Strange directories auto-created in home folder
by Frédéric
I have installed a fresh F29 while keeping /home as it was from F28. I
am using the KDE Spin.
Empty directories with very strange names are created in home folders:
ls gives the following names:
# ls -1
'0'$'\306'
Bureau
Documents
Images
Modèles
Musique
'P'$'\334'
'p%'$'\373\331\325''U'
Public
Téléchargements
Vidéos
On another account I have:
# ls -1
'`'$'\327'
Bureau
Documents
Images
Modèles
Musique
Public
Téléchargements
Vidéos
What's that?

fcgid/mod_fcgi and suexec and permissions
by Alex
Hi,
How do I configure apache to allow PHP scripts write access to a
document root without compromising security?
I have a fedora29 system with php-7.2.13 and trying to get joomla
installed properly and having some trouble. I'm an experienced Linux
admin, but I'm not very familiar with php applications and how to
manage permissions of them. I don't entirely understand the
relationship between php, apache, and mod_fcgi. I fully understand how
filesystem permissions and ownership works.
I have all files at 644 and all directories at 755 in the document
root, owned by my ftpuser account. selinux is disabled because this
server does so much other stuff.
The problem is that joomla fails to run properly because the document
root isn't entirely owned by the apache user. What is the best method
for managing permissions with apache so we don't have to have all
files owned by the user which is running the apache process?
I'm also confused on the relationship between mod_fcgid, fpm-fcgi and
suexec. I've configured php-fpm and mod_fcgid according to this doc
(and others):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Apache_HTTP_Server#Using_php-fpm_and...
I've also set SuexecUserGroup to the user I'd like to use for ftp/sftp access:
SuexecUserGroup ftpuser ftpuser
but I don't understand how that ties in with the filesystem and
allowing apache to write the joomla files it needs, like the cache
directory and perform extension updates, while also allowing access to
the ftpuser to read and write the same files.
I believe I want to use mod_fcgi instead of loading PHP into apache
directly with mod_php. Do I need to create a wrapper script, or is one
already included with fedora?
It appears fedora is already loading php7_module with the php package.
Do I need to disable that prior to using mod_fcgid?

Failed to open device file /dev/tpm0: Permission denied

journalctl -f shows the following lines appearing in the log every five
seconds. Can anyone tell me whether this is important, and if so how to
fix it, and if not, how to stop this noise filling the journal up?

Enterprise Login in Gnome-Inital-Setup for F29 Workstation does not
support Free-IPA
by Alex Thomas
Testing using Fedora Desktops w/ FreeIPA server and found that
plugging in domain and username for my FreeIPA server resulted in
error of " Couldn't connect to the ipa.xxxxxxx.xxx domain: Cannot find
KDC for realm "IPA.XXXXXXX.XXX".
Since F29 no longer gives option to give password for root in
Anaconda.(Yet another follow the Ubuntu-ites, like getting rid of the
mail server instead of configuring it for local mail, and configuring
the first user to get get system mails in Evolution), I had to create
an account just to install freeipa-client.
So Fedora cannot connect to FreeIPA ( ie Redhat IdM) out of the box.
Seems to me that there is an issue here.

Ah! That's it. I must have missed that in the GNOME3 release notes.

I will definitely do that. Thanks, Hans!
I confirm that both the two-finger click and using tweaks work.
