Just installed Fedora 13. How do I tell the new "PolicyKitOne" that I should be able to scale my CPU frequency without admin auth? In F12, there was a tool called polkit-auth, but it no longer exists. In fact, when I type in "polkit" and hit tab, nothing shows in the completion menu. Where's this thing hiding?

how to fix the CPU Frequency Monitor 0.4.0~rc2 for AWN 0.4.0~rc2-rewrite-bzr674-karmic1-1 so that you can actually scale CPU frequencies?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI login as normal user. I can 'su root' fine - password authenticates. However, If I try to run System->Administration->Users/Groups, when it asks for root password, it is rejected. When I run updater, it reports failure to authenticate, but doesn't even ask for root password beforehand. Is there a cached password someplace?

To try and prevent auth.log rotating daily and change it to monthly but it doesnt seem to work.
Either im doing it wrong or i need to restart some service?
Lately I have been receiving this in my auth.log file. It seems to be repeating over and over, and I didn't know if was anything normal or something I should be worried about...
Code:
When moving the mouse to the right side of the screen quickly, all the windows are small.Previously I was the first thing I was stopped by removing the mark from the Scale, but now stopped while still influence the rest.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using VirtualBox with Win-XP installed which works perfectly But after doing updates in my F13 today the scale wont work in the VirtualBox in full-screen mode Initially scale works when I place the mouse in the top-left corner but it's not working now and nothing happens Ive googled and tried settings in CCSM but I really have no idea why scale doest work in VirtualBox full-screen now this is really extremely inconvenient as i cant switch back to my F13 unless I switch to windows mode in my VirtualBox.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Fedora 13, Xfce, on my HP netbook. It's using AR9285. When i try to connect to my network with WPA enabled it will not work despite the password info being correct. I'm using a DI-514 router, with no updates to firmware. It only works, if I change the password, then use said password, then, when I disconnect, said password no longer works. WEP works just fine, open network works fine, why wont WPA-PSK work?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using Fedora 13 x64 and have noticed a strange problem with my wireless.
At random intervals it will disconnect, be it 5 minutes or 3 hours and then it will not re-auth no matter how long I leave it. The wireless is running WPA/WPA2, With TKIP/AES encryption. The router only supports b/g and the Wireless NIC is only b/g.
Not sure what driver/software it is using. I noticed I do have wpa_supplicant installed but there doesnt seems to be much happening in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf apart from the below.

I'm a bit lost with the PHP/Sendmail configuration, maybe somebody could help me getting back on the right track. Following situation:
Postfix:
* accepts smtp on port 25 but from his own domains. Some policy and spamchecks through amavisd are made.
* accepts submission on port 587 and 465 from authenticated users only. Quota and spamchecks prevent outgoing spam.
So I'm enforcing a very strong outgoing spam-policy but the users are still able to use the php mail() function to send spam through the /usr/sbin/sendmail command.
My users have access to their own php.ini so my idea was to somehow enforce the delivery through the local postfix on port 587 or 465 and just let them enter their user/pass in their php.ini. (I suppose, their might be a cleaner-solution ).
Unfortunately, my configurations like smtp_host, port, user etc. are getting ignored if the sendmail_path line is active. But if I comment this line out, php just uses the default, which is the same as configured in the sendmail_path line - so it's active whether i use the line or not (setting it to an invalid command breaks the mail() function completely).
how can I enforce my anti-spam policy on the php mail() command?For my ssh users I just blocked the outgoing connection to localhost on port 25 which seems to work so far, but somehow the postfix-sendmail-wrapper just ignores this.
I'm trying to config a customer's samba server to use a MS 2003 SBS for auth. The samba is for file sharing only config'ed with disk quota's. Currently the samba is config'ed for auth = Users. But I want a central point for user auth, and since they already have the sbs in place, I'd like to use that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just update the system, and the cpu frequency applet stop working. I can no longer lock the cpu frequency. Once I click the cpu applet icon, The whole applet just freeze right there. Does not matter if what I do with it. Well, at least I hope some one just offer me a bit help on how to lock the cpu frequency in terminal. Other wise I can not run Folding@home due to cooling issue.
Post added at 05:08 AM CST Previous post was Yesterday at 11:58 PM CST Well, it seems like the program take of authentication is mess up. I have the same problem when I tried to config my firewall. In the Firewall case, once I type in my password, the whole window just went blank. For the cpu applet case, nothing happen, the window ask for password does not show up. nothing. The system log did not have any entry...neither does the crash log. Which there are lot of entry there since I install F12
I am not entirely convinced that my CPU is actually changing frequency as it is meant to. It sometimes changes frequency, but most of the time it is stuck on 800MHz even when doing cpu intensive tasks. Here is information that may or may not be of help:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor: 0
vendor_id: GenuineIntel
[code]....
I notice here that it says between 800 and 800, but does that mean it is currently at 800, or can only be 800.
how to lock the CPU frequency under Fedora 15. I try to run cpufreq comand but the terminal tells me the comand is bad and ask me if I want to install the program. When I click yes. It says the program has already been installed. While I try to use software manager under GUI, same thing happend. Software manager clearly tells me I have not install that program. But once I choose to install, the system tells me all package has been install?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Notebook CPU has variable speeds from 600MHz to 1.6GHz but since I upgraded to F13 it has not budged from 600MHz.I have already installed the gnome CPU speed widget and even if I set it to "performance" or "1.6GHz" it stays resolutely on 600MHz
The only indication that I can see that there is something odd is the output of acpitool tells me the min/max cpu speeds are 600MHz/600MHz. I don't know enough about the guts of Linux to know if acpitool is defective or if it's just repeating what it was told by something lower down.I will post some hopefully useful listings of some commands run under Fedora 13 and then the same commands on the same box with an F12 live USB.
Code:
Fedora 13
$ acpitool -c
CPU type : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz

If I boot my system with default BIOS settings (no overclocking), the CPU runs at 3.3GHz and powernow-k8 enables a maximum speed of 3.3GHz, as can be seen from the following:
[Code]....
Clearly, for some reason, powernow-k8 is mis-calculating the pstate 0 or maximum speed and this is reflected in the files within /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/ I have tried to update /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq, however despite the file being writeable by root, the change is not maintained. Other than setting the CPU policy to "Performance" rather than "On Demand", is there any way I can force the correct pstate 0 (maximum) CPU speed?
My desk-pc has an acer AL17AL17. I've tried to install fedora 12 (windows XP works perfectly) and -just starting- it gave me the message: "frequency not supported". I suppose I have to change it, but I don't know what I should do. The installation began, I selected to do a new installation and then, suddenly, the message.
Should I change it in windows? Which frequency do I have to use?
--> On fedora 12: I'm going to install the "Long Term Supported" 6.0 version, as knudfl told me. Anyway, now it doesn't give me that error.
The Wikipedia says that the frequency of the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ is 2000 MHz.
For that processor, on FC 12 64 bit
cat /proc/cpuinfo
shows:
cpu MHz : 1000.000
for each processor.
Is that supposed to "add up" to 2000 MHz for both? My old GA-K8N-Ultra SLI motherboard has its BIOS set for "top performance", so I hesitate increase any clock speed or multiplier.
I have just upgraded my system to Fedora 14. One thing I noticed after running some applications on it is that it is not possible anymore to figure out on what frequency a wireless interface is using. If I set a wireless interface to monitor mode and perform the iwconfig or iwlist command, in the past, I could see the frequency used on the interface, but now, this information is not present anymore. My wireless interfaces are in monitor mode.
Has the frequency information been removed from iwconfig or iwlist commands? If it has, is there another way to report this information?
Here is an output from iwconfig on my system:
I had set a password for root/administrator mode. But when again it asked to register a user, I didn't registered any user (left all fields blank) and pressed on "next".After a reboot, now its asking to log in but there is no username except the "other" option. When I'm clicking on other option its showing a field to put a Username (I tried to leave it blank, used root,admin,etc etc etc but no luck) then another box is coming and asking for password, its not taking that password which I set as root password.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat is the easiest way to make it so that these transferred files will not be completely locked out and require me to go and change them one by one sohat i can access them without having to go root. Also the "apply to all subfolders and files" doesn't work. Also trying to set the SELinux rule to "userspace" doesn't do anything else. Basically i was trying to do just that transfer my $home folder over to fedora but now it's being a bit odd towards me with making everything require root access and not letting me read/write all files and folders within them.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get DokuWiki running on Fedora 14 and Apache 2, but I run into some problem which was appearently described earlier [URL]
and seems to have gone unsolved in those threads.
I have Apache 2 running (which I can see by surfing to "localhost") and I have DokuWiki callable (which I can see by surfing to "localhost/dokuwiki").
Also, I adjusted the SELINUX context as described by [URL]
Since the DokuWiki installation is totally fresh, I should now either be able to call "localhost/dokuwiki/install.php" to do further adjustments or to call some admin.php by URL or using some button on the local DokuWiki start page.
However, none of the admin scripts is callable by URL, and there's no admin button shown on the DokuWiki start page.
If I ssh from my laptop (running F10) to the server (centos 5.2) it asks for the password, but everytime I enter the correct password it says incorrect password. when I do the same from the server to my laptop I can get in just fine. I think my passwords are stored as ssha in the LDAP (I tried clear passwords and that dosen't work either).

In F11 the administration menu had more things in it IIRC. Seems that in F12 a lot of tools are missing.Specifically the SELinux config tool is missing, but getting the rest of the menu back would be nice. I can't remember what it had but I'm sure I'll need them at some point.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just tried to change a user account by changing its name, password, and home directory. But first I had created a new account with the new name, pass, home directory. I tried to log into the new account but got a dead account. Nothing came up, and it didn't allow anything, complaining about "can't create Nautilus," and other such error messages.
Tried to go into the Constantine login screen and put in "root" and the original password. "Invalid Use..." Tried "root" with the new pass. "Invalid..." So what can I do at this point to get in and create a nice, clean, new account (with admin privs) for the new user?!
