That didn't help, because for some (weird?) reason after setting
accept_redirects=0 for all, my system still had accept_redirects=1 for
em1. However, setting accept_redirects=0 for em1 seems to have helped,
at least in a short test. So thanks a bunch!

Can you explain what is happening here? I am assuming that Windows has
this configured suitably in the first place, and that is why I am seeing
the issue in Linux only.

5tFTW: FESCo Vote, Fedora Swag, Stats, Job Opening, and CentOS & EPEL (2015-02-03)

2015-02-03 Thread Matthew Miller
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that
goes on. This series highlights interesting happenings in five
different areas every week. It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just
quick summaries with links to each. Here are the five things for
February 3rd, 2015:


Vote now in FESCo Elections
---

The election for Fedora 22 – Fedora 23 members of FESCo (the Fedora
Engineering Steering Committee) is now open (through 00:00 February 4th
— note that that’s *today*, Tuesday, February 3rd — and early evening in
the United States). Read interviews with candidates here:

Adam Jackson (ajax) and Alberto Ruiz (aruiz) are also running but no

self-nomination. Read the interviews, and then vote!

(Note that the Environments and Stacks Working Group had a number
candidates equal to the number of open slots, and so decided no
election is necessary for that group.)

Get Swag from the Fedora Store!
---

Thanks to Ruth Suehle, we now have an official store for Fedora-branded
swag. As Ruth explains, we’re leveraging Red Hat’s “Cool Stuff Store”
for this, because it helps us with legal obligations as well as
inventory and financial requirements. This is a sort of trial run, with
four items to start. If it’s successful, we can have more (and possibly
look at expanding to other countries — we are very aware that the
current international shipping prices are… not great).

(I see that many shirt sizes are already out of stock, so that’s a good
sign!)

Also note: these items are priced at our cost; Red Hat and Fedora
aren’t making any money this way (we really can’t, even if we wanted
to). It’s just an easy way for you to get Fedora-branded gear.

Fedora Job Opening: Infrastructure Engineer
---

The Fedora Infrastructure team headed by Paul Frields has a new opening!
See the Red Hat Jobs page for full details, but the quick summary is
that we’re looking for a software engineer / programmer with experience
in continuous delivery to help the Release Engineering team build the
next generation of the tools we use to produce Fedora.

The job listing came out highly slanted towards Project Atomic, as that
is the current hotness, but don’t expect to be pigeonholed there. Do you
have experience as a site reliability engineer? Is your instinct to
develop systems to pass arbitrary condiments? Have you been doing
actual devops for so long that you just sigh about how the term is used
today? Does Fedora’s six-month release cycle seem disturbingly slow —
and you know what to do about it? This may be the job for you!

(Note that the job is listed as in Raleigh, North Carolina, but we are
open to applicants worldwide.)

Fedora Yum Connection Stats
---

More on this later, but here’s a chart Stephen Smoogen put together for
my presentations at FOSDEM and DevConf.cz:

> http://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/fedora-os-all-mov_avg-1024x363.png

The data counts updates-mirror connections from the same IP address a
single time a day. Smooge notes that a large number of caveats should be
considered, including changing use of NAT over time and increasingly
short DHCP leases. Also, this almost exclusively counts North America
and Europe, where cheap always-on Internet is commonplace. And, of
course, it only counts systems which actually check for updates
regularly; many don’t.

So, with all of those caveats aside, there are some interesting points.

There’s a general third/third/third split in updating: when new Fedora
release comes out, a third of users update almost immediately, another
third update by end-of-life when the “N+1″ release is out, and the final
third are end up as a long tail which persists forever.

The chart basically starts with

An IP redirect is sent by a (typically) router when it determines that a packet 
it has received would be better routed by an alternate path and it informs the 
source by sending it an ICMP redirect.  In this case, it would seem your system 
received a redirect telling your system that 91.198.174.192 is directly 
connected to em1.

I would use wireshark to try and trap ICMP messages looking for the source of 
the redirects.

I have checked my DHCP report from another machine and it shows me still

The combination of the same IP address on two different network interfaces is 
prohibited for obvious reasons. At least via the WebUI.
But no one defends leave one network interface on the router DHCP static leas, 
and make local static profile with the same IP with other network interface, 
making sure that both interfaces are not simultaneously in operation.
However if someone decides to do the same on the LAN, there goes a trouble.
Also not to be excluded, in the absence of a morning dose of caffeine, the one 
that set the same address at the two interfaces can confuse imself.
All in all it's just a call to the circus.

Just following up, since I wasn't clear.  My comment was along the same
lines as the original poster, trying to see what would happen if I
assigned the same IP to wireless or wired network interfaces on my
laptop, where only one of them would be active at any one time.

The reason I tried, was that it was annoying having changing addresses,
one way or another.  Whether that was the IP address, or the named
address attached to the current IP.

For instance, my hostname might be wired.example.com or
wireless.example.com, because the IP changed.  Either change brought
about their own set of nuisances.

And, no, the common Fedora approach of associating your desired machine
hostname against 127.0.0.1 is not a sensible alternative, either.

Having multiple interfaces is a nuisance, and the best I could come up
with was having to use the GUI to manually disconnect one device or the
other, not letting any automatic system attempt it.

A whole slew of other problems came about should both interfaces be up
and active at the same time.

Surely "hot-swapping" IP addresses between interfaces wont work very well, 
since forgetting DHCP its ARP that will cause a problem.
Each previously communicating host will have a MAC address logged in its ARP 
table for the offending IP address.
If the IP address changes MAC addresses, the ARP entries on all other hosts 
must time-out in order to be renewed via an ARP broadcast.

Re: DHCP Reservations

2015-02-03 Thread Roger Heflin
On both a dd-wrt and a recent asus router I have successfully got the
older bonding module to bring up wireless and wired in a
active/passive mode (wired is active if there).  Both interfaces
would have the same IP and mac address and I can unplug the wired and
immediately have it switch over to wireless with no obvious drops.
I can also switch back to a wired connection with no drops (usually
done in the middle of a big data transfer to speed it up). This is
outside of network manager, and was a major pain to get it working
consistently after a reboot, but I believe it now works consistently
on reboots.I believe the bonding module does force arps when it
switches interfaces.

It would help if you told us what your preferred file share
service is.


I subscribe to a few free ones.
But just for an example, try sendspace.com, among
others.
I see no way to make TB use sendspace and prompt me
for my user id and passwd on the chosen provider,
and upload the file I just tried to attach to a message,
and if too large, TB prompts the
user to use a share service.


I'm using Dropbox with it via the addon dropbox-for-filelink.  These
seem to be the only supported services:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/filelink-large-attachments


I did indeed install dropbox, and restarted TB.
It still does not show dropbox as one of the share
services.
So, perhaps you could clue me in on how to make it work.


I installed this:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/dropbox-for-filelink/


I tried to install it. TB's Tools->Add-On->Get Extensions shows this
banner:

Secure connection failed

An error occurred during a connection to services.addons.mozilla.org.
Peer's Certificate has been revoked. (Error code:
sec_error_revoked_certificate)

 The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the
authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
 Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

 Try again



But I was able to download it using FF and installed it on TB

But attaching a large file and clicking on Link on battom bar that
appears on TB
still does not list dropbox as an option to upload to.




I just attach a file normally. If it's over the size set in preferences,
then TB asks me if I want to send a link

http://imgur.com/mhd0C4k


I tried it. When I "authenticate" with my email address and pword,
it just spins forever.
Yet, when I login via FF, my login works just fine.

Wiping a filesystem (and certainly using a force option) is a bad idea
if the filesystem is mounted. You should have unmounted it before you
did the wipefs, but I'm sure you knew that.

"lsof +d /mountpoint" or "lsof +D /mountpoint" should show you what is
using the filesystem if a "umount" doesn't work. In dire straits, you
could try "umount -f" to force an unmount, but again if something is
using the filesystem, that could be bad.

Also, just in case you're using LVM, make sure you disable/delete any
logical volumes in the volume group ("lvchange" and "lvremove") and
disable/delete the volume group as well ("vgchange" and "vgremove").
I'd also recommend destroying the PVs associated with the deleted VGs
before you try to delete the RAID.


curious, that creating an encrypted raid system on fedora seems to be an
irreversible action.


IIRC, it's a one-way encryption of the data. If that's the case, of
course it's irreversible. If you're talking about not being able to get
rid of an encrypted filesystem, you're just not doing it correctly. All
filesystems can be deleted unless there's something specific in the
hardware that prevents it (protected partitions of FLASH drives, for
example).


Now, with part of the raid file system "wipefs"-ed, above, I fear
rebooting and hanging when it does not come up.


Make sure the filesystem is not in your /etc/fstab file (or has the
mount option "noauto") so the system doesn't try to mount it on the
reboot.

This should be remote user. I want to use it as a sound server from
anywhere in the house.

This should be common use case. What's the trick to making it work, or
does someone need to go the the basement each time ?


The desktop install of Fedora should permit whomever is logged in at
the console to play audio. If you don't have a user logged in at the
console, then pulse is probably not even running since it's spawned
by the X session startup.

You can run pulse at boot as the root user to make it act like a sound
server, but you'll need to configure it to use various sinks as outputs.
Have a look at "man pulse-daemon.conf", "man default.pa" and
"man pulse-cli-syntax" for details on how to set that up.

If you want a media server (e.g. DLNA), then there are a number of
packages available such as minidlna and mediatomb (both available from
the repos).

Re: What are *.xz compressed kernel modules for (Fedora 21)

Hi,

(xz files).
Under

What are the *.xz compressed kernel modules for ? In fedora 20 we had
only *.ko files under /lib/modules.

It seems to me that after booting, when running modprobe, only the
*.ko modules are used.

Just wonder what would happen If I would (accidentally or by purpose)
delete the /lib/modules folder in fedora 21 (I don't intend to do it
before getting an answer here...)

I would not delete /lib/modules otherwise the kernel would fail I suspect.
/lib is not a physical directory as such, /lib is a point to /usr/lib, 
so when you do a ls /lib/modules what you are listing is actually 
/usr/lib/modules.

Adobe not providing linux flash updates

2015-02-03 Thread Robert Moskowitz
www.cnn.com is telling me that my version of flash-player is out of date 
with security risks so it won't display any video news.  Go and update 
your flash player.


On this F21 system I am using:

adobe-linux-x86_64.repo

which has in it:

baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/

yum.log shows:

Jan 19 18:08:31 Updated: flash-plugin-11.2.202.429-release.x86_64
Jan 26 08:51:24 Updated: flash-plugin-11.2.202.440-release.x86_64

So supposedly I am current to Jan 26.  But cnn is not a happy camper.  
There have been a couple other sites complaining as well. Even one that 
said my version of Firefox was out of date, but that was only a warning.

I'd just take a few flash free days until adobe gets it fixed to be a

Fedora 21 shutting down after logging in?

2015-02-03 Thread Richard Shaw
I'm troubleshooting some video problems with a used laptop I got for cheap.

For the day is was pretty nice, Dell Latitude D620 with Nvidia Quadro
graphics (the problem I'm troubleshooting).

I was looking through the journal when I saw this shortly after logging in:

Why does systemd think I'm trying to shut down the computer right after
logging in?

The computer doesn't actually shut down and I'll get a usable desktop after
what I assumed was a hard lock but it takes well over 5 minutes, I haven't
put a stopwatch to it.

Thanks,
Richard

 Our hw engineers need to analyse the behavior of the device.
 However, I don't think you have such instrument to provide
 the required information. If we don't know the reason, we
 couldn't give you the proper solution. Besides, your solution
 would work if and only if reloading the driver is helpful.

 The issue have to debug from the hardware, and I have no idea
 about what the software could do before analysing the hw. Maybe
 you could try the following driver first to check if it is useful.

No Ed.
I see the
Stopping ..etc
live as I am booting!!!
Every time!!!

I still do not quite get what problem the OP is having.
Slowness in and of itself is not necessarily a technical problem.

If the OP has a slow cpu old computer, with (perhaps) a
small amount of RAM and a with (perhaps) slow (4200RPM)
disk drive, then it is going to take a while to finish initializing
all the daemons and hardware until the UI can respond to
user. Also, having a small amount of swap or no swap space
could make things a lot worse :), some apps might not even
start, let alone run.
I hope the OP tells us more about his HW specs and swap size.

It's older, but not that old... Dual core intel @ 2GHz, 3GB DDR2 ram. The
hard drive activity stops after the initial login so I don't think that's a
factor. Not sure about swap but it's the default from a Live Workstation
install.

I'm not actually sure what's going on After login I get a dark textured
screen with mouse cursor only. After I wake the screen up after going into
dpms I get the gnome-shell "lock screen" and after unlocking I get a full
desktop. It's really weird like gnome-shell is loading but not showing
itself until after a lock/unlock cycle.

Well, well.  It seems it may be related to systems running GNOME or GNOMEish 
systems.

Maybe another reason I'm happy to be running mostly KDE.  :-)

You might want to configure the screen locker (/usr/bin/mate-screensaver).
My DT is Mate, so I will show how I configure the screen saver from the 
Mate DT :


click on
System-> Preferences->Look and Feel->ScreenSaver

You should see
Activate Screensaver when computer is idle (and a sliding bar to select 
the idle time)
Lock Screen when Screensaver is Active (If this is checked, you might 
want to uncheck

it or increase the time which is considered idle by gnome)

Seeing as I don't get a usable desktop until AFTER the first lock/unlock
cycle, I certainly don't want to increase it.

My DT is Mate, so I will show how I configure the screen saver
from the Mate DT :

click on
System-> Preferences->Look and Feel->ScreenSaver

You should see
Activate Screensaver when computer is idle (and a sliding bar to
select the idle time)
Lock Screen when Screensaver is Active (If this is checked, you
might want to uncheck
it or increase the time which is considered idle by gnome)


Seeing as I don't get a usable desktop until AFTER the first 
lock/unlock cycle, I certainly don't want to increase it.


Thanks,

So, if the idle time is set short, and lock is enabled, then
you HAVE to accept the current behaviour as normal - Caveat Emptor!

Umm... I don't know where you're trying to go with this but I'm not
interested in a philosophical debate.

The fact I only get a desktop after a lock/unlock cycle is a symptom and
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with systemd thinking it needs to
shut the computer down or not. It's not a critical system so I'm not
terribly interested in band-aids either but troubleshooting ideas are
welcome.

Thanks,
Richard

From https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-02.html :

“Revisions

February 2, 2015 - removed Flash Player version 11.x from the list of
affected versions.  Version 11.x and earlier do not support the
functionality affected by CVE-2015-0313. ”

So they found that Linux/Firefox isn't affected IIUC.

Go to about:plugins in Firefox, if the displayed version of Adobe
Flash isn't *.440, try deleting
~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE_NAME/pluginreg.dat and refresh
about:plugins or restart Firefox.

I've hit a similar issue recently on a different website.
