Fedora 18
by Roger 29 May '13

29 May '13

I think my Fedora 18 uses nautilus for file management, but it may be nemo, I've never taken any notice. I'm wondering if I can set a default somewhere so that when opening ruby .rb and .erb rails files in my Rails development directory it will default to using Geany instead of GEdit. Is there somewhere to set these default please I have looked in .config/geany /nautilus /nemo and .local with no luck. Thanks in advance Roger

F18: Can't install new GPG keys for YUM
by Kevin Cummings 29 May '13

29 May '13

The quick history of this laptop: Its a Dell Inspiron 1100 (Celeron/Pentium 4 i686 CPU, Intel GPU: > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) Booted from the F17 LiveCD (Gnome, I think). Everything worked. Used the install to Disk option to install F17 to disk. Ran yum update to update the F17 install. Added a number of 3rd party repositories: adobe-linux-i386 atrpms city-fan.org dropbox google-chrome remi rpmfusion-free rpmfusion-free-updates rpmfusion-nonfree rpmfusion-nonfree-updates Each of these installed a GPG key and works fine. Used FEDUP to upgrade to F18. I followed the directions on the fedoraproject wiki, and everything seemed to go smoothly. F18 boots and runs no problem (well, almost no problem). This laptop seems to have problems suspending and hibernating correctly, or more correctly, resuming from them. Lately, it has had problem completing the suspend or hybernation. But, that's another problem. One of the things I wanted to try was tuxonice. I found the repo at: http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/suspend2.repo and tried to use it. I get GPG key errors. here is the bulk of the repo file: > [suspend2] > name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Software Suspend 2 kernels and utilities > baseurl=http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/yum/fc$releasever > #baseurl=http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/yum/el5 > enabled=1 > > # enable gpgcheck for Core 5 and higher and use > # rpm --import http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/SUSPEND2-RPM-KEY > # (since the packages are signed with my old PGP v2/RSA key, the check will > # fail for Core 3 and 4, sorry.) > gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-suspend2 > gpgcheck=1 When I try and install something from the repository, I get an error relating to the GPG key: > # yum -y install freetype-static > Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, ps, refresh-packagekit > suspend2 | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > * city-fan.org: www.city-fan.org > * fedora: fedora.mirror.constant.com > * remi: mirror5.layerjet.com > * rpmfusion-free: mirror.us.leaseweb.net > * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.us.leaseweb.net > * rpmfusion-nonfree: mirror.us.leaseweb.net > * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: mirror.us.leaseweb.net > * updates: fedora.mirror.constant.com > Resolving Dependencies > --> Running transaction check > ---> Package freetype-static.i686 0:2.4.10-2.fc18.cubbi1 will be installed > --> Finished Dependency Resolution > > Dependencies Resolved > > ============================================================================================================================== > Package Arch Version Repository Size > ============================================================================================================================== > Installing: > freetype-static i686 2.4.10-2.fc18.cubbi1 suspend2 320 k > > Transaction Summary > ============================================================================================================================== > Install 1 Package > > Total size: 320 k > Installed size: 734 k > Downloading Packages: > warning: /var/cache/yum/i386/18/suspend2/packages/freetype-static-2.4.10-2.fc18.cubbi1.i686.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID 22b2951d: NOKEY > Retrieving key from http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/SUSPEND2-RPM-KEY > Importing GPG key 0x22B2951D: > Userid : "Matthias Hensler <matthias(a)wspse.de>" > Fingerprint: 2e08 ff64 ea37 c253 1397 e1fe ab15 76af > From : http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/SUSPEND2-RPM-KEY > > > Key import failed (code 2) > > > Failing package is: freetype-static-2.4.10-2.fc18.cubbi1.i686 > GPG Keys are configured as: http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/SUSPEND2-RPM-KEY OK, so I try the old fashion way to install the key: > # rpm -vv --import http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/SUSPEND2-RPM-KEY > D: loading keyring from pubkeys in /var/lib/rpm/pubkeys/*.key > D: couldn't find any keys in /var/lib/rpm/pubkeys/*.key > D: loading keyring from rpmdb > D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm cdb:0x401 > D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages 0x400 mode=0x0 > D: locked db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages > D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Name 0x400 mode=0x0 > D: read h# 264 Header sanity check: OK > D: added key gpg-pubkey-1aca3465-4f0c91e2 to keyring > D: read h# 830 Header SHA1 digest: OK (35dcaead230dffc03234a383e5f3dab9bd46680c) > D: added key gpg-pubkey-de7f38bd-501f4964 to keyring > D: read h# 904 Header sanity check: OK > D: added key gpg-pubkey-7fac5991-4615767f to keyring > D: read h# 974 Header sanity check: OK > D: added key gpg-pubkey-5044912e-4b7489b1 to keyring > D: read h# 1096 Header sanity check: OK > D: added key gpg-pubkey-b56a8bac-3bbc4d06 to keyring > D: read h# 1116 Header sanity check: OK > D: added key gpg-pubkey-f6777c67-45e5b1b9 to keyring > D: read h# 1446 Header sanity check: OK > D: added key gpg-pubkey-8296fa0f-4ea867c3 to keyring > D: read h# 1891 Header SHA1 digest: OK (eb95b897727baab8e961ba6a0634a1f433b83c30) > D: added key gpg-pubkey-982e0a7c-4f34288f to keyring > D: Using legacy gpg-pubkey(s) from rpmdb > error: http://mhensler.de/swsusp/download/SUSPEND2-RPM-KEY: key 1 import failed. > D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Name > D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages > D: closed db environment /var/lib/rpm I currently have the following keys installed: > gpg-pubkey-f6777c67-45e5b1b9 > gpg-pubkey-1aca3465-4f0c91e2 > gpg-pubkey-de7f38bd-501f4964 > gpg-pubkey-5044912e-4b7489b1 > gpg-pubkey-7fac5991-4615767f > gpg-pubkey-b56a8bac-3bbc4d06 > gpg-pubkey-982e0a7c-4f34288f > gpg-pubkey-8296fa0f-4ea867c3 Why can't I install any more? -- Kevin J.

Problem with stereo audio stream through VOIP
by Anthony 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hello Everyone, Anytime I'm in a VOIP conversation, the user can hear themselves as well as me. It's not normal audio feedback as I can put my headset on and play music with the speakers completely off and they will hear the music. So it sounds like everything that's coming through the stereo mix is being fed back to the remote user. This is also happening on SIP calls to regular phone numbers and is annoying to the remote users. Any way to correct this? Thanks! Anthony Papillion Phone: (918) 533-9699 SIP: 9185339699(a)ekiga.net

Installing Grub2 on /dev/sdc giving warning and an error.
by Aero Maxx D 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi Everyone, I've just installed Fedora 17 as a fresh install and setup Raid 10, its all working, and does boot ok. However when installing grub on each of the 4 drives one of them doesn't like it, or something isn't right and I am not sure what the issue is as the 3 drives don't complain. I have a 500mb raid partition on each of the 4 drives, and then have created a raid 1 device that is mapped to /boot mount point. the rest of the space is also assigned a fixed size and mapped to a raid partition, I have then created a raid device which is mapped to a LVM, and then created the usually group, and the lv_root, lv_swap, lv_home groups within it. I have then done grub2-install /dev/sda, this returned "Installation finished. No error reported" as did /dev/sdb and /dev/sdd. When I did grub2-install /dev/sdc this came back with a warning and a error of the following, then quits back to the prompt, it boots ok is this anything for me to worry about ?. /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible. /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install. Thanks Daniel.

performance issues - NFS (automount) and (almost) diskless client
by Jeffrey Ross 29 May '13

29 May '13

This is my first stab at using the auto mount for NFS and its been a very long time since I've played with NFS. I have two systems running Fedora, the NFS server which is running Fedora 16, and the client which is running Fedora 19 (beta), both are X86_64 The server, it's running RAID-1 (for all partitions including the boot partition, the client has a boot disk but is auto mounting the home directories from the server. The server is also serving window's CIFS shares. (also the home directory to several Windows 7 systems) My /etc/auto.misc entry on the client reads: home -rw,auto,suid,sync server:/home The exports entry looks like: /home 172.18.19.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,sync,no_subtree_check) Network connectivity is 100Mb/s FDX ethernet (through a Cisco 2948 switch) What I am seeing is basic file access is good but when I run a browser (Firefox) on the client I can see a large amount of disk I/O on the server (looking at the HD LED indicator) and performance is sluggish. I suspect its the browser cache files and I could probably pick better options for performance, I think for starters I probably want async instead of sync. The other question, is it possible to leave just the browser cache files locally? I know I can leave the users' home directories local and then mount the NFS directory someplace within the home directory, but that's ugly and its too easy to leave files in the local home directory which defeats the purpose of having a dedicated fileserver. Thanks, Jeff

Who screwed up ClamAV in F18?
by Michael H. Warfield 29 May '13

29 May '13

Ok... (Before anyone tells me I need to) I will be filing a bugzilla report on this later today but someone did a bad thing in ClamAV. If you install the latest packages from the update repositories, they url chunks unable to create the clamupdate user and group. Problem appears to be in the clamav-update package. During the yum install of the clamav packages... -- groupadd [options] GROUP Options: -f, --force exit successfully if the group already exists, and cancel -g if the GID is already used -g, --gid GID use GID for the new group -h, --help display this help message and exit -K, --key KEY=VALUE override /etc/login.defs defaults -o, --non-unique allow to create groups with duplicate (non-unique) GID -p, --password PASSWORD use this encrypted password for the new group -r, --system create a system account -R, --root CHROOT_DIR directory to chroot into useradd: group 'clamupdate' does not exist warning: user clamupdate does not exist - using root warning: group clamupdate does not exist - using root Installing: clamav-filesystem ################### [1522/2490] Installing: clamav-update ################### [1523/2490]/usr/bin/chown: invalid group: ‘root:clamupdate’ No such file or directory warning: %post(clamav-update-0.97.8-1.fc18.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 -- I've had to add that user and group by hand on some of my real systems but that's not possible in building the NST (Network Security Toolkit) <http://www.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nst/index.html> respins of F18 since those are building bootable iso images. Obviously, it only affects fresh installs where someone installs ClamAV on a new system (or, at least, one that hasn't had it on there before). If the UID and GID already exist on the system, there's not a problem. Regards, Mike -- Michael H.

replacing lxdm with slim
by Ranjan Maitra 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi, In Fedora 17 and before, I could successfully replace lxdm with slim just by uninstalling one (lxdm) and installing slim. Doing so in Fedora 18 does not "work". By that, I mean that I do not get the graphical display with slim: instead, I get a text prompt and I have to login with password, following which I have to type startx. Following a load of text I am then put into the LXDE desktop screen. What exactly do I need to do in F18 to get back the "old experience"? Happy to provide more information: I am not sure what would be helpful and where to start. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

lvm from NAS
by Ricardo Mendoza Huerta 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi, I will try to recover some folder deleted from one disk that is part of RAID 1 using Fedora Security Lab scenario: 1. Is a disk from NAS iomega StorCenter ix2 (two disk, RAID 1) 2. this nas was configured to obtain accounts from a Active Directory users 3. with the web interface of the NAS, a shared folder from some user was deleted. 4. this NAS haven't a recovery tool for deleted files and folders. 5. I was attach one of the two disk on Backtrack live then the same disk on Centos and I discover this: - I can't mount the disk (backtrack say me "is a lvm2pv", centos ask me for a disk format) - Disk format: 83 Linux (with centos) - pvscan,vgscan, lvscan don't work properly, because there are no volumes to restore. and this is OK because I don't want to restore the RAID. I need to recover some foldes from this disk, I don't need to reconstruct the RAID 1. How can a do this with FSL I will appreciate your aids. sincerely, Ricardo
