If your only experience is with the legacy CSM, it might be worth looking up how UEFI systems boot. The tl;dr story is that the system firmware has some variables that say where to look for EFI volumes, and it launches EFI executables from those volumes. No tiny boot sectors or second stage loaders, just EFI executables on a FAT32 filesystem. -- Jonathan Billings -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Thankfully, it looks like the version that was released in the Fedora 40 beta repos (v5.6.0) was compiled with a configure flag that prevented the backdoor from running, because the malicious code unintentionally caused Fedora’s QA process to reject the initial updated package (if I understand correctly). Upstream released a new version that allowed Fedora to build with the feature, it just didn’t make it in the beta freeze. Complete coincidence. Fedora has since reverted the xz packages to v5.4.6 in 40, so if you’re running the beta, you can `dnf downgrade xz*’ to get the older version, if it doesn’t automatically downgrade. We are pretty sure there are no other backdoors in xz or liblzma, but all the contributions by this author are getting heavy scrutiny. Some distros are even discussing reverting xz back until the version before the malicious co-maintainer joined the project, which will require significant effort. Major props to the Fedora team for handling this, and the security team at Red Hat who were involved with the discovery and investigation. We should also all thank Andres Freund for his meticulous discovery of the backdoor, without which, we might have ended up with it he backdoor running in production for many distros. -- Jonathan Billings -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

On any modern system that uses UEFI, you can just use “efibootmgr -n ” to temporarily set the next boot target to be the PXE boot entry (which has its own unique entry, replace with its number). Probably also worth deleting the existing entry to boot into Fedora at the same time. Wiping the partition table doesn’t always guarantee that the next boot will be PXE, which is why I liked to automate it specifically. No need to delete or wipe any bootloaders or partition tables, although it probably doesn’t hurt. I had a kickstart that preserved custom stuff like the krb5 keytab between reloads in the kickstart %pre section, so I didn’t want to just nuke the filesystem. -- Jonathan Billings -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

One of the security measures a that Wayland gives you is the limitations on the
ability of other apps sending (or reading) key press events in other apps
(including the desktop). This means that tools like xte and xdotool won’t work
except in XWayland apps.
There are tools like ydotool (https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool) but they
need direct access to /dev/input, which generally need root access (and if
every app can read it, it’s just as bad as X).
I suspect this is something a GNOME extension would replace, and not by sending
key presses but replicating the results.

This is the correct answer. “Castor” is your systems host name. Some home router/gateways will remember the hostname a system used as part of their network, and when handing out the same IP to a new host, re-uses the saved hostname. I’ve never encountered one of these devices, but I’ve heard of windows systems and even phones can do this.

Those numbers are based on public web servers running those distros, and there are a lot of caveats to even that breakdown, see the methodology of the research: https://w3techs.com/technologies While Fedora can and is used for web services (and is much more common in the cattle-not-pets style of container web services), a lot of the more traditional server practices requires a stable, unchanging web service platform which you see in RHEL and other LTS distros. It’s unlikely you’ll ever get good stats on desktop distro usage breakdown, if you consider how angry the community got when Fedora simply *proposed* tracking.

I think you’re confusing OpenSSH’s “sftp” with their “scp”, which calls the remote scp when it runs, and which it’s why it’s not considered secure and is often disabled. The local sftp client uses the SSH protocol to invoke the sftp subsystem on the remote sshd, which can be configured to either use an internal sftp server or call out to an “sftp-server” binary. You can also use ForceCommand to run that executable for certain users, essentially making it an sftp-only account. Either way, it’s going over the SSH port and all access is handled via the SSH’s config. -- Jonathan Billings -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Better to serve content out of /var/www or /srv. One thing that’ll interfere is that the httpd process might not have permission to read the files, and that you need to add the right UNIX groups to the files and directories.

There should be no password prompt at all. However, if you’ve removed the “nullok” from the pam_unix.so lines in /etc/pam.d (or Fedora has finally removed it in F40), accounts with a null password hash entry won’t be able to log in. I’m going to assume from here on that you actually are using a password. So, if you’ve used a rescue disk to boot into Linux, chroot into your OS’s disk, and run “passwd” to change a password, or otherwise edit /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd (or other files in /etc), you most likely need to fix the selinux labels of those files. Easiest way to do this is to run “touch /.autorelabel” before exiting the chroot, then rebooting. That will force the OS to check the selinux labels on all the files in your filesystem upon boot. It might take some time. Another solution is to boot with “enforcing=0” in the kernel arguments, and see if you can log in. If so, then you can manually run a relabel by running “sudo restorecon -R -v /etc”. -- Jonathan Billings -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

That won’t work for UEFI, you’d need to give a path to a UEFI executable on
hdX.
I believe you’d edit: /etc/grub.d/40_custom to add that to the final grub.cfg.

Is it possible that your Fedora 36 install was installed as a BIOS boot install, but you’ve booted the Fedora 40 installer as an EFI boot?

I know exactly what this is. I ran into it myself. Say hello to systemd: ProtectHome=read-only Do: systemctl edit httpd And add: [Service] ProtectHome=false This'll turn this whole thing off.That indeed was the fix. Thanks so much. That's crazy.Do you have any idea why this option isn't part of the systemd service file on the other systems I upgraded? The document root for the other systems uses/var/www, but they didn't have this problem, and their home directories are also defined with this path.I'll work on moving the logs out of the same general tree as the document root, but this seems like a big change. Maybe I missed it in the changelog?This change is largely because it protects user home directories from malicious httpd attacks against poorly written executable code that would allow remote login (such as dropping a pubkey into a user’s authorized_keys) or by altering an admin’s login environment (replacing their .bashrc).

I think it also wants a /boot partition in this case. It can be ext4. Make sure it is big enough for 3 kernels+initrds, at least 1G. I’ve not really explored the RAID install options so it might be that the type of RAID you chose can’t be mounted by GRUB.

I suggest switching to Fedora, since this is a Fedora mailing list, then at
least it’s on topic. 389-ds-base is part of RHEL, it’s not in EPEL.
Since you’re using RHEL, perhaps you can open a case with Red Hat to get help?
There is also a 389-users list, although I don’t know if it’s limited to Fedora
versions.

/dev/shm is a tmpfs filesystem. Anything placed there is wiped after shutdown.
It doesn’t exist on the disk.
Jack uses it for ephemeral files that only exist while it runs.
While it’s possible to use %ghost in the rpm spec for files to be owned by a
package but not included, this is probably not the right label for this kind of
file.
Rkhunter complains about anything it finds in /dev/shm.

The “btrfs-replace” command can be used to do this. I use it in automation to migrate a btrfs filesystem on an unencrypted volume to a luks volume. All on one disk. You do need to manually recreate the efi and boot partition, identify the UUID of the /boot partition so grub can find it, as well as the fstab. New fstab means new initrds.

How could that happen? I suspect I know why this happened. Do you have the "sdubby" or "systemd-boot-unsigned" package installed (which brings in sdubby)? The sdubby package installs an /etc/kernel/install.conf that tells the kernel-install script that runs in the kernel-core %post to install kernels and initrds in /boot/efi/$MACHINE_ID/. (Where $MACHINE_ID is from the contents of /etc/machine-id). This is something that systemd-boot uses, and I'm not sure why it happens, but some dependency seems to pull that package in for some people. Backing it out simply means you need to uninstall the sdubby package and re-run the kernel-install command, or more simply, reinstall the kernel-core package.

If you use the legacy bootloader, it remains the same, but any modern x86_64 hardware will use UEFI. So the grub.cfg is in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/, along with the .efi executable for grub (and a signed shim EFI executable, for Secure Boot). > It seems that there are 2 tools: bootctl, and efibootmgr bootctl is part of systemd-boot, which is a different bootloader than GRUB2. By default on Fedora x86, GRUB2 is used. The ‘efibootmgr’ tool is used to interact with the computer’s UEFI firmware. The firmware is what launches on boot, and it is configured with efibootmgr with what EFI executable to launch. You need a fat32-formatted partition with the EFI label, which has an /EFI directory at its root. All UEFI-compatible firmwares can read those volumes and look for EFI executables within. So you can put a CentOS, Ubuntu, or Microsoft executable (or all of them!) and configure boot entries for each. There is a BootOrder EFI firmware variable that stores the order in which it chooses what to boot, depending on which is available. There’s the BootCurrent variable, as you mentioned, which shows what was last used to boot, and a BootNext which you can use to (temporarily) boot next boot. > What are the files managed by these tools? All EFI variables are stored in the EFI firmware. Linux makes them available as files in /sys/firmware/efi/. **DO NOT MESS WITH THESE FILES OR DELETE THEM**. You can brick your hardware if you do so. Just use the efibootmgr tool to change things. Once grub is launched, it reads the grub.cfg in the EFI directory. Modern Fedora doesn’t change the grub.cfg anymore, it reads data out of /boot/loader/entries/, where a grub.cfg fragment exists for each kernel. Remember when I mentioned that the EFI was a fat32 filesystem? Turns out that it’s a pretty unreliable filesystem and if the computer makes changes to it and is unceremoniously powered off, it will have a dirty bit set and the OS can’t even mount it when you start back up, causing boot errors and dropping you into the rescue shell. By putting a static grub.cfg into the EFI volume and all the changing entries into /boot/loader/entries, you’re only writing to a volume that is a journaled ext4 or XFS volume, which can be easily recovered. I believe that’s why there was the change. > Which tool is run after an update of the kernel? /bin/kernel-install is run with a bunch of parameters. It handles detection of what bootloader (grub legacy vs grub efi) and adding all the correct entries and may call tools such as grubby.

If you see in the Fedora entry, it has: HD(3,GPT,a5c3bc11-e83b-48d0-be96-783af37228f1,0x2001800\ ,0xfa000)/File(\EFI\FEDORA\GRUBX64.EFI) That means to look for a volume with the 3rd GPT partition, with the UUID of a5c3bc11-e83b-48d0-be96-783af37228f1 (and some other data). On that disk, look for the /EFI/FEDORA/GRUBX64.EFI executable (remember, this is a DOS filesystem so it's case-insensitive). Run 'blkid' on a running system, and you'll see that the PARTUUID of the EFI volume matches the UUID in the above EFI entry. You can have an EFI volume on multiple disks. EFI also supports things like network boot, which has a different syntax EFI entry.

Running a graphical session as root violates a very basic UNIX principal of separation of access. Root is a special case user because it can (using normal UNIX permissions) access everything. Every bug that tricks a process into allowing it to get at unexpected resources is a bug that is even worse if you're running as root. For example, if you are using a file manager that creates thumbprint images for pictures in the directory it is viewing, any image-rendering exploit now can launch processes that can access everything, not just your user's data. Your web browser is one of the biggest vectors of attack on your computer. Now you've got poorly-secured javascript with the ability to read every file and read all process's memory. Fortunately, we have tools like SELinux that can contain what a service running as root can do, but if you're running your desktop session as root, it's largely uncontained. You're throwing much of the security the OS provides out the window. Windows learned this lesson too, which is why you don't log in and run as Administrator, and you need to get prompted to raise access level. Sure, there are plenty of people who still do it, and they get compromised that much easier. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

update-grub{,2} is a debian/ubuntu-ism, I believe. I typically use
grub2-mkconfig after modifying /etc/default/grub.
One thing I've noticed, if you've used grubby to add/modify kernel
arguments, on default Fedora configs, it modifies all the files in
/boot/loader/entries/*.conf to have hard-coded kernelopts. By
default, it uses $kernelopts which is defined in the default grub.cfg
but once grubby is run they're hard-coded in each entry file. So
running grub2-mkconfig doesn't do anything anymore. You might not
even realize you've used grubby, but packages like the rpmfusion
akmod-nvidia package runs it to add the blacklist kernel options.
Maybe this is a bug that has been fixed since I encountered it?

You are successfully logging in as those other users, but the login process is launching the users’ login shell, and when /bin/bash is executed, the login session returns: “/bin/bash: Permission denied”. Then the login session exits and you log out My first guess is that either /bin/bash’s permissions are broken, and root either uses a different shell or the permissions only allows root. The output of “rpm -V bash” should tell you what is wrong with the package.

What's going on here? As best I can understand, the default Flatpak remote that is installed is called fedora, which is defined as: [remote "fedora"] url=oci+https://registry.fedoraproject.org xa.title=Fedora xa.title-is-set=true So, the flatpak is being run from the Fedora docker/podman registry. I poked around in Koji, and it appears that the container is being built using the package build process with a special f32-flatpak-candidate build target. I didn't get too much more into it, but I think its safe to say, you should report flatpak issues on the audacity component. Hopefully the person in charge of it is even aware that it's being built as a flatpak. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Is this a BIOS limitation? I don’t think there’s any reason why you couldn’t boot via legacy to a GPT-labeled disk with GRUB installed. But if you are migrating, you could boot off the old disk with the nvme hardware attached, and set it up with a UEFI partition, a separate /boot partition, and the rest as LVM, and then migrate the data. Once you have the correct UUID of the non-LVM volumes updated in your fstab, and the grub2-efi-x86_64 package installed, you can give it a try to switch over. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

A LiveCD is basically a Fedora install with some stuff automatically starting once its booted, and potentially a different bootloader. It's not clear from what you've mentioned whether a standard Fedora install on a USB disk would help. Just booting from the LiveCD with additional kernel parameters would probably be sufficient to test your system. Can you not interact with the bootloader of the LiveCD? You could potentially edit the livecd image and change the default kernel parameters. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

You need to unmount the automounted volume and use the device (i.e. /dev/sdX ) that was mounted. You need to use the root device and not a partition.

Again, /run/media/bobg/4C60-B824 is not the block device. If it were a directory, you'd get an error immediately: dd: failed to open '/run/media/bobg/4C60-B824': Is a directory But, you didn't get that error, you just ran out of space, which makes me think that perhaps you didn't write to anything but a file in /run. Please write to the block device. It probably looks like something like /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, etc. Be sure you are writing to the flash drive and not, say, the disk where your OS lives.

No, since you moved the /nfs4exports directory, it is no longer there, so it would move the contents of /home/bobg/Public/nfs4exports/home/ into a directory called /nfs4exports/. So, if there was a /home/bobg/Public/nfs4exports/home/foo, it would now be /nfs4exports/foo.

It means your ssh port is open and you are constantly being scanned, so blocking ssh from everywhere except trusted networks would be ideal. DenyHosts used to just add to /etc/hosts.deny (hence the name) which isn’t used anymore by sshd. It looks like it supports iptables too, but it’s better to use fail2ban, which supports firewalld, uses ipsets or nftables, and is considerably faster. It supports reading the journal too so if you don’t want to use syslogd or send your log traffic off-host, it still works. Since you have vsftpd, it can also logs for it too. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Brendan Gregg has written several good talks and documents about various Linux performance measurement tools. You might want to see what the kernel is doing when you see sluggish behavior. http://brendangregg.com/linuxperf.html It does require some deep spelunking into the kernel internals, but it is actually quite amazing what the kernel has for monitoring its activities. I use it quite often to debug filesystem behavior, just poke around /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.8/trace/events.html From my experience, as an end user providing feedback, the kernel developers really like it when you can point out a particular syscall from the trace output that is misbehaving. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

In the picture you posted you have a qemu-kvm virtual machine running. It probably has one core and 4G of RAM associated with it.

According to this: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-f...@.service.html You can append fsck.mode=force to force a fsck on the next boot for all file systems. You could also use tune2fs to set the max mount count to 1, assuming ext4, and it’ll fsck it next time it tries to mount it.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'getting the standard partition scheme'. Are you talking about the install from the newly-written Fedora disk? Or the actual layout of partitions on the USB storage you just wrote? Fedora Media Writer doesn't do anything different than dd, it just writes the ISO to the disk. It doesn't change the partition scheme, it doesn't affect the install, it just puts the ISO image of the Fedora installer on the removable disk. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

It’s not a terrible idea to use sync. You absolutely should not be running dd to a device that is used in a mounted file system. It should be unmounted first. Then there is no risk of sync corrupting the disk. The ‘sync’ command flushes buffers to disk, and that’s not just for file systems. Depending on how dd was run, it’s possible that there are buffers in the kernel that haven’t been written. Just yanking the USB device out might result in missing data. You could include ‘conv=sync’ in your dd command if you want to ensure that everything is written, but it might not as fast, depending on the block size. I tend to just run ‘eject’ on the USB device, which also prompts the kernel to write the buffers to disk, but just for that device. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I apologize if we were confusing earlier, there is no connection between Media Writer and how a Fedora system has its partitions laid out. Fedora Media Writer writes ISO images to removable media such as a USB jump drive. Those ISO images are one file that contains a bootable installer. You can use Media Writer to write other ISO images to disk if you want, it is just a handy tool. You can skip using Media Writer and use 'dd' instead. I've heard people use 'pv' to write ISOs to disk. Once that image is written to your jump drive, THEN you can boot off that jump drive. It is within the OS installed on the jump drive where you can choose to partition your disk and install Fedora. I've seen several posts trying to explain that Media Writer doesn't affect your partitioning, but you continue to attribute partitioning to Media Writer, so I hope this explains things better. -- Jonathan Billings ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I have my NM dnsmasq refer a particular local subdomain to the dnsmasq that libvirt runs, so DNS names are automatically populated locally on my workstation. This lets me build VMs running Kerberos and OpenAFS servers with resolvable DNS entries.

It won't if systemd-resolved isn't configured to look at 127.0.0.1 (or wherever you have your NM dnsmasq listening). Check 'resolvectl' to check. In my case, it kept switching to the DNS entries that my wifi DHCP request got back, even though I had overridden it in NetworkManager.
