Panel Problem
by Joe Zeff
I'm using Fedora 31, Xfce 4.14 and Compiz and am not in a position to
upgrade right now. My preference is to have one panel, at the bottom of
the screen, but suddenly that panel moved up until the bottom was where
the top should be. Restarting Compiz didn't help, nor did logging out
and back in without saving the configuration. Trying to go back to an
earlier setting just gave me a full top panel and a short bottom one.
I've managed to remove the bottom one but I can't find out how to get
that remaining panel back where it belongs. Does anybody know what
happened or how to correct it? And yes, the panel is unlocked.

condor
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I am trying to run condor to subgmit jobs in batch
I first run
systemctl start condor.service
but I get
SElinux security alert
SELinux is preventing condor_master from getattr access on the filesystem /sys/fs/cgroup.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
If you believe that condor_master should be allowed getattr access on the cgroup filesystem by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'condor_master' --raw | audit2allow -M my-condormaster
# semodule -X 300 -i my-condormaster.pp

EFI shell?
by Tom Horsley
I recently got a new mini PC that is UEFI only. Out of curiosity
I started reading about the EFI shell. I now have only one
question: Would any "ordinary" user ever have any reason to
use the EFI shell? (Secondary question: Would he be able to
anyway?)
Trying to decrypt the things I read I got the impression that
the first thing they did was invent all new jargon to prove
it is nothing like BIOS, then write cryptic descriptions of things
you can't understand without first learning all the new jargon :-).

Webcam not recognized
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I have an HD Pro Webcam C920 which has stopped working on my main
system (amito), which doesn't recognize it and disconnects. I have
another system (oaklandweather), which does recognize it and remains
connected. Attached are the relevant extracts from the two system
logs, starting at the time the camera was plugged into a USB socket;
each extract is preceded by system info. Can anyone tell me what is
going on and how to get the camera working?
The most important difference between the two systems is that amito
runs X11 but oaklandweather runs Wayland. Otherwise they look very
similar, except for the hardware.

openvpn-client@nbecker8 won't start
by Neal Becker
I had a drive crash on a server running F34. After replacing the
drive and installing F35, I can't get openvpn-client@nbecker8 to
start. journalctl says:
Dec 21 11:26:14 nbecker8 openvpn[80875]: Options error: In
[CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file:
/etc/openvpn/client/nbecker8.conf
The file is there, and I don't see how there might be a permissions
issue (I even tried chmod 755 /etc/openvpn/client). All the files in
/etc/openvpn are root.openvpn.
I'm stumped how to debug this.
If I run opevpn --config /etc/openvpn/client/nbecker8.conf, it works.
Any ideas what's wrong or how to debug?
Thanks,
Neal

NAS purchase advice
by Walter Cazzola
Dear Fedoers,
I'm planning to buy a NAS to backup my Linux boxes. I've spent few days at
looking for it on the Internet but I've some hard time to find a NAS that fits
my needs.
I intend to use it both the backup my data but also to keep consistent the
data on several linux-boxes. That is, the data are changed on one machine
(incrementally) back-upped and then restored from another one and vice versa.
As an inexperienced user, the characteristics I've pointed out are:
- ethernet based NAS optionally with wake-on lan (ie., the capability of
being turned on by a signal over the internet)
- Linux compliant ie.,
- it should be formatted in ext3/4 or other *nix file system to maintain all
the linux file details such as access rights, attributes, links, name
lengths/characters, ...
- rsync should be a viable solution to update/restore the backup
- files should be accessible over the internet possibly via ssh, https, or
mount over the internet
- possibility to create multiple partitions, possibly also with multiple
file systems.
- RAID 5 or better the supported replicated storage should be at least 5TB
- optionally I would also like to have some way to limit/control/monitor
the accesses from the external, eg., via firewall (it will be on a
intranet and I can put a firewall on the modem but it would be nice to
have some extra control over security and privacy)
I do not have a net preference between mechanical and optical storage even
if I suppose that given the same storage size mechanical solutions are cheaper
and optical ones are faster. Probably cheaper (especially when associated with
more reliable) is better than faster.
From your experience do you have some brand/model to suggest? Or something
that I should consider that I didn't list?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Walter
