Re: SELinux security alert
I am not very knowledgeable about selinux, but I will see what I can do. vinny wrote: [find has a permissive type (prelink_cron_system_t). This access was not denied.] The section in [] brackets says that since the command has a permissive type, the access was not denied; in other words the command ran without being hindered by selinux, so you can read the security message as a warning. SELinux denied access requested by find. /var/lib/misc/prelink.full may be a mislabeled. /var/lib/misc/prelink.full default SELinux type is prelink_var_lib_t, but its current type is cron_var_lib_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem. This means that /var/lib/misc/prelink.full has the wrong file context (to check context: ls -Z filename). Selinux should have blocked access, but the context is permissive, so it didn't (refer to the section at the very beginning in the [] brackets). You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the restorecon command. /sbin/restorecon '/var/lib/misc/prelink.full' If this error message bothers you, even though selinux tells you that it didn't prevent the command from executing, you have the option to restore the context of the file using this command: sudo /sbin/restorecon -v '/var/lib/misc/prelink.full' -v means verbose, so you will see if a change was made to the context. Sometimes files will get the wrong context each time you reboot, so you might have to keep on doing this every time you reboot, or wait for an update that fixes the default context. If you want to know which rpm package creates or supplies this file: yum provides */prelink.full or yum provides /var/lib/misc/prelink.full I don't know what kind of file prelink.full is, but if it comes from an installed rpm package from the fedora repositories, you could file a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com. If you created the file or edited the file, then you must restore the context.

USB Keyboard Amok?
Hardware: Logitech USB Keyboard Asus Motherboard Problem: Approximately every 100th cold boot/system restart, the BIOS message, as it is displaying memory, hard drives, etc., is all scrambled, even in colour, and the beep that normally occurs at boot becomes a single long ring that never stops, and the system hangs, unresponsive to any input. Solution: To remedy this, one must unplug the computer, wait until the LED on the motherboard extinguishes, remove the battery from the motherboard, plug in a spare PS/2 keyboard, put the battery and power cable back in, and reboot. Then, the BIOS settings must all be set from scratch, as they are totally awry - no, not the defaults! If one does not use a PS/2 keyboard, no keyboard entry is possible. If one does not remove the battery, then some mysterious BIOS supervisor password will be set that cannot be circumvented (I don't use a BIOS supervisor password). After having performed all of these steps, the system works perfectly, like before, until about the 100th time (wild guess - a long time - but often the problem occurs 2 or 3 times in a row, then not at all for weeks). Curiously, the same problem existed with a previous Asus motherboard (same USB keyboard, which works perfectly, as far I am able to determine from regular, daily use). Is this an Asus problem, since 2 Asus motherboards are affected (I upgraded the BIOS, but there have not been any new upgrades available for 18 months), a USB keyboard problem (the problem occured on the older motherboard while kbd, not evdev, was in use), or something altogether different?

Puzzling over NFS4

I think this is the bug I reported on both bugzilla.redhat and bugs.kde. I have never tested with gnome or compiz, only with kde using opengl and xrender. It happens both times and I have Intel graphics on both computers. In my case, I get the too many open files in system message on one of the consoles when this happens.

Nevertheless, I will not give up on Intel and do not intend to migrate (regress) back to a vendor that doesn't provide open drivers. I can live without desktop Effects for a while until this gets cleared up (admittedly, it has been a year already that I have monitored the problem, and progress is slow, but the problem has evolved slightly, as formerly not even the mouse and keyboard worked, but since about the fall, it is no longer necessary to pull the plug on the computer to reboot). -- 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
