/var/btmp with ssh:nottyroot
by Michael D. Setzer II 26 Sep '20

26 Sep '20

Had one Fedora 32 machine that has the ssh port open. the /var/btmp file was showing a number of lines with the ssh:nottyroot line followed by various different IP addresses. Can stop the sshd service that the btmp file stops growing. Use to use denyhosts on systems, but it seems to have been removed. The old denyhost would add blocked ipaddresses to stop these sites? Know that root is not allowed to login ssh by default, so are these lines just saying attempts had been blocked. Have vsftpd setup to use passive ports, so blocking port 22 would not be a big deal. But just seeing the btmp file grow seems to show wasted bandwidth if not showing an issue. Is it an issue or not?? Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Scrolling using keyboard combos doesn't work in VT or multiuser mode
by Andre Robatino 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

I noticed recently that Shift+PageUp, Shift+PageDown, Ctrl+Shift+UpArrow, and Ctrl+Shift+DownArrow no longer work for scrolling up and down in a VT or in multiuser mode, even though they work fine in graphical mode, where ironically they're not really needed since there one can just use the scrollbar. I see this in F32, F33, and Rawhide. I've seen it in the latter two for the past week or two, don't know if it was introduced in F32 around the same time. Anyone know if this is a known bug, and if not, what component to file a bug against?

by bruce 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Hi. List has been rather sparse today. I have a curl issue that I thought I'd toss out. Yes it's off topic, and yes I've posted to the curl list as well. The basic url operates within the browser the curl cmd generates a timeout (7) error. curl --verbose -L 'https://www.saddleback.edu/' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --compressed -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --cookie-jar /crawl_tmp/a.lwp --cookie /crawl_tmp/a.lwp thoughts?? thanks

Suspend not working
by GianPiero Puccioni 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Hi, a friend has a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series 5593 and "suspend" when he closes the lid doesn't work anymore, as it doesn't get back and he has to reboot it. It did work a few months ago with kernel (he thinks) 5.10 or 11 but with newer kernels it doesn't, we updated the system to F32 (it was F31) but nothing changed. He uses KDE but weinstalled Gnome too and it was the same The video card: "Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (rev 07)" could be a change in driver? Weird thing is he just used a Live version of Ubuntu and it seems to work, is there a known difference between them? Searching the net I found that there is a problem with the "type" of suspend used (S3 or S2 or something) and to try to put the line "mem_sleep_default=deep" in the kernel line, no change... Any suggestions? I'd really hate see him switching to Ubuntu just for this.

Is this better ?
by David 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=9285 I have never ever used Wordpress. I do not yet know if I followed all the Fedora procedures to do that. My first impression is that that entire procedure is going to scare off 100% of the enthusiastic Linux users that want to share ideas about Fedora. My concern with that blog thing, is that I am wanting to share my experience today with Fedora users and other enthusiast of Linux, that today for the very first time, I used Firejail and I using it now to use the appimage of yesterday's nightly build of Fedora 81.0, and I am doing it in Rawhide, and that all the effort create a blog, and someone might skim over it a month from now and not find any relevance to it. The other problem with blogging, is you have to be more careful with grammar and you can't misspeak about things. You can't tell people to go check out "Ferdora" in a blog. LOL ! Please email me privately, to mentor me in this new journey. David Locklear Arcola, Texas USA P.S. Fedora is all about security, but they want to know my latitude and longitude to be a formal contributor ??

Krita related / appimage related
by David 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

I have never ever used an appimage before until just now. Earlier today, I saw on Phoronix that Krita had a new beta version. So I went to their website, clicked on nightly build and could not find a beta, but did find an alpha. I downloaded the Linux version which was an appimage. I went to the Fedora Wiki about appimages and followed the 3 step guide to using appimages and was surprised how simple it was. Krita 4.4 alpha works nominally on Fedora. so if there is a beta somewhere, then I guess it would too. In order to try this new version of Krita, one must understand the basic file system layout in Fedora which in my case is: /david/Downloads/krita4.4.appimage use cd command in terminal to change to Downloads In my case, that was as simple as: $ cd Downloads next easy step ( after the $ in terminal ) type chmod +x krita-4.4.0-alpha-x86_64.appimage ( you can cut and paste the file name to simplify that, as it has some extra stuff in it ) Exit terminal, and go back to Files Just double-click on the Krita appimage file in Files afterwards. Please let me know if there is a simpler way. I imagine you might want to move it from Downloads directory to a temporary directory or an custom directory that you created for appimages ??

sort of Firefox related
by David 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

I did a new install of Rawhide a few days ago, and I just assumed that the Firefox version was the most recent or within a few weeks of the most recent. I was pondering the idea of playing with Gnome Boxes, and decided I would try to download an iso of some other distro. When I logged on to Manjaro website, it immediately gave me a large dialogue box that said "your browser Version 78 is out of date." So why could Fedora not tell me that ? Anyways, I removed version 78 ( the rpm version ) and installed the flatpak version, which is 80. I am not up to date on the general consensus of using flatpaks in September of 2020. I have no problem with flatpaks. Now I have to set up all my web-stuff settings again. Why would anybody want to use the rpm version of Firefox ? Limited resources on their computer ?? While on the subject of flatpaks, what are some of the upcoming flatpak apps to keep an eye out for ? What are flatpaks are way above their rpm counterparts in development ? Are future versions of Fedora ( 34, 35, etc. ) going to default to the flatpak version of Firefox ? My install of Rawhide has about 20 man-hours of usage, with no problems. I hope to do an install of 33 in a month or two. On an unrelated topic, the fans on my Radeon 5500XT, do not turn on except when booting up, but I have not tried to play a video game yet. Cheers, David Locklear

Flatpak related and Firefox
by David 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Yesterday, I posted some questions about Firefox and Flatpak. I am saddened to report, that I can not get anything to print from Firefox using the flatpak version from Flathub. I have not deep-dived into this yet. But I end up having to download the item and open it in Gnome Files, and print from there. So I answered another one of my questions the hard-way. Newbies will likely encounter problems with flatpaks that they do not understand, nor know how to troubleshoot, and might even go as far as buying a copy of Windows. On a not-so-related note, the other computer that I have access to is a ACER Chromebase computer ( not a Chromebook ), and I love it. So unless you don't mind Google and the SEE-EYE-EHH watching you, and you are not needing a powerful computer, I would recommend at least playing with the LInux container in that ( assuming you are willing to waste $ 600 ). I guess you could always take it back to the store afterwards and get a refund. David Locklear

wifi related / Firefox related
by David 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

I posted something earlier about Firefox and flatpaks, and after setting up my Firefox settings using the Fedora flatpak, I realized that I had the same video-codec issue that others had written about. Realizing that all of that was all over my head, I removed Firefox and reinstalled the Flathub version, and all the video stuff seems to work. Please do not shoot the messenger. I realize Fedora has ideology about FOSS. So I answered one of my earlier questions. There are reasons not to use the Fedora flatpak of Firefox, as I was able to get the repository version to work. Disclaimer: I am in Rawhide and maybe some of the rpmfusion stuff for Rawhide still has some kinks in it. Right ? On a totally different note, I purposely purchased a new X570 ASUS motherboard without wi-fi, because of my unpleasant experience with Broadcom wi-fi on my previous motherboards. I purchased the ASUS PCE-AX58BT add-in card, and installed that and whah-laa, my wi-f worked without having to do anything. It is an expensive card, and I do not know if I am getting all the potential of the card, as far as wi-fi speeds. I did an internet speed test, ( using my motels crappy wi-fi ) and it was a decent speed ( download 98 / upload 46 ). One advantage to going this route, is that I could potentially upgrade my wi-fi in the future, if a new card came out with wi-fi 7 or wi-fiXT, LOL ! And they are relatively easy to install if you have a spacious case and a free slot. However, they might distract from the display of your video card, if you wanting to show off your fancy new ASUS RTX 3080. David Locklear
