samba installed from scratch on fc9 doesn't work for me
by Massimo Maiurana 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

hi all, I've just joined this list :) I'm facing a problem with a brand new installation on fedora 9. I did a system update right after the installation, so the samba packages are of the latest available version (3.2.0-17.fc9). at the first run, all the tree of tdb files were created under /var/lib/samba. now I try to create a new user: [root@barbara Scrivania]# smbpasswd -a barbara New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Added user barbara. looks like the user was created, but in the log I can see a bunch of lines like this: lib/account_pol.c: account_policy_get(324) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field $n.... ...where $n is a number between 1 and 10, so basically I get ten of those lines. every attempt to change user's password ends with this: [barbara@barbara ~]$ smbpasswd Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: cli_pipe_validate_current_pdu: RPC fault code DCERPC_FAULT_OP_RNG_ERROR received from remote machine 127.0.0.1 pipe \samr fnum 0x7672! machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : NT code 0x1c010002. Failed to change password for barbara also, if I try to connect to the server locally from the same machine this is what I get: [barbara@barbara ~]$ smbclient \\\\barbara\\Ufficio -U barbara Enter barbara's password: Domain=[BARBARA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.0-17.fc9] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME it would look like the requested share is non-existent, but unfortunately it isn't so: [barbara@barbara ~]$ smbclient -L barbara Enter barbara's password: Domain=[BARBARA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.0-17.fc9] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Ufficio Disk Ufficio IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version 3.2.0-17.fc9) SCX-4x16_Series Printer Samsung SCX-4x16 Series Domain=[BARBARA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.0-17.fc9] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- GRECOELEVATORI BARBARA and indeed the shared directory exists: [barbara@barbara ~]$ ls -l /home/barbara/Documenti totale 4 drwxr-xr-x 28 barbara barbara 4096 1 ago 10:19 Ufficio in the same lan there is also a win98 client, and neither it is able to access to the public share. using "map to guest = Bad User" I'm able at least to access the printer but not the share. here is my smb.conf stripped from commented and empty lines: [global] workgroup = grecoelevatori server string = Samba Server Version %v lanman auth = yes client lanman auth = yes ntlm auth = no client ntlmv2 auth = no map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user passdb backend = tdbsam load printers = yes cups options = raw [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes [Ufficio] comment = Ufficio path = /home/barbara/Documenti/Ufficio public = yes writable = yes printable = no browseable = yes and here is what I see in the log when trying to access the public share, either from localhost and from the win98 client: [2008/08/20 15:56:44, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1152) '/home/barbara/Documenti/Ufficio' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [Ufficio] Error was Permission denied bug in the fedora package? in this version of samba? in me :)? again, this does happens on an installation from scratch, do not really know if all is fine when there are a previous installation and an existing /var/lib/samba. thanks in advance, and sorry for my english. -- Massimo Maiurana massimo<at>ragusa.linux.it http://massimo.solira.org GPG keyID #7044D601 Articolo 33 - [...]Enti e privati hanno il diritto di istituire scuole ed istituti di educazione, senza oneri per lo Stato.[...]

Fedora 9 update causes NetworkManager not to work wireless
by Luis Orlindo Tedeschi 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I am having problems with NetworkManager and wireless network. When I installed Fedora 9 NetworkManager was working fine and able to connect to wireless networks. However, after I did the first update suggested by the OS, NetworkManager stopped being able to recognize wireless networks. I formatted and installed Fedora 9 twice to confirm the problem. I could not however identify which update is causing this problem. Anybody having the same problem? Thanks.

Mysteries of pulseaudio
by Timothy Murphy 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Sound is working fine for me on my Fedora-9 Thinkpad T43, but when I boot I get the message that pulseaudio is not working, and sound is reverting to (I think) ac97. I see in /var/log/messages the messages Aug 23 10:22:46 carrie pulseaudio[2317]: pid.c: Daemon already running. Aug 23 10:22:46 carrie pulseaudio[2317]: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. However, pulseaudio daemon does not appear to be running now. This seems to be a purely academic question, but I'd be interested to know (a) why pulseaudio is not running, and (b) whether this matters? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

encrypted swap question
by mike cloaked 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

I have a machine with f9 clean installed and encrypted /, encrypted swap and encrypted /opt partitions. Of course during boot you are asked for the luks passphrase for all three partitions. I have been able to avoid the passphrase prompt for /opt, by placing a keyfile in /root and added this key to luks for /opt and referred from /etc/crypttab so that /opt gets mounted during boot without the need to have user input. That works fine. I would like to to the same with the swap partition - but if I make a second keyfile in /root and refer to it on the swap partition line in /etc/crypttab in the same way as for /opt then it ignores this during boot and asks the user for the luks passphrase for the swap partition after asking for the passphrase for the root partition. The /etc/crypttab line has luks-sda6 /dev/sda6 /root/keyfileswap where /root/keyfileswap has been added as another key to the swap partition using cryptsetup lukesAddKey I note from the man entry for crypttab that for swap partitions /dev/urandom should be allowable also but changing the cryptab line to luks-sda6 /dev/sda6 /dev/urandom still gives a prompt to enter the luks passphrase for this swap partition immediately after the analogous prompt for the / partition which opens fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

microphone not recording
by Marcelo Garcia 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi. I have been trying to get my mic work with Skype and Fedora 9. Skype only works when the device in "Sound In" is set to "ICH6,0", not the "Default Device (default)". The test call works, but I cannot hear my voice. The default (System-> preferences-> Hardware-> sound-> Sound Capture) is set to ALSA. The default mixer is "Intel ICH6 (Alsa mixer)". I tried to use the "Sound Recorder" tool to see if the mic was working, but when I try to use, the file is saved, but again no sound. I think the problem could be in permission to the device. Which one? /dev/dsp? Thanks Marcelo

OFF-TOPIC: Fedora 7 already installed, can't install XP on empty partition
by Andre Costa 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hi, this is somehow off-topic, but hopefully someone here has been through this already... I just bought a shiny new Core 2 Duo machine (Intel DG33BU mobo), with a nice 250G SATA disk. Fedora 7 installation went surprisingly well (and fast), only problem was that onboard NIC was not recognized, but upgrading the kernel offline fixed this. Everything is amazingly fast =) BUT... I need this machine to dual-boot to Windows XP (still addicted to some Windows-only games =( ). XP setup CD hangs just after showing "examining hardware configuration" or something like that. It doesn't really hangs, it just switches to a blank screen and sits there forever (I already left it there for more than 15min to no avail). Keyboard is responsive and HD led stays on. CTRL+ALT+DEL reboots as expected. I talked to IT guys at work and they told me they've been through this already lots of times, it seems XP is unable to properly recognize the disk when only Linux is installed on it (?!?), and only solution would be to reformat the whole thing and install XP first. Is that true? My system is configured as: ~ fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 10467 83971755 8e Linux LVM HD specs are: ~ hdparm -I /dev/sda /dev/sda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: SAMSUNG SP2504C Serial Number: S09QJ1SP208120 Firmware Revision: VT100-50 GRUB is installed on MBR. All remaining space is sitting there, waiting for XP to take over... =/ Anyone knows of a workaround? Should I try to create an additional partition on the empty space and format it as VFAT hoping this would make Windoze less stupid? Or am I doomed to remove all partitions and start from scratch, starting with XP? TIA Andre

No audio when recording using Audacity in Fedora 9
by Jonathan Ryshpan 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

I'm using audacity with jack under F9 to record audio coming in through my computer's line input. Everything seems to work OK, except that no signal appears in the input VU meter or in the displayed waveform. The recording is silent. A little web searching turned up this snippet: Audacity doesn't support PulseAudio, nor Esound for the moment. You'll have to kill or suspend pulseaudio before you use this application. Audacity uses the PortAudio cross-platform Audio API which doesnt support pulseaudio. Some work was started on making portaudio support PulseAudio but this does not appear to be under active development currently and does not work in it's current state. In F8 under KDE, I was able to stop the aRts sound server, and record successfully. F9 with Gnome appears to use both PulseAudio and EsounD. It's easy to stop PulseAudio, using something like: pasuspender -- audacity <argument> but there doesn't seem to be any way to stop EsounD. Has anyone used audacity successfully with jack? Or any other way?

F9: Canon LBP2900 no go: "usblp1: error -32 reading printer status"
by Colin Brace 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

Hi all, I am trying to get a Canon LBP2900 laser printer working under F9. Alas, the driver is (apparently) closed and not included in the Caps package, which might be a reason to avoid this printer, but be that as it may, one can download a Linux driver easily enough from Canon: http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010177.asp These are the latest RPMs: 2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-capt-1.60-1.i386.rpm 2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-common-1.60-1.i386.rpm Once installed, CAPS automatically recognizes the printer and selects what appears to be the correct driver: Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5 Likewise, the printer shows up properly in dmesg: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26 usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 26 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x2676 usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=2676 usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-4: Product: Canon CAPT USB Device usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Canon usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 0000A380HGkZ but if I try a test page, nothing happens. The only indication that something is wrong is this error message repeatedly displayed in dmesg: usblp1: error -32 reading printer status Any ideas what is going on here? Thanks. -- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://www.lim.nl
