Installing F20 alongside other Linux installs
by Trey Sizemore
I have a 1TB hard drive on which I have a couple of other Linux distros
installed. Distro 1 has its root on /dev/sdb1 and then swap as
/dev/sdb2 with the home partition on dev/sdb5. Distro 2 has its root on
/dev/sdb6, swap on /dev/sdb7, and home on /dev/sdb8.
When I go to install Fedora 20, it sees the free space (about 800GB) on
sdb, but insists on installing the first partition I create for it
(root) on /dev/sdb3. It doesn't appear that this works as the install
fails with insufficient space, but I don't see how to overwrite during
the install the option for the first Fedora partition to be /dev/sdb9
instead (and proceed from there).
Am I missing something? Is this possible?
Thanks.

F21 nm-openvpn and md5
by Zoltan Kota
Hi,
With F21 on, openssl was patched to disallow verification of certificates
that are signed with MD5 algorithm. Until I get our sysadmins generate new
keys I should use the workaround described as: "a temporary measure the
OPENSSL_ENABLE_MD5_VERIFY environment variable can be set to allow
verification of certificates signed with MD5 algorithm."
On my F21 (test)machine I use gnome with Networkmanager(-openvpn). How can
I add the above environment variable for Networkmanager?

need help!
by bruce
Hi.
Got a network of fed/centos boxes.. The boxes are a combination of
eth, and wifi, with ra3070 chipset.
We reverse tunnel into a couple of the boxes that are wifi, as well as eth.
The boxes have dhcp.
We're using a dyndns kind of service so we can access boxes via name
instead of straight ip address.
Running into an issue where it appears that a couple of the boxes hang.
I can ssh into a box.. and when i try to enter a cmd.. the ssh/term shell hangs.
If I (sometimes) can access the same box from a different window/term
then it appears that the box/term is back to being active..
At the same time, I can sometimes ping a box by name, and I get a "no
route" for the name.. and if I then use the straight ip address, it
still doesn't return..
This then seems to resolve itself after a few mins...
Any thoughts on what I can start to look at to resolve what the heck
is going on!!
I have no access to the dhcp server, or the wifi router.
thanks guys!!
centos6.5 and I think fed 19.. the issue appears to be on the centos for now..

grub2-mkconfig keeps detecting the same installation over and over
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
I've just migrated my encrypted rootfs to a larger drive - after
changing UUIDs in a few places and recreating initramfs using dracut
everything seems to work fine again.
However, running brup2-mkconfig results in grub2 detecting my linux
installation over and over again:
grub2-mkconfig -o grub_try.cfg
Generating grub.cfg ...

rc.local not start at the boot
by Angelo Moreschini
I would say that this thread is the continuation of a my preceding thread :
“selecting some kind of files using the resync command”
There I got help in order to make the backup of some my critical files.
Now I am able to backing up these files using a shell script from the line
command.
But I would like also that this backup runs automatically when the computer
boots.
I know that this task is performed by the rc.local file, in Linux.
Ed Greshko gave me a link about an announcement of Fedora concerning
rc.local ....
there is wrote :
- - - - - - - - - -
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.
- - - - - - - - - -
After I read this announcement, I create the the file rc.local and I made
it executable:
[angelo_dev@zorro rc.d]$ ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1262 Oct 27 12:18 /etc/rc.d/rc.local
But, doing some tests, I saw that the scripts stored inside rc.local not
run at boot, ...on my computer.
I would like to have some advice concerning the way to manage tests, in
order to understand because the content of rc.local is not executed at the
start... and to obtain that scripts run at the boot

MTU breakage in f20
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
It looks like something broke recently that severely limits the MTU in
Fedora 20 when running under NM. Are other people seeing this too?
Here I'm pinging my upstream lan-to-wan gateway. A 1200 byte ping fails
while a 500 byte one succeeds. I see the same thing when pinging
between two identical, fully up-to-date f20 systems.

Closing port 631 from other computers
by Jarmo Hurri
Greetings.
After the recent security incidents I am trying to increase the security
of my computer by closing unnecessary ports from outside world.
The only listening port in my system right now is port 631 (ipp), as
"lsof -i | grep -i listen" reports:
************************************************************************
cupsd 2349 root 10u IPv4 37790 0t0 TCP *:ipp (LISTEN)
cupsd 2349 root 11u IPv6 37791 0t0 TCP *:ipp (LISTEN)
************************************************************************
I tried disabling cups services, but then printing stopped working.
So ok, I need a connection from my computer to port 631 for
printing. But that port should be closed from all other computers. At
the moment it is open to the outside world (10.13.3.247 is the address
of my computer in LAN):
************************************************************************
[jarmo@localhost ~]$ nmap -sT 10.13.3.247
Nmap scan report for 10.13.3.247
Not shown: 999 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
631/tcp open ipp
************************************************************************
I tried to close the port using firewalld. But the port does not seem to
be open, and firewall can not close it. I can freely take a telnet
connection to the port. The first commands show that firewalld is
running and iptables is not.
************************************************************************
[jarmo@localhost ~]$ systemctl status firewalld.service

Trying 10.13.3.247...
Connected to 10.13.3.247.
Escape character is '^]'.
************************************************************************
So I must be doing something wrong. My questions are:
1. Have I diagnosed the situation correctly? Is port 631 really open to
the outside world?
2. If port 631 is open, why can I not close it using firewalld?
3. What is the best way to deny connections to the port from any other
computer than that of my own? Is it the approach I have taken now?
Thank you for all your help in advance.

Where is a Camera Mount Point?
by Stephen Morris
I have plugged a digital camera into my usb port and mounted it using
the popup displayed from the auto detect via konqueror (this annoys me
as well). When konqueror is launched it displays the contents via
Camera:/ which is okay, but subsequently I can't find any entries under
/run that represent the camera. I assumed there would be a mount point
under /run like there is for a usb flash disk. Given that there appears
to not be a mount point under /run, where is it mounted in Fedora 20, so
that I can point dolphin (which is what should be launched from the
'Open with File Manager' prompt, not Konqueror) at the mount point
rather than having to manually type Camera:/ into the address bar.

"Input out of Range"
by Beartooth
I normally run three or four computers behind a 4-way KVM switch;
one of them is an old Dell PowerEdge SC1420, which began life as a
server, configured with RAID of some sort. It has long since been re-
purposed and re-configured, and is now an ordinary old PC. I ran CentOS 6
on it for years, but recently installed F 20 instead.
When I boot it, the HP w2207h widescreen flat panel monitor gives
me a message saying "Input out of Range" and tells me to reset to
1680x1050. I can ssh in -- but what little I recall of such efforts years
ago, when the monitor was new, is no help; and I can't seem to find the
setting I need to change.
When I've had this problem in recent years, I could shut
everything down, swap cables around like a crazed beaver, ending up with
the Dell, and only the Dell, connected to the peripherals -- directly
connected, without the KVM switch between -- and simply reboot.
Either CentOS or earlier releases of Fedora would find the
monitor, change the setting, and be fine. That now fails.
What file do I need to get into to tell the machine 1680x1050??
When I do once get into that file, do I simply find lines that
look similar to 1680x1050 and change them? Or is something fancier going
on??
