I would have thought that looking for the various /etc/release types of file that you know about would have been the simplest solutions. Surely, you'd know what to expect for all the releases that you're supporting? In the last few days, I had read a page discussing a more universal single /etc/release file, that would use the one filename for all distros, and have parameters inside it that were specific to the particular release. I don't remember where I read that, but it was most likely a reference found on this list. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Maybe you have your reasons that I don't understand but package management is distribution related. Generally Linux distributions are built around package managers. There are rpm based ones like Fedora, RH, SuSE and deb based like Debian, Ubuntu. There is opkg in OpenWRT and something that I can't remember right now in Arch. So package management is tightly related to Linux distro. Detecting Linux distribution is easier than searching for rpm or dpkg commands and checking if they are dominant package managers on the system.

You need to use the version of rpmbuild that matches the oldest distribution you want to install on. My last gig had a lot of people on RHEL 5.X so I had to build on an RHEL 5.X platform. The resulting rpm still worked on RHEL 6 and Fedora.

Preventing a removable disk of being mounted by udisk (Fedora18)
Hello
I have a removable disk I use with BackupPc. Problem is under Fedora 18
it is managed by udisk and udisk mounts it automatically
under /run/media/${USER} with permissions who don't allow
any other user than me to reach under the mount point.
Unfortunately thus behavior is hard-wired in the code (a bug IMHO)
so I want to remove this disk from udisk management. Unfortunately
I see nowhere something looking like a configuration file.
Any ideas?

replace grub (not grub2)
Hi all, I have two different boot drives, one occupied by f18 and one by f14. f18 uses grub2. f14 used grub. When I installed f18 xen it replaced grub with grub2 on the f14 system. Needless to say, my f14 xen system is no longer bootable. I want to reinstall grub and its MBR but grub-install is no longer available in f18: replaced by grub2. Searches on this return ancient results, most of which refer to DOS and Windows. What is the "modern" way to return the MBR to the old fashioned grub boot loader?

Yes I imagined that detecting /var/lib/rpm was one way to deal with
the problem (but not /etc/*-release as this is exactly what I want to
avoid: having to map distributions to packaging system).
I was hoping that there was some magic command a la lsb_release which
could have helped for this). Well I guess I'll have to rely on some
heuristic like those for now.
Would there be a possibility (for the long term) to add such a
facility. I understand that this is quite difficult as it requires
some synchronisation between distributions.
For the record, I'm just trying to have my cmake based build system to
decide which packaging scheme it should use on a given linux machine...
Thank's for the answers.

You could take a look at how sos does this: https://github.com/sosreport/sosreport Sos is a support data collection tool written in python. The upstream version now runs on Fedora, RHEL, RHEV, RHS, Debian, Ubuntu, Mac OSX, and Windows. It abstracts package management in a policy class - each target defines a policy which probes the environment to determine whether it should be the active policy. So for e.g. if /etc/fedora-release or /etc/redhat-release exists the redhat policy is activated. This is fairly robust and lets you define hierarchies (e.g. the Ubuntu policy extends Debian policy, and both Debian and Red Hat policies inherit from a common LinuxPolicy) so that policies can share common bits of implementation. The downside is that you have to create and maintain the policies and either add support for each new flavour or provide generic fall backs that do a reasonable job on unknown hosts.

And perhaps a run-time check, such as an RPM based query, which would
only work if the RPM database is filled with details about installed

I used to struggle to remove the version numbers from the names.
I have also wanted one of those. Thanks a lot for that. :-)

Reliable way to determine native packaging system
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I'm trying to find a standard way of finding the native packaging
system of a linux distribution. I'm not sure at all that testing the
presence of {rpm/yum}|{apt-get} is reliable as for example I can
install apt-get of my fedora computer.
So the question is, is there a simple test that can reliably determine
whether a linux machine is rpm or debian based for its native package
scheme ?
Thank's in advance,
Theo.

The owner of the remote machine just upgrade the machine I needed to reinstall everything. When I say denyhosts is not working that means that people are trying to ssh into that machine as root hunderds of times. Or trying to log in with any name. On the old machine. If you tried to log in as root one time, you were denied access. If you tried to log in with bin you get 10 tries and then were denied. Now that is not happening. As I was remote the first thing I always did was to put my ip address in hosts allow. In the event I fell asleep and used the wrong password several times in a row. I have several passwords I use at different places. So I launch denyhosts from the command line and it gets a pid and is running. But, nothing happens. People try to ssh in and denyhosts never comes up and denies access... I didn't make a copy of my old config file... So I can't fall back on that. I don't want to change the ssh port.

Ask away: http://ask.fedoraproject.org As others have noted, make sure that you are using the /var/lib/denyhosts/allowed-hosts and not /etc/hosts.allowed. You say you are running it from the command line. I know this is obvious, but I have to ask. Are you running it as root? If you're not, it may not be able to get access to the log files it parses. Here are the things that I had to check in the default /etc/denyhosts.conf to make it work for me: 1) Make sure that you have the right hosts.deny file chosen -- on some machines it's hosts.allow, hosts.evil, etc. For me, it's /etc/hosts.deny. 2) Make sure you have BLOCK_SERVICE set to what you want. I have it set to ALL. 3) Check DENY_HOSTS_INVALID (number of times a nonuser name can be tried) and DENY_HOSTS_VALID (number of times a real user name can be tried) and make sure they are reasonable numbers. There are other user categories, but those are the two that your test runs should hit on. 4) Make sure that WORK_DIR is correct. For me it is /var/lib/denyhosts. 5) Make sure you have logging turned on (SECURE_LOG). See point 8. 6) Since you say that you have it running in the foreground and is really running, this is probably not the issue, but it might not hurt to make sure that when it *isn't* running that there's no /var/lock/subsys/denyhosts file. 7) Make sure that denyhosts is looking at the right file for problems and that the failures are written in some standard way to the log file it looks at. Do you have ssh set up to log failures to a file other than /var/log/messages? Make sure that denyhosts knows where to look. 8) Finally, you can increase the log level of denyhosts, either by running it with --verbose or --debug options. That might tell you what is going wrong.

Is gnome-disks really incapable of dealing with a blank drive?
I popped in my new 4TB drive yesterday and tried to use gnome-disks to create a giant ext4 partition. I couldn't find any option anywhere to create partitions, I only found options to format, so I figured that would implicitly create the partitions. But no, it formatted /dev/sdc as an ext4 filesystem (NOT /dev/sdc1). Am I missing something, or is the gnome-disks utility really this useless? I eventually wrote a few megabytes of zeroes over the top of it then used gparted instead to create a new gpt partition table and make /dev/sdc1 (finally) an ext4 partition. -- 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?

I have nothing but a vague memory of the sequence of the problems/dialogs. bugzilla wants clear steps to reproduce the bug. The more info the better, except that log files should be attachments, not pasted-in. System hardware/firmware details should be provided as well. So, an update. I just attempted to install F18 over the top of F17. And it seems to be working... I got the popup about not having enough free space, so I clicked to delete /boot and / from F17, pressed continue, and the installer liked it. Right now its probably 75% done installing packages. What is different now? Are you using the very same install image that was giving you the problem before? sda3 and sda4 are formatted, operational, linux partitions. Before they were empty, unpartitioned space, or in one case, empty unformatted partitions. And in the time I have taken to type this email, the install is done. Seriously. Welcome screen done. One operational F18 laptop. Happy days. I love happy endings. :) But if you are able to reproduce the original bug, file a bugzilla. -- 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 you find that you're unable to install over the top, as the other reply suggests, and as some posts on this list seem to suggest that some people have had trouble doing, you can: Boot from some other Linux disc (including the install disc), make your way into a command line, run the "fdisk" program and delete the Linux partition(s). If, for example, your Linux partition was on /dev/sda2, then it'd be something like this: fdisk /dev/sda Press the "m" key then enter, to see fdisk's menu; press the hotkey to delete a partition, choose the right partition to remove, then write the partition table to disk and quit out of the fdisk program. Now, the details about what was your Fedora partition is lost, so an install should believe that part of the disc is unused and available. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Fedora 18: Mouse regressions
The touchpad on my laptop is only good as a basic mouse. I can't use any gestures, and I can't see any options to enable them. Am I missing something? Also, "Paint and paste" (To borrow a term from an earlier thread here) is broken. In a terminal, I like to highlight text, and click to paste. This does not work, and I don't like it. Can anyone point me at any documentation on how to fix these things? And are these regressions, or has someone decided this functionality is no longer required? I know there has been debate by the fdo people about the multitude of clipboard mechanisms, and removing some. Hopefully the missing Paint and paste isnt the result of this.
