I started this journey with a variety of web pages such as this one: https://www.hackster.io/thatiotguy/enable-monitor-mode-in-tp-link-tl-wn722n… I'm not wedded to this USB adapter, I'd like to know which one would actually work in monitor mode, out of the box, with Fedora supplied drivers. > P.S.

Nope, I tried sending a screen shot, but the mailing list is holding my message for moderation. There is a column in the table entitled Monitor Mode, but it's filled in with dashes.

Fwd: Monitor mode (w. TP-Link WN722N & Fedora)
by Fulko Hew 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

F.Y.I. I also sent this to the Wireshark user's list to see if someone there can help me. ------ I'm trying to sniff my Wifi for a project, so I purchased a TP-Link WN722N USB adapter and followed the various instructions I've found on the Web. (I don't know if it's a Wireshark issue, a driver issue, or a Fedora issue.) ip link set wlan0 down iw wlan0 set monitor none ip link set wlan0 up When I plugged the adapter in I saw a new device 'wlp0s20f0u3' in addition to my internal adapter 'wlps20'. Using the instructions, it failed: # iw set wlp0s20f0u3 down # iw wlp0s20f0u3 set monitor none command failed: No such device (-19) --> I don't know why? So now that I have 2 adapters, I enabled the TPLink as my network connection (successfully) and tried to put my on-board adapter into monitor mode, instead: # iw wlp2s0 set monitor none # iwconfig wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11 Mode:Monitor Tx-Power=22 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on # iplink set wlp2s0 up # It looks good, so I start Wireshark (v 2.28) (Fedora 26), and look at Wireshark's 'capture options' table, it shows the interface, but under the heading 'Mon Mode', it shows disabled. (I also have 'Use promiscuous mode on all interfaces' enabled.) --> Why does it show disabled? --> Is it really disabled ? --> How do I know which frequencies (or bands) it might be listening on? I started sniffing, but it doesn't capture anything. ... And after about 2 minutes, I get a pop-up error message from Wireshark saying: "The network adapter on which the capture was being done is no longer running; the capture has stopped." Where to start ? Thanks Fulko

Paste into GnuCash problem
by ToddAndMargo 28 Sep '20

28 Sep '20

Hi All, Fedora 32, x64 Xfce 4.14 gnucash-4.1-1.fc32.x86_64 I have a situation where I have the Date, Number, Description, Transfer, Payment, Charge loaded into the secondary clipboard (<ctrl><C>). (Linux has four clipboards.) When I paste (ctrl<V>) into GnuCash, I can't get it to paste across boundaries. In other words everything goes into "date". I have tried tabs and returns as delimiters. (I can insert anything I want if it is on the ascii table.) When typing directly into GnuCash, a tabs moves you to the next category. Anyone know a workaround? Any way to make GnuCash think I am typing and not pasting? Many thanks, -T

Same issue...
by Robert 28 Sep '20

Hi I have been experiencing issues with Firefox 80.0.1 on a Lenovo Laptop, which also has a Ryzen processor in it. I have had to resort to using Chrome Browser as it is to unreliable. Not sure this is the appropriate method to respond to the Email I received below but I thought I would give it a try. Robert " I started to get frequent tabs crashes from the moment I recently moved to new laptop. Lenovo E14 Gen 2 with Ryzen 4500U has Firefox tab crash often with the same 16GB which had no problems on oldish Dell Latitude with Intel Gen 6th. cheers, L.

Flatpak - Part 2
by David 28 Sep '20

28 Sep '20

Thank you all, but again, I had to just resolve the issue with my own noggin. [me@localhost ~]$ sudo flatpak update [sudo] password: Looking for updates… Info: org.fedoraproject.Platform is end-of-life, with reason: Fedora 31 runtime is no longer supported. Nothing to do. [me@localhost ~]$ flatpak remove org.fedoraproject.Platform Similar installed refs found for ‘org.fedoraproject.Platform’: 1) runtime/org.fedoraproject.Platform/x86_64/f31 (system) 2) runtime/org.fedoraproject.Platform/x86_64/f32 (system) 3) All of the above Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-3]: 1 ID Branch Op 1. [-] org.fedoraproject.Platform f31 r Uninstall complete. [me@localhost ~]$ Again, the point was, that new users to Linux are not going to ph*ck with all that flatpak nonsense. But I will keep using flatpaks and appimages in Rawhide, because I am a glutton for punishment, and want lots of attention. LOL ! My plan as stated before, is simply to show people who have never used Fedora or Rawhide, how to get started, the pro & cons, the pitfalls, and most of all that you will be almost entirely on your own, and explain all that using newbie-language, street-talk, slang, vulgarities, comedy, metaphors, puns, etc. But I do love you all. Don't get me wrong. David Locklear
