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

fully updated F36 Dell XPS 13 no longer comes back from hibernate (post Thursday updates)
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Dear friends, I have a fully updated F36 Dell XPS 13 that has been updated nightly (and upgraded when appropriate) using dnf on a cron job for the past few years. Sadly, after last Thursday's updates, the machine goes down fine (with the usual systemctl hibernate), but does not come back up. I am a little confused what changed last Thursday, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how I may diagnose and fix this problem. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Wifi not Started at Boot and Networkmanager Wifi Last Used Stats Wrong
by Stephen Morris 24 Jul '22

24 Jul '22

Hi, I booted into Fedora this morning and had no network available because wifi had not been started. Dmesg showed the following message: iwlwifi: probe of 0000:05:00.0 failed with error -110 There is not an issue with the wifi router as my wife was using the internet on her laptop at the time. Also, when I looked at the wifi definition it said the wifi was last used 3 hours ago, but it has been over 9 hours since I shutdown my pc and that was from Windows, so where is networkmanager (assuming Fedora is still using networkmanager) getting its information from? I am using KDE for my desktop. regards, Steve

F36: removing systemd-resolved breaks chrony
by Sam Varshavchik 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

It seems that uninstalling systemd-resolved and repointing /etc/resolv.conf ends up breaking chrony: type=AVC msg=audit(1653741361.179:318): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=856 comm="chronyd" path="/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf" dev="tmpfs" ino=1525 scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 This is spamming me every minute, now.

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

System is locking up a lot
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Since updates Saturday night I have been having hard lock ups. It looks like Firefox is the trigger. Lenovo X140e notebook F35 current with all updates as of Saturday night. Xfce desktop It was really bad at first. I finally managed to kill Firefox auto load pages by in a non-graphics session, watching what top was reporting going on in the graphics session and killing Firefox. Then starting Firefox and closing all my windows as they open. Finally got it to start up with nothing to open. That was this morning. Things seemed to be working OK until now when I got to my Hilton hotel for the night and going through their miserable portal that FIrefox would not accept their cert, and then it locked again. Just booted. Updated again and only got added: Upgraded: alsa-sof-firmware-2.1.1-1.fc35.noarch mariadb-connector-c-3.2.7-1.fc35.x86_64 mariadb-connector-c-config-3.2.7-1.fc35.noarch pipewire-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-alsa-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-libs-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 pipewire-utils-0.3.52-4.fc35.x86_64 Skipped: python3-reportlab-3.6.10-1.fc35.x86_64 I can't tell where, in /var/log/messages the system locked and then I rebooted. I did not note the times closely. Anyone hear anything like this? So far can't find anything in bugs.

[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

Fedora 36 XFCE
by c. marlow 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hi, Fresh install of Fedora 36 XFCE SPIN. I can walk away from my computer and come back after the screen blanks off and move my mouse and the lock screen will say: "YOUR CAPSLOCK IS ON" on the screen locker..... But I never use the CL ( Caps Lock) What could be randomly activating the caps lock when I move the mouse? Is it Fedora doing it? The computer does not power down and go into standby. The tower is always running. Dell Optiplex980. Logitech wireless keyboard K520 Thanks, Chris

Dual booting
by Michael Hennebry 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

I recently acquired a Refurbished: Grade A Dell OptiPlex GX980 Tower PC, Intel Core I3-550 3.2Ghz, 8G DDR3, 1T HDD, DVD, VGA, WiFi, Bluetooth ... I can boot it from a live Centos 7 disk. According to W10, the HDD is partitioned as follows: System: 350 MB C: 930.44 GB recovery: 750 MB I think that I would want to dual-boot it (Windows/Fedora) in case I ever need Windows for something. I have set up dual booting before, but it has been a long time. Ideally it would be a triple boot: one for Windows, one that I just installed and one that I've been using lately. Mostly what I remember about the process is that getting the information from various distant places in the galaxy was a bit of a chore. Can someone point me in the right direction? -- 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

hardware RAID1 NVMe card?
by ToddAndMargo 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Hi All, Any of you guys know of a PCIe card that will do hardware RAID 1 with two NVMe drives? I have found some, but they are way to elaborate, and as such, way too expensive. Many thanks, -T
