I used downloadonly for yum to get the 389 packages and reinstalled them. It didn’t overwrite files that were there but somehow none of the .jar files in /usr/share/dirsrv/html/java were present.

Re: Gnome-Shell
Regarding Alans comment about gnome-shell falling back on 2048 pixel wide displays, I had the same thing with gnome-shell on an nvidia card using the nouveau drivers. So, I guess this might not be specific to i9xx displays. In my case, one symptom was that these errors appeared in Xorg.0.log --- (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable --- even though the card is DRI capable. I believe this blog entry has the reason: https://jeremy.visser.name/2009/10/no-dri-on-x-org-with-a-radeon-check-your-virtual-size/ Quoting from that page: Because of various technical reasons, when the Virtual size is too big (which, evidently, 2048×2048 is), DRI gets disabled I started seeing this error after I upgraded to a new nvidia card with more memory. After the upgrade my default Virtual size went to about 8000x8000 and gnome-shell would only run in fallback mode. Strangely, the problem went away when I switched to the closed source nvidia drivers, and gnome-shell works great.

If x.org runs, and gives 3D capability, that's all that gnome-shell cares about. Actually it does seem to care in a few cases. On FC15 it would unilaterally decide to do fallback on 2048 pixel wide Intel i9xx displays. I assume this was because the X driver had some 3D bugs in that case. So it's a bit smarter rule and policy wise than you give it credit for. It should certainly be working in FC15 even for most Intel configs, and in FC16 it works on a Radeon HD2450 although it's got a few small bugs now and then.

If you have too much data or configuration, there are tools to resize partitions, but you should backup your data first, because it could fail and you can lost all your data.

You claim to have people targeting you.. and considering what you say and claim it wouldn't surprise me. But anyhow, that's not what I am here to discuss :-). So, first things first.

The safest and quickest way to remove one of these on a home computer is to just wipe the OS (They can be removed manually, but that takes a bit more skill..) - Install the very latest version of Fedora (16), (if using Fedora, I'm assuming you are as your on a Fedora list) Ensure when setting up your system you do not use the same password twice, or the same password you use anywhere else. Each password should be unique and should consist of Upper and Lower case letters, Numbers and Symbols (For example: MyPa55W0rd20122011). Once you've got your new shiny OS installed, immediately run yum update as root. Make sure all packages are downloaded and installed. The Next step is to find out exactly what you will and won't be using. Obviously, you will need a GUI if this is a home computer so use yum to install a desktop environment such as GNOME or XFCE or KDE etc, depending on your preferences. Personally I prefer XFCE. Remove all software which you do not use at all. (You may want to research things before removing them) Now you should set up your firewall (through a GUI if you prefer) ensure you have no open ports which you do not use. So in Fedora's case open up system-config-firewall. The first screen you will see probably has a load of checkboxes next to various service names. You will probably want to untick if unused the following: - SSH (I will explain later how to make one of these a bit more secure.) - FTP - HTTP and any others of which you do not recognise. Switch to Other Ports ensure this is blank and empty, or if needed open any ports not listed on previous page which you _NEED_. Go to trusted interfaces. Also mostly should pretty much be all unticked unless otherwise required. Switch to ICMP Filter, and tick the following: - Echo Reply Now click apply (You'll be amazed how many people forget to click apply and just close the firewall settings..) Okay cool, so that's your firewall sorted (For now) Let's move onto securing services, and disabling one's you do not use. For example, you said you have no idea what SSH is, if I remember correctly this is enabled by default. If you do not use it disable it: systemctl disable sshd.service Do the same for other unused services (Be very careful with this though...) Just as a safecheck ensure you do have your firewall enabled: systemctl enable iptables.service and systemctl enable ip6tables.service Now lets talk system logs. System logs are a great way to detect odd behaviour on your machine. Most machines report these by default with logwatch so no setup necessary though a quick yum install logwatch wouldn't hurt to be sure it's actually installed. These logs are mailed to the root user (in my case..) at 3am. And generally speaking while this is a safe place for them to go, it's not the best of choices to be logging in as root in any case other than to do administrative tasks. So what do you do? Simple! you get them forwarded to your normal user account. To do this: nano /etc/aliases Go right to the bottom and find/add: # Person who should get root's mail root: YourUsername Press Ctrl + X to exit and save. This change won't take affect until you run the following command: newaliases Cool! Now your user account will begin receiving all of roots mail..

Then further, from a trusted computer (hey, how do you bootstrap this :) ), you build a local repo of the fedora updates so you don't need to be exposed to internet access during the 'yum update' process. This second step might be hard. Linux install is NOT as bad as say XP install where you can get owned DURING the install if you are connected (I have see lab tests where 2 min into the XP install the system was owned). Ensure when setting up your system you do not use the same password twice, or the same password you use anywhere else. Each password should be unique and should consist of Upper and Lower case letters, Numbers and Symbols (For example: MyPa55W0rd20122011). I am quite contrary on passwords and password strengths. Also changing GOOD passwords.

If you are like me, you have a local firewall that you can trust, but at times you are out in the public, exposed to all sorts of attacks. First configure your local firewall so that all inbound ports are closed and only open those that you have evidence that you need (what local servers ARE you running? Are you using VoIP?). Security is all about belts and suspendors (multiple layers of protection). Now you should set up your firewall (through a GUI if you prefer) ensure you have no open ports which you do not use.

2 Thunderbird problems. Filters and S-L-O-W downloading.
Yesterday I migrated my email activities from Evolution to Thunderbird after my Evolution setup had been non operational for 4 months. Painful. Fortunately, I use gmail as my mail server, so I accessed my several email accounts via a web browser. Painful, but it worked. Thunderbird is working OK, but I have 2 issues. 1. It is taking forever to download the emails from one of my gmail accounts. When I Get Mail on that account, it comes back saying a handful (8 to 20) emails are ready to download, downloads them and then stops. If you check again, it gets another handful and stops. And again and again. I have several thousand emails to download from that account. Why Thunderbird getting 200 emails at a time ? Is this a gmail problem or a Thunderbird problem ? 2. I sort all my emails into local folders using filters. I have created a half dozen filters, just like I would in Evolution, but they don't seem to run. When I go Tools- Message Filters- Run Now, nothing happens. I have FiltaQuilla installed. Any and all help on these issues will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you guys,

That's precisely what Fedora is. That doesn't mean its not fairly
robust, but it is a far cry from RHEL and derivatives.
Maybe I will try Scientific Linux 6.2 (when released) and Debian testing
and see what's good for me.
I've heard good things about Scientific Linux, as opposed to CentOS,
though the CentOS devs seem to be getting it together again recently.
The CentOS community is its biggest drawback, not its dev community. As
far as SL goes, the upgrade path is all rolling-release within a major
version, so there is no practical advantage in waiting for 6.1 vs
6.2, as moving to 6.2 involves a yum update and maybe a yum upgrade if
you have some unique things going on in your system. Regardless, SL is a
great dev platform and it has the enormous benefit that anything you
write that works well on it can be effortlessly deployed/sold to people
running RHEL.
Of course, this discussion of platform sort of glosses over the general
unsuitability of Java for ${*\ }purpose.

So not being a security professional is not necessarily a bad thing here! I have simply done passwords like how I have shown in my example above for years, so it is how I advise them :-). But the attack vectors have changed. Cloud computing has put real cracking ability in the hands of everyday hackers. I authored the original paper on attacking WiFi WPA-PSK passwords. I did that becuase vendors were not putting ANY constraints on passwords, and you could enter a 4 digit pin with the first release of WPA products. My paper caused a bit of consternation and DID get password minimums set to 8 characters. Good enough back in '03. Now the attack is very easy with cloud computing. I recommend that everyone look at SAE for WiFi security. It is part of 802.11s, but can be used for general AP-STA security. It is already implemented the OpenAP code. SAE (by my colleague Dan Harkins of Aruba) has NO offline attack and a active attack only gets one guess per try. SAE is of the class of 'zero-based knowledge' password methods. Anyway enough of a digression, just my point that attacks change over time and what was considered 'good enough' 5 years ago is no longer good at all. Passphrases have ALWAYS been recognized as stronger than passwords, and easier to remember. The problem in using them is that many systems would just truncate long passphrases or put strong limits on size of entry. For some time UNIX login was so limited, for example. I use a couple different styles of passphrases myself.

Re: RE: F14 login fails on backup copy; gdm error? From: Joe Zeffj...@zeff.us To: users@lists.fedoraproject.org Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. What evidence do you have that strangers have targeted your machine and repeatedly trashed it? The evidence is in this 5-inch stake of evidence, and in this box beside the tower.. which proves that they destroyed a lot of my property, and proves that psychotic-humans destroyed their greatest scientist yet... What have you done to make your computer either an easier or harder target? Everything I could understand, in the many Linux forums... Okay.. Let's talk security :-). Right so before I get started I would like to say: If you are serious about making your machine secure, you will have to learn a thing or two about security. Reason being: a machine is only as secure as you make it. (Regardless of OS) In this mail I will try to give you some basic security tips which should get you a bit more secure than you appear to be now. From my own personal experience. You claim to have people targeting you.. and considering what you say and claim it wouldn't surprise me. But anyhow, that's not what I am here to discuss :-). So, first things first. If your machine has recently been targeted and trashed, reinstall the OS. Chances are, if they got in once, they probably left them selves a nice easy backdoor (rootkit even). The safest and quickest way to remove one of these on a home computer is to just wipe the OS (They can be removed manually, but that takes a bit more skill..) - Install the very latest version of Fedora (16), (if using Fedora, I'm assuming you are as your on a Fedora list) If you are truly paranoid, you will NOT have your computer connected to the network during the install from a DVD. Then further, from a trusted computer (hey, how do you bootstrap this :) ), you build a local repo of the fedora updates so you don't need to be exposed to internet access during the 'yum update' process. This second step might be hard. Linux install is NOT as bad as say XP install where you can get owned DURING the install if you are connected (I have see lab tests where 2 min into the XP install the system was owned). That's all well and good, but there is one problem with that. How do you explain to a average user who may not know exactly what they are doing to do all of that? For an average paranoid user not behind a locked down gateway firewall, I would recommend install without network connectivity from the full DVD. Then to shutdown services as you showed later, and THEN connect and get the updates. Or even say just do yum update kern* first, reboot, then yum update in case there are real problems in the original kernel. This would be simple enough for the average user, IMNSHO. Ensure when setting up your system you do not use the same password twice, or the same password you use anywhere else. Each password should be unique and should consist of Upper and Lower case letters, Numbers and Symbols (For example: MyPa55W0rd20122011). I am quite contrary on passwords and password strengths. Also changing GOOD passwords. For a semi comical look at the password problem see: http://xkcd.com/936/ For a good analysis of the problem with passwords see: http://www.cryptosmith.com/password-sanity Richard has a very good book on Authentication that I once taught a class from... That said, a string of words can be easy to type in and easy to remember. However, there are programs out there like VNC that ONLY use the first 8 characters in the password and ignore the rest! VNC? Probably not the most secure method of remotely controlling a machine I would say. An example of a current service that is locked into the 8 character password mindset. I do use VNC, but over SSH. As for password strengths, I've always done it the way of my example so I simply still advise that. If I'm wrong I'll fully admit to being wrong. :-). Not wrong, as behind the attack path. But if the service does limit password length, passphrases are a problem. Smith on his site has a good 18 character password with ~42 bits of entropy. Once you've got your new shiny OS installed, immediately run yum update as root. Make sure all packages are downloaded and installed. The Next step

OT? Guest machine on VirtualBox-4.1 BOOTMGR is compressed.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi friends, Sorry for the inconvenient, if this is the wrong list but, I was in paradise. Than...wellcome to jungle. No way out. I updated from Fedora14-x86_64 to Fedora16-x86_64 host, and I thought VirtualBox-4.0 was ok. When I started Winvista64 Guest I got the message: BOOTMGR is compressed Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart I did it, and the Winvista64 boot started again and stoped at the same point. In a loop. I thought that the problem was VirtualBox for Fedora14. I removed it. So I installed Virtualbox-4.1-4.1.6 for Fedora16-x86_64. The same thing is happening. Why bootmgr has changed? Anybody helps? The guest machine was working untouched in a Production more than a year. I only updated from Fedora14 to Fedora16. I'm convinced that the problem is on WinVista, but I hate M$ jungle. Help. I got from VirtualBox forum: we don't really support (fully) the distro branches of VirtualBox. How, if possible, to get help from our friends that made the package VirtualBox-4.1.x86_64?

I tried both suggestions, singly, and both together though I didn't
think the forward slash in lieu of netmask was right. (I have another
subnet declaration just above the one it's complaining about that uses
netmask, not a /, and it doesn't gripe about that one, and that's
the way it's written in the sample dhcpd.conf file that is buried down
in the dhcpd doc folder in /usr/share/doc/dhcp-4.2.3).
Nothing worked. It's so strange...

Where does the new evolution keep them ?
The default for local mail is maildirs. It used to be mboxes. You don't
say what version of Evolution you're using. Earlier versions had some
maildir support but it may have been buggy.
One suggestion - never ever use local storage with any mail client.
I recommend setting up a local imap server (dovecot works well) and
use that for -all- local storage for your mail. This is a really easy
thing to do.
Once you do that, then you are now mail client independent - and can
switch clients without any issues about how mail is stored.
Just as a warning
Experience suggests some mail clients can build a nested folder structure
with contents in the branch nodes as well as the end nodes and some cannot.
That suggests a structure such as I keep:
===8---
...
Linux Full of this list's mail
Savers Contains items worth saving including subscription emails.
...
===8---
At least one client I tried to use with IMAP (as part of spamassassin
training) would not deal with that folder nesting. Linux would have
only been a node name not a mailbox of its own.
The suggestion to use Dovecot to serve it up has merit. Once the old
stuff is pulled into T'bird and safely stowed dovecot can be switched
over to mbox easily enough. That makes my habit of backing up email
easy. I leave mail on the server. Each month I archive the T'bird mail
and the mail spool. That makes it easy to filter the email with
fetchmail to grab the email, procmail to prefilter it and feed it to
spamassassin, spamc to feed it back to procmail which delivers it to
the spool. That way when I am reading email I don't have to sit around
while SpamAssassin filters the email as Thunderbird fetches it. Dovecot
sits on the mail spool and responds quite properly, quickly, and accurately
to T'bird's requests.

However, considering the differences between the two environments, especially the differences in how security is implemented, would malware designed for Windows be able to do any damage on a Linux system? Malware usually has to be finely tuned to the host environment, e.g. mess with Windows Registry (Linux doesn't have one as such), install a boot sector (needs root), override the user's PATH (won't affect anything outside the executable and its children) etc. Altering the user's environment requires knowledge of where the files are and what's in them, and this is completely different on Linux and Windows. Of course a Trojan could be designed to do all of these, but you're basically in the same position as anyone running a downloaded executable that hasn't been certified by someone you trust.

The Curse of the Mad Power-Saver
This is F16 fully updated, under KDE (ditto). For no readily apparent reason my monitor goes black, and shortly thereafter enters power-saving mode. Looks like a screensaver, right? However: It only happens under KDE. It doesn't happen in every session, just sometimes. When it happens, the timeout before blanking the monitor is on the order of 2 to 3 seconds, making it impossible to use the system without constantly jiggling the mouse. KDE Settings (unchanged since F15 and earlier, when this problem did not exist) have the screensaver OFF. Also the Power-save profile is set to Performance with timers unset. The machine is an always on desktop (Intel Mobo, Intel graphics). The monitor is a Flatron W2243S.

Replace libreoffice with openoffice rpms
I have had a problem with libreoffice properly rendering graphics in documents (vertical and hoizontal lines do not display). Never had this problem with OO.org in =f14. Therefore I removed libreoffice and installed OO from rpms from OO.org site. I am now able to read the documents OK. However, after a while an update for package libreoffice-ure appears that won't install. It conflicts with openoffice.org-ure for reasons that are beyond me. This is with Libreoffice completely removed. I tried reinstalling libreoffice but it requires that OO be removed. I then removed OO and re-installed libreoffice and tried to re-install OO and it indicates conflicts regarding the operoffice.org-ure package also. So OO.org and libreOffice can't coexist. Therefore, I need to go back to just OO.org. Is there a way to cause f16 to not try to update libreoffice-ure when libreO is removed and replaced with OO? -gene -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Won't boot. udevd: worker not accepting message.
I get hundreds of the following error when I boot any one of the
kernels on my F16 computer.
udevd[983]: worker [] did not accept mesage -1 (Connection
refused), kill it.
I also see
udevd[1215] error opening
ATTR{/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1a.0/usb3/3-1:1.0/power level}
for writing: No such file or directory.
When I log into maintenance mode, everything looks fine. Boot.log is
clean. Xorg.0.log is clean. Drives mount properly and I can browse
them, no problem.
It appears that ubuntu had this problem a while back.
