Coming after Kali Linux 2023.3, the Kali Linux 2023.4 release is here to introduce support for the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer. A dedicated image is available for those who want to use Kali Linux on the tiny computer, but you can also install it through the official Raspberry Pi Imager flashing utility, which is very cool.

GNOME 45.2 is here more than five weeks after GNOME 45.1 and improves the GNOME Shell component by optimizing application search, improving high-contrast styling, and adding support for a “version-name” field in extension metainfo as GNOME Shell extensions now support a custom “version-name” string.

Dear LQ,

I was just curious to know if any of you had any bindings for the following keys:
- Sys Rq
- Pause/break
- Scroll Lock

I'd like to use one of these keys in my inputrc to start capturing output from the terminal in a tmp file.
Another keypress on same key would toggle the function off.
I'd also like to use a second key combination to paste the content of last command directly in the command line (more here).

I just wanted to make sure that it was ok to bind these keys,
and also curious if anyone had any special keybindings already bound to them.

Hi all,

I have been working on this problem for some time now and it has just totally baffled me. I am hoping someone has some ideas to throw my way please.

So I am using Hashicorp Packer and Ansible to create an Azure-arm image. Packer builds it and Ansible provisions with certain software packages required. When I build a new vm from this completed image in Azure I log in and can see that interface eth0 has a mac address that Azure has provided it via it's build process but in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg.eth0 it has a variable of HWADDR which has the mac address which was used when I built the Azure image and it got packaged up.

So I get a networking conflict and certain things fail to work out of the box! I might also add that the new vm is a product of ours and it kicks off a registration process upon first boot. If the machine is rebooted without this registration being complete will result in the vm's specific software failing. So rebooting is not an option whatsoever.

I would just like to know how to get the mac addresses in line. I've tried certain blocks in Ansible to disable cloud-init or even try to stop it controlling the mac address assigning. I've also tried post-processor code blocks in Packer. All of which result in the vm being unusable and me not even being able to log into the thing to start the registration.

OS used is Oracle Linux 8.x

Error in /var/log/messages
Code: error="process update config file: could not save updated config for interface 'eth0': exit status 7: Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device eth0 not available because profile is not compatible with device (permanent MAC address doesn't match)) Thanks to anyone who has time to look at this and help. Much appreciated.

I'm stumped. I have a Linux host, DC1, which was located remotely. I was able to ssh into it from my home linux computer QUADMON without problem. I then brought this host home and connected it to my LAN with IP 192.168.0.2. But now when I try to connect from QUADMON I get the following in DC1's /var/log/messages:
Code: sshd Connection closed by 192.168.0.17 port 54786 [preauth] If I try connecting from another linux computer on my home LAN I get:
Code: ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer sshd is listening on 22 on DC1. DC1 has an empty /home/mfoley/.ssh/know_hosts.

I can telnet from QUADMON to port 22 on DC1.

Any idea why I can't ssh from QUADMON to DC1?

Hi everyone, I'm an undergraduate student who is entirely new to Linux. I am currently using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and working on setting up and simulating an IBEX RISC-V core on my computer. I am trying to install the GNU compiler, but i am having issues. These are the commands I ran: cd new
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev curl python3 python3-pip libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gawk build-essential bison flex texinfo gperf libtool patchutils bc zlib1g-dev libexpat-dev ninja-build git cmake libglib2.0-dev
git clone https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain
cd riscv-gnu-toolchain/
/configure --prefix=$home/new
make linuxThe error produced:mkdir -p /.test || \
(echo "Sorry, you don't have permission to write to" \
"''. Please make sure that the location is " \
"writable or use --prefix to specify another destination.'" \
&& exit 1)
mkdir: cannot create directory �/.test�: Permission denied
Sorry, you don't have permission to write to ''. Please make sure that the location is writable or use --prefix to specify another destination.'
make: *** [Makefile:221: stamps/check-write-permission] Error 1A person on GitHub said I am writing into root rather than the Home directory. But I don't understand what i am doing wrong.

HE sad news is, MakeUseOf is no longer covering GNU/Linux. Why? We don't know. But this change was abrupt, not gradual.

I have a virtual machine setup with linux mint. I have a .img file called Batocera.img and it is 994gb, it has over 100 gb of free space. I need to shrink it to 989gb as my micro sd card is 990gb. I copied the entire .img file to the desktop inside a folder.
I have used this guide below please read -->
https://softwarebakery.com/shrinking-images-on-linux

Under creating a loopback device, the 4th command is "sudo partprobe /dev/loop0"
When I run this command I get an error that says this -->
Error: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/loop0

What can I do to fix this? Is there a better or different way to shrink a .img file, I am open to trying anything at this point.
Thankyou to who ever would like to help me.

It's being logical in its way, and printing the back page right side up--after flipping the paper on short edge (because that's what I set). I need the document to print with the same orientation on both pages, but I haven't found that setting anywhere.

Hello,

System details:

• Kernel: 6.3.X
• Distro: Devuan (Debian) Linux
• CPU: 3900X
• MB: B550 Taichi
• RAM (DDR4): RipJaws 3600 and Teamgroup 3600
• PSU: SuperFlower 1000W Platinum. ~1.5 years old.

Recently, my MB couldn't talk to one of my HDDs. I used an SATA->PCIe adapter board and diagnosed the MB with a failed SATA controller. I warrantied the MB.
Then I started experiencing random system freezes/reboots. I found that the RAM was throwing lots of errors. I tried using spare RAM, Teamgroup 3600, but the system was still freezing/rebooting. I warrantied the MB again.
The system was still unstable, so I warrantied the CPU. The previous Ripjaws kit was still throwing memory errors, albeit less frequently in memtest. So I'm warrantying the kit out. But the system is no more stable with the known good Teamgroup kit than the RipJaws one.

I considered that maybe the Linux Kernel could tell me what's going on, so I forwarded the dmesg output to another system. The messages are fairly benign. The last one is a bit weird though:
Code: fuse: init (API version 7.38)
XFS (XXX): Mounting V5 Filesystem fc937b2e-b4c7-46a8-9cd7-2a9e5ed1fc44
XFS (XXX): Ending clean mount
xfs filesystem being mounted at XXX supports timestamps until 2038 (0x7fffffff)
ahci 0000:02:00.1: port does not support device sleep I'm out of ideas as to what's going on. Does anyone have some suggestions as to how I can find out what the real root cause(s) of my system freezes/reboots are?

Thanks!
