Fedora 11 Alpha - release banner
Hi there, we are almost near to F11 alpha release, so I propose to you some candidates for the alpha release banner. Since we are still in a initial session for the official F11 theme, I've used a simple image to point the birth of a new fedora version. http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha5.png http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha5.svg http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha6.png http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha6.svg The great music of the Boss (a.k.a. Bruce Springsteen) has inspired these :-) About background image copyright: the image is a piece of a sunset photo that I've taken personally. If is necessary I'll provide the original photo. -- Paolo Leoni ~ http://pleoni.altervista.org GPG fingerprint: DAD1 6419 D42B 0B1C D9E1 A9CB 4587 4812 17F7 F764 ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I had a constructive comment to make, but I think it might apply to more upcoming Fedora 11 work than just your banners -- which are lovely! Excuse my lack of familiarity with the precise jargon used for describing fonts and spacing: Our complementary font used for our artwork is the MgOpen Modata font, and in this font, the numeral 1 has quite a bit of space around it. That means that the number 11 as in Fedora 11 looks very oddly spaced compared to other text elements. Wherever we write 11 I'd recommend that people use the manual kerning (?) function in Inkscape to move these numerals closer together. If we can do this in a standard way, that's fine -- or if we just leave it to the eye, expecting that if it's way out of balance someone will identify that problem and tweak the design, that's fine too. I just thought it was worth mentioning as we head into the time where people are working on banners that might include 11. I now have the Good Eleven song from Schoolhouse Rock in my head! :-D -- Paul W.

Wherever we write 11 I'd recommend that people use the manual kerning (?) function in Inkscape to move these numerals closer together. Yes, it is called kerning and is easily adjustable in Inkscape (Alt + to decrease the spacing and Alt + to increase it) and in Gimp (where we have a text spacing spin button). If we can do this in a standard way, that's fine -- or if we just leave it to the eye, expecting that if it's way out of balance someone will identify that problem and tweak the design, that's fine too. I just thought it was worth mentioning as we head into the time where people are working on banners that might include 11. While in Gimp is easy to remember the value from the spin box, in Inkscape you need to look at the SVG source to know the exact value, so I guess we'll have to go with the eye. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

transport maps for bastion
Currently all mail which goes through bastion (for example all @fedoraproject.org mail) then relays through mx.util.phx.redhat.com. So, if we look at our mail route it is: primary mxes for fedoraproject.org are: ;; ANSWER SECTION: IN MX 40 smtp.fedora.redhat.com. IN MX 10 mx1.fedoraproject.org. IN MX 20 mx2.fedoraproject.org. IN MX 30 mx3.fedoraproject.org. Which are all redhat.com boxes. So our mail goes from there, to bastion to expand out the aliases we have (ultimately) then back to mx.util.phx.redhat.com to be relayed out to the rest of the world. For various reasons mail bound from bastion to @redhat.com addresses probably needs to go through mx.util.phx.redhat.com, however, mail not bound for @redhat.com shouldn't have to. I'm proposing using a postfix transport map which explicitly says: .redhat.com smtp:mx.util.phx.redhat.com redhat.com smtp:mx.util.phx.redhat.com * : This says: for mail bound to redhat.com or anyhost.redhat.com - relay to mx.util.phx.redhat.com for any other email, relay normally (ie: by the destinations normal paths) So my question for all you nice people is: Can anyone see any problem with doing this?

I'm not a postfix guru so I won't comment on the postfix details, but I do similar things at $DAYJOB so I approve of the general concept. The only thing that I would suggest would be to have more than one box handling @fedoraproject.org email relays rather than relying on bastion. -- Jeff Ollie You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair.

RE: transport maps for bastion
I'm new to the environment but have exp with postfix @ $DAYJOB, so I figure this might be something I can contribute to without sounding too dumb, but if I do please take it easy. :) Currently all mail which goes through bastion (for example all @fedoraproject.org mail) then relays through mx.util.phx.redhat.com. I'm not sure what bastion is but my question is why is the relay going through mx.util.phx.redhat.com currently? I'm guessing bastion is the host the @fedoraproject.org email is delivered on. (?) I can't find mx.util.phx.redhat.com in public dns is there an ACL on the zone or is this an /etc/host entry? Is the relay to mx.util.phx.redhat.com done via a relayhost entry in main.cf? Also, where does mail go after mx.util.phx.redhat.com, I'm guessing there's another hop before the internet because of the dns failure. Which are all redhat.com boxes. So our mail goes from there, to bastion to expand out the aliases we have (ultimately) then back to mx.util.phx.redhat.com to be relayed out to the rest of the world. back to mx.util.phx.redhat.com? does it come from their or from the MX hosts? For various reasons mail bound from bastion to @redhat.com addresses probably needs to go through mx.util.phx.redhat.com, however, mail not bound for @redhat.com shouldn't have to. Just curious as the the various reasons you mention here. I'm proposing using a postfix transport map which explicitly says: .redhat.com smtp:mx.util.phx.redhat.com redhat.com smtp:mx.util.phx.redhat.com * : I believe you could also remove the last line and if a relayhost is used in main.cf comment it out. It should do the same thing since postfix uses dns mx or A record for next hop delivery. So my question for all you nice people is: Can anyone see any problem with doing this? I've tested it out on a different mail server I take care of and it works fine. I would wonder if this is needed at all? why can't the redhat.com domain go to the mx too? just curious. As long as redhat.com isn't one of bastion's postfix mydestination I would expect everything to still work and be a much easier config to change or troubleshoot later. /me likes things as simple as possible :-) PS. was there a meeting yesterday? I was planning on joining but had a conf call scheduled and didn't see notes from the list.

PPC kernel build times
So I poked around at why ppc builds seem so slow. Net result: I still have no idea. On a quad-970 machine with 2GiB of DRAM running the latest F-9, I did a 'make ppc64' build of the devel kernel with a modified kernel.spec file that spit out some basic timestamps on the RPM sections. Results: Total time: real65m58.701s user89m53.501s sys 11m4.737s Each section: Prep: 52 seconds Build: ~33 minutes Install: 38 seconds [jwbo...@yoda devel]$ grep -e Prep -e Build -e Install .build-2.6.29-0.39.rc1.git5.fc11.log | grep -v + Building target platforms: ppc64 Building for target ppc64 Prep Start: Thu Jan 15 15:48:16 EST 2009 Prep End: Thu Jan 15 15:49:08 EST 2009 Build Start: Thu Jan 15 15:49:08 EST 2009 Build End: Thu Jan 15 16:22:57 EST 2009 Install Start: Thu Jan 15 16:22:57 EST 2009 Install End: Thu Jan 15 16:23:35 EST 2009 The overall time is slightly faster than the koji builds I've seen by a few minutes. This is somewhat expected, as my box wasn't really doing much else at the time and some of the builders are blades with fewer cores and slower hard drives. Since I had nothing better to do in my sad life, I was watching the top output a bit during one of my builds. I noticed that when rpmbuild got to the part where it was writing out the -debuginfo RPM, it took almost 18 minutes. Why this is, I have no idea. For gits and shiggles, I grabbed the config from the resulting RPM and used it with a 'time make -j4' on Linus' latest git tree: real28m46.829s user70m30.520s sys 7m43.533s So the build time seems roughly equivalent.

how to identify the missing perl module to be installed
is there a quick way to map a perl module to its corresponding package to be installed? someone just dumped a perl script on one of my systems, and it fails with: Can't locate IO/Uncompress/Gunzip.pm in @INC ... etc etc fair enough, so which of the perl module packages would i need to install? taking a shot in the dark, on one of my other systems, i ran: $ yum search perl-IO-Compress ... snip ... perl-IO-Compress-Base.i386 : Base Class for IO::Compress modules perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2.noarch : Perl interface to allow reading and writing of bzip2 data perl-IO-Compress-Zlib.i386 : Perl interface to allow reading and writing of gzip and zip data $ rpm -qi perl-IO-Compress-Base ... This module is the base class for all IO::Compress and IO::Uncompress modules. $ so that kind of gives it away, but what if i wasn't such a lucky guesser? is there a mapping utility from module to RPM package? thanks. rday -- Robert P.

(Although that someone might want money for it) For scripting the things you need will probably be most easy with Perl or Python, but it's also possible to do it with shell script and using linux commadline utilities like sed and so on. So if you are up to the task just find some books on the scripting languages and google for pam that pam module or howto write pam module.

Summary:
SELinux is preventing plymouthd from creating a file with a context of
unlabeled_t on a filesystem.
Detailed Description:
SELinux is preventing plymouthd from creating a file with a context of
unlabeled_t on a filesystem. Usually this happens when you ask the cp
command to
maintain the context of a file when copying between file systems, cp
-a for
example. Not all file contexts should be maintained between the file
systems.
For example, a read-only file type like iso9660_t should not be placed
on a r/w
system. cp -P might be a better solution, as this will adopt the
default file
context for the destination.
Allowing Access:
Use a command like cp -P to preserve all permissions except SELinux
context.

Should the rpm installer have over written them? I dunno, there could be problems intro'd either way in this case. The rkhunter installer will not overwrite anything in /etc. The copies it takes of the files are for its own use and put into a separate secure directory. It is those files it looks for. Looking at the rkhunter 1.3.2 rpm spec file (as used for the Fedora package), it does not seem to take an initial copy of the files. So that would explain why you got the initial warning. However, as has already been replied, the spec file for 1.3.4 FC10 does do this initial copy (although I cannot personally verify that). Nope. Neither one does that. You need to run 'rkhunter --propupd' to get it to make copies of passwd/shadow and save file properties. The reason for that is that the package can't know anything about how much you trust your current install when it's installed. It's up to you to run the --propupd and tell it that you think the system is clean and that everything should be saved. John. kevin At the time I posted the original message, I had already done that with 1.3.2, so I built 1.3.4, which did apparently do that properly when that operation was repeated.

App to manage/track/spawn processes
Hi. Not really a Fedora question, but maybe someone has thoughts on how to implement this. I've got a situation where I'm looking to have a process where I spawn off a number of external apps. I'd like an app to manage the entire process of creating/tracking the child apps. So basically, I'd like to be able to fire off 10 copies of the child app, track the health/status of the child copies while they're running, abd be able to continually fire off additional copies of the child app when the number of running child apps gets below a given threshold. Of course I'd like to know if I'm already running a given child app, so I only have a child app with the same input args running once. I'd also like to be able to track when a child app is halted/stuck, so I can gracefully kill it, and restart it... Any thoughts on any kind of open source app that does this, or gets close... I started to architect a quick solution to this when I couldn't find anything on the 'net, but figured I'f ping here as well.

Looking at the rkhunter 1.3.2 rpm spec file (as used for the Fedora package), it does not seem to take an initial copy of the files. So that would explain why you got the initial warning. However, as has already been replied, the spec file for 1.3.4 FC10 does do this initial copy (although I cannot personally verify that). Nope. Neither one does that. You need to run 'rkhunter --propupd' to get it to make copies of passwd/shadow and save file properties.

My programmer is the Olimex Ltd. OpenOCD JTAG device on bus 7.
The documentation for the device says it needs access to /proc/bus/usb.
I can allow regular user access by manually issuing a chown command for
the port, but then I'd have to do it every time I reboot or unplug the
programmer. How do I set it up to happen automatically in F10 ?
Thanks !
One way is to create a udev rule that sets the permission for the
device. You may also want to create a symlink to a consistant device
name at the same time.
If there isn't a device created for it, it gets a bit more
interesting. I have a small script that I call from the udev rule
that sets the permissions for the specific device in /proc/bus/usb.
I actually wrote it for use with VirtualBox, but it should work for you.
# Rules for VirtualBox USB devices.
ACTION!=add,SUBSYSTEM!=usb, GOTO=vbox_rules_end
# eBookwise eBook reader.
ATTR{idVendor}==0993, ATTR{idProduct}==0002,
run=/lib/udev/set-usb-group %s{uevent}
LABEL=vbox_rules_end
#! /bin/sh
ret=false
if [ $DEVICE != ]; then
if [ -e $DEVICE ]; then
chgrp vboxusers $DEVICE \
chmod g+rw $DEVICE \
logger udev/set-usb-group: $(ls -l $DEVICE)
ret=true
fi
fi
The group is hard coded in the script, and it only give group
permissions, but that is easy to change. One of these days I will
get around to cleaning it up, and let it get the
user/group/permissions as input.

Then after I'm done, I'll just boot using the second drive. Is this possible? If your system is capable of running a virtual machine, then yes. I do this all the time as a matter of my work. You will need the DVD image as an iso file. Run the emulator pointing its cdrom to your iso, and pointing your second hard drive as iits primary. And away you go! here is an example: $ sudo qemu-kvm -hda /dev/sdb -cdrom F10.iso -boot d -net user -net nic -m 1024 If your system does not support kvm, then just use qemu. The actual name of the .iso file will be different from my example, of course. MAKE SURE /dev/sdb is the drive you want to wipe. CAVEAT EMPTOR: grub will be installed on the second drive. You will need to add one by hand to the running system for it to show on the normal list -- or -- boot it from the BIOS boot menu.

Re: how to get username use another home directory

Re: how to get username use another home directory

I would have great reservations about this due to unexpected interactions of things such as backups, access to certain system files (through /usr/bin and /usr/sbin) for example, especially with multiple users on the system. By convention, many applications expect /home to contain user directories, and while if coding standards are followed, the shell variable $HOME will point to the correct directory, in some cases poorly written or experimental code is sometimes not so clean.

Placing the mount points for all removable media directly in the root directory would potentially result in a large number of extra directories in /.

Apparently, HAL doesn't think so. /media : Mount point for removable media Purpose This directory contains subdirectories which are used as mount points for removable media such as floppy disks, cdroms and zip disks. Rationale Historically there have been a number of other different places used to mount removable media such as /cdrom, /mnt or /mnt/cdrom. Placing the mount points for all removable media directly in the root directory would potentially result in a large number of extra directories in /. Although the use of subdirectories in /mnt as a mount point has recently been common, it conflicts with a much older tradition of using /mnt directly as a temporary mount point. - /mnt : Mount point for a temporarily mounted filesystem Purpose This directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily mount a filesystem as needed. The content of this directory is a local issue and should not affect the manner in which any program is run. This directory must not be used by installation programs: a suitable temporary directory not in use by the system must be used instead. Hope that clears it up. Yes...and no. That would seem to say that a permanently mouted filesystem such a a Windows partition on a dual boot system should not be mounted in /media since it is not removeable nor should it be mounted in /mnt since it is permanently mounted. But then where?

Re: FC10, Could not start Kstartupconfig
Tim: How did you create the new user logins? I'm guessing that you just added new users, one by one, and didn't add them in the same order as the first time around. So that some user names have the same user ID (numerical), and some don't. Jim: Most likely that's what i did and I wasn't aware of that, ol well learn the hard way. A recursive chown on each (new) users home directory ought to be able to fix that up, if you're not having users spanning across different networked computers and needing the same ID on each computer. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Re: Total newcomer trrying to set up wireless
David Henig wrote: Hi all, I recently built my first Linux system, figuring it was time to give Linux a try after years and years with Windows (and many more besides in years gone by, including Unix). It's not going well I'm afraid... I connect to the internet using a Buffalo Wireless G adaptor, but having plugged this in I have no idea whether it's properly recognised (it is listed in the network utility) nor how to make it work with the selected network. Is there a step by step process to making a wireless device work? After that I'll need to set up a network attached printer. Should I give up now? David David, Simple things first, what interface is the Wifi adapter? Second, quick way to check out your success with the card, without knowing if it is USB, PCI, or other, is to check out either /var/log/dmesg (during a boot or reboot it should show here if it is found) or in /var/log/messages if you are using a default setup. Outside of that, I think NetworkManager would be best to get it set up if it see's the card. Printers are easy though, so it should take less of a curve than the wifi card. ~Seann smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature -- 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

Internal IDE DVD Burner
I think I've run into a bad DVD burner/reader and maybe someone can help. At home I've got 5-internal DVD burners and at work I have 1-external DVD burner at my disposal. Of these 6-burners I'm pretty sure I know the brand names of most (2-Sony; 1-HP; 1-eMachine; 1-Pioneer; 1-LiteOn) based upon the machines they are in. I know the Sony's are the same even though 1 is internal and the other external. The burner I seem to be have the problem with is the Pioneer. It doesn't seem to process a Fedora 9 x86_64 or CentOS 5.2 x86_64 installation DVD - even if the thing was burned on it! All of the blank DVDs are +R and I use Verbatim, HP, Imation, and TDK. Currently the machine that houses the Pioneer is the only x86_64 machine I have, so I have no way to test on another machine. The only install DVD that is working is Fedora 8 and Fedora 10. I want to install CentOS 5 as it's the most like the Red Hat 5.1 I support at work and I want to run Oracle on my machine. How can I verify a x86_64 install DVD on a non-x86_64 machine (I've done the md5sum and sha1sum process at DVD creation time)? Is it because I've burned a x86_64 DVD on a i386 machine causing me a problem? Should I just try -R DVDs? Should I lower the burn speed? Is the phantom of the DVD haunting me?

Re: how to get username use another home directory
Globe Trotter wrote: Thanks! I wonder that myself, sometimes, but it is for historical reasons. In the days that there was no rpms, I used to keep locally installed programs there and did not want it wiped out with every new tinkering. I still use some of them, but all options are set to use /usr/local/trotter, etc. # usermod -m --home /usr/local/trotter trotter The -m option moves the current home dir to the new dir. Obviously, you don't want trotter logged in when you do this. Thanks! However, does it not wipe out the /usr/local/trotter directory. I just want to get rid of the /home/trotter and make everything point to /usr/local/trotter directory (which exists from an earlier installation). I haven't actually tried this, but am just wondering. I would guess that it would, in which case you'd want to omit the -m option. But I can't say that I've tried this anytime in recent memory. Isn't it is a better option to allow for a home directory to be chosen at installation? I have never figured out why Fedora does not allow this choice (with a default). I suppose it is very uncommon for folks wanting to change the location of /home. Usually you would just make /home a separate partition to achieve this (and may very well do the same for /usr/local). Those options are available in the installer, of course. If you wanted to make useradd and system-config-users default to a different location for user home dirs, you can do that as well by editing /etc/default/useradd and changing the HOME setting. That could be done via kickstart even. Basically, I think that what you want is generally outside of the majority of use cases. And when you're in that position, you sometimes have to do a little tinkering on your own. :) -- ToddOpenPGP - KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~ Happiness is good health and a bad memory. -- Ingrid Bergman (1917-1982) pgpn9scM3lBtB.pgp Description: PGP signature -- 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
