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.

HP laptop and wifi on Fedora 35 fix wifi adapter.
by Cătălin George Feștilă 16 Apr '22

16 Apr '22

After the upgrade with F35, I got some errors on wifi. Now I saw the adapter is not shown but is listed on hardware. If I press the wifi button then start the airplane mode and is set to on. How can be fixed? [mythcat@fedora ~]$ lshw -C network -short WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install. I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run. The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it. None of the default options for Brother printers came close. The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things: Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs. Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page. The printer never comes out of deep sleep. How do I fix this? It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did. In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to installing a printer on Linux: Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort. I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts. BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

cisco ise helps safeguard your business. It lets you control access throughout your network, see the user and device details, and stop/contain any threats. You can also use it to enforce security policies throughout your network. As a result, it helps prevent any technical issues and strengthens your cybersecurity measures. In short, you can manage your network security with more ease. Everything can be handled in one place, as opposed to needing multiple different applications open at once. https://www.fieldengineer.com/blogs/cisco-ise-deployment-guide

NFS client names not mapping
by Robert Nichols 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

In a Fedora 35 VM, all users and groups in an NFS mounted filesystem are mapped to "nobody" even though the names and numeric IDs are the same on the server and client. The messages logged are of the form: "name 'xxxx@local' does not map into domain 'localdomain'" I have no nfs-idmapd service running. This same setup is running fine on a CentOS 8 VM. I didn't have to do anything special to make this work in CentOS 8. What am I missing here in a Fedora 35 installed with default configuration in a QEMU/KVM virtual machine? Where does Fedora get its domain name? When I type "hostname --fqdn" I get "hostname: Name or service not known". The CentOS 8 VM apparently gets its domain name from the /etc/hostname file, which contains "cent9-vm.local". This does not appear to work in Fedora 35. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

Does anybody still use `starship'?
by Igor Raits 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Hello, I saw some recent discussions (yet another time) how packaging Rust / Go / Node.js is horrible, we should simply bundle everything and such. Let's not discuss this here, though. I'm interested to hear if there are any users of the `starship' application here in Fedora that consume it from the repositories. Please speak up if you do! As pointed out in the other places, I don't think we are able to update things like that as fast as releases popping out with just as few people working on the packaging Rust stack these days (I'm pretty much not contributing for last couple years due to the other work). And the question, if we want to keep packaging it (with some slower update cycle, as the time permits) or we want to retire it completely. Personally, I'd love to have more people working on packaging (and most importantly keeping up-to-date) Rust crates / apps but I think this is not so realistic :) -- — Igor Raits.

LibreOffice Calc chart printout missing axes and gridlines.
by home user 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

Good morning, I'm not sure if the problem is in LibreOffice or something else. Also, I did try to post this in LibreOffice support, but my login does not work, and trying to create a new account does not work. (Fedora-34, Gnome, LibreOffice 7.1.8.1, HP LaserJet Pro MFP M180nw) I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet. It has a chart. On my workstation monitor, the chart looks as I desire: border, x and y axes, legend, axis labels, data curves, tick marks along the axes, and a grid in the plot area. When I print the chart to a PDF file and then display the PDF file, it look the same as in LibreOffice Calc. But, when in LibreOffice Calc, I print to the printer, there are no axes and no grid lines. How do I get the axes and grid lines to show? Thank-you in advance. Bill.
