VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom
I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora
firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site.
That site will be the place I present services to the world;
httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers"
and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net;
if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the
colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address,
and I am not opening any inbound ports.
There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive
are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html )
and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that
one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have
simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth,
and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the
main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail.
Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is
there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to
break with FC1 or FC2?

F30: latest kernel no external monitor
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
executed "dnf update" after about 15 days of inactivity.
Updates has brought in kernel 5.2.8-200.fc30.x86_64
But after reboot the system is not able to detect (in the sense of no
monitor connection at all seen) when connecting a 24" Dell monitor using an
usb-c to hdmi adapter on my laptop and then connecting an HDMI-to-dvi cable
to the monitor, that I normally used before.
Tried to reboot two times without effect.
As soon as I restart with previous kernel 5.1.20-300.fc30.x86_64, external
monitor detection and usage is ok again.
This is in default Gnome environment and Wayland.
Eg in gnome terminal I have:
$ loginctl show-session 2 -p Type
Type=wayland
and
$ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
wayland-0
Anyone else with similar problems?
If you point me on how to get related log lines in journal in both working
and not working configurations, I can get more info.
Seen on several threads that with Xwayland and gnome-shell not so easy to
see startup log files...
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

Notifications
by Danishka Navin
Hi,
Imagine no user logged in to neither GUI nor CLI but a background service
is running.
Is it possible to send a notification to GUI after completion of the
processing running on the background?
I have checked notify-send but could not find such a specific example.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

grub regression in f30
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I have an nvidia graphic card and since at least f27 I had a high
resolution (1280x1024) on the console screen during the boot. This is no
more the case in f30. Why?
I use the nvidia driver from rpm-fusion, nouveau does not work with my card.
Thank you.

pip and python version
by Robert Moskowitz
I am getting dreadful warnings about my version of python when I run
pip. So I asked about this with the developers of the script I use
(xml2rfc). I bit of version testing and:
$ pip --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)
$ pip2 --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)
$ pip3 --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)
and
$ ls -ls /usr/bin/pip*
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-2 -> ./pip-2.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip2
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-2.7 -> ./pip2.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip2.7
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-3 -> ./pip-3.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip3
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip-3.7 -> ./pip3.7
4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Jul 17 04:23 /usr/bin/pip3.7
24 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 22816 Jun 19 10:44 /usr/bin/pipewire
so pip does not seem to be a symlink to pip2, but perhaps just a copy?
I suspect I will still be running F30 come Jan 2020 when Python 2.7 gets
the axe:
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st,
2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after
that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.
Do I need to do anything, or will this be self-correcting come the new year?
thanks

General protection fault involving flash
by Andre Robatino
The Citi.com credit card website allows generating virtual card numbers, but unfortunately they're using flash in that part of the site. When I try to use it in F30, on one particular machine (it's hardware-specific), in GNOME (it doesn't happen in MATE), the Firefox tab crashes and I get a general protection fault, for example
[88812.835817] traps: Web Content[2532] general protection fault ip:7f94ee0d0adb sp:7ffedd6a3140 error:0 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f94ee0aa000+8e000]
Since flash is involved, it's not clear whether this is the fault of Fedora or flash. This has been happening for around half a year, so flash has been updated several times. It also happened with F29. Anyone know how to narrow down where the issue is?

How do I generate grub for legacy?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I have a Fedora 30 flash drive set up for dual booting
from Legacy or UEFI. It boots beautifully from UEFI.
(It also have a bios_grub partition).
It booted perfectly from both under Fedora 29.
Now when booting from legacy, it go into "System Setup".
If you press system Setup, I get a "/grub/core-system"
type error
Remaking grub.cfg, I get
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...
Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
done
Uhhhhh.. I wanted legacy, not EFI.
What am I missing?
Many thanks,
-T

UEFI.BIOS.Dual.Boot.txt:

https://forum.level1techs.com/t/configure-grub-to-boot-legacy-and-uefi/12...
Requirements:
Fedora 29
Before installing, gparted:
Wipe the target disk
create a partition table as GPT
create a first partition as
1 Meg
unformatted
set the partition flag to "bios_grub"
Install Fedora 29 from a UEFI machine:
"/home" was removed at installation and moved into "/"
--->>> PRESUMED !!! <<<---
The machine was install and booted from UEFI
The machine is mounted as /dev/sda
Install the legacy BIOS boot loader:
Boot into fedora on UEFI
only installs 3 files
# dnf reinstall grub2-pc
create the BIOS .cfg file
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Note: if this complains, you forgot to create the partition above
# grub2-install --removable --recheck --target=i386-pc
--boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda

SELinux label problem on a VM
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have a small F29 Server VM (KVM/QEMU) which has not changed recently
and has worked consistently for several months. Now when I try to boot
it I get:
Requested operation is not valid: Setting different SELinux label on /home/poc/VM/vm-f29b.qcow2 which is already in use
I haven't touched any SElinux settings, though I do update my host F30
system on a daily basis so something may have changed.
The current context for that file is:
$ ls -lZ vm-f29b.qcow2
-rw-------. 1 qemu qemu system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c467,c977 21478375424 Aug 11 11:14 vm-f29b.qcow2
Any thoughts on what I should look at?
