Re: Re: Tablet Acer Iconia W500, anyone?

Hi,

the latest Android. Someone please correct if I'm wrong.

Releasing the sources is not enough for me. Android is developed at
closed doors, and the source released afterwards, or not released at all,
like it happened wth 3.0 / Honeycomb. I don't know how hard is to do
something usefull with those sources. Sometimes you find "complete" sources
available but an incomplete/not documented/not automared build process, and
the sources are pretty useless without a huge effort.
Not mentioning that all android devices on the market use ARM cpus. Maybe
the current sources need significant porting effort for x86.
Current Android requires programming for their specic APIs: no X, no
LibreOffice, no Gimp, no Inkscape...
A tablet like the Acer Iconia W500 has the same specs as a current netbook,
so I could use it sometimes as a tradicional netbook and say edit ODT
documents, and sometimes as a tablet, using the touch interface for
multimedia and web browsing. It even helps that by providing a doc with
keyboard, full-size usb and vga ports. So today I could do with it things I
cannot do with a tablet.
My question is, on the tablet side, anyone has tried Fedora on the Iconia,
and found it nice to use with touch-screen only?

This blog and its sequels have detailed instructions on installing F15 on the tablet:
http://www.entirelyunlike.net/?p=56
But it does not answer my question, about the tablet as a real tablet (under Fedora), not as a netbook.
I can't believe there's no one on this list who tried Gnome Shell 3 on any touch-enabled PC or x86 tablet. :-(

Apache AD / LDAP authentication issues.
by Gregory Machin
Hi.
Please advise if you can.
I'm trying to configure apache to authenticate to MS AD server 2008R2,
using LDAP.
I have created a user in AD that is member of "Users" and nothing
else. I can log into my workstation using this user with the password
I set.
My Apache configuration as follows :
# Basic authentication with LDAP against MS AD
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
# AuthLDAPURL specifies the LDAP server IP, port, base DN, scope and filter
# using this format: ldap://host:port/basedn?attribute?scope?filter
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://xxx.xxx.32.2:389
xxx.xxx.32.10:389/DC=ad,DC=mydom,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)"
NONE
# The LDAP bind username and password
AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=apache.serverapp04,CN=Users,DC=ad,DC=mydom,DC=com"
AuthLDAPBindPassword passwordxyz
# we want to allow authentication only through LDAP, no fallback
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthUserFile /dev/null
# make sure REMOTE_USER is set to sAMAccountName
AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute sAMAccountName
# The name of this authentication realm
AuthName "Restricted Dir [Domain Account]"
# To authenticate single domain users, list them here
require ldap-user "greg.machin"
# to authenticate a domain group, specify the full DN
# AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN on
#require ldap-group CN=acl_secure_exchange,OU=Global
Groups,OU=User,DC=frank4dd,DC=com
##### end LDAP #####
When I visit the site I get the expected login prompt, authentication
fails with my own account.
[Thu Dec 01 15:32:03 2011] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(403): [client
xxx.xxx.69.196] [3471] auth_ldap authenticate: using URL
ldap://xxx.xxx.32.2:389
xxx.xxx.32.10:389/DC=ad,DC=mydom,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)
[Thu Dec 01 15:32:03 2011] [info] [client xxx.xxx.69.196] [3471]

[Thu Dec 01 15:32:03 2011] [error] [client xxx.xxx.69.196] user greg:
authentication failure for "/": Password Mismatch
This led me to an issue with the binddn configuration .. So I tried ldapseach
root@nzhmlwks0091:~# ldapsearch -h 192.168.32.2 -p 389 -D
"CN=apache.serverapp04,CN=Users,DC=ad,DC=mydom,DC=com" -w
"passwordxyz"
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C0903A9, comment:
AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v1db1
So the problem is with the binddn , I configured the new user the same
as another user this is know to be working. A member of User and
"Domain Admins" (I don't want this user to have admin rites if I can
avoid it.)
What have I missed what should I change to get this working ?
Thanks

_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "acer_laptop", "us,ara", "",
"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle"

passwordless sudo
by Hiisi
Hi, list!
I'm trying to set up passwordless sudo for myself. It's a shiny brand
new fresh-installed F16. During first boot I had been asked to create
a new user and put him to administrative group. I answered yes and
hence my user is able to run commands using sudo. However in
/etc/sudoers there's not a mention of my user. I've added the
following string to it:
hiisi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Apparently it has no effect - I have to enter password each time sudo
is invoked for the first time.
What the heck and how do I solve this mystery?
