[PATCH] pungi: Implement building of 'full' trees
The attached patches implement the building of 'full' trees - these are trees that contain all subpackages of any source RPMs used in the tree composition. This can be useful if the distribution you're building isn't going to have an 'Everything' tree like Fedora has. As an example, a compose of just 'basesystem' with both this option, and the selfhosting option, yields over 2600 binary packages. Patches apply on top of the prior patch series.

I'm not so much worried about that level of difference as I am of say different file lists from noarch rpms built on different hosts, or maybe different endianness of data files.

I've read various solutions, over time, one of which was to modify the page properties of the default template. This is more of an OpenOffice.org question, than a Fedora one. You might want to look through its help, for the version you get with Fedora 10.

So A4 is the expected default page size for everything on the computer. Though, for a very long time, I was always having to reset new documents to use A4 instead of US letter. On a document by document basis, it's the page format style options that you play with to set the page size of a document. Not the printing preferences.

Is it only my problem or does someone have same problem? sorry, explressed not well. This happens only when I use Open Office. Other programs print without problem. OpenOffice does not listen even when I set page size to A4. I set default page size in CUPS as A4. But OpenOffice looks somewhere else and it prints in Letter page size.

I have found solution (maybe) Open OOwriter (empty document) Run from menu: File-Printer settings Select in combo-box first printer, then click to properties and set proper Paper size Repeat it for every printer in combo-box, even for Generic Printer Then quit OOwriter Now try open existing document and print it. It looks that even Printer Size is empty in print dialog (tab Properties) it uses proper size (I set it to A4) and after first print it is visible in print dialog too.

Multiple windows on a window with KDE 4.x ? (1x24 display or 2x20 displays... )
Kind of off topic, but I'd love to know what people think of running a single high quality 24 inch LCD display at 1920x1200 versus running 2 20 inch displays at 1680x1050. I have the later setup (2 x 20@ 1680x1050) and it works, no doubt about it. But its not like having a single display because the space isn't contiguous. I tend to use one display as my main work area and the other for the off the side stuff. It would be nicer if it was all one area. However, one thing I do really like about the dual monitor setup is that one gets two windows,ie if one maximizes an application on one of the screens, it expands to fill that screen and only that screen. I'm wondering if its possible to have 2 windows in a single display under KDE4.x Is there a way to set half the display up to be one window and half to be another window ? With a 1920x1200 display, each window could be 960x1200. I'd love to hear what other neat window/display things can be done in KDE4.x that I don't know about. I think one can run each display as a separate Linux session. I've never done that. If one does this, can one copy and paste data between the two ?

Re: VMware Server 2.0, selinux, and F10
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Christopher A. Williams wrote: I had promised to do this and post my results a week ago and got thoroughly tied up over the holidays - sorry about that. It was a good Christmas for us though! :) So - I did get around to loading up a server with the latest version of F10 (32-bit in this case) to run the 32-bit version of VMware Server 2.0 (build 122956) to try and answer the burning question: Does selinux need to be disabled for VMware Server to run properly on F10? I know the inpatient out there can't wait to read the whole post, so here's the answer: Yes. According to our testing (a friend of mine who also frequents this list was here too), the current version of VMware Server DOES NOT RUN on F10 (32-bit) unless selinux is DISABLED. Permissive mode doesn't cut it - it still causes VMware Server to not run. Here are the details: Server: Whitebox Supermicro 1U chassis, dual 2.4GHz Pentium Xeon processors, 4GB RAM, Dual Gig-E NICs, dual 250GB IDE drives OS: F10 32-bit, with all patches as of 12-28-08 Kernel: 2.6.27.9-159.fc10 (PAE version - required to see the full 4GB) We loaded a fresh copy F10 with all of the required development tools and supporting stuff VMware Server needs to compile, and left selinux in its default (enforcing) mode and targeted policy. The system was intentionally updated with all of the latest available patches. After rebooting (kernel update that included a switch to the PAE kernel), we then installed VMware Server from the RPM via Package Kit. The initial RPM install went as expected with no errors or issues beyond the warning that the RPM is not signed (Request to VMware: Please, PLEASE make sure that you always sign your RPMs!). Next up was to configure the system. We fired up a terminal window, switched user to root, and then launched vmware-config.pl as normal. The script properly found everything it needed, set up the virtual networks, and compiled all of the modules against the PAE kernel with no errors at all. All of the services reported in as having started successfully when the script exited, which was when the trouble started. We immediately picked up an selinux error saying that one of the modules required the ability to use text relocation. No big deal here, which is why I don't remember off hand which module committed the offense. I'll go back and pull it up next chance - I'm on a different system right now. The selinux troubleshooter gave us the required command to address this issue, so we fixed the problem and off we went. ...Or so we thought. It seems that something else in selinux is interfering with a new VMware Server 2.0 service called VirtualMachines. I'm not sure what the problem is, how it happens, or why. What happens is that you can launch Firefox to talk to VMware server (http://localhost:8222 in this case) and get the VMware Server login page. However, from there you are unable to login. The system times out with a message basically saying that communication with the back-end server processes has been lost. Further checking (service vmware status) shows that several VMware Server services are actually NOT running. Upon trying to restart the vmware services (service vmware restart), we see that the VirtualMachines service has failed. There are no errors I can see, and nothing in dmesg out of the ordinary. Next, we placed selinux into permissive mode to see if anything might pop up or change, and then rebooted the system. We saw exactly the same behavior from VMware Server as before when selinux was in enforcing mode. Finally, we disabled selinux altogether and rebooted once more. This time, VMware Server came up and ran flawlessly. In fact, it was impressively fast given the age of the hardware. Just for grins, we then completely erased VMware Server, rebooted, and double-checked to make sure everything about it was completely gone from the system. We then re-installed it using the exact same procedure as before. VMware Server installed and ran flawlessly. In fact, just to be sure again, we rebooted the server one more time. Again VMware Server came up and ran without issues. Thus, in our testing of this, it is clear there are multiple issues with VMware Server and selinux. One of the issues is that a specific module requires text relocation, which is easily solved. The other issue is going to be a little more difficult to troubleshoot, but clearly there is something that conflicts between selinux and one of the new VMware Server services, and the only way to get around it at this point is to disable selinux. I'll have the system handy for the next day or so to do some additional testing, but then I have to put it back into production. Let me know what specifics I should look for next to find the source of the problem. Cheers, Chris -- == By all means
Re: Help -- can't SSH into my box
Quoting Chris Snook csn...@redhat.com: I'm curious to know what, if anything, appears in /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure when you attempt to ssh in, as well as what appears when you successfully scp in. Initially, nothing was appearing in /var/log/secure. However, I did eventually find out that my DHCP wasn't handing my box the IP address I was expecting it to, so I fixed the statically-assigned entry in my DSL router for my box and I was able to SSH in from the LAN. When I did that, it showed the expected entry in /var/log/secure. I also saw some hack attempts from an unknown IP (NOT the IP I was coming in from.) Also, the fact that you're running sshd on a non-standard port implies that you've edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Could you try the default sshd_config, just for comparison? It's entirely possible that you're doing something that should be valid, but that some other security policy (PAM, SELinux, etc.) doesn't correctly handle in the default configuration. Hmm.. possibly. I compared it with the saved SSHD_CONFIG from my FC6 box (I copied it to my home directory before wiping and reinstalling) and it *appeared* to be identical. Also, I'm running SELINUX in Permissive mode (have I mentioned I *hate* SELINUX?!?!? G) since there doesn't appear to be any way to disable it entirely. In any case, I'll try that later... I was able to briefly enter my box at home from work this morning, but I got kicked out in less than a minute for some reason and have not been able to get back in. I have also hard-coded my work IP in /etc/hosts.allow. I got in on port 22, instead of the non-standard port (which I prefer not to reveal here for security sake!

So this advice may be wrong for F10. It sounds like the NetworkManager service is controlling the devices, instead of the network service. NetworkManager normally does not bring up interfaces until a user logs in (to the GUI?). You can try adding NM_CONTROLLED=no to the config files. If that does not work, try running: chkconfig NetworkManager off chkconfig network on and see if that fixes the problem on the next boot.

Netbook wifi, wlan0 and inet6 address (F10)
I'm still strugging to find a solution to the problems of the AR5006EG wireless on the Acer Aspire One. It seems that the driver is not being loaded, no matter what I do, so I considered the options. Using ndiswrapper and a windows driver - not simple, as I didn't buy the windows system. I can find several download pages but they all want me to install a windows program to investigate the hardware so that they can give me the correct driver. Yesterday I did find http://www.atheros.cz/download.php?atheros=AR5006EGsystem=1from which I found a driver and an inf file. I tried installing these with ndiswrapper this morning, but it says it can't find a sys file. I've never used ndiswrapper before, so it's possible I'm missing something. Using madwifi - there have been reports that on some systems the madwifi driver gives better results than the kernel driver. I installed madwifi and kmod-madwifi. What must I do to make the system use this instead of the kernel driver? Lastly, I checked ifconfig, which now lists wifi0 and wlan0. wifi0 has no inet addr: at all. wlan0 has an inet6 addr: - I do not use inet6 at this stage. Is there something I must do to disable inet6 before it can get an inet4 address? I have tried everything I know or have read about. Any help would be gratefully received.

More specifically, I'd like to do the following on Fedora 10 systems via the kickstart mechanism: 1) Specify NTP servers (e.g., ntp1.virginia.edu, ntp2.virginia.edu, ...) 2) Enable / activate NTP -- I.e., What one would get by running 'system-config-time' and clicking the Enable Network Time Protocol box. I know this stuff can set manually, post-installation, via the system-config-time route, and that it also can be setup immediately after a kickstart-based install by setting firstboot --enable to run the Setup Agent upon first reboot (...and then manually entering the info at that screen.) But seems as though this could be done at the kickstart level ?? I couldn't find anything on ntp-in-kickstart in the Anaconda Kickstart reference at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart or by searching around the web. I naively did the following in a ks file to modify ntp.conf, but that doesn't actually 'enable' ntp on the system: cat /etc/ntp.conf EOF_ntpconfig server ntp1.virginia.edu dynamic server ntp2.virginia.edu dynamic server ntp3.virginia.edu dynamic EOF_ntpconfig Any tips (or pointers to possible advice) would be most sincerely appreciated...

Fedora 9, OpenOffice 3 and Arial Black
Hello, I have on a machine Fedora 9 where I have installed OpenOffice from openoffice.org. Also on that machine I have installed ms core truetype fonts. I installed the truetype fonts in /usr/share/fonts/ttfonts/ttf and the Type1 fonts in /usr/share/fonts/ttfonts/Type1. After, I run in both these dirs: mkfontscale, mkfontdir, ttmkfdir and fc-cache -fv. The problem is when I open a .doc file which is using Arial Black font, it looks as it is simple Arial and not Arial Black While doing the same thing in Fedora 10 (using the default openoffice 3). Arial Black looks as it should. Does anybody have a clue what might be wrong ? How different are openoffice builds distributed by openoffice.org from those distributed by the fedora community ? Thank you ! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

The linking of replies to the messages being replied to joins the entire set together into a thread. The presentation of the thread as a visual hierarchy or whatever is a matter for the MUA. Take 4 messages, each written by a different person W - Original Message X - In-Reply-To W Y - In-Reply-To X Z - In-Reply-To Y If you rely solely on the In-Reply-To header there is no practical method to link Z to W. Except by linking Z to Y to X to W, which amazingly is what mail clients actually do! This would be especially true in the event where either X or Y did not arrive or does not exist on the message store of the local MUA. Once has always to take into account these types of circumstances. Naturally. One quickly learns that when the Internet Gods say that mail is unreliable, they really mean it, and any software which doesn't take this into account will crash and burn. To return to the point: when delayed messages arrive, they are appropriately inserted in the thread the next time the MUA refreshes its folder view, and of course if they don't, they aren't. An additional header called References might help in some cases, but not if the original message never arrived, so we're back where we started. The MUA does what it can with partial information (and it almost never knows if what it has is partial or complete). FWIW, I've found that RFC 2822 has a better discussion of the use of in-reply-to and references headers and their intended usage. I quoted RFC822 because you said you weren't aware of RFCs which specify threading, and 822 is the original standard reference for email (at least in the form that's still in use). But... RFC822 *does not* talk about threading. You are implying that. As I already said, I know it doesn't talk about threading, but it implies certain things about it (otherwise, what is the point of the In-Reply-To header?). The RFC authors are usually very careful not to overspecify things, especially when there isn't enough real-world experience, so it's no surprise that RFC 2822 (which obsoletes 822) has more to say on the subject as it was written a good few years later. And, even if that were the intent of the authors, it is not clear and thus very much open to interpretation. 2822 is certainly more extensive, but I don't think it adds anything to the present discussion. For example, I'm not aware of any mail clients that use the References header, or that allow a message to be in reply to more than one originating message (such clients may of course exist, in which case it would be interesting to know about them). RFCs often specify stuff that most clients don't implement, e.g. not many people know that you can have a mail message with multiple From: headers (the canonical example is a message sent by a committee, each member of which appears in the From: line with their own address). I've never seen such a message and I doubt I could construct one with any of the clients I use, but the RFCs allow it. Thunderbird uses the References header. If you were to reply to a virgin message and examine the outgoing message you'd notice that it adds the In-Reply-To and References headers which are identical. If you reply to a non-virgin message it adds the In-Reply-To header with the single message id of the non-virgin message and appends that to the References header. Evolution also does this. That isn't the point: creating the References header is relatively simple. When I say uses I mean pays attention to in incoming mail. Can you give a specific example where the MUA uses the References header to display messages (i.e. derives some information from it that is not present in the In-Reply-To header, other than simply copying it to further replies)? I don't say this never happens, just that it would seem at best to be rare. IOW, everyday threading uses the In-Reply-To header, which is my original point. T-bird also uses the Subject line as a hint to threading to assist it displaying threads when certain MUAs don't handle the References header...as it strips it out on a reply. As in violates the RFCs. Does it favour Subject over In-Reply-To? Evolution also has an option to take Subject into account, but only as a last resort. FWIW, not many people know that the From header in the message body may be totally different from the From in the SMTP envelope and that the From header isn't used for message transport or delivery. They also don't know the difference between From and Sender, so what else is new? :-) poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: Upgrade Has Caused A Downgrade
a) When you say upgrade, do you mean telling Anaconda to upgrade an existing installation? Anaconda doesn't have logic to handle migrating from i386 to x86_64, so it's not expected to work. Upgrading from F8 i386 to F9 i386 or F10 i386 generally should work. If you want to switch architectures, you need a fresh install. I attempted to upgrade from Fedora 8 x86_64 to Fedora 9 x86_64 - which failed at the point where the new packages were being installed. b) You haven't given us any diagnostic information at all. F9 and F10 wouldn't have been released if x86_64 builds routinely failed to install, and there's nothing exotic about your hardware, so it's highly unlikely that anyone is going to immediately know what's wrong with your setup. Please at least give us an error message or something. There is no diagnostic information from the initial install because it was a 'bare metal' install. I didn't retain and logs or other diagnostic information from the upgrade attempt because the machine would not boot because the primary OS file systems (/; /boot; /usr) were not fully populated with the Fedora 9 software - but - the Fedora 8 software was no longer at a point where it would boot.

I know the inpatient out there can't wait to read the whole post, so here's the answer: Yes. According to our testing (a friend of mine who also frequents this list was here too), the current version of VMware Server DOES NOT RUN on F10 (32-bit) unless selinux is DISABLED. Permissive mode doesn't cut it - it still causes VMware Server to not run. Here are the details: Server: Whitebox Supermicro 1U chassis, dual 2.4GHz Pentium Xeon processors, 4GB RAM, Dual Gig-E NICs, dual 250GB IDE drives OS: F10 32-bit, with all patches as of 12-28-08 Kernel: 2.6.27.9-159.fc10 (PAE version - required to see the full 4GB) We loaded a fresh copy F10 with all of the required development tools and supporting stuff VMware Server needs to compile, and left selinux in its default (enforcing) mode and targeted policy. The system was intentionally updated with all of the latest available patches. After rebooting (kernel update that included a switch to the PAE kernel), we then installed VMware Server from the RPM via Package Kit. The initial RPM install went as expected with no errors or issues beyond the warning that the RPM is not signed (Request to VMware: Please, PLEASE make sure that you always sign your RPMs!). Next up was to configure the system. We fired up a terminal window, switched user to root, and then launched vmware-config.pl as normal. The script properly found everything it needed, set up the virtual networks, and compiled all of the modules against the PAE kernel with no errors at all. All of the services reported in as having started successfully when the script exited, which was when the trouble started. We immediately picked up an selinux error saying that one of the modules required the ability to use text relocation. No big deal here, which is why I don't remember off hand which module committed the offense. I'll go back and pull it up next chance - I'm on a different system right now. The selinux troubleshooter gave us the required command to address this issue, so we fixed the problem and off we went. ...Or so we thought. It seems that something else in selinux is interfering with a new VMware Server 2.0 service called VirtualMachines. I'm not sure what the problem is, how it happens, or why. What happens is that you can launch Firefox to talk to VMware server (http://localhost:8222 in this case) and get the VMware Server login page. However, from there you are unable to login. The system times out with a message basically saying that communication with the back-end server processes has been lost. Further checking (service vmware status) shows that several VMware Server services are actually NOT running. Upon trying to restart the vmware services (service vmware restart), we see that the VirtualMachines service has failed. There are no errors I can see, and nothing in dmesg out of the ordinary. Next, we placed selinux into permissive mode to see if anything might pop up or change, and then rebooted the system. We saw exactly the same behavior from VMware Server as before when selinux was in enforcing mode. Finally, we disabled selinux altogether and rebooted once more. This time, VMware Server came up and ran flawlessly. In fact, it was impressively fast given the age of the hardware. Just for grins, we then completely erased VMware Server, rebooted, and double-checked to make sure everything about it was completely gone from the system. We then re-installed it using the exact same procedure as before. VMware Server installed and ran flawlessly. In fact, just to be sure again, we rebooted the server one more time. Again VMware Server came up and ran without issues. Thus, in our testing of this, it is clear there are multiple issues with VMware Server and selinux. One of the issues is that a specific module requires text relocation, which is easily solved. The other issue is going to be a little more difficult to troubleshoot, but clearly there is something that conflicts between selinux and one of the new VMware Server services, and the only way to get around it at this point is to disable selinux. I'll have the system handy for the next day or so to do some additional testing, but then I have to put it back into production. Let me know what specifics I should look for next to find the source of the problem. Cheers, Chris --

Re: Upgrade Has Caused A Downgrade
Gene Poole wrote: a) When you say upgrade, do you mean telling Anaconda to upgrade an existing installation? Anaconda doesn't have logic to handle migrating from i386 to x86_64, so it's not expected to work. Upgrading from F8 i386 to F9 i386 or F10 i386 generally should work. If you want to switch architectures, you need a fresh install. I attempted to upgrade from Fedora 8 x86_64 to Fedora 9 x86_64 - which failed at the point where the new packages were being installed. b) You haven't given us any diagnostic information at all. F9 and F10 wouldn't have been released if x86_64 builds routinely failed to install, and there's nothing exotic about your hardware, so it's highly unlikely that anyone is going to immediately know what's wrong with your setup. Please at least give us an error message or something. There is no diagnostic information from the initial install because it was a 'bare metal' install. I didn't retain and logs or other diagnostic information from the upgrade attempt because the machine would not boot because the primary OS file systems (/; /boot; /usr) were not fully populated with the Fedora 9 software - but - the Fedora 8 software was no longer at a point where it would boot. Check the other virtual consoles: ctrl-alt-f3, ctrl-alt-f4, and ctrl-alt-f5 will probably show you something interesting. If you have to, photograph the monitor and upload the screenshot to bugzilla, but please don't send huge image attachments to the list.

Setting SELinux for vsftpd
I've got a server that we use to do speed testing of our upstreams (and customers links) using FTP. This is a fresh F10 install and I'm getting what seems to be a very common selinux ftp error (226 Failed to open directory). I've googled up a couple of forum posts on how to fix it, but most say just to disable selinux. That I'd not like to do. However, one of the options says to do this: setsebool -P ftpd_disable_trans 1 But I get an error: [r...@noc5 speedtest]# setsebool -P ftpd_disable_trans 1 libsemanage.dbase_llist_set: record not found in the database libsemanage.dbase_llist_set: could not set record value Could not change boolean ftpd_disable_trans Could not change policy booleans I have seen the GUI method of doing this, but since I don't run X on this server that's not much help.

What's the correct method of setting selinux up for this? I don't believe that's a legit SELinux boolean for F10. A default SELinux config on F10 shows: [r...@prophead ~]# getsebool -a | grep ftp allow_ftpd_anon_write -- off allow_ftpd_full_access -- off allow_ftpd_use_cifs -- off allow_ftpd_use_nfs -- off ftp_home_dir -- off httpd_enable_ftp_server -- off tftp_anon_write -- off as the only legit booleans having to do with ftp. A check of the SELinux logs would be far more useful, but my guess is that SELinux is blocking access to home directories. In that case, try [r...@prophead ~]# setsebool -P ftp_home_dir 1 wait a minute or so after issuing that command before you try an FTP login and transfer again...some stuff needs relabeling after that command and it takes a bit of time to do that. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ri...@nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 22643734Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - If one is what one eats, then I am fast, cheap and greasy! - -- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
