Add default quirk to pm-utils (CentOS 5.4)
by Martin Jungowski 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

I've installed CentOS 5.4 on my new Lenovo Ideapad S12 (Atom-based 12" notebook) and need to add a quirk to pm-suspend in order for the laptop to actually go to sleep. There's a couple of quirks that work just fine so I really don't have a preference. I found several instructions but most of them have failed me because CentOS's pm-utils is too ancient. Newer versions come with a parameter that adds the quirk to hald automatically, the CentOS version of pm-utils does not have this function yet. I've tried adding a /etc/pm/ config.d/99local config file with DISPLAY_QUIRK_VBE_POST="true" and a /etc/ hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi manually to no avail: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>   <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_on" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_suspend" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore" type="bool">false</ merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">false</ merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vga_mode_3" type="bool">false</merge> </device> </deviceinfo> But nothing seems to work. Running pm-suspend does not do anything, running pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post puts the Laptop to sleep. Any ideas?

[OT] Small touch screens that works with CentOS
by Pascal Robert 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi, We want to display on a small LCD screen next to our meeting rooms and optionally let people book the room from the panel. We looked at different providers and those solutions either works with Exchange or Lotus Notes... Since I already have code to fetch events from any CalDAV/WebDSV servers, I'm looking at building the system myself. So I'm wondering if any of you can recommend small LCD screen that works well with Linux (the app would be a full screen Web app, browser have to be Gecko or WebKit based), and even better if the screen can have « touch buttons » (so that people don't have to use a physical keyboard to book the room), that's even better. I guess my other option would be a iPad. -- Pascal Robert probert(a)macti.ca AIM/iChat : MacTICanada LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/macti Twitter : MacTICanada

How to disable selinux protection interfering with pppd? I tried audit2allow, but policy does not load. Is there an seboolean?
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

CentOS release 5.4 (Final) I run pppd on this system, it accepts dial-in connections, logs people in over ssh/sftp. I had selinux disabled on this system originally, but I recently enabled it, and selinux is blocking this pppd service. "audit2allow -M" has generated the following policy based on AVC denial messages: module fixdialinserver 1.0; require { type pppd_t; type shadow_t; type chkpwd_exec_t; class file { read execute }; class netlink_audit_socket create; } #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t chkpwd_exec_t:file execute; allow pppd_t self:netlink_audit_socket create; allow pppd_t shadow_t:file read; However, I am unable to load this module due to conflict with another policy: # semodule -i fixdialinserver.pp libsepol.check_assertion_helper: assertion on line 0 violated by allow pppd_t shadow_t:file { read }; libsepol.check_assertions: 1 assertion violations occured libsemanage.semanage_expand_sandbox: Expand module failed semodule: Failed! # Is there an seboolean I can tweak to allow me to load this policy? Thanks, Aleksey
