Is there any way to tell if a drive's been encrypted or not? I want to blow away this LMDE build and replace it with something else, but I don't remember if I encrypted the data drive or not.

If you can mount the drive without decrypting it, then it isn't encrypted.

Haha! This exchange made me laff. e: More seriously, if you think you've used luks to encrypt it you can run 'cryptsetup luksDump' in a terminal to examine the luks header. Use 'lsblk -p' to see your devices and if you have some listings for /dev/mapper/xxxxxx then there's more than likely some encrypted partitions there. For example if 'lsblk -p' shows /dev/sda3 as containing some partitions mounted on /dev/mapper then the chances are that /dev/sda3 is a luks encrypted partition. use 'cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda3' to check. If you're using some other stuff other than luks then I dunno offhand. E: realised that this advice regarding the device mapper is somewhat bollocks, as you'd have devices mapped regardless of whether you're using encryption but still, it shouldn't be hard to find out. apropos man fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Apr 10, 2017 |

Company I work for has been using Redhat on production servers for years, and CentOS on our local development VMs. There's a big push to move everything to AWS and they are proposing we use Amazon Linux. I want to keep using Redhat since local VMs running CentOS are such a big part of our dev workflow. I haven't heard any good reasons why we'd want to use Amazon Linux instead, and I'm not finding a lot of information out there in my googling. What do you guys think?

I have a Thinkpad laptop where one of the USB ports allegedly will charge (my phone) faster than the other ports, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It came with windows installed originally, but I'm running Linux mint 18.1 on it now. I'm wondering if the OS USB host driver has control over that sort of thing and Linux is just not configured correctly to utilize it.

Are you sure it's not just a port that's allowed to charge your device while the laptop is powered off or asleep/hibernating?

That single USB port could be on it's own bus, therefore it could have access to a bit more juice than the other (shared) bus. That's the first place I'd be looking. Which Thinkpad model is it? I'd be interested in poking around in the manual/docs.

I'm wondering if the OS USB host driver has control over that sort of thing and Linux is just not configured correctly to utilize it. What are you trying to charge? To really fast-charge you want something that is putting out at least 2 amps at 5v, and a quick read of the USB specifications suggests that even a USB 3.0 port isn't going to put out more than 1.5 amps. I haven't checked to see if there is a noticeable difference in the charging between my USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, largely because I use a charger plugged into a power strip next to my desk for charging my phone and tablet. Check the charger for whatever you are plugging into the laptop and see what the amp rating on it is. My newest phone and tablet chargers both put out at least 2.1 amps, which it doesn't look like USB ports are configured to reach.

No, to get the fast charging you're going to need a dedicated charge device. USB spec can't deliver the amps modern phones ask for, which is why none of the high output stuff can handle data.

I'm wondering if the OS USB host driver has control over that sort of thing and Linux is just not configured correctly to utilize it. I know what you're talking about and that's my understanding too. IIRC the logic works like this - USB devices actually need to negotiate their power delivery. The base standard is something super low (5V100mA = 0.5W?). The base standard requires that ports allow negotiating up to 5V@1A = 5W. However there are additional power delivery specs which allow the device and port to negotiate much higher levels (up to 20V @ 5A = 100W). Later specs might also have integrated some of these power-delivery requirements, which is one possible answer to your question. That said - there's no guarantee that your device will actually attempt to negotiate that much power. Or that the device and port can agree on doing so - typically this involves stepping up the voltage, and if your device doesn't have USB-C support it may not really support that level of step-down conversion (and even then, it may not negotiate that over a non-Type-C connection). Honest answer? It's meant to allow you to plug in a 2.5" or 3.5" HDD to a single port without needing one of those splitter cables to plug into 2 ports to get enough power. External HDDs run at 12V internally, so stepping up the voltage at the bus is the obvious answer. But yeah, I know from my Thinkpad that it's definitely possible to toggle the yellow USB port on the back to stay on all the time, while it is not possible on the USB 3.0 ports on the left side. I've always attributed this to a different reason - the USB 3.0 ports are basically on a separate controller chip since the PCH did not integrate USB 3.0 functionality at that time the chassis was designed (510-series generation). As such, you can't boot from them, they don't stay powered when the laptop is off, etc.

The big reason would be that Amazon Linux and CentOS are very different distros at this point. So your dev and prod environments would not be comparable and testing will be a pain. I would push to just run CentOS everywhere. If they find Amazon Linux acceptable then clearly they don't care about the support angle for RHEL. So no reason to pay more for it.

Is there a cross shell/x/wayland way of setting up environment variables for your entire session? X had .xprofile (or some other .x prefixed script). But that's not gonna work with wayland. .pam_environment is meant to work on login, but for some reason I've only seen it work on second login for me (and this is without encrypted home). And then, what's the correct way of setting environment vars based on application output (primarily gpg-agent setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK)? It seems like wayland fixes some things. But breaks a load of others in the process. What could once have been done by a host of smaller components, now you have to wait for your WM (rather, compositor) to implement because it now does everything.

I'm apparently able to find thousands of videos/articles except the one I actually need. Can your machines ping each other? You may need to turn on device discovery on windows for it to automatically appear, just search device discovery in the start menu. You can use either NFS or Samba for your file share, samba is probably what you want so: Go through the usual process of sharing a folder in windows. Create a folder, right click properties. Sharing > Share. Type in 'everyone' and give it Read/Write. Then on your Fedora side yum install samba-client then try to navigate to smb://<ipOfWindows>/<shareName>. You might be prompted for credentials. In that case it's <windows hostname>\<windows username>

And transferring files with SCP is horrendously redious when you can just mount the share and use the file the same way you use any other file on the computer. And millions of companies seem to manage to use SMB shares without major problems. At work we have tens of thousands of users using our SMB shares daily and they haven't been a security problem since Blaster. Except just in the past month when we've tried to disable SMB1 and all sort of stuff stopped working.

I'm doing it the other way round and have an smb share running on an Ubuntu box. I restricted it to password access in smb.conf just so that when I want to pull a file into Windows I have to type a password. It's no biggie and mitigates Windows doing anything to my smb files of its own accord.

In my experience installing an SSH server on windows is easier than getting SMB to work reliably. Although right now I'm dealing with the opposite problem, where I'm running smbd on a linux machine and I can't mount it from windows -- it rejects all attempts to log in. It was working fine last week.

Yeah, in this case what happens is it asks for the password, I enter my username and password (set with `smbpasswd`), and it says "invalid login". I've tried both username and "WORKGROUP\username". It was working fine last week! I've been able to enable guest access, so I have read-only access and that's sufficient 99% of the time, but still. It's aggravating, and aggravations like this are characteristic of every time I've tried to use SMB even when all the machines involved are running the same version of windows.
