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.

systemd timers and amavis quarantine
by Alex 16 Apr '22

16 Apr '22

Hi, There used to be a timer similar to something like amavis-quarantine-clean.timer that periodically would remove old files from /var/spool/amavisd/quarantine, but it's nowhere on the system on fedora35, yet the system is somehow deleting files older than 30 days from the quarantine still. Where do I look? It's also not an obvious other timer $ systemctl list-timers --all NEXT LEFT LAST PASSED UNIT ACTIVATES Thu 2022-02-10 18:55:00 EST 3min 20s left Thu 2022-02-10 18:50:44 EST 55s ago pmie_farm_check.timer pmie_farm_check.service Thu 2022-02-10 18:55:00 EST 3min 20s left Thu 2022-02-10 18:25:44 EST 25min ago pmlogger_check.timer pmlogger_check.service Thu 2022-02-10 18:55:00 EST 3min 20s left Thu 2022-02-10 18:50:44 EST 55s ago pmlogger_farm_check.timer pmlogger_farm_check.service Thu 2022-02-10 18:58:00 EST 6min left Thu 2022-02-10 18:28:44 EST 22min ago pmie_check.timer pmie_check.service Thu 2022-02-10 20:18:13 EST 1h 26min left Thu 2022-02-10 18:46:44 EST 4min 55s ago dnf-makecache.timer dnf-makecache.service Thu 2022-02-10 23:26:44 EST 4h 35min left Wed 2022-02-09 10:01:34 EST 1 day 8h ago systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service Fri 2022-02-11 00:00:00 EST 5h 8min left Thu 2022-02-10 07:08:02 EST 11h ago mlocate-updatedb.timer mlocate-updatedb.service Fri 2022-02-11 00:00:00 EST 5h 8min left Thu 2022-02-10 07:08:02 EST 11h ago unbound-anchor.timer unbound-anchor.service Fri 2022-02-11 00:08:00 EST 5h 16min left Thu 2022-02-10 07:08:02 EST 11h ago pmie_daily.timer pmie_daily.service Fri 2022-02-11 00:10:00 EST 5h 18min left Thu 2022-02-10 07:08:02 EST 11h ago pmlogger_daily.timer pmlogger_daily.service Mon 2022-02-14 01:30:04 EST 3 days left Mon 2022-02-07 01:38:41 EST 3 days ago fstrim.timer fstrim.service And there's nothing related to a timer service in the package itself. Other ideas greatly appreciated. Maybe it's not even a timer? I also don't see any cron entries that are related.

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.

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

DRPM performance ?
by jim.cromie＠gmail.com 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

so a couple of weeks ago, I did a dnf update, and got ~ 19% reduction due to DRPM that was by far the highest return on the effort Id seen. previous experience for me was 1-4%. I should have grabbed a "screenshot" and sent it here. Whats the "average" experience here ? are there statistics ? do *noarch 's do better ? how often do you see some version of "find/download failed" ? (it sometimes appears to be a cached-version problem, particularly if the update is older than a few days)

audio problem
by Eyal Lebedinsky 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

I am on f34 5.15.16-100.fc34.x86_64 This problem started recently (a few weeks, maybe a little longer?). Initially I noticed audio hiccups when playing mythtv recordings. At times there was also video noise but not always. I then found that playing audio from a network stream (with vlc) also had hiccups. The sound would stop and start, sometime even repeat a fraction of a second. I now played a track from a local disk and the same issues were heard. There are no messages to indicate a problem. I then used 'mplayer' which has more console messages and I now can see an issue: ========================================================================== Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders libavcodec version 58.134.100 (external) Mismatching header version 58.130.100 AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 0.0 kbit/0.00% (ratio: 0->176400) Selected audio codec: [ffflac] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg FLAC audio) ========================================================================== [AO SDL] Samplerate: 44100Hz Channels: Stereo Format s16le AO: [sdl] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Video: no video Starting playback...

One more data point: for a long time (many months) I had a problem where the system locks up hard needing a cold restart. There were no hiccups otherwise. It always had mythtv playing or YouTube. When locked the sound of the last second would loop continuously until the reset. The video is frozen then. Maybe related? This is a long running problem (happens once every few months) but the audio stutter is a recent, new issue. TIA -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

LibreOffice7.3 crashing?
by Michael D. Setzer II 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

Have the Fedora version of LibreOffice working just fine. Also, have the LibreOffice 7.2.5 working just fine. Downloaded the 7.3 and and it seemed to install fine, but attempts to use it result in crash?? Restart has it upload, and it successfully submits the crash report, but goes in safe mode, but still crashes? Doesn't seem to show me any info on what the crash is? I've been trying to bring up calc, so perhaps other parts work? This is on fully updated Fedora 34. Uninstalled the 7.3, and have Fedora version and 7.2.5 working again. Did try uninstalling 7.2.5 and installing 7.3, but it did same thing. Perhaps the report will tell them something. Just wondering if others might either have same issue, or others have it work? Thanks.
