Timezones and SELinux...
by Marko Vojinovic
Hi folks!
// This is a repost from the KDE mailing list, with the hope that more eyes
will see it here... //
After the yum update, both before and after the restart of the system (there
was a new kernel as well), my timezone setting is wrong (again) --- it is set
to Lisbon (GMT), which was my previous setting, rather than Belgrade (GMT+1)
which was my current setting (prior to update). AFAIK, this should not happen
unless I ask for the timezone change.
Second, when I open systemsettings to change the timezone, after clicking
"apply" and giving the root password, the timezone change fails, and SELinux
gives an alert:
===== long quote =====
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from using the
dac_override capability.
***** Plugin dac_override (91.4 confidence) suggests ***********************
If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file
with the wrong permissions on your system
Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and
generate the error again.
Do
Turn on full auditing
# auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w
Try to recreate AVC. Then execute
# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it,
otherwise report as a bugzilla.
***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests ***************************
If you believe that kcmdatetimehelper should have the dac_override capability
by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep kcmdatetimehelp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Somehow I feel that I am not supposed to tweak SELinux policy in order to
change my timezone setting. In the past I would put SELinux into permissive
mode, change the timezone, and then re-enforce SELinux. But the issue keeps
reappearing, so I don't believe that this is the right solution.
Ideas?
Best, :-)

WTH is wrong with PackageKit?
by Mark Haney
Why is it that PackageKit is sitting in the background constantly
leaving me pretty much unable to install any software from the command
line? Did I configure something to make it do that? And how in the
world can I make it stop?

rc.local not loaded on boot
by Bruno Martins
Hello list,
I can read here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Release_Notes/sect-Rel...
the following:
3.2.4. rc.local no longer packaged
The |/etc/rc.d/rc.local| local customization script is no longer
included by default. Administrators who need this functionality merely
have to create this file, make it executable, and it will run on boot.
Upgrades are not affected by this change.
However, in my system this isn't happening.
[skorzen@g62 ~]$ ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 543 Mar 24 22:11 /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[skorzen@g62 ~]$ cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
#exit 0
## Defaults brightness to maximum.
echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
## Enables mousepad tapping in LXDE.
synclient TapButton1=1
## Enables mousepad vertical scrolling in LXDE.
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
#exit 0
However, if I run the file manually, it loads OK.
Can you please give me a tip on this?
Best regards,

dual monitors - one desktop image spanning both?
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
Is it possible to get one backdrop image in F16 to span both monitors in
a dual-monitor setup? I'm using xfce4 and the desktop settings tool
seems to only offer a per-monitor image selection. Is there some way of
selecting one image perhaps from gconfig directly? Ditto for the login
screen. Having the same cloned Verne image on both monitors is kind of
lame. It would look a lot nicer if one image spanned both monitors.

parallel bash scripts
by bruce
hi.
got a couple of test bash scripts.
dog.sh, cat.sh
each script runs the underlying php in an endless loop.
I'm trying to figure out how to run the scripts in parallel, from the
same parent shell script. something like:
test.sh
dog.sh > &2
cat.sh > &2
where dog.sh would be :
--------------------------------
while true
do
pgrep dog
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
/dog.php
fi
sleep 5
done
my current tests, run dog.sh, which runs the dog.php ... but the test
never gets to run cat.sh
thoughts/comments...
thanks

Using CPAN to update perl modules
by Mark Haney
This may sound kinda silly, but it's the first time I've ever really
encountered this before. I'm finding I have a need to update some perl
modules that aren't yet packaged by Fedora. Is using CPAN to update
them going to cause any problems? Are there any caveats to using CPAN
to install other modules not packaged in RPM form?

Re: parallel bash scripts
by Mark LaPierre
I don't understand what you are trying to do.
Do you want to run these commands in series? Run one, wait for it to
complete, then start the other?
If that's where you want to go then leave off the trailing ampersand but
keep the redirection. The output of the first program will appear in
the terminal due to the redirection. When the first program ends the
second program will start. That one needs redirection of standard out
to standard error too so that it's output will appear in the terminal as
well.
Solution with trailing ampersand is appropriate for endless loops.
Solution without trailing ampersand is appropriate for serial operation.
I put the loop counter in the demo program just to stop the thing
without having to us ps and kill. Without the loop counter they will
continue to print inter-twined messages forever.
Does the program webservice_setup.sh start programs itself that you are
trying to read the output from? Are they correctly redirected to send
their standard output to standard error?
