VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

General protection fault involving flash
by Andre Robatino 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

The Citi.com credit card website allows generating virtual card numbers, but unfortunately they're using flash in that part of the site. When I try to use it in F30, on one particular machine (it's hardware-specific), in GNOME (it doesn't happen in MATE), the Firefox tab crashes and I get a general protection fault, for example [88812.835817] traps: Web Content[2532] general protection fault ip:7f94ee0d0adb sp:7ffedd6a3140 error:0 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f94ee0aa000+8e000] Since flash is involved, it's not clear whether this is the fault of Fedora or flash. This has been happening for around half a year, so flash has been updated several times. It also happened with F29. Anyone know how to narrow down where the issue is?

How do I generate grub for legacy?
by ToddAndMargo 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi All, I have a Fedora 30 flash drive set up for dual booting from Legacy or UEFI. It boots beautifully from UEFI. (It also have a bios_grub partition). It booted perfectly from both under Fedora 29. Now when booting from legacy, it go into "System Setup". If you press system Setup, I get a "/grub/core-system" type error Remaking grub.cfg, I get # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Generating grub configuration file ... Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done Uhhhhh.. I wanted legacy, not EFI. What am I missing?

copy and paste from mouse when window full of icons?
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hello, while using "Files", the explorer application (version 3.28.1-stable) in my Fedora 28 system, I have sometimes this kind of problem: - I normally use what should be "list view" with list of file names - if I have to paste a file/dir or group of copied files/dirs into a location where the page listed is full (no blank space inside it), it seems that I cannot paste: the right mouse click doesn't offer the paste option. In these cases I temporarily switch to what should be "icon view" and in this case I always have some blank space because of how items are displayed. I select a blank space and then right-mouse --> paste Then I come back to list view... Is this a sort of bug or what? Based on this link https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/files-copy.html.en I should have "paste" option in menu, but it doesn't happen, see screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X1ZPYPJ5B8IRDA6T_LL5AfbCD2YFAy6_/view?usp=… NOTE: keyboard shortcut ctrl+c and ctrl+v works, though Thanks in advance.

F30 GNOME Shell not usable anymore / OsLookupColor(): Segmentation fault
by Michael Schwendt 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Dunno when and why this started recently, but I'm hit hard by segfaults taking down GNOME Shell. Bugzilla knows tons of duplicate bug reports about it, dating back to F29 apparently: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-server/bugs/all OsLookupColor(): Segmentation fault at address 0x... Has anyone seen this earlier and knows a workaround perhaps? F30 isn't usable anymore due to those crashes.

But if I run 'lsusb' it is getting this canon device: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04a9:12fe Canon, Inc I downloaded the driver from this link: http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDEwMDAwOTkzMjAx&cmp… And the driver scangearmp2-3.70-1.x86_64.rpm was installed. But still 'xsane' is not finding it but 'lsusb' is showing it. Can I do anything here? Thanks in advance. Das

Hello, I was trying to install the InventorLoader addon for FreeCAD and it requires three python modules to install. xlrd, xlwt and xlutils xlrd and xlwt are available through DNF, xlutils isn't. I saw it mentioned in an old bug report but nothing more. I would like to request that this package be added. https://pypi.org/project/xlutils/

Folks, I installed the ccache package on F30. Doing a rpm -ql on the package show a long list of files that are part of the package, but if I do ls -l /usr/lib64/ccache/ it shows total 576 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 193392 Jan 31 07:23 cc -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 193392 Jan 31 07:23 gcc -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 193392 Jan 31 07:23 x86_64-redhat-linux-gcc where are all the other files, e.g. /usr/lib64/ccache/c++?
