Attach Screenshot

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2012-09-28 12:43:04 UTC
Please attach the full dmesg from the boot of this machine.

-127 is "Key has expired", which seems fairly unlikely unless the time on your machine is rather incorrect or there is some other bug.

Comment 2 David Howells 2012-09-28 13:56:46 UTC
Do you see somethiung like:

Loading module verification certificates
X.509: Cert 7b70b69b28836d8c4f2fca541559375499b37037 has expired
MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-127)

Comment 3 David Howells 2012-09-29 07:23:10 UTC
Is your machine 32-bit or 64-bit?

Comment 4 xset1980 2012-09-29 09:06:29 UTC
@Josh Boyer

Attach full dmesg after boot of the machine.
Is a virtualbox machine, the time is 3 hours more than the real time in my country (America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires, but if i want change it, KDE no allow using root password or user password and show an AVC alert:

El proceso fuente: kcmdatetimehelper
ha intentado este acceso: write
En esta directory: /.kde/share/config (bad traduction... no related with the bug)

And other more:

El proceso fuente: kcmdatetimehelper
ha intentado acceso: unlink
En esta lnk_file: /etc/localtime

After reconfigure the time using system-config-date (that yes work), the -127 is persistent, really, the message error is the same, identically of the screenshot attached.

Attach full dmesg called dmesg_MODSIGN_i686.txt

@David Howells

The installation is a Fedora 18 Alpha KDE spin, from LiveCD, on a virtualbox, using i686 (32 bit) ISO, and up to date.
At time of this feedback, up to date fully.

The same problem with kernel 3.6.0 installed in 32-bit F18 system

Comment 7 Josh Boyer 2012-10-02 11:59:47 UTC
32-bit machines are likely getting an overflow condition due to the 100yr cert expiration time.  I'm testing a fix.

Comment 8 Josh Boyer 2012-10-02 14:00:53 UTC
I've added a patch from David to the F18 and rawhide Fedora git repo.  This should be fixed with the next build.

Comment 9 nucleo 2012-10-03 01:35:17 UTC

Comment 12 John Florian 2012-10-11 19:31:54 UTC
I have kernel-3.6.1-1.fc18.i686 and am getting in the system log a bunch of:

kernel: Request for unknown module key 'Fedora kernel signing key: c6fb6e1f2b79b50ab078f4d6b9fc9b2204a692a7' err -11


Am I hitting the same bug from a different angle or do I have some completely different issue?

Comment 13 Josh Boyer 2012-11-12 21:09:39 UTC
This should have long been fixed.

Can I suggest displaying error strings over error codes? This is not the '70's anymore - we have space for a string.
