Hi today I did a upgrade in my debian after of this. have a problem really I look a solution for this problem and I don't find anything.

I know there are several topics about fping and zabbix, but I've read through them all and I am still having trouble getting something that should be pretty simple working. I am trying to do a simple ping test from a host (that's running zabbix agent) to an external host. In my zabbix_agentd.conf file I have setup a UserParameter such as:

UserParameter=vpnPing[*],fping $1 |grep -c alive

My fping permissions are as such:

# ls -l /sbin/fping
-rwsr-sr-x. 1 root zabbix 52904 Aug 5 2019 /sbin/fping

If I run the zabbix_agentd test I get (fake ip listed for example purposes)

# zabbix_agentd -t vpnPing[123.456.78.901]
vpnPing[123.456.78.901] [t|1]

So that seems to work. When I go to the zabbix UI and look at the latest data I see:

2020-06-04 17:55:30	sh: /usr/sbin/fping: Permission denied
0

The interesting this is the 0 at the bottom. I've also seen it be 1 at times. That sounds like something is working, but I don't get why I get the permission denied. Also when I look at the audit log I see:

type=AVC msg=audit(1591330891.927:15933): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=52320 comm="sh" name="fping" dev="nvme0n1p2" ino=8410299 scontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ping_exec_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

I'm running RHEL 8.2.

# zabbix_agentd -V
zabbix_agentd (daemon) (Zabbix) 4.4.9

$ zabbix_server -V
zabbix_server (Zabbix) 4.4.9

# fping -v
fping: Version 3.16

I have the Item in Zabbix configured as Type: Zabbix agent If I try:

zabbix_get -s [my_zabbix_server_ip] -k vpnPing[123.456.78.901]

it does timeout (not sure why as I can ping it just fine normally): zabbix_get : Timeout while executing operation But not sure that last part with zabbix_get is relevant b/c the checks to seem to be getting back to the zabbix server but it just says permission denied. I've been struggling with this for a while now and hoping someone can help me out?

I installed GLB (Galera Load Balancer) on the server following the instructions in this article . The installation appeared to complete successfully, but in the final step, running:

service glb getinfo

produced the following error:

/etc/init.d/glb: .: cannot open /etc/default/glbd: Nosuch file

I have multiple sytems running Ubuntu 19.10. I have a USB HID device which can be detected by each of those systems and I am using the exact same udev rules file on all 3 of them (99-MyDevice.rules) : SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="XXXX",ATTRS{idProduct}=="YYYY",MODE="0660",GROUP="timothy",SYMLINK+="mydevice%n" KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="timothy" On all 3 sytems the device correctly shows up as /dev/mydevice... Now when I execute lsusb -t it will output the following: Port 4: Dev 3, If 1, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=, 12M Notice that the Driver is empty, although sometimes, just every now and then, it will actually load the driver (which is what I want) and output this: Port 4: Dev 3, If 1, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M When the driver is loaded like this, the software can detect and use the device. The problem is that the driver is almost never automatically loaded. So far I've discovered two ways to load the driver manually (with mixed success): **Method 1:** I can manually assign/bind the driver using: echo -n "4-3:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/bind At which point lsusb -t shows the driver is loaded Port 4: Dev 3, If 1, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M And then I have to modify the acl for /dev/mydevice... in order to use it. Note that this method does not always work... feels like random at best. **Method 2:** Logically disconnect and reconnect the device to the computer. (As opposed to physically disconnecting it). I do this by installing VMWare and connecting the device to the guest system for a few seconds. After the device is reconnected to the host, most of the times the driver is bound automatically and the sofware can see/use the device. (Note that using this method, I do not have to modify any acl) **Some notes:** - If I use this device on a RaspberryPI with Raspbian I am not having this issue. - I have multiple devices of the same type and the issue occurs for all of them. - The issue does not occur on Windows - The issue does not occur on Windows inside a VM on the Ubuntu systems - The issue does not occur on MacOS - As far as I remember it did not occur on older version of Ubuntu either (not entirely sure) - The device itself is based on STM32F4. Any idea how I can force the usbhid driver to be bound every time? **Update:** It turns out that if, after physically connecting the device I run the following command, the usbhid driver is correctly bound every time. sudo rmmod usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid Note that I really have to use rmmod first, simply running modprobe does NOT solve the issue. So: 1. Physically connect: Driver=, 12MB 2. Run the command above: Driver=usbhid, 12MB According to this Source *the driver itself chooses what devices it supports.* So I am guessing the command causes the usbhid driver to re-evaluate whether or not it can handle the device. Now I still need to figure out how to automate it.

I'm trying to set up a data call through rmnet_dataX interface which is referring to a cellular connection through the card inserted, but having trouble doing so. I do the following

ifconfig rmnet_data0 up

I then assign an IP statically

rmnet_data0 Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:10.246.68.132  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Add the default path in the routing table

ip ro add default via 10.246.68.132 dev rmnet_data0

Add the DNS server

echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> /etc/resolv.conf

Set NAT rules

iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o rmnet_data0 -j MASQUERADE

Routing table

netstat -r 

Kernel IP routing table

ping google.com // fails

Also, the default path really just indicates the packets coming to the gateway IP are routed to the external network which in this case is network data? Given that, are NAT rules really required?

I need some help with using the Japanese keyboard setting (Mozc) on Firefox. It works in other programs like notepad or a Terminal, but the characters never show in Firefox. How can I solve this issue? I used it before some months ago, but after reinstalling Ubuntu I can't seem to type in Japanese in Firefox.

I guessing the problem resides in the port 694 not opened since it is unreachable.

I set up zram and made extensive tests inside my Linux machines to measure that it really helps in my scenario. However, I'm very confused that zram *seems* to use up memory of the whole uncompressed data size. When I type in "zramctl" I see this: NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT /dev/zram0 2G 853,6M 355,1M 367,1M 4 [SWAP] According to the help command of zramctl , DATA is the uncompressed size and TOTAL the compressed memory including metadata. Yet, when I type in swapon -s, I see this output: Filename Type size used Priority /dev/sda2 partition 1463292 0 4 /dev/zram0 partition 2024224 906240 5 906240 is the used memory in Kilobytes, which translates to the 853,6M DATA value of zramctl. Which leaves the impression that the compressed zram device needs more memory than it saves. Once DATA is full, it actually starts swapping to the disk drive, so it must be indeed full. Why does zram seemingly occupy memory of the original data size? Why is it not the size of COMPR or TOTAL? It seems there is no source about that on the Internet yet, because I haven't found any information about this. Thank you!

I am new to the Linux environment and I found CentOS to be a stable and secure operating system. I do not have much knowledge about the security profiles and how well do they protect the operating systems. I saw many tutorials on YouTube in which everyone skipped the security profiles during installation of CentOS 8 while people installing CentOS 7 used to get an option to select security profiles ( information about it https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/C7SecurityProfiles) . The main question I would like to ask, Q1. How do I implement security profiles in CentOS 8? Q2. If we can't use the security profiles of CentOS 7 then what options do we have for CentOS 8? Someone suggested me to use OpenSCAP (info about https://www.open-scap.org/security-policies/) Q3. Will OpenSCAP keep the CentOS 8 secure? Please provide some steps and suggestions which I could implement.

I want to output every Column / Field, but when I do it with the $0 variable, it ignores the default OFS variable which is a single space, so the :'s still get printed. Here is the command I tried:

cat /etc/passwd | awk -F':' '{print $0}'

Given this sample input:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin

I get this output from my command:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin

But I want my output to look like this:

root x 0 0 root /root /bin/bash
daemon x 1 1 daemon /usr/sbin /usr/sbin/nologin

--- Thanks for your help :)

Again, navigating to the repo in a browser shows a deb12u3 version of the package, but apt is trying to fetch deb12u2: I think my underlying issue is that apt, despite having just been updated, seems to believe the obsolete packages still exist in the repo. Does anyone know how I can diagnose why it is doing this, and fix it? Thanks! Edit: As requested by Stephen Kitt, adding the output of apt update (it reports errors for some repos, but not the deb.debian.org one. Note that the output of apt install qemu-system-x86 is unchanged after running apt update):

I have a secondary backup drive that is usually stored offsite, but sometimes mounted. I'd like to put something in a crontab that automatically clones my backup drive to the secondary backup if it's mounted. I know that I could do something like: if [ -d $target_dir ]; then rsync -a --delete $src_dir $target_dir; fi but I'm wondering if there's a way to ask rsync the same thing, without resorting to a shell script? Given that it has 6.02*10^23 command line options, you'd think so...

Suppose I have filenames like these 4-bit patterns:

0000.ts  
0001.ts  
...  
1111.ts

Basically, that file was generated from an RTSP stream that chunks every second. So, for each binary number increment by 1, it represents a 1-second chunk of video. Why do I prefer this pattern? Because I can control filtering with granularity based on powers of 2 using asterisks. For example:

ls 111*.ts   -> gets 2 seconds of video starting at 00:00:14  

ls 10*.ts    -> gets 4 seconds of video starting at 00:00:08

...and you get the idea for the rest.

But with ffmpeg, I can just do this using base 10 (i.e., Unix timestamp). Here are the ffmpeg flags I use:

-i rtsp://10.42.0.128:554/stream1  
     -c copy  
     -f segment  
     -segment_time 15  
     -reset_timestamps 1  
     -strftime 1  
     -segment_format mpegts  
     "/mnt/recordings/%s.ts"

You see that I’m using %s to get the Unix timestamp in base 10. What I really want is that Unix timestamp—but as a 64-bit version that printed in base2.

I'm new to linux and I've been running into some trouble. I use linux mint and sometimes (fairly often) after my laptop goes to sleep it freezes completely when it wakes up. I can't move the mouse, click, use the keyboard, or open a terminal. The only way I can get out of it is to force shutdown. I've used several different distros and they all have this problem. Is there any kind of fix to this or should I just go back to windows?

I am trying to mount two subdirectories from the same share name but cannot get it to work. # Mount the two different subfolders: # $server and $share are the same - the subfolder differs: $ subfolderA=a/b/c $ subfolderB=x/y/z $ mount -t cifs //$server/$share/$subfolderA /mnt/dirA $ mount -t cifs //$server/$share/$subfolderB /mnt/dirB # Traverse the directories - I see the same file in both directories (should only be be in dirA) $ find /mnt/dir[AB] -name fda.txt -ls 707409139 1024 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 May 28 08:50 /mnt/dirA/fda.txt 707409139 1024 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 May 28 08:50 /mnt/dirB/fda.txt # Mount in opposite order: $ umount /mnt/dirA $ umount /mnt/dirB $ mount -t cifs //$server/$share/$subfolderB /mnt/dirB $ mount -t cifs //$server/$share/$subfolderA /mnt/dirA # Traverse the directories - I do not see the file fda.txt at all $ find /mnt/dir[AB] -name fda.txt -ls I have verified my access to the different subfolders using smbclient and it gives me the expected results. The reason for having two separate mounts instead of just one, is because I do not have access to the share itself, but only to the subfolders.

In pulseaudio I use to be able to completely disable an audio device using something like:

pactl list short modules | grep -E "Logitech_BRIO|platform-skl"
pactl unload-module 15 # ID of device I wanted to disable

Which would prevent the device from appearing in any applications or most audio configuration settings (Like Cinnamon desktop Sound Settings). Now using Pipewire the individual devices no longer appear as modules, and even after reading thru the [Migrate PulseAudio wiki](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Migrate-PulseAudio) I don't see how to entirely disable a device. Even using pavucontrol to set the configuration profile to off doesn't remove the device. Is there a way to completely disable an input or output device when using Pipewire?

I have KDE's Spacebar installed on my Librem 5 but cannot figure out how to access/receive MMS messages. (edited image example) I added my MMS settings but still get the message above: Have any of you been able to receive MMS messages? I am attempting to receive cat photos. The screenshot was taken on Mobian. **Edit**: I am using AT&T (sometimes refered to as ATT) but would prefer a carrier-independent solution so that other may recieve help here as well

Up until yesterday, everything was working find and os-prober was successfully generating menu entries for the Arch Linux install. However today when I tried to boot into Arch, I got an error that the root file system could not be found at the UUID it was trying to use. After some tinkering I was able to get Arch to boot by manually changing the root to the actual partition "/dev/sda7" as opposed to using UUID. I was wondering what might cause os-prober to be generating this invalid configuration just for the Arch Linux install. It does fine still for the openSUSE and Windows 7 installs. One other thing to note is that it has added "rw quiet" to the end of the boot line for Arch Linux. That is not something it previously did, and I am wondering if whatever changed that has to do with why the UUID is incorrect. Below I will post the menu entry for Arch Linux. As you can see os-prober has the --set-root= 'some UUID' part with the correct UUID, but later on when booting linux it has -root=UUID='some other incorrect UUID'. Just to clarify, I have Ubuntu, Arch Linux, openSUSE, and Windows 7 on this machine, but I am using Ubuntu as the main OS and allowing it to manage GRUB and its configurations. All of the operating systems are at their most up-to-date versions. menuentry 'Arch (on /dev/sda7)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-simple-b9522736-878c-49e3-b30d-ad65589aa1d9' { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos7' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos7 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos7 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos7 b9522736-878c-49e3-b30d-ad65589aa1d9 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root b9522736-878c-49e3-b30d-ad65589aa1d9 fi linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=ad4103fa-d940-47ca-8506-301d8071d467 rw quiet initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img } As you can see the first two UUIDs are different from the last one. The first two are correct and the last one is wrong. If I replace the last UUID with '/dev/sda7', Then it boots without problem. I have manually edited the grub.cfg to do this, but I would like os-prober to get back to working automatically. Thanks.
