Unable to keep HWCLOCK,localtime,UTC along several OSs and partitions.
by luis redondo
I have several operative systems on disk partitions.With the hour change to European Summertime days agoFedora16 and OpenSUSE are 1 hour less than the right time,the other OSs (Ubuntus,Debian,Solaris etc. are OK).
On Fedora16(and OpenSUSE) when I do in Terminal: hwclock ; date ; date --utc I get:
8:53:42 PM WEST20:53:41 WEST 201219:53:41 WEST 2012
On Ubuntu(which presents the time OK) I get:
sudo hwclock ; date ; date --utcTue 03 Apr 2012 05:42:26 PM WEST -0.032786 secondsTue Apr 3 18:42:25 WEST 2012Tue Apr 3 17:42:25 UTC 2012
Here the hardware clock equals UTC and on Fedora and OpenSUSE NOT.More,when I fix the time on OpenSUSE and Fedora the other operative systemstime become WRONG.
How can I fix this?

long boot process
by Matej Kosik
Hi,
I use Fedora 16 on my laptop (Asus K50IJ).
When I turn it on, in the middle of the boot procedure, there is
annoying pause (roughly 20 seconds) when there is no progress.
On the console, this happens right after:
"Started Recreate Volatile Files and Directories [OK]"
message.
I am not sure which message follows (and might be tight with the
problem) because once boot procedure resumes, the following message
quickly scrolls off the screen.
I am not sure how to provide more information or be able to change/get
rid of the problematic step. I am sure there is a directory with a list
of scripts burried somewhere but I am not sure where.
Thanks in advance.

Possible infection of /sbin/init
by Aaron Konstam
When I chkrootkit on my F16 machine I get a response:
Searching for Suckit rootkit .. Warning:/sbin/init INFECTED
I assume since init is only a link to systemd
this sounds serious. I am an a system isolated from the Internet by a
router. What should my reaction to this be?

F17: ruby gems now being installed to /usr/local?
by Julian C. Dunn
I'm testing out some Ruby packages on F17 and I'm finding that all the
gems installed via "rubygems" are being installed to /usr/local,
instead of /usr, as it was under F16. Any idea where I might find this
configuration knob, and any ideas as to why it changed?

Changing home broke samba
by Rod McCown
Running samba on F14 so that my wife can use her home directory as extra
space for her XP desktop. I recently got some SCSI drives and an
UltraIII card, so I mirrored 2 of the drives, copied the home
directories to the mirrored device, changed the /etc/fstab, rebooted
successfully with home directories on a mirrored device, but samba is
now broken and I'm having a hard time getting it to work again. smb.conf
only wanted to see "/home/<user>" and that didn't change. Any ideas why?
Thanks.

Problem while upgrading 15--16 with yum
by DB
Hi all,
Hope someone can help me (again!!).
I'm trying to upgrade my desktop from F15 to F16 using
yum --releasever=16 distro-sync (with an added --skip-broken)
(same as I did on my laptop without problems) & after several minutes of
lists of packages to be updated, the system comes to a screeching halt
with the following messages:
> Error: Protected multilib versions: GConf2-gtk-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64 != GConf2-gtk-2.32.3-1.fc15.x86_64
> Error: Protected multilib versions: libsepol-2.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 != libsepol-2.0.42-2.fc15.x86_64
> Error: Protected multilib versions: GConf2-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64 != GConf2-2.32.3-1.fc15.x86_64
> You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I tried the suggested rpm line & tried again, but always the same errors
appear, I tried to remove the packages with yum but would have ended up
erasing the whole system....
Can anyone please suggest a way round my error situation???????
As ever, many thanks in advance!!

What does this mean
by Roger
I was browsing a site in Firefox and a page black site with a green logo
opened that said "Hacked by Nobody".
I read about the Nobody group in the Daniel Domsschiet-Berg book "Inside
Wikileaks" but do not know the relevance for me seeing that web page.
Can someone please explain this, is it something to be concerned about?
If so what steps should I take?
There is nothing on my pc of any interest to any one and I can find no
key loggers of note. I do not know what else to look for.
I am working in a voluntary capacity on a remote server setting up a
number of drupal sites, would these be in danger please?
Thanks in advance

developing LSB-certified applications
by Hiisi
Hi, list!
In ubuntu repositories there's a package called lsb-dev. The package
includes lsbcc to compile lsb-3.1 compatible applications. yum search
provides only redhat-lsb on fedora 16 and there's no such thing as
lsbcc. Lsb-plugin for eclipse doesn't work on my system. What is the
best way to develop lsb-compatible applications on fedora? Currently
my c++ application doesn't pass test by lsb-check-app utility, mainly
because a lot of non-lsb-libraries included during compilation.
