency of the NTP packages.
Is this a good idea? Should this first go through the Fedora change
process or at least be documented somewhere?

We can install machine w/o user accounts, removing the ability to log
in as root via ssh means those machines will not be accessible.

If you want to remove root access that should be conditionally done at
firstboot only if a user account was created.

Simo.

From my experience, many misunderstandings comes from "release is next
Tuesday, it will be ready on Monday". So even one milestone later;-) The
good thing is, Adam is usually sending email to devel list as reminder.
And it actually follows what you proposed :). Asking devels to fix stuff
by Tuesday, info we would have to slip in case it's not etc. Just it
never was strict deadline and many times it was in the way - hey, we're
so close, let's try to be crazy heroes, we can make it. So yes, we 
already do almost what you proposed, just it's not enforced. If there's
demand for it, I'm not against it. It's a bit less flexible but can
lower pressure on many folks (but prolong release -> more pressure but
spread in more time).

Well, that's actually one piece this is trying to address. By
publicizing and making clear that "Developers must have their packages
*submitted for stable*" at a specific time, we help those developers
schedule their time more accurately.

As I said before, part of the problem is that most developers (anaconda
included, I suspect) have been operating under the impression that as
long as the package is prepped before *Thursday*, it's all good. But
this doesn't allow time for adequate testing and discovery of remaining
issues.

Could it be driver update? ;-)

One reason why you can see such updates is F21 - as it was significantly
delayed, this way we're able help F20 users to enable theirs new HW,
improve performance etc. But downside of it is, that it can cause issues
elsewhere.

from what I've seen xorg packages are always marked as Critical Path.

The update you are referring to is six months old, are you sure the xrandr
command is the culprit and not something else? Did you skip updates for six
months?

There's an intel driver from 18th november, for example:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-15384/xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.21.15-9.fc20

This seems to be much more related to your issues. I don't had any output
renaming recently in the past year (Nouveau here).

Exactly. I use i3wm and I use xrandr to determine if I have my laptop
docked with IPS panel, docked with VGA monitor or standalone. Then I
setup all my workspace appropriately.

Yeah, I have fixed that after 10 minutes this morning. I just want to
ask *why* we rebase things for stable releases. If I want to live on the
edge, I use Rawhide.

I don't understand why I noticed this today, it looks like the latest
update was a Critical Path one (???) when Fedora 20 was stable for six
months.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-7331/xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-6.fc20

Something is not right here.

a) We should not be bumping up versions of packages for stable releases.

b) We should definitely not do this with Critical Paths.

We have plenty of simple window managers in Fedora.  These
generally don't do things like monitor setup for you.

Anyhow, I hit the same thing this morning, with LVDS1 changing
to LVDS-0, HDMI3 to HDMI-2 and VGA1 to VGA-0.  This was on an
Intel adapter.

It's not a big deal, however, it was rather unexpected in the
middle of a stable release...

Here's one example: Intel drv, monitor with broken EDID, Gnome 3.12.
This is limited to either 800x60 or 1024x768 (forget which).

(Have not tested this on 3.14.)

Which desktop are you using? You shouldn't have to mess with startup
scripts that call xrandr to get a monitor setup working.

If your goal is preventing slips you are doing it wrong (tm). Your
proposal would as Kevin said just result into *more* slips.
What we should do is to find out *why* we slip every time and address
that. The handling of the Go/NoGo meeting isn't really the problem,
you are fighting the symptoms instead of the disease.

So you'd have to 1) find out what causes us to slip so often (*cough*
anaconda *cough* [1]) and 2) talk to the related developers / involved
parties to find a way to solve it in a way that is acceptable to both
sides (in that example rel eng / qa / anaconda devs).

1: Ok I didn't check the data but my impression is that most blocker
bugs are in that area I might be wrong though ... but the data is
available to check that.

Yeah, that was a typo. It's actually DP-1 and LVDS-0 (Thinkpad T403s
with Intel). Anyway, this changed from DP1 and LVDS0.

Using what gfxchip? VGA0 I don't remember ever seeing. Most I remember seeing:

VGA # Intel analog (old)
VGA1# Intel analog
HDMI1   # Intel HDMI aka DVI
DP1 # Intel DisplayPort
VGA-1   # Nouveau analog
DVI0# Nouveau & NV DVI
DVI-I-1 # Nouveau DVII multihead
DVI-I-2 # Nouveau DVII multihead
VGA-0   # Radeon analog
DVI-0   # Radeon DVI

Yeah, it's a bit annoying, just got caught by it myself.

I have a simple kvm switch and I can't leave it to defaults or I get a
low res display.

So I have to use a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-monitor.conf.

Are we rebasing xorg-x11 packages in F20?

2014-11-25 Thread Lukas Zapletal
Hello,

my desktop was completely broken this morning because my startup scripts
rely on xrandr utility. An older update from this summer which I applied
recently changed it's output so device ids now contain dash characters
(e.g. instead VGA0 I see VGA-1).

I just wonder why this landed into stable repository. The package
changelog really shows it's a rolling release kinda thing.

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xorg-x11-server-utils.git/log/?h=f20

I understand some packages has exceptions, like kernel, firmware and
such things. But xorg tools? Thanks for explanation.
