Moodle on Fedora 16
Hello list members! I'm having a hard time trying to make moodle work on my Fedora 16. Few days ago I got the greatest news: one of my clients is moving to Moodle and that means a lot of work for this year. The Moodle server will be in their headquarters and someone will take care of it, so no problem there. But I have to move 80 and something courses from another CMS to Moodle, and the production server will not be available in a while... I want to setup a local development server to start migrating the courses, and also to maintain them and move ready copies of the courses to production. Yesterday I installed moodle from the repositories, together with a bunch of dependencies, http and php + php modules. Then I fought against moodle for the rest of the day as it appears that it did not allow me to use any directory to be its data directory. I finally solved that this morning with some SElinux magic after few hours of reading. I pointed the browser to localhost/moodle and tada! welcome page. Click next. Error, cannot continue, php-zip is missing. I yum search for it, and it is not on any repository. I confirmed it does not exist in any repo, so well, here I am now. Questions: - How can I install php-zip? I am comfortable on Linux, been using Fedora since it exists, on 3 different computers at home. I have made my share of administering them and they all work so far :-) although I have never installed anything from source. So, what would be the easiest way to install php-zip? Can I get somewhere the srpm and build it? Or do I really have to uninstall php and install from scratch with enable zip? This last bit scares me. - Is it possible somehow to make moodle accept as data folder one folder in /home? I couldn't make it work. At the moment it resides in /var/www/moodledata, but I'd like to move it under /home as this partition is much bigger. I'm sure more things will come up, I'd appreciate any and all the help you could offer.

More on date/time format problems
WRT my system's date/time display on the top panel changing to 24hr format. I just finally realized that when I lock my system, the date/time on the top panel is in the 24hr format and when I unlock it it switches back to the selected AP/PM format. So what is PROBABLY happening is one time I unlock, it does not switch back. I cannot find any place to set the date/time format for a locked system. When I lock my system (via user panel option of ctl-alt-l) my screen goes black (it is still 'on' until screen saver timer turns it 'off', you can see this with the lights off in the room) it displays a top panel with only the date/time and user name. So is this a bug with the locked panel NOT using the same format as the unlocked panel? Obviously there is an intermitent problem of the system loosing track of things. And as I think back, once it gets confused, locking then unlocking does not reset it. Only the alt-F2r has so far reset the date/time format. -- 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?

Reading Linux files from Windows?
I have a dual boot system on my laptop - Fedora-16 and Windows XP. I'm wondering if there is any Windows application that allows one to read and write files on a Fedora partition? (As of course one can do in the opposite direction.) Before advising me to wash my mouth out with soap and water, allow me to explain the reason for my query. I recently acquired a Samsung Smart TV (model D5520). This has a facility for looking at photos on a PC using Picasa. I tried briefly using Picasa under Wine, but this seemed to fail at both ends (Linux and TV). So it seems the easiest solution would be to call on my rarely used Windows system. I could of course move the pictures to the Windows partition, but I wondered if there was an alternative solution along the lines I have described? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- 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?

Re: Fedora 16 instabilities
- The worst aspect of Fedora 16 is it has made computing a stochastic process. Instead of the rock-solid behaviour of previous releases, Fedora 16 behaves randomly. On the specific boxes you have (not a statistically valid sample). On my boxes for example 16 is way better than 15 (which was utter trash) - The command 'reboot' typed in an X terminal emulator, sometimes works; but often hangs the machine, requiring pressing reset. What are your system specs? If you wanna criticize, do it in a constructive manner so people can fix issues. Really useful here would be the actual logs of the end of the fail and the dmidecode of the box. Certainly we've got some cases of boxes hanging on the final step of shutdown/reboot with current kernels and that isn't a Fedora issue but a general kernel one. Mind you I've also seen systemd fail the reboot service and get itself in a right mess so it could be either. - The 'df' command has been rendered nearly useless due to the voluminous extraneous output. df | grep sda :) - The mount command, which was once useful, isn't any more. It's simply unreadable. See above. More to the point df is doing what it is required to do. Fedora now uses tmpfs for a variety of temporary things. That is on the whole good particularly on systems with slow storage. - The latest kernel, 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64, causes skype to crash unless it is run with strace, in which case it fails to fail. Go figure! Probably a skype problem, however skype is impossible for anyone but Skype to debug so please report it there. It's beyond even the usual proprietary problems as its intentionally self encrypting and obfuscated to prevent anyone reverse engineering their protocols. - The session manager for xfce seems unable to restart roxterm windows, but can handle xterm's fine. Why? session managers record what the app provides for restart. If roxterm doesn't provide valid session data it won't restart. - Libreoffice insists on making files inaccessible via nfs. A workaround is to edit /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice to comment out these two lines: ## SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 ## export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING but this must be redone whenever a new update comes along. Your NFS setup needs to have locking enabled. That's probably a configuration error on your NFS server. - The microphone on one machine (but not others) wouldn't work until I added a cryptic line to the beginning of /etc/modprobe.d/dist-alsa.conf: options snd-hda-intel model=auto dmidecode, lspci -vv and report to the alsa developers.

[solved] flashing wireless light
On the off-chance this might save someone else some time... If you, like me, hate a flashing wireless light and have been relying on led_mode=1 to silence it, the option changed (for me, at least) with 3.1.7. I'd previously used options iwlagn led_mode=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf. With 3.1.7, options iwlwifi led_mode=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf works. -- 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?

fedora 16 printer problem
hello, * I have installed fedora 16 on a new TP X220 to replace fedora 14 on a TP X200. * The two systems are intended to be equivalent until I switch over exclusively to the X220. * Using the HPLIP Device Manager application I installed the same hp network connected printers, two wired (office), one wireless (home) * The printers are LaserJet 4350, Color Laserjet 4600, Photosmart 309g (the problem) * The two laserjets work fine. * The 309G scans, reports status, supplies, etc. Ping, of course, sees it. * I noticed that the ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd for the 309g was different on the X200 so I copied it over to the X220 * still the same but the related lines in /var/log/messages changed so I am reasonably confident that the ppd file is being read. * /var/log/messages: (before copying the ppd from the X200) Jan 10 21:00:01 rwells-f16 hp-setup: hp-setup[26735]: warning: No PPD found for model photosmart_premium_c309g-m using new algorithm.

Power Button initiates immediate shutdown procedure
Hi, when I press the computer's power button my F16 system immediately starts the shutdown procedure. Even if I'm logged in (Gnome3) all my programs are shut down without further notice. With F14 Gnome used to show a shutdown dialog where I could prevent the system from powering down. I tried to change some settings in dconf to get the old behavior by setting all power-* keys in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power to interactive. However this did not have any effect. How can I either make Fedora to ignore the power button completely or show the shutdown menu so I can cancel the shutdown?

F16 concurrency problem between network and sshd service
Hi, This is a problem which started to show up today. After reboot, sshd failed to listen on my local IPv6 address. I have a static network configuration using the network init script. I have a sshd configuration which defines various ListenAddresses in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, like this: # localhost ListenAddress 127.0.0.1:22 ListenAddress [::1]:22 # local only addresses ListenAddress 192.168.1.1:22 ListenAddress [fc00::1]:22 # external address ListenAddress a.b.c.d:12345 The last time before today I rebooted the machine was 2 days ago. This was right after I updated to the new 3.1.7 kernel via yum. Everything worked fine. Today I installed the last set of updates via yum and rebooted again. This time I was not able to connect to that machine via IPv6. So I tried netstat: $ netstat -tnl | grep :22 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.1.1:220.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 ::1:22:::*LISTEN Where is fc00::1? ifconfig showed clearly that the fc00::1 address was configured and ready. `systemctl restart sshd.service' worked fine and afterwards sshd was listening on fc00::1:22 as well. I had a look into /var/log/secure: 12:32:24 sshd[1360]: Server listening on a.b.c.d port 12345. 12:32:24 sshd[1360]: error: Bind to port 22 on fc00::1 failed: Cannot assign requested address. 12:32:24 sshd[1360]: Server listening on 192.168.1.1 port 22. 12:32:24 sshd[1360]: Server listening on ::1 port 22. 12:32:24 sshd[1360]: Server listening on 127.0.0.1 port 22. Ok, so it was no problem to set up the listening sockets on any other requested IP address, just trying to lsten on fc00::1 failed with Cannot assign requested address. So what about setting up the network? 12:32:22 avahi-daemon[1092]: Registering new address record for fe80::6250:40ff:fe30:2010 on br0.*. 12:32:22 avahi-daemon[1092]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface br0.IPv4 with address 192.168.1.1. 12:32:22 avahi-daemon[1092]: New relevant interface br0.IPv4 for mDNS. 12:32:22 avahi-daemon[1092]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.1 on br0.IPv4. 12:32:22 avahi-daemon[1092]: Registering new address record for a.b.c.d on br0.IPv4. 12:32:22 avahi-daemon[1092]: Withdrawing address record for a.b.c.d on br0. 12:32:22 avahi-daemon[1092]: Registering new address record for a.b.c.d on br0.IPv4. 12:32:22 network[962]: Bringing up interface br0: [ OK ] 12:32:24 avahi-daemon[1092]: Registering new address record for fc00::1 on br0.*. 12:32:24 avahi-daemon[1092]: Withdrawing address record for fe80::6250:40ff:fe30:2010 on br0. So the network is supposed to be up 2 seconds before sshd tries to create a listener on these addresses. There's no good reason that it should fail for the IPv6 address, except that avahi-daemon is apparently doing something with the IPv6 address at this time. Could that be the problem? And if so, why? And does anybody know how to workaround this problem?

AFAIK, yum/rpm can use the usual method of getting an id for a new program (calling useradd or similar), which doesn't involve creating a shadow.rpmnew file. This has nothing to do with adding users. The file /etc/shadow is owned by the setup RPM (it has the base OS-defined users like root and mail). When that RPM gets an update, rpm will see that /etc/shadow has changed (because users have been created) and not overwrite it. It will instead write it to /etc/shadow.rpmnew (and print a notification that it did that). This is no different than any other file marked as a configuration file in the RPM. Since /etc/shadow.rpmnew is meaningless, the setup RPM has a post-install script to remove it. -- Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- 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?

If it's currently configured, even if not used, to say that network manager handles eth0, for example, then if network manager hasn't brought up eth0, network manager will say that eth0 is down, no matter what the real status of eth0 is (as network manager's statuses are notifications of what *it* has done, rather than what the interface's real status is), and regardless of whether network manager is suppose to be running or not. On the other hand, if network manager is configured to not manage eth0, then any query about its status shouldn't return an answer. At least, that's been my prior experience with avoiding network manager on one machine. My (limited) understanding of NM is that it expects to manage all interfaces, and if there's an interface it doesn't manage then that interface has been disabled for some reason. In any case, the failing apps (Firefox, Evolution, ...) simply ask NM and believe what it says, and if NM doesn't manage the interface it's going to say that it's down, no matter what the reality is. poc -- 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?

But I'll see if one can get round this in some way. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- 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?

Quoting Lucélio Gomes de Freitas aa.luce...@gmail.com: More work to set up but very easy to use is something like this: make a new partition using gparted format the partition as NTFS, a Windows format put your photos in the new partition read them from windows as a new drive, E: or G: or whatever This allows reading and writing from both Windows and Linux, however you set it up.

Its not an accurate assumption, but a safe one, just like making backups before replacing operating systems or manipulating partition tables. If you think you might need it, and can't resize the existing partition, I suggest starting from scratch with your desired partition scheme as the very first task, and installing windows before Fedora.

Re: no internet connection with Fedora16
From: Joe Zeff j...@zeff.us Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 10:46 AM Hi, Joe. My desktop doesn't use NM, and for a very good reason: it nuked my DNS numbers every time I rebooted until I permanently disabled it. I've not had a single issue of that kind since I went back to using network. I'm beginning to think that resistance is futile and have started to accept the inevitability of NM. OTOH, I run my own name server for my tiny home network and was none too pleased to find NM wiping my name server out of /etc/resolv.conf. I was querying this list about a somewhat-related problem when somebody (don't recall the name offhand) made the brilliant suggestion to mark resolv.conf as immutable. I've added the following to my resolv.conf to remind me of what I did and how to undo it: # # I've marked this file as immutable via: # # chattr +i resolv.conf # # To undo that: # # chattr -i resolv.conf I haven't been mugged by NM since I did this. BTW, I did the same thing to my iptables file to keep some helpful system utility (NM?) from messing with my configuration. -- Mike -- 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?

F16 and firewalld
In F14 I'm used to editing /etc/sysconf/iptables, add my rules and run service iptables restart to reload the rules. I assumed that the way to do it now was systemctl reload iptables.service. This of course was wrong. So I did a little googleing. There apparently is a new firewall daemon firewalld in F16. Which interstingly enough is not installed by default though iptables are. So I install firewalld, enable the service and then start the service. I run iptables --list to see the current config. I edit the /etc/sysconf/iptables file and enter systemctl reload firewalld.service and much to my surprise I get the following [root@virtualF16 sysconfig]# systemctl reload firewalld.service Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.

If the old way was service iptables restart, the new way would be systemctl restart iptables.service. systemd most certainly did not change the meaning of stop, start, restart, or reload, so you should continue to use the same verb with systemctl. Incidentally, service iptables restart will still work too. The systemd unit file for iptables doesn't define a reload action, presumably because the old initscript didn't either. IIUC, there isn't a way to reload iptables rules in the classic sense of the word. (It usually means reload configuration without restarting the daemon, but iptables requires a restart to reload the configuration.) IIRC, firewalld is supposed to fix this, but it isn't ready for prime time yet, which is why it's not enabled by default and perhaps why it's giving you grief.

Re: Fedora 16 instabilities
On 11 January 2012 20:00, David A. De Graaf d...@datix.us wrote: Here's why Fedora 16 isn't ready for prime time. Many of these have been BZ'd, without effect. And most are not 'instabilities', not aware of any system release that hasn't had some problems, some are problems with particular programmes rather than platform problems. - Shutdown takes much too long, and often fails completely, like reboot. This is quite annoying, especially with laptops. I find shutdown pretty quick, faster than WinXP certainly. You may have hardware or services that are being slow, possibly also related to the mention of a machine not powering off. - Changing UID's to start at 1000 instead of 500 is just annoying. Compatibility with other Linux systems, with different emphasis it's *just* annoying. - The latest kernel, 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64, causes skype to crash unless it is run with strace, in which case it fails to fail. Go figure! As others have said it's closed source and does funny stuff. It's also now owned by MS. That said, Skype 2.2 here, static build on kernel 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 is working fine. - On one laptop the NumLock will sometimes turn itself on. This can be annoying if a password must be typed. - On one machine, the password had be typed quickly in a console. The root password was too hard to type to meet that requirement. However, if it was entered by cut-and-paste, it was OK. In X, there was no problem. - On one machine (of seven) the CD drawer pops open at random times. Weird list of things that sound more like hardware problems than anything else. - An older nvidia NV18 GeForce4 MX 440 card requires the earlier version of the nvidia driver - which is no longer supported. The nouveau driver doesn't work nearly as well. A perfectly functional video card is rendered disfunctional. I used to have one of those, they pre-date nouveau. nvidia still support it, rpmfusion probably didn't think anyone would still need to use these 96.43.20. If you asked nicely they might put it back, or you could investigate how to rpmbuild the package from the src.rpm and the binary blob. - The rt2500usb driver for my DLink USB wireless transceiver won't work reliably unless I disable power management with: iwconfig wlan0 power off However, trying to do this automatically in a control file, /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/16-power only works sometimes. Another puzzling and annoying randomness. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731672#c19 last paragraph of that comment for a better fix. You're not doing it in a place where it's reliably started in time. - A directory, ~/.gvfs, cannot be read even by root. This should be impossible in a sane Linux system. This unacceptable behaviour can be expunged by removing the gvfs-fuse package, which takes with it the shotwell, totem, and totem-nautilus packages. So far, I haven't noticed any loss of functionality. In my experience root should not expect to be able to read all points on the filesystem, this is more obvious when you consider remote filesystems, but also makes sense for virtual ones. -- imalone -- 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?

Wireless laptop connection spontaneously disconnects and reconnects
Since loading F15 on a brand new Dell M4600 Precision a short time ago, I'm seeing it spontaneously disconnect and reconnect to my home wireless system. Below are a few hours of entries in /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log from this afternoon. There's no way to know the exact times because there's no timestamps, but I cleared the file earlier and restarted everything. (Access Point MAC addrs are elided). The disconnect is odd in that NM's wireless icon in the KDE panel shows full power and the popup doesn't indicate that anything is wrong. The disconnects seem to last a couple of minutes. Sometimes I see two or three happen in the space of an hour. The laptop is a new Dell M4600 Precision and the network hardware (from lspci) is: Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 (rev 5e) Any thoughts from the Wireless Wizards? === about 5 hours of entries from /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log === WPA: Group rekeying completed with ??:??:??:??:??:??
