This article gives an overview of how systemd-resolved works with a VPN.

You might just need to manually add your company DNS and/or search domains to 
the OpenConnect VPN network connection you created.  You can use 
nm-connection-editor to configure the specific DNS and search domains for your 
corporate network specifically just for the VPN network connection.  My 
workplace uses two domains for internal resources but only one is provided via 
the VPN DHCP I always need to manually tweak the settings when I set up the VPN.___

Re: WSL

[Kevin Becker]

At some point a few years ago I paid for Whitewater Foundry's Fedora
Remix for WSL.  It worked reasonably well and I don't recall any
particular issues with it but for my purposes, if I'm using WSL, it
seems preferable to "go with the flow" and use ubuntu as that seems to
be what the WSL crew expect people to be using.

I've run fedora for years on an old Dell Latitude E7440 and it still
works great.  Very easy to upgrade and service as well.  I also have it
running on a newer XPS13, not sure which specific version but it's a
least 3 years old, and it also has run great with no issues at all.

I’m no selinux expert, as I mentioned the instructions came from a commercial 
VPN vendor for installing their configuration files. From my limited 
understanding though, it seems that it is just allowing the actions that 
openvpn specifically tried to perform and failed.  Is the risk there that 
openvpn may be compromised? For the most part, I guess I’m trusting that if 
openvpn tried to access something, it likely needed to access it?

This is handled by the system-wide crypto policies.  I’m sure there is a way to 
create a custom crypto policy to tweak this one parameter but I’ve never done 
it.  You can roll everything back to LEGACY with

update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY

Or you can target a specifc older release:

update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:FEDORA32

To bring it back to the current default policy:

update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT

However rather than change the policy on fedora, I think the recommendation 
would be to regenerate your putty key with a stronger algorithm and/or key 
length and copy the new public key to your other boxes.

They just recently shut down the ACME V1 API.  I suspect they were

Are you trying to use just the hostname without the fully qualified
domain name?

systemd resolved won't modify the nameservers listed in
/etc/resolv.conf.  It uses different name servers based on the
interface.  It won't query your VPN name servers if you only specify a
hostname.  It will only use your VPN name servers if you specify a
domain name that matches the domain names of your VPN.

This article gives a good overview of how it works, including on vpns.

Is the search domain that is added to resolv.conf the correct domain for your 
work that you are trying to access?  I have two domains at my workplace and 
only one of them gets pushed out by the VPN DHCP service so in order to resolve 
anything in the other domain I have to add it myself.  I use 
nm-connection-editor to modify the IPV4 settings for my VPN adapter to add both 
desired search domains.  Systemd-resolved has per-adapter DNS servers and will 
only query the VPN DNS servers for domains that are specified in the search 
domain for that adapter.

Adding "PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa” to my .ssh/config entries for each of 
the UniFi hosts has resolved the issue without downgrading the crypto policy

Weirdly that query didn’t return anything specific to Fedora guests (and only 
Fedora guests) not being able to use public key authentication to a specific 
subset of hosts while working perfectly fine on other hosts.  I’m very familiar 
with public key authentication.  As I stated I can ssh “without a password” 
from my Fedora computers to multiple different hosts just fine.  And I can log 
in to the unifi gear “without a password” from multiple different machines so 
long as they are not running Fedora. 

It turns out the one thing that had slipped my mind was the updated crypto 
policy in Fedora 33. Running "update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:FEDORA32”  
solved the issue for now.  The next step is to figure out what was deprecated 
and see if I can override it in my .ssh/config file for the UniFi hosts rather 
than changing the crypto policy system-wide.

UniFi Public Key Authentication

[Kevin Becker]

I'm at a bit of a loss on this one so I thought I'd see if anyone has
any other suggestions.

My home network is all Ubiquity UniFi gear.  I have a USG-3P router, a
few switches and one AP.  There is a UniFi controller app that
centrally handles the configuration of the devices, including managing
SSH access.  You enter a public key in the controller software and it
distributes it to all the devices automatically.  I rarely actually SSH
into any of the devices so I don't know when this stopped working but
at some point it did work.  I have the public keys for my desktop and
laptop, both running Fedora 33, in the controller but when I attempt to
SSH I am prompted for the UniFi admin password rather than my private
key password. I don't get any sort of cipher mismatch or any other
error, it just prompts for the account password.

Things I've tried:
* Verified permissions on ~/.ssh
* I can still SSH into many other hosts and they all accept my RSA key
just fine 
* I removed and re-added the keys in the USG controller
* The fingerprint of the keys, as displaying in the controller
software, matches the fingerprint in seahorse (Passwords and Keys)
* Verified public key auth works to the UniFi gear from several other
devices I have, including a Macbook, iPhone, Raspberry Pi, and an
Ubuntu VM
* I built a fresh Fedora 33 virtual machine, added its public key, and
it has the same issue
* I verified the keys are actually being copied to the authorized_keys
on several different UniFi boxes
* Comparing keys to my MacBook, both are RSA and have a length of 3072

Essentially any Fedora box I've tried won't do public key auth to any
of the UniFi gear but they all authenticate fine everywhere else, and
every non-Fedora device I've tried can authenticate to the UniFi stuff.
The UniFi gear doesn't even all run the same OS, the USG runs EdgeOS
and has the keys in .ssh/authorized_keys but the switches have a
busybox shell and use dropbear for ssh with the keys at
/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys

I can just use the password for SSH, it's very rare that I actually
have any reason to do it at all, it's just the puzzle that is driving
me crazy.

Re: Windows 10 + F33 + SSD + RAID

[Kevin Becker]

Yes, it was a Dell for me as well.  I have an XPS 13 which is odd since you can 
buy it with Linux pre-loaded, but if you get the Windows version is ships with 
this weird RAID config by default.  It has only one drive and I don’t even 
think there is an option for two so the RAID setting makes no sense.

I think there may be some terminology confusion here.  It sounds to me like you 
have a NAS (network attached storage) device and you want to copy data from the 
NAS to an USB drive.  The NAS was presumably sharing files via NFS but now 
there is an issue with the NAS where you can no longer mount it to access the 
files but you can SSH into it?  Is this correct?

I used nm-connection-editor because I needed two search domains for a
VPN connection. Only one was provided by DHCP so systemd-resolved
wouldn't send DNS requests for the second domain through the tunnel
after upgrading to F33 until I manually added the additional domain.  I
can't see any reason it wouldn't work with a staticly configured LAN
connection too.  The reason I said "there are probably other ways" in
my post was because I'm still not versed enough in systemd-resolved and
didn't want to dive into the learning the format of
/etc/systemd/resolved.conf and spinning up a VM to test it.

There are probably multiple ways to do it, but I would use nm-
connection-editor to add it in the "additional search domains" box in
the IPV4 tab.

Just as another suggestion, you can use container tabs in Firefox to
handle the business vs home account scenario. I use Firefox exclusively
and the only issues I've seen were solved by just changing my user
agent to make the web server think I was in a "supported" browser.

I have a Brother HL-3170CDW that works with no configuration at all
with Fedora. It was autodiscovered via mDNS and is using the built-in
drivers included with Fedora.  It's wifi-capable but being in my office
near a switch anyway, I just hardwired it.

You still need to type "sudo" you just don't need to enter your

Sorry, I was just chiming in to present the data point that it might

Re: Audacity: "Error opening recording device"

[Kevin Becker]

I have the same issue on my laptop.  I removed the Gnome Software
version, which didn't necessarily appear to be a flatpak as it didn't
say it was from flathub.org.  Nevertheless, the version I get from a
terminal DNF install seems to have the same issue for me.  Everything
else in the system that I've tested with seems to work just fine with
the built-in microphone.

Re: OT: WSL2

[Kevin Becker]

I work in a primarily Windows-based environment but I have a lot of
 leeway in choosing and configuring my work computer.  I used a MacBook
Air for many years, giving me access to MS Office and other commercial
software while still having a nice unix terminal.  When it came time
for a new laptop, I couldn't deal with Apple's pricing and their
keyboard design so I ordered a Dell XPS 13 instead.  It makes more
sense for me to be using a Windows laptop for work, but I stubbornly
jumped through a lot of hoops to work with my MacBook (and I still jump
through a lot of hoops to use my Fedora machines when working from
home).  At least with WSL2 all the tools I would expect a computer to
have are available to me within Windows without needing to dual boot or
run a VM.
Also Ubuntu is not the only distro choice, but it is the most popular.
 I believe there is even a Fedora spin from a 3rd party but they charge
for it.

Re: boot/grub

[Kevin Becker]

My system has two efi boot partitions on separate drives.  I rarely
boot to Windows and I wanted it on its own completely separate
drive.  I configured a default in the firmware settings and then for a
while I would choose an alternate when I needed to by hitting a key to
bring up the efi boot menu.  Eventually I got around to adding a boot
entry for my second (WIndows) drive to grub on the main drive and now I
can just select Windows from grub if I need to boot into it.

Re: Restart F32 WiFi on ThinkPad P72

[Kevin Becker]

I haven't followed this thread at all but this is a common feature on
many laptops.  There is often a BIOS setting for it.  I didn't find the
manual for the P72 in a quick search but the P71 manual turned up this
BIOS option:

Wireless Auto Disconnection
Values: Disabled, Enabled
Descriptions: Enable or disable the wireless automatic disconnection
function. This is selectable only when an Ethernet cable is connected
to the Ethernet connector on your computer. If you select Enabled,
Wireless LAN signals are automatically turned off whenever an Ethernet
cable is attached

I've never edited any audio without also playing it back.  It's not
like the matrix where I can make out the sounds by looking at the sound
waves.

Re: CUPS print test page -

[Kevin Becker]

Is your printer configured using an IP address or is it just being

mdns4_minimal entry was removed from /etc/nsswitch.conf that broke
printing for me.

Re: Captcha's are out of control

[Kevin Becker]

I use SimpleNote and the login page says "protected by reCAPTCHA" but
there is no captcha to solve.  Nevertheless, the first login attempt
always says I failed the captcha (that I didn't do) and the next one
lets me in.  So maybe they've just streamlined it to skip the theater
of failing to identify the crosswalks.

Re: F32, mDNS, and nsswitch.conf

[Kevin Becker]

Well, my printer was autodiscovered and configured via mDNS, so with
the mnds4_minimal entry missing, it was not able to resolve the name. I
could've  gone an manually added it by IP address or a static DNS name
but I liked the simplicity of it working "automagically" and I never
remember the exact syntax I need and whether to set it up an IPP or
HTTP or LPR printer.  

I've had issues with the mdns4_minimal entry in the past when accessing
work resources over VPN, presumably because we have a .local Active
Directory domain at work and mDNS uses .local as well.  IIRC I had to
move the mdns entry further back in the list to make it work, but that
was a few years ago and probably on ubuntu.  I never had to mess with
it in Fedora until now.

F32, mDNS, and nsswitch.conf

[Kevin Becker]

I've been using Fedora on my laptop for a few years now, and on a newly
built desktop for since just last summer.  I've never had an issue
upgrading, but I only recently became aware of the recommended post-
install steps.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/

So this time, after upgrading to Fedora 32 I followed the guide.  When
I was looking through the results of rpmconf -a, I chose to install the
newer config files as I hadn't made any local changes, except in
sshd_config. 

After the upgrade, it turned out I could no longer print from my
desktop.  My printer was discovered via mDNS and configured
automatically in the past, it was really nice actually.  I tried on my
laptop as well and had the same result.  I basically ignored it for a
few days, installing updates and seeing if it was fixed, but it never
was.  Monday I had a bunch of printing to do for my kid's "remote
learning" school assignments so I figured I'd dig into it. It turns out
mdns4_minimal had been removed from host resolution in nsswitch.conf. 
I restored the nsswitch.conf.bak on both machines and my printer is
back in business.

I'm not sure if this is a bug?  Was it removed for a reason or should I
report it?  Maybe it has been gone for a while now, and I've just been
bringing the config forward.  I suspect whatever package adds mDNS
functionality also adds the entry to the default config and then I
resotred the default back so this is basically user error.

Re: Run firefox across ssh?

[Kevin Becker]

Even if you install an X server, the native Firefox is not going to use
it to render.  You may be able to compile a version to work but it will
take more than just having X.

Yes, it might seem like more of a hassle but you should generate a
unique private key for each user/computer that you want to connect from
and add all the public keys to bob's authorized_keys file.  That way if
you ever need to revoke a key, like a computer is lost or stolen, you
can simply remove the single public key for that user/computer

Re: F31: recommended best way to send postfix traffic through Cisco's AnyConnect VPN

[Kevin Becker]

I use openconnect to connect to my workplace Cisco AnyConnect VPN
regularly. We don't require 2-factor auth but it looks like openconnect
supports it.

https://dmoerner.wordpress.com/2015/11/04/howto-openconnect-vpn-with-duo-multifactor-authentication/

I leave our default split-tunnelling configuration enabled.  This
routes only traffic bound for my workplace subnets through the VPN and
everything else goes out through my local network.  However, you can do
a lot of custom config via the command line.  The config and startup
script are in /etc/vpnc, but I just use the Gnome GUI interface for
Network Manager to configure mine.  In the GUI there is a checkbox for
"Use this connection only for resources on its network" that if you 
uncheck should route all traffic through the VPN.

Could we all just try to stop with the "clever" snarky nonsense and

it.  If you just want to bicker and argue about who killed who then
maybe take it to another venue?

Like you, I haven't burned a DVD in a while, but I used the program k3b
to do so the last time I did, and it worked fine.  I have brasero
installed as well, so next time I'll give it a try to see if it will
work for me.

I wonder if your external drive had a power issue; mine is internal.
Or, maybe the lense needs cleaning with some isopropyl alcohol, using a
q-tip or cotton ball.

Re: Firefox issues with Fedora 31?

[Kevin Becker]

I just upgraded my main machine to Fedora 31 this weekend and have the
same tab issue.  I'm using Gnome.  I don't seem to have any trouble
with drop down menus though.  My laptop has been running Fedora 31
since it was released but I rarely detach tabs there so I can't say if
it is working (it's not handy to test at the  moment).
