Tainted kernels
by Joe Zeff 04 May '15

04 May '15

Earlier, I'd asked about what was causing abrt to claim that my laptop's kernel was tainted, even though I don't know of anything that would cause this. Somebody asked me to check a certain location in /proc, which turned out not to exist on the laptop. I'd like to check again, and check it on my desktop as well because I know the desktop's kernel is tainted by kmod-nvidia, and that would give me a good way to compare a known-tainted kernel with my laptop's. Alas, I've lost the email with the pointer in it. If anybody remembers what I'm supposed to check, please let me know. Thanx!

what happened to the dkim-milter?
by Franta Hanzlík 03 May '15

03 May '15

I'm looking for Fedora 20 dkim-milter package (which was in F19 and lower), but it seems as it isn't available - probably not even in the F21). Know anyone? Where can I see the fate of the packages that were formerly and now are not it (e.g. LTSP and others) ? -- TIA, Franta Hanzlik

Best web content management system for unsophisticated end-users?
by thomas cameron 03 May '15

03 May '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am trying to help a buddy set up a simple web site for a small landscaping business. I'm going to run it on a Fedora 21 VM on Digital Ocean (I love them, by the way). I will set up the OS and software, and I'm a relatively savvy sysadmin, but he's not an IT guy at all. I'd like to make sure it's dead-bang easy for him to upload pictures and the like when his company finishes a new project. Does anyone have a favorite CMS that is really easy for users? Many thanks!

SD card programing -
by Bob Goodwin 02 May '15

02 May '15

I just received a Raspberry Pi 2b as a birthday gift. Apparently the operating system must be stored on an micro-SD card, the o/s can be downloaded but I have to get the SD card and whatever is required to program it from Fedora 21 or 22, or buy one preprogrammed. Perhaps someone with experience there can enlighten as to what I need to order to do this? Thanks, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/w2bod box10 Fedora-22/64bit Linux/XFCE

mysql configuration
by Chris Kottaridis 02 May '15

02 May '15

I am running on a fedora 21 machine. I installed mysqld from RPM. I believe I have the 3306 port available thru the firewall and I used systemctl to get the daemon started and it seems to be up and running. I made no other configuration changes other then what the RPM installation did. I am running in a vmware virtual host and it has 2 virtual ethernet cards attached, ens33 and ens37. I have assigned IP addresses accordingly: ens33: 192.168.200.131 ens37: 192.168.223.63 The hostname is fed21.cjk.net. In DNS fed21.cjk.net is assigned to 192.168.223.63. I have no hostname assoicated with 192.168.200.131. I noticed in the mysqld.log file: ------------------------------------------------------- 2015-05-01 07:07:22 1393 [Note] Server hostname (bind-address): '*'; port: 3306 2015-05-01 07:07:22 1393 [Note] IPv6 is available. 2015-05-01 07:07:22 1393 [Note] - '::' resolves to '::'; 2015-05-01 07:07:22 1393 [Note] Server socket created on IP: '::'. 2015-05-01 07:07:22 1393 [Note] Event Scheduler: Loaded 0 events 2015-05-01 07:07:22 1393 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '5.6.24' socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' port: 3306 MySQL Community Server (GPL) 2015-05-01 07:09:05 1393 [Warning] Hostname 'fed21.cjk.net' does not resolve to '192.168.200.131'. 2015-05-01 07:09:05 1393 [Note] Hostname 'fed21.cjk.net' has the following IP addresses: 2015-05-01 07:09:05 1393 [Note] - 192.168.223.63 ----------------------------------------------------- Which as mentioned above the hostname is indeed mapped to 192.168.223.63 and not 192.168.200.131. When I try to run this script: ============================================== #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use DBI; # Connect to the database. my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=test;host=127.0.0.1", "joe", "joe's password", {'RaiseError' => 1}); # Disconnect from the database. $dbh->disconnect(); exit; =============================================== $ ./nosrcapp.pl DBI connect('database=test;host=127.0.0.1','joe',...) failed: Host '192.168.200.131' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server at ./nosrcapp.pl line 8. You can see I get an error immediately from the mysqld server that it doesn't like 192.168.200.131, which is a little weird because I am accessing through 127.0.0.1. The script didn't even get a chance to send the login request. You can see if I telnet in the server immediately sends the message on connection: $ telnet 127.0.0.1 3306 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. HHost '192.168.200.131' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL serverConnection closed by foreign host. $ I set wireshark to only look at the loopback interface and it shows: While it seems weird that when sending to 127.0.0.1 the system uses a source address of 192.168.200.131 instead of 127.0.0.1, but seems to know to respond to 127.0.0.1, the only question I am interested in is: What mysqld configuration am I missing that is not allowing 192.168.200.131 access ? Of secondary importance is if there is a way to tell mysqld to expect the hostname to be mapped to 192.168.223.63 instead of 192.168.200.31, but if that doesn't affect functionality then I am much less concerned about that. This is a local environment so I have no cncerns about access and I essentially want any address to be able to access from either the 192.168.200 network or 192.168.223 network as well as through the loopback. What mysqld configuration am I missing ? Thanks Chris Kottaridis

Fedora 21: How to download files from my Galaxy S5
by Jim Lewis 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello everyone, This worked fine on my older Android Photon Q so I expected the same on this new Galaxy S5. I plugged in the cable, found the mount point and, as my guest1 user, located the filesystem and files. I saw they were rw (read/write) and thought all was well. I tried to tar the whole thing up and noticed errors. Here's some more detail: laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D $ fl \*.jpg File Find Utility by Lewis - 3/23/2011 Version 1 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 753726 Jan 23 16:37:02 2015 IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 703395 Jan 23 16:37:12 2015 IMG_20150123_163712_747.jpg -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 1194428 Jan 23 16:37:20 2015 IMG_20150123_163720_312.jpg laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D $ cd Card/DCIM/Camera laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera $ file IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg: writable, executable, regular file, no read permission laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera $ cp IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg /tmp cp: cannot open IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg for reading: Operation not supported Not sure I have ever seen a situation like this. I can change the phone from MTP to PTP mode but then all of the files do not show up (but I can copy the files that do). I tried looking at this issue on the net but all I got was noise. This is on: Fedora release 21 (Twenty One) Kernel \r on an \m (\l) Linux laptop4.com 3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 03:08:44 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks in advance for any help. I should have checked this right when I got the phone but didn't think of it. Jim Lewis http://jklewis.com <- My resume, Java games, and link to my Linux book are here. Website has no ads!

01 May '15

The venerable Mailman list management system is soon to have a new version (see https://lwn.net/Articles/638090/) There's a live demo of the new user archives interface for the Fedora lists at: http://lists-dev.cloud.fedoraproject.org/archives/?sort=active The Users list can be found at: http://lists-dev.cloud.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users% 40lists.fedoraproject.org/ (I have no connection with the Mailman project or Fedora list administration and of course this is Beta software so be warned). poc
