DWA-192 Driver no Longer Compiles After Maintenance Update in F25
by Stephen Morris 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi, I am using a DWA-192 usb WiFi adapter in F25 hence I need to get a driver from github to be compiled on my system so that I can use the adapter. This driver compiled and worked quite happily with kernel 4.9.9, not that the kernel version is necessarily an indicator of compile success. It had been a month or more since I had apply any system updates, so I did so two days ago, which as part of the update updated the kernel to 4.11.5, and when dkms went to compile the driver for the new kernel the compile failed with error messages about implicit function definitions and messages about warnings having been converted to errors. I tried doing a search on the net for a DWA-192 driver and got a link to github to a driver version that seemed to be the same version as the driver I already had, but I downloaded it anyway and did a manual compile of that but it failed to compile with the same errors. Does anyone know if there is an updated driver that will compile with the current level of F25 or whether it has yet to be updated for compatibility with F25 and hence I will need to continue to use Ethernet internet access? regards, Steve

Is there a way to stop ipv6 leakage without turning off ipv6?
by William Oliver 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

I'm using Fedora 25 on an HP laptop with KDE. I commonly use a VPN service, but it leaks ipv6 addresses. This seems to be a common problem with VPN and ipv6, from what I've read on the internet. So, I've turned off ipv6 for my wireless interface, and that seems to solve the problem. However, I just can't help but think that this will eventually cause a problem somewhere. Is there a better solution for ipv6 leakage with a vpn on Fedora 25 other than just turning it off? Thanks, billo

attempts to hack in?
by William Mattison 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Good afternoon, (f25 home workstation) While looking at journalctl output yesterday and today for other reasons (separate thread), I saw many "authentication failure" messages, over half also saying "user=root". I also saw many "password check failed for user (root)" messages. I saw many unknown user login attempts, and a few invalid user login attempts, and some attempts using one of the valid regular user names. Why? I am not yet good at reading journalctl output, so I don't know if these connection attempts are coming from "outside" or within this system. I don't know if I should be concerned or not. I do not intend anyone or anything to be able to get in to this system except for things that I initiate (examples: Firefox activity, Thunderbird activity, "dnf upgrade", installs, etc.). And it doesn't make sense to me that any of those would be trying to log in to this system to do what I want. I also don't see why anything on this system would try to log in to this same system except me personally (su, sudo, and actual logins). I am the only actual user. What's going on? How do I determine where they're coming from? Is there really someone or something trying to hack in? If no, what really is going on? Most important, How do I prevent connections from outside? thanks, Bill.

Screensaver Anomaly in F25
by Craig Lanning 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

I did an upgrade from F24 to F25. Everything seems to be working fine. I use xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver with a Gnome desktop. I have noticed that the timer for the screensaver is not being reset when I type or use the mouse. I can be using the machine and the screensaver will activate and then deactivate (since I'm typing or using the mouse). Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior? Is this something with xscreensaver or is the timer reset somewhere else? Craig

CIA Outlaw Country attack against CentOS / Rhel (and Fedora?) Is this credible?
by stan 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Wikileaks released a document about an attack against CentOS / Rhel. https://wikileaks.org/vault7/#OutlawCountry Here's the text, there are some docs there also. OutlawCountry 29 June, 2017 Today, June 29th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the OutlawCountry project of the CIA that targets computers running the Linux operating system. OutlawCountry allows for the redirection of all outbound network traffic on the target computer to CIA controlled machines for ex- and infiltration purposes. The malware consists of a kernel module that creates a hidden netfilter table on a Linux target; with knowledge of the table name, an operator can create rules that take precedence over existing netfilter/iptables rules and are concealed from an user or even system administrator. The installation and persistence method of the malware is not described in detail in the document; an operator will have to rely on the available CIA exploits and backdoors to inject the kernel module into a target operating system. OutlawCountry v1.0 contains one kernel module for 64-bit CentOS/RHEL 6.x; this module will only work with default kernels. Also, OutlawCountry v1.0 only supports adding covert DNAT rules to the PREROUTING chain. My first take is that this doesn't represent a very serious threat. Do you disagree?

Writing a systemd service file
by Alex 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Hi, I'm trying to write a service file for a daemon and having some problems. I believe the issue is with the ability to give the process write and read access to parts of the filesystem which appear to somehow be restricted. The daemon is the Avira virus scanner, which runs under amavisd-new. The daemon's home directory is /usr/local/savapi-sdk-linux_glibc24_x86_64, and it needs write access in the modules directory. The daemon can run as root or as the amavis user. It drops its privileges to the amavis user after starting anyway. Here is what I have so far: # cat /etc/systemd/system/savapi.service [Unit] Description=Avira Antivirus SDK Documentation=http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#doc After=network.target Wants=clamd(a)amavisd.service Wants=postfix.service RequiresMountsFor="/usr/local/savapi-sdk-linux_glibc24_x86_64" [Service] Type=forking User=amavis Group=amavis PIDFile=/var/run/amavisd/savapi.pid ExecStart=/var/spool/amavisd/savapi.sh start ExecReload=/var/spool/amavisd/savapi.sh reload Restart=on-failure #PrivateTmp= PrivateDevices=false CapabilityBoundingSet= ProtectSystem=full ProtectHome=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I've specified "RequiresMountsFor", which I understood could be used to provide access to parts of the filesystem. I've also disabled PrivateTmp and PrivateDevices. The ExecStart script just spawns the savapi daemon: #!/bin/bash cd /usr/local/savapi-sdk-linux_glibc24_x86_64/bin ./savapi --config=savapi.conf & When I attempt to start the service, journalctl -xe shows me: Validation failed for option 'ModulesDir' with value '/usr/local/savapi-sdk-linux_glibc24_x86_64/modules'. Path cannot be accessed (no write permission). ModulesDir is /usr/local/savapi-sdk-linux_glibc24_x86_64/modules When I run the script manually as root or as the amavis user, it runs successfully. I think the problem is that I don't understand how systemd processes access the filesystem and the restrictions on permissions. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Keyboard problems.
by George R Goffe 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Hi, I'm running Fedora 27 x86_64 (rawhide) and have noticed a problem in text windows with Firefox. The problem exists in both the FF released version AND the FF beta version. It could be Firefox. The problem exists with KDE and WindowMaker as the desktop manager. What I'm seeing: I have the caps lock key mapped to the ctrl key so when I type ALL caps I have to hold down the shift key. When I try to insert a space between words I have to release the shift key, otherwise the space is ignored. This used to work but since I reinstalled this system the keyboard is acting strangely. This behavior plus certain other letters seem to want to generate a cedilla or an accent grave or accent acute or an umlaut. There are a few other characters that behave similarly. Coincidentally I started getting messages about python forcing "PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=0". Maybe this is not related to this problem, I can't tell. Could this be a LOCALE issue? I can't tell if this is a bug or just a UFU (User Foul Up). Any thoughts/hints/tips/suggestions would be gratefully accepted. Thanks, George...

Thunderbird Issues
by ProPAAS DBA 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hi All; I'm running Fedora 25, the latest update also updated Thunderbird to version 52.2.0 Since then I am seeing lots of weird/broken behavior, I have multiple accounts and sometimes when I open thunderbird I see the folders in an account and other times I see the account name ad no folders (not even the INBOX). I seem to be unable to use many folders offline even with the flag checked for offline use. Anyone know of any work arounds? Maye I should downgrade thunderbird? Can someone point me towards how to downgrade a single package? Thanks in advance

Fedora 25: cxacru module (ADSL Modem USB) fail to load its firmware at boot time
by Dario Lesca 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

I have migrate my home server from Fedora 11 to Fedora 25 with a new installation. All work fine except the load firmware of the cxacru module (ADSL Modem USB) at boot time, after a poweroff and unplug/plug the AC power cable. If I try reload the modules manually when the server is started I get the same error and the firmware is not loaded. If I disconnect and reconnect modem USB when the server is on, the cxacru module load its firmware without problem and I can load the ppp interface property .

But I must unplug and reattach manually the usb cable before run this script There is some way (command line) to simulate unplug/plug of Modem USB? Someone have some suggest? Many thanks -- Dario Lesca (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 25 Workstation)
