SELinux alert

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I do not how to deal wit this issue: in fc34 and fc36.

SELinux security alert recommend the following:

You need to change the label on /var/usermin/miniserv.pid
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/usermin/miniserv.pid'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: NetworkManager_etc_rw_t, 
NetworkManager_etc_t, NetworkManager_exec_t,
etc...
a long list of FILE_TYPE

Which one should I choose?

Thank

That doesn't appear to be an application that comes from a Fedora 
package.  Where did you get it from?  You should probably ask them about it.


Also, what is the full message you received?  You don't need to include 
the entire FILE_TYPE list.

You are right, it come from usermin

You need to change the label on /var/usermin/miniserv.pid
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/usermin/miniserv.pid'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: NetworkManager_etc_rw_t, 
NetworkManager_etc_t, NetworkManager_exec_t,
..
zoneminder_var_run_t, zos_remote_exec_t.
Then execute:
restorecon -v '/var/usermin/miniserv.pid'


The other recommendation is

SELinux is preventing systemd from read access on the file 
/var/usermin/miniserv.pid.

Plugin: catchall
 SELinux denied access requested by systemd. It is not expected that this access
is required by systemd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

If you believe that systemd should be allowed read access on the miniserv.pid 
file by default.
You should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'systemd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemd.pp

But running
ausearch -c 'systemd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemd
and
semodule -X 300 -i my-systemd.pp

does not help.

I use a very large and complex app with a Java GUI and heavy lifting
done by open source libraries for a huge range of file formats, GDAL,
and various numerical libraries.  There are silent background downloads
of "ancillary" files.  Reinstalling is often needed when it breaks --
probably due to a corrupt file.  There are
versions for Linux, macOS, and Windows, but I don't see any difference
across platforms so pretty sure there are glitches writing configuration
files.

I've seen many cases where users had started some GUI app from the
shell then done  in case they might want to come back to it, but
end up leaving it suspended for days.  Then they try to install an update
and the problems begin.

Re: gnuplot changed in 5.2->5.4 update

Since then, a simple plot with tics/labels on the left (y axis) are not anymore

It used to always do this by default, and it makes sense when reading values on 
the right.

I tried to play with the 'mirror' option to no avail.

Anyone knows how to restore the old behavior?


The matter was dealt with here
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72910591/

Executive summary: there was an intentional change in gnuplot.

Virtualization Recommendations?

[Sbob]

All;


I am frustrated with VMware, I am running Fedora35 and it refuses to 
compile since kernel 5.17.14-200.fc35.x86_64 so I am stuck running a 
kernel 3+ updates behind. At this point I have to exclude the kernel 
from any updates so the only kernel that VMware works with does not get 
removed.



Are there any other virtualization tools that would continue to work, or 
at least continue to work with more recent kernels? Is Xen an option? 
Are there others?



Thanks in advance

That's all.


I'd read it correctly, just was not at all the sure it was correct.
To be clear, by "reinstall", I meant reinstall Windows.

Rebooting is ordinary enough that I should have tried it without prompting.
That said, I do not know what when wrong in the first place,
so do not know how to avoid it.

I completely share your frustration. I run Windows 11 in a VM. I've 
looked into switching in the past but ran into all kinds of license 
issues for Windows and other tools. All the tools think I'm running 
everything on a different system. I tried to explain to Microsoft what I 
was doing -- no luck. Like talking to a brick wall.


I wrote up the patches for kernel 5.18. Check out 
https://medium.com/@allmanpc/vmware-workstation-player-16-2-and-linux-kernels-5-18-5cdc10a4d32a. 
It doesn't fix the larger problem but it would help to get around the 
immediate issue.

Agreed. It's also the only game in town if you want to do GPU pass-
through. On the downside, the documentation is spread out over a number
of different projects (QEMU+KVM+libvirt) and not focused on the
beginner. I think VirtualBox is much better in that respect.

And if you need 3D graphics in your Windows VM, you have to do GPU
pass through :-). (Unless various virtual 3D drivers for Windows
have made progress I haven't noticed).

If you're interested in running servers and don't need a gui or audio 
and ssh is good enough I'd recommend LXC.  Lightweight container system 
that shares the kernel and uses cgroups for resource limiting and 
isolation.  Can accept pass-thru devices and/or virtual devices.


I've been using LXC for years and it has never crashed although I have 
managed to crash a VM or two while experimenting :/


It doesn't do Windows.

It's been extremely rare that I need to use any documentation for it and 
only because I'm trying to do something unusual.  Normally, it just 
works with no problems.  Run virt-manager to get started.


There's also Gnome Boxes which might be a simpler way to start, but it's 
still the same VM system underneath.

Caja File manager hotkey idiosyncracy

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

When using the Caja file manager in xFce, if I shut it down using ctrl-W, 
I can restart it later.


However, if I shut it down using ctrl-SpaceBar, then (C)lose, I can't 
restart it.


Is this prevented by some "lock" file somewhere? Or something else?

tweak/startup application

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Before fc36, I could have the application gnome-terminal
starting automatically at login.
Now, this application is still visible in the list of 
Startup Applications,
but it does not work.
If I try to add a new application with tweak (at startup),
terminal, or gnome-terminal, does not show up (even by using search tool)
while /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
can be run manually.

What is going on?

Thank.

I often replace the app with a shell script that echoes stuff to
a file so I can see if it was actually started and what various environment
variables and path are set to. Of course, if the file isn't written,
then it isn't getting started at all and you don't learn much :-).

I had thoughts to replace Thunar with Caja here in XFCE, but I haven't
had time to do it yet... Now that I know there's a bug out there like
this one, I will wait it out on converting for now.

Greetings,

When using the Caja file manager in xFce, if I shut it down using
ctrl-W,
I can restart it later.

However, if I shut it down using ctrl-SpaceBar, then (C)lose, I can't
restart it.

Is this prevented by some "lock" file somewhere? Or something else?

Thank you,

p.s. it seems that Thunar has the same flaw, and once executed with 
alt-Spacebar, etc., neither will startup during a session.


fyi,

Just one example: using only the libvirt docs and virt-manager GUI
(which appears to be essentially
undocumented, https://virt-manager.org/ being largely useless), try
figuring out how to share files between host and guest. Compare this
with the instructions for VirtualBox.

I just use the same technique I'd use for a "real" machine: NFS or SMB :-).

dnf install virt-manager

?

qemu and virt-manager works fine for me. Win10 a bit sluggish, but is  
perfectly fine for my purposes.


I even got Win10 to work with UEFI and TPM emulation, when trying to update  
it to Win11. In the end I couldn't because of the CPU requirement, and I'm  
just too lazy to figure out how to hack around it.

Thanks for this. That is what I did too. It just seems terribly buggy.
Ive heard people saying this might work better on Xorg, is that maybe correct?

Well. Ive now tried, and using the 1920x1080 resolution does make everything 
look less defined, including fonts.

With no free space available it may treat the hardware as newly to install and

It was netinst. In the past I've found the installer for netinst gave me 
more control over the installation and I could then configure the system 
as desired. That no longer seems to be the case.

I often use the Everything netinst because it lets me configure things 
how I want.  I haven't had any problems with dual-boot or multiple 
drives.  However, you are doing something that is probably not going to 
work with the installer.  There is no support for having multiple Fedora 
instances on the same UEFI system.  (Besides you seem to also have some 
other issue regarding UEFI or legacy boot.)

Multiple drives is not the problem.  Your description is a little 
confusing.  You mention multiple drives, but then describe only one? 
It's not clear.  Which drive has the 17M reserved and rest ntfs?  
The new one?  Your initial drive with windows should have an efi 
partition.  That is what you should be assigning to /boot/efi. 
Anything else should be on the new drive, just delete any existing 
partitions first. The bios boot partition is strange because that 
suggests that you're not booting in UEFI mode.  Make sure your 
USB(?) boot is using that mode and not legacy. 


Specified only the target drive. Intended to be independent of the 
rest of the system.


Did you try letting the installer automatically create the partitions? 
(It won't actually modify the disk until you start the install.)


Booted from the system boot menu as a uefi usb. Expectation is that 
it is a uefi boot.


Then it shouldn't be wanting a biosboot partition.

If the efi partition on the windows disk is used what distinguishes 
the new OS from the existing Fedora 35?


I missed that part.  That will be difficult.  It will overwrite the 
UEFI boot entry of the other Fedora.
___ 


The installer does not show what it is doing with the drive. Only choice 
is "begin installation". Had to modify the drive to create some free 
space. The install then proceeded. Created a /boot/efi partition and 
/boot partition with the rest of the free space as a lvm2 pv. The system 
is in a a 16G logical volume. The install of grub2 picked up Windows 10 
and the Fedora 35 in grub2.cfg from the other drives. Filesystem is XFS.


Exploring the details.

That's the result I would expect.  If you send a non-native resolution
to the monitor, it will have to scale it.  It's difficult for a screen
to show something that doesn't match it's pixel count (CRTs were better
for that, as graphics pixels were never a 1:1 match for CRT pixels, the
electron beam scanned across them, and the screen naturally softened
things a bit).

But when it comes to things like fonts, if you generate them at the
size you want, for the native resolution of the whole system (graphics
card and monitor), that's always got to have the best results.

Things like images either scale reasonably well or rather badly, it
depends on their content.
