Fedora 22 fails to ask for user authentication on reboot
by Sudhir Khanger
Hi,
I am on Fedora 22 Plasma Desktop. I am not sure if it has always been like
this but recently I am simply able to reboot my system without any
authentication. I run reboot or systemctl reboot and system reboots without
any prompt or timer or asking user for password.
One big problem with not asking user to enter password or starting a 30
seconds timer is that your system shuts down immediately with you losing all
or any work. I was working on my VPS and I mistakenly executed reboot on my
system's TTY.
Is this normal behavior on Fedora 22?
$ rpm -qa | grep systemd
systemd-219-24.fc22.x86_64
$ cat /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy
<action id="org.freedesktop.login1.reboot">
<defaults>
<allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
auth_admin: Authentication as an administrative user is require.
auth_admin_keep: The same as auth_admin but, like sudo, the authorization
lasts a few minutes.
If I am not mistaken according to the above poklit config it should ask for
authentication.

The most recent kernel: Plague of Fives, and fatally inefficient networking
by Temlakos
Everyone:
This morning I updated to the latest kernel. And promptly shut down and
rebooted the immediate previous kernel, which is the Last Known Good.
Here's why:
1. The kernel, once again, is prone to an annoying flaw: it produces a
Plague of Fives. Any time a text box opens up, a string of repeated
digits 5 appears. The only way to shut it off is to type "5" again.
2. The computer became almost inaccessible to other computers on the
network. File sharing slowed to a totally unacceptable crawl.
This last was a critical error. And of course it never occurred to me to
suspect the kernel. That is, until I saw the Plague of Fives return.
/No/, kernel group! Do /not/ tell me I have a problem with a sticking 5
key. If that were the problem, then pressing Shift would change
"55555555555..." to 5555555555%%%%%%..." It doesn't. More to the point,
the Plague of Fives tended to go away with the next iteration of the kernel.
Well, I'm not going to wait that long. I'm not going to use this version
of the kernel. I will wait for someone to push another one.
Because when I reverted to the Last Known Good, the Plague of Fives
disappeared, and the network file-share problem resolved.

Favorite newsreader for fedora22?
by Alex
Hi,
I'd like to check out comp.mail and a number of messaging based
newsgroups, and can't really figure out Google's usenet web interface
to be able to just pick a newsgroup.
Do you have a favorite GNOME newsreader for fedora22? Any searches
come up with newsreaders from years ago...
Thanks,
Alex

systemd/selinux issue in Fedora 22 / bugzilla bug 1229416
by Georg Hess
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi everyone,
I seem to have no possibility to reboot or shutdown my fedora machine.
It is a fresh installed Fedora 22 with all updates just installed, no
reboot yet (obviously).
#uname -r
4.0.4-301fc22.86_64
Yesterday I still could reboot but this was before I did all the updates
.
It seems that it is the same behaviour described in various bugreports
on bugzilla [1],[2],[3] but those reports got closed as either
duplicate of [2] or as CLOSED RAWHIDE [2].
Pressing [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL] as it is suggested in [1] does not do the
job for me. Kevin Frenzi kindly profided a link to
cgit.freedesktop.org [4] but since I'm a bloody recruit I can't really
figure out how to implement this fix into my running system.
Thanks in advance.
I won't be able to respond very quickly just now because it's in the
middle of the night right now and I need to struggle to my feet at the
crack of dawn again.
Have a pleasing day

xps 13 developer vs non-developer
by Chris Murphy
FYI in case anyone else decides to go through this confusion: the developer
edition is $50 more than the non-developer edition. However, the developer
edition is through the business department, the non-developer is consumer.
The dev edition includes ProSupport, which is probably worth $50 since it's
guaranteed next day on-site repair.
Doing a chat sale convo without asking I was able to get a $75 discount. So
it ends up being $25 less than the best quote the consumer group got me. I
have no idea why...
One "unfortunate" thing though is that I don't get an OEM copy of Windows
to test with Boxes and virt-manager. The license says you can use a copy of
OEM Windows in a VM or on baremetal, but I have no idea how the whole
validation thing works when Windows doesn't have direct hardware access
from which it gets the licensing information. I don't know if that passes
through to the VM or not. OH well, one less thing to test!

Very SLOW system update
by Jonathan Ryshpan
An update has been running on my system for the last 3-1/2 hours. It
hasn't crashed or died, but it's been very slow. Here are the stats:
$ date; ps u 9145
Sat Sep 12 15:28:49 PDT 2015
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME
COMMAND
jonrysh 9145 0.4 0.7 496432 63340 ? S 11:56 0:56
/bin/apper
Everything else is running fine. Good connection to my ISP. Is there
some kind of trouble with the server? Heavy load?
Thanks - jon

acl
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I am trying to use the acl, but I have not been successful.
I modified the /etc/fstab file:
from
dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home /home ext4 default 1 2
to
dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home /home ext4 rw,acl 1 2
and
mount -v -o remount /home
mount: /dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home mounted on /home.
This what I get:
/dev/mapper/VolGrpUsr_DK0-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,stripe=2,data=ordered)
This is the same with default or with acl.
There is not indication that the acl are working!
Do I need to do something else?
Thank.

koji build error (what does this mean?)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I was trying to do a koji build for a couple of my packages (pdf-stapler and sylfilter) and for both of these I get the following error:
$ koji build --scratch f22 pdf-stapler-0.3.3-1.fc22.src.rpm

What does the last line error mean? How do I get around it?
Note that both the src.rpms for these packages compile without error (but with a few warnings) on rpmlint.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
