dnf update question
by David 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

I use the following command to update $ sudo dnf update & flatpak update Is there a better way to do this. Does anyone have a script or alias thing that does all that with just sudo dufu or something simple ? I am aware, that all I have to do is hit the up arrow key, and it will type the last used commands. I think all Linux commands in all distros do that. Right ? David Locklear

What download image for i686
by Fulko Hew 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

I recently acquired an old HP Mini 110 with an Intel Atom N270 CPU. Trying my default Fedora install told me it couldn't boot the X86_64 version, so I guess I need an i686 version. Scouring getfedora.org and archives.fedoraproject.org, I don't see one. I thought F30 still worked on 32 bit. Where can I find the most recent (KDE) version that can still boot on it? Thanks.

Where has access to windows workgroups gone?
by Robert McBroom 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

caja, dolphin, konqueror, thunar and nautilus all fail to connect to the windows systems on the local network. I can connect with smbclient and cifs in a terminal but that doesn't allow the full capability of click and drag to move files and examine them. Is athere something I am missing tahat will restore the functionality?

Any one have luck putting Fedora on a Beaglebone Black?
by Richard Shaw 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

So yeah, it's older but I got it for free and wanted to see if I could use it. From what I can tell the armv7 images should work on it. arm-image-installer does some extra "magic" for the am355x processor but it won't boot it. If I hold down the button while I plug it in, nothing happens. No indicator lights at all. I've been able to boot the Debian image from SD and got it written to the internal eMMC. Actually the Cloud9 platform preinstalled is pretty nice. But I'd still like to put Fedora on it :) Thanks, Richard

selinux issues -- for test system/httpd user access
by bruce 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Hey list! 1st, thanks to all the help I've gotten over time from the list. Stay safe everyone!! I'm finally jumping into deploying selinux on a test system. My use case: To create a test local VM To fire up httpd/mysql on the VM To create a couple of test users on the VM Create a test static website under /var/www/html/cat using index.html aa.php I've already got the VM, test users, httpd, etc.. And things run with selinux disabled. Now it's time to take the jump, and engage selinux! My selinux needs: to setup selinux attributes/security to allow apache/httpd to run correctly to allow the httpd to handle/process the index.html to allow the httpd to handle/process the aa.php also, say I create test user 'bob' 'bob' will have a dir /home/bob I want 'bob' to be able to create/edit files, and to be able to copy files, to read/write/delete files into the /var/www/html/cat dir structure I've looked through numerous docs/sites and see a bunch of stuff. But I really don't want to screw this up, given that I realize that messing this up can be painful to try to figure out what I did wrong. So: I'm trying to figure out what I need to do for selinux for the user 'bob' I'm trying to figure out what I need to do for selinux for the apache/httpd process Trying to understand what I need to do to allow user 'bob' access to change the /var/www/html/cat dirs.. Thoughts/Comments are more than welcome ps: Once I get the basic above things working, I'll be expanding to handle mysql processes, as well as allowing external dev/test servers to update the 'prod' system.

What are the top 5? Sorry, but there aint, and probably wont ever, be such a thing. I know of people who downloaded an image, and subsequently installed it over 100,000 times. No one will ever know about such schemes. Only the use of Distro's with commercial support (RHEL, SLES, Canononical) will know how much their product is been used, and they are unlikely to tell.

Tip: experimenting with servers
by ToddAndMargo 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hi All, If you are getting into servers, here is a tip. Install qemu-kvm and those OS'es as virtual machines you are targeting as clients. You can set up your own mini network to learn and configure things. I get away with three virtual machines running at the same time on my system before it bogs down. -T

Inkscape 1.0 rc1
by David 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

For your information, Flathub, is still on the old version, 92.4, as far as I can tell. Fedora flatpak project has 1.0 beta 2 version. Rawhide has the new 1.0 rc1 and I just now installed it natively. The dependencies appear to all be the same as in the Version 32 directory, except for "graphviz." which has a slightly newer point-release in Rawhide. The link below is just a simple word-art using the rc1 of Inkscape 1.0. https://www.dropbox.com/s/l2esdhucaa37a24/inkscape%201dot0rc1.png?dl=0 I am sure all that info above will change quickly in the coming weeks.

FC31 : Virtual Machine Manager creates unsupported config
by sean darcy 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

I'm trying to create a small virtual guest for debian using Virtual Machine Manager. I accept all the defaults, but: Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: 'directory' storage format is not directly supported by QEMU, use 'dir' disk type instead' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 75, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2089, in _do_async_install guest.installer_instance.start_install(guest, meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 544, in start_install doboot, transient) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 491, in _create_guest domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3915, in createXML if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self) libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: 'directory' storage format is not directly supported by QEMU, use 'dir' disk type instead The virt io tab shows storage format as "dir". I can't figure out the location of the actual xml file that VMM creates. Sigh. Any help appreciated. sean

nfs vs samba
by bruce 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hi Not a flame war. I'm going to have a use case, where I spin up a lot of cloud VM. The worker VM does some work, and then returns the resulting work/files to a single VM. I'm looking at doing a NFS/Samba server for the storage VM. Any thoughts one way or the other. The storage VM will be accessible from the client VMs. I'm assuming the client VM would mount the storage VM, and do some sort of write to the device. The overall process would also have to employ selinux on both the client, as well as the storage VM. Thoughts/Comments?? thanks
