Apache and umask for document root
by Alex 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, I've set up a virtual host for a joomla website and having some permissions problems. I've seen numerous configurations online about how to set umask for the apache user, but none have worked, including creating a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service) with the following: [Unit] Description=The Apache HTTP Server After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=notify Environment=LANG=C Umask=0006 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -DFOREGROUND ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful # Send SIGWINCH for graceful stop KillSignal=SIGWINCH KillMode=mixed PrivateTmp=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The problem is that the files are owned by the joomla user, but also need to have access (both read and write) to be able to modify some files within the document root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set umask for the apache user? I'm also interested in recommended permissions settings for the joomla document root. Thanks, Alex

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months. Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's even seen a dual layer disk :'( SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable? Is anybody already running them with Fedora? Thanks for any advice/experiences. Dave F

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in: rpm -q --changelog openssh |less as: "* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7 - experimental NSS keys support - correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951) " was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped Fedora 8 ssh. As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader` # ssh-add -s 0 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 0 # ssh-add -s 1 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 1 So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced to reading the source? -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi all: I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on. The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly. I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I suspect a bad battery, working on that.) After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot right after "Starting Switch Root..." I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal, but I didn't see anything obvious to help. I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and reload too quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks, --murph

Xbox 360 controller on Fedora 32
by Greg Woods 16 May '21

16 May '21

It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago) since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK). This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel, but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest). I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this: root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34 print target ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(target)? make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2 Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility. Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver. Thank you, --Greg

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, http://www.sysresccd.org/Download With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage" After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000". Is this file ok to restore? If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000" But here below http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots the file is name like this: "diskimage.pimg" Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly? And how can I restore it?
