what has this to do with rawhide?

koji is the build system at all
for all current supported and developed fedora-versions

I have been trying to discover what happened between the kernel that 
boots my system (3.1.9-1.fc16.x86_64) and the ones that fail to load my 
Radeon driver.


I can get the current src rpm kernel-3.2.3-2.fc16.src.rpm.

But the one that I am currently using is 3.1.9-1 and the mirrors do not 
appear to hold an rpm history. The srpm DVD has 3.1.0-7. Is anybody

Hi,

I have had many problems, as seen by the number of times I have posted 
in the past week. There are some things that just make no sense.
1. In the install DVD the provide the option to make your own partition 
layout, but there is no provision in the pull down menu to make the 
bios-grub partition.
2. Why do they make a /home partition be default. That should be a 
choice for those that do not like partitions. (I usually have just a 
root partition and a swap partition).
3. Why do they force a boot partition? As far as I know using /boot has 
worked since Fedora2.
4. Why is the starting group number 1000? I was assigned the ID/group of 
239 back in 1994. All of my systems know me by that number, which is 
very convenient when you NFS mount many disks. I exited /etc/login.defs 
to allow 239 and have had many mysterious problems. system-config-users 
does not appear to work!


Is there a place where the logic for these changes would be documented? 
Is there a place where system management from command line is 
documented? Some of us do not like sluggish window managers. The old 
fvwm does everything I desire, and more.

Re: acroread 64 bit

[Paolo Galtieri]

You need to install the gdk-pixbuf2 library for i686.   acroread is not a
64 bit application it is 32 bit so you need the 32 bit version of the
libgdk_pixbuf_xlib library.  This should do the trick.

It it in your best interests to get out of that habit.  You are going to
start seeing strange problems you don't understand, and things will break
in ways that are hard to troubleshoot and fix.  Your system sounds pretty
mixed up, and I'm guessing that running things as root unecessarily is a
contributing factor.

No idea. If you copied or did an install to some filesystem that didn't
do capabilities I guess, but that seems unlikely. ;(

Kernel 3.2.3-2 will not initialize my Radeon based laptop

[don fisher]

Title says it all. On boot I received a blur of messages, something 
about not being able to allocate a specified amount of memory. These 
messages are not logged anywhere I know of. They used to go out the 
serial port and could be linked to another machine, remember that DB9 
socket:-) How does one handle problems like this. Last time I was using 
Fedora I was building my own kernels.

There's no special ping group... 

what does 'rpm -V iputils' show? I bet you lost somehow the capability
bits set on ping. 

% getcap /bin/ping
/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep

if rpm -V iputils shows ping is wrong, do a 'yum reinstall iputils'

Check your capabilities for /bin/ping:

Here I have:

I do indeed have a Settings=>Accounts and sync

The last two are greyed out.

If I choose the Google account and click on Sync Now
it indicates that it is sync-ing.
But if I now go to my Google account on my laptop

I do not see any change in the contacts listed.

I'm wondering if there could be some problem seeing Google Contacts

yum install nspluginwrapper.i686 AdobeReader_enu
I get
Error: Protected multilib versions: 1:cups-libs-1.5.0-22.fc16.i686 !=
1:cups-libs-1.5.2-1.fc16.x86_64
Error: Protected multilib versions: krb5-libs-1.9.2-4.fc16.i686 !=
krb5-libs-1.9.2-6.fc16.x86_64

if I install from AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
Then I get an error
Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared
libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory

Thank for your help.

I have the adobe-linux-x86_64.repo in my /etc/yum.repos.d. I think that 
is where the version of acroread on my machine came from, but so much 
has been happening I have become a bit lost with memory.

Don, what are the permissions on /bin/ping (ls -al /bin/ping)? Mine
are set to 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) and ping works for me as non-root.

Yesterday I built a new system on another disk that allows ping to
work
as expected. My system crashed once,o a few thing must have been
"disturbed". I was trying to figure out how t repair it.


Smells like an selinux thing. Check your logs to see if you're getting
AVC denials. If so, you may need to relabel.

Rick,
Where are the seliunx messages logged? I looked in /var/log/secure
and the only thing I saw was a notice of when I used sudo to
test ping. What would I need to relabel? I am a dunce on security
issues.


They'd be in /var/log/messages if that's what's happening. You can
"touch /.autorelabel" to force a full autorelabel on reboot. That can
take some time.

Unfortunately, installing the download directly from Nvidia tends to
cause problems on kernel upgrades.  I strongly suggest you uninstall
that version and use the version from RPMFusion [1] instead.  It's
designed to work with Fedora and handle kernel updates appropriately.

Otherwise, you may need to reinstall the version you installed to get
it to work properly.

I have perhaps a similar problem with a radeon drover in the 3.2.3-2 
kernel. The 3.1.9-1 kernel works fine. The new kernel spews out garbled 
messages, something about failing to locate some number of pages. In the 
old days of the serial port, you could pipe these messages to another 
machine. Any suggestion on how to capture the messages, and what to do 
about the kernel distribution. Does it need a driver from RPMFusion? I 
did not see one.

What that does is set the parameter separator to an empty string. So
it uses the end of the line instead of space,  and new line.
You can see what it is set to by using the set command, or by
running echo $IPS. You can find it in the bash man page.

Have fun.

Could you please learn to give a few more details?

Such as querying your enabled repositories for the available package
versions?  For example, cups-libs-1.5.2-1.fc16 is from updates-testing
(and still in that repository), whereas cups-libs-1.5.0-22.fc16.i686 is an
older one. So, is the updates-testing repository enabled on your machine?
You must not enable it only temporarily when you want to install multiarch
packages.

Multiarch packages, such as cups-libs, typically are available with exactly
the same version-release for multiple architectures. That means, if you
get the "protected multilib versions" error, do query the repository (and
your local RPM database) for what is installed and what is available.
This is the most basic homework you could do. cups-libs.x86_64 and 
cups-libs.i686
are found in the same repository and are published at the same time. Normally.

Generally, the SELinux Troubleshooter should pop up, show you the error 
message and give you instructions on how to correct the problem.  If it 
hasn't, you can find it on the System Menu and run it that way if you 
want to be sure.

Re: bash script regular expression

[gerrynix]

Hi everyone, I was creating a script and i found something i can't figure out.

#/bin/bash

# ADD THE NEXT TWO LINES AS THE FIRST LINES BEFORE the for STATEMENT BEGINS
# There must be a new line (press Enter key) after the first single quote

IFS='

for i in $(cat certificates.txt)
do

I expected this

RSA Secure Server Certification Authority

but i got this

RSA

Certification
Authority
VeriSign
Class
1
CA
Individual

 any ideas how to fix this? i mean, how can i get the whole line instead of

 Don, what are the permissions on /bin/ping (ls -al /bin/ping)? Mine
 are set to 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) and ping works for me as non-root.

if you've got strace installed you could strace the execution of the ping

well.

Can't do it directly in front of the do statement, but if you put it in front 
of the whole if statement, then the parsing works.

Works for me, do you have any kind of content control/blocker system that

Sound input problem after F15 update

[Michael Eager]

Hi --

I updated Fedora 15 a few days ago and now I don't have sound input.
The input device is a Hauppauge tuner and it is recognized:

Pulseaudio volume control shows the BT as an input device, but the volume
display doesn't show anything.  The playback tab only shows "System Sounds".

There is also an internal sound card which shows up in pulse audio.  When
the audio source is plugged in to this input, it does show up in the pulseaudio
volume display, but there is no sound output.

Playing audio from Rhythmbox works OK.  (When this is running, the playback
tab shows Rhythmbox.)

Any help?

Try adding:

My protections are the same as yours. As I read the error message, I 
think that the problem is not being able to open the socket.

Hi

I don't believe every user has a directory..

I think you are "Good to GO!"

Marvin


I don't know if you are good to go but when I run: sudo pwck
on my machine except the last entry is:
pwck: no changes

instead of: invalid password file entry

so that is the output that would worry me. It seems you have an
invalid
entry in the passwd file. It would be nice if the program gave you a
hint which entry it is complaining about.

HI

I gave my answer based on three boxes I have they yield similar
results. Not all users will have a directory.

I stand by my answer..


Yes, users do NOT have to have a home directory (especially users that
are primarily there as "owners" of daemons and such and have a shell
of /sbin/nologin).

The "invalid password file entry" error probably indicates a blank line
at the end of either /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, so that's the first
place I'd look. Try

$ sudo vipw -p (edits /etc/passwd safely)
$ sudo vipw -s (edits /etc/shadow safely)

and check to make sure there aren't any blank lines in the files. Not
sure if pwck chokes on NIS-style entries (e.g. a username of "+")

Thanks for the come back..

I did the vipw -p and vipw -s and they all look identical ..No blank
lines..


The question is are there any blank lines at the end? That can be
difficult to see in an editor. When using vipw, try entering ":$"
(without the quotes, just colon-dollarsign). That should put you on
the last line of the file, which should contain data. If that's a
blank line, there's your answer.

Using "cat" can also tell you something. If you (as root) do "cat
/etc/passwd", make sure that the command prompt appears IMMEDIATELY
after the data. If there's a blank line between the output and the
prompt, you have a blank line at the end of the file.

Samples:
Good (no blank line at end of file):
[root@prophead server]# cat /tmp/wook
1
2
3
4
[root@prophead server]#

Bad (blank line at end of file):
[root@prophead server]# cat /tmp/wook
1
2
3
4

[root@prophead server]# vi /tmp/wook

("/tmp/wook" is just a scratch filename I used)


Additional note, I just used vipw to add a blank line to the end of
/etc/passwd and got the same error the OP got when I ran pwck, but with
a "delete line?" prompt.  I didn't accept that and used vipw to delete
the blank and pwck ran clean.

Hi

I am still getting the no directory thing.

But.  The second time you run pwck it gives the message..

pwck: no changes

So, I am back to my original statement..

OP is "GOOD TO GO"

I get all those no directories and don't believe they need directories..


No they don't.  Those are the users associated with daemon processes
and they don't have to have a home directory.

If you don't get the "invalid passwd entry" message, then the files are
good.  The "pwck: no changes" indicates that pwck didn't have to do
anything to the file (e.g. deleting a blank line, etc.)

You could also try:

  echo $a
 done < certificates.txt

I've had unsatisfactory success with cat (cat -n didn't work for me either).

 The "invalid password file entry" error probably indicates a blank line
 at the end of either /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, so that's the first
 place I'd look. Try

 $ sudo vipw -p (edits /etc/passwd safely)
 $ sudo vipw -s (edits /etc/shadow safely)

 and check to make sure there aren't any blank lines in the files. Not
 sure if pwck chokes on NIS-style entries (e.g. a username of "+")

Rich,

The master and a few replicas are running on Scientific Linux 6.1
x86_64. Here, we're using the stock packages along with the modified
389-ds-base packages in your fedorapoeople.org repo. So that puts it
at 1.2.9.9-1 for 389-ds-base I believe.

Two replicas (including the one that rebooted/failed) are on Fedora 12
x86_64 and their 389-ds-base is 1.2.5-1.

There was a known problem with clock skew calculation and handling in
1.2.5 - please try upgrading everything to 1.2.9.9. I realize fedora 12
is no longer supported.


Let me know what other info you need. Thanks.

i mean that /home and the datadrive at all is

are the things which are the hard work

 a scripted dist-upgrade for 20 servers with yum takes around
 two hours (proveable by logs) inlcuding download from local

and i put money that it works if i do it because i
am there since because i did this six times and it
worked form the first time perfectly, it is well
proven that it works and i am responsible for more
than 500 domains and all sort of services you can
imagine

but this is the differnce between me and many developers
out there - i know my respsonibility for the things i do
and and do never release half baken things to my users

and yes, i am developer too maintaning a whole cms-system
with > 200 instances on the mainserver and this does
alos get DAILY updates with one click as rolling release
and if i change things needing config-changes i am
responsible to prepare this and i do this since
nearly ten years with no mistake producing more
than a handfull php-warnings while error_reoprting
E_ALL + E_STRICT + E_DEPRECATED is active on ALL
machines

so there is a differnece how pepole act and seeing how fedora currently
acts makes people like me simply sad and angry
_

yes it takes 2 days to prepare

but it takes me two days for every single machine reinstall it
and restore all sort of configurations, scripts, cronjobs

so with 20 machines it would take me around 40 days resinstall
them, so it takes me two days upgrade them all, having in mind
that each dist-upgrade would take 40 days this would take
at least 80 days each year for fresh installs - unacceptable

4 days for two distupgrades are nothing
AND the infrastructure is growable!

it does not bother me if i have 20, 30 or 40 servers
they can be all maintained the same way, there are perfectly
wroking scripts on the admin-machine to start each sort of
commands / scripts on the production hosts to deploy and maintain
anything

but this does only work as long fedora is not destroying
the distribution slowly

It's a feature of all android phones - you need to put in your gmail
account into the phone - and make sure (via settings) that you have
allowed syncing on gthe phone. Then the phone will sync your contacts
etc to the google cloud - from where you can also sync it back ot your
linux machine - (a) you will see your contacts in gmail webmail app (b)
can use googlesycn addon for thunderbird.

How exactly (or even roughly) do you do this?
Assuming you have an Android phone,
and have transferred contacts from the phone to your Google account,
could you tell me, please, what commands you gave on your phone
or on your Google account.

I don't know the literal meaning of the term "sync",
unless it is a synonym for "synchronization",
which I take to mean in this context
that the data in two places is made the same.

I'm talking about going in the opposite direction - from phone to Google.

Which contribution to this did you find relevant?
It seems to be a litany of people who are, or were, trying to do
more or less the same as me, but who failed in much the same way.

The only usefuly piece of information I saw there was that
"KDE 4.4 will contain a KContactManager",
which I cannot find on my KDE 4.7.4

I too have thought about moving contacts in and out of my phone, but not
just an Android phone (I have the Wife's and kid's phones too).

I know my car (Ford's Sync product) downloads my phonebook via Bluetooth
"PBAP" and I've made a few half-hearted  attempts at looking into this to
on Fedora but have never been successful and didn't spend much time doing
so, partly because I have easy access to a CellBrite unit which downloads
everything for me.

I believe PBAP allows you to not only download from the phone but to
upload to the phone as well, plus I'm guessing that most if not all modern
cell phones with Bluetooth have this capability.

I guess an avenue to solve the problem exists, the question is, is it
possible to get PBAP to work on Fedora/Linux?

I don't understand this.
Do you mean you don't have a separate /home partition?
Don't you get any email?

This illustrates the difference between us.
It would take me at least 2 days to do the above, not 2 hours.
And when I had done it I would have zero confidence it would work.
In fact I would put money on it not working.

I haven't turned anything on or off on the phone.
Do you have an Android phone?
I have been advised that I should go to Settings=>Advanced on the phone,
but there is no such item on my phone in the Settings menu.
(The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2, running Android 2.3.3 .)
I'm running the application Funambol Sync .

For some reason, keeping contacts under Fedora/KDE is a nightmare for me.
I want to have one contacts list which I can reach on any computer,
so I keeping my contacts under OpenLDAP on my server.
If there is an alternative I would be interested to hear of it.

Sadly, Windows scores 9/10 in this area, while Fedora scores 1/10 .

What do you mean by "use google sync"?
Are you talking about a Fedora program?
According to "man google" there is no option "sync".
Perhaps if you just wrote down the command you give or might give 
(under Fedora), and the effect you expect it to have,
I would find it simpler to follow.

Actually, I have some success with

Unfortunately, KAddressBook does not at present appear to be working,
though it does have a facility to import CSV data,
so I guess I could use that to transfer my contacts list from Google.

Actually, I keep all my contacts at present under OpenLDAP,
which KAddressBook is able to access when it is working.

I was advised to use googlecl on this newsgroup.
It probably is part of what I need,
but its documentation is very bad, even by Fedora standards.
I find the statement in /usr/share/doc/googlcl*/README.txt
"If you have no idea what this project is or is about, 
poke around on our home page at http://code.google.com/p/googlecl.";
slightly offensive, apart from being useless since the home page 
is even worse.

Sadly, my experience is that any documentation associated with Google
is likely to be difficult to follow and time-consuming,
as the authors appear to want to show how clever they are
instead of communicating basic information.

No. You can sync your phone with Google. That means, literally, that 
your phone will sync your contacts, and whatever else, with your Google 
account. This will make all your data visible from a web browser on 
google.com (gmail for contacts, calendar, etc.). If you make changes on 
google.com and sync with your phone those changes will be reflected on 
your phone.



Also, I'm a KDE user, though I guess anything in Gnome
probably have an equivalent somewhere in KDE.


A quick Google search turned this up:

Incidentally, I've always assumed that the word "sync" meant
to make the data in two places, eg phone and computer, the same.
But it seems to be used in this context simply to mean
"transfer from A to B"


No, I literally meant sync. Not "sync".

* prepare the dist-upgrade
* test it with snapshots
* rebuild weak packages (missing unit-files, dependencie problems..)
* build up an internal repo
* have all machines ONLY this repo as source
* have all machines cloned from the same master
* have all machines exepct the repo-cache never seen external repos

after that you can test a dist-upgrade until your finger bleeds
and you are knowing EXACTLY what will happen on the live-machine

you can prepare even configurations for services before
rollout - again you know exatly what happens, what have
to be prepared and what excatly commands you have to type
after the dist-upgrade before the reboot and put
them in a script on each target machine
_

finally a simple shell scipt
"ssh root@taget-machine1 'yum -y commands; /finish-script.sh"
"ssh root@taget-machine2 'yum -y commands; /finish-script.sh"
"ssh root@taget-machine 3'yum -y commands; /finish-script.sh"
_

i have done my homework in 2008 and planned a working infrastructure
where new servers are cloned from the same master and i did EVERY
dist-upgrade (F10, F11, F12, F13, F14) this way without a single
problem because i know what i am doing and holding my machines clean

and that is why my understanding breaking this in one or
the other way is simply not existent and called an unacceptable
step backwards, and yes i have a VOIP-Server which has seen every
single update since FC7 until F15 via yum because as said i
know what i am doing and i take the time to prepare things
well BEFORE they are needed

that is also the reason for my non existing understanding
for put dumb service restarts on yum update in every package
instead a global 0/1 setting forxing me tu rebuild each
damned server-package and bringing no benefit at all because
it is not well thought believing in better security doing
this automaticallyl in the case of security updates not realizing
that this would as example not help if a php-security update
arrives which does not restart httpd, or a gd-library update
fixing security bugs and affecting all sorts of other packages
including php and at least apache

such things are low-brained decisions without looking
at the big picture

I don't agree - at least if one has 2 or 5 machines to deal with.
I always do a fresh install on a new partition, 
leaving the /home partition untouched.
(I don't think this is a "Windows thing";
I don't even know if it is possible under Windows.)

One reason is that in my experience there is a non-zero probability
that the new version will not work, perhaps because of a driver problem.
In fact I would guess that over all the Fedora systems I have installed
there has been a 25% initial failure rate,
usually to do with video card drivers.

What is the script?
It seems to me it would have to be pretty complicated.
I certainly wouldn't trust any script I wrote to do this.

The problem is caused by the expected behaviour of the $(cat) construct
being fed into a for loop.  It will use the current word separator to
split the text file into separate single-word lines for each word, which
is what lots of people want, but not what you expect in your situation.

Instead, use the read command like:

  It does keep the 2 in sync - sounds lke you turned off the sync part
in your phone - otherwise all your contacts would be visible in gmail
contacts via browser. If thats the case just turn sync back on on your
phone and you're done.

  Just use google sync like most people.

  With thunderbird you can use the googlesync addon to sync contacts
with gmail.

   KDE/PIM I don't use but hopefully any modern addressbook would have
sync ability - if KDE/PIM has no sync ability then of course it wont
work - you can of course use thunderbird to do it and export it for
re-import ... and vice versa ...

  that said if the tool doesn't do what you need you're using the wrong
tool no?

Thanks for your response.

Actually, I haven't yet inserted an SD card into the phone,
though the phone does have that facility.
I do see some comments on transferring data to the SD card,
so your suggestion may well be the way to go.
I shall pursue the matter.

pam configuration for mobile one-time-password

[Gergely Buday]

Hi,

I am trying to configure mobile one-time-password so that ssh
authenticates with that. See

http://motp.sourceforge.net/

for details. I was suggested to add

auth   sufficient   /lib64/security/pam_mobile_otp.so not_set_pass
password   required /lib64/security/pam_mobile_otp.so debug
accountrequired /lib64/security/pam_mobile_otp.so

to the beginning of /etc/pam.d/sshd . But it is not clear how should I
rewrite the default rest. Simply leaving the rest intact I get the
following behaviour: upon bad passcode I get "passcode not accepted"
in /var/log/messages. Upon good code nothing appears there, but the
login does not happen. What sequence of pam shared objects should run
on fedora 16 to make the login happen? Or, how should I rewrite the
lines below to make it work? I tried several variations but in vain.

Here is the rest of /etc/pam.d/sshd :

auth  required pam_sepermit.so
auth   substack password-auth
auth   include  postlogin
accountrequired pam_nologin.so
accountinclude  password-auth
password   include  password-auth
# pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule
sessionrequired pam_selinux.so close
sessionrequired pam_loginuid.so
# pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be
executed in the user context
sessionrequired pam_selinux.so open env_params
sessionoptional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
sessioninclude  password-auth
sessioninclude  postlogin

where postlogin is empty, and password-auth is

#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
authrequired  pam_env.so
authsufficientpam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass

No, this was. My whole disk was 15G, but having the space on /home and
/usr partition the pure root partition had only 6G, and that was not
enough. I created a 8G root partition, and allocated disk space to the
/home and /usr partitions. Doing so the install was successful, albeit
at the end the installer said that it was resizing some partition on
the fly.

well, i am frustrated about the way radical changes are done
in fedora with closed eyes and trough the wall the last releases
but this is a impossible expectation because no one ever would
act in such a stupid ay - really this is unthinkable from
