Re: [Mageia-dev] unable to mount encrypted partitions created with drakdisk

But the /home partition created with mandriva drakdisk can be mounted with those 2 applications, so seams that Mageia drakdisk isnt doing something right. That's likely a result of https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3092 With the default settings, cryptsetup uses cbc mode encryption, which makes it much more likely that it can be cracked. See http://clemens.endorphin.org/nmihde/nmihde-A4-os.pdf for an explanation of how this is done. In Mageia's diskdrake, the setting is overridden to use xts mode, instead of cbc mode. If you prefer to use the less secure method, in order to keep it compatible with the windows applications, you'll have to re-encrypt it manually with cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sd??. Don't forget to backup the data first, as this will erase that device. Regards, Dave Hodgins Thanks for the clarification, and was a very good improvement :) But i think it would be better to have in diskdrake some option allowing the user to choose the cypher, since the default cypher used in cryptsetup and in other apps that support luks, is cbc, and this way diskdrake is putting it incompatible with remaning apps that support luks. This way the user could be informed about whats happening and also would have a choice, that would be great and would in fact increase diskdrake popularity.

As I was told, I place here 2 reasons I believe it shall be pushed: - it supports memcached protocol, so faster postfix - it has a new tolerance for backend, for example, if mysql backend fails in 2.8 postfix will refuse all emails at instant of outstage, but in 2.9 it has tolerance so it will accept emails for a while, this will give tolerance if link to backent fails and returns.

was not possible due to missing texlive features.

see that texlive packaging is rather different in Mageia, but see the

I still didnt look into the mageia wpa_supplicant spec but if you build it without issues its because you have not set to build doc files, and thats form where the problem comes. If you want to build docs you just need to enter in directory doc/docbook and run make.

However I've made quite some progress at fixing the issues (and am still working on it). Will provide a new release by Friday.
Re: [Mageia-dev] cgroup on the desktop
'Twas brillig, and Robert Fox at 20/03/12 08:13 did gyre and gimble: Tried to research it, but it look more like it is for servers than desktop. Could someone explain what the value-add is of using this on the desktop? As used in the context of systemd just a general mechanism for tracking processes. In the olden days, a service could exec other binaries quite happily. Killing the primary pid of the service meant that any other binaries launched were not necessarily killed. This mean that the service needed to implement it's own accounting and tracking system and there was no way to properly track to what service a given processes belongs. Now with cgroups, it's possible to fully track all the processes started by a given service and kill each of them properly when stopping the service. In addition it's also possible to identify to which service a given process belongs. e.g. if something is spinning out of control you can see it in top and then trace it back to the service itself. There are numerous other things that can be done with cgroups such as imposing various limits on a given service (and any subsequent processes it spawns). Overall this is an accounting mechanism that is something very much baked into systemd. It's an integral part of it. It's not something we could simply turn off on desktops vs. servers. However, this isn't really the right place to discuss this topic.

This way we always use the same method to convert PDF to PostScript in the whole system, including any workarounds applied in the CUPS filter. Confirmed that it builds and installs fine locally.

[Mageia-dev] installing minimal is not really that minimal
i did a network install and choose 'custom', then deselected everything, pressed next i got to the next menu of installation and left these to default: - no X - no suggestions - basic doc still on - truly minimal was off but, i ended up with x libraries, fonts, etc... so i dug a bit deeper as to why and looked at the ddebug.log file: afaict dracut seems to require plymouth, and mageia-gfxboot-theme seems to be there no matter what option i choose from the summary, it seems it was already installed before the summary. thing is, without a full kickstart (which i don't want to, i'd like to keep doing partitioning manually, but kickstart seems not to do the interactive requests), i can't really make a minimal system to begin with... for this release, if at all possible, i'd still like to get a bit smaller for minimal setups, and like to present a nongraphic grub by default when X is unselected, and also have no need for gfxboot or plymouth when i don't have a graphic grub (even though this isn't the same) furthermore, if i'm installing without X the default runlevel target seems to still be the graphic one, and not the multi-user one... perhaps it's possible to have this as alternatives or something? which could be set by the CAT_X thingie? one installing one package and the other installing the other package?

Guillaume Rousse wrote: Le 17/03/2012 03:22, Anssi Hannula a écrit : Hence I suggest a single user id to be used. (I'm fine with any other solution which works as well) My main concern is the fuzziness of the current situation where we have - one virtual package 'webserver' corresponding to four implementations (apache, lightpd, nginx, cherooke) - one common base (webserver-base) only used by the two first ones - all our web applications packages using 'apache' as mandatory dependency If the main concern is file ownership, I'd propose for the next release to have each of these servers use a distinct uid, document root and index page, but use a shared 'webserver' or 'www' gid, and ensure all of those applications use group-based permission, instead of user-based. I'd find this setup a bit clearer. I also noticed two of the php subpackages adding the apache user in %post. Should they be doing this, should they Requires(post): webserver-base, or should this be handled some other way?

Looking through the code, I can usually figure out what it's doing, I was able to create the patch that simply added the --cipher option to the existing code in diskdrake, but altering the dialog to add selection of which cipher to use, would probably take me a very long time. You should probably open an enhancement bug report, requesting the change, that can then be assigned to the diskdrake maintainer.
