assigning a usbdevice to a gnome-boxes guest/domain
by Stefan Huchler 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

I want to assign to a guest/domain in gnome-boxes a usb-device a chipcardreader. In general if I use the gui method it works like expected. The problem is that you have to activate the usbdevice after each suspention of the guest again and again. So after searching for a solution Ive seen some suggestion like that: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x0763'/> <product id='0x202a'/> </source> </hostdev> I start virsh and edit form there the host add this under devices and restart the guest. When I try to resume the domain from gnome-boxes I get an error like "cant resume" no specifics why. When I then restart the gnome-boxes programm and try resuming again it works. But the usb device is not forwarded so I have to forward it manual again. In the xml file with edit command I dont find this part I added. So Gnome-boxes seems to overwrite it on start with something or virsh does not save it. I think it has something to do with this spicevmc devices I think they fight over the same usb-devices.

tmpfs
by Geoffrey Leach 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

I thought I would try having /tmp as a tmpfs. It's not mentioned in the Fedora 21 docs. Is this because: o It worked so well (beginning in Fedora 18) that it's standard practice? o It was a bad idea, and is no longer used?

Below (near the bottom) is the list server's response to my post. My post was: Many websites are pushing javascripts into our machines via the browsers we use, and our browsers blithely execute these scripts and some of these scripts install malware without our being aware of it, let alone with our permission. To wit, I gleaned the following from http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=googleusercontent.com *Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?* Over the past 90 days, googleusercontent.com appeared to function as an intermediary for the infection of 16 site(s) including webinitiatesystems.com/ beerilove.com/ ocadesburkina.org/ *Has this site hosted malware?* Yes, this site has hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. It infected 290 domain(s), including natv.ig.com.br/ , adcod.in/ , bit.ly/ ----------------------------------------------------- Not allowing some of such javascripts will make the web site visited somewhat or totally non functional (such as searching the web site for something). How come the authorities are not prosecuting the owners of websites that push such javascripts? -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Your message to users awaits moderator approval Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2014 18:18:57 +0000 From: users-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To: jd1008(a)gmail.com Your mail to 'users' with the subject OT - Browsing Security Question Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

firewalld masquerade rich rule is not working
by Sam Varshavchik 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

firewalld's --add-masquerade option breaks ntpd, and other things. This has been documented in bug 1152472 as always reproducible, but nobody seems to care. I do notice a masquerade clause in the documentation for firewalld's "rich language". I was wondering if --add-masquerade's breakage could be worked around by enabling masquerading only for my local lan IP address range. So I tried: --remove-masquerade --add-rich-language 'rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.0.0/24" masquerade' This doesn't appear to make any difference. traceroutes from the lan to globally-routable IP addresses are blocked by the firewall. Is there anything missing that needs to be done. firewalld.language man page's description does not offer any clues.

I have been looking for 2TB 2.5", 7200RPM drive to no avail. There are 5400 rpm drives - but I found them considerably slower than 7200 RPM drives. If anyone has the "inside scoop" on this, would sure appreciate the info. Cheers, JD

OpenCL support for GPU and JtR
by Alex 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Hi, I'm trying to get OpenCL support installed for using john to test passwords. I've installed every package related to OpenCL listed in the current repository for fedora20, and it still doesn't recognize it. Is this a compiler issue? Is OpenCL fully support in fedora20? The config.log from configure output reports this: configure:9844: checking for gcc option to support OpenMP configure:9859: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c >&5 conftest.c:48:2: error: unknown type name 'choke' choke me ^ Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

palimpsest - is there a replacement
by Bill Davidsen 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Until quite recently there was a package, palimpsest, which was used to graphically view the layout of the drives on the system, making it easy to see RAID, and volume groups, etc, and view the health of the individual drives using SMART data. Later this was renames gnome-system-disk (is this a fork, or did GNOME just grab it as their own?) but was sill available. I never fould the action items in the program all that useful, I prefer to use other tools to creat RAID arrays, play with LVM, etc, but the tool was really useful to visualize complex storage setups, particularly if you are going into a system you didn't set up, or did so long ago. What's the tool which replaces this? This should be maintained by Redhat as a system tool, since I can't find anything in RHEL7 which seems to provide the information, and I am considering upgrading a server farm, with at most any two servers alike. They bought what IBM told them was the best buy, some have hardware RAID, some software RAID, some whatever dm sets up. There must be some visualization tool, right? -- bill davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> CTO TMR Associates, Inc Unsigned numbers may not be negative.

by Geoffrey Leach 25 Dec '14

A rogue printer daemon appears to have filled up /tmp with 16,000.000 symlinks. Question: how to delete them? (Sometime before the end of 2015)

desktop dictionary
by Peter G. 25 Dec '14

25 Dec '14

Is there a dictionary that can be used with okular, firefox, other programs, such that: when reading a file in any of the aforementioned programs, one need only click on a word and the meanings of any English, German, French and other language words will appear (the definitions for these languages need not be translated, but definitions for other languages, if supported, must appear in one of these languages).
