This is most likely it.  The last update on Fedora caught me on the hop
because it disabled non-secure protocols by default and I hadn't moved one
of the clients over to an encrypted connection.  If Centos has pushed the
same update, you'll need to either use IMAPS or add an address = * line
to the inet_listener imap section in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf

 It's up to you to draw your conclusions.

 Some people consider this agreement to be the dawn of mankind, SUSE
 betraying/threatening the freedoms of Linux and SUSE having contracted
 with the devils of the 'evil empire'.

 To other people (apparently SUSE itself) it's a valuable feature and
 valuable advantage SUSE Linux has over its competitors.

 To most end-users, this contract is not of much practical importance, but is
 more a political thing.

Yes but I have started the torrent download of -- Fedora and Ubuntu
(LTS) for this time, after the completion would definitely start for
11.4 openSUSE too and would see from the LIVE CDs which suit me the
most, which I assume either Fedora or Ubuntu, but without actually
practically seeing I really cannot comments. Thanks to the developers
that they created the use of Live CDs without which it seems a more
typical kind or thing to judge a distro.

microphone mystery

2011-12-21 Thread François Patte
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Bonjour,

I have strange problem with my integrated microphone on my laptop (dell
latitude, E6400).

1- This microphone did not work out of the box; after googling for a
while, I added a
/etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf file with this line:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1

2- The microphone doesn't work at boot time. If I open
appssoundvideopavu, I can see that the microphne exists (it is an
enhancement!) but I cannot do anything to have it working.

3- If I open skype and call the call test service a small microphone
appears in the notification area an I can use a slide to tune the input
volume (it is still an enhancement!) but the microphone does not work!

4- If I open audacity, and press the record button hurrah! the
microphone works, and works also with other apps (skype, ekiga)
until I reboot the machine.


Let us summarize: To have my mic working, proper tools for configuration
(pavu control...)  are useless, I have to use an apps which is not done
for this!

How can I configure my mic to work as soon as I log in?

Thanks for helping.

As the great Yogi Berra once said "This is like deja vu all over

Nearly the exact same question came up very recently on this

Even all of the responses seem nearly the same.  Not only that, the

has come up recently.  They can also search the archives.  This can
save them, and others a whole lot of time rather than going over the
same thingespecially things that are very much slanted towards
opinion.

 Yep.  You can shut it up though, by silencing dbus completely.
 
 To do so, run cp /lib/systemd/system/dbus.service

Thanks for the info.
But is there any simple way of stopping upowerd?
I tested yum-removing it, but this would have taken

unmount external hdd in f14

2011-12-21 Thread François Patte
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Bonjour,

When I plug in an external hdd in my f14 box, I have an icon on my desk.
If I right click on this icon, I can only see safely remove the disk,
I cannot unmount it as it was previously (f12, f10) possible.

The problem is that using the safely remove way often crashes the
session and nothing appears in the log, while using unmounting each
partition on the hdd does not crashes the session, as I could test it,
unmounting these hdd partitions by hand (umount /dev/sdb1, etc...)

I found many threads on the internet about the bad behavior of safely
remove but I did not find any solution to it

Is there another soltion than to look in mtab, umount by hand the
partitions and then unplug the hdd?

Thanks for any help.

 1 - Asking Fedora list for CentOS server software is off-topic and
 potentially useless

I should have said that the imap client I was using was a Fedora-16 laptop.
But I should have asked the question on the CentOS list, as you suggest;
though I must admit one is more likely to get an answer here,
even if the question is not strictly relevant.

 2 - Chances are that logs are going to /var/log/maillog

That did indeed give the solution.
Thank you.
For some reason the error messages from dovecot now go to /var/log/maillog ,
while the old version set up a directory /var/log/dovecot .

It turned out the problem was to do with the certificate I was using.
 
 3 - Was there an actual question somewhere?

I did actually end with the words Any advice or elucidation
gratefully received, which while technically not a question
is an implicit request for a response.

Well,

a) such deals are not uncommon in the commercial world. It's only that 
SUSE uses this deal for marketing purposes, while there probably exist 
similar deals, the public simply never will know about.


b) whom to consider the devil is (mostly) a religous matter.

Back to OP's original question:

To absolute beginners, from a mere usability POV, I in first place 
recommend Ubuntu, then openSUSE, then (with larger gap inbetween) 
followed by Fedora, ... Debian on last place.


If freedom of software is your highest aim, then Debian should be 
your first choice, followed by Fedora, then a gap, then openSUSE, 
followed by Ubuntu on last place.


From a mere technical standpoint, Fedora, Ubuntu and openSUSE all are 
on comparable levels and stages of development.

Yes, indeed times are changing.  I hear that Microsoft's attitude towards the 
cancer, which was/is linux, now they are contributing to the linux kernel 
because they were caught using GPL code and now they have to give back :)  

Still take for example the Android platform which is Linux/GNU/Linux.  For

phone has M$ software on it or not.  M$ does not lose, it will find a way to

Yes, it is a good idea to try more than one distro to see which is
better suited for you.  But I haven't seen anybody mention the other
important thing:  See what technical support you can get for each, and
which you prefer out of that.

e.g. I find this mailing list very good.  I haven't thought much of the
Ubuntu forums, back when I was looking at it.

If you can't use the distro all by yourself, and need help, you want it
to be useful to you.

 There are a lot of answers, I could provide, if I wanted, but I am not

 Back to OP's original question:

 To absolute beginners, from a mere usability POV, I in first place recommend
 Ubuntu, then openSUSE, then (with larger gap inbetween) followed by Fedora,
 ... Debian on last place.

 If freedom of software is your highest aim, then Debian should be your
 first choice, followed by Fedora, then a gap, then openSUSE, followed by
 Ubuntu on last place.

 From a mere technical standpoint, Fedora, Ubuntu and openSUSE all are on
 comparable levels and stages of development.

Very well said, I see. Really came to know the Debian has largest pool
of software.

This takes affect after a reboot. There's another command you can use to

Long Boot Times, Again

2011-12-21 Thread Richard Heck


As suggested, I've run systemd-analyze, and get:

/home/rgheck/  systemd-analyze blame | head
 60247ms sendmail.service
 60228ms home-rgheck-files.mount
 60192ms mnt-mail-multi.mount
  2537ms udev-settle.service
  1428ms rsyslog.service
  1348ms mysqld.service
  1146ms NetworkManager.service
  1097ms bluetooth.service
   837ms chronyd.service
   812ms fedora-storage-init.service

So both sendmail and these two network mounts are waiting about a minute 
for something to happen. Any suggestions about how to speed this up? I 
saw something about the comment=systemd.automount line in /etc/fstab, 
and I'll try that, but I'm still puzzled about why these mounts are 
sitting there for a minute. Is the _netdev flag the culprit?


# On BobJ
192.168.1.1:/home/rgheck/files/  /home/rgheck/files  nfs 
auto,user,rw,dev,nosuid,exec,_netdev 0 0
192.168.1.1:/multi/  /mnt/mail/multi nfs 
auto,nouser,rw,dev,nosuid,noexec,_netdev 0 0


Is this no longer needed?

The other one of course is sendmail. I wonder if this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multipleid=748171
has anything to do with it? Other ideas welcome

Richard

Hey Linda,

You're right, the kind of functionality you are asking about would improve
your use case greatly. The kind of tips and tricks seen in your responses
aren't a 'modification evolution,'  but based on methods built into Linux
and all unix-like systems.  Shell scripts can save a lot of time and
effort, with pipes and redirects playing an integral role.

I'll cite two resources that most on this list will recognize, and I'm sure
everyone has other favorites in this vein.   I encourage you to read
through them, cover to cover, and experiment as you go along.  You will
learn a lot, and become much more confident as a user and system
administrator.   There are even sections on file/user permissions and basic
system security I think you'll find especially interesting.

Hope this helps,

Pete

Re: mouse and keyboard locking up [Solved - card reader was culprit - correction: problem caused by failing motherboard USB header/port]

Some USB ports are designed to supply more power than others.  It could

The two headers are side-by-side; somehow, I doubt that one would have 
greater deliverable power than the other. I don't think a card reader 
has great power requirements, as well. It's not like a USB hard drive 
which I've had lots of issues with over the years (and I've actually 
never used it to read a card). My guess is that the motherboard USB port 
just failed.

F16: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed

2011-12-21 Thread Ralf Corsepius

Hi,

Since having upgraded to F16 from F14, I am drowning in messages similar 
to the one below on the console (corrupting any console output)


[ 1400.353433] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed
[ 1400.356601] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

accompanied by a message similar to the one in /var/log/messages 
(gradually filling it up)

[ 1400.356601] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

Does anybody know a workaround/fix to prevent the kernel from issuing 
them rsp. at least to prevent them to pollute the console?


[This machine (a netbook) only has one hard disk. sdb seems to refer to 
the builtin usb card reader.]

True, on production systems I usually dual-stack but at home  on smaller

3 years  have had hardly any issues at with it from a general user's (web

 the cool thing about v6 six is I don't have to ask for a public IP address 
for each of my clients as I can just use the generated v6 (or assign one) set 
up my dns  adresses for easier access and voila!

I used to do this type of stuff at an ISP.  What you have is a fairly 
long lease on an IP.  When that lease expires, your modem has to renew 
it.  There's a good chance that you'll get another lease on the same IP, 
but not always.  If the modem goes down briefly, or there's a short loss 
of signal, you'll still have the same IP.  If you want to be (almost) 
sure your IP changes, leave it off for at least fifteen minutes.  Why I 
qualified that last statement is left as an exercise for the reader.

Sorry to respond twice.  It only just occurred to me that I should 
comment on this as well.  What your ADSL modem connects to at the phone 
company isn't a modem or a router, but I can't remember any more what 
it's called.  (It's been eight years since I needed to know.)  However, 
if you think of it as a dumb router that does nothing except DHCP and 
passing packets, you'll be close enough.  The point is, that device has 
a fixed pool of IP addresses, all from the same subnet, to pass out. 
Thus, as long as you're connecting to that device, you're going to get 
an address from the same block.

 Hi,

 Since having upgraded to F16 from F14, I am drowning in messages similar
 to the one below on the console (corrupting any console output)

 [ 1400.353433] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed
 [ 1400.356601] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

 accompanied by a message similar to the one in /var/log/messages
 (gradually filling it up)

 [ 1400.351374] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
 [ 1400.353433] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed
 [ 1400.356601] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

 Does anybody know a workaround/fix to prevent the kernel from issuing them
 rsp. at least to prevent them to pollute the console?

 [This machine (a netbook) only has one hard disk. sdb seems to refer to
 the builtin usb card reader.]

Hi,

Can you post your /proc/mounts. I am not sure whether I will find anything,
but curious on this.

Thanks,
Soham

 I used to do this type of stuff at an ISP.  What you have is a fairly
 long lease on an IP.  When that lease expires, your modem has to renew
 it.  There's a good chance that you'll get another lease on the same IP,
 but not always.  If the modem goes down briefly, or there's a short loss
 of signal, you'll still have the same IP.  If you want to be (almost)
 sure your IP changes, leave it off for at least fifteen minutes.  Why I
 qualified that last statement is left as an exercise for the reader.

so i have been told. i do not know how long the lease is, but i do know
that it is longer than 30 days. i used to have dsl modem power brick
plugged in wall outlet. i realized my error a good while back when i
lost mains and i was downloading a large file and had about 10 minutes
remaining.

if i had brick plugged into ups, i could have halted dl and resumed when
mains can back up. it was not a torrent. :-(

i did correct my error. now, from time to time when i 'pull plugs', i get
a new ip and really not concerned how long i hold ip.

now, sometimes i pull dsl line just to refresh ip and avoid 'crazies'
hacking ip blocks.

 Sorry to respond twice.  It only just occurred to me that I should
 comment on this as well.  What your ADSL modem connects to at the phone
 company isn't a modem or a router, but I can't remember any more what
 it's called.  (It's been eight years since I needed to know.)  However,
 if you think of it as a dumb router that does nothing except DHCP and
 passing packets, you'll be close enough.  The point is, that device has
 a fixed pool of IP addresses, all from the same subnet, to pass out.
 Thus, as long as you're connecting to that device, you're going to get
 an address from the same block.

not a problem.

first jump is run to a rather large cabinet at side of a street, about
8 blocks away, where it goes from copper to fiber. then connects to a
'central office' about 5 miles away. what is in between me and 'co',
i have no idea. [see attached for a tracerute]


when i first signed up with aDSL, i did not get speed i am paying for,
so i call att to have a check run to see what/where problem was.

as it turns out, i am at end of a run, approx 3k20 feet of copper. :-(
so instead of 138 kbps, i average around 86 kbps.

fiber is in my future.

getting the nologin users out of the login dialog

2011-12-21 Thread Joel Rees
Okay, one question at a time, even though I'm pretty sure it's just
two faces of the same problem.

In fedora14 users whose login shell (in /etc/passwd) is specified as
/sbin/nologin do not show up in the login dialog. In Fedora15, they
do.

Does any one know of a setting to fix this?

I read in the man pages for xdm about /etc/shell, but /sbin/nologin,
for all that it seems to me it should not be in there, has been in
there since before fedora13. I tried taking it out anyway, but that
didn't fix anything. Not seeing anything else in the configuration
options that addresses this.

xev and certain windows

2011-12-21 Thread Ed Greshko
I've not needed to do this for a long time and I thought it works 
But, here is the skinny.

If I obtain the window id of, for example, a libre office window, using
xwininfo and then invoke xev with the -id parameter things seem to work
as expected.  For example, pressing 1 in the libre office window
results in:

KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x520002f,
root 0x124, subw 0x0, time 142007296, (357,352), root:(365,375),
state 0x10, keycode 10 (keysym 0x31, 1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) 1
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) 1
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x520002f,
root 0x124, subw 0x0, time 142007424, (357,352), root:(365,375),
state 0x10, keycode 10 (keysym 0x31, 1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) 1
XFilterEvent returns: False

However, when doing this with a Firefox, Thunderbird, and Chrome (for
example) it doesn't work.

A key press simply results in

PropertyNotify event, serial 14, synthetic NO, window 0x233,
atom 0x143 (_NET_WM_USER_TIME), time 142233172, state PropertyNewValue

So, how to trace key events in the same manner in those types of windows?

Clean Installs are Remarkable

2011-12-21 Thread Fedora User
I cannot believe that we are at F16. I clearly recall RH9 to FC-1. But I
digress. I know that others have said this in the past. I just thought
that I would reinforce the notion that clean installs remove a large
number of annoying problems that persist through upgrades. Moreover, it
is refreshing to start with a clean desktop; something that has become
a palette for the way we think and do things.

It has been awhile and I was unaware of the many advances that
developers have made in installation. It has never been this easy,
intuitive and fast. 

I was in a Walgreens the other day and picked up a bunch of Sony DVD's
for 40 cents each. There was a time when burning a DVD through Linux
was a considerable challenge. Now it is routine --- and cheap. The
perfect excuse for backing up the accumulated bytes; It makes you think
what you really want to retain. Then wiping the HD clean.

Nah, that wouldn't be a challenge. :-D The main thing I was trying was to get 
*others* to label me as a troll, so that I could obtain my deserved place on 
this list alongside with some other Great Trolls, but unfortunately I failed 
every time.

I'm more like a troll wannabe, but never actually making the cut. ;-) What can 
I do, my trolling skills just aren't good enough for people on this list... 
They seem to see through my intentions, and refuse to grant me with a genuine 
troll label, no matter how hard I try to convince them that I deserve it. ;-)

But thanks for the thought, it encourages me to keep trying. :-D

Best, :-)

It's quite possible it's a bug in the login manager.  If you're using 
gdm, try switching to kdm, or the other way around.  If it only shows up 
in one, report it.

I (grieviously) fear that wasn't hyperbole, but a quantum fluctuation 
which permitted Roger to remember the future.

That's good to know.  Even if I manage to get this desktop cleaned up 
and working, I'm considering saving up enough money to upgrade to a new 
mobo.  (This one's been working for about eight years, now, and is 
showing its limitations.)  When I do, there's no reason not to get one 
with enough RAM to need a 64 bit system, meaning, of course, a clean 
install.  Hearing how easy it is is very good news.

 Okay, one question at a time, even though I'm pretty sure it's just

 In fedora14 users whose login shell (in /etc/passwd) is specified as

 do.

 I filed a bug about this (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=670244)
 and there is reference there to an upstream bug. It is marked as a
 duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643444 which suggests
 the problem may be upstream of gnome.

Okay, thanks. And thanks for saving me the trouble of filing the bug.
I'll put myself on tracking for it, I think.

More and more this mess is reading like the problem might be a only a
loose USB connector solder-joint, from to much harsh traffic..  The
biggest failure reason in today's electronics are caused by poorly set
wave soldering specs...  Most repair people know that re-soldering a
problematic circuit-board will fix most hardware troubles...

 Nah, that wouldn't be a challenge. :-D The main thing I was trying was to get 
 *others* to label me as a troll, so that I could obtain my deserved place on 
 this list alongside with some other Great Trolls, but unfortunately I failed 
 every time.

it would be pretty hard to 'out troll' Marcel/Gilpel. Then there was the
troll king, Karl and if his was intentional, well... then he had a
tremendous gift. The highest you could ever achieve would be 3rd place
all time and it seems obvious that you lack the inner rage to qualify.

 It's quite possible it's a bug in the login manager.  If you're using gdm,
 try switching to kdm, or the other way around.  If it only shows up in one,
 report it.

Okay, that sounds like a fun thing to try. (Well, since Bruno reported
it, I can just track the bug, instead.)

Any idea where I should start on switching to kdm? I kept reading
something about a switcher application, I suppose I should look at
that some more?

Hi Joel,

after having added 10 users and restarting gdm (so I have totally 11
users), I get a *scrollable* list on the gdm login screen: the problem
you described does not appear on my box (fully updated F16).

Kind regards
