vulnerabilities.
by home user 09 Jul '26

09 Jul '26

Within the past few days, I saw an article in Yahoo Finance or Yahoo News reporting that some AI (Anthropic) finds thousands of security vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser. Here's one article about this: "https://thehackernews.com/2026/04/anthropics-claude-mythos-finds.html", but I don't know if that's the same article that I saw before. I wonder: just how vulnerable is Fedora? ... and how vulnerable is Firefox?

ssh forward agent
by Frederic Muller 19 Jun '26

19 Jun '26

Hi! Is there something that changed in F42 making forward agent no longer working? I'm logging in using SSH key to a VPS to which I usually log in without any problem. I then sudo su, but it's asking for a password. My config is as such: Host myhost Hostname thatsite.com ForwardAgent Yes User myself IdentityFile ~/.ssh/s1_sca PubkeyAuthentication yes ControlPersist 5m I copied the old .ssh from my backup so it's all the same files and I do manage to ssh to the server, just not sudo su. Thank you. Fred

Hello, I have an external SSD with several partitions. After I plugged it, only the fat32 partitions are mounted in /run/media/user The ext4 partitions are not mounted. What can I do to have an automount of a specific (or not) ext4 partition. Note that these partition do not show up in the file organizer Thank. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com ===========================================================================

You can use systemd mount and automount files for this. You need to make a pair of files for each partition you wish to mount. Here is an example of the files I use to mount my NFS shares from my NAS: <code> [Unit] Description=Mount ZimaOS Quick-Storage After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Mount] What=192.168.50.4:/media/nvme0n1p1 Where=/mnt/storage_server/NVMe Type=nfs Options=defaults,noatime,nodiratime,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,timeo=14,soft [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target </code> <code> [Unit] Description=Mount ZimaOS Quick-Storage via NFS After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Mount] What=192.168.50.4:/media/Quick-Storage Where=/mnt/storage_server/Quick_Storage Type=nfs Options=defaults,noatime,nodiratime,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,timeo=14,soft [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target </code> On May 30, 2026 9:18:15 AM EDT, Patrick Dupre via users <users_at_lists.fedoraproject.org_benhaube(a)duck.com> wrote: >I wish to add >sde >├─sde1 >├─sde2 vfat FAT32 FD3E-BBEF 748.5M 0% /run/media/pdupre/FD3E-BBEF >├─sde3 vfat FAT32 FD4E-F901 4.9G 0% /run/media/pdupre/FD4E-F901 >├─sde4 swap 1 93b70efd-c815-45ba-b4ed-9f7d58bcae8e >├─sde5 vfat FAT16 FFD6-B02E >├─sde6 ext4 1.0 root 3d7386bf-c961-4f15-a62c-297547491b1c >├─sde7 ext4 1.0 9de10f00-e19d-43ae-8b5f-f019428cedaf >├─sde8 ext4 1.0 pdupre f88a30fd-77ba-49c0-ac69-b1f219a6dda1 >└─sde9 ext4 1.0 pdupre_ext 21118fa6-1afe-46d1-a13f-b573c6e5d0ac > >How can I have sde8 and sde9 mounted "automatically" in /run/media/pdupre/ > >> >> Hello, >> >> I have an external SSD with several partitions. >> After I plugged it, only the fat32 partitions are mounted in /run/media/user >> The ext4 partitions are not mounted. >> What can I do to have an automount of a specific (or not) ext4 partition. >> Note that these partitions do not show up in the file organizer >> >> Thank. >> >> >> =========================================================================== >> Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com >> =========================================================================== >> > >-- >_______________________________________________ >users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org >To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org >Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ >List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines >List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org >Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new

Is there another list that might be better to ask questions on? Some questions get quick replies, and others are total ignored.

Have used Fedora with G4L project going back to 2004. Build it using Fedora, while Clonezilla seems to use Debian. Build a simple kernel file from kernel.org and an initramfs.lzma on Fedora to have it as a boot option. Put kernel file and initramfs in /boot 13329408 May 23 23:20 /boot/bz7x0.10 26252892 May 31 23:54 /boot/initramfs.lzma And then # cat /boot/loader/entries/5454d68084c145e496d5ce383b5147de-0-G4L.c onf title G4L 0.70 version 0.G4L linux /bz7x0.10 telnetd=yes initrd /initramfs.lzma grub_users $grub_users grub_arg --unrestricted grub_class fedora Then can boot to it and do repairs, or image disk or partitions. Once looked into making an rpm or other options, and pointed to an rpm list, but turned out it hadn't been supported for many years. Imaged my local 1TB disk to another disk (/dev/sdb to parttition /dev/sda1) 63276811734 Jun 1 2026 dellnotebook3.zst In about 34 minutes. Used zerofree to clear unused space before image that is part of g4l. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

I think that it is due to some old cruft still installed on this server. The source of the requesting libs seems to be compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-9.fc32.x86_64 which is ... old ...

Hello, I am attaching this screen shot generated by htop. Under this circumstance the system is slow. Indeed, I do not understand the swapping. It seems that the system is still swapping, while there is room in RAM if I understand.

OT: Creating an RPM and/or adding a project to grub2 boot
by Michael D. Setzer II 29 May '26

29 May '26

I've been maintainer of a disk imaging project going back to 2004. Looked at option of creating an RPM, but go a link to mailing list, but it then turned out to be dead. Generally use Fedora to create Project with an iso using syslinux to boot for CD or usb, then added option to create usb to boot from usb with bios / uefi boot using grub4dos. All works fine. Also found, could add to the regular grub2 menu with just putting the kernel and initramfs file in /boot and adding entry to /boot/loaders/entries. #!/usr/bin/bash unzip g4l-lite-fc43.zip linux/bz7x10 linux/initramfs.lzma -d /boot # puts kernel and initramfs in /boot directory # create /boot/loader/entries for option to load from grub2 machineid=$(cat /etc/machine-id) { echo title G4L 0.70 echo version 0.G4L echo linux /$(ls bz* | grep -v .config) echo initrd /initramfs.lzma echo grub_users \$grub_users echo grub_arg --unrestricted echo grub_class fedora } >/boot/loader/entries/"$machineid"-0-G4L.conf Then have option to boot directly to it in ram. Use latest kernels built from kernel.org. then build the initramfs recently converted from initrd to initramfs and added zstd compression, which is faster than older lzo default. Currently images my 1T laptop drive to a 78G image file in about 34 minutes. On notebook it creates (telnetd is an option to load telnetd) cat /boot/loader/entries/5454d68084c145e496d5ce383b5147de-0-G4L.c onf title G4L 0.70 version 0.G4L linux /bz7x0.10 telnetd=yes initrd /initramfs.lzma $tuned_initrd grub_users $grub_users grub_arg --unrestricted grub_class fedora Latest files. 13329408 May 23 23:20 /boot/bz7x0.10 26252385 May 28 05:17 /boot/initramfs.lzma Any suggestions. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
