After nearly a year of operation, the OpenSSF today issued an annual report outlining what Alpha-Omega has actually achieved to advance the state of open-source security.

This is on Fatdog Linux 7.20 or thereabouts. Kind of like Puppy.

Here goes what I specified as exports before running the tool - I'm trying to have a short command-line so I set environment variables for the install. I read the directions how to set all these but it still keeps the texmfhome environment variable as ~/root. I don't want this. I have a hard-drive with 700GB free and I want ALL of the TexLive distribution stored there and only there. I went to great pains to set all the variables and read the documentation. The installer is apparently ignoring one of the INSTALL_ variables. I'll show what I set here, maybe someone can tell what is going on as I cannot.

TEXLIVE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/aufs/devsave/TexLive
TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXDIR=/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022
TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXUSERDIR=/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022 (It ignores this too, the variable seems to not even exist)
TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXMFHOME=/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-home
TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXMFSYSCONFIG=/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-sysconfig
TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXMFCONFIG=/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-config
TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXMFSYSVAR=/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-sysvar
TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXMFVAR=/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-var

and I also had to set the temp environment variables to use temp on the 700GB drive (I don't have any real room left on usr and home, which
I don't like anyway). As long as you set the paths you're using, it's fine to ignore traditional directories. The path takes care of it all.

set TEMP=/aufs/devsave/temp
set TMP=/aufs/devsave/temp
set TMPDIR=/aufs/devsave/temp

It correctly used the above temp directory thank God.

But it lists the variables on the log file as follows, notice the error for TEXMFHOME, and there is
no TEXUSERDIR output to the log:

Settings:
TEXDIR: "/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022"
TEXMFCONFIG: "/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-config"
TEXMFHOME: "~/texmf"
TEXMFLOCAL: "/aufs/devsave/TexLive/texmf-local"
TEXMFSYSCONFIG: "/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-sysconfig"
TEXMFSYSVAR: "/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-sysvar"
TEXMFVAR: "/aufs/devsave/TexLive/2022/texmf-var"

I'm tired of repeating this installation, I need to what is going on if someone can figure out what I'm not understanding
about the process. I followed the helpfiles.

Why does the program not install per the installation help files?

The current KDE Plasma has telemetry included, but off by default.

However, even when "off" it still logs information (seemingly related to a nag screen that will appear to say "please let us spy on you" at some point).

Supposedly, the entire system (kuserfeedback) is optional and can be removed, but in Debian Bullseye it has been packaged as a hard dependency - removing libkuserfeedbackcore1 would remove most of KDE Plasma with it.

Is there a way to change that (e.g. by editing relevant package files from "Depends" to "Recommends"), or is it something that requires compiling from source?

I've got Samba running on a server OK.

Other computers in the network can use command line commands like "smbget" against the server OK.

But if the same computer uses a GUI file browser like Thunar, and click on Network, the server name does not appear at all.

Any ideas why ? My smb.conf follows...

[global]
workgroup = OURNET
security = user
hosts allow = 192.168.3.0/24

passdb backend = tdbsam

server role = CLASSIC PRIMARY DOMAIN CONTROLLER
guest ok = yes

[photos]
comment = Our Photos
path = /volatile/share/photos
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes

[Music]
comment = MP3 music
path = /volatile/share/Music

I recently upgraded my cpu and motherboard. I upgraded to a AMD B550 chipset. I plugged my LFS partition and now the keyboard no longer works. I am using systemd. It works in Windows and Ubuntu, but not my home grown LFS build. I'm not using a display manager, e.g., GDM. I just go to the prompt. The keyboard works in GRUB, but when systemd starts the keyboard freezes. Even the 'scroll lock' and the 'num lock' won't light up. JournalD gives the following lines in my logs. The red line about 'ID_SEAT' affects other services as well. The mouse probably doesn't work either. It gets the same log output. But, I can't find out since all I can do is hit the reset button. Anyone ever seen these lines before? I figured it was a misconfigured systemd unit or I'm missing a udev rule.

Hi everyone

I have a file like the one below.

3.6655 -53.0463
3.6671 -53.0463

0.0000 -17.0666
0.0014 -17.0666

0.0029 -17.0666
3.6671 -53.0463

3.6671 -53.0463
0.0000 -17.0666

I want to add 20.04 to the 2nd column but want to keep the empty line. I tried the below commands but not getting the one I wanted.

awk '(NF>0){print $1, $2+20.04}' file
This works well but removes the empty lines.

awk '{print $1, $2+20.04}' file
This print 20.04 at the empty line.

I want a file like the one below after adding 20.04

3.6655 -33.0063
3.6671 -33.0063

0.0000 2.9734
0.0014 2.9734

0.0029 2.9734
3.6671 -33.0063

3.6671 -33.0063
0.0000 2.9734

Please let me know how I can do the above.
Thanks

I've had a similar problem like this in the past and, through no changes I made, the problem just disappeared. This time it seems like it happens with select programs (not ALL programs as before). In the case of OpenOffice, if I drag the source icon to OpenOffice, it starts immediately (as it should). However, if I start by double clicking the source file from Nautilus, it takes 45 secs or so to open the file.
I also noticed that it takes 45 secs or more for a file to start printing on the printer (wired LAN connection). Also, the printing controls in OpenOffice (maybe other applications) take awhile before the menu's appear (e.g., duplex printing options, etc.).

This started only a short time ago after a Ubuntu update (sorry, but I didn't note the exact date or update ID).

Any thoughts?

Dear Team,

Good Day. Currently we are working to secure our internal LAN and due to this we are planning to stop mobile devices (such as personal laptops and mobile phones) to connect on corporate network. Our key area of interest is to counter such users who manage to change mac address of home devices with the allowed one and bypass LAN security. There can be many cases but this is the one we shared as an example.

Kindly share your feedback
