The simplest approach to putting your old config into a brand new install, is to completely delete the new config files and directories of the fresh install, then copy all your old ones over.

The biggest difference I see though is that with enumerating the permissions you have full control over what is to be put into the custom policy module, while running audit2allow directly with the -M switch is kind of a blackbox where you can't see it. It can be done in 2 steps, use -m, check the type-enforcement file, possibly add or delete some of the permissions, and then insert the module.

OT: simplest way to display on-screen blinking colored indicator
Dear friends, Sorry, this is OT but I thought that some of you might have suggestions. I want to have an on-screen indicator in the form of a icon or something that is blinking red if vpn is disconnected and steady green if vpn is up. Could also be extended to other features but right now let us go with this. The reason I need this is because the Cisco icon (that I need for VPN because of required third-party 2FA) is very tiny and almost impossible to see. It is time-consuming and distracting to constantly have to hover over the icon to see whether it says Connected and Disconnected. So, I am thinking of a small script that will check every second (say) if VPN is on or off and then display accordingly. The script part, I think I can write on my own. It is what th script will do/call that i am having trouble with. So any suggestions as to what I could do. Now, I am aware that I can perhaps get something like conky to be set up for this, but I was hoping to have something far simpler. But I do not quite know how to do the simple display part.

What are the top 5? There is no such thing. It really depends on what you want to do, what you are familiar with, the support you expect and so on. And even with the same requirements different people will use different distro. Different distros exist because someone didn't find what they wanted in existing distros. The downside of this is that different distros provide different packages, so you may want some software that hasn't been packaged, or the only package is for a very old version. There is the Linux Standard Base [1] (LSB), a cooperative effort by several distributions coordinated by the Linux Foundation, that attempted to provide binary compatibility across distributions. There are a number of open source applications that are sufficiently complex that building them takes a significant effort (examples include TeX Live, R, and NASA's ocean remote sensing package). This worked well for a while, but has broken down. A couple problem areas are internationalization, Oracle's change in the licensing for Java, the advent of Wayland, and dealing with multiple versions of libraries to support systems using large numbers of CPU cores and GPU's for processing. The NASA package provides it's own versions of many libraries because distro's build the same library version using different options (multiprocessing, compression, array indexing with 32-bit or 64-bit ints, etc). Initially, LSB was based on RPM packaging with some constraints to support automated conversion to .deb packages.I found this really helpful for a year or two before it broke. Best is probably to test-drive then for a while and see what works best for you. Fred There are simply far too many choices for Linux distros. I find it helpful to look at the support forums and wiki's. Arch Linux often has the best documentation. Ubuntu forums have been dominated by questions from new users and people who recommend "sudo ..." whenever "..." doesn't do what the user wanted, but there are significant projects that are developed on Ubuntu and ported to other distros. Debian avoids many of the "overly popular" issues with Ubuntu, and most Ubuntu packages come from Debian anyway. -- George N.

What are the top 5? There is no such thing. It really depends on what you want to do, what you are familiar with, the support you expect and so on. And even with the same requirements different people will use different distro. Best is probably to test-drive then for a while and see what works best for you. Fred There are simply far too many choices for Linux distros. But choice is good... Do you prefer a "one-for-all" system, or a 1 or 2 companies world solution? Indeed it requires more time but we get to find what we need (don't we?). Fred I do agree choice is good. -BEGIN EMAIL SIGNATURE- The Gospel for all Targeted Individuals (TIs): [The New York Times] Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html Singaporean Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 14 Feb 2019 and refugee seeking attempts at the United Nations Refugee Agency Bangkok (21 Mar 2017), in Taiwan (5 Aug 2019) and Australia (25 Dec 2019 to 9 Jan 2020): [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming -END EMAIL SIGNATURE- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Can you please tell me what is the difference between your method and running: ausearch -c 'systemd-sleep' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemdsleep semodule -X 300 -i my-systemdsleep.pp This seems to be more permissive compared to your workaround.

gnucash / flatpak / flathub related
I subtly mentioned in my last post, that I did not have the new version of gnucash installed natively, but instead as a flatpak from flathub. However, I just tested the gnucash flatpak version, and it did not work, so I removed the flatpak of gnucash. I natively installed the new gnucash, and it seems to work nominally.

some Rawhide feedback
Today's update, went smoothly for my install of Workstation. My kernel is now:5.7.0-0.rc1.20200414git8632e9b5645b.1.fc33 My backup kernel is: 5.7.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc33 And my emergency kernel is the crusty old 5.7.0-0.rc0.git8.1.fc33 The only fc31 package on my install is TrouSerS. I have a new point-release of Firefox. Why out of all the packages that gets updated is Firefox the most finicky ?and requiring a reboot ? Several packages got bumped up this week from the fc32 to the fc33 category.Among them was gnucash.( But mine is a flathub flatpak ) Cups is now fc33, except for the two packages below: cups-pk-helper.x86_64 0.2.6-9.fc32 cura-lulzbot.noarch 1:3.6.21-3.fc32 There are still some stale crusty bread lying around: gnome-themes-extra.x86_64 3.28-7.fc32 but nothing else easily noticeable. I am joking sarcastically, but about half of the lib packages ( dependencies ?? ) are all still fc32, which is normal at this early stage in the flow of things. All and all, I am betting Fedora 33 is going to be the best release yet. Mine boots up quickly and reliably, and has been stable since installation ( new fresh install about a week or two ago ).
