IOTOP Display Query
by Stephen Morris 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

HI, When I run IOTOP, the first column is TID, what is TID? This display is showing in excess of 50 entries for Thunderbird where all of them have a unique TID value, is Thunderbird really starting that many threads? Also when I run IOTOP I get a display in the middle of the screen that says "task_delayacct is OFF press Ctrl-T to toggle". If I press ctrl-t to toggle it on it stop displaying the item consuming the most I/O at the top of the display, and if I toggle it back off it goes back to showing the biggest I/O consumer at the top. What is task_delayacct and what is IOTOP doing with it? regards, Steve

security issue?
by home user 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

(f-40, stand-alone workstation, gnome) A few times in the past couple of months, I've received the following warning from "chkrootkit": - - - - - - bash.1[~]: chkrootkit ROOTDIR is `/' Checking `amd'... not found [snip] Checking `bindshell'... not infected Checking `lkm'... You have 1 process hidden for ps command chkproc: Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed chkdirs: nothing detected Checking `rexedcs'... not found [snip] Checking `OSX_RSPLUG'... not tested bash.2[~]: - - - - - - Leading and trailing lines are merely context. "rkhunter" gives no warnings. What's going on with that lkm warning?

systemd configuration with service configuration check
by polakovi＠niif.hu 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Hi, Novice question: A service that can be run under systemd is given. On the one hand, it is possible to check the configuration before starting, e.g. "sshd -t". I would like a systemd configuration file that contains the configuration check. For this, the '[Service] ExecStartPre=' directive seems appropriate. However, I would like this to work when releasing a 'systemctl restart sshd.service'. My problem is this: Since, as far as I know, under systemd the restart is actually a stop and a start call issued consecutively, stop *stops* the service, and start is shocked to find that the service cannot be started due to a misconfiguration if someone edits the configuration as recklessly as I do. This would make restarting less trouble because the system will *work* with the old configuration. If I also adopt systemd's ExecStop feature, I feel like I'm pretty much going into a stinging forest. Can this task be solved? If systemd had ExecStop[Pre,Post] and/or config test, life might be simpler. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards, István

Curl Errors During DNF Repository Refresh
by Stephen Morris 27 Nov '24

27 Nov '24

Hi, Can someone tell me if the following errors were because of a network hiccup (there was no visual indication from F41 that the wifi network had disconnected and reconnected) or whether it was because of some other reason? Running the command dnf check-upgrade again indicated there was nothing to do.

winehq.repo baseurl not update revision
by ToddAndMargo 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Hi All, Fedora 41 (from fc 40) wine-staging 9.21 & 9.17 (WineHQ) I noticed that `dnf upgrade wine-staging` left me on 9.17. On investigation, I found that my /etc/yum.repos.s/winehq.repo's baseurl was still on "40". vi'ing (editing) it to "41" solved the issue. Question: when I upgrade Fedora from a prior Fedora release, am I required to manually vi my winehq.repo to the new release or was this a fluke? I need this info for my notes of Fedora release upgrades. Many thanks, -T

After upgrade to F41 unable to change propeties of Plasma desktop icons
by Frank Bures 23 Nov '24

23 Nov '24

Hi, Just upgraded to F41 from F40. When I try to change properties of a desktop icon (be it VM-manager, Thunderbird, Chrome or any other) the system would not let me to save the changes. because: Could not save properties due to insufficient write access to: ‘/home/fbures/Desktop/virt-manager.desktop’. And indeed the above location is a link to /usr/share/applications/virt-manager.desktop Everything in that directory is owned by root:root Any advice? Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>
