setting up wpa2 wireless
by bruce
Hi.
looking to setup/test wifi/wpa2 for uverse
Configured the uverse device. Using the basic default settings with a
diff test network name/password
On the test client. I've manually set the ip address. I'm looking at
different sites to see how/if I need to do anything for the "routes"
any pointers/sites to look at would be helpful.
thanks

Security context for Apache
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I've set up a simple web server for private use (though I will enable
https access from outside the network), but I want some of the content
to be outside the default /var/www/html tree. When I do this, I get
file access errors when SElinux is enabled, but not when I set
'setenforcing=0'.
I'd prefer to use SElinux as intended, so what do I need to do?

VDQ mate terminal (F37)
by Beartooth
I must be getting more senile than I thought. I've lost the little
row of words on the top border of my mate-terminal (under F37, if it
matters) "File Edit View Search ... etc" and I can't find where to
turn it back on. <whimper, sniff>

Virtual Machine Network Connection Confusion
by Robert McBroom
Fedora 37 with four qemu/kvm virtual machines. Trying to get internet
access from the vm's. Found some advice about using systemd-networkd
instead of NetworkManager. Lost internet connection with the host.
Restored with NetworkManager. Further research on NetworkManager gets
into a tangle with ifcfg scripts and the apparent migration to keyfiles.
Totally confused.
Can only start the virtual machines if the network device is removed.
----------
VM centos8 failed to start
Requested operation is not valid: network 'default' is not active
---------
From cockpit on the web interface tried some of the options with bond
looking like a possibility

Advice?

Where is the magic SysReq key?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have a Logitech MX series wireless keyboard, and no keys are labelled
as SysRq or PrtScr. Is there a way to configure a different sequence
for the magic SysRq function? The man pages are not helpful.

update-linux command automates Fedora updates
by Barry Scott
I have released a tool that I have been using for a number of years to
maintain my Fedora systems.
https://pypi.org/project/update-linux/2.0.0/
This tool allows you to update all your Fedora systems easily:
$ update-linux host1 host2
Or check if there are updates available:
$ update-linux --check host4 host5
It also handles system upgrades:
$ update-linux --system-upgrade=37 host3
It can be configured with named groups of hosts to avoid the need to
type long lists of host names.

Sending messages to all users
by Robert Nichols
Now that gnome-terminal (also mate-terminal, etc) no longer registers as a login session, what is the mechanism for sending messages to logged-in users? This is fairly important for shutdown, "UPS on bettery", etc. messages. The "wall" command does send a message to plain console sessions (Alt-Fn consoles), but the message does not reach GUI users whether or not a terminal emulator session is active, even with a terminal session started with the "Run command as a login shell" option selected.
