Can't install XEN guest on Fedora 22

2015-08-27 Thread Jens Pelzetter
Hello everyone,

we have a system (Sun Fire V40z) here were we can only do
Para-Virtualisation using Xen because the CPU does not have
Virtualization Support. With CentOS 6.6 everythink worked fine. We
decided to reinstall the system with Fedora Server 22 because we needed
some more up to date packages.

Now we are stuck with Xen. If we try to create a guest using
Virt-Manager we get this error:

Unable to complete install: 'cannot fill file
'/var/lib/xen/virtinst-vmlinuz.WtErnB': Invalid argument'

Traceback (most recent call last):

efibootmgr help

2015-08-27 Thread Paul Cartwright
ok, I am running fedora 22, along with ubuntu & Windows 10. a new kernel
got installed last night, and I rebooted, but grub doesn't show it, and
still defaults to the ubuntu OS. I am new to this efibootmgr, and google
is letting me down.. This is all new to me, and I am having a problem
understanding what I need to do now...

#df -h

/dev/sda895M  9.5M   86M  11% /boot/efi


grub2-mkconfig works, but grub2-install /dev/sda gives me an error
grub2-install /dev/sda
grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist.
Please specify --target or --directory.


this shows that the default is ubuntu. all I want is to update this & make the 
newest fedora kernel the default.

Problem connecting multiple cleints to NFS-server

2015-08-27 Thread Jouk Jansen
Hi All

I'm running a nfs-server on a Fedora 22 system. When I mount a certain share
on one client all works fine. However if any other client tries to mount the
share also it fails. The only way to get the second client mount the share
is to close the connection on the first client end restart the nfs-server.
Once the second client has mounted the share the first client is not able to
connect anymore. ( until etc..)
The clients support only nfs3.

What did I miss in the configuration of the server?
The server is configured to use ports ip-ports 4000-4003 (can be viewed by
system-comfig-nfs)
Since one connection at each time can be made I do not suspect the firewall
or /etc/exports. The problem starts with multiple clients.
Any hint to solve this problem is welcome.


  Regards
   Jouk

fan blowing heat from cpu would not tend to be a problem. monitor exhaust

it was probably due for the big gold recovery in the sky when i over heated.

it has them. wart supply has to be drop for the various ic's in system.
which are discrete transistors, various ic's, like ssi, msi and lsi, cpu,
gpu, ram, rom, usb.

plus, the screen could have several voltages for it. a lot of laptops feed
screen with 1 voltage and in the screen housing are regulators and hv
inverters.

being you gained experiance of opening up laptops, you might consider
doing so with this unit and check temps of the chips. mainly the usb
and the regulators. again, it could be regulator for left side usb and
could be cured with fresh heat compound.

you should told them 'M' meant multimeter. to be more exact, dVOM,
"digital Volt Ohm Multimeter".

in early days VOM was actually Volt Ohm Milli-amp.

i have 2 meters that are multi meters.

1st measures ac/dc volts, ohms, milli-amps, diodes, conductance,
inductance, capacitance, ppm, and frequency.

2nd measures ac/dc volts, ohms, milli-amps, diodes, dwell, rpm.

Mapping firewalld services to ports and protocols

2015-08-27 Thread Robert Moskowitz
Over on the Samba list, I am trying to figure out what firewalld 
services I need opened for all the things that a Samba AD does.  I could 
'simply' take the list of iptables entries others have used and add 
those ports, but I really WANT to learn about firewalld and what its 
'services' do.  per: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD



 Services

A service can be a list of local ports and destinations and additionally 
also a list of firewall helper modules automatically loaded if a service 
is enabled. The use of predefined services makes it easier for the user 
to enable and disable access to a service. Service configuration options 
and generic file information are described in the firewalld.service(5) 
man page.



And that manpage does not tell me what the services are and what they 
map to.  It is easy to learn the list of supported services:


firewall-cmd  --get-services
RH-Satellite-6 amanda-client bacula bacula-client dhcp dhcpv6 
dhcpv6-client dns
ftp high-availability http https imaps ipp ipp-client ipsec kerberos 
kpasswd ldap
ldaps libvirt libvirt-tls mdns mountd ms-wbt mysql nfs ntp openvpn pmcd 
pmproxy
pmwebapi pmwebapis pop3s postgresql proxy-dhcp radius rpc-bind samba 
samba-client

smtp ssh telnet tftp tftp-client transmission-client vnc-server wbem-https


But what does 'samba' and 'samba-client' equal?  What about 'kerberos'?  
Is 'kpasswd' == kerberos password?


See the challenge here?

So I have done SOME googling and have come up empty.  I decided to try 
here first, as Fedora users MAY have been working this out longer than 
any other list I am active on.  If no help here, I will join the 
firewalld user list.


thanks

efibootmgr acts on the firmware boot menu.  The firmware boots grub, which
lives on the efi system partition (It's a file on a vfat filesystem, not
code in an MBR).  grub gives you a menu and boots the kernel.

This means that both ubuntu and fedora can have a grub binary installed,
each with a config file.  Figure out which one you are booting first.  If
it's the ubuntu grub, this is all expected and you need to manually update
the associated grub.cfg (not the binary, just the config file!)  If it's
Fedora, also manually update, but also look into where the kernel failed to
update grub.cfg.

TL;DR:  What is the actual full command you used when invoking
grub2-mkconfig ?

That looks like it isn't extracting the kernel from your VM partition or 
image. It might be being blocked by selinux if you are in enforcing mode, 
so try setenforce 0 first to switch to permissive mode ( setenforce 1 will 
get you back to enforcing afterwards).

unfortunately that was the first thing we tried. No change.

ubuntu was the last OS installed, and it created a grub.cfg file,
/boot/grub/grub.cfg .
so I boot back into fedora, but I have to edit the grub menu to use the
newest kernel, which isn't listed.

Solved - Re: Mapping firewalld services to ports and protocols

2015-08-27 Thread Robert Moskowitz



On 08/27/2015 08:37 AM, Robert Moskowitz wrote:
Over on the Samba list, I am trying to figure out what firewalld 
services I need opened for all the things that a Samba AD does.  I 
could 'simply' take the list of iptables entries others have used and 
add those ports, but I really WANT to learn about firewalld and what 
its 'services' do.  per: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD


I was pointed to:

/usr/lib/firewalld/services

And you can define more.  As I learned reading:

http://www.certdepot.net/rhel7-get-started-firewalld/




  Services

A service can be a list of local ports and destinations and 
additionally also a list of firewall helper modules automatically 
loaded if a service is enabled. The use of predefined services makes 
it easier for the user to enable and disable access to a service. 
Service configuration options and generic file information are 
described in the firewalld.service(5) man page.



And that manpage does not tell me what the services are and what they 
map to.  It is easy to learn the list of supported services:


firewall-cmd  --get-services
RH-Satellite-6 amanda-client bacula bacula-client dhcp dhcpv6 
dhcpv6-client dns
ftp high-availability http https imaps ipp ipp-client ipsec kerberos 
kpasswd ldap
ldaps libvirt libvirt-tls mdns mountd ms-wbt mysql nfs ntp openvpn 
pmcd pmproxy
pmwebapi pmwebapis pop3s postgresql proxy-dhcp radius rpc-bind samba 
samba-client

smtp ssh telnet tftp tftp-client transmission-client vnc-server wbem-https


But what does 'samba' and 'samba-client' equal?  What about 
'kerberos'?  Is 'kpasswd' == kerberos password?


See the challenge here?

So I have done SOME googling and have come up empty.  I decided to try 
here first, as Fedora users MAY have been working this out longer than 
any other list I am active on.  If no help here, I will join the 
firewalld user list.


thanks

You can try running run pygrub directly to narrow down where the problem 
is, eg.

pygrub --output-directory=/var/lib/xen /path/to/your/vm

If this works you should get a menu and it should download the kernel and 
initrd of the option you select to /var/lib/xen .

I always wondered why that sort of thing wasn't the default.  Other than
listening to some music being played from a backgrounded tab, you can't
do much with a web page that you're not currently looking at.  It
doesn't seem practical to let it suck up your CPU while you're trying to
do other things.

Currently Firefox tabs are not separate processes. Mozilla has been
working on it for a while now but it will mean a change to the add-ons
system. See http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/mozil

I don't think it follows from this that javascript running in
background tabs couldn't be suspended. Actually, the existence of the
extension Roberto mentioned above seems to prove that they can.

No doubt that is true, but my point is that Mozilla are working on a
more comprehensive change so I doubt they'll bother with an interim
solution such as this. Especially as they could have done it at any
time in the past.

As the logged-in user, try running

xfconf-query -lv -c keyboards

and see what response you get. If you see something like

/Default/Numlock false


then you can try:

xfconf-query -c keyboards -p /Default/Numlock -s true

to set it to true. Here's a transcript of what I did:

[rick@prophead ~]$ xfconf-query -lv -c keyboards
/Default/Numlock  true
[rick@prophead ~]$ xfconf-query -c keyboards -p /Default/Numlock -s false
[rick@prophead ~]$ xfconf-query -lv -c keyboards
/Default/Numlock  false
[rick@prophead ~]$ xfconf-query -c keyboards -p /Default/Numlock -s true

This just demonstrates that it was set to "true". I set it to "false"
and verified it, then put it back to "true". I have no idea if setting
it to the other state will have any effect on your issue, but you can
try it. I don't believe numlock is set on my machine as my keypad does
cursor movement unless I actually push the NumLock key even though the
xfconf-query reports it as "true".

A few things happen in sequence for Linux on UEFI systems.

After the system powers on, it loads and runs the UEFI firmware. The 
firmware initializes hardware according to a local configuration, and 
then searches the UEFI boot list for the first available boot device.  
That list is what efibootmgr lists and edits.  In the system you've 
shown, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Windows all have their own boot loaders 
installed in the list.  You can select a boot loader from that list 
(typically) by hitting the F12 key on your keyboard during the UEFI boot 
sequence.


UEFI then loads shim.efi, which loads grub2.  In your case, it is 
loading the grub2 binary that Ubuntu installed, which searches for a 
configuration file in a different location than the grub2 binary that 
Fedora installed.  You don't see your new Fedora kernel there, because 
Fedora is updating a different configuration file.  You might have other 
options, but you should have at least these two: 1) you can manually 
edit the Ubuntu grub.cfg file and copy the kernel sections from Fedora 
there and 2) you can hit F12 to choose whether you want to load Fedora 
or Ubuntu's grub.


After UEFI loads grub2, grub2 looks for its configuration file, parses 
it, and gives you a menu to select which kernel to boot.


grub2 then loads the kernel and initrd into RAM, and passes execution 
there.  The initrd contains a small filesystem in which /sbin/init is 
run, and the "real" root filesystem is mounted.  The root filesystem is 
pivoted so that the real root filesystem is on /, and its /sbin/init is run.



grub2-mkconfig works, but grub2-install /dev/sda gives me an error
grub2-install /dev/sda
grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist.
Please specify --target or --directory.


You don't need to use grub2-install on UEFI systems (and rarely on BIOS 
systems either).  It would normally build a custom grubx64.efi, but 
doing so would break under Secure Boot.



this shows that the default is ubuntu. all I want is to update this & make the 
newest fedora kernel the default.


You could:
# efibootmbr -o 0002,0004,0003,,0001


I thought when a new kernel was installed, grub would automagically add
it... not with efi?


It does, as long as you've configured UEFI to use Fedora's grub.

I tried booting into ubuntu & running the grub-mkconfig, hoping it would
update the grub.cfg, but it still didn't show the latest fedora kernel
when I booted..

wow, not exactly sure what happened...

I ran that script, using 0009,000C,0004,0003 . when I did the efibootmgr
-v, it still showed the existing sequence, 0004,0003.

then I rebooted. I was all ready to hit F12, when... there were new
entries, and it defaulted to fedora, with my newest kernel, 4.1.6-200 ..
I am assuming the new entries are the rest of the fedora kernels installed..

UEFI is everything before the grub2 menu, essentially.

Ubuntu and Fedora keep their kernels on different filesystems.  In each 
OS, grub2-mkconfig will locate only their own kernels, and update only 
the cfg file for their own installation of grubx64.efi.

No, it isn't.  Your output lists:

Boot0002* Fedora
HD(8,GPT,ac2fc695-5de9-47d0-a19b-01e236404130,0x5ae5d800,0x2f800)/File(\EFI\fedora\shim.efi)

That boot entry identifies a filesystem (sda8) where 
\EFI\fedora\shim.efi is a bootloader.


Boot entries 9 and C are generic entries that will load an EFI 
bootloader from the default path on partitions 8 and 1.

Neither am I, but you've duplicated several of your UEFI boot items.  
Fedora is now 2 and 5.  Ubuntu is now 4, 8, and 10.

Yeah, your default is 9, which probably doesn't exist.  The boot order 
lists 5 first, and that's Fedora's grub2, so that's what you end up booting.

The client give me just a "mount fail" due to "data loss".

Where do I find the logs on the server side? (it a Fedora 22 system)
