Re: Firefox/Flash vs. Pulseaudio; Audio can't be directed to the desired device
On 4 September 2013 06:49, Jonathan Ryshpan jonr...@pacbell.net wrote: Pulseaudio can control which output device receives main audio output via kmix-Mixer-Settings-Audio Setup-... which invokes Phonon. At this point select the audio stream you want to divert, Prefer the device you want to receive the stream to the top and Apply. This sends the audio stream, the output of Amarok (in my case) to the desired device, Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (in my case). EXCEPT that this doesn't work for a stream originating in Firefox/Flash. How can I redirect this stream? What am I missing? Which version of Fedora are you using? I ask because in F18 KDE the Phonon KDE control only allows adjustment of output per category (music, video, notifications etc). Both the flash plugin and firefox use pulse's alsa plugin for playback, I'm not sure what category they come under, whether they come under the same category or even if applications using the alsa plugin can communicate their category. Anyway, if you've tried all the categories and the overall device control with no luck then try installing pavucontrol. The leftmost 'playback' tab will allow per-stream (actual streams, not categories) control of the device used. However it only shows active streams, so you need to start playback to get the stream you want to appear. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

how can i make restart not require root password
hello,
I've got hundred of fedora19 station installed on computer lab for our
students.
these are self service multi-user stations, users needs to restart the station
whenever they want to
unfortunatly apparently polkit prevents them to restart when another user is
(or had been ?) connected .
I know it is a safe behavior, but we defenitively want to enable users to
restart the station themself whenever they want to, but without requiring the
root password !
indeed, often student leave the room without disconecting (bad !) , then the
screen locks but still allows someone else to connect, but that second student
then cannot restart :-( .
I've tried lot of things:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/1190/how-can-i-make-shutdown-not-require-admin-password
apparently .pkla files a deprecated , and I confirmed that creating a
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/allow_all_users_to_restart.pkla
containing Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users
AllowActive=yes doesn't work
then, from #fedora IRC I've been proposed to create rules in
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d :
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/36844/
[root@b06-02 rules.d]# cat 00-early-checks.rules
/* Allow shutdown when others are logged in */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users ||
action.id == org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
it still fails, when user click on their username on the top right corner of
the gnome-session, schroll down to shutdown, then click restart, a window
appears warning that there are other user conencted and that authentification
is required for rebooting the system while other users are logged in, and ends
by asking to enter the Administrator password :-(
Where can I remove that feature ?
Thanks

IIUC, the actions you need to authenticate are:
org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions
org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions
have a look at /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy.
FWIW, usually polkit authentication propmpts are logged in the system
logs, either check /var/log/messages, or `journalctl -bn` (executed after

1 - Do the students ever have to initiate a long running job and wait for
results? If so, having someone else reboot the machine is not desirable.
2 - It might be better to just log out idle users.
3 - However, if it is your intention to let any user reboot at any time, use
visudo to add a line:
%bootersALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot
so the next student could log in and reboot from command line with
sudo su /sbin/reboot
Note that this requires putting all students allowed to do this (all of them?)
into a secondary group allowed to reboot.
My though is that there is a reason why this isn't the default, if there is no
legitimate use which justifies not rebooting, you certainly can do that. In
particular, you probably don't want people logging in remotely and just
rebooting the machine, students have been known to prank one another.

2 - It might be better to just log out idle users.
3 - However, if it is your intention to let any user reboot at any
time, use visudo to add a line:
%bootersALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot
so the next student could log in and reboot from command line with
sudo su /sbin/reboot
Note that this requires putting all students allowed to do this (all
of them?) into a secondary group allowed to reboot.
My though is that there is a reason why this isn't the default, if
there is no legitimate use which justifies not rebooting, you
certainly can do that. In particular, you probably don't want people
logging in remotely and just rebooting the machine, students have been
known to prank one another.
unfortunatly , some user never use a terminal and would'nt know how to
use a command line as sudo su /sbin/reboot
the purpose here was to enable restart from the drop down menu withing
the gnome session .
as ahmad samir replied earlier, I have the solution with setting this:
[root@b06-01 ~]# cat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/00-early-checks.rules
/* Allow shutdown when others are logged in */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions ||
action.id ==
org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});

hello,
I've got hundred of fedora19 station installed on computer lab for our
students.
these are self service multi-user stations, users needs to restart the station
whenever they want to
unfortunatly apparently polkit prevents them to restart when another user is
(or had been ?) connected .
I know it is a safe behavior, but we defenitively want to enable users to
restart the station themself whenever they want to, but without requiring the
root password !
indeed, often student leave the room without disconecting (bad !) , then the
screen locks but still allows someone else to connect, but that second student
then cannot restart :-( .
I've tried lot of things:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/1190/how-can-i-make-shutdown-not-require-admin-password
apparently .pkla files a deprecated , and I confirmed that creating a
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/allow_all_users_to_restart.pkla
containi
ng Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users
AllowActive=yes doesn't work
then, from #fedora IRC I've been proposed to create rules in
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d :
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/36844/
[root@b06-02 rules.d]# cat 00-early-checks.rules
/* Allow shutdown when others are logged in */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {

org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users ||
action.id ==
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
it still fails, when user click on their username on the top right corner of
the
gnome-session, schroll down to shutdown, then click restart, a window appears
warning that there are other user conencted and that authentification is
required for rebooting the system while other users are logged in, and
ends by
asking to enter the Administrator password :-(
Where can I remove that feature ?
1 - Do the students ever have to initiate a long running job and wait for
results? If so, having someone else reboot the machine is not desirable.
2 - It might be better to just log out idle users.
3 - However, if it is your intention to let any user reboot at any time, use
visudo to add a line:
%bootersALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

sudo su /sbin/reboot

Re: Error: connection activation failed: Device not managed by NetworkManager or unavailable after moving machine
On 09/03/2013 03:01 PM, Aaron Gray issued this missive:
Hi,
Error: connection activation failed: Device not managed by
NetworkManager or unavailable
I am getting the above error and have tried all my normal mods to try
and get a connection.
I did move the SATA drive from one machine to another and back,
changing the MAC address and putting it back in the process.
I have tried adding 'NM_CONTROLLED=yes' to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1
but still am not able to get it to work.
As I cannot connect to the internet on this device I cannot do any yum
reinstalls.
Are you certain the device is still called em1? As root, try ifconfig
-a.
Several revisions ago many network devices were renamed based on the
bus they were on and where they appeared on the bus. For example, my
old eth0 got renamed p4p1. My wlan0 card was also a candidate,
so I added a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to
keep the old wlan0 name. The rule looks like:
# PCI device 0x8086:0x008a (iwlagn)
SUBSYSTEM==net, ACTION==add, DRIVERS==?*,
ATTR{address}==bc:77:37:51:11:5c, ATTR{dev_id}==0x0,
ATTR{type}==1, KERNEL==wlan*, NAME=wlan0
You could do something similar. Note that the bc:77:37:51:11:5c
is the MAC address of my wireless card. You can extract that from the
ifconfig -a data...it's the thing listed after ether in the listing.

It's most often used now for ACPI operations. If you're getting that message, make sure the various ACPI options are enabled in your BIOS (these are the things affecting the power usage...ACPI = Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The system polls the various IRQs to see if a device responds on them. If not, you get the nobody cared message (no hardware was using that IRQ) and life goes on.

You'd need to ask on the pulseaudio and Phonon development lists. My guess is that the categories phonon suggests correspond to some of the 'media.role' values: http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/proplist_8h.html#a06b7c7a5bfc7a20974b7785031169596 (with notifications=event and communication=phone), but 'flash' probably counts as animation (assuming a media role is set at all), which isn't listed in my audio playback dropdown within phonon. Have you tried setting the overall 'audio playback' order? I appreciate that may mess up other stuff for you, but wondering if it makes a difference. It might be possible to override the type flash gets, but you'd need to put it in your .bash_login or something, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/Developer/Clients/ApplicationProperties/#pa_prop_media_role more sensibly it would be fairly straightforward for someone familiar with the code to add the animation type to phonon, could be filed as a RFE with KDE.

Just curious. /M. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Does 'YUM install' always install the latest app version?
Hi there, This is a probably stupid question, but I never checked what strategy yum uses. If I do yum install firefox on a freshly installed F19 system, and the initial version of FIrefox on F19 (the one shipped on the LiveCD) is, say, 21.0, but the latest update on the repos is, say, Firefox 23.0. Does yum install firefox directly fetch FF 23.0.x, or does it install the baseline browser (21.0) and then on the next yum update firefox jump to 23?. Thanks in advance.

Making yum say what mirror it is downloading from
Any idea why yum doesn't show by default from what mirror it is downloading from? It's not like there's no space on the output strings layout...

The current mirror is not displayed 2.

It seems like a nice RFE with no downsides I can think of, and trivial to implement. Thoughts? Comments? Expletives? ;-).
