Mount samba share using pam_mount
by Simon Colston 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Fedora Workstation 32 I'm trying to mount a samba share at login using pam_mount. The steps I've taken so far after googling and man-page reading are: 1. In /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml I uncommented the line: <luserconf name=".pam_mount.conf.xml" /> 2. Created the file ~/.pam_mount.conf.xml containing: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <pam_mount> <volume options="uid=%(USERUID),gid=%(USERGID)" user="%(USER)" mountpoint="~/diskstation/home" path="home" server="diskstation.local" fstype="cifs" /> </pam_mount> 3. To add pam_mount.so to pam.d I changed /etc/pam.d/login to: #%PAM-1.0 auth substack system-auth auth optional pam_mount.so auth include postlogin account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth # pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule session required pam_selinux.so close session optional pam_mount.so session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so # pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be executed in the user context session required pam_selinux.so open session required pam_namespace.so session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth session include postlogin -session optional pam_ck_connector.so and /etc/pam.d/gdm-password to: auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so auth substack password-auth auth optional pam_mount.so auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auth include postlogin account required pam_nologin.so account include password-auth password substack password-auth -password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok session required pam_selinux.so close session optional pam_mount.so session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so session required pam_selinux.so open session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session required pam_namespace.so session include password-auth session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start session include postlogin I log out and back in again and... it does not work. (I can mount this share from the command line using the mount command.) So my question is... what am I doing wrong? Simon

Audacity: "Error opening recording device"
by Matti Pulkkinen 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hello, I'm trying to use Audacity to record the line in on my PC, but I always get the following error: Error opening recording device. Error code: -9997 Invalid sample rate Sounds like an easy-to-fix problem, but the same thing happens regardless of what sample rate I choose. Checking with "pacmd list-sinks" I found that the sample rate for my card is 44100 Hz, so that's what I'm trying to use now that I've checked all possible sample rate options Audacity offers. Also, Audacity offers a bunch of different recording devices with names along the lines of "HDA Intel PCH: ALC892 Alt Analog (hw:0,2): Front Mic:0" but the same error happens with all of them too. Based on what I could find online, it seems like people have had this issue mostly on Windows, and then it was to do with either not having updated drivers or having set the device's sample rate incorrectly. Has anyone here run into something like this before on Fedora? Any ideas where to start trying to fix this? -- Terveisin / Regards, Matti Pulkkinen

Strange Samba error
by Patrick O'Callaghan 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

My journal is full of these error messages, occurring every 15 minutes: Jun 30 00:43:38 Bree nmbd[1301]: [2020/06/30 00:43:38.122397, 0] ../../source3/nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:354(find_domain_master_name_query_fail) Jun 30 00:43:38 Bree nmbd[1301]: find_domain_master_name_query_fail: Jun 30 00:43:38 Bree nmbd[1301]: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name SAMBA<1b> for the workgroup SAMBA.

Jun 30 00:43:38 Bree nmbd[1301]: Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup. What I can't figure out is where 'SAMBA<1b>' is coming from (I assume the <1b> is a non-printable byte at the end of the name). My smb.conf file contains: [global] workgroup = SAMBA netbios name = BREESHARE wins support = yes security = user and no other instances of SAMBA. I attach the full file for completeness. Any thoughts? poc

Every second GDM login fails
by Michael Schwendt 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Has anyone also had this before with GNOME Shell in Fedora 32? It is new behavior compared with older releases of Fedora. When I return to a locked screen, my usual habit is to press Return and then to enter the passphrase. That fails even if unhiding the passphrase and verifying that it has been entered correctly. The second time I enter the passphrase, logging in works again. It seems as if the first Return press breaks something.

I need help with sudo.conf
by ToddAndMargo 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Hi All, I am trying to use sudo to work around the following bug I posted: ifdown access denied with USERCTL=yes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1828100 I wish they'd fix the bug, but it does not seems like it is every going to get any attention. So anyway, I fired up `sudovi` and added the following at the end of /etc/sudo.conf`: ## Allows members of the users group to down eno2 %users ALL=/usr/libexec/nm-ifdown eno2 Now when I run it from the command line, I get: $ /usr/libexec/nm-ifdown eno2 Error: failed to load connection: access denied. Questions: 1) I thought `sudovi` caused sudo to reread sudo.conf on its exit. Am I mistaken? And if so, how do I force a reread? 2) what is wrong with the syntax of the command I added to sudo.conf? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USB "insertion" for permanently-connected devices
by Patrick O'Callaghan 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

In other threads I've mentioned I have a USB-powered external SATA dock, which I'm using mainly as a backup device. Currently, I have a script to power it down by doing this sort of thing: echo 1 > /sys/block/sdd/device/delete I can then turn it on again using: echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host6/scan This works, but is a kludge. A cleaner way would be to use: udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdd This works too, but unfortunately also removes the /sys/block/sdd files, meaning I can't turn the thing on again. However, if I physically switch it on and off, it reappears, IOW it causes a USB "insertion" event. Is there a way to cause an insertion event without physically doing anything to the dock? poc

User no boot -
by Bob Goodwin 28 Jun '20

28 Jun '20

My Samba server began refusing my effort to access it as bobg or any thing else I created to test with, it only let me connect as root. Not much of a problem since I rarely needed administrative access to it and the primary users, the iPhone users, still connected without difficulty. The time has come to face the problem, I was able to give it an ipaddress that permits me to deal with the problem, hopefully via ssh. FC24 is almost three years eol'd an about 8 release behind today, I intend to upgrade that with a new Fedora installation in the next few days. But I would like to now how to restore the user authorization. I tried creating users with new passwords but it simply will not boot for any user. How can I fix that?

questions about the Athenaeum game manager
by David 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

I am not a gamer, and have never used Steam, or similar services. I play FreeCell and Mahjongg sometimes, and sometimes use the flatpak version. I stumbled upon the Athenaeum game manager today in Gnome Software, and out of boredom installed Athenaeum and installed thirteen free games using its menu, and played one. I do not quite understand the idea behind the developer's project. I assume it is still in a prototype phase. The only repo that it gets games from is Flathub. Right ?? with tentative plans to add future other flatpak repos ?? However, the installed version said it was the Fedora flatpak. So I do not understand all that. To scroll down or up while in the Athenaeum window, hold down the left mouse button and then move around ( I have a trackball, and that worked ). From what I can tell, the app or service list a lot of detailed info that is not easy to find without doing some additional research. It seems to be well designed, with a fancy logo. Feel free to enlighten me about this service. It seems to have all the free Gnome and KDE games, and other games that are in Flathub. I guess it would be easier for someone to find a game they have never heard of here, than navigating through all the apps on Flathub. It puts the game icons on the Gnome screen, and then I just moved them to a game folder. If I wanted to play the game, I would just click on the game folder or use the Gnome search bar, as trying to play it from Athenaeum, requires clicking on Library and then clicking on game, and then clicking on play. I guess if I could someday talk to it, and just say "Athenaeum, play Mahjongg," that might be cool. David Locklear

5.6 kernel is slower to boot
by Sreyan Chakravarty 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

Hi, I have just upgraded to Fedora 32 and am using the latest 5.6.10-300 kernel. But I am seeing that is slower to boot than the 5.5 kernel that I was using in Fedora 31. For example, when I enter my LUKS password, it takes a good 30 seconds to start the actual boot process. In 5.5 this use to happen almost instantaneously after I entered my password. Anyone facing anything similar ? Or maybe knows why this is happening ? -- Regards, Sreyan
