Automount using LDAP on Fedora Core 5
by Souji Thenria 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

Dear members of this mailing list, I have a rather odd question: Can anyone help me get automount version 4.1.4-33 to work with LDAP on a Fedora Core Release 5? (Fedora Core Release 5 is by now somewhat 16 years old, but for internal reasons it is still needed and cannot be replaced easily) The background to this request is as follows: I am currently migrating from NIS to LDAP; therefore, I have migrated the automount maps, which were previously stored on the NIS server, to LDAP using the schema defined in RFC2307bis. So far, automount has worked for every machine I have migrated. However, when I migrated the Fedora Core 5 box, I could not get the autofs daemon to work. This seems odd to me because on another (older) machine, automount works in conjunction with pam_ldap in version 4.1.3-238. Also, running "/usr/lib/autofs/autofs-ldap-auto-master" shows all the correct keys from the auto.master map. However, trying to access a share just results in a log message saying "failed to mount /some/mount". Looking at the LDAP server logs, I can see that the master map and its keys are requested, but there are no follow-up requests for the other maps. It looks to me like I am either missing some crucial configuration or there is a bug in this version. As I could not find anything for the latter, I suspect some configuration might be wrong or missing. Does anyone have any idea what might be missing? Regards, Souji -- Souji Thenria

f38 & snapd
by François Patte 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

Bonjour, on f38 it is possible to install snapd but it seems impossible to use it: while I wanted to install nextcloud via snap, I get this error message: error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs": ----- mount: /tmp/syscheck-mountpoint-2175242409: type de système de fichiers « squashfs » inconnu. I installed squashfs-tools but no change...

Wireshark and serial ports
by Steve Underwood 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Hi, Has anyone used wireshark while using USB serial ports with Fedora 37? As soon as I start wireshark the communication on my serial ports breaks. Thinking this might be something to do with wireshark scanning for available interfaces, I tried starting wireshark with "wireshark -i enp3c0", but it still seems to list all the interfaces, and it still messes up my serial communication. I'm sure I was doing things like this in 2022 without any trouble. Regards, Steve

Cups spamming the journal
by Patrick O'Callaghan 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

This came up a while back so I thought I'd mention a workaround. Background: for no apparent reason, CUPS keeps reporting "Expiring subscriptions..." to the journal, once per second, forever. Despite diligent Googling I couldn't find a definitive solution (or indeed explanation) for this, so I finally reported it to BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2233078 A proper resolution is hopefully around the corner, but in the meantime the BZ thread mentions a workaround which did solve it for me, at least temporarily. poc

docker firewall?
by Alex 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Hi, I'm a long-time Linux sysadmin but haven't done much with docker and containers or firewalls beyond iptables. I have inherited a fedora38 system where another admin has installed python3-docker, but port 8080 is now exposed to the Internet. I have a basic iptables firewall that I set up some time ago (when the system was probably fedora35), but iptables also shows some docker rules: # iptables -nvL|grep ^Chain|grep DOCKER Chain DOCKER (2 references) Chain DOCKER-ISOLATION-STAGE-1 (1 references) Chain DOCKER-ISOLATION-STAGE-2 (2 references) Where do these chains/policies come from? Is it also an iptables firewall or is it using ufw? Why wouldn't it use firewall-cmd? Isn't that the default desktop firewall app now for fedora?

firebird-emu (Virtual Ti-Nspire emulator) on Fedora 38
by olivares33561 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Dear fellow fedora users, I have installed firebird-emu : https://github.com/nspire-emus/firebird I followed instructions, namely dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:Vogtinator:firebird-emu/Fed… dnf install firebird-emu and installed it. Since there is no Fedora 38 link. I tried rpmfusions one and it crashed. I have done this several times. I gave up and tried the one on Votinator repo. It works partially, but I cannot load it. On an amd64 machine, it works, but there is no keypad. How can these errors be fixed? I cannot load flash/boot in configuration. I get error: [olivares@fedora mptmp]$ firebird-emu & [1] 2861 [olivares@fedora mptmp]$ QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread qt.qpa.qgnomeplatform.theme: The desktop style for QtQuick Controls 2 applications is not available on the system (qqc2-desktop-style).

Upgraded machine to Fedora 38 and now suspending after 15 minues??
by Michael D. Setzer II 21 Aug '23

21 Aug '23

Have 4 machines that are headless machines. Boot up, and have VNC run to allow access using XFCE sessions. After upgrading the one to Fedora 38, have the machine going off after 15 minutes since no user is logged in locally to machine?? Found a page that mentions these options. sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power | grep sleep sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0 But after doing it on machine with VNC session, it still was shutting off since vnc is running XFCE? Hooked up monitor, and logged in using gnome, and went in power options and it seemed to show and auto suspend option and turned it off. See if that keeps it up, but there was a not on site that if all users logged out, machines would go back to 15 minute suspend?? Hasn't been 15 minutes? So not sure if logging in with gnome and turning off the suspend will keep it up. This was my backup machine that doesn't have anything other than BOINC running on it, but others have web, mariadb and other things running so shutting down after 15 minutes is a NO GO... Is there a best way to correct this? Installing lightdm maybe and disabling the gdm completely. Thanks. This is a major issue for my setup. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

mirrored monitor problems
by Robert Moskowitz 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

I have an external monitor connected to my F38 Xfc3 system. When I resumed from suspend Sat night, I had problems getting it recognized; that is behind me. Every so often the external monitor goes off, then back on. I can't tell if it is the system or the monitor. It just happened and I got the messages that occured around that time: Aug 20 21:39:32 lx140e systemd[1454]: Started dbus-:1.2-org.xfce.Xfconf@1316.service. Aug 20 21:39:33 lx140e audit: BPF prog-id=386 op=LOAD Aug 20 21:39:33 lx140e systemd[1]: Starting fprintd.service - Fingerprint Authentication Daemon...

The first one almost seems so... thanks

slowness with kernel 6.4.10 and software raid
by Ranjan Maitra 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

Hi, I am at a bit of a loss. After about two months, I decided to reboot a few days ago, and rebooted into 6.4.10 kernel. Everything came up, but the machine is very unresponsive, and practically unusable when I am at it. It is better when working on it remote, but it is still slower. I was going to reboot but I came up with the following: $ reboot Operation inhibited by "Disk Manager" (PID 1044 "udisksd", user root), reason is "Unknown (mdraid-check-job)". Please retry operation after closing inhibitors and logging out other users. Alternatively, ignore inhibitors and users with 'systemctl reboot -i'. This pointed me to the possibility of the issue being raid. So, I looked at $ cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md126 : active raid1 sda[1] sdc[0] 1855870976 blocks super external:/md127/0 [2/2] [UU] [=>...................] check = 8.8% (165001216/1855870976) finish=45465.2min speed=619K/sec md127 : inactive sda[1](S) sdc[0](S) 10402 blocks super external:imsm unused devices: <none> I am not sure what it is doing, and I am a bit concerned that this will go on at this rate for about 20 days. No knowing what will happen after that, and also if this problem will recur with another reboot. The machine is a 10 core, 20-thread Dell T5810. It is running a fully updated Fedora 38 installation. Any help/suggestions on what to do? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan
