I currently use Fedora 30 Gnome install.
If you have the most recent Fedora use it, else do upgrade at this time.

Make sure that you have rpm fusion installed (free and non-free)

run, but then install rpmfusion

We need to configure:
- hosts
#!/bin/bash
#set hostname and static ip
hostnamectl set-hostname <fully qualified host name>
nmcli connection mod ‘Wired connection 1’ ipv4.address 192.168.1.0/24
nmcli connection mod ‘Wired connection 1’ ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.253
nmcli connection mod ‘Wired connection 1’ ipv4.dns 75.75.75.75
nmcli connection mod ‘Wired connection 1’ ipv4.method manual - nmcli connection down ‘Wired connection 1’
nmcli connection up ‘Wired connection 1’ - systemctl restart NetworkManager
- echo checkingecho $HOSTNAME
nmcli device show enp0s31f6
ip addr show - ip a show enp0s31f6
- cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s31f6
- Fix hosts:
- Either install a dns server in your lan or configure hosts to take care of addressing
- Get the adblocker
- cd /root
cd /root/data
wget http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt
cp hosts.txt /etc/hosts.adblocker.txt
(cleanup by removing the lines which contain references to ipv4 and ipv6 localhost.)
create /root/hosts-fix.sh containing:
#!/bin/bash
dos2unix data/hosts.txt
sed -r
‘s:0.0.0.0:127.0.0.1:g’ /etc/hosts.adblocker.txt >>
/etc/hosts
This will protect you from certain ransomware and block a lot of ads.
3. If you need to block ipv6 so that you don’t use it (ie, your isp has partially implemented it.):
add a file called /etc/modprobe.d
containing one line
install ipv6 /bin/true
then type:
chkconfig ip6tables off
Re-initialize networking.
systemctl restart NetworkManager
5.Get ssh working
systemctl start sshd
6. add network printers
hp-setup
7. Install and configure tripwire
See this article
8. Usb backups
9. Dropbox
10. mysql
service mariadb start < starts mysql background
process >
chkconfig mariadb on < makes sure thay mysql
will start when your computer reboots
mysql -u root
mysql
update user set password=PASSWORD(‘newpass’) where
user = ‘root’;
\q
firewall-config to make sure port is open
How to move the mariadb to a new location.
in this example, I decided to move mariadb to /home/mariadb, because I have more disk space on /home.
10.1 Stop the db server
systemctl stop mariadb
10.2 copy the db to the new location:
[Note: mariadb saves files in the same direcory that mysql used to use.]
rsync -av -r –del /var/lib/mysql /home/mariadb
note – no trailing “/” on file names.
10.3 Fixownership/selinux issues
chown -R mysql.mysql /home/mariadb
chcon -R -t mysqld_db_t /home/mariadb
ls -lZ /home/mariadb
10.4 Change config file pointers
in file /etc/my.cnf.d/mariadb-server.cnf
datadir=/home/mariadb/mysql
(note do not change socket, else permissions problems)
10.5 Test
systemctl start mariab
mysql -u root -p
11. In your user account create .bashrc containing:
# .bashrc
alias rm=’rm -i’
alias cp=’cp -i’
alias mv=’mv
-i’
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
.
/etc/bashrc
fi
# User specific
environment
PATH=”$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$HOME/bin/buff:$PATH”
export
PATH
# User specific aliases and functions
PS1=”\[\A \u@\h:\w\]
$ ”
# java path
export
CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/miglayout-core.jar:/usr/share/java/miglayout-swing.jar:/usr/lib/java/mariadb-java-client.jar:/home/wlperry/bin/ptp/
#python path
13. Samba
firewall-cmd –add-service=samba –permantent
firewall-cmd –reload
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on
adduser -m <user>
smbpasswd -a user
smbclient //server u user
service smb
start
chkconfig smb on
chkconfig nmb on
14 Register Gnome-boxes
If you have gnome-boxes and you have backed them up per instruction here, copy xml files and box images from backup to .local/share/gnome-boxes/images
run this command on all boxes
virsh define box.xml
15. eclipse
project languages
c, c++
java
perl
fortran
cobol
python
php
16. backup (in /root)
crontab -e
# hr min day mon dow command
02 05
* * * dnf -y update
03 05 * * * /usr/sbin/tripwire –check
add rsync backup script also.
17. Some notes regarding tools:
gnome-system-log
firewall-config
nm-connection-editor
ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id
install hplip hplip-gui
use command hp-setup to configure printers
