earphone problems

2016-05-25 Thread George R Goffe
Hi,

I'm trying to use an old set of Logitech earphones on my Fedora 23 system. I 
use mplayer to play videos WITH audio tracks. This used to work with Fedora 22 
and earlier but now the earphones don't work. I use 
/usr/bin/gnome-control-center to adjust settings and to a minimal test from 
various sources. All devices tested produce sound. I'm missing something here 
but can't seem to figure out just what that is.

Can I get someone to give me some hints/clues/tips/suggestions please?

Regards,

George...

I have tried to respond to this message a number of times without
success due, at least in part, to problems with my ISP's email system,
presently when I try to send that particular responding message to the
list via gmail instead of the Wildblue.net I get:

"Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the
server for the recipient domain wildblue.net by mx.wildblue.net.
[69.168.102.194].

The error that the other server returned was:
554 5.7.1 [P4] Message blocked due to spam content in the message."

The rejection may be down to how you're sending.  The address you use in
your "from" field may be checked by the servers your posting through, to
see if they want to allow it.  So, trying to post from a gmail account
through a wildblue SMTP server may just not work (though that seems a
particularly dumb domain for an ISP to block).

.

The advantage to posting through gmail is that I get an error message 
indicating the message is rejected by the wildblue mail server and a 
reason for rejection, spam in the case at hand. Sending the same message 
through the wildblue mail server produces no notice that the message has 
simply been dropped. I don't know what's happened until I see it has not 
shown up on the users list ...


My ISP is wildblue but they sold to Viasat and they, wildblue, are 
essentially just re-selling Viasat service. I've had this account for a 
bit more than ten years, initially wildblue had their own mail server 
and even provided space I could use to "paste" files, that was a plus.


After a few years they changed the e-mail to google, my address remained 
the same but I lost the paste-server. Gmail did a good job otherwise, 
their spam filtering seemed to work well.


More recently google stopped handling their e-mail and they are now 
providing Zimbra e-mail. The spam filtering is not as good, I rely on 
Thunderbird to filter a lot of it and even worse it is now taking out 
messages I want.


Getting these problems corrected is difficult, user contact is through 
"tech support" and tech support has no control over the spam filtering, 
they just take complaints and "escalate" them to some higher authority 
offering no ticket number or means of tracking the problem by the user ...


I can get good e-mail service with Thunderbird by using Gmail instead 
but that produces new mail addresses
which creates more problems and we are hesitant to do that since it 
involves a large number of correspondents.


Your suggestion of Fastmail.com or something similar looks like a 
possible solution if we can endure the address change. I will consider 
trying that.


Bob



Also, as your mail goes through the internet, it passes through several
servers, that may do the same check.  And decide that mail written from
some domain ought to originate from it.

Gmail, itself, might do the same.  Deciding that some other SMTP server
is not an authorised poster for gmail mail.

See:  DNS SPF records for futher enlightenment/confusion.

While it's laudible to take steps to stop the sending of mail, I've yet
to come across any system that doesn't cause breakage for non-spammers.
Particularly when you have to work around a bad ISP.

It seems to be yet another push towards making people do their mail
through a website, and that's nearly the worst way to do it.


It appears the "spam" is the url's for several screenshots I included in my 
message.

When sent via Wildblue there is no error message, apparently it is
just spam and dumped without notice.

Okay, the spam checker may be erroneous, I don't like them for that
reason.  They can get overzealous, and decide that everything from some
domain is spam, regardless of the actual content.

SMTP blocking of spam can only really deal with it in two ways, without
generating more spam.  Silently kill it, or refuse to accept it during
the sending process (your mail program will fail during the attempt, and
may or may not show you an error response from the server).  If it were
to accept it, assess it, and try to reject it back to the sender
(afterwards), it'd look at the "from" address and return it there.
Spammers have been faking the "from" address for many years, so their
spam will either spam whoever they sent it to, or whomever's "from"
address they faked.


In addition I found that they had disabled my e-mail account which
lead to problems with my list subscription, the whole mess has been a
nightmare with a lot of time spent on the telephone. There has been no
explanation for any of this.

Could be an automated response from all the failed attempt to use it.

Some ISPs mail server is abysmal, and it can be well worth getting your
own domain name and using it with a professional mail service (ones that
know what they're doing, and let their customers do mail properly).
There are some inexpensive ones.  e.g. I believe Fastmail.

systemd/sendmail problem - seeking help!

2016-05-25 Thread Timothy Murphy
I'm running Fedora-24(beta)/KDE,
and sendmail/email (through KMail) is failing.
When I try to send email I get the warning "Failed to transmit message",
and journalctl has the entry 
"sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?) 
  after start:  No such file or directory".

I've checked, and sendmail.pid is in place: 
==
[tim@william ~]$ sudo cat /run/sendmail.pid 
2829 
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h 
== 

Googling for the journalctl entry,
I see people have been encountering this problem for years.
But I haven't seen any solution offered.
Several of the comments suggest that it is a systemd problem.

If anyone can offer advice, or even elucidation, I should be most grateful.

Sounds like it's time to do something like it.  You've mentioned years
of annoying changes, bad mail handling, bad spam handling, bad support
services, etc.  If you can find a good mail host that you like, I think
you're going to appreciate it quite a lot.

I have my own domain name, and for some time was happy with my host, but
then they changed something, and messed me about.  So I upped sticks and
shifted to another host.  They recently got bought out, and are annoying
me, so I'll be looking to change, again.  Since it's my domain, I can
shift it and keep all my addresses, nothing changes but where the
service runs from.

One thing to be cautious about is going to some all-in-one web-hosting
service.  Many of them offer a combined website with X number of email
addresses.  Quite often, they only thing they really care about is the
web-serving, and the email hosting is an afterthought.

Though I've not had trouble with that aspect, other people have.  The
typical thing is a service provider not really caring about spammers in
their midst, until they get blacklisted.  Since all their customers
share IP addresses, one bastard ruins it for everyone.  It can take some
time to get de-listed.  A mail service provider, on the other hand, is
primarily concerned about mail working, and should have taken steps to
kill spam before it can get through their system, and is highly
motivated not to get blacklisted, in the first place.

For what it's worth, many ISPs are blacklisted, especially the big ones.
Huge number of customers will include many infested machines, never mind
those deliberately spamming.  So it's a thing that often goes un-noticed
by many users.  It's another of those "the computer didn't do what I
wanted" experiences.

Could be that mplayer's own volume controls are turned down.  In the
command line, I think it's the - and = hotkeys to go down/up (check the
man file).

With pulse-audio, there also seems to be a per-application storage of
volume controls.  So if you turn the volume down too far while playing
something, it stays that way the next time you run that same
application.

There's also the problem of some dopey things that as soon as the volume
control goes very low, they also mute the channel.  But they don't
un-mute the channel if you try turning the volume up again.

So, look at the hardware mixer.  e.g. Run "alsamixer" in the command
line, cursor left and right to check all sources that may be off the
edge of the screen, un-mute and raise volumes.

Do the same with pulseaudio (with my old Gnome/Mate desktops, right
click the audio volume icon, and bring up the preferences).  You can
select where the sound goes out (if you have more than one device), and
the applications tab lets you control volume levels from individual
applications.  Start mplayer playing a long file, and delve through the
level settings.

DNF group install of "KDE Plasma Desktop" fails

2016-05-25 Thread Weiner, Michael
I am trying to install the KDE Plasma Desktop on a fresh installation of Fedora 
23 via the Live image and it keeps throwing up dependencies for xorg-x11-drv 
packages that do not exist. I have a couple F23 installs laying around here and 
they arent installed on any of them, nor are they up in the public repository 
(http://mirror.cs.princeton.edu/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/releases/23/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/x/).
 And what is even odder, is that everyting I try to run 'dnf groupinstll "KDE 
Plasma Desktop" it comes back with another xorg-x11-drv package it says it cant 
find, and neither can i. Here is what it is doing:

Then you're on the wrong mailing list. For general F24 issues, use the
Fedora Test list (F24 isn't released yet). For KDE issues the Fedora
KDE list deals with both current and unreleased versions.

I agree that that is the theoretical position.
However, people have had the same problem on Fedora 23,
and virtually all versions of Fedora for the last couple of years,
so I doubt if it has anything to do with Fedora-24.

Do you really think there is likely to be some development
with Fedora-24 before it comes out officially
that will affect this issue.
I think it is very unlikely.

I will try on the Fedora Test list,
though my experience is that the chance of getting a helpful answer there
to a question like this is very low.

If in fact the issue has something to do with systemd -
which seems the general opinion -
I would have hoped that someone who can play with systemd
in a sensible way might be able to suggest a solution.

I wonder also.

In my dnf history, the oldest copr- related items are updates
last August.  The total dnf history goes back to September 2014
while running Fedora 20.  So they must have been introduced
before then.  Why I have no recollection!

I believe you have just defined the empty set :-).

But for a (possibly) useful suggesting, you might try
my technique for working around utter failures in systemd
(which always seem to have something to do with networked
services).

I make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.local is set to executable and
add lines like this to the end:

/bin/bash -c 'sleep 5 ; systemctl restart ypbind.service' > /dev/null 2>&1 < 
/dev/null &

That starts one of the many services that normally fails
after a 5 second delay following boot. I have a whole list
of this with increasing delay times.

So now it's found, I'm gonna guess this is your manual attempt at
starting up the array?

What do you get for cat /proc/mdstat at the dracut prompt before you
do anything else? And also the results from

mdstat -E /dev/sda1
mdstate -E /dev/sdb1
blkid

These can be redirected to fpaste or a file. If you have network
access this early it's easiest to redirect to fpaste but I'm not sure
if it's in the initramfs.

From your mdadm.conf, you have UUIDs that do not match what's on the
command line.

cmdline:
rd.md.uuid=5a1848ce:cff64c1f:a622dc1f:e5f06d55

mdadm.conf
UUID=c45384af:aa8fc7ca:7eebaeb8:f0ca1523
UUID=524079c6:521ca76f:126164a9:3232e116

Looks like the mdadm.conf is stale and should be recreated, and
recreate the initramfs. Thing is, the rd.md.uuid ought to be enough
for dracut to startup that array, the mdadm.conf is really just about
assigning a particular md array to a particular /dev/mdX assignment,
which by the way has changed recently so there might be confusion
going on there.

You might just try renaming the current mdadm.conf, or commenting out
all of the lines, except for one:

ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=5a1848ce:cff64c1f:a622dc1f:e5f06d55

And after saving it, use dracut -f.

Definitely sounds similar.
Try putting "options snd-hda-intel enable=1,0" into 
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-hdmi.conf and then reboot.


Also, is there anything related in the journal logs?

Unclear in what way?  I think that should disable the HDMI audio, try

I am wondering why you ask the question?

The host name is redwood.

I don't have any idea if it makes a difference, but if you need to run
pre-release F24 for some reason, you've defined yourself as a tester so
reporting problems in the right place is what you're expected to do.

I wonder also.

In my dnf history, the oldest copr- related items are updates
last August.  The total dnf history goes back to September 2014
while running Fedora 20.  So they must have been introduced
before then.  Why I have no recollection!

Unless someone suggests otherwise, I'll probably erase the
entire copr set + dependencies.

Do you do copr builds?  If so, you might want to keep copr-cli. 
Otherwise, yes, you can remove them all.

Thanks for the suggestion, which I shall try out later.
For the moment, I've installed Thunderbird,
and am sending email through Tbird and reading email through KMail.

I needed a quick replacement, and forgot gmail 
which also solved the problem.

For the umteenth time, I'm wondering if it is time
to give up KMail ...

I am running F24 (beta) because plasma kept crashing in F23,
and I found it didn't crash in F24.
I certainly don't define myself as a "tester",
and my only aim is to run a mail client that works.

I tried this; there was a large amount of output,

It's embedded in the mdadm superblock, and it might be initrd based
auto-activation (metadata 1.x and higher) may fail if the actual host
name and the one in the superblock don't match. There is a way to
update this information at assemble time with mdadm --assemble
--update=

But that might be a distraction.

I use Sendmail with Systemd on Centos-7 without difficulty. I realize
that Centos-7 is somewhat far frmo Fedora, but at least they are
cousins, so there ought to be at least a little value in knowing
it can be done.

Thanks for the response.
Can I avoid using sendmail for outgoing mail on KMail in that way?

Is kmail actually using the sendmail server on localhost?  Or is it just 
using the sendmail command to send the email message out?  In that case, 
you could just disable the sendmail service as it's not even being used. 
 But yes, postfix would work just as well either way.



Assuming that is not acceptable, what does "systemctl status sendmail"
show?


I just tried this again, and I get much the same error message:
---
[tim@william ~]$ sudo systemctl status sendmail
  sendmail.service - Sendmail Mail Transport Agent
...


Did you remove some lines here?  They were the ones I was looking for.


Open a couple of terminal windows, run "tail
-f/var/log/audit/audit.log" in one and "journalctl -f --all" in the
other.  Then try "systemctl restart sendmail" and see what output you
get from that and what shows up in those other terminal windows.


I tried this; there was a large amount of output,
but the only thing that struck me was the same journalctl message again:
  sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?)
after start: No such file or directory
and the following, repeated several times
  May 25 23:14:52 william.gayleard.com ksmserver[1395]:

I was more interested in if there was anything significant in the audit.log.

​I am having TONS of problems with f22 (af​

​ter reinstalling it
from DVD media, due to system corruption).
FOr example, after using dnf to install all the
mate packages that were previously installed (I had saved
the names of those packages in a different drive).
I had no desktop control. Mouse and KB did not work.
The one app that automatically came up (due to
settings of the mate env) was firefox , and for some
reason KB within the FF window worked, but nowhere else.
​yara ... yara ...yara..

When it rains problems, it pours :)

Do this still. Then assemble the array manually as you have been and
continue the boot normally.

These are easier done after basic target is reached, rather than at
the dracut shell. Also, the first two have bad typos so here's the
revised version:

mdadm -E /dev/sda[12]
mdadm -D /dev/md[01]
blkid

Skip this for now. I'd rather just collect info rather than change anything.

Okay.  I have figured this out after a lot of digging through Google.

I finally found this page and a post by eileon (Comment: 10)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085922

The problem turned on differences between a file:

/etc/default/grub

and the output of: dracut --print-cmdline

As eileon stated what is given by the output above by dracut, needed to 
be reflected in the /etc/default/grub file before you did ran:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

and then:

dracut -f

The problem I had was in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in the 
/etc/default/grub file.  The first rd.md.uuid was supposed to be the 
uuid for the Linux RAID member disks that make up the mdraid devices 
from which you want to boot.

The second rd.md.uuid that pointed to the RAID member disks used for 
the root filesystems and LVM was missing!

Correcting both rd.md.uuid entries to reflect the correct devices 
in that file and running dracut -f before rebooting resolved my 
problem.

Thank you Chris for your assistance and pointing me in the right 
direction.

Cheers!
Bill
