Pulseaudio: Hardware Routing
by Frank Elsner 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

Hello, for reasons I have to send the input from an audio interface to an other. I can do this with pactl load-module module-loopback \ source="alsa_input.usb-Burr-Brown_from_TI_USB_Audio_CODEC-00.analog-stereo" \ sink="alsa_output.usb-M-AUDIO_M-Track_Hub-00.analog-stereo" and this works as desired. Currently I have to issue this command (realized as procedure) after each login. I want a permanent solution. Where to place this command? Or is there an other permant solution beside this command? BTW, rc.local doesnt't work. Any pointer welcome. Kind regards, Frank

Fedora on a NUC?
by Temlakos 09 Jul '17

09 Jul '17

Everyone: Does anyone have experience with installing Fedora on a NUC? In case anyone here doesn't know what a NUC is: it happens to stand for Next Unit of Computing. It is a 5.4 x 4.9 x 4.5-/inch/ box having the minimal number of components to support desktop functions. You equip it with your own hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc., and can drive up to a 4K Ultra-style monitor. Some people use its VESA mount to mount it on the back of their TV. Result: instant smart TV--smarter than any TV in the store, because it can handle word processing and regular Web apps in addition to video and audio streaming. Word is that it normally ships with Windows 10, but can support any number of distributions of Linux. I want to know whether Fedora is one of them. It sounds like the ideal small office/media lab/home theater solution. Pair it with a good NAS and you have all the computing power you need, with a fraction of the physical--and carbon--footprint. Comments? Suggestions? Success stories? Horror stories? Temlakos

gnome-password-generator will not be available in the Fedora repos for F26 and later. Do the repos contain a good replacement?

DWA-192 Driver no Longer Compiles After Maintenance Update in F25
by Stephen Morris 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi, I am using a DWA-192 usb WiFi adapter in F25 hence I need to get a driver from github to be compiled on my system so that I can use the adapter. This driver compiled and worked quite happily with kernel 4.9.9, not that the kernel version is necessarily an indicator of compile success. It had been a month or more since I had apply any system updates, so I did so two days ago, which as part of the update updated the kernel to 4.11.5, and when dkms went to compile the driver for the new kernel the compile failed with error messages about implicit function definitions and messages about warnings having been converted to errors. I tried doing a search on the net for a DWA-192 driver and got a link to github to a driver version that seemed to be the same version as the driver I already had, but I downloaded it anyway and did a manual compile of that but it failed to compile with the same errors. Does anyone know if there is an updated driver that will compile with the current level of F25 or whether it has yet to be updated for compatibility with F25 and hence I will need to continue to use Ethernet internet access? regards, Steve

Is there a way to stop ipv6 leakage without turning off ipv6?
by William Oliver 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

I'm using Fedora 25 on an HP laptop with KDE. I commonly use a VPN service, but it leaks ipv6 addresses. This seems to be a common problem with VPN and ipv6, from what I've read on the internet. So, I've turned off ipv6 for my wireless interface, and that seems to solve the problem. However, I just can't help but think that this will eventually cause a problem somewhere. Is there a better solution for ipv6 leakage with a vpn on Fedora 25 other than just turning it off? Thanks, billo

attempts to hack in?
by William Mattison 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Good afternoon, (f25 home workstation) While looking at journalctl output yesterday and today for other reasons (separate thread), I saw many "authentication failure" messages, over half also saying "user=root". I also saw many "password check failed for user (root)" messages. I saw many unknown user login attempts, and a few invalid user login attempts, and some attempts using one of the valid regular user names. Why? I am not yet good at reading journalctl output, so I don't know if these connection attempts are coming from "outside" or within this system. I don't know if I should be concerned or not. I do not intend anyone or anything to be able to get in to this system except for things that I initiate (examples: Firefox activity, Thunderbird activity, "dnf upgrade", installs, etc.). And it doesn't make sense to me that any of those would be trying to log in to this system to do what I want. I also don't see why anything on this system would try to log in to this same system except me personally (su, sudo, and actual logins). I am the only actual user. What's going on? How do I determine where they're coming from? Is there really someone or something trying to hack in? If no, what really is going on? Most important, How do I prevent connections from outside? thanks, Bill.

Screensaver Anomaly in F25
by Craig Lanning 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

I did an upgrade from F24 to F25. Everything seems to be working fine. I use xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver with a Gnome desktop. I have noticed that the timer for the screensaver is not being reset when I type or use the mouse. I can be using the machine and the screensaver will activate and then deactivate (since I'm typing or using the mouse). Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior? Is this something with xscreensaver or is the timer reset somewhere else? Craig

CIA Outlaw Country attack against CentOS / Rhel (and Fedora?) Is this credible?
by stan 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Wikileaks released a document about an attack against CentOS / Rhel. https://wikileaks.org/vault7/#OutlawCountry Here's the text, there are some docs there also. OutlawCountry 29 June, 2017 Today, June 29th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the OutlawCountry project of the CIA that targets computers running the Linux operating system. OutlawCountry allows for the redirection of all outbound network traffic on the target computer to CIA controlled machines for ex- and infiltration purposes. The malware consists of a kernel module that creates a hidden netfilter table on a Linux target; with knowledge of the table name, an operator can create rules that take precedence over existing netfilter/iptables rules and are concealed from an user or even system administrator. The installation and persistence method of the malware is not described in detail in the document; an operator will have to rely on the available CIA exploits and backdoors to inject the kernel module into a target operating system. OutlawCountry v1.0 contains one kernel module for 64-bit CentOS/RHEL 6.x; this module will only work with default kernels. Also, OutlawCountry v1.0 only supports adding covert DNAT rules to the PREROUTING chain. My first take is that this doesn't represent a very serious threat. Do you disagree?
