The first two data lines are from running F35.
The last two data lines are from running live F38.
They seem to be the same.


And you don't have any bios/software raid enabled and have the disk
set to AHCI if available in the bios?


I'll try to check the BIOS.

Re: Fedora 38 wayland login user NO, root Yes SOLVED

2023-10-06 Thread richard emberson

Well, "we have met the enemy and he is us".

I very regularly use rsync to backup my home directory to a different machine.
So, after installing from KDE Live, logging in from a remote machine,
I restored my home directory with the saved backup. This created/over-wrote
  .local
  .config
  .cache
  .gtkrc-2.0
  .gtkrc-2.0-kde4
  .mozilla
This removed all the wayland stuff and other files that were placed there
during the useradd/gui_login_attempt.

Lesson 1, if you need to restore a backup, be careful about restoring
certain directories ... especially if you did an install/upgrade after the
taking of the backup.

So, I got errors from who knows where and could not login from the
login screen but could ssh into the machine.
Now, having deleted the above directories and then doing an initial
gui login, I succeeded.

Re: How do I stop this malware

2023-10-06 Thread Roger Heflin
keep a second firefox window open, alt-tab to it run about:performance
and it will list out all of your tabs and you can X a specific tab.

Try about:performance I have to use it a lot to figure out which tab
lost its mind and is slowing everything down because it decided it
needs gb's of ram.

In firefox about:config there are some options that might prevent full

about:confg and search for fullscreen (browser.fullscreen.autohide

Re: Monitors

2023-10-06 Thread Roger Heflin
I will pay money to simplify the config and/or the mess such that it
is easier to get working and/or easier to keep working.  2 different
cards from 2 vendors is going to be difficult to get working and
difficult to keep working.  If you are going to have to add/buy cards
and/or buy a 2nd KVM for the second set ouptuts to monitors then you
are likely already close to 1/2 way to the outright cost of the 4k
device.   And the new 4k tv (monitors are expensive, tv's are not)
simplifies everything.Sometimes using what you have is way more
expensive in time and sometimes money.

Re: Monitors

2023-10-06 Thread Lukas Middendorf

Hello,

On 06/10/2023 09:47, Patrick Dupre wrote:

I plan to install a KVM for 2 monitors.
One machine has a VGA/DVI on the motherboard, and the other one has 2 DP.
Both monitors are VGA/DVI/DP
I have to replace the VGA out by a DP.
What would be the best option:
1) Add a DP video card on the PCIExpress bus (and use the DVI of the 
motherboard)


If you want to use two different graphics cards (dedicated and on board) 
at the same time you will likely run into trouble or at least have a 
difficult setup. It might even start with the on board graphics being 
automatically disabled when you plug in a dedicated PCIe graphics card. 
And I would be really surprised if you could find a graphics card with 
DP and only one output. The only time I would consider more than one 
graphics adapter at the same time is if you absolutely can not get 
enough outputs with a single card (more than four monitors).



2) Add a dual port DP/DP (or DP/DVI) video card on the PCIExpress (using none 
port of the motherboard)


This is the way to go.


3) Add a USB-C port on the PCIExpress and a USB-C -> DP converter (and use the 
DVI of the motherboard)
4) Add a dual USB-C (on the PCIExpress) and 1 USB-C -> DVI and 1 USB-C -> DP 
converter.


Those two will not work. USB-C does not magically do display, but also 
needs some GPU to generate the DP signals to put onto the connector. In 
notebooks or other fully integrated devices this is quite common, but 
external USB-C adapter cards usually have a DP input to which you have 
to connect a DP cable from a separate graphics card (or on board graphics).



The KVM2 could be DP/DP or DP/DVI.


I think it makes sense to go fully DP on all used outputs and also use a 
KVM-Switch with DP. DVI is a dead end and deprecated for almost ten 
years now. I guess your monitors do not do more than 1920x1080@60Hz, but 
if you want to switch to something with a larger resolution in the 
future, DVI with adapters (since the new monitor will not have DVI 
inputs) will not work. If you want to use adapters between different 
port types keep in mind that only DVI to HDMI are bi-directional, 
everything else (especially DP to DVI) has a fixed signal flow direction 
and might need external power (for example DVI to DP, if you can even 
find it).


Best regards,

Lukas

Re: Monitors

2023-10-06 Thread Roger Heflin
so you want a dual-dual-monitor setup with a KVM.

Have you considered getting a single large 4k monitor/tv instead of 2
smaller ones(assuming the smaller ones are 1080p)?  That would
simplify a lot of what you would need to buy.

I am running a 4k TV across 2 machines, physically it is 43" and I
have the usable resolution/space of 4 22" 1080P monitors.   The color
on my TV is decent and it is a cheap 4k tv ($220 + tax), so may not be
much more expensive that the hardware needed to implement the above.

I use the TV input/remote switch  + a USB keyboard-mouse switch to
switch control from one to the other.   On one of the machines I have
a second small monitor(not on a switch) off to the side showing stuff
I always want to be displayed(outside cameras).

2023-10-06 Thread Patrick Dupre
I am sorry for the confusion.
I am attaching a pdf to clarify my approach.

The question is about what to set in PC1.
The VGA port cannot be used for this setup.
Option 1:
try to use the DVI of the MB and
add a graphics card with one DP port
Option 2:
add a dual port DP/DP video card, with a converter DP to DVI
Option 3:
try to use the DVI of the MB and
add a USB-C card with a converter USB-C to DP
Option 4:
add a dual USB-C card with a converter USB-C to DP and USB-C to DVI.
Option 5
add a dual port DP/DVI video card

Use a DVI KVM (check it allows EDID passthru).
You can passively convert DP to DVI with a cable.

as I cannot use the network icon either.
Hence the desire to keep malware from going fullscreen.

Also, disconnection might not work on a similar
attack done with client-side scripting.
In that case, I might have to directly kill a process.
I can do that from another console,
but do not know how to select the process of the rogue tab.


What would happen if you disconnected from the network just long enough 
to change the settings on the browser to NOT open new pages in a tab but 
instead to do it the old-fashioned way: open new pages in their own 
window.  You might be able to X the malware window or at least identify 
it with ps so you could manually kill it by PID.

Re: F38 installer claims it cannot find a hard disk

2023-10-06 Thread Roger Heflin
Typically you have to go full custom and assuming home is on a VG with
free space you would then have to create a LV and define a fs on it,
and assigned it as root (/).

Similar would have to be done with /boot outside of LVM and if efi
would you also need a /boot/efi again outside of LVM.

No harddisk means no harddisk with free space(unpartitioned).  If
partitions are unused then you would have to assign them and/or rework
them.

What does the /home directory/disk look like?  (partition table, lvm
setup (if lvm)?)

How?
It seems to want me to select from a list,

Also a message at the bottom states no hard drive detected.

can also point it at your /home partition and tell it that is the /home

Re: Monitors

2023-10-06 Thread Roger Heflin
ok.  that makes a bit more sense.  And by KVM he means just
keyboard-mouse since he has 2 monitors and does not need the video
and/or the video is separated by monitor.

I am not sure what he is trying to do given this setup.   Depending on
what he is trying to do, there may be easier ways to do what he wants.

Then the question becomes what will X/wayland allow you to separate.
With 2 separate video cards of some sort that should be safer, I am
not sure 2 X/wayland instances would play nice with the same video
card but underlying 2 monitors.

I suspect some confusion about the meaning of KVM. I think the OP means
a physical Keyboard-Video-Mouse switch, not the kernel virtual machine
system.

I don't believe KVM allows separation by video port.  I think you can
only give a KVM the entire card.  And even if KVM allowed you to give
it a single port I think X/Wayland assumes total control of the card
and cards ram (I could be wrong, but that would require knowing about
the 2nd instance and playing nice with each other, and that seems like
a lot of work so, and even if it was done it probably does not work
right).I don't think #1 will work, #4 would work so long as you
have 2 usb-c converters.

What are you doing inside the KVM that you need to give it a real
video card?  Or does the virtual one simply work that bad?

I am also not sure how well the USB3 video cards work on linux, and on
a desktop machine there tend to be no real usb-c ports (at least on
the ones I have).

Re: How do I stop this malware

2023-10-06 Thread Roger Heflin
Technically it does, you just have to figure out what the os process
is and kill it, each tab is a separate os process.I have killed
weather channel with kill -9 many times(it is easy to find it as it
leaks ram and is the only multiple-gb firefox thread).

If you have a 2nd firefox window open (and can switch to it) then you
can do "about:performance" it will list all of the separate
processes/tabs and you can click on X and that one tab goes
empty/stops and you can go back to the original firefox window  and x
the tab itself without reloading it.

Did you reboot after that?The driver is loaded by vainfo (and
bypasses X11), but I also believe the original  driver is also loaded
by X11/Wayland and is still in memory when used via X11/Wayland.

I also found that some video tools (default mplayer) do not use vaapi.

And there are also ffmpeg versions in fedora/updates and a different
one with more free but not quite free 3rd-party licensed in rpmfusion
(ffmpeg-free vs ffmpeg)

while on the road. You can't configure port sharing or a VPN endpoint like you 
can on your landline router.

You might try uninstalling mesa-va-drivers and replacing with this:

one of my 2 machines was ok and a 2nd one looked closer to what

looked like.

And replacing with freeworld it now looks much better and has a lot
more accelerators.

Hi Roger, just a silly question for my benefit, what information in
the
mediainfo output that Alex supplied, confirms that the video actually
is 4K?

Presumably these lines:

Width: 3 840 pixels
Height   : 1 608 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 2.40:1
Thanks Patrick, I didn't see those lines when I looked, and I looked 
multiple times.


regards,
Steve

Re: F38 installer claims it cannot find a hard disk

I burned the F38 workstation installer onto a DVD.
On booting it can find my home directory on the only hard disk.
When I tell the installer to install,
it claims it cannot find a hard drive.  Grrr.

The first time I got the message, I just rebooted.
On the second boot, I looked for my home directory and found it.
I even looked at some images, so I know it was atually reading files.
When I told it to install, no go.


To do the install you have to point the installer at a partition you 
have specified as the root (/) mount point for it to install to. As part 
of you can also point it at your /home partition and tell it that is the 
/home mount point. You may also have to create a 100MB partition for the 
uefi partition if you are installing on a uefi system.

Monitors

2023-10-06 Thread Patrick Dupre
Hello,

I plan to install a KVM for 2 monitors.
One machine has a VGA/DVI on the motherboard, and the other one has 2 DP.
Both monitors are VGA/DVI/DP
I have to replace the VGA out by a DP.
What would be the best option:
1) Add a DP video card on the PCIExpress bus (and use the DVI of the 
motherboard)
2) Add a dual port DP/DP (or DP/DVI) video card on the PCIExpress (using none 
port of the motherboard)
3) Add a USB-C port on the PCIExpress and a USB-C -> DP converter (and use the 
DVI of the motherboard)
4) Add a dual USB-C (on the PCIExpress) and 1 USB-C -> DVI and 1 USB-C -> DP 
converter.

The KVM2 could be DP/DP or DP/DVI.

I guess that fedora could manage the dual monitors correctly.

Thanks
