Re: Dell PowerEdge M710 with Intel Xeon 5667 processor

[Siavoush Dastmalchi]

Dear JB,

Many thanks for your kind reply. I know that those programs works under linux 
and am currently using them under fedora. What I want to know is the 
suitability 
of Dell PowerEdge M710 with Intel  Xeon  5667 processor for parallel 
computation 
under linux system.
By the way, I always have problem with this yum command. Issuing the following 
commands gives me error:

$ yum list "*gromacs*"
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
extras   [1/2]
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: extras
Cannot find repomd.xml file for extras
Error: Cannot find repomd.xml file for extras


Cheers,
Siavoush

Hi,
Because it is not clear at what stage of Linux/Fedora evaluation for your 
needs you are, I will help you dive into formal assessment of software
available (other software may be available on Red Hat or its clones):

$ yum list "*gromacs*"
...
$ yum info gromacs
...

$ yum list "*amber*"
$ yum list "*cyana*"
$ yum list "*cns*"

You must be running an age-old distribution of Fedora. Extras were
merged in Fedora in Fedora 7, that is 2.5 years ago.

GROMACS has been included in Fedora since Fedora 10.

If you're going to run GROMACS only on a single node, then practically
any system should do.

However, if you want to do really parallel runs (more than one node
for a single computation), then you probably have to invest in a decent
interconnect such as InfiniBand, otherwise your parallel performance
will be handicapped by the latencies and slow bandwidth.

You're better off asking what kind of a cluster to buy on a GROMACS
list, http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists .

[Siavoush Dastmalchi]

Hi Jussi,

Many thanks for your email. As you said I am using an old version of Fedora (5) 
and because there are not many highly experienced linux IT person around, I am 
hesitating to upgrade it. Currently I am using an 8 node cluster each composed 
of two dual core Opteron 2212 CPUs. I am managing the cluster, but am not on 
top 
it. 


Cheers,
Siavoush

Bluetooth under Fedora-14

[Timothy Murphy]

I'm looking for advice on the best way
to set up Bluetooth under Fedora-14/KDE.

Basically, I want to convey information
to and from mobile phones (mainly Nokia).
What I would really like is an application
that displays the contents of the phone's memory
as a sort of file system.

I haven't used Bluetooth on my computer
for a couple of years.
At that time, I used gnokii with bluez
to communicate with Bluetooth-enabled phones.

I'm wondering if this is still the best way to go?
I looked at kdebluetooth/kbluetooth,
but it wasn't clear to me how this is meant to work.
or if it would be likely to simplify my task.

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

Linux/Fedora and Dell PowerEdge M710 with Intel Xeon 5667 processor

[JB]

Hi,

this is a post pointing to a thread that was initiated inside another one, and
so is not visible on many (most) newsreader apps like Pan, etc.

The original post is at:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-January/390717.html

and is hidden under thread:
16 Jan 11:17Clemens Eisserer *  Where is Brctl in fedora13?

There is already some facts-finding discussion present there.

Please follow the link and help to solve the problem presented there.

Thanks,

What kind of graphics card do you have?

Do you have a transmitter for the glasses connected to it?

We have an Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 with a transmitter connected.

The machine runs CentOS 5, it should work with Fedora as well.

It can display 3D OpenGL.

mplayer (with a patch) can display videos with side-by-side 3D so that
the left part of the image is displayed for the left eye and
the right part for the right eye.

Way-OT: CPU frequency question

[Hiisi]

Dear list!
Recently I became unsatisfied with productivity of my computer. I always
thought it is Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz (32 bit) with hyper-threading. At
least so lshw states. But when I get to BIOS setup I was surprised to
discover under frequency scaling menu that hyper-threading was off and
memory frequency was set to something like 256 while it's DDR2 333 MHz.
First of all I changed memory frequency to 333 MHz and now when the
computer starts it show 400 MHz memory frequency. I don't know why.
Probably it's some kind of simulation. That alone was enough to improve
productivity of this machine. But I went further and changed CPU clock
value from 100 to 200 MHz. Saved that setting, rebooted and during
initial startup testing saw that CPU freq was 199x15=2985 MHz.
Surprisingly the system boots about one and a half time slower than
before. And when it booted in run level 3 it took ages for Gnome to
start. Everything were working remarkable slower than before. And
mozilla constantly crashed while I was trying to search the web for
suggestions. Then I rebooted, changed clock frequency back to 100 MHz
and now I have higher performance compare to prior level with
hyper-threading off.
What I would like to know is why the system was working slower instead
acceleration? Is 100x15=1500 MHz is optimal for my setup? Currently I'm

I put a new top post out there, pointing to this thread (by which you hijacked
the outer thread which is a no-no, but by doing so you punished yourself by
making your thread invisible :-) ).

Anyway, you have to do some thinking.
I understand that you are hesitant to upgrade your F5.

You should understand that Fedora is a very fast moving distro, and selecting
it for something that you intend to keep running without much interference for
many years is not wise. Fedora makes itself obsolete with regard to updates
(regular and security) every 1 year or 2 releases. After that you may assume
that no update procedure will work for you. And any call for help, local or
on the Internet, may be just fruitless. Problems will just mount.

So, perhaps you should consider a clone of Red Hat like CentOS or Scientific
Linux (see: http://distrowatch.com/index.php?language=EN) and be fine for at
least 10 years or so. Besides, they are very stable.

Take this into consideration while discussing your options here.

JB

I've an ATI/AMD of some description, not at home now so I can't say. But

So they're dependent on using a particular graphics card?

LDAP authentication

[Luc MAIGNAN]

Hi,

I want to use openLDAP to authenticate users to log-in.

In the previous versions of Fedora, I just use system-config-auth but it 
doesn't seem to work in F14.

Has someone a good and pretty HOWTO to explain how to do this ?

That's concerning. System-config-auth saw a major overhaul in F13 to
support SSSD for LDAP authentication. What did you try to do, and how
did it fail?

As for a HOWTO, the answer should be:

Run authconfig-gtk (aka system-config-authentication), select LDAP for
user identity store and authentication and set up the certificate.

One change from older versions of Fedora is that, with SSSD, you cannot
use authentication against LDAP without encryption. This is because the
simple bind password would otherwise be sent in the clear over the wire.
Older versions of Fedora allowed using unencrypted auth, but no longer
(for your protection).

After running authconfig-gtk, can you attempt to do a user lookup on the
user you want to log in as with
getent passwd 

If that returns the correct information, then we know at least that it's
getting users correctly. The next thing to check after that would be to
try to log in and then look at /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages for
errors.

If you have the glasses but not the transmitter they would be difficult

Has anyone gotten three heads set up with Fedora?  I figure it will

Then you should seriously consider using Centos instead of Fedora (or
even Ubuntu LTS). Fedora updates every 6 months and versions over a year
old will not receive support. Not only will they not get updates, even
for important security issues, but people on this list are liable to
remind you of this each time, and you'll find it harder and harder to
stay afloat, especially if as you say you aren't in IT.

I have neither -- what I'm trying to find out is if there's a preferred
model, one that can be made to work in Fedora. I'm not going to buy one

Just of curiosity:  Does that actually stop the client sending a

I used to have templates for Glabels that would print both sizes of
CDs, as well as credit card size CDs. (You had to be careful about
the orientation of the CD.) I even submitted them for inclusion in
Glabels. But an update broke them, and I have not had time to fix
them. I get a wrong media size error from the printer.

graphics fails

Hello,

I already posted twice about graphics issue on 2 different machines,
one fedora 13 and one fedora 14. These never happened in fedora 11 and it
is very ennoying because I may even have to restart the machine.
What is the best way to get some feedback on those issues ?

Thank.

Updating an iso image

I'd like to automate the process of keeping an iso image current with
updates that are released.  I googled a bit and didn't see anything, but
does anyone know if there's anything that exists that rsyncs (or whatever)
the updated packages from an update mirror, determines if there's an
existing older version of that package in Packages/ and removes that older
package?

You might want to keep local mirrors and just do periodic rebuilds. Updates
happen often enough, that if current means say within a week, you should
probably just do weekly rebuilds. When you down to a timescale of about a
day, it might be worth checking if updates actually affect your spin before
doing the rebuild.

Try going to fedoraforum.org and posting there in the Hardware forum. 
Granted, there's a bit of overlap between there and here, but you'll get 
the benefit of large numbers of Fedora users who aren't on this list. 
Also, while I'm thinking of it, what graphics card are you using?  It 
may well be significant.

And it should also be clear if it works with the free drivers. Using nVidia's
proprietary driver could end up being a problem as Fedora is moving away
from user mode setting and nVidia dopesn't seem to be keen on supporting
kernel mode setting. So at some point (but not real soon), you may not have
the option of using their proprietary driver on Fedora.

Checking whether Gnome screensaver currently active

[Robert Nichols]

In a 'cron' job, is there a way to tell whether the Gnome screensaver is
currently active?  Trying to use "gnome-screensaver-command -q" just results
in:

 ** Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: /bin/dbus-launch
 terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error:
 X11 initialization failed.

Alternative ways of testing whether the console user is actively using the
system would also be appreciated.  This is my own cron job trying to test
whether I am currently active, so the IDs match, but the job is obviously
not part of the current Gnome session.

Yes, if you're authenticating through SSSD, then before we attempt to
perfom an LDAP bind, we check to see if the channel is encrypted (either
through LDAPS, LDAP+TLS or LDAP+GSSAPI). If it is not, we will not
perform the bind and simply return authentication failure internally.

I was starting to think it was my printer instead of glabels. No
matter what custom media size I set (all around the recommended 5in x
5in) I ALWAYS get a media size error on my HP Photosmart C5580. Keep
in mind, I'm talking about the printer, the driver happily feeds it to

The C5580 is the printer I have and used for all my DVD
printing experiments with (eventually) great success:

http://home.comcast.net/~tomhorsley/wisdom/dvd/dvdp/f13-success.html

There were certainly versions of hplip that had big problems
back when I first started trying to get it to work:

http://home.comcast.net/~tomhorsley/wisdom/dvd/dvdprint/dvd-print.html

But the latest hplip on fedora 14 (and 13 before that) is
working great for me using my "kewpie" printing program
(which I wrote because I also found vast problems with most
programs printing support - no two apps seem to print the
same way to the same printer :-).

I fired up gconf-editor, and searched around. No "main menu"
application, and couldn't find any entry for the 'logout' button
either. Tried both as a regular user, and as root (ssh -X root@localhost).

There is a panel/global/locked_down key, but I don't yet have anything
worth locking down :(

I did see this suggestion elsewhere as well (on some of the Ubuntu
formus, to be precise). There are no keys named 'can_hibernate' and
'can_suspend' underneath apps/gnome-power-manager. If I add them and
set them to false, nothing happens (any user logging in at the console
still gets a System/Shut Down menu entry, and so does the gdm
login/greeter screen. Besides, I'd also like to prevent users from
shutting down and restarting, not just hibernating or suspending.

Did I miss anything in your instructions, or did something change
recently ? I am on F14.

Thanks,

Right-click on the main menu icon on your gnome panel bar.  Click "remove".

Now it's removed from the gnome panel bar.

Right-click on a blank spot on your gnome panel bar.  Click on "add
application" and add the logout button to your gnome panel bar.

After reading Tom's account (thanks, Tom!), I discovered that the
printer is expecting the "document" to be precisely 360pt square, with
the actual doughnut area where you might want to put ink is offset
somewhere inside that. I eventually figured out the exact offset for
my printer and produced a template document for GIMP that even
includes the little flat edge where the printer can't print. Then I
just have to remember to always print my file in the lower left corner
of the page on the print dialog, which GIMP seems to insist must be
full page size no matter what.

Actually, I find GIMP to be overall a bit clumsy for this sort of
thing. I wish that I actually had a working template for glabels or
else knew how to make one.

That's actually an artifact of earlier versions of hplip.
With never versions I can print edge to edge on the entire
DVD, no flat spots.

One architectural office I'm working with that is *very*
Linux curious wanted to try Fedora on a four-headed
system.

The system has:
- 1 VGA on-board graphics card (not sure the chipset,
assuming its a standard Intel on-board device) connected
to a ~20" Dell LCD monitor
- 2 nVidia 1Gb Galaxy PCI-E 16 cards (pretty cheap)
connected through their DVI outputs to two large, matching
LG Flatrons
- 1 *something else* pretty old, weak card also connected
through a DVI out to a generic, small flatscreen leftover
from someplace

I installed Fedora 14 with just the VGA on-board video
running first, then plugged the others in after install...
and everything just worked on reboot. The only adjustment
needed was to place the screens in relation to one another
so that the layout made sense.

They have heavy 2D requirements (CAD for blueprint
designs), but not any real 3D needs, so the open source
drivers worked just fine for them. Their fabrication techs
*do* need 3D, though, so it would be necessary to get
good, real 3D drivers for those systems.

This is easy. "oooh, dual head" is not very "h
anymore." It's just about plugging things in as long as
the hardware is fairly vanilla.

One note: You will not get much easy mileage out of
USB-to-VGA output switches. Those still suck to configure,
even for a single screen.

[389-users] schema for dns

[Christopher Wood]

Questions:


When was the dNSDomain schema deprecated in 389 DS?
Why was it deprecated in 389 DS?
What schema do 389 Directory Server or Red Hat Directory Server users 
customarily use to store DNS zones in their directories?
(Am I asking the right questions?)

As well, my thanks to the list denizens for your collective threads, you're all 
terribly educational.


Background:


The task is exploring DNS schema storage in ldap, to be a DNS server backend.

I can get the schema into 389 DS without any issues. I'm asking more for the 
"why" not the "how". So far everything is working out, but I'm concerned that I 
may have a blind spot in choice of schema. Am I going one way while the world 
goes another as far as ldap backend is concerned?


The PowerDNS LDAP Backend specifies the dNSDomain2 schema, a child of the 
dNSDomain schema.

http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/PowerDNS_ldapbackend


Here is previous discussion on this:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/389-users/2010-March/011146.html


In 2007 this was apparently added to the fedora-ds schema, if I'm reading it 
right:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179956

Actually, I could get an indication of keyboard activity from the "IDLE"
time, but those commands don't show anything about mouse activity (e.g.,
spending hours using the mouse navigating through "Dive Into Python").

About all I've found so far is to see whether there are any child
processes of the gnome-screensaver process.  I was hoping for something
a bit less involved than that.

Thanks ! Do you happen to know how I can accomplish this part in a
way that applies to all users at once ? (i.e., which files the panel
relies on as a template for any new user who logs into the system) ?

I got the part about locking down the panel by running gconf-editor as
root, but I have a potentially limitless number of users (using ldap
for passwd), so I have no way of going in and automatically setting
up the menu for each one of them.

Thanks again,

You can set up the default user's desktop in /etc/skel.  That's the home
directory that new users get when you create one.

I have a pair of NVidia cards (one PCIe, one PCI) which I do this
with. The key components were:

* Proprietary NVidia driver with TwinView enabled
* Specifying the PCI ID manually in my xorg.conf

What I lack is the ability to merge together the Dual-screen config on
one card with the single screen on the other - so in actual fact I
have 2 Xorg "Displays" and am unable to move windows from one to the
other. That's not a big deal - you just end up adapting your workflow
and keeping discrete apps on that one screen. If I enable Xinerama,
Gnome crashes pretty hard on login.

I have included my Xorg.conf below to give you some starting point. If
you get Xinerama working, I'll be very interested.

SELinux

[Kostas Sfakiotakis]

Greetings ,

Well i want to ask what problem Selinux has if i want to run for example 
Acrobat Reader or not .
Even the last user of a system is entitled to run a program if he wishes 
to , not to me mention
that fact that am the root of the system ? Why can´t it just back off 
and let me do what i want
to do ?

Nah, that was happening back around f10 & f11. With f13 and f14
(at least on my C5580) I haven't had any clipping. If you've just
been upgrading instead of doing new installs though you may still
have the old .ppd file for the printer.

I run Adobe Reader without any problems (and I'm running with SELinxu
enabled).

Could you please elaborate? What error messages are you getting? How do
you know it's a SELinux related problem? What is the SELinux message?

Well it´s certainly SELinux Related .

As soon as i try to launch acrobat reader 9 then i get a
SELinux Alert Browser message which says

SELinux has detected a problem

The source process : acroread
Attempted this access : execstack
On this proccess :

Troubleshoot Notify Admin

Since i was running the proccess as root , am curious who is meant
by Admin ? am i just supposed to notify myself that SELinux
denied my access to a program ? For some odd reason i think i
already have established that since I AM the Admin .

Ok, there has been a lot of these lately (execstack).  I had those with
AviDemux and solved it by removing execstack from the particular library
causing it.

Check out this recent blog post from Dan Walsh (SELinux team):

Let us know if you have any question after reading that.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630217


It appears to have been fixed in the latest selinux-policy. Try to
update your system. If that doesn't work then try this:

chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread'

Thanks.  That little C program will (with a suitable value for the DISPLAY
environment variable) report the idle time when run from a cron job, but
what I really need is whether the screensaver is running (screen locked)
rather than how recently the cat might have stepped on my keyboard or
moved the mouse.  Sorry that I wasn't very clear about that before.

Right now, checking on the number of child processes of gnome-screensaver
still looks like my best bet:

 ssID=$(pgrep -n gnome-screensav)
 if [ "$ssID" ] && [ $(ps -g $ssID -o pid= | wc -l) -lt 2 ]; then
 # Screen saver enabled but not active
 ...
 fi

Re: Triple head?

[DJ Delorie]

I have a quad-monitor setup.  I originally had two nVidia 9800GT cards
(dual DVI each) but in order to get more than one GPU to act like one
desktop, you had to use Xinerama, which slowed down Cairo a *lot*
(although 3D was still pretty fast).  I ended up replacing those two
cards with one Matrox M9148 (quad displayport) card.  It works, but you
need a proprietary driver, and the most recent version of Fedora they've
tested it with is Fedora *11*.  It does not compile with Fedora 14.
Also, it hangs fairly regularly (F12/F13) when watching V4L (like
tvtime).  2D (cairo) is very fast over all four monitors, and 3D is not
too shabby either (30-60 FPS in quake3).  The RandR settings in my setup
are off by a pixel, but I have three different monitor configurations
(one bigger than the others, and two of those others rotated - the
rotated ones are the ones that are off).

And where would it stop?  (At SELinux backing off instead of blocking.)
It's job is to stop bad things from happening, not to stand idly by and
let them.

SELinux is another of the protective measures on your system, if you're
just going to override it, there's not much point having it there, at
all.

Being root doesn't mean that you should just be allowed to do anything,
it's not as simple as that.  You'd leave yourself open to all sorts of
"shooting yourself in the foot" problems.  

Made all the more worse when users start running things as root that
they don't really need to.  Running Acrobat reader as root?  Not a good
idea.

The whole idea of running as root, in general, is bad.  The concept of
trying to force something that's currently not working, by switching to
the root user to try and run it, isn't much better.

Enable rpmfusion repos and PackageKit should find and ask if you want
to install the right parts to play whatever you have.

Anything covered by patents without a royalty free license is not going to
be in Fedora. rpmfusion does have support for a number of codecs and is
a good place to look for those things.

As I said in my original message, when run from a cron job that fails:

  ** Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: /bin/dbus-launch
  terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error:
  X11 initialization failed.

And yes, I did try it with "DISPLAY=:0.0" in the environment.

how to use gmail smtp server for outgoing mail

[Donald Russell]

I have a domain associated with my comcast IP address (I use dyndns.org)

I installed sendmail on Fedora 14 and I can receive mail OK, but when I try
to send outgoing mail, gmail.com rejects it with the following error:

   - Transcript of session follows -

and run makemap -r has /etc/mail/auth/client-info.db < client-info

but not having any success. :-(

Obviously I don't have it configured properly for when sendmail is acting as

Thanks a lot. I didn't think of that way to find the image. It's:

/usr/share/backgrounds/laughlin/default/standard/laughlin.png

Finally I can get rid of this awful image :-)

Donald,
I just went through this exercise with my new ISP.  See my thread from
1/12/11 entitled:
Sendmail needs authentication with Smart Host

Joe Zeff pointed me to:

http://www.sendmail.org/m4/smtp_auth.html

It suggested I create /etc/mail/authinfo and put the authentication
information for the remote server in there.  Then build the hashed file
using:

makemap hash /etc/mail/authinfo < /etc/mail/authinfo

Don't forget to add a FEATURE for authinfo to your sendmail.mc:

FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo.db')dnl

(Looks like you were trying to do this with your client-info file
 check the options.  Notice I have a -o above and my makemap command
line looks different from what you are trying)

And from the page listed above, I found a link to:

http://www.jonfullmer.com/smtpauth/

While this second page is more about setting up a server that requires
authentication, it includes a blurb on how to test the authenticating
server.  Once I successfully sent a test message (using telnet) directly
to the outgoing server, getting the local configuration right was easy.

> Thank you

Good luck.

It could be interesting to find out if you can connect a 3D TV via HDMI
to a graphics card and get 3D working.

That would probably be the cheapest solution.
