I'm afraid to just try it, don't want to fry something.

No idea on that.

I wrote a python program that can be used to construct an iso based on a 
isoinfo dump of the iso you are after (usually about 200kB). You then 
tell the program where you have content that is on the new iso, this 
could be individual rpms from the rawhide repo (if you have 
keepcache=1), or from an earlier iso (preferably the most recent).


It then inserts each of the files into an iso image.
The final step is to either use rsync against a full image (more 
efficient eg 70% done to start with), or the bittorent stream, pointing 
the output to the iso that the program created, so that it checks and 
fills in the missing bits (40-50% done to start with; this is because 
torrent has minimum 256kB blocks, that can cover multiple files).


You'll find it in the archives of this list, or I can report if anyone 
is interested. NB: someone has to have the real full copy and run 
isoinfo on it for it to be of any use.


Cheers,

good news! The program I had written about previously worked on my

I installed YamiPod on F9, installed the libfmodex.so.4.02.05

Next I ran YamiPod with no iPod actually mounted and
since there is no exit/quit in any menus, proceeded to click

As for mounting the iPod in /mnt or /media, where is the

I assume that plugging in the iPod automatically mounts
to /media but not sure, and if it mounts rw?  I have used

Okay, can you run:

rkhunter --debug --enable "passwd_changes group_changes"

This will create a file in the /tmp directory named something like
'rkhunter_debug'. Can you email that to me please (it will be big, so do
not email to this list).

Secondly, did you install rkhunter from source or via an RPM from a
repository?

No, the propupd option has nothing to do with passwd/group files. It
records file properties (mode, permissions, hash values etc). running
rkhunter with --propupd will make no difference in that respect.

Ah, yes. Whether they are genuine or not is, I'm afraid, for you to
decide. I too have just upgraded acrobat to version 9, and have seen
these files created. I suspect a lot of people running rkhunter will get

I think if you run 'mount' you will see that /dev/shm is mounted as a
tmpfs. Basically it resides in memory (AFAIK), so the files will be
recreated when necessary after each reboot.

virt-manager gives error right befor finish

2009-05-17 Thread Armin Moradi
Hi list,

It has been a few days that I'm trying to create a virtual machine in
virt-manager with qemu/kvm.  I add a connection, and then press 'New'
to create a new guest.  Then I enter the information about the guest
(paravirtualized is disabled) and set the memory and disk image it
should boot from ( .iso ).  And when I press finish, it gives me this
error/traceback:

I have installed the Virtualization group (yum install

I realize that John & thank you for the reply, but that doesn't tell me IF 
they are _genuine_ or what the heck they are doing.

And considering that most files in /dev don't get out of the inode they were 
created on, what the heck is a 67+ megabyte file full of $00 named pulse-some-
hash-number being used for?  If there was data in it, I maybe could see it had 
a use, but if I wanted 67+ megabytes of /dev/zero for something, I'd call dd 
and make it.  So would most programmers except I'd sure pick some place 
besides /dev to store it.

I did find out who owns /dev/shm though, its kded4, and even with x stopped, 
or a fresh reboot to runlevel 3, /dev/shm can be emptied, but cannot be 
deleted as its 'busy'.  So I suppose the other files will reappear at some 
point in the course of my daily activities.

What are the ADBE files?  They actually do contain data, but only in the first 
2-3 bytes of the 16 they occupy, the rest are $00.

IMO this is stuff that probably belongs in /tmp, and it makes me nervous when 
some app decides to use just any old location where a rootkit might hide, for 
67+megabytes of /dev/zero.  Boggles the mind.  FWIW, Since I posted this 
originally, I attempted to remove the shm stuff (crypto related?? damnifiknow) 
from the kernel, and the boot locks up at the end of the drive scan.  
Repeatedly.

Thanks John

The name "rsync" seems to imply that it will make them identical. Does
that mean if the source has fewer files than the target the target will have
some deleted? Is there a command string to ensure I wont lose anything?



I made backups of both files in each computer and rsync dealt with it as
long as I transferred the entire file, something I could have done with
sftp. If I tried to rsync the larger file with the smaller it simply
replaced the larger file and I lost information.

So I have the same information in both computers but there is data in the
smaller file that I do not have in the larger one. I may have to copy the
data individually which will probably work all right but there is no
assurance that I will get everything.



On the possibility that it might help you here, I'm going to
restate/add to what others have already written. Apologies if you
already know this.

If you think that there is a magic tool that is going to look inside
your files that have been independently edited on separate machines
and automatically synchronise/combine/merge the files' internal
contents to make them identical without you having to think about the
process in great detail, then you are likely to be disappointed.

There are tools to assist with this for text files. The basic unix
tools are "diff" and "patch". The process of propagating changes in
one file into a second file is usually referred to as "merging" the
changes from the first file into the second. The commands 'info diff',
'man diff', 'man patch' on my Fedora 9 give a good introduction to
this which might help you to appreciate that achieving exactly the
desired result is possible but unlikely to be automatic.

This is a big issue for software development projects where many
members of a team may be simultaneously editing the same files. In
these cases, the tools used are referred to as "CVS" (Concurrent
Version System), "Subversion", "git". The commands 'info cvs', 'man
cvs' on my Fedora 9 give a good introduction to this. Again, these are
all good tools used to solve this complex problem.

The GUI tool I use that I can highly recommend to you if you want to
visually and interactively merge files' internal contents is "meld"
available as an rpm, eg 'yum install meld'.

The tool I use for sychronising files without looking into their
internal contents is "unison" that others have recommended, also
available as an rpm, eg 'yum install unison'


Yes David this helps.

Meld quickly identifies the differences in the two files. I can bring up 
"notecase" in two windows, each using one of the files I created and 
simply create new "nodes" as required and then copy and paste 
information from one to the other. Not a very sophisticated scheme for 
moving the data but it works and it enables me to undo the "damage."


Meld was already installed, don't know if it came with the Gnome LiveCD 
or as a dependency for something else I installed.


All of the information you provided is of interest and helps.

Thank you.

Using Philips GoGear on Fedora

2009-05-17 Thread Suvayu Ali

Hello all,

I just bought a Philips GoGear 8 Gb. I chose this mostly because it is 
free of DRM stuff. That is one of the things Philips emphasises on for 
the GoGear range of media players. To play my mp3's all I need to do is 
drag and drop them to the player which is mounted as a regular USB drive.


Everything is awesome except that the player can't read the tags 
although the manual says it supports both ID3v1 and v2. I use Picard to 
tag my mp3's and they show up just fine in rhythmbox. As for video, it 
needs to be converted to .smv (Simgatel mobile video, I think) before 
the player can play them. So I figured I might need to use something 
like opengear[1] or golb[2] (GoGear On Linux Boxes) to do the file 
transfers and video conversion, but these projects seem to have been 
abandoned. Moreover I wasn't able to compile the source code from the 
golb tarball as there was no configure script or makefile.


I have tried running the manufacturer provided software on wine, but 
that is a no go. Does anyone have any experience with these players?


Thanks in advance.

There is an example of the pulse file whitelisted in the supplied
rkhunter.conf file. It is easy enough to do the same for the ADBE files.

I really couldn't say, as I have no understanding of the 
workings of these things, but, now that you point it out, it 
seems quite plausible that these symptoms are caused by the 
stripping of old supports.

Just add these rules to /etc/rkhunter.conf, in the appropriate place:

 # Allow the specified files to be present in the /dev directory,
# and not regarded as suspicious. One file per line (use multiple
# ALLOWDEVFILE lines).
#
#ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/abc
#ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/shm/pulse-shm-*
# Adobe Reader (acroread) 9.x
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/shm/sem.ADBE_ReadPrefs_[a-zA-Z]*
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/shm/sem.ADBE_REL_[a-zA-Z]*
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/shm/sem.ADBE_WritePrefs_[a-zA-Z]*

GlusterFS 2.0 Release

2009-05-17 Thread Harshavardhana

Greetings everyone,

On behalf of the Gluster team I'm happy to announce that we've
released GlusterFS v2.0. A milestone in terms of feature and stability has
been reached, hope it helps your storage needs. :)

Announcement
===
About GlusterFS:
GlusterFS is a clustered file system that runs on commodity
off-the-shelf hardware, delivering multiple times the scalability and
performance of conventional storage. The architecture is modular,
stackable and kernel-independent, which makes it easy to customize,
install, manage and support different operating systems. Multiple
storage systems can be clustered together, supporting petabytes of
capacity in a single global namespace. Building a configuration of a
few hundred terabytes can be accomplished in less than thirty minutes.

GlusterFS Release v2.0:

GlusterFS v2.0 has gone through a major revamp in design and
development since v1.3. Thanks to thousands of initial users who
provided us great feedback and bug reports. There are a number of
production deployments now. GlusterFS uses existing disk file systems
(such as Ext3, XFS, ZFS..) to store your data as regular files and
folders. You can restore the data, even after you uninstall GlusterFS.

So, give it a try and let us know. Please forward this message to
relevant users.

What is in 2.0 release:
http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_Features

Who is using GlusterFS:

Happy Hacking

No need to apologize as that wasn't a top-post. You simply quoted a
message from somewhere. Top-posting is when you do it as a *reply*.

All the same, it's a good idea to cite the source of the message in
these cases.

About /dev/shm -
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/what-is-devshm-and-its-practical-usage.html (btw,
the first result in google). In a few words - it's better not to mess
with it :)
About the audio - It's not necessary for the player to use pulse. How do
you test it?

Another rkhunter question

2009-05-17 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all;

What is /dev/shm?

I've given up on rkhunter ever shutting up about the group and passwd files, 
but fussing about this is new.
-- Start Rootkit Hunter Scan --
Warning: Suspicious file types found in /dev:
 /dev/shm/sem.ADBE_REL_root: data
 /dev/shm/sem.ADBE_WritePrefs_root: data
 /dev/shm/sem.ADBE_ReadPrefs_root: data

And indeed, these files that I nuked friday are back:
[r...@coyote linux-2.6.30-rc6]# ls -l /dev/shm
total 24
-r 1 root root 67108904 2009-05-16 02:37 pulse-shm-3724332759
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root   16 2009-05-16 20:33 sem.ADBE_ReadPrefs_root
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root   16 2009-05-16 20:33 sem.ADBE_REL_root
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root   16 2009-05-16 20:33 sem.ADBE_WritePrefs_root

Anything with 'pulse' in its name has been nuked by an 'rpm -e', and I 
actually have working audio now, so can someone please explain this?  A 67 
megabyte file in /dev for an shm device is for what purpose?

I looked at it with mc's hex viewer, and the first 10 or so megabytes are all 
$00.  I got tired of standing on the page down key.

I cannot say that "Intel sucks on Fedora", but some problems 
are apparent (like, kms won't work on i915, like the display 
freezing when trying to play videos, etc, but this sounds like 
a new 'paradigm' for the display driver, so we need to be 
patient (like we were when the desktop's new paradigm took 
shape in 2008 - and how it has matured!). Like the article 
says, there are so many interleaved projects, like intel 
driver, xorg, mesa, compositing, dri2, and whatnot. I am 
optimistic that it will be wonderful soon.

For me the performance is the mail issue. I tried a simple game on
Fedora 10 and Ubuntu - "World of Goo" and it is not playable because
it is too slow on Fedora, but on Vista with same hardware (i945gm) it
works like a charm

Hi folks,

good news! The program I had written about previously worked on my Fedora 10: the problem I was 
getting starting Yamipod was the impossibility to save the model of my iPod ... You know what? The 
program could not save it because the iPod was mounted in read-only mode! I substituted the 
"ro" option with "rw", umounted the volume and remounted immediately after and 
it worked.

Test result: OK, it's not perfect and sometimes crashes, but this program 
finally allowed me to interact with my new brand-new iPod nano (IV generation, 
16GB, mod. A1285), deleting tunes uploaded with iTunes and also adding new ones 
from my pc. :)

Even better: this software works (I guess) with ANY Linux distro and does not 
require to be installed.

Again, to whom it may concern, here is the website for download and 
instructions:

http://www.yamipod.com/

Enjoy! :)
