vdagent drag and drop question

2024-05-21 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

Host:
   Fedora 39
   $ rpm -qa spice\*
   spice-server-0.15.1-3.fc39.x86_64
   spice-glib-0.42-3.fc39.x86_64
   spice-gtk3-0.42-3.fc39.x86_64
   spice-vdagent-0.22.1-6.fc39.x86_64

VM:
   Windows 11 23H2
   Virtio-win-driver-installer 0.1.240
   Virtio-win-guest-tools  0.1.240

I can drag and drop a file from my Linux host to a
qemu-kvm Windows 11 virtual machine but I can not
do it in reverse

What am I doing wrong, this time?

Can an vsFTP server get swamped?

2024-05-14 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

I have a customer with four Windows workstations that
backup with Cobian Reflector to a local Fedora vsFTP server

vsftpd-3.0.5-6.fc40.x86_64

Every so often, Cobian errors out with:

ERR 2024-05-12 21:38:58 An error occurred while uploading the file 
"C:\Users\accounting\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\boteqaxu.default-1441211636453\storage\default\https+++shop.nordstrom.com\cache\morgue\44\{a7c30849-26e1-400f-9127-3cc779dc912c}.final"

Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is 
normally permitted 192.168.202.10:10098



But if I re-run the task, it goes through without issue.

By chance if several of the workstations start backing
up at the same time, can the vsFTP server get swamped?

Is there a way to increase vsFTP's sockets?

That is fascinating.  It would require an change in my iptables

One of the other things I like about remote assistance

Hi Jeff

That was very well stated.   About 10 years ago, I was
configuring a Linux server with CentOS for a customer.
To test all the hardware, I booted into the Live USB
tick I used to install the server.  It worked perfectly.
After installing, native would only work every 5 or
more boots.  What ??? Back in with the live USB.  Booted
perfectly every time.   The USB stick was slower.  It
was a timing issue.  Red Hat refused to fix it as
I was not a subscriber.

Out of desperation, I switched to Fedora.  It worked
perfectly.

Then I switched my office over to Fedora.  Everything that
did not work or worked poorly was fixed.  Well a few things
did not and I reported them, Fedora fixed the post haste.
I was in Linux heaven.  I still get the giggles every
time I boot up.  After the  S-T-R-E-S-S  of CentOS, I absolute
ADORE Fedora!

The thing about antique software, like RHEL and friends, is
that it is being used as an appliance, such as
a toaster or a microwave oven.  Set and forget.
Kaisen it is not.

Kaisen: continuously improve
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen

And if you want an "appliance", you can do that with ANY OS.
Just get you stuff going, lock it down.  Shut off all updates,
set and forget.  It is a much more reasonable way to do
an appliance rather than hope some defunct system will
actually work with your software.

A Windows colleague told me about an XP installation
he uses for some surveillance thing.  He minimized
it, took it off the network, installed just his
software.  Set and forget.  He has not rebooted
in years.  (For those of you not familiar with
Windows, it needs to be reboot about every three
days or it goes slowly screwy.  Windows is awful quality.)

Watching thread, and wondering why you are looking at AnyDesk
if they don't want to support Fedora? Not sure if they have a
special feature you are looking at? Haven't used that Program at
all, but seems to be a remote desktop program.

I've used TightVNC, TigerVNC, and currently using TurboVNC.

TigerVNC is the somewhat default version for Fedora, but I've
currently had good results with the TurboVNC with the XFCE
desktop myself.



Hi Michael,

I am providing remote support for many of my customers.
They are mostly Windows users.  I wish I had more
Linux customers, but it is what it is.  I would not
have a job if not for Windows poor quality.

I first used Go To Assist, but dropped them for their lack
of Linux support and ignoring bug and enhancement reports.
I also did not care for having to run it out of a Windows
virtual machine.

I looked at Team Viewer, but they are very, very expensive
and "Woke" as well, which means they are no longer hiring
based on merit and their product(s) will/are deteriorating
because of it.

The reason for AnyDesk and such is that it get around
firewalls/routers.  If a customer calls, there is no way
I would be able to coach then through installing a port
forward on their firewall/router which are required
for the various VNC's.  I am lucky if most of my customers
know how to use their keyboards. (I still have to assist
them with finding the "Win" and "Esc" keys.  Sometimes
even the "Enter" key.)

I landed on Any desk because it is reasonably priced,
supports Linux, is quite snappy (fast), is able to get around
several technical problems with Go To Assist, their
tech support is responsive, they take bug reports.

Although, if the report is specifically Fedora, the
second tier sends you back their supported linux spins.
They support CentOS and RHEL.  So I am currently
installing a Virtual Machine of CentOS to reproduce
any issues, so second tier can not weasel out of it.

Any Desk's RHEL rpm works rather well (except for the
lightdm issue) in Fedora and certainly gets around a
ton of issues that Go To Assist plagued me with.
AnyDesk's Multi Factor Authentication is rather easy
to set up too.  I prefer Red Hat's FreeOTP (Cell phones)
and Fedora's Keysmith for such.

Anyone can make up numbers.  There may be good numbers for RHEL
installations, but not numbers of users (at my former work lots of people
had RHEL logins that were rarely used, e.g. updates to a database).  For
CentOS and Fedora there can be large numbers of "managed" workstations
in a cubicle farm with very little visibility into the OS being used 
outside the

enterprise.

Hi George,

I am looking for evidence as to why AnyDesk should
start officially supporting Fedora.  They already
support RHEL and CentOS (I use RHEL's RPM), so it
would not be much of a leap.

What I need is an officially supported centos or

OT: live spins for RHEL and/or CentOS?

2024-05-10 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

Please forgive a bit off topic.

AnyDesk is having issue with light DM under Fedora 38 -  40.
The keyboard becomes inactive (probably sent somewhere else).
AnyDesk works fine if the user is already logged into to
his GUI.

AnyDesk support won't help as they do not support Fedora.
They only support RHEL and CentOS.  (Telling them RHEL
is based on prior versions fall on deaf ears.)

SO I am having trouble finding an XFCE or MATE spin
of either RHEL or CentOS to install in a Virtual Machine
to get them to support me and take the issue.

But I can't find such a spin.

Any ideas?

It worked !


Here is the weird thing.  I created a full install of FC40 MATE
on a 32 GB stick.  Put a bunch of cool programs on it.  Went to
boot it on the customer's machine and oh holy ...  The bios
was so screwed up that I could only get it to boot once.  After
that, if the stick was at the top of the boot order, I just
got a flashing cursor.  If I removed the stick, got a blank
screen.  It did not roll over to the next in boot order
(W11).   H

The customer came up with an idea.  He has a laptop from
his business that was given to him when he retired.  He
wanted nothing on the laptop.  So in with the stick and
perfect boot.  NO fussing with the BIOS.  Then back down
and in with Clonzilla.  Did a clone over with k2 fill
space and rescue option.  And a perfect clone and all the
space was used with the primary partition.

Will wonder ever cease.

Can't you you install them on the running system?

No.  The customer wants to play with it to see if he
want to ditch Windows 11 or not.  If he likes Fedora,
then yes.

Hi All,

Fedora 39

Any idea why the keyboard and the onscreen keyboard
wont let me type my password into lightdm's password
prompt.

Xfce and Fedora40 for ARM

2024-04-23 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

I noticed this over on Xfce's Fedora 40 download page:
https://fedoraproject.org/spins/xfce/download

Seems they have a ARM version.
https://imgur.com/inUFui5.png

Any computers/tablets for that to go on?

Yes, this is why it isn't working.  You have (I assume) a qt5 
package that is linked with a previous version and somehow wasn't 
updated when libicu was.


# rpm -qa qt* | grep -v fc39



I didn't mean a previous Fedora release.  I meant that something is 
linked against the previous version of libicu.


However, with some investigation, the 69 version was in F37 at the 
latest, so something is strange on your system and is from a previous 
release.  I'm surprised other things aren't breaking.


I am at a loss to figure out who is the culprit.  I will
just have to wait on the bug report

I didn't mean a previous Fedora release.  I meant that something is
linked against the previous version of libicu.

However, with some investigation, the 69 version was in F37 at the
latest, so something is strange on your system and is from a previous
release.  I'm surprised other things aren't breaking.


I am at a loss to figure out who is the culprit.  I will
just have to wait on the bug report


Does this show anything?

rpm -q --whatrequires 'libicui18n.so.69()(64bit)'

If not, does this show anything?

grep -Fl 'libicui18n.so.69' /usr/lib64/lib*

Yes, this is why it isn't working.  You have (I assume) a qt5 package 
that is linked with a previous version and somehow wasn't updated 
when libicu was.

Any idea where yours came from?




What are you running? Do you have an alias or another "marble" on your PATH?


No.

Does /usr/bin/marble work?

Looks like a packaging issue on the surface.

Suggest you report as a bug in fedora bugtracker so
the maintainer can look at it.

TIP: X11's four clipboards

Hi All,

A nice video on X11 four clipboards (Windows users
do not know what they are missing):

http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~lindsec/secondary-selection.html

I have no idea if all four work in Wayland (spelling).

Odd that it will paste to Leafpad, but other maintain the

Leafpad is working, I can only fathom.


Todd, do you mind sharing which desktop environment (DE) you're using? 
Different DEs manage copy-n-paste differently.


oops, Xfce
xfce4-session-4.18.3-2.fc39.x86_64



Are you using any sort of clipboard manager or anything?


No.  Those things drive me nuts.

I have similar issues with Firefox..

I've experienced this, and never really got a great answer, so I'm 
definitely interested in this thread.


Also, check out 
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/copy-paste-clipboard-issues-libreoffice-calc/45811/23 - it *might* be related to what you're experiencing.

I did some experiments. I can highlight a portion of a line, and that

pasted in another window. Highlight anything more than a line,
nothing gets
pasted. I tested this on multiple sites, so it's not a single site
playing
games with me. Copy/paste does not work either via the mouse middle
button
click, nor right click's copy popup menu, nor the main menu's
Edit/Copy/

So, what's broken:

1. Something here.
2. Firefox.


Works for me. Firefox on KDE (X11), F39.

Libre Office and the secondary clipboard

2024-02-23 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

Fedora 39
libreoffice7.6-7.6.5.2-2.x86_64 (From LO's web site)

Is it just me or is LO's Secondary clipboard ( etc.)
a real pain in your neck?  The first copy work.  The second
does not.  The paste is still the first copy.   I have to paste
to Leafpad and recopy to get it to work.

Odd that it will paste to Leafpad, but other maintain the
first copy.  I can  all I want in LO nd it is
still the first copy.   And that includes inside LO.  Why
Leafpad is working, I can only fathom.

*Some* of those only work with certain keyboards and mice.  The
plug/socket adaptor doesn't actually have any electronics in them, they
just rewire the pins from one to the other, misusing the USB connector.
The keyboards and mice they came with are dual-function and need an
adaptor that specifically suits them.

You want to look for keywords like "standalone" or "active" adaptors or
converters.  Something like how this advertises itself:

https://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-USB-Active-Adapter-Electronics/dp/B000I97N1M


I got one of those on my shop machine.  Does the same thing as my
office star tech.  Rats!


I have no idea about whether this particular one is any good, but it's
a cheap experiment and describes itself in the manner that seems
promising.  The reviews are mixed, but that could easily be due to the
specific keyboards that they're trying to use.

I'm kind of surprised someone still has PS/2 keyboard/mouse that they'd
like to keep using.


One word.  It is a "Unicomp".  Best typist keyboard
ever made.

I had to pick one for a store credit card when they forced us to do

Then, when it went haywire one day I had to tell telephone support the

same time.

Services should really have two passwords, one for you to use online
and another for you to say to technical support to prove it's you.
Technical support SHOULD NEVER identify person by date of birth and
phone number or street address.

We really need some agency we can report services to who have such crap
security that you just know they're going to be hacked and it's going
to compromise you.  Maybe then we'd have far less bulk data thefts if
there actually were consequences for being slack, consequences before
it's too late, and they were forced into doing things better.  It seems
like there's a huge one every month around here.
  



Hi Tim,

I do Payment Card Industry (PCI) consulting.  I only have
three customers that take it seriously.  All they others
I have approached have blown me off.  To quote one of
them "I am not going to pay that much money just to
take credit cards".  I now use cash as much as I can.
I have seen to many violations.  (By the way, I am
not that expensive.)

A few of them come back to get a real firewall (not
just NAT) installed, but most just pencil whip the
questionnaire.  And to add insult to injury, even
when I print out the Revised Statue that requires to
them to be PCI compliant, they do not care.

Add to injury, if they get hacked and they pencil
whipped, they become responsible for all costs
involved. Telling them that their grandchildren
will need lawyers does not phase them.

Oh another password I see a lot is "Microsoft S***s"
without the asterisks.  And when they are required
to set up multi-factor authentication, they change
their cell phone numbers and call me to redo
everything.  So far I am successful with every
thing except Apple ID, which have to be done
at the $$$ Apple Store.

Password construction rules were always a crock of crap.  Must have one

While making it harder for you to come up with a code you can remember

Password complexity requirements are still a load of crap. No one

complexity requirements seems to point to Microsoft NT 3.5. And we
know complex passwords result in weaker passwords from Security

I thought so.



Another load of crap is password rotation policies. You never throw
away a good secret unless there's evidence of misuse or breach. And
forcing users to gratuitously change their password results in users
choosing weaker and weaker passwords over time as they are constantly
grinded on to change good passwords. We know this from Security

 reveal the actual passwords in use around the world, and
 we can see that people typically fail to choose sufficiently
 long, complex, and unique passcodes. A study of the most
 common passwords used globally has “123456”, “qwerty”
 (six consecutive keys on a keyboard) and “password” among
 the top 5."

Add to that the foolish security sites that ask you to constantly
change your password all the time.  If the bad buys have not
figured out how to crack your password the first time, lets
give them another change every two weeks!  I have seen customers
with passwords on sticky notes on the bottom of the monitors:
abc!, abc!!, abc!!!, abc, etc. to revolve through their
passwords.  The revolving passwords silliness has been proven
time and again to lessen security.

Multi-Factor Authentication is a technique to try to get around
the users response to the obnoxious nature of passwords.
Whether or not it improves things or just manages to
further annoy the poop out of the users is up for debate.

exact this what you want is the other way of it sense;

2FA = 2 Factor Authentication

user and password

and then the 2nd factor, which is a OTP

when you really do this with your fedora, then there is NO 2nd factor,
because when your fedora gets compromised, the 2FA gets compromised, too

That's one of my gripes about two-factor authentication - it
(typically) uses your phone.  Steal someone's phone, and it's
everything they need to pretend to be you.


not really, because, the knowledge of user and password is somewhere else;

so neither the person who stole your phone (the 2FA device) nor you are 
able to login;


you should not use the phone as all in one:
- the login device,
- the 2FA device and also
- the password manager device


https://docs-prv.pcisecuritystandards.org/Guidance%20Document/Authentication/Multi-Factor-Authentication-Guidance-v1.pdf

You have to pick two of the three below.

a) Something you know, such as a password or passphrase. This
method involves verification of information that a user
provides, such as a password/passphrase, PIN, or the answers
to secret questions (challenge-response).

b) Something you have, such as a token device or smartcard. This
method involves verification of a specific item a user has in
their possession, such as a physical or logical security
token, a one-time password (OTP) token, a key fob, an
employee access card, or a phone’s SIM card. For mobile
authentication, a smartphone often provides the possession
factor in conjunction with an OTP app or a cryptographic
material (i.e., certificate or a key) residing on the device.

c) Something you are, such as a biometric. This method
involves verification of characteristics inherent to the
individual, such as via retina scans, iris scans, fingerprint
scans, finger vein scans, facial recognition, voice
recognition, hand geometry, and even earlobe geometry

Try printing from a different program, e.g. a word processor.

The program can be the thing that tells the printer to do double-sided
printing, some programs might not bother with giving you the choice.
Firefox gives me no option to print double-sided, and only prints
single-sided.  Whereas LibreOffice does, using the exact same printer.
Gvim printed something without asking me anything about the printer
(not even which printer), and printed it double-sided.

For instance, in LibreOffice there's a separate "Printer Settings" item
in the menu (separate from the print dialogue which will let you choose
which printer and some options).  In the window it pops up, the
properties button for your printer has a duplex option.

And if you go straight to the Print item, the "properties" button for
your printer also brings up a window which has a duplex option.

I'm not sure about why there's two printing things which have a variety
of options that duplicate some features, but not others.
  



Hi Tim,

Oh it does work.  It is just that each program has its
own naming convention for it.  I listed a bunch of them
in my 02:26 post.

The "abcd" part should be "totp", meaning it's a time-based code.
If there aren't any other parameters, it should be the usual 6-digits 
with 30 second change interval.

You need a program that can handle OTP codes.  There are at least two 
in the Fedora repo: "keysmith" and "numberstation".  I think they 
only need the "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNON" part after "secret=".


numberstation wanted to setup the kde keyring, but keysmith seemed 
like it would work right away.



I did see that.  I installed both.  Could not figure out how to
load the qr code into the to get the number back.  They both
looked like they generated the QR code, not extracted it.
I may be wrong though.


You're still misunderstanding.  You are not extracting the *number*.

Here's a real example otpauth url that you would get from the QR code:
otpauth://totp/ACME%20Co:j...@example.com?secret=AUSJD7LZ5H27TAC7NW2IJMATDMVDUPUG=ACME%20Co=SHA1=6=30

I can run keysmith, so I'll give you the very specific instructions for 
that.  I assume you've already setup the access password for the program.


Click the add button.
Fill in the account name and issuer as you want.  It's just for your 
reference.

The account type is time-based.
The secret key is the part between "?secret=" and the following "&".  In 
my example, this would be "AUSJD7LZ5H27TAC7NW2IJMATDMVDUPUG".
You can click on the details button if you want, but don't change 
anything in there.
Click the add button and you will go back to the main screen and your 
entry will have a 6-digit number beside and a timer bar showing when it 
will change again.


When the website asks you for the 2FA value, you can click on the number 
which will copy it to the clipboard and then you can paste it on the 
website.  Or type it out if you want.


This is exactly what the OTP app on the phone will do as well.


Perfect!  Thank you!

Sorry for being so thick headed on this.  I finally sunk in.

You are misunderstanding how this works.  That QR code contains a

I enter.


There are a number of apps which support multi-factor
authentication for Fedora.  Just three of which I am aware
of in the main repository are:

 google-authenticator
 keepassxc
 secrets

There may be others.  You should search for MFA, 2FA,
multi-factor authentication and such.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Authenticator is available as
a flatpak.

There's also https://authenticator.cc/ which is a browser
extension.  (Though IMO, doing MFA in an extension seems to
be defeating the purpose of MFA.  Or at least it brings in
more risk than I could justify.)

I don't use any of these apps.  I like my MFA app being on a
separate device like an Android phone.  Or, even better, I
avoid TOTP MFA entirely and use FIDO2 via a YubiKey.


I can't figure out how to import a qc splotch into
either keepassxc or secrets.  And I do not trust Google
as far as I can ...

The opposite!

I want to decode the Roshack splotch (OTP) when it is
presented to me, so I can enter the number into the
multifactor authentication challenge.


You are misunderstanding how this works.  That QR code contains a 
secret value that lets the OTP application generate the 6 digit codes 
as needed.  There is no actual code in the QR code.


To clarify further, you only need the QR code *once*.  After that, you 
use the application to give you the code you need when asked for.



This what I am after.  A program presents a QC splotch.  A
user scans it with their Android phone and reads it into
FreeOTP.  FreeOTP coughs out a six digit code, which
I enter.

I want to do this without the Android.

The "abcd" part should be "totp", meaning it's a time-based code.
If there aren't any other parameters, it should be the usual 6-digits 
with 30 second change interval.



On a stinking smart phone, it brings back a six digit code.
How do I duplicate this in Fedora?


You need a program that can handle OTP codes.  There are at least two in 
the Fedora repo: "keysmith" and "numberstation".  I think they only need 
the "secret=" part.


"keysmith" looks like it is "creating" the things, not

How do I read result of a QR Code

2024-01-16 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

Fedora 39

I do not have a stinkin' smart phone.

I scanned a QR code to drive and read it with zbarimg.
(it is a security code so I doctored the result up a lot).

zbarimg Screenshot_2024-01-04_16-08-43.png

QR-Code:otpauth://abcd/efgh:123445566?secret=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNONP=abcd.com
scanned 1 barcode symbols from 1 images in 0.02 seconds

On a stinking smart phone, it brings back a six digit code.
How do I duplicate this in Fedora?

Many thanks,

Is there a way to run Android apps on Fedora?

On the other hand, most of the OSx work I have done for customers

Yes.  But first you must purchase Apple hardware to run
it on or you are in violation of the terms and conditions
of OSx.  VM's are allow, but only on Apple hardware.
As such, you will et little support from the qemu-kvm
folks if yo hae any issues.

You can also run Hackintosh, but it is illegal.

If you think M$ does not play well with the other
kiddies in the sandbox, you have not met Apple.

It is best to go on line and rent an OSx VM
on the cloud.

http://edoceo.com/notabene/ova-to-vmdk-to-qcow2
http://wiki.hackzine.org/sysadmin/kvm-import-ova.html



Converting OVA for use with KVM / QCOW2

The OVA file is nothing more than a TAR archive, containing the .OVF and 
.VMDK files. Easy!


Using Evergreen ILS for example:

~ $ file Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ova
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ova:POSIX tar archive (GNU)

I'ts possible to use the tar command to list the contents

~ $ tar -tf Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ova
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ovf
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze-disk1.vmdk

Simply extract those things...

~ $ tar -xvf Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ova
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ovf
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze-disk1.vmdk

Now take a look at the created files The OVF XML file describes the 
image, it makes for some interesting reading about the expectations of 
the running environment.


~ $ file Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze*
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze-disk1.vmdk: VMware4 disk image
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ova:POSIX tar archive (GNU)
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.ovf:XML document text

Recent versions of qemu are able to run directly from the VMDK file, buy 
why do that? Use QCOW2, it's better. Execute: qemu-img -h and the last 
line of output shows the supported formats.


~ $ qemu-img -h |tail -n1
Supported formats: raw cow qcow vdi vmdk cloop dmg bochs vpc vvfat qcow2 
parallels nbd blkdebug sheepdog host_cdrom host_floppy host_device file


Now actually convert it, this may take some time.

~ $ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze-disk1.vmdk 
Evergreen_trunk_Squeeze.qcow2

Hi Thomas,

The OSx license states that you can only run it in a virtual
machine is you first run it on Mac hardware.  So you have to
purchase a Mac and install Fedora on it, then run OSx in a VM.

There are OSx hacks (Hackintosh), that you can
run in a VM, but they are illegal.

OSx does not play well with the other kiddies in the sand box.
It is an Apple thing.

Best to "rent-a-Mac" VM online to test things Mac.

desktop power button

2023-11-17 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

Fedora 39
MATE 1.26

I have been tasked to set up a kiosk at a cusomter's
site with Fedroa:  The users their are walk in customer's
wanting to pay bills, etc..  So Firefox, Brave, LibreOffice,
gcals, etc..  The users will be very, very, very low skill
users.

I was going to install MATE on it because it is danged simple
to operate.

The only issues is that the "system" shutdown/reboot is hard
to find for such a low skill user(s).

I would like a desktop icon to shutdown/reboot/sleep
their computer.  My own system is dual Xfce/MATE.  A
search of the MATE app installed does not show one
or I can not find it.

I see qshutdown on the web, but not in the Fedora repo.
And it is a bit too complicated for low skill users.

I do see kshutdown and gshutdown in the repo, but still a
bit too complicated.

Any ideas about a utility that would allow me to create
really, really low skill user shutdown icon for
their desktop?

I may have to compromise on gshutdown.  Be cool if I could locate
what MATE calls from the system menu.

Many thanks,
-T

Please don't ask for every F38 package you find.  If it's not something 
you're using and removing it doesn't take away something you're using, 
then remove it if it bothers you to have it installed.


I had a list of about 30 of them that I either removed or upgraded to 
39.  I only asked about three of them.  Then rest I could find with wev 
searches. etc..



# dnf reinstall libvirt-designer* --releasever=39


That command doesn't even make sense.  If the package is F38, then 
"reinstall" is clearly not going to work if you specify F39 as the 
release.  And if it worked, you would still have the same version 
anyway.   Use "upgrade" instead.


I used reinstall to force things to 39.  Sometimes I had to
use downgrade to get them into 39 as the 38 package was
a higher revision.

For example:
cups-1:2.4.7-2.fc38.x86_64
cups-1:2.4.7-1.fc39.x86_64

If you want more info, you can check koji:

This package hasn't even been attempted to be built for F39 yet.
And from there, you can find out why.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvirt-designer
"Package is no longer developed upstream and nothing uses it"

I don't think it's ever been a default package, so you must have 
installed it yourself at some point.


I agree.

had to use "up stream's" packages to get past a bug.

So I am pretty close to finished.  I reported the fonts

Huh   Flew right over my head.


Which bit?


The "Description"



The Linux Standards Base is a bunch of basic things expected to exist
on a system.  So software developers have some idea of what they'll
have to work with, what they're expected to support, etc, and try and
standardise things.  There's very basic things, such as the barebones
file system directories (/bin, /etc/ and so on) and what purposes
they're supposed to be used for, and there's binary constructs that
actually are the OS and expected support files (you expect to always
have the ls command, for instance).

And as a bit of a sideways example, CUPS was always expected to exist
on a system, even if you don't own a printer.  There's some logic to
that, also some illogic to it.  Everybody does not have a printer,
everything on a system ought to be able to deal with that, it shouldn't
require an idle printer driving system to be installed.

If you use "rpm -ql redhat-lsb-submod-security" you'll see that it only
contains two files.  If you actually look for those files on your
system, you'll may find they're zero byte files (they are on my CentOS
system) that aren't worth caring about.

The presence of those files satisfies some thing that looks for them,
and only cares that they exist.  Which, as far as I'm concerned, is a
bit of a dumb test for software to do, but there you are.

If you start up some software from the command line you'll see they
complain about various things not existing, but the program still
starts and runs (a better way to run things).  It's simply that those
features aren't available to it, it didn't actually *need* them.

Interestingly, there doesn't appear to be any LSB packages on my
Fedora 36 system:

[tim@fluffy ~]$ rpm -qa \*lsb\*
[tim@fluffy ~]$
  


What a wonderful write up.  Thank you!

Interesting:

$ rpm -ql redhat-lsb-submod-security
/usr/share/lsb/4.1/submodules/security-4.1-amd64
/usr/share/lsb/4.1/submodules/security-4.1-noarch

And they have not been touched since "Jan 19  2023".

That's not necessarily a good idea.  Sometimes packages get carried 
forward for various reasons and are still needed as you found in the 
other email.


Well, when dnf got updated from 38 to 39 in
a recent update, and consequently crashed,
it became a stellar idea to get all the
packages it needed updated to 39.


I will wait a bit and see if redhat-lsb-submod-security
gets rebuilt in 39

Keep in mind that

 dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=39

failed to update me to the fc39 version of dnf.  When
I forced the issue, things worked fine.  But first
I had to get dnf working, which is why the 9--> 10 links.

Download grade to fc38 version of dnf before running all
your tests

You might try just removing tigervnc and letting it remove the
no-longer
needed dependencies.


dnf is giving me the same output for any command I give it.

Hmmm ...



Okay,

I got dnf to work again with the following:

/usr/lib64# ln -s librpmio.so.10.0.0 librpmio.so.9
/usr/lib64# ln -s librpm.so.10.0.0 librpm.so.9

Now how do I fix it right?

I had the same as you until today when I did a `dnf upgrade`.
Then all hell broke loose and librpmio and librpm got upgraded
to 10.

dnf was still on FC38.

The real fix:

# dnf upgrade dnf  --releasever=39

Failed on its 


# dnf upgrade   --releasever=39

3000+ file later,


# dnf upgrade dnf  --releasever=39 --best --allowerasing

273 files later, and


# rpm -qa dnf
dnf-4.18.1-1.fc39.noarch

Fixed
