Configuring LXC containers
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I'd like to play with LXC but I find the docs not very newbie-friendly.
I'm trying to follow a guide at:
https://brandonrozek.com/blog/lxc-fedora-38/
(basically because it mentions Fedora). I followed the steps closely
and rebooted, but I get the following error:
$ systemd-run --unit=my-unit --user --scope -p "Delegate=yes" -- lxc-start test
Running scope as unit: my-unit.scope
lxc-start: test: lxccontainer.c: wait_on_daemonized_start: 877 Received container state "ABORTING" instead of "RUNNING"
lxc-start: test: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 306 The container failed to start
lxc-start: test: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 309 To get more details, run the container in foreground mode
lxc-start: test: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 311 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options
Any insights would be welcome. (Just in case, I tried running with
SElinux turned off, but it made no difference.)

port forwarding and RDP or ssh
by Alex
Hi, I have a fedora38 system on Optonline with port 1024 forwarded from the
router to 1024 on the fedora38 system where ssh is listening. I'm currently
using the following to connect:
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/mykey-key.rsa -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -Y -l gary remotehost
-p 1024
I'd like to be able to have applications launched on the remote system
appear on my desktop, also using fedora38. What's the best way to do that?
I've read about RDP and gnome-remote-session but much of the docs appear to
be out-of-date. General advice on what works in 2024 would be appreciated.
My friend is having difficulty with his evolution configuration. I'd like
to be able to launch evolution on his PC and have it appear on mine.

So, is everything working fine, or did a new release break everyone's
systems so badly they can't email any more? ;-)

IOW, it already has x access (and lxc-start is not setuid so it's
running as me).

Virtualization: Windows 32-bit i686 guest not working on Fedora 39
x86_64 ?
by Franta Hanzlík
After 'dnf system-upgrade...' my machine from F37 x86_64 to F39, win7-32
guest did not start due to BSOD 0x0000007B boot problem, while win10
64-bit works fine on the same machine.
I then tried:
- a newly created virtual machine consisting only of Win7-32 or Win10-32
installation ISO image freezes after start on the first inquiry window
- the keyboard and mouse do not respond.
- the same way created virtual win10 64-bit installation CD ISO works
correctly.
- I received the same behavior on a cleqan, freshly installed F39 system
- Win7 or Win10 32-bit did not work, but 64-bit without problems.
- on a new installation of F38 - Win7 guest works without problems,
as well as both guest installations of 32-bit windows from the CD ISO
image.
On F38 is libvirt-daemon-9.0.0-4.fc38.x86_64 + qemu-kvm-7.2.8-1.fc38.x86_64
On F39 is libvirt-daemon-9.7.0-2.fc39.x86_64 + qemu-kvm-8.1.3-4.fc39.x86_64
Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be?

Strange issue with name resolution systemd-resolved.service - Network Name Resolution
by Michael D. Setzer II
Currently in Nevada accessing 4 of my computers back in Guam.
Has been working fine, until earlier today.
VNC into the machines using same name of router, but different
ports mapped to machines.
Generally login to each one, and then next with no problem.
But today, got error messages that couldn't resolve names.
then tried dig on name and got similar timeout problem with it.
Tried restarting service, and that would work for a while, but then
it would give error again.
IP is a dyndns.org address, so it can change, but very seldom.
Added the address to /etc/hosts and then problem went away
completely. Connections made with no problem. Works, unless IP
changes.
Don't know if something was changed with service recently, or if
their is some way to have it have a backup if the 127.0.0.53 isn't
working? Just says timedout?
Any options to optimize things to prevent this? Have also seen a
similare issue running dnf updates. Sometimes it reports that it
can't resolve names of repos?
Note: Cox is ISP where I'm located, so don't know. The speed is
good, getting 175+M down, and about 11M up.
Long ago use to use multiple name servers including 8.8.8.8, but
then at somepoint it changed to the 127.0.0.53 thing.
Thanks.
