Ubuntu 10.10's installer looks rather nice

You absolutely can automate it, using the same preseeding mechanism found in debian-installer. See the following wiki page for the differences between preseeding ubiquity and preseeding the alternate CD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation And the following guide on preseeding, if you are unfamiliar with that: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html Note that you can use a subset of kickstart with the Ubuntu alternate CD (debian-installer) via kickseed. It's technically possible and relatively easy to include this translation in ubiquity, but it has never been implemented. As for being able to do the install remotely, I do installs over PXE and NFS using the Ubuntu live CD all the time.

ethtool not in default system anymore?
by Chris Adams 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

I noticed that ethtool is not in the default install anymore (probably for a release or so, but I didn't notice it until now). Why is that? It is the only tool that can show and configure a variety of network device options, such as speed/duplex negotiation, wake-on-LAN, and TCP offloading. There is support in the ifcfg-eth* files for calling it as part of interface setup (don't know if that's carried forward to NM, should be considered a bug in NM if not). Is there a replacement that I'm not aware of? I have run into flakey switches and such where you have to force speed/duplex to communicate (yes, such switches are crap, but when it isn't your network, you don't get to choose). Not having a tool to do that already installed makes it impossible to fix. -- Chris Adams <cmadams(a)hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Any comments about the latest version of mono on my site?
by Paul F. Johnson 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi, A couple of days back I uploaded preview 8 of mono-2.8 for comments but have heard nothing back. The move to 2.8 will require a good number of rebuilds as 2.8 has had all the .NET 1.1 stuff removed. If you have a mono reliant package, can you please rebuild and let me know if there are any problems. If I submit to rawhide now there will be a tonne of breakages and I'd rather avoid that if possible. URLS http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/libgdiplus-2.8-1.fc15.src.rpm and http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/mono-2.8-1.fc15.src.rpm Paul -- Vertraue mir, ich weiss, was ich mache...

Maven 3 srpm & binary rpms for testing
by Stanislav Ochotnicky 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi everyone, Quite a few people from Java SIG are responsible for this early version of maven3 rawhide rpms. Please try them out if you can for building your projects. This release is installable parallel to current maven2 so if any problems with maven2 appear after installing this version let me know. One caveat: there is no mvn3-jpp yet. I'll be working on it over the course of next few days. The command to run is mvn3. SRPM: http://sochotni.fedorapeople.org/maven-3.0-1.fc13.src.rpm RPM: http://sochotni.fedorapeople.org/maven-3.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm You will need several dependencies that are currently under review. aether: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641967 (review done) sisu: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641390 (waiting) google-guice: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640992 (review done) -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky(a)redhat.com> Associate Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 71A1677C Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com

libgpod 0.8.0 in F13
by Nathaniel McCallum 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

I've just tagged libgpod 0.8.0 for F13 updates-testing. This is the first step to an updated Banshee (1.8.0) in F13 as well as better iPhone/iPad support in the existing Rhythmbox. I'd really like to get some testing on this, so please, if you are using updates-testing and have any Apple-brand device, please check to see that your device will successfully sync with Rhythmbox with the new libgpod. Thanks! Nathaniel

Selinux: SSH broken after F-13 --> F-14 upgrade
by Michal Hlavinka 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi all, I've recently upgraded my system, but after that I was not able to connect through ssh. More things are wrong (from my POV): 1)SELinux blocks all nondefault ports for ssh I have ssh confugured to use different port than 22 for security reasons and I think there is a lot of people doing that. Question: Is it worth blocking all ports for ssh? 2)SELinux did not show any sealert warning about this. Running sealert -b shows no problem. There is one message in /var/log/messages: kernel: [90346.301108] type=1400 audit(1286901219.350:29): avc: denied { name_bind } for pid=6830 comm="sshd" src=6520 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket Question: This should be reported afaik, so it's a bug, right? 3)After checking /var/log/boot.log there is "Starting ssh ... [ OK ]". I get the same success info after "service sshd start", but immediate service sshd status returns "openssh-daemon is stopped", but I'm not sure if this is fixable because all that daemonize and other stuff. Question: What does other network daemons (httpd,...) do? Do they start successfully (from initscript's POV) when they can't use configured port? I'm really glad I've found this out before updating my headless F-12 server. 2 of 3 questions are about SELinux, ccing Dan. Michal

The Ubuntu installer does let you use a NFS root for your installation source. On the point of needing something more complex, such as LVM or full disk encryption, that's what we offer our alternate CD installer (debian-installer) for. I'm not challenging your point that the Fedora installer offers more complex options. I just wanted to clarify our approach, as our users are not screwed in these circumstances, we just clearly separate their use cases to different CDs.
