[nlug] Recommendation to clean a hacked PC?

[john Wallace]

I have a friend who needs advice on where to take a hacked Windows 10 PC.

She's not technically savvy, and so telling her to save her files, wipe 
her PC, and re-install isn't something she would do.


Is there a local Nashville company who could professionally clean up her 
PC?  She is a doctor, and so the price would probably be less important 
than getting it done right.


Thanks.

[nlug] Android 13 question

[John F. Eldredge]

I recently upgraded to a Moto G Stylus 2023 (4G version). It is running
Android 13.

Every 30 seconds or so, a light blue, translucent band appears, moves from
the bottom to the top of the screen, and a chime sounds. If the phone is
set to do-not-disturb mode, i get the color bar but no chime.

This chime sound is NOT what I have selected as my default notification
sound, and no notification appears. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to
fix this? It is very annoying.

[nlug] Capturing a phone call's true origin

[John F. Eldredge]

Does anyone know of a way for an Android phone to capture an incoming
call's true origin number, or is that information only available to the
phone company? In the last year, I have received about 1,000 calls (several
per day) where the caller hangs up as soon as I speak. At first, I assumed
it was a bot building up a list of answered numbers, but I am now starting
to suspect I am being deliberately harassed. I served for several years as
the newsletter editor for the Nashville Peace and Justice Center, a local
progressive organization, so any harassment could be politically motivated.

[nlug] Best Salesforce alternative?

[john Wallace]

What would be a good open source alternative to Salesforce for a small 
company that uses Salesforce mostly to manage customer contacts and 
customer support?  Bug tracking would be a plus.  A solution that runs 
on Linux would be preferred but not necessarily required.


Thanks in advance.

Security through obscurity does not work :)  This is merely a method to
reduce alert & log volume so one can concentrate on more important
matters.  You will find that persistent pests will find the alternate
port and start probing but the automated skiddies will go on to
lower-hanging fruit.

fail2ban is available in EPEL for EL7:

yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release
yum --enablerepo=epel install fail2ban-server fail2ban-sendmail fail2ban-systemd

Configure as necessary and then enable and start with:

systemctl enable fail2ban.service
systemctl start fail2ban.service

Move sshd to another port; it does nothing to heighten security but it
will reduce log / alert volume by more than a bit.

If you install via a network install method the setting defaults to on

[nlug] Bad blocks in flash memory

[John F. Eldredge]

My Android phone has the input system periodically freeze for up to thirty seconds. If it does so while I am tapping text in, some of the keypresses are ignored (for example, I might type "right away" and have the text "ray" appear).  Sometimes, a dialog box saying "process 'System' isn't responding. Meanwhile, background processes such as showing a video keep running, unimpaired.I tried clearing all caches. No improvement. I tried doing a factory reset. This helped for about a week, then the slowdowns reappeared.I suspect some of the flash memory internal to the phone is going bad, causing multiple retries. I know the SD card isn't at fault, as I replaced the SD card, and that didn't solve the problem.Is there an Android equivalent to scanning a hard drive for bad blocks, and mapping them to be avoided? My phone is not rooted, and no one has reported a way to root it. It is a 2019 Moto G Stylus.

[nlug] Single printer shows up as two printers in Ubuntu

[John F. Eldredge]

I have a single printer, an HP Laserjet MFP M29W. This is a black-and-white
laser printer with built-in scanner, connected to happening Ubuntu machine
via an USB cable. For some reason, it shows up in Ubuntu as two separate
printers, named HP_LaserJet_MFP_M28-M31 and HP_LaserJet_MFP_M29W_7F4E86_
but using the same printer driver built into the kernel, drvless.ppd. I can
print to either one. Removing either printer definition in settings results
in it reappearing a few seconds later. Does anyone know why this is
happening? Should I disable one of them?

Re: [nlug] Re: Anyone use Square Space web platform? / backups, exports?

[John F. Eldredge]

Speaking as a former system administrator, having backups is always a 
good idea. Not only is computer hardware and software fallible, but a 
human can make a change and later decide it was a mistake.

The whole "backups are not a consideration" is highly suspicious.

Hello NLUG,
We are in a situation with our Joomla website and have a

do want to move away from Joomla, but online review of Square
Space mentions backups not being a feature and I believe
exporting the site is a related unavailable feature.

The developer told me:  "
/Squarespace doesn’t require backups because all data is held
on dynamic servers that can move around without the end user
even noticing. /

/Backups are not even a consideration. What is, is access
control to ensure you don’t have unauthorized people making
changes you may have to undo. But that’s proper change
management and that’s assumed in any efficient organization
because it’s fundamental."/


I'm wondering if we do have a security breach mess things up,
can we undo the damage by restoring?  And if we decide that
Square Space isn't for us, exporting to something else would
be good.

Have any of you dealt with Square Space before?

Re: [nlug] Bluetooth incompatibility

[John F. Eldredge]

I finally got the audio to work by unpairing and repairing the phone. I am
still trying to get Mitsubishi to tell me where to find documentation on
the Bluetooth system. The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage came with two different
Bluetooth interfaces. My car has the cheaper version, with only a pairing
button, an upward-pointing button, and a downward-pointing button. The more
expensive version has a touch screen interface. Naturally, the owner's
manual describes only the more expensive version.

[nlug] Bluetooth incompatibility

[John F. Eldredge]

Has anyone heard of certain phones' Bluetooth not being compatible with
certain cars? I have a Moto G Stylus phone, and a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage ES
car. The phone works fine with my Bluetooth headphones. With the car, I was
able to pair the phone, and I get a ringtone over the car's sound system
when a call comes in, but the call audio itself does not route through the
car audio. Mitsubishi says my phone Bluetooth is not compatible with the
car Bluetooth.

It's been present in their Enterprise Agreements for quite some time and

Current Enterprise Agreement for North America is at:

[nlug] Job title

[John F. Eldredge]

I am rereading the science fiction novel "A Fire Upon the Deep", and
laughing again at one character's job title, "programmer archaeologist".
His job was to go through libraries of old code and find useful routines.
Since so much current-day programming involves updates to legacy code, it
does have an archaeological feel at times.

[nlug] ClamAV finally finished

[John F. Eldredge]

ClamAV finally finished scanning my laptop, after about 80 hours! It 
said it found and quarantined 51 infected files, so hopefully my 
computer will now run faster than an arthritic snail when booted into 
Windows. Whatever these viruses were, Avast Antivirus didn't detect them.

[nlug] ClamAV running extremely slowly

[John F. Eldredge]

I have a laptop that can be booted into either Ubuntu Linux or Windows 10.
It runs fast on Linux, but, when running Windows, it has continuous disk
activity, and moves at glacial speed. My Windows antivirus software doesn't
find anything, so I downloaded a Linux Live CD with ClamAV installed on it,
burned the image while booted into Ubuntu, rebooted using the Live CD, and
started it scanning. It has been scanning files for 38 hours now. It isn't
hung, as the file names it shows as it runs are changing. Is ClamAV known
for slowness?

Re: [nlug] Memory/resource leak in Android 10

[John F. Eldredge]

No references, but the fact that the need to reboot went down sharply once
I was using a stronger connection makes me suspect the bug is in the WiFi
code. Cycling airplane mode on and off sometimes cleared the problem, but
not always. My phone is a Motorola One Action, connecting to Verizon, and
running the latest Android firmware (the most recent security update was a
few days ago. If the bug is in the device driver, it might be
Motorola-specific. If the bug is in the kernel, it may be more widespread.

I am now connecting to a Comcast router. I don't know what hardware the

[nlug] University of Minnesota banned from contributing to Linux kernel

[John F. Eldredge]

Two researchers at the University of Minnesota have admitted they
deliberately introduced security flaws into the Linux kernel, in order to
determine how effective the review process is. As a result, all code
changes originating from the university have been rolled back and are being
re-reviewed, and no one using a University of Minnesota email address will
be allowed to submit kernel changes. Apparently the flaws the researchers
introduced are now in use on production systems worldwide.

[nlug] Memory/resource leak in Android 10

[John F. Eldredge]

When I first moved into my apartment, I was relying on an open WiFi hotspot
elsewhere in the building. The signal was weak after passing through the
concrete floor, and it was common to lose my connection for a few seconds.
I was also having to reboot my phone, a Motorola One Action running Android
10, several times per day because it would stop being able to connect to
the WiFi.

Now that I am using a router in my apartment, I am only having to restart
my phone every couple of days. Apparently there is a memory leak or
resource leak every time the WiFi connection is lost and has to be
reestablished.

[nlug] good web logger?

[John Wallace]

I realize this is a Linux group, however I'm hoping some of you have
some OSX experience.

Is there a good solution for logging web connections on a Mac? I'm
thinking of something real simple and lightweight thats not easy to
detect. An open source solution would be a plus. A command line daemon
would be ideal. I'm not looking for anything that opens a port and
takes remote commands, just something that will write a simple log to
a file on the system of all outgoing web destinations.

Just as a small point of clarification there is zero indication that IBM
had anything to do with this, both from speaking with insiders at the
'hat, my connection to the CentOS Project, or the timelines involved.

This also dates back to the 2019 release of CentOS 8 which was delayed
by politics which have since been verified to been a fight over whether
to release 8 or not at all.  They didn't have the spine to kill it so
they let it go GA knowing full well that they would be killing it off
in the near(ish) future.  It would have been far better for all
involved, consumers and the 'hat both, if they would have never let
CentOS-8 see the light of day.

Disclaimer: I have been part of the CentOS project for 10+ years; take
what I say as you will.

Any '%' in a crontab needs to be escaped as it has special meaning to
cron:

"A "%" character in the command, unless escaped with a backslash (\),
will be changed into newline characters,  and all data after the first %
will be sent to the command as standard input."

The flow is Fedora ELN -> Stream -> RHEL where Stream is (effectively)
RHEL X.Y+1.  At least this is how it is on paper; how the flow will work
in a few months when the rest of the tooling is in place... that remains
to be seen.

[nlug] KeePass and KeePass2Android

[John F. Eldredge]

I am having problems trying to keep one shared version of my password 
database between my phone and laptop. I am using KeePass2Android on my 
cell phone and KeePass on my Windows laptop (I haven't set KeePass up on 
my Linux partition yet). I exported my passwords from the phone as an 
XML file, then imported the passwords into the desktop database (stored 
on my Google Drive) using KeePass on the laptop. No errors were 
reported. However, when I then try to open the password database using 
KeePass2Android on the phone, it reports that the database on Google 
Drive is "trashed". Has anyone come up with a working solution? 
Otherwise, can you recommend a solution that will work on Android, 
Windows 10, and Linux, using a database shared between all three?

[nlug] Sluggish performance under Windows

[john]

I have an older, dual-boot laptop that is responsive when booted into Linux, but noticeably sluggish when booted into Windows 10. It has plenty of RAM, and I have virus-scanned it both from within Windows and from within Linux, without finding malware. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to find out what is hogging the CPU under Windows? It didn't use to be this sluggish under Windows.-- John F. Eldredge -- j...@jfeldredge.com

Re: [nlug] last night's online meeting recorded?

[John F. Eldredge]

Did we actually have a meeting? No announcement was sent to the email 
list with a meeting link, so I assumed no September meeting took place.

More the four of us talking about their use of Linux. I'll have to remember 
that next month.

Topics included: video editing software, reasons to use VM's, flatpacks, and 
particulars issues with student use of a Raspberry Pi for a course. Probably a 
few more topics I'm not recalling right off.

With NLUG's help, Linux saved us $36000 the last two years and I still feel 
like a beginner.  Amazingly two of our non-tech pc users, ages 77 and 81 are on 
Ubuntu instead of Windows which keeps my hair on my head and my blood pressure 
down.

Thanks to everyone who's participated in keeping NLUG going over the years.

[nlug] Not coming to meeting 03/10/2020

[John F. Eldredge]

I am now working as a contractor for Deloitte, at their office in the AT
building downtown (the Batman Building). Unfortunately,  I learned today
that someone who worked in that building tested positive for a coronavirus
infection. Everyone in that building will be working from home temporarily
while the building is being disinfected. I hopefully haven't been exposed,
but will be staying home tomorrow night, as a precaution. I don't want to
share the bug, if I have it.

Re: [nlug] question for any Windows gurus

[John F. Eldredge]

The problem is that I am creating a utility program, intended to be run by
ordinary users, which will check whether there is a new version of certain
proprietary software on the server, and download and install it if it finds
an update. On a Unix or Linux machine, I would set this app to run under a
privileged user ID. Is there a Windows version of this capability?

[nlug] question for any Windows gurus

[john]

I know this isn't a Linux question, but I am hoping someone in the group may
know the answer. On a client's system, I need to be able to retrieve files
from a hidden network share. This share has a name ending in a dollar sign,
which keeps it from showing up in Windows Explorer. I can browse to this
share in Windows Explorer by typing in the UNC path, including the dollar
sign. However, trying to connect to this share via code fails, with an error
message indicating that the share isn't available. How do I connect to it
via code?

RE: [nlug] [OT] Visual Basic Question

[john]

OK, I found a work-around. I have to use an additional, undocumented step.

 

Using fs As FileStream = New FileStream(thisFile, FileMode.Open)

Using reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(fs)

fileText = reader.ReadLine()

End Using

End Using

 

I found examples of code online that used my earlier approach, so I am guessing 
that the need to wrap the file into a FileStream is new, and Microsoft hasn’t 
bothered to update the documentation, since all of their examples are using 
hard-coded file paths, not variables.

 

The “Using” statements are a way to make Visual Basic handle the garbage 
collection once the objects are no longer in scope.

Subject: [nlug] [OT] Visual Basic Question

 

I am trying to code a Visual Basic 2019 console app that makes use of the 
StreamReader object to read text from a file. According to the Microsoft 
documentation for the StreamReader object, when it is initialized, you pass a 
string with the path of the file to be opened, such as

 

Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader(“c:\sample.txt”)

 

However, all of the Microsoft documentation has the path hard-coded, not as a 
variable.  In my code, I am declaring a variable as type string, calculating 
its value at runtime, and passing that string to StreamReader as an argument.

 

Dim thisFile as string

 

Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader(thisFile)

 

This results in a compile-time error, BC30311 Value of type ‘String’ cannot be 
converted to ‘Stream’

 

What data type do I need to declare the variable as, instead of as a string, 
for this to compile and work?

RE: [nlug] [OT] Visual Basic Question

Intellisense says to use a string argument. My guess is that I have run into a 
managed-code vs. unmanaged-code issue, and that a literal argument is being 
silently cast to the proper managed-code string type, but I haven’t found any 
documentation saying how to declare a managed-code string.

string with the path of the file to be opened, such as

 

Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader(“c:\sample.txt”)

 

However, all of the Microsoft documentation has the path hard-coded, not as a 
variable.  In my code, I am declaring a variable as type string, calculating 
its value at runtime, and passing that string to StreamReader as an argument.

 

Dim thisFile as string

 

Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader(thisFile)

 

This results in a compile-time error, BC30311 Value of type ‘String’ cannot be 
converted to ‘Stream’

 

What data type do I need to declare the variable as, instead of as a string, 
for this to compile and work?

[nlug] [OT] Visual Basic Question

[john]

I am trying to code a Visual Basic 2019 console app that makes use of the
StreamReader object to read text from a file. According to the Microsoft
documentation for the StreamReader object, when it is initialized, you pass
a string with the path of the file to be opened, such as

 

Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader("c:\sample.txt")

 

However, all of the Microsoft documentation has the path hard-coded, not as
a variable.  In my code, I am declaring a variable as type string,
calculating its value at runtime, and passing that string to StreamReader as
an argument.

 

Dim thisFile as string

 

Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader(thisFile)

 

This results in a compile-time error, BC30311 Value of type 'String' cannot
be converted to 'Stream'

 

What data type do I need to declare the variable as, instead of as a string,
for this to compile and work?

This is merely an indication that someone or something ran a manual
rpm operation that updated the databases outside of yum's tracking.
This will resolve the next time yum updates its databases or you
reconcile history manually with "yum history sync"

The sitting and waiting sounds like bdb spinning on a journal lock on
/var/lib/rpm/__db.00?; make sure there are no rpm or yum processes
running and then move those files out of the way or just nuke 'em.  In
some cases you will need to rebuild rpm's databases but on 7 that should
be pretty rare.

If the above doesn't resolve it please pop into ircs://freenode.net/#centos
and we'll be happy to assist you with a bit less latency.

[nlug] Apologies for missing Tuesday's meeting

[John F. Eldredge]

I apologize for missing the Tuesday meeting. I began having chest pains 
Tuesday afternoon, and went by ambulance to St. Thomas West Hospital. I had 
not had another heart attack, but they had to place another stent today in 
one of my heart arteries. I don't have the phone number of anyone else in 
NLUG, and know from experience that messages sent to the NLUG list usually 
aren't read until days after they were sent.

[nlug] Locked out of the meeting

[John F. Eldredge]

I discovered a drawback tonight to meeting at the VACO offices. I had to 
stay at work until about 6:00 PM, so didn't get to the VACO offices until 
6:40 PM, ten minutes after the posted starting time for the NLUG meeting. 
The outside doors were locked, and I discovered that I didn't have the cell 
phone number of anyone likely to be at the meeting, only email addresses, 
work phones, and home phones. I posted a message to the NLUG mailing list, 
asking for someone to let me in, and waited outside until 7:30 PM, before 
going home.


There are likely to be future attendees who will arrive a few minutes late, 
and be unable to get in. I tried calling the VACO office, but just got 
voice mail. We need to have the doors unlocked until at least 7:00 PM on 
meeting nights, or else post a number people can call to be let into the 
building.

Re: [nlug] useful command o' the day

[John F. Eldredge]

However, from painful first-hand experience, if hardware failure means that 
corrupted data is being passed to the backup system, and the backup system 
is then making an accurate copy of that already-corrupted data, the backup 
won't report any errors, but the backups won't be useful.

All of that is moot if you're keeping offline backups (and maybe even 
offsite backups?  Right?  Right?), as the backup ensures that even if the

My definition of the vendor lock-in is the same. Controller failure is much 
less common than than disk failure, but when it happens it can be bad. In 
such case moving off the data may not be easy, the controller knew how it 
calculated and stored the parity. It's not a rocket science and it can be 
forensically determined I guess, but that may require non trivial effort. 
I've heard of a PACS system where the controller failure was forgotten out 
of the contract (between the hospital and the vendor), but it happened and 
it was NOT pretty.


With LVM it's all software, so you don't even have to move the data off, if 
you find any controller with JBOD capability which can show the disks again 
to the system.



I also often come across systems which 10+ years old, still running fine, 
but the controllers become my first thought in my mind. The best if you 
have some spare one. Still SATA, but yes, PATA for example is getting 
really outdated.

When I think of vendor lock-in, I generally think of the inability to move

more than a few years old.  As the disks tend to fail more often than the 
controller, how you formatted and managed the disks isn't likely to be the 
main issue.


The bigger issue that you're going to encounter is a change in hardware 
specification.  Imagine that you have a storage room full of IDE disks, and 
you needed to get information off of them, when today, the prevailing 
standard is SATA.  Or, if you're into tape backups, imagine a room full of 
backup tapes and being unable to find a working drive that takes that 
specific tape.

True. LVM is not remotely equivalent, but can be utilized towards use cases 
of disk arrays. A well versed RAID controller makes it easy to set up a 
RAID 50 for example but as you experienced, they can age and things can go

AMCC which has PowerPC CPU on board to perform the parity computations and 
related stuff. But for today's CPUs that's not much. If you have enough

One thing I also learned long time ago: make sure to have a BBU and that 
the BBU battery is charged & functional, otherwise you can be impacted by a 
significant speed hit because the card won't cache as much / caches 
differently for data integrity reasons.

Re: [nlug] Your next million...

Waze seems to report on only a few potholes, even though last winter there 
seemed to be a pothole every few inches. So, my guess is that it shows only 
manually-reported potholes.

Re: [nlug] Small Google world!

If you follow the link you can see John's name and address actually

oscilloscope listed right before the PS-940.


Scrolling through the magazine is a trip down memory lane. There's an ad

As for the scope: if it was outdated in 1982 I think it would be a real

Yes, that was me. I never did succeed in getting that oscilloscope working

then lost interest). I no longer own it.

[nlug] Cellular hotspot issue resolved

[John F. Eldredge]

After the recent NLUG meeting, I called Verizon Tech Support, and they 
changed a server-side setting on my account, allowing me to resume 
occasionally using my phone as a WiFi hotspot. Apparently, they decided to 
disable this feature on their phones until a given customer calls in and 
complains.

[nlug] Using Android phone as hotspot for Kindle

[John F. Eldredge]

I have a Kindle 8th generation device, with WiFi but not cellular service. 
I would occasionally like to use my Android phone as a hotspot, to sync the 
Kindle when I don't have WiFi available. I have used the phone successfully 
as a hotspot with a WiFi-only Android tablet. However, when I try this with 
the Kindle, the MAC address shows up temporarily as a connected device, but 
with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. After 20 seconds or so, the Kindle gives up 
and displays a dialog box saying that it can't connect. On my home WiFi 
system, the Kindle connects without a hitch.


What I suspect is happening is that the DHCP handshake was implemented 
differently on the Kindle and the phone. The phone is a Motorola Z2 Play, 
running Android 7.1.1. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work-around?

using WPA2 security) results in the "incorrect password"
error. It is definitely a DD-WRT bug, rather than a hardware
issue.



I verified that my router is using WPA2 Personal and TKIP. On the
phone side, there is no way to specify that; I suppose it queries
the router when it tries to connect. I can connect to the physical
interface without a problem (it is also using WPA2 Personal and
TKIP), and I can connect to the virtual interface if I set its
security to "None", but trying to connect to it with it using WPA2
Personal results in the phone displaying "authenticating" for
about half a second, then popping up a dialog box that says I
entered the wrong password, even though I entered the correct
password. I have also posted a message on the DD-WRT forum about
this issue.



I am still getting the same results.

[nlug] [OT] Gmail question

[John F. Eldredge]

I have several email addresses that I use for different purposes. I am 
considering routing all of them through my Gmail account for 
automatic-filtering purposes. However, I have a question about this. Can a 
Gmail filter be based partly upon the address the message was originally 
sent to, so that a message sent to one email account can be routed 
differently than a similar message sent to another account? I have searched 
online, and can't find a clear answer to this question.

[nlug] further question about job posts

[John F. Eldredge]

Would a local computer-related job post be acceptable, even if it isn't 
strictly a Linux position? A lot of network-related jobs involve supporting a 
mix of operating systems, not just Linux. You are also likely to see some 
programming positions on other environments, such as Windows, Android, and Unix.

[nlug] Android question

[John F. Eldredge]

Does anyone know of a way of preventing the Gallery app from displaying 
album-cover images from my music files, while still allowing music player 
apps to find the music? I know about .nomedia files to block scanning of a 
directory, but those block the music as well as the images.
