Mesa

• Guest configuration for Fedora25:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-libglvnd --enable-selinux --enable-gallium-osmesa --with-dri-driverdir=/usr/lib64/dri --enable-gl --disable-gles1 --enable-gles2 --disable-xvmc --with-egl-platforms=drm,x11,surfaceless,wayland --enable-shared-glapi --enable-gbm --enable-glx-tls --enable-texture-float=yes --enable-gallium-llvm --enable-llvm-shared-libs --enable-dri --with-gallium-drivers=i915,nouveau,r300,svga,swrast,virgl --with-dri-drivers=swrast,nouveau

• Another configuration I had saved, probably for 32-bit version

  ./configure --build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-asm --enable-selinux --enable-osmesa --with-dri-driverdir=/usr/lib/dri --enable-egl --disable-gles1 --enable-gles2 --disable-xvmc --with-egl-platforms=x11,drm --enable-shared-glapi --enable-gbm --disable-opencl --enable-glx-tls --enable-texture-float=yes --enable-gallium-llvm --enable-dri --enable-xa --with-gallium-drivers=svga,radeonsi,swrast,r600,r300,nouveau,virgl --with-dri-drivers=nouveau,radeon,r200,i915,i965

• Knowing if you run Wayland or Xorg:

  loginctl # To get session number, generally 2 as used below
  
  loginctl show-session 2 -p Type
  

Common setup tasks

• SELinux and NFS/virtualization:

  setsebool -P virt_use_nfs 1

• Setup RHEL system:

  subscription-manager register
  
  subscription-manager attach --auto
  subscription-manager repos --enable="rhel-6-server-rpms"
  subscription-manager repos --enable="rhel-6-server-optional-rpms"
  subscription-manager repos --enable="rhel-6-server-supplementary-rpms"

• Resetting NVRAM boot information on Shuttle:

  efibootmgr -c -w -L Fedora -d /dev/sdb -p 1 -l '\EFI\fedora\shim.efi'
  

Creating disk image

• Linux / QEMU

  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /data/systems/storage-pool/FS.qcow2 80G

Spice-gtk for Mac

• Configuration

  CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/jpeg-turbo/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2j/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/jpeg-turbo/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2j/lib"  ./configure --enable-vala
  

QCow2 image file checks

Lifted straight from Red Hat Bugzilla 1435315:

• Simple check: qemu-img check file.qcow2

• Convert file: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 original.qcow2 -O raw target.raw which can uncover some problems by reading all data on disk.

• Accessing guest data: guestfish --ro -a original.qcow2 -i. The --ro option adds an overlay protecting the disk.

• virt-ls -lR -a original.qcow2 --checksum will read and compute a checksum of every file. A bit lengthy, I guess.

Building Package remotely

Account on fedoraproject.org. Building with:

fedpkg clone mesa

fedpkg --dist f25 build --scratch --srpm

Build single package

fedpkg build --scratch --srpm

Alternative (local build):

dnf download --source

Quick copy-paste for creating VM

• virt-install -n f29-shuttle -r 2048 -w type=direct,source=enp5s0,model=virtio --disk size=20 --cdrom /data/systems/ISO/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-29-1.2.iso 

Setup for Fedora dev

kinit ddd@FEDORAPROJECT.ORG

echo ddd > ~/.fedora.upn
Copy ~/.config/copr

udev

udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sda

udevadm info -a -p /sys/block/sda

SELinux

Use ps -eZ to get security info from ps

Namespaces

Running a runtime directly: crun run --bundle /root/fedora test

Use lsns to list namespaces Use nsenter -t -n -m -p to enter a namespace

Network

Abuse nc for simple testing ss to investigate sockets
