Can an vsFTP server get swamped?
by ToddAndMargo 14 May '24

14 May '24

Hi All, I have a customer with four Windows workstations that backup with Cobian Reflector to a local Fedora vsFTP server vsftpd-3.0.5-6.fc40.x86_64 Every so often, Cobian errors out with: ERR 2024-05-12 21:38:58 An error occurred while uploading the file "C:\Users\accounting\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\boteqaxu.default-1441211636453\storage\default\https+++shop.nordstrom.com\cache\morgue\44\{a7c30849-26e1-400f-9127-3cc779dc912c}.final" to "/MyDocsBackup/backup1/Mozilla 2024-05-12 21;31;27 (Full)/Firefox/Profiles/boteqaxu.default-1441211636453/storage/default/https…": Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted 192.168.202.10:10098 But if I re-run the task, it goes through without issue. By chance if several of the workstations start backing up at the same time, can the vsFTP server get swamped? Is there a way to increase vsFTP's sockets? P Many thanks, -T

Hi Michael, I am providing remote support for many of my customers. They are mostly Windows users. I wish I had more Linux customers, but it is what it is. I would not have a job if not for Windows poor quality. I first used Go To Assist, but dropped them for their lack of Linux support and ignoring bug and enhancement reports. I also did not care for having to run it out of a Windows virtual machine. I looked at Team Viewer, but they are very, very expensive and "Woke" as well, which means they are no longer hiring based on merit and their product(s) will/are deteriorating because of it. The reason for AnyDesk and such is that it get around firewalls/routers. If a customer calls, there is no way I would be able to coach then through installing a port forward on their firewall/router which are required for the various VNC's. I am lucky if most of my customers know how to use their keyboards. (I still have to assist them with finding the "Win" and "Esc" keys. Sometimes even the "Enter" key.) I landed on Any desk because it is reasonably priced, supports Linux, is quite snappy (fast), is able to get around several technical problems with Go To Assist, their tech support is responsive, they take bug reports. Although, if the report is specifically Fedora, the second tier sends you back their supported linux spins. They support CentOS and RHEL. So I am currently installing a Virtual Machine of CentOS to reproduce any issues, so second tier can not weasel out of it. Any Desk's RHEL rpm works rather well (except for the lightdm issue) in Fedora and certainly gets around a ton of issues that Go To Assist plagued me with. AnyDesk's Multi Factor Authentication is rather easy to set up too. I prefer Red Hat's FreeOTP (Cell phones) and Fedora's Keysmith for such. -T

[Testdays] Call for Fedora Linux 41 testing events
by Sumantro Mukherjee 13 May '24

13 May '24

Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends! It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 41. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance, we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in fedora-qa pagure - here's an example https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issue/624 . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issues?tags=test+days . There are many slots open right now. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Beta release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final Freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific time frame due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or time frame you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted Test Days: GNOME Test Day* i18n Test Day* Kernel Test Week(s)* Upgrade Test Day* IoT Test Week* Cloud Test Day* Fedora CoreOS Test Week* And don't be afraid, there are a lot of more slots available for your own Test Day! [*] These are the test days we run generally to make sure everything is working fine, the dates get announced as we move into the release cycle. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test at lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED

Question on $FileCreateMode for imjournal
by Mark C. Allman 13 May '24

13 May '24

I'm seeing this line in /var/log/messages: imjournal: filecreatemode is not set, using default 0644 [v8.2312.0-1.fc40 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2186 ] From the page https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/configuration/action/rsconf1_filecreatemode.html, I see that I need to set $FileCreateMode. OK. Where? * I created a conf file in /etc/rsyslog.d/ with "$FileCreateMode 0600." No impact. * I edited (temporarily) /etc/rsyslog.conf and inserted the above line both before, after and (as a last resort) both before and after the imjournal module load. No impact. Where should this variable be set and what's the correct syntax? I also sent this to the rsyslog list but I thought I'd throw it out here as well. Thanks, -- *Mark C. Allman, PMP, CSM, SSM*

How to list Apache (httpd) virtual servers
by Ian Pilcher 12 May '24

12 May '24

I am trying to list the virtual servers in my Apache httpd configuration on Fedora 38. My internet searches keep turning up references to using either apachectl or apache2ctl with the -S option, but neither one seems to work on Fedora. # apachectl -S apachectl: The "-S" option is not supported. # dnf provides '*/apache2ctl' Last metadata expiration check: 3:35:44 ago on Sun 12 May 2024 01:13:05 PM CDT. bash-completion-1:2.11-9.fc38.noarch : Programmable completion for Bash Repo : fedora Matched from: Filename : /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apache2ctl So how is one supposed to do this on Fedora? -- ======================================================================== If your user interface is intuitive in retrospect ... it isn't intuitive ========================================================================

How to change fail2ban timeout during reboot in F40?
by Frank Bures 12 May '24

12 May '24

Hi, I was a target of an attack resulting in 1600 banned IP address by fail2ban. When I reboot, f2b tries to unban those IPs but it ultimately times out and a large number of IPs becomes orphaned. They stay in firewalld, but f2b does not know about them anymore. And indeed root@ryzen:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl show fail2ban.service -p TimeoutStopUSec TimeoutStopUSec=45s How do I increase the 45s timeout to something more suitable? I was not able to find where in the system is that value set. Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>

My fedora 40 experiences
by Tom Horsley 12 May '24

12 May '24

Things I noticed after installing fedora 40. Nothing too bad, got everything working OK after a few fixes. No sound at all, not even any sound devices listed. Poking around in google I eventually found the advice to do this: rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber reboot That worked. I can watch videos now and hear the soundtrack. No working printer. Apparently the stuff I've been copying from release to release no longer works. Had to remove the printer definition completely and let it notice it and reinstall from scratch. It now works but the annoying new ipp-usb stuff causes a delay of about 10 seconds between clicking "print" and hearing the printer power up (it was previously instantaneous before this "improvement"). Various systemd config files I used to edit to change settings are now apparently installed as %ghost files, so they don't actually exist. Eventually created directories /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/ /etc/systemd/system.conf.d and /etc/systemd/user.conf.d and created some local .conf files in those directories to just override the handful of settings I normally changed. The gcc compiler now defaults to the same fanatical insistence on proper forward references and such that used to be so sloppy in old C code, so various C programs I always rebuild didn't compile till I fixed the source ( I figure there is probably an option to make gcc as dumb as it used to be, but I might as well fix the code). My custom sddm theme didn't work. Had to copy new format theme directory and make similar customizations. The bogofilter tool changed format databases. Had to discover the bogomigrate-berkeley tool in the list of files in the bogofilter rpm to fix that and salvage years worth of spam filter training. Haven't noticed any other problems yet, I seem to be able to use fedora 40 now just like I used fedora 39.

Fedore CoreOS and secondary disk
by Earl Ramirez 12 May '24

12 May '24

Good day, all, I have been trying to add a second disk to CoreOS and can't seem to figure this out. The secondary disk is specified in the butane config but the part that I need guidance with is how do I bring up the server with two disks. #### Sample disk config from butane #### disks: - device: /dev/disk/by-id/coreos-boot-disk wipe_table: false partitions: - number: 4 label: root size_mib: 8192 resize: true - device: /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50014e2eb507fcdf wipe_table: true partitions: - number: 1 label: var size_mib: 0 start_mib: 0 type_guid: 0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e5-0933c84b4f4f filesystems: - path: /var device: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/var format: xfs wipe_filesystem: false with_mount_unit: true ## ## Any suggestions or directions you can point me to be able to get the secondary disk going for Fedora CoreOS? Thanks in advance -- Kind Regards, Earl A. Ramirez 2024-05-12T10:02:02 (CEST +0200)
