Apache and umask for document root
by Alex 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including creating a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the following: [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C Umask=0006 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some files within the document root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user? I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla document root. Thanks, Alex

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install. I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run. The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it. None of the default options for Brother printers came close. The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things: Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs. Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page. The printer never comes out of deep sleep. How do I fix this? It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did. In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to installing a printer on Linux: Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort. I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts. BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi all: I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on. The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly. I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I suspect a bad battery, working on that.) After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot right after "Starting Switch Root..." I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal, but I didn't see anything obvious to help. I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and reload too quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks, --murph

slow startup process and dmesg times
by Anil F Duggirala 22 Aug '21

22 Aug '21

hello, I am looking at output from dmesg on my laptop and there appears to be a time when a process takes longer than what might be expected and I think this may be reducing my startup speed. My question is, is it normal for there to be a jump in time (timestamp) from 7 seconds to 18 seconds. And then from 21 seconds to 30 seconds? Are these processes slowing down my startup? dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/HhDyURjd thank you.

Long wait for start job
by Frank McCormick 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Just did a new installation of the basic fedora 34 desktop the one which provides a bunch of basic window managers using a netinstall iso. The boot is interrupted for a longtime (2 minutes) while a start job runs for wait for udev to complete initialization. The timeout is three minutes and it almost reaches that point before continuing. I have looked through the syslogs but the only obvious problem is a core dump by alsa control which I don't understand because prior to this running Fedora 33 nothing similar happened. Need some advice on how to debug this.

DNF not Installing all Updates?
by Stephen Morris 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

Hi, I have just done a sudo dnf upgrade on F34 which I think upgraded 1311 packages. After the update finished I rebooted F34 and then ran discovery and it was still telling me there was 628 MB of F34 Platform updates to put on, which I did put on. Why is dnf not installing all updates that are available? Is there a configuration that needs to be done to alleviate this that is not done in an "out of the box" install, or, is this telling me that we shouldn't be doing updates with dnf we should be using Discovery instead? regards, Steve

Creating a user-level systemd unit
by Patrick O'Callaghan 04 Jul '21

04 Jul '21

I'm trying to get a specific service to start on login, and the usual method (KDE Autostart) isn't working so I'm trying to do it with a systemd unit: $ cat startinsync.service [Unit] Description=insync-headless service After=default.target [Service] ExecStart=/bin/sh /usr/bin/insync-headless start KillSignal=SIGINT [Install] WantedBy=default.target The docs say that the place to put the unit file is given by: $ pkg-config systemd --variable=systemduserunitdir /usr/lib/systemd/user So I copied the file there: $ ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/user/startinsync.service -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 177 Jun 29 12:31 /usr/lib/systemd/user/startinsync.service and tried to enable it: $ sudo systemctl enable startinsync Failed to enable unit: Unit file startinsync.service does not exist. I'm out of ideas. poc

Questions on creating RPM Package??
by Michael D. Setzer II 03 Jul '21

03 Jul '21

Saw all the messages on Clonezilla, and brought up a question I'd ask a long time ago, and a new one. Had asked about process to do an rpm package, and had gotten a suggestion to going a list on it, but turned out the list was dead, and had had no post for years, so that was a dead end. Have been the maintainer of the G4L disk imaging program since 2004, and build it with Fedora as the build system. Have been able to run it from the CD, USB or even from grub2 menu by manually adding it. Doesn't have all the bells or options that Clonezilla has, but does things. The grub option to add just required putting a kernel file and ramdisk.lzma file into boot directory and then using a 40_custom file. # !/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry G4L { linux /bz5x12.13 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes initrd /ramdisk.lzma } menuentry G4L_NOSMP { linux /bz5x12.13 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes nosmp initrd /ramdisk.lzma } menuentry G4L_FailSafe { linux /bz5x12.13 root=/dev/ram0 noapic noacpi pnpbios=off acpi=off pci=noacpi nosmp initrd /ramdisk.lzma } That would then add options to the grub boot menu similar to how memtest worked to add option. It would load kernel image, and then g4l in ram to run. Looked at memtest, but note that they don't have an option with the EFI version, which was my new question with shift to more systems using that? Issues with creating signed kernels? Wondering if there might be information or someone might know of a list or page? Thanks.
