KDE 3 Finger Drag?

$
0
0
I’ve just managed to install Fedora 27 KDE spin in a dual boot configuration on my MacBook Air. I couldn’t get 27 to install directly because of an issue with the /boot/efi partition so I installed 25 and upgraded. I’ve been investigating other distros over the last few weeks with a look to settling on a desktop install. Fedora is my first choice mostly because of RHEL/ Centos. I noticed that Kubuntu recently shipped with the 3 finger drag gesture enabled. I was delighted because it’s a default macOS gesture I’ve used for years.

Is it possible to enable this in the Fedora 27 KDE spin, either directly or through the use of 3rd party code? Ideally directly, as I’ve experimented with touchegg on Kubuntu and not only was it unresponsive but also messed with the KDE defaults.

I’m wondering if it’s a feature that’s making its way into a future Fedora KDE spin.

Lost mounts after recent update (again)

$
0
0
I have a couple mounts added to fstab that have worked great since the last security update lost them a couple months ago. Before that it has been rock solid for years.

The previous security update that broke my connections was due to changing to a higher version of cifs. I added vers=1.0 and things have been good for a couple months until a few days ago security udate when the mounts no longer get made. The entry that has worked since was:

//192.168.1.x/dropbox /mnt/dropbox cifs vers=1.0,credentials=/home/me/.smbcredentials,uid=me,gid=me

Can anyone see anything wrong or make a suggestion for a fstab entry to create a mount to a share. The standard "nothing else has changed" disclaimer applies. Everything is a single subnet internally, no firewalls. I have an Windoz domain where the shares get their permissions. The share is on a NAS though. I can still get to the shares and files when I go the long route: Files -> other locations -> MyNAS -> enter credentials...

Thanks

[SOLVED] KDE battery/brightness widget only controls keyboard brightness

I have a Dell Inspiron 7559, which has a illuminated keyboard. The KDE Plasma battery and brightness widget seems to
be confusing the keyboard brightness with the display. Anyone else have this problem? I can't easily dim the display without it.

Fedora xcfe problem

$

I'm wondering if anyone can help.

I have been running a vnc server with xcfe for some time now and when I originally started it I would get a popup window when doing copy/move operations. At some point though my FC26 updated and suddenly I was no longer getting the notification window.

I updated to FC27 and sadly the same issue remains.

Does anyone know where I should be looking to restore this functionality? Its really awkward not being able to see the progress of a copy operation and as such also not able to cancel it easily if required. I'm using Dolphin as the file manager.

The default file manager DOES pop up a progress bar but I do not like it as I use split view in Dolphin, plus Copy/Paste does not work as expected in the default manager for some reason, I can only copy files if I drag and drop between two instances of the file manager.

FreeIPA - AD trust - remove AD/IPA domain from user/group name

$
0
0
Hi,

I am testing cross-forest trust between an IPA domain and an AD (Active Directory) domain. That is because I need to allow users from both words to access some application.

I have a couple of CentOS 7.4 machines and a FreeIPA (ipa-server-4.5.0-22) domain. All the Linux hosts are members of the IPA domain. My test AD is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and the domain functional level is the same as the system version.

After I had configured the trust I noticed, that at the OS level every user/group defined in an external directory (either IPA or AD) includes the domain name in its name. Before the trust the ipa domain was not included in user/group names.

Is there any way to hide the suffixes? I understand that this is required to unambiguously specify the source of an identity. The problem is that my application cannot handle that correctly.

I already set domain-resolution-order='ipa.defenders.local:ad.defenders.local' in IPA configuration so that users can log in without the domain part, but the user info still displays the domains.

An example user information in my test system is as follows:

Code:

[root@daredevil01 ~]# id pit-ad
uid=9999(pit-ad@ad.defenders.local) gid=1426401104(pit-ad@ad.defenders.local) groups=1426401104(pit-ad@ad.defenders.local),1357200126(ad_users@ipa.defenders.local),1357200118(dd-users@ipa.defenders.local),1426400513(domain users@ad.defenders.local)

Pit

Network Dropouts Troubleshooting

Hello,

I have a 2-Linux Node Oracle RAC running in VMware. I noticed that using both ifconfig and netstat -in show that dropouts are occurring on both the public and private interfaces on both nodes. The Network Admins tell me the hardware is working OK.

What else can I do to isolate whether this issue's source is in the Linux OS or at the hardware level?


Thanks,

Michael

Rust is a compiled language.

I read an interesting article about Rust. The Rustarians are so positive about it that they expect, on Linus's Retirement, to begin using Rust for the kernel.
Given Rust is a smarter C++, and has a C like syntax, the problem solving algorithms are not much improved, but what is improved is the reduction of errors due to humans and memory/task management problems.

sudo dnf install rust. The rust workbench is obtained with sudo dnf install cargo.

I am doing my scanning / reading of the docs. It's a pretty clean language, in my view, better than javascript.
(Please, no language wars).

Language primer is here https://rustbyexample.com/

F27: frequent wayland lockups

$

After upgrading from F26 to F27 I have experienced lots of crashes where wayland session locks up and no button does anything, no magic keys or acpi powerbutton or anything helps. Reset button is needed to get the box up again.

Usually this happens when firefox is open, a video plays in totem (or VLC) and I move a window or adjust the size of a window. Even mouse stops moving.

GPU is Nvidia GTX 1050 with default Nouveau driver. The journalctl -k -b -1 outputs the last kernel log from the crash, last rows of it are:

Code:

Any ideas what I should do? I may have to re-install F26 due to other upgrade issues as well, F27 just seems too unstable for my use.

Asus A7U Laptop stuck in a "coredump loop" after uppgrade to Fedora 27

$

After uppgrading my laptop from fc25 to fc27 it won't boot properly any more. It boots fine until the point where it's supposed to show the login screen, then it just
coredumps and try to restart gdm/wayland and coredumps again and again and again until I hit alt+F2 and go telinit 3.

If I run $ journalctl -e it displays a lot of things like this:

I can get the computer to boot as normal by adding the nomodeset option, but then I can't set the proper graphics mode for the built-in monitor and the system becoms
unusable anyway. I have also tried booting on the fc25 kernel and same xserver that the system ran on before the update, but it still coredumps just as the login screen should
be visible. I also tried changeing the #WaylandEnable=false option in /etc/gdm/custom.conf but it makes absolutely no difference.
I have managed to get lxde running without the nomodeset option on kernel cmdline, but lxde dosen't have a control pannel for my "Wacom Intuos PRO" so unfortunately that dosen't
work for me either.
I also downloaded the source for gnome-session, mutter and xorg-x11-drv-ati to try and debug this myself, but without knowing this code or knowing what to look for I'm just getting nowhere fast.

If anyone has any suggestions on something else to try or what or where the problem is or how to debug or fix this it would be appreciated.

Bridged Wifi + Ethernet

$

0
Hi guys!

I'm currently switching my internet gateway over from Arch Linux to Fedora 27 server. Everything but the network part went smooth (which in fact has never worked smoothly on Arch Linux either).
The problem is that I want to have Ethernet + Wifi bridged. I have 2 ethernet interfaces (enp4s0 is connected to the dsl-router, eno1is connected to my switch) and 1 wifi interface (wlp3s0). I can setup the network manually with the following commands:

Code:

ip link add name br0 type bridge
ip link set br0 up
ip link set eno1 up
ip link set enp4s0 up
ip link set eno1 master br0
ip addr add 192.168.42.1/24 dev br0
ip link set wlp3s0 up
ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev enp4s0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
systemctl start hostapd

Wifi is configured via hostapd and dnsmasq is running on br0 and serving dhcp-requests for Ethernet and Wifi. So this all works, but it's sort of a "hackish" solution. I want to use NetworkManager to do exactly this so it's all reboot safe and well integrated into the startup procedure. What I have so far is the following:

I disabled hostapd and wpa_supplicant (since I want everything to be managed by NetworkManager) and configured NetworkManager like this:

In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1:
Code:

TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eno1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0


In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-elp3s0:
Code:

ESSID=MyAP
MODE=Ap
MAC_ADDRESS_RANDOMIZATION=default
TYPE=Wireless
PROXY_METHOD=none
BROWSER_ONLY=no
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME=MyAP
UUID=27562abf-29c9-484f-975a-506e2607e2be
DEVICE=wlp3s0
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0
KEY_MGMT=WPA-PSK
CHANNEL=1


In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0:
Code:

DEVICE=br0
STP=no
TYPE=Bridge
PROXY_METHOD=none
BROWSER_ONLY=no
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy
NAME=br0
UUID=282f9a73-3a35-41ee-8a47-355f3d239006
IPADDR=192.168.42.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
PREFIX=24
DNS1=127.0.0.1


The ethernet eno1 is working fine, my PCs can all access the internet via the router and the Wifi Accesspoint shows up on my mobile and also as member of the bridge:

Code:

brctl show
bridge name        bridge id                STP enabled        interfaces
br0                8000.386077058e44        no                eno1
                                                        wlp3s0


When I connect to my access point, I don't get past "authorization". I have no clue what the error might be, because even activation loglevel trace on NetworkManager is not giving me any hint of what is happening. No wifi-stuff is showing up there except for this:
Code:

NetworkManager[845]: <debug> [1513622581.6156] device[0x56082c366b10] (wlp3s0): wifi-scan: scanning requested but not allowed at this time

What am I doing wrong here? How can I even see what's maybe going wrong? I'm really frustrated, because it feels like I'm so close to the solution…

Fedora Newbie. So I am really stumped. Any help appreciated.

I have successfully installed Fedora Workstation V27 dual boot with Windows 10. I need to install drivers for my Samsung M2070 multi function printer (printer and scan drivers) which are not included. I downloaded & unzipped the driver files into the Desktop folder to install. These are .sh files so I am trying to use Terminal to install.

When I open Terminal it connects to localhost. What/How do I exit localhost? How can I setup terminal so it connects to a "better" location when opened: Desktop ?? or where ever??

Thanks
John

F27 Server Install

$

Just installed the F27 server and it did a strange thing. The installation would not let me use the whole drive. Only about 18GB of the drive were used. I deleted the old partitions and it said there was 150GB of space left. (This is a test server). Once I had everything installed I found two partitions, sda1 and sda2. sda1 is a linux partition, sda2 is an LVM partition. Sda1 has all the basic server files I would expect to find. Sda2 in not accessable or mountable. I did an fdisk on sda2 and it showed an lvm as I expected. I deleted the partition and created a regular linux partition. When I try to mkfs this partition I get and error that it is a dos partition and in use by the system. I checked to see if it is mounted and its not.

This is strange behavior that I have never experienced before. Any ideas?

Tried a new install with 1 TB drive. When drive selected I changed the root from 18GB to 450GB. Still strange behavior without much explaination.

Active Directory

Can anyone give me a link to a good information source on how to use Fedora to replace a Windows Active Directory Server/Domain Controller. I have not found any definitive information on whether or not its even possible. I know Samba and FreeIPA seem to offer something like what I want. But I can't seem to find any simple information on what parts of Active Directory they support and what they don't. What I really would like it to provide is single login for my home without buying a Windows Server. I would like to join a domain like we do with windows, then use a central server to create users, like windows.

Thanks.

virt-viewer not as root?

Hi All,

I could not take Scientific Linux 7.4 (RHEL clone based on CentOS) anymore. It is just too gash darned buggy and so terribly out-of-date that it drove me insane. And nothing gets fixed as it is too out-of-date to get fixed. Anyway I wiped and re-installed Fedora Core 27. Oh my goodness what a change to have everything working well! And stable finally too! (RHEL is NOT more stable.)

Anyway, I use to communicate with my virtual machines (VM's) as a user with qemu-kvm as follows:
$ remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5900 --title "KVM-WinXP"

Now I must be root to view my VM's:
beesu "/usr/bin/virt-viewer KVM-W7"

Is there a way to do this without being "root" like I use to?

Many thanks,

I recently started playing with FreeIPA as a substitute for MS Active Directory. It seems to be just what I want. Installed the Server and Client with no issues. But when I try to log in as an IPA user on the client or server I get a blank screen on the client, or a "Password change failed. Server message: Old password not accepted" error.

Any help on how to trouble shoot would be appreciated.
