Fwd: [Wlug] problems with smb export on external usb drive

by Jim Dibb

Sorry to followup to my own email but I eventually solved my problem by reformatting the filesystem and copying all the data back to it. I just couldn't get the security set right. I could mount the share, but not see any files on it. From that point I reformatted, without doing anything else, and everything worked fine from then on.

Core, Extras, and Livna are designed to cooperate and not upgrade each other's packages. Anything else depends on the repository maintainer. If a repo replaces Core packages, it may or may not interfere with Core updates, Extras, Livna, etc., depending on the extent of those replacements. Some would argue that if you are replacing Core components, it isn't really Fedora anymore, and you shouldn't report bugs to Fedora about your system in that case. You could try picking and choosing just the packages you want from the 3rd party repos and install those manually. However, in many cases, Core libraries are being replaced to add functionality that was missing from the Core version, or programs are recompiled with different options to enable support for additional features, e.g. MP3 support, which the program you want might need. Therefore, it isn't always an option to use a 3rd party repo in a piecemeal manner. In fact, the maintainers of those repos may frown upon that, since it causes them more of a support headache when users report bugs which are really only due to them not using all the packages from said 3rd party repo. You could go the other way and completely switch to some of the larger repos which have "everything" including updates, etc., but then you are diverging from Fedora even more. The proper solution to these problems of course is to fix or enhance the Core, Extras, and Livna packages so the 3rd party repos don't need to replace them, or for the 3rd party repo maintainers to cooperate with Fedora by contributing directly to Core, Extras, and Livna. Some of the issues are technical problems with the design of the software, such as the aforementioned MP3 support--those kinds of features should be modular so that they can be loaded at runtime from a separate package which provides the legally questionable components. Then that package could go into e.g. Livna.

Adding repositories?

by Bill Mills-Curran

I've added a new repository (or two) to my yum config, and I'm feeling a bit exposed. I wonder what other WLUG members do about additional repositories. In an effort to support vlc, I had added the livna repository, and when that stopped working (after recent fedora updates), I found that switching from livna to dries helped. Now I notice that there are quite a few packages from dries that will update fedora packages. So, I'm feeling a bit worried. Does anyone have a sense of how much these repositories should be trusted? TIA, Bill

I thought I could do it by using the 'reset' and/or fixfiles functionality.

Re: [Wlug] Bluetooth hardware recomendations

by John Stoffel

Ok, so I've finally gotten around to looking at my USB dongle. It's a Kensington Bluetooth USB Adapter. Model #33085, and it's worked well in my limited testing on a heavily updated Debian box, running fairly recent 2.6 kernels. It's about an inch and a quarter long, not including the USB plug part. Has a little light that goes on as well. Not a bad buy, just wish I had more use for it. John

The correct solution is to label the filesystem for smbd access, or add the desired filesystem label to the policy. But I suppose your solution is ok, akin to disabling a firewall instead of unblocking the one port you need.

I got one for my Linux box and while it works, the access to my Motorola v505 sucks, at least it used to, I haven't tried it recently. But the bluetooth stack stuff is a pain to work with at times. Also, you either want to plug the USB bluetooth dongle directly into a powered USB port, or into a hub with power. I'd tell you which one I got, but it's plugged into a non-powered hub and not showing up with lsusb right now. Karl> I will probably buy a USB or PCMCIA interface.

problems with smb export on external usb drive

by Jim Dibb

I had a drive with an ext3 filesystem in an old p2 running RH8 storing my mp3 files. I moved the drive into a USB enclosure attached to a laptop running FC4. The laptop mounted the fs on /media/media pretty much automatically. The problem is I can't export the /media/media FS with samba to mount on a windows host. I can export /media, and the xp box can see /media/cdrecorder, but /media/media is invisible. I have the following in various config files: from mount: automount(pid2427) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2427,minproto=2,maxproto=4) /dev/sda1 on /media/media type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,_netdev,user=jim) in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /media/media ext3 pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 ls: [root@linuxlaptop /]# ls -al /media total 32 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 5 21:32 . drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Mar 5 11:13 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 5 11:14 cdrecorder drwxrwxrwx 247 root root 8192 Mar 1 09:29 media in smb.conf: ( I did have /media/media) [media] path = /media writeable = yes browseable = yes valid users = jim in /var/logs/samba/ (when path above was /media/media) [2006/02/28 21:03:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(615) '/media/media' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [media] Since I have a copy of the files on my xp box now, I was thinking of destroying the fs and recreating it, then putting all the data back. I just find it very strange that with the above smb.conf, I can mount /media as media on my xp box and I can see the cdrecorder directory but I can't see the media directory. Any advice on what might be wrong? Thanks.

Got it! Remember Open Sound System stopped working when I went from Core3 to Core4? Now it works. I had also upgraded the kernel. This was a problem because OSS needs to compile with the kernel. I missed some of the modules needed for a successful compilation. The system would not work with ALSA. I think my sound card is unique for some reason. ALSA needed to be disabled before OSS would work. OSS help desk Dev Mazumdar was very helpful. Thanks, you all, for being there. Ken Jones
