F21: infection reported by "chkrootkit".
by William Mattison 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

Hi all, While doing my routine patches and scans, "chkrootkit reported the following: (*** snip ***) Checking `asp'... not infected Checking `bindshell'... warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. warning, got bogus l2cap line. INFECTED (PORTS: 3133) Checking `lkm'... chkproc: nothing detected (*** snip ***) I ran "rkhunter" immediately after the "chkrootkit" run finished, and it reported no problems. How do I determine if this is a false alarm or a real problem? If this is a real problem, what should I do about it? Also, as I'm neither a security expert nor a sysadmin, what is port 3133 used for? thanks, Bill.

fragile Live Fedora ? Device-mapper Snapshot vs. Layered Fs solution (AUFS or Overlayfs)
by derek 30 Jul '15

users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org I tend to run Live Linux on laptop for months without a shutdown (suspend / resume only). Ubuntu and Mint work in this mode well, until recently I want to give Fedora a chance, but it failed with IO Errors like this, when I did sudo yum install something (or dnf install something), this is always reproducible kernel panic whenever I run it on laptop physical hardware, or in kvm, with the current Fedora 22 Workstation image, I tested a few other spins as well, failed the same https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/ https://labs.fedoraproject.org/security/download/index.html I wonder is this a well known issue ? on Fedora Bugzilla database ? If under Live OS mode, the / doesn't support writing how can it be called Live ? I researched a little more and figured out because Fedora Live mode runs on top of dev-mapper snapshot driver while Ubuntu runs on Overlayfs that looks more stable; wonder are there some technical reasons why Fedora use dev-mapper snapshot such immature driver ?

I wonder how windows handles these.

by Frederic Muller 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi! I have been struggling installing Fedora on a friend's MBA as the local SSD doesn't seem to be recognized. I found a few posts online with various degrees of luck, unfortunately they never mentioned with MBA is used and that didn't work for me. Does anyone has (positive?) experience on the topic? Thank you. Fred

FAIL: Thunderbird: Replying to thread
by Rich Emberson 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

I use gmail. When I reply to a thread using Thunderbird, the response never shows up, but, if I include the email of the person who wrote the thread I am responding to, that person gets the email. On the other hand, if I log in to my gmail account, the I can post a response, that that response appears as a new, top-level discussion thread. How do I response to a message in a thread using Thunderbird and have the users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org accept it? Thanks Richard

64-bit Fedora 21, up-to-date. In the last few days, suspend is asking for authentication. AFAIK, nothing has changed, other than updates. Any suggestions? Thanks.
