as to information of what the extension pack provides

Partially, from the page...

Extension packs. Additional extension packs can be downloaded which extend the 
functionality of the Oracle VM VirtualBox base package. Currently, Oracle 
provides a single extension pack, available from: http://www.virtualbox.org. 
The extension pack provides the following added functionality:

The virtual USB 2.0 (EHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB Settings”.

The virtual USB 3.0 (xHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB Settings”.

I gave up on the GUI after they "fixed" it to be more modern

from command line.
If you are using KDE you could install KUser which provides a gui 
interface to maintaining users. One issue with this tool is it seems to 
require the root user password, not a password associated with sudo, 
hence you potentially need to have set up a root password.

Sane Scanner Resolution Configuration

[Stephen Morris]

Hi,
    Having installed imagescan from Epson, and installed sane and 
xsane, and edited the imagescan config file to specify the network 
settings of my printer all-in-one, I now have xsane finding my scanner, 
but this has highlighted a problem.
    Having run xsane it has created Epson:ET-3700.drc in path 
~/.sane/xsane, which contains all the options used by xsane for 
scanning. Two of the options are for the horizontal and vertical scan 
resolution, which by default are set to 75. These options are reflected 
in the xsane gui, but they are disabled so I can't alter them from the 
gui, I have to edit the config file and specify the resolution I want in 
there.
    Where can I find documentation on the format of that xsane config 
file, that would tell me how I get the list of resolutions the scanner 
supports into that config file so that they are selectable by a dropdown 
in the xsane gui?


regards,
Steve

Odd

But anyway, VirtualBox 5.0.40 is rather old.  From 2017, and no longer 
supported.

F32 nftables hiccups

[ja]

I have been attempting to use nft/nftables
to blacklist ssh connections and have come across
two problems.

nftables-0.9.3-3.fc32.x86_64
kernel-5.7.8-200.fc32.x86_64

1. The "limit rate" syntax does not work correctly unless
   the "burst" value is set.
   counter add @saddr_rate { ip saddr timeout 2m limit rate over 4/minute burst 
1 packets} counter \
   update @saddr_blacklist { ip saddr timeout 10m } counter drop

2. The following syntax is not accepted by nft
   update @connection_count { ip saddr ct count over 3 } \
   add @saddr_blacklist { ip  saddr timeout 1m } drop

nft_harting.nft:80:3-52: Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported
update @connection_count { ip saddr ct count over 3 } \
^^

I have been following a Debian mail list (amongst many)
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/581964/create-dynamic-blacklist-with-nftables/582290#582290
which implies that both of the above should work with the kernel/nft F32 
versions installed.

I attach the output of nft list ruleset
(with the offending rule "{ ip saddr ct count over 3 }" commented out)
(It includes the "set" definitions used above)

Can anyone see any deliberate mistakes?

My XSane ver 0.999 allows changing the resolution
by selecting the dropdown on the main screen and
selecting 75, 150, 300, 600, etc.

So I check it out:

I was under the impression that the xdg-document-portal only launched
via dbus when running a graphical session.  Are you logging into a
graphical session as root?

Absolutely not. Never have. I occasionally use ssh to run emacs as root
so I can edit system config files, but that's pretty much it.

Printing failure -

[Bob Goodwin]

Earlier today I discovered that I could not print from this Fedora 32. 
It has always printed without a problem. The printer is Ethernet 
connected to my LAN. I have gone through the setup with cups, the 
fedora/gnome admin app, and now the Brother liinux install tool.


Cups shows:
HLL5100DN    HLL5100DN   
	Brother HLL5100DN for CUPS 	Paused - "could not create directory 
"/root/BRF": Permission denied"



The Brother install tool quits when it tries to make a test print and 
finds it can't see the printer:


lpadmin -p HLL5100DN -v cups-brf:/ -E
Test Print? [y/N] ->y

wait 5s.
lpr -P HLL5100DN /usr/share/cups/data/testprint
ls: cannot access '/etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules': No such file or directory
Hit Enter/Return key.

I began writing this yesterday, this morning we tried and were able to 
print from a Mac portable via wifi so that says the printer works at 
least. Something is corrupted in my computer it appears?


And doing "ctrl p" fails with:


Cups shows:
HLL5100DN    HLL5100DN   
	Brother HLL5100DN for CUPS 	Paused - "could not create directory 
"/root/BRF": Permission denied"

finds it can't see the printer:


lpadmin -p HLL5100DN -v cups-brf:/ -E
Test Print? [y/N] ->y


Any thoughts on what to do?            Bob

But it is a "bad thing"(TM) to disable selinux. selinux should be
producing alerts, which  you could use to fix or at least "solve"
the problem without totally disabling it.

Has it ever worked in Fedora 32?  There was a bug where mDNS was
removed from nsswitch.conf when I upgraded to F32 that broke printing
for me until I added it back.

1. Boot liveCD USB on PC that likes the Live CD.
2. Use that LiveCD to install to a differenet UCB stick

Thanks for the other suggestions. For background:

The PC that LiveCD fails on has an existing Fedora installation
that dual boots with Windows 10. The Fedora was install about 5 years
ago. Somewhere in last 3 or 4 Fedora releases Live CD started to fail.

The Live CD gets into systemd and is happily starting serrvices.
It hits "Monitoring for LVM2 mirrors" and hangs. I've waited for over an
hour just in case it pops out.

So its not BIOS the mahine can boot the USB stick and get into systemd.
I'm not aware of kernel options that will help with debugging the hang.

But I know I can debug this if I have a USB stick that I can edit to add in
debug code to the systemd unit that is hanging. Hence the the question.

Re: Create bootable disk with fedora - but not using live-CD

[Earl Terwilliger via users]

I have the same problem when I create a usb stick of Fedora 32 but only on
some newer machines.

I don't think it is a bug but this shows how to fix it:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1768498

Had to access the stick offline on another machine, then , I edited the
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf file and changed these two parms to these values:

  external_device_info_source = "udev"
  fw_raid_component_detection = 1

it now boots fine on all the machines (one that hung on the Monitoring LVM
and ones that did not)

I have Centos-7 on a little acer netbook, with the brother drivers for
our DCP-7065. Every once in a while it stops working (with no errors
that I've found). when that happens I remove the drivers and reinstall
and we're good again. I'm guessing that something that comes down in an
update clobbers something that Brother's installer changed.

I got my Brother DCP-L2550DW while I had F31. After I upgraded to F32 I 
realized I could not print, tho the printer still showed up as being there. The 
note that I wrote while fixing it is now in my "howto upgrade my Fedora" 
notes...


Had to re-install Brother printer stuff:
cd /home/doug/download/installed/Brother-printer
sudo ./uninstaller_brscan4
sudo ./uninstaller_brscan-skey
sudo ./uninstaller_DCPL2550DW

sudo ./linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1
Input model name ->DCP-L2550DW
OK? [y/N] ->y
Will you specify the Device URI? [Y/n] ->Y
13 (I): Specify IP address.
select the number of destination Device URI. ->13
 enter IP address ->192.168.100.152
Test Print? [y/N] ->y

Test was good.

Well, looking at this thread, Kevin mentioned"

"There was a bug where mDNS was removed from nsswitch.conf when I upgraded to 
F32 that broke printing for me until I added it back."

Have you added it back after working on the samba issue?

grep ^host /etc/nsswitch.conf

It is *not* there

Go back and edit /etc/authselect/user-nsswitch.conf and then run "authselect 
apply-changes"

You want /etc/authselect/user-nsswitch.conf to contain

hosts:  files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname

Assuming that it's supported by the OS running podman, I believe you can 
mount the device node inside the container using the --volume option.

OK, and do verify that the changes were made to /etc/nsswitch.conf.  Just 
because paranoia is
at times not a bad thing.  :-) :-)

Thanks Mike, that's interesting, my Xsane ver 0.999 doesn't provide the 
same functionality. Where your gui has the resolution dropdown to let 
you select between the supported resolutions, my gui has two entries, a 
horizontal resolution and a vertical resolution, and both of them are 
disabled, so that the only way to change it is to manually changed the 
corresponding two lines in the configuration file. I'm now wondering 
whether the Epson driver is having an impact, as in order to see and use 
the Epson scanner xsane seems to be using the settings I put in the 
config file created by the install of Epson's imagescan software.
Are you able to supply the config file, or the resolution part of the 
config file, for your scanner, which if it is stored in the same 
location as it is for me, is in ~/.sane/xsane? I just wanted to see how 
it is set up for you and whether or not I can replicate that in my 
configuration.

Hi,
    Having installed imagescan from Epson, and installed sane and 
xsane, and edited the imagescan config file to specify the network 
settings of my printer all-in-one, I now have xsane finding my 
scanner, but this has highlighted a problem.
    Having run xsane it has created Epson:ET-3700.drc in path 
~/.sane/xsane, which contains all the options used by xsane for 
scanning. Two of the options are for the horizontal and vertical scan 
resolution, which by default are set to 75. These options are 
reflected in the xsane gui, but they are disabled so I can't alter 
them from the gui, I have to edit the config file and specify the 
resolution I want in there.
    Where can I find documentation on the format of that xsane config 
file, that would tell me how I get the list of resolutions the 
scanner supports into that config file so that they are selectable by 
a dropdown in the xsane gui?

Steve
