I don't.
I didn't know about keytabs, and am reading 

to learn something about them.

At the moment I'm not clear what advantage keytabs have.
I do not have to login after "ssh -Y ..."
as I have appended id_rsa.pub to known_hosts in each direction.

Re: rsync errors (selinux?)

2013-11-25 Thread Wolfgang S. Rupprecht

ok, I think I see what happened.

/home/wolfgang/.config/google-chrome-unstable/Default/Extensions/_hidden_/0.0.5.0_0/_locales/lt/messages.json

The contexts on the source machine are messed up.  I recall when I did a
"yum distro-sync" that I got an error message between the rpm's for
selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted about the policy file build
failing.  I yum erased both rpms (not knowing which caused the error
msg) and re-installed them both.  I didn't get an error that second time
so I figured all went well.  Subsequent "restorecon -rv /home" completed
without error, so I figured all was well.

Off to google as to how to rebuild the policy file...

[389-users] Upgrade failure

2013-11-25 Thread Gordon Messmer
On Friday, I updated one of several systems that I manage from version 
1.2.11.15 to version 1.2.11.25.  Thereafter, the service was unable to 
start.  The error indicates a problem with SSL that I don't understand. 
 I've included the relevant section from the "error" log below.


After reverting to the old package, the service starts again.

Does anyone understand this error and have a pointer on resolving it?

"--output" selects a particular output mode, so it should work.
Move a 'monitors.xml' so it doesn't interfere with setup,
$ mv $HOME/.config/monitors.xml $HOME/.config/monitors.xml-backup
and disable that session script of yours.
Check what's happening via '/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log'

FWIW, I'm absolutely in love with Gnome3. Best thing ever happened to UI.

That said, it would be nice indeed if users had a choice during
installation, something simple like 3 screenshots to choose from.


There are around a dozen choices here -  GNOME (Shell and Classic), KDE, Xfce,
MATE,  LXDE,  Sugar,  GNU Step, Cinnamon, Enlightenment (both 17 and 16) and so
on.  It is hardly going to be simple to present 3 screenshots.   The DVD image
does have a few of them but it really is a waste of space to include all of
them.  Just install it from the repository or download the specific spin you 
want

Perhaps this has been stated badly, the issue is that if a user doesn't know 
about the other options, or has small hardware, he can't "Just install" at all. 
If there were just a screen to offer any one of the light weight UI choices and 
warn that GNOME is not optimal for the hardware, that would do it. Only a few k 
of screen code, don't need more UI options that are present now, but even the 
two or three now present would be fine with thumbnails. Just default to 
something which will work on the system being installed, I'm certainly not 
asking for more than that. I admit that if MATE was ready for serious use when I 
went to XFCE I would have used that, but it's hardly work changing at this 
point, for my usage practices.


Sorry if it sounded as if we ere asking for more than warning the user if GNOME 
won't work.

The requirements for the installer is more than any desktop environment in
Fedora making Fedora not really a good choice for lower end systems anyway.


Other than GNOME not running well on low end video, I haven't seen any issues 
with the installer through FC18, anyway. The upgrade process seems troubled (see 
my other thread) but the install has been good to me, all the way down to a 
laptop running a Pentium-M setup (which I love for its 17in screen and perfect 
touch on the keyboard). I have four ATOM system, none of which cost more than 
$300 to buy or build, and they work fine on 18, will try 19 one of these days. 
Not for gaming, and probably heavy graphics, rendering, etc, but for mail and 
browsing normal websites I have no issues. One handles two security cameras and 
a 8TB RAID array for backups, another is a firewall, etc.


Caution noted, I'm aware that there are limitations, but a lot of us have modest 
graphics needs and if XFCE will install, that's all we need.

Maybe what we need is a "beginner's spin" that gives you a choice of DE, but
grays out any choices that your system can't handle.  It would probably have to
be based on the full DVD installation, but with a specially modified version of
Anaconda that checks your CPU, RAM, video and so on, to make sure that it offers
you the correct choices.


That is a brilliant idea, but why a beginners spin? Why shouldn't a major choice 
like UI deserve a screen at startup. And values which are unlikely to work could 
be identified so the installer is warned, giving some hope that at least one 
functional choice will be made. In my opinion every install should add one more 
choice to the boot menu, "boot in VESA (simple) graphics mode." That way people 
who who have video cards which aren't supported by the open source video drivers 
can have a way to use their computers.


Hopefully some features council will actually pick up these ideas and we can see 
them in FC20 or FC21.

The last few upgrades, I went by the yum method.  Despite all the

Hope this helps,

Appreciated! Having just wasted a lot of time with fedup, it may, I'll go check 
the wiki in the morning. On the first try I started with about 2G free, and got 
this:

real1m35.615s
user0m17.963s
sys 0m3.339s
18-fedup-64:root>

Which wasn't obvious, since the error message appears to say I have more than I 
need.


So I cleared more space and tried again, which ran to completion and told me to 
reboot. There was about a GB of stuff in the /var/tmp/fedora-upgrade tree, which 
was encouraging. I did the reboot, and the default boot option was Fedora 
upgrade, which started, put up a screen with a crawling white line, and when 
done booted back into Fedora18. Checking /boot there are no Fedora19 images, and 
/var/tmp/fedora-upgrade is now empty of all the stuff it had there before the 
reboot. Nothing is changed as far as I can see. I got this behavior with both a 
network upgrade and upgrade from an iso image with no visible network activity.



I'm very ready to try the yum method, since fedup is no more functional for me 
than ever, less actually, since it did eventually complete the last time I 
updated these machines.

For this list (thanks be!) and many another, there is an

recommend Pan, available via yum, as newsreader) at news.gmane.org, port

/usr/bin/RandR:

Then when I select the "Display" GUI it offers me 1680x1050 sure enough but 
does not actually select it.

I still have to run my script to get other than 1024x768.

It doesn't seem to pay attention to lightdm.conf?

The default browser *on the computer running the program* is the one 
that gets opened.  Unless you can change the default on the remote host, 
Alpine's behavior won't change.



Like so many other things of late, the software to set default

That depends on the DE.  In Xfce4, it should be under

Default browser

2013-11-25 Thread Beartooth

In the past, I have always set my default browser to Dillo, which 
is very fast and very safe; and it usually shows me at least enough to 
guess reasonably well whether I want to go on, switch to another browser, 
or skip the site. 

I've managed to make it a partial default (under xfce4 in F18). 
Pan, for instance, routinely opens links in Dillo. Alpine, however, does 
not. (I run Alpine on a remote host, over ssh; is that relevant? It does

It's not quite that bad. I was able to do a succesful install of f20 (games

needs a more powerful video card than some other desktops. So while I 
agree that Fedora isn't the best distro for low resource machines, there 
is still an area where it is usable on the lighter weight desktops, but 
not gnome.

Re: Re: Display setting problem -

2013-11-25 Thread Richard Sewill
I hesitate trying to answer this question because what I am doing may be
wrong.

I tried the following on F18.

I edited the line, found in file /etc/default/grub, which starts
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 ... rhgb quiet"
appending strings so it had
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 ... rhgb quiet"
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin video=VGA-1:e

I next edited any existing lines in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg that had the
string "rhgb quiet" to include the
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin video=VGA-1:e
string which I since learned is the wrong things to do.

>From my limited understanding, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is auto-generated using
/etc/default/grub each time /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is recreated.
I should have used the grub2-mkconfig command instead of editing
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg directly.

I got this idea reading
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Mode_Setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID
and
https://www.osadl.org/Single-View.111+M5b7fe294ea7.0.html

In my case I wish to run a headless server, but wish to have Linux believe
there is a certain size window if I vnc into the server using x11vnc on the
server.
My vnc client happens to run on a laptop with a screen size, 1024x768.

I do not know if you need the video=VGA-1:e because you indicated you have
a monitor connected.
I do not know if you can use one of the four standard timings that are
hard-coded in the driver.
Please note: there are notes saying this works only with certain drivers.
I am using the nouveau driver.
I don't know if this works if you are using the nvidia driver; a note in
one of the URLs said it did not work with the nvidia driver at one time.

Please save any files before editing.  You and I don't know if this will
work for you.  It's best to play it safe and have backups just in case.

Well, I agree but I simply reply in Firefox and by typing
www.gmail.com and nothing else!! This is the only way I do. Once I
log-in, I don't log-out ever (unless I have to check other gmail
account also, which I rarely use) and even if I have to use PC in
two-three days, I get directly Inbox because I didn't log out earlier!
I know since I am using Linux and with the addons like No Script, this
all is secured even when I am not logged out. But really I never
thought such technical aspects which are written above!

Install and configure FreeIPA on your network. That will let you manage

ssh "GSSAPIAuthentication yes"

2013-11-25 Thread Timothy Murphy
I see that in /etc/ssh/ssh_config I have the above setting
in both Fedora-19 and CentOS-6.4 .
In both cases ssh (openssh) tries and fails to use gssapi-with-mic
authentication, with the message
===
Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
No Kerberos credentials available
===
It then goes on to use publickey authentication, successfully.

As far as I can see, this is because openssh has over-ridden
the default
  #   GSSAPIAuthentication no
with
GSSAPIAuthentication yes

I've googled for this, and see that some people recommend
reverting to the default No.
But I assume openssh has some reason for making this change.

What would I do if I actually wanted to use GSSAPIAuthentication?

2013-11-25 Thread Ed Greshko
I'm on an F19 system running KDE and wanting to install kde-plasma-nm-l2tp.  
One of its dependencies is NetworkManager-l2tp which is pulling in kernel-debug 
and kernel-debug-modules-extra.

Does anyone know why this would be the case?

I've seen this behaviour before on Windows guests with incorrect HAL
(non-ACPI) causing the guests to basically busy spin on the CPUs ...

I had to rebuild the box with an appropriate HAL to get it to behave
sanely...

Incidentally your performance in that guest will always be fairly poor due
to a lack of virtio drivers and windows 2000 has been out of support for a
few years now ... you really should not be using it in general...
