If X11 login goes, what happens with x2go?

by Neal Becker

I totally depend on x2go for connection to my remote server. With f40, what happens? Is login to X11 desktop supported? I assume this is required for x2go to work.

HP elitedesk 705 G1 mt will not boot from dvd

by Michael Hennebry

I've been trying to get an HP elitedesk 705 G1 mt to boot from dvd. So far no luck. I've managed to get DVD listed as the first boot entry for both UEFI and legacy. The machine seems to try and fail. The error messages go by rather fast. I think I've seem things like "invalid header" and "no such file", but am not as sure as I'd like to be. Most recently I tried and failed with Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-39.1.5.iso Any idea what I should try next? My late girlfriend used it. I remember her password, which is why she is not on the sudo list. I do not remember either the root password or my own. -- Michael hennebry(a)mail.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.

Uh-oh...

by Dave Ihnat

Didn't see this go by, but it looks hot enough to risk a repeat posting. From a friend: It appears there's been a very serious effort to backdoor sshd on Linux via the xz compression/decompression system. https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4 If you have anything running very recent Linux, it's worth investigating whether you're affected. IBM Red Hat says, if you're running Fedora 40 or Fedora Rawhide: > PLEASE IMMEDIATELY STOP USAGE OF ANY FEDORA > RAWHIDE INSTANCES for work or personal activity. The identity that did this got to the point of being not only an xz maintainer but a Linux kernel contributor, and contributed to a number of other Open Source projects as well over the course of years. The identity may have been compromised to do this, or may have been created to do this, and may have used other contributions to build rapport or to compromise more projects as well. I looked at the detection script available at the URL in the posting. It's harmless at worst (don't know yet if it can detect anything). Caveat Utilitor, -- Dave Ihnat

VDQ finding dnf names

by Beartooth

I normally have two or three browsers open. Most have been installed for so long I no longer remember what dnf calls them. My wife, who also runs F39, has been having trouble with the ones she has, and I have yet to get around to trying to diagnose them. Today as a stopgap I tried to install some others for her, using dnf. It couldn't find brave, falcon, opera, nor vivaldi. VERY Dumb Question : How do I look up what it calls them? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Questions about virtiofs

by Frank Bures

Hi, I have several separate file systems, amongst them /home on btrfs and media depository /archives on xfs (RAID-5). I am running Win11 guest in QEMU on F39 host. I installed winfsp in the guest and I can access my /home in Win11 guest. However, if I "Add Hardware" in Virtual HW details and create another virtiofs from /archives, I cannot see the file systems in Win11 guest. Is that a known limitation (only one virtiofs mounted at the time), or am I doing something wrong? Neither of /var/log/libvirt/qemu/win11-fs0-virtiofsd.log /var/log/libvirt/qemu/win11-fs1-virtiofsd.log indicate any obvious errors. They are in fact identical. Question 2: I do not see existing soft links in /home on Win11 guest. Is that intentional? Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>
