Hi, I am currently using Firefox 49.0a1 on both Linux and Windows and on both systems Firefox will not activate Java, this has been the case for several versions of Firefox. I have to java plugin in the appropriate mozilla directories, but Firefox will still not use it. I have also checked about:config and there appears to be no java entries in there whatsoever. Does anyone know any way to activate Java in these versions of Firefox? regards, Steve

keyboard with a numeric keypad which does not work in Fedora

by Chris Murphy

Hi, I have a laptop with its own keyboard which lacks a keypad, and a USB keyboard with a keypad. I plug in the keyboard and the keypad doesn't work anywhere in Fedora. So... how do I make that work? I don't care for it to work in the console, I only care if it works in GNOME Calculator really. Thanks, -- Chris Murphy

Fedora 24 - Beta installation problem to Netbook

by Prof. Server Acim

Hello, I have a CREA Netbook. I am having problems about installing Fedora 24 Beta. These are the steps and the results of my things that I'd done. 1. Fedora-Workstation-Live-i386-24_Beta-1.6.iso file downloaded from a mirror, 2. Verification process with CHECKSUM is completed, 3. ISO file is written to USB flash drive with Fedora Media Writer, 4. While booting from USB Flash drive on netbook for the first time, "check the iso file and reboot" option is selected, 5. I tried the health of the system with my desktop computer. It is working. These are the photos of live cd screens of Feodra 24 - Workstation Beta: https://goo.gl/photos/Evw3auvZw11FDN8L7 https://goo.gl/photos/xqmc4PiFjSVScE277 https://goo.gl/photos/SusFEESmiJgWSvrZ9 https://goo.gl/photos/UqNuvRAiZJaiGmrg9 6. First step is completing but passing to GUI is not happening. It is freezing there. These are the link of photos from that it is freezed. https://goo.gl/photos/s3LLrNoz2meYKcwr7 https://goo.gl/photos/fczYX8BU4o8PFp3KA https://goo.gl/photos/dnxjpiJGMrXNyaDG8 7. Ubuntu 16.04 is installed into it. This is the screenshot of system info. https://goo.gl/photos/BGFhwqnA2StpWqYE7 8. This is the result of "lspci |grep VGA" command from ubuntu terminal: https://goo.gl/photos/BGwEEZwhrf9c2eyi9 10. I can give you these informations. I am waiting for your answers. =============================== Note: I also asked this problem to "Ask Fedora" page. This is the link of my question: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/86580/crea-netbook-fedora-23- installation-problem/ ============================= I am also not sure that am I asking the right question to the right email group. Perhaps, I may have to ask these questions to the "testing group".

Entropy from TPM of Fedora 23?

by D. Hugh Redelmeier

I have a server that I want to use to test Libreswan VPN software. This requires a lot of entropy (for random number generation). Unfortunately, the box, a Dell, has a processor with no RdRand instruction. But it does have a TPM 1.2 module, and that is supposed to be able to generate entropy. I don't know how to get the TPM to feed entropy to the Linux kernel RNG. Is there a cookbook explaining how to do this? I installed Trousers to handle the TPM device. That provides "tcsd" the daemon that manages "Trusted Computing resources" (including TPM). I installed tpm_tools. I initialized the TPM with tpm_takeownership -y -z rngd is the daemon that is supposed to feed hardware entropy to the kernel RNG. It is part of the rng-tools package. I would have thought that enabling the TPM would allow rngd to harvest entropy from the TPM. That does not seem to be the case. rngd can open /dev/tpm0 but cannot read from it. (This isn't obvious since rngd's diagnostics are not very specific.) I think that the problem is that only one thing is allowed to open the TPM at once, and that one thing is currently something else. Probably tcsd. Here's a closed bugzilla against RHEL7 that seems relevant: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=921122> My problem certainly isn't the same. tcsd seems to be running and happy. Compare this with what Steve Grubb said in Comment 5. [build@bluebird ~]$ systemctl status tcsd ● tcsd.service - TCG Core Services Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tcsd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-05-17 13:09:28 EDT; 1h 13min ago Process: 798 ExecStart=/sbin/tcsd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 838 (tcsd) CGroup: /system.slice/tcsd.service └─838 /sbin/tcsd May 17 13:09:27 bluebird.mimosa.com systemd[1]: Starting TCG Core Services Daemon...

The error code is for "No such device".) Here's a run of a version of rngd that I instrumented: [build@bluebird ~]$ sudo ./rngd -f -v -r /dev/NOTHING Unable to open file /dev/tpm0: Device or resource busy can't open any entropy source Maybe RNG device modules are not loaded [build@bluebird ~]$ -f: don't daemonize -v: verbose -r /dev/NOTHING: replace /dev/hwrng with a meaningless path to preven using it. According to this old page <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/rngd_default_on> Note that when using TPM, rngd currently conflicts with tcsd from TrouSerS. The solution to that is a kernel module which is probably going to be merged upstream in the 3.7 kernel, as it unfortunately missed the 3.6 merge window; however, it is a small patchset and it can be trivially backported. It should be in James Morris' linux-security git tree shortly; otherwise search for Kent Yoder on LKML. I don't know what that module is, whether my system has it, and if so, is it actually loaded. There are two loaded modules with tpm in their name: tpm_tis 20480 0 - Live 0xffffffffa033b000 tpm 40960 2 tpm_tis, Live 0xffffffffa0104000 It is even possible that the TPM is being used now. Monitoring /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail seems to show more entropy that I observed yesterday. But it isn't enough for what I'm trying to do.

using rex (rexify) soes not do a command properly...

by dcw

I use Rex to maintain remote servers. Using Rex to do a upgrade on the remote server using the following commands does not work: yum -y upgrade vim-X11-2:7.4.1718-1.fc22 yum -y upgrade vim-common-2:7.4.1718-1.fc22 yum -y upgrade vim-enhanced-2:7.4.1718-1.fc22 yum -y upgrade vim-minimal-2:7.4.1718-1.fc22 Rex does a sudo for each command. Also logging in to the remote server and doing the above upgrades work as it should. I manage remote systems with both F22 and F23 and each has the same failure. All other upgrades are done correctly, it is just the ones related to vim that fail. All other commands work correctly. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? David

FC23 Managing printers as non root users

by Javier Perez

Hi How can I allow users to manage printers in FC23? For example if hey need to pause/resume the printer, right now they need the admin with the root password to do it. This is a home setting so I do not mind people doing it (but I do mind having to go to their rescue :) ) I tried already adding them to the lp and even created a printers group but still I get the prompt for the root user when I try to manage the print queue Thanks Is there a document that describe the printing process as applied to the FC23 environment what choices and limitations have been applied and where to look to troubleshoot stuff? Thanks -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

OT maybe? HAProxy 1.6 mail alerts getting DOWNs, but not UPs

by Mark Haney

Hey all, I've got an odd problem with HAProxy 1.6.3 that I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. I set up mailers for alerting when one of my DB cluster nodes changes state. I'm getting the alerts for when a node goes down (so mailing is working), but I'm not getting another one when that node comes back up. I've checked the documentation and it claims the alerts will be sent when there is a STATE change, which sounds to me like it should alert on ANY state change, up or down. Is anyone else seeing this problem? I ask this list in lieu of having to join another mailing list to ask about it in case someone here knows how to fix it. -- Mark Haney ::: Senior Systems Engineer *VIF* *International Education* P.O.
