Persistent data on specific directory in a LiveUSB

[Danishka Navin]

Hi there,

There is an option in liveUSB creation to make /home to keep persistent
data ( --home-size-mb
 ).
Can we make specific partition other than /home to use as persistent data
storage?
for example, /opt or /var.

Regards

Change your search base to cn=config, and use cn=Directory Manager as the 
binddn.

Alternately, stop the server, and edit /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance/dse.ldif, and 
put the attribute into cn=config section

Re: OSM & GPS??

I would suggest using QGIS. It run great under Fedora. I use Dani's copr
repo for QGIS. (copy of repo below) It's has the latest version, 3.4 which
is very stable. QGIS will natively open GPX tracks. Then you'll want to get
some backgrounds. I would add the QuickMapServices plugin. Once the plugin
is installed, Go to Web, QuickMapServices and open settings. Under More
service, select Get contributed pack. It will load in more than a dozen
backgrounds you can use.

As a personal note from an active OSM contributor, please at least consider
uploading your tracks. Just go to osm.org and select GPX Tracks to upload
yours. If you are willing to put some extra effort, once you've added your
traces, please add your trail to OSM.

When I'm speaking to a group about OSM, I'm usually asked about quality,
which is at least as good, if not better, than the others in large cities.
But for trails, OSM has the most trails of any map service. 99% of those
trails are added from gpx traces from people just like you.

If you need help with OSM or QGIS, please contact me directly.

Best,
Clifford

OSM & GPS??

[Beartooth]

I have a pair of old Garmin RINO 120 GPSs and a gadget to connect 
either of them, one at a time, to my PC, currently running F 29. For 
several years I could run topo map software under WINE -- unfree software 
from any, or almost any, of half a dozen vendors -- but never get any of 
them to talk to either GPS. Now there is Open Street Map, a.k.a. OSM, 
which I THINK runs natively under Linux.

I have studied forums and followed discussion lists (with Pan and 
Gmane, since most of the content is obviously unrelated to my 
questions).  For years.

It seems that everyone else is a mapMAKER, and takes mere USE for 
granted. I only want to use it, and only out in the woods or the desert 
or the tooley weeds -- all of which, it seems, OSM does map, despite its 
name. I want to get maps to scale that show things of interest to me 
only, or I hope only -- things like good lunch rocks, and nests, and 
particular trees, all or nearly all off any trail.

Unlike the OSM regulars, I have no advanced skills in 
cartography, nor EE, nor CS. My skills and knowledge are in unrelated 
areas. 

All this boils down to two questions. If I install OSM under 
Fedora, will it accept, incorporate, and display off-road and off-trail 
data from an old GPS, either with OSM's own data, or with things like USGS 
topo maps? And if it will, can an ordinary mortal learn to use it?

I have just downgraded VirtualBox from 6.0.4 to 5.2.26, and the
problem I reported here seems to have disappeared.

I meant in the sense that it's a channel not mediated by the firewall,
but I can't say I've thought it through.

I don't think so as I believe it is done by one of the kernel modules and the 
requirement
that the Guest Additions package needs to be installed on the guest.

Yes, it appears as a network drive.  However, it is "faked" and the "Guest 
Additions" need
to be installed on the guest for them to work.

Thanks for your answers, Patrick and Ed. I am now suspecting that the
cause the problem is not VirtualBox, but Windows 7, since there are
plenty of complaints on the Internet regarding file explorer
freezing...

In my case, inside Windows, the shared file is identified as a

Network drive.

I think you're right (I wonder if this is a potential attack vector?).
It's been a while since I've used VB. Libvirt has something called
filesystem passthrough which I've never been able to figure out, so I
just use NFS or Samba.

I do not think the shared folder function of VirtualBox uses the network.

I see no traffic between host and guest if I accesses the shared folders on the 
guest.

Also, if I set the FW on the host to "Block all Network Traffic" I get this on 
the host

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ping cnn.com
ping: cnn.com: Name or service not known

Yet, I can still access the shared folders on the host from the guest.

That's very similar to what I experienced, but in fact it did turn out
to be a combination of the firewall and the VPN. See the (long) thread
at:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/5TR4J7KU77ZRHHMWXCOYGNQ2HFPPGZA4/

Of course your case may be completely different, but it's worth
checking your firewall settings just in case.
