dnf update question
by David
I use the following command to update
$ sudo dnf update & flatpak update
Is there a better way to do this. Does anyone have a script or alias
thing
that does all that with just sudo dufu or something simple ?
I am aware, that all I have to do is hit the up arrow key, and it will type
the
last used commands. I think all Linux commands in all distros do that.
Right ?

What download image for i686
by Fulko Hew
I recently acquired an old HP Mini 110 with an Intel Atom N270 CPU.
Trying my default Fedora install told me it couldn't boot the X86_64
version, so I guess I need an i686 version.
Scouring getfedora.org and archives.fedoraproject.org, I don't see one.
I thought F30 still worked on 32 bit.
Where can I find the most recent (KDE) version that can still boot on it?
Thanks.

Where has access to windows workgroups gone?
by Robert McBroom
caja, dolphin, konqueror, thunar and nautilus all fail to connect to the
windows systems on the local network. I can connect with smbclient and
cifs in a terminal but that doesn't allow the full capability of click
and drag to move files and examine them.
Is athere something I am missing tahat will restore the functionality?

Any one have luck putting Fedora on a Beaglebone Black?
by Richard Shaw
So yeah, it's older but I got it for free and wanted to see if I could use
it. From what I can tell the armv7 images should work on it.
arm-image-installer does some extra "magic" for the am355x processor but it
won't boot it. If I hold down the button while I plug it in, nothing
happens. No indicator lights at all.
I've been able to boot the Debian image from SD and got it written to the
internal eMMC. Actually the Cloud9 platform preinstalled is pretty nice.
But I'd still like to put Fedora on it :)
Thanks,
Richard

selinux issues -- for test system/httpd user access
by bruce
Hey list!
1st, thanks to all the help I've gotten over time from the list. Stay safe
everyone!!
I'm finally jumping into deploying selinux on a test system.
My use case:
To create a test local VM
To fire up httpd/mysql on the VM
To create a couple of test users on the VM
Create a test static website under /var/www/html/cat
using index.html
aa.php
I've already got the VM, test users, httpd, etc.. And things run with
selinux disabled.
Now it's time to take the jump, and engage selinux!
My selinux needs:
to setup selinux attributes/security to allow apache/httpd
to run correctly
to allow the httpd to handle/process the index.html
to allow the httpd to handle/process the aa.php
also, say I create test user 'bob'
'bob' will have a dir /home/bob
I want 'bob' to be able to create/edit files,
and to be able to copy files, to read/write/delete
files into the /var/www/html/cat dir structure
I've looked through numerous docs/sites and see a bunch of stuff.
But I really don't want to screw this up, given that I realize that
messing this up can be painful to try to figure out what I did
wrong.
So:
I'm trying to figure out what I need to do for selinux for the
user 'bob'
I'm trying to figure out what I need to do for selinux for the
apache/httpd process
Trying to understand what I need to do to allow user 'bob'
access to change the /var/www/html/cat dirs..
Thoughts/Comments are more than welcome
ps:
Once I get the basic above things working, I'll be expanding
to handle mysql processes, as well as allowing external
dev/test servers to update the 'prod' system.

Where can I find a good and reliable ranking of all the Linux distros in the world then?
What are the top 5?
Sorry, but there aint, and probably wont ever, be such a thing.
I know of people who downloaded an image, and subsequently installed it over 100,000 times. No one will ever know about such schemes.
Only the use of Distro's with commercial support (RHEL, SLES, Canononical) will know how much their product is been used, and they are unlikely to tell.

Tip: experimenting with servers
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
If you are getting into servers, here is a tip.
Install qemu-kvm and those OS'es as virtual machines
you are targeting as clients. You can set up your
own mini network to learn and configure things.
I get away with three virtual machines running at
the same time on my system before it bogs down.

Inkscape 1.0 rc1
by David
For your information,
Flathub, is still on the old version, 92.4, as far as I can tell.
Fedora flatpak project has 1.0 beta 2 version.
Rawhide has the new 1.0 rc1 and I just now installed it natively. The
dependencies
appear to all be the same as in the Version 32 directory, except for
"graphviz." which
has a slightly newer point-release in Rawhide.
The link below is just a simple word-art using the rc1 of Inkscape 1.0.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l2esdhucaa37a24/inkscape%201dot0rc1.png?dl=0
I am sure all that info above will change quickly in the coming weeks.

FC31 : Virtual Machine Manager creates unsupported config

I'm trying to create a small virtual guest for debian using Virtual
Machine Manager. I accept all the defaults, but:
Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: 'directory'
storage format is not directly supported by QEMU, use 'dir' disk type
instead'
Traceback (most recent call last):

The virt io tab shows storage format as "dir". I can't figure out the
location of the actual xml file that VMM creates. Sigh.
Any help appreciated.

nfs vs samba
by bruce
Hi
Not a flame war. I'm going to have a use case, where I spin up a lot of
cloud VM. The worker VM does some work, and then returns the resulting
work/files to a single VM. I'm looking at doing a NFS/Samba server for the
storage VM. Any thoughts one way or the other.
The storage VM will be accessible from the client VMs. I'm assuming the
client VM would mount the storage VM, and do some sort of write to the
device.
The overall process would also have to employ selinux on both the client,
as well as the storage VM.
Thoughts/Comments??
thanks
