qemu-kvm running machine at host shutdown/reboot?
by ToddAndMargo 29 Mar '25

29 Mar '25

Hi All, What happens to a running qemu-kvm virtual machine when the host shuts down or reboots? Does the hypervisor issue a shutdown to the VM? Or freeze and save the vm? Or just cut the vm's leg off? Many thanks, -T

searching a directory sub-tree.
by home user 29 Mar '25

29 Mar '25

Good afternoon, I'm trying to search a directory sub-tree for a specific string. I use this: find . -type f -print | xargs grep -l [string] /dev/null (but without the brackets). This often works. But it sometimes fails when the search string contains "printable" characters other than letters and digits. Examples of both: bash.32[.Organ]: find . -type f -print | xargs grep -l D-_qS_3KXBA /dev/null ./organ_dir.txt bash.33[.Organ]: find . -type f -print | xargs grep -l -ob9LHPEaKY /dev/null grep: conflicting matchers specified bash.34[.Organ]: find . -type f -print | xargs grep -l "-ob9LHPEaKY" /dev/null grep: conflicting matchers specified bash.35[.Organ]: bash.35[.Organ]: bash.35[.Organ]: bash.36[.Organ]: find . -type f -print | xargs grep -l '-ob9LHPEaKY' /dev/null grep: conflicting matchers specified bash.37[.Organ]: How do I get this to work even when the search string includes (especially starts with) printable characters other than digits and letters?

Dongle USB
by Patrick Dupre 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Hello, 4 months ago, I could used my LTE USB Dongle because I could not connect to 192.168.1.1. There has no reason for that. Anyway, I decided to buy a new Dongle. But I am facing the same issue. lsusb is fine. Could it be an issue with fedora? after an update? I already tried to use a previous kernel. Thank. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com ===========================================================================

Evolution Functionality
by Stephen Morris 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Hi, I have a query about the functionality of Evolution as a mail package. Does Evolution support the tagging of outgoing mails as "organisation-sensitive" and hence generate the appropriate mail headers, and conversely, when an email comes in with mail headers specifying a sensitivity level does Evolution tag the mail appropriately? Does Evolution, when using IMAP, provide the functionality to leave the mails on the server or mirror them locally if desired? Does Evolution, when setting up the mail interface, provide the functionality to auto configure the mail server definitions or do you have to set them up manually? I'm trying to test some mail sensitivity issues at work and Thunderbird doesn't support that functionality. regards, Steve

QEMU-GA
by ToddAndMargo 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Hi All, Fedora 41 qemu-kvm-9.1.3-2.fc41.x86_64 Windows Server 2025 STD virto-win-0.1.240.1 I am constantly getting this error in my Windows System log. Googling tells me what it is but not how to fix it. But does tell me that if if crashes, it could crash the OS. A timeout was reached (45000 milliseconds) while waiting for the QEMU-GA service to connect. You guys have any words of wisdom? Many thanks, -T Windows Server: first the expense, the ooo and the aaahhh and the excitement, then the crashing, the screaming, the running in terror, the early morning panic phone calls.

VM keeps steeling my USB backup drives
by ToddAndMargo 25 Mar '25

25 Mar '25

Hi All, How do I tell qemu-kvm that I do not want a particular virtual machine to constantly steal my USB3 backup drives when I insert them. I have to go into the VM console and unhook them. And every time. I tried removing the USB device, but it won't let me. I wonder if I could remove it from the XML code. What is the right way to do this? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I had a dime every time I didn't know what was going on, I'd be like, "Why is everyone giving me all these dimes?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

command line smtp mailer?
by ToddAndMargo 24 Mar '25

Hi All, Anyone have a favorite command line outbound (smtp) email program that is easy to use? I'd like to be able to put everything on the command line and not have configuration files to deal with. I have looked at mailx (snail) and msmtp, but am a bit overwhelmed by them Many thanks, -T
