Re: Help: No internet connection

Firefox simply tells me: "Server not found. Firefox can't find the 
server at start.fedoraproject.org".


I really have no idea what the problem might be.

Firefox

[jarmo]

Seen discussions, where people claiming Firefox crashing and stucking.
In my case Firefox became extreamly slow and stucked every now and
then. Same time saw in messages log, that npviewer with flash caused
some problems.
I uninstalled nspluginwrapper package and now seems Firefox work more
fluently, so those, who have installed nspluginwrapper and have difficulties
with firefox, give a try without wrapper. 

My system is 32 bit, do not know, if it works with 64 bit system.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I installed system-config-display, and
after running it, if I use the KDE tool to change the resolution,
it now attempts to do so.  Unfortunately, I get the same results as
I got with xrandr; most of the resolutions just give me a black
screen.  If I use system-config-display to change the resolution,
I also get the same result, with the added problem of having to
boot single-user to delete the xorg.conf file to get the display
back.

Broadcom proprietary firmware is not redistributable afaik.  If you want
to roll your own, just add it the kickstart file (the official ks files
are available from spin-kickstarts package) which is available in the

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

Omega, a Fedora Remix has a RC1 out for your feedback.

http://omega.dgplug.org/12/Live/i686/tmp/Omega-12-i686-Live-RC1.iso

It is a 1.3 GB Live image for x86_32 bit systems that has
Openoffice.org, multimedia codecs, games, extra utilities and rolls in
all of the recent updates.  More details in the kickstart file in the
same directory.

Feel free to download, take a let me know how it goes.  I hope to have
the general release out soon. Note that any Fedora Remix is not
officially endorsed by Fedora Project or Red Hat.

I've never seen Konsole doing what you describe, but you might try
"Settings" -> "Edit current settings" in the menu and tweak it to your

I don't use Gnome, but I guess you're talking about Pulseaudio volume control

True, but there are plenty of mail servers (including sourceforge.net)
that verify DNS information by back connecting. The domain therefore has
to either have an A record, or an MX record pointing to a server that
does have an A record, and the server the MX points to (or A if no MX)
must be reachable on the SMTP port. We have found this out because we
modify all MX records to point to our gateway, and we've had people send
mail out from machines we weren't told were mail originators (and
therefore they have no MX), and since the SMTP servers on these machines
are not reachable from outside, mail servers like sourceforge.net refuse
to accept mail from these hosts. So it is possible to have your outgoing
mail rejected due to DNS inconsistencies.

All it does is try to add some margin adjustments to the .ppd
file, so if you save the original .ppd file, you can recover
from anything it might screw up (or you can just delete the
printer and reinstall it from scratch).

To be more precise: It is a completly fresh install of Fedora 12 on a 
Thinkpad T61. I didn't change anything in the network configuration 
except that I put the password for my wireless connection.

That could be the problem, if certain misconfigured senders 
consistently produce the problem (as there is no requirement that a 
domain have an A record to exchange mail, and FcRDNS works for the 
given domain).  OTOH, if the problem is transient, then it may reflect 
an issue with DNS propagation or the DNS servers, an issue I 
occasionally see.  The OP wasn't clear on this.

Thank you, Tom.

I did find and print out that align.ps in my attempt to diagnose the
issue. It would be nice if the test page was something helpful like
that. I, too, didn't know if the script would mess things up or help
so I didn't use it.

It seems absurd that the only way to do this is customize a PPD or
wait for a bug report for my printer to filter though the CUPS
development. I guess I will try my best to decipher the various
printer characterization parameters. I found a PPD compiling page that
might help so if I can stumble on that again, I will take a stab at
it.

I have tried all the different settings here, digital and analog, but to
no avail. It shows the card and all the volume controls, etc. are all
set OK.

Looking at this thread[1] it looks like the card is still not working
even though its recognised now, where in earlier Fedora releases it
hadn't been.

For crashes, Abrt is handling this by default in Fedora 12.
Alternatively, there is https://fedorahosted.org/boog/ which attempts to

I'm not usually a fan of adding programs and hand-holding wrappers where
a simple web page would, but in the case of bug reporting, maybe a bit
of programatic hand-holding would prevent duplicate bugs.  

Another advantage might be that doing the bug report composition on the

version, rpm version, lshw and/or lspci, Xorg.log would be avaible and

Remove your firefox plugins and extensions and see if the problem goes

Guessing here... perhaps the problem is that there's no "A" record for 
"redfish-solutions.com"???

Even if there's no website, there needs to be an "A" record. Since it's a 
valid domain. I would guess they're trying to set up an email-only domain 
and some mail servers don't like that. Just leave the "parked" website up 
and running at your registrar and that might work. OTOH, you might still 
need to put up a generic "under construction" website to fool the spam-
checkers so that the A record and the MX record match.

I had EXACTLY the same problem. Not entirely sure which of the myriad of
things I tried fixed it, but it MIGHT have been removing wallpapoz.

try going to services and stopping wallpapoz, then as root doing "yum
remove wallpapoz".

My DVD printing experiences:

http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/dvdp/dvd-success.html

led me to the ImageableArea parameter in the .ppd file,
and while I was able to eventually get a DVD to print with no
clipping, I also found that whatever I did was a complete
accident, because the definition of what that parameter
is supposed to mean clearly has no relation to what it
actually means :-).

You could also take a look at this:

I did a clean install of F12 on a Dell Inspiron 700m laptop.  Other than the

Printer frustration

[Michael Wiktowy]

Greetings,

I have a printer (HP 3845) that magically installed as soon as I
plugged it in. This was great and it represented the end of my good
feelings towards CUPS/HPLIP.

CUPS seems to only have a driver that is close (HP 3840) that works
mostly. I was trying to print mailing labels using glabels and the
printer and thing required precise printing positioning. But the
printer was insisting on leaving about 1/2" (7/16" to be precise) at
the top of the page before it started printing. This is not only an
unprintable zone (which I expect from all printers and the Avery
sheets compensate for by leaving a dead zone at the top before the
labels) but an actual offset to the printing coordinates.
Unsurprisingly, the labels didn't line up with the proper Avery
template in glabels. Surprisingly there didn't seem to be *anywhere*
where a manual correction could be applied to bring the printing
coordinates back to the top edge of the page.

I ended up working around the issue but remaking the glabels template
with the manual offset needed but this isn't a ideal long term
solution. After searching around I haven't found an good answer online
on how to manually adjust this setting for all printing. I did find a
lot of people haveing the same issue with a lot of different printers.

Does anyone have a better solution than building a new PPD file from
scratch (something I have no idea how to do at the moment)? This seems
like it should be a simple task ...

Thanks,
/Mike

If you now have multiple drives, I have two suggestions.  First, NEVER
rely on "cable select" to determine which drive is which.  IMHO, whoever
came up with cable select should be drawn and quartered.  Jumper your
new drive as "master" and the old drive as "slave".  Your system should
now see the new drive as /dev/sda and the old drive as /dev/sdb.

Second, run "fdisk -l" as root to see the partitions on the drives.  If
you used LVM back then, you should also note that LVM also changed a
while ago from LVM-1 to LVM-2.  LVM-2 should be able to deal with LVM-1
volumes, but the volume group names may collide (VolGroup00 is/was used
by default by both old and new).  You may have to change the group name
on the old drive to get the system to deal with it.

That is a thought I suppose, but between 2 different distro's?  Sounds a

OTOH, that would be a nice idea as it would be the quickest, dirtiest way I 
could think of to get amanda rebuilt for 64 bit since it is always buil;t and 
installed from amanda's home dir.

Since no one has suggested a fix for the 64 bit F12 fedora being so slow, I 
have another 64 bit torrent running right now, to see if that one is 50x 
slower than this F10 32 bit install is now.

For a general outline, redhat is a good start.
http://www.redhat.com/certification/rhce/prep_guide/

It all depends on the intended result: are the students taking the courses as
a mere introduction to unix or is this part of a certificate/degree program?
I'd tweak the content according to that criteria.

There are concepts that are alien in the mind of new unix user such as the
command line, text editors like vim, mounting filesystems and remote
connections in a way other than instant messaging.

This site has some nice visual exercises.
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/

Do an eSearch (TM) on "introduction to unix linux" or other similar phrases.

Ideally I would identify a group of items as a group, so they could be

'funds') and the relationship might look different from each end. Simple

Actually, no it doesn't.  I can pretend to be a useful upstream and
eventually distributions will pick it up. I can also be a package
maintainer and purposefully push a trojan horse in an update. There are
many attack vectors. People who are signing the updates are not going to
be able to do detailed code reviews.

To gain student interest, on the first day give them a list of open source

Good to show them that the Linux will have applications and games as well as

chat, particularly multiuser, there's a lot of that around. Access twitter and 
some IM service, that's important to them, too.


Then show them open office and make sure they know it runs on Windows and Mac as 
well. Convince them that they would use it if they lear it, and they will damn

It does at least require the cooperation of an insider. To me, that
raises the bar quite a bit. But it is true that signing of packages does
not protect against someone with access to the signing key who is
working for nefarious purposes. Insider attacks (where the attack comes
from someone who is trusted) are always considerably more difficult to
defend against.

The other avenue of possible attack, we have already seen in that major
incident that nobody is talking about )-: where the bad guys actually
did apparently get access to the signing key (although the official
statement is that no malicious signed packages ever got out). That
resulted in the key being changed and all sorts of pain for every Fedora
user, so we all know about that one. But that sort of attack is
difficult to pull off undetected. An insider attack is much more likely
to result in wide distribution of a malicious package before it is
detected.

So, both mount iso9660 file-systems, and unlike other types of mounts,
iso9660 prints that ugly warning. You can run those mount -a ... lines
manually for testing. The work-around I've used is to mount them with
option _netdev added in fstab. That mounts iso9660 within the netfs service
script, which is not exactly right here, but good enough and an alternative
to doing it manually in rc.local


And that seems to provide a workaround, good trick.

Can't help, I run KVM from the command line, with scripts. My KVM usage predates 
libvirt by a good bit, and I have it all working and don't want to spend time

If you run my script you should be able to start a machine from cli and try the 
usb stuff. It's on my list for fc12 testing, but I'm very busy now and can't 
take on anything I can't do while my printer runs.

I think if you are trying to showcase linux systems as something your
students might want to use themselves at home or for a small business,
then I think you would be better off starting off at a different level.
If you first find out some things they might want to do, that would be
expensive or difficult to do using Windows, but inexpensive or easy
to using some linux distribution, then you can have something motivating
them to want to use it. If there are a couple of things that would be an
interest to most of the class, show them how to use that software.

Afterwards is when you want to show them how to get the software on their
computer. I don't think you want to teach multiple ways to do this. Pick
one distro that seems best suited to your students immediate needs and
help them build live images that they can take with them after the class
is over.

USB pen drives are relatively inexpensive these days ($20 for 8 GB) and
if the students left the class with ones that did what they wanted on
most computers you might keep them using linux. They don't need to give
up Windows and they don't need their own computer to mess with.

It wasn't just slow graphics Tim.  It was

However that might be a clue of sorts as it had to search and find my router 
to even get a network connection & use dhcp to get an ip address.  I have 
been using static hosts based addressing on the local net here for a decade, 
and its NOT on the 192.168.1 subnet.  But I didn't try to kill nm forever and 
reconfigure the networking for static as it would have taken several hours at 
the speed it was running.

One rogue package maintainer could do it easily.  In fact, if one
rogue upstream provided a tarball with a backdoor in it, it might slip
into many distributions before it was noticed.

There are source audits of the fedora packages, to check that the
tarballs which have been uploaded to our buildsystem match what
upstream has provided, but these checks aren't run on a daily basis.
And they wouldn't catch the problem of a tarball that was compromised
upstream.

The scary possibility is that it's probably easier than many people
think it is.

Precisely why I made the comment, the other day, about not getting
packages from personal websites, where nobody will have vetted them,
compared against the official sources, where they're *far* less likely
to be compromised.

Unless you stuff up your YUM configuration, it's preset to check the
signatures of packages.  So only officially signed package will be
installed.  It'll take quite some effort, not impossible, but very
difficult, to get a signed compromising package into the repos.

For Postfix in particular, try:

http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html

Turning on sender verification is dangerous, in that you WILL get false
positives due to things like misconfigured clients.  You would need to
add something that caused it to only try sender verification for
addresses within your own domain. That will help, but it wouldn't take
the spammers long to figure out some addresses within your domain that
are valid and would get past this check. 

What is really needed to absolutely put a stop to this sort of thing is
two SMTP servers. One is used by your users who authenticate first and
then have a relatively filter-free server after that. The other can then
implement more strict access restrictions such as blocking anything that
claims to come from your own domain that is coming in from something not
in $mynetworks.

But this forum is a bit too general for detailed Postfix tutorials. You
will be better off asking on the Postfix list and checking the Postfix
web site where the real Postfix experts live. Proper spam filtering is
hard to get right.

It protests about the file type[?]. Perhaps lvm requires a
different type?


You cannot directly mount an LVM2 physical volume. The idea of the 
volume manager is that it abstracts storage using a layered model:


Physical volumes - actual disks/storage devices
Volume groups - collections of related disks that are managed together
Logical volumes - virtual "partitions" carved out of the disks in the VG

The PV is a container for the LVs that exist in the volume group.

You need to activate any LVs that it contains using the commands in my 
earlier mail before you can mount them.


LVs then behave a lot like regular partitions but with more flexibility; 
they can be resized on the fly, mirrored, snapshotted, migrated to new 
storage etc all without interruption to services.


When you activate an LV or a VG you will get new entries in the /dev 
directory in a subdirectory named after the volume group. E.g. my VG in 
the examples I gave was named "system" and it contains a half-dozen or 
so LVs:


# ls /dev/system/
home  root  swap0  tmp  usr  var
[r...@p380-1 ~]# vgs
  VG #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree
  system   1  11   0 wz--n- 231.66G 88.81G
[r...@p380-1 ~]# lvs

  homesystem -wi-ao 100.00G
  rootsystem -wi-ao  21.03G
  swap0   system -wi-ao   8.00G
  tmp system -wi-a-   1.00G
  usr system -wi-a-   8.00G
  var system -wi-ao   4.00G

E.g. to mount the tmp logical volume (assuming it's active and not 
already mounted), I would run:


mount /dev/system/tmp /tmp

There is a yum repo, just not part of the official Fedora distro. The
Adobe site tells you how to set it up.

Pointless IMHO. Configure the yum repo and forget it.

So run it with the filesystem unmounted. The usual way to do this is by
booting in single-user mode. If it's the root filesystem that's dodgy,
boot from a rescue disk to check it (you can do this anyway of course).

This is a posibility here with older releases (although F12 doesn't do

If that's the case then the easiest way to deal with it is to use the 
vgimportclone script distributed with recent versions of LVM2.



'mount' an LVM from one computer on another computer and they have the
same name, it's an issue. You probably have to rename the Group and
maybe the Volume so that it is distinctively different from what is
already mounted to avoid confusion before you can mount the second hard
drive LVM partitions.


New name & new UUID, although the script I mentioned will do all of this 
automatically.

The spammer propably will have sent the spam to million people (your
address is just one of those), using your address as sender but sending
it from various bot neted computers. In this case you will get all the

But although installation completed OK, I was not able to get it to
boot.

The first time I left the EFI System partition intact on /dev/sda1,
and accepted the default of installing the boot loading on /dev/sda2
(my /boot partition).

The result was a light grey screen appeared, and after a while a
darker-grey folder icon appeared in the centre, with a flashing
question mark. I assumed it couldn't find the O/S or boot loader.

I tried again, this time I deleted the EFI System partition and
installed /boot on /dev/sda1. I installed the boot loader onto
/dev/sda.

Same result.

So I resorted to re-installing Mac OSX, so as to have a usable
machine.

Does anyone know how to get F12 to boot from the macbook Air, without
resorting to Boot Camp (I can't afford the disk space to have both Mac
OSX and linux installed)?

I recommend using 32 bit with nspluginwrapper (install i686+x86_64).  You

I am clueless how someone outside $mynetworks was able to do it.



Looking at your log file I don't think someone was able to hack your
mail account.  A spam network picked up your domain name which they 
got to know e.g. by your web site (it is useful for them because they

know that domain really exists and it is unsuspicious in terms of spam).
They invented a user because they don't know your real users. This
address ist used to bypass basic spam filters (e.g. sender domain must
exist).

They will continue to use it for some time and then pick up another.


Peter 


Thank you for the reply.

I was looking over the conf files and can't find how to disable a 
non-user from sending mail through my system. I thought I had it tight.


I am just glad the spammer sent the mail to me and not a million people.

In the future, can you tell people to search for existing bugs in
bugzilla _before_ they file bugs please. I spend at least an hour of

duplicates. It's got 10x worse since abrt started spamming my inbox,

You don't have to use nspluginwrapper as there are 64bit flash plugins
available now.  Just download it from adobe and stick it in the dir you
mentioned above and your all set.


Side Note: If your gonna use the newly created beta (10.1?) then you
would have to use nspluginwrapper as there is only 32 bit available.

install them all or ones you think are needed and see if the problem

I had that problem because  some kanji or kohni font or what ever it was

I let it install and the problem hasn't recurred.

The only thing I've seen actually working with receiving webcams, is

Well, according to my quick test, using the "dig" tool, that domain
doesn't exist.  Though, a whois check shows that it does.  So, somewhere
there's a problem with your public domain records.  The dig tool might
help you sort out where (you can query different DNS servers with it).

 dig redfish-solutions.com
gets no answer

But this does:
 dig redfish-solutions.com MX

The BIOS will be used to read the drive to begin booting a system, but
Linux uses its own drivers post-boot.  So the problem would be
elsewhere.

Very slow graphics smacks of other issues:  Video drivers, or even
networking (name resolution, chiefly).

Request for Input on Creating Linux Courses...

[Michael D. Setzer II]

Finally got the go ahead to create two Linux courses to our College program.
Have included Linux in my lab since Redhat 9 thru the current Fedora 12, but 
have just been able to show students little bits of it from time to time, since 
the program is geared to mostly windows and some courses using AS/400 
mini system. 

The Ideal is to over a beginning Linux course, and an second level course as 
a start. In the networking class, I have one 4 hour section where the students 
go thru the installation of various Linux OS's,  and they can use the Fedora, 
but many students still stay with windows.

Was wondering if people on the list might have some knowledge of material 
that would best meet the needs of a community college program. 

Last year I did work with 3 students on a Special project involving my G4L 
disk imaging project, and it was interesting, but very focused.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The Ideal is to have it ready 
for Fall 2010.

Thanks.

Re: alter from hda to sda

Simply substitute sda for hda, and that's all that should be needed.
Unless you have more than one drive, and they've been ordered
differently, and that may cause what used to be hda to be sdb...

As root, this command will list partitions on your system:  fdisk -l

That sounds a different problem.  Perhaps you're trying to mount the
wrong partition, or it got corrupted.  But without showing us the actual
log of events, we can only guess.

You could try mounting things manually in the command line, and showing
us a cut and paste of it.  You could show us the tail
of /var/log/messages when you try to mount it.

> F11 then said I didn't have any user's.

You'll have to recreate the users.  It's not the contents of the /home
partition that defines the users on the system, that just holds their
files.  There's files in the /etc directory that control who's a user.

You'll want the new users to have the same ID numbers as the old users,
or you'll have to chown all their files to the new user ID.

Looking at your log file I don't think someone was able to hack your
mail account.  A spam network picked up your domain name which they 
got to know e.g. by your web site (it is useful for them because they
know that domain really exists and it is unsuspicious in terms of spam).
They invented a user because they don't know your real users. This
address ist used to bypass basic spam filters (e.g. sender domain must
exist).

They will continue to use it for some time and then pick up another.
