A quick tip how to edit a service unit file under a c system like CentOS Stream 9 or Ubuntu. The best way is to edit it with the the tool “systemctl edit [service_name]”, which will trigger the default editor to open a temporary copy of the systemd unit file with the service name used with it. The default editor in the console is controlled by “EDITOR” variable and may be changed prior using the systemctl edit. After a successful manipulation of the system unit file the new one will be installed and a reload of the systemd unit files will be triggered with “systemctl daemon-reload” automatically. Indeed, it is just a text edit of a text file, which will do several actions when using “systemctl edit” command. systemctl cat service
systemd options ro restart a service on fail are:
[Service]
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5s
Here, the example is to add a restart-on-fail functionality to the nfs-ganesha service (NFS service). The systemctl edit may be used for many other changes to the systemd unit file under the console and it is the easiest and proper way.
SCREENSHOT 1) Use “systemctl edit” to edit a copy of the systemd override unit file.
do not insert anything at the end of the comments or below the second red line comments – “### Lines below this comment will be discarded”. This temporary override file includes a systemd unit file of the service, which is opened for editing. The result override.conf file will only include the added lines, no other comments shown below the second red line. systemctl edit opened Keep on reading!
When sending syslog packets to a remote server the time-zone of the current server may lead to problems because the syslog-ng program sets the time-zone with offset number according to the GMT. The remote server, especially if not a syslog-ng one, may interpret the offset as an offset to the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), which leads times with an hour into the future. configuration in syslog-ng
Note, this whole problem is because of the Daylight saving time and there are almost 6 months when the GMT is not equal to the UTC and it is an hour ahead. Probably it is not a good idea to offset according to the GMT, because of the Daylight saving time during the summer, but this is on the syslog-ng development side.
There is one option time-zone(“[time_zone_string]”), which allows to change the time-zone of the destination packets. To avoid misinterprets of the date and time in the message packets the best way is to use it with UTC, so the local system will do the all necessary to convert the local time to UTC properly.
The configuration below uses time-zone(“[time_zone_string]”) from the current local time to UTC, because the current local time zone is EEST (Eastern European Summer Time), which 3 hours ahead of UTC during the summer period and 2 during winter (Eastern European Time – EET).
Relay the local web server logs from the local UDP port to the remote server using reliable TCP connection and changing the local time to UTC of the packets.
the time_zone(“UTC”) in destination rule will ensure the packets has proper time related to the local server’s time in UTC and the mistake of misinterpreted date time is unluckily on a remote server.

This article an updated version of Send coins in Groestlcoin network with Groestlcoin Core (cli), because it appeared many things handling the wallets with the command-line have changed. groestlcoin-cli sendtoaddress
The basic notes to send and receive are:
a Groestlcoin address is required.
a Groestlcoin wallet contains Groestlcoin address
the Groestlcoin wallet application (i.e. Groestlcoin node, it is the same application) needs a synchronized Groestlcoin to operate properly, such as send and receive Groestlcoin coins.
the Groestlcoin wallet may be created, loaded or imported with the Groestlcoin tools.
if there is only one Groestlcoin wallet loaded it would be the default one and it would not require additional options to the Groestlcoin tool to specify, which wallet would be used for the current command.
Here are the steps needed to transfer funds under the Linux distro of Ubuntu securely. To be able to transfer money securely without any 3rd party involved (no online wallet or wallets, which is unclear which node they connect to) just funds from your personal Groestlcoin wallet address on your computer to another Groestlcoin wallet address it is needed a running Groestlcoin node using Groestlcoin Core command line tool:groestlcoin-cli – this is command line tool for managing the Groestlcoin wallets.
STEP 1) Install and run a Groestlcoin node with groestlcoind
The first step is to start a Groestlcoin node by following this updated article – Building from source and run a Groestlcoin node (cli only) under Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It will help the user to build from the official source code the Groestlcoin Core software, which will include the Groestlcoin node and wallet functionalities. All of the file paths and application names are real and correct if the above article was used.
It’s worth mentioning, that the Groestlcoin node must be running and synced with the Groestlcoin network. Here is how to check it:
In continuation to the article Building from source and run a Groestlcoin node (cli only) under Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which offers only a command line management to the Groestlcoin wallets, this article will show a more convenient way with a graphical user interface. Groistlcoin Core software includes a graphical user interface for the Groestlcoin wallet. node window synced with network
The first thing is to build the Groestlcoin Core software as shown in the link above with some additional dependencies and options.
It’s worth noting there is a package for the graphical Groestlcoin wallet on the official site of Groestlcoin, but the idea behind this series of articles is to build everything from the official source code and to run an own Groestlcoin node, which will be used for the user’s Groestlcoin wallet. Such no trusting anyone or any site, but only the official source code of the project. The security is really important in the crypto world.
Here are the steps to build and run the Groestlcoin node with wallet functionality – command line and graphical user interface. The graphical user interface uses QT5 to build the wallet interface and all libraries are included in the official Ubuntu repositories.
First, install the dependencies but with additional libraries including the QT5 and qrencode. Update the system and install the needed additional binaries and libraries to build and run the Groestlcoin core package. These dependencies include the ones needed to build the Groestcoin wallet functionality with GUI! By default, many Linux systems won’t even include dependencies needed to build the wallet.
This article an updated version of Generate a new Groestlcoin address (wallet) and list accounts and addresses, because it appeared many things handling the wallets and address with the command-line have changed. new wallet and address
The generation of a new Groestlcoin address is relatively simple, just use the command line tool – groestlcoin-cli, which is a Groestlcoin Core RPC client talking to the Groestlcoin node. So a working and synchronized Groestlcoin node is needed. Check out Building from source and run a Groestlcoin node (cli only) under Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for more information how to build and run a Groestlcoin node.
DO NOT TRUST any online website or any other Internet source to generate your Groestlcoin wallet address for you. DO IT YOURSELF with the official software from the official site!
If the user followed the above link to build and run a Groestlcoin and has waited to synchronize, it is time to use the groestlcoin-cli to create a wallet and then generate addresses. In fact, the wallet contains Groestlcoin addresses and it may be encrypted for better security. The Groestlcoin node is running and synchronized.
STEP 1) Create a new or load an old Groestlcoin wallet.
There is no default wallet and no wallet is loaded automatically on start, by default (indeed a wallet may be automatically loaded, but it should be specified on loading).
List all the Groestlcoin wallets under the current user:
myuser@mydesktop:~$ cd groestlcoin-core/bin/
myuser@mydesktop:~/groestlcoin-core/bin$ ./groestlcoin-cli listwallets
[
]
myuser@mydesktop:~/groestlcoin-core/bin$ ./groestlcoin-cli listwalletdir
{
"wallets": [
]
}
myuser@mydesktop:~/groestlcoin-core/bin$ ./groestlcoin-cli listaddressgroupings
error code: -18
error message:
No wallet is loaded. Load a wallet using loadwallet or create a new one with createwallet. (Note: A default wallet is no longer automatically created)
Apparently, there are no wallets, so here is how to create a wallet:
Create a wallet with:
myuser@mydesktop:~/groestlcoin-core/bin$ ./groestlcoin-cli createwallet my-groestlcoin-wallet
{
"name": "my-groestlcoin-wallet"
}
myuser@mydesktop:~/groestlcoin-core/bin$ ./groestlcoin-cli encryptwallet 'joo8laeW9Chietae&phu'
wallet encrypted; The keypool has been flushed and a new HD seed was generated (if you are using HD). You need to make a new backup.
When creating one wallet, it will become the default one, and all commands on groestlcoin-cli will use it. To specify exactly the name of the wallet with the command, the option “-rpcwallet=” should be used. In general, with one wallet there is no need to specify the wallet name, but when there are two or more loaded wallets, it is mandatory to specify with “-rpcwallet=” the wallet name.
Creating one more wallet with groestlcoin-cli will result in two loaded wallets, so after that, all commands should include “-rpcwallet=”.
myuser@mydesktop:~/groestlcoin-core/bin$ ./groestlcoin-cli createwallet my-groestlcoin-wallet-2
{
"name": "my-groestlcoin-wallet-2"
}
myuser@mydesktop:~/groestlcoin-core/bin$ ./groestlcoin-cli -rpcwallet="my-groestlcoin-wallet-2" encryptwallet "ief0ahshao8ca8Dai-ng"
wallet encrypted; The keypool has been flushed and a new HD seed was generated (if you are using HD). You need to make a new backup.

It was a bit while after the Building from source a Groestlcoin node (cli only) under Ubuntu 16 LTS. So after 6 years is it the same procedure or there are additional or simplified steps (to build) and run a cryptocurrencyGroestlcoin node? The GRS price seems the same as it was 6 years ago, but there are some new things in the software. groestlcoin-cli getblockchaininfo
The first step is to build the software and it is one of the most important steps – download the source code ONLY from the official source, check the official site https://www.groestlcoin.org/groestlcoin-core-wallet/ where the source code could be downloaded or to see where is the official place for the source code – https://github.com/Groestlcoin/groestlcoin. Check the links yourself! The https://github.com/Groestlcoin/groestlcoin git link will be used to download the latest stable version of the code and to build a Groestlcoin node, which may or may not include wallet capabilities. Building the Groestlcoin core package from the source you’ll have your private and secure Groestlcoin node (and wallet), which could be used to make secure transactions and receive funds in the Groestlcoin network and a lot more! DO IT YOURSELF – the most secure way of generating a Groestlcoin wallet address, making transactions such as sending and receiving coins, and storing your wallets.
STEP 1) Update your system and install dependencies
Update your system and install the needed additional binaries and libraries to build and run the Groestlcoin core package. These dependencies include the ones needed to build the Groestcoin wallet functionality! By default, many Linux systems won’t include dependencies needed to build the wallet. sudo apt install groestlcoin dependencies
After the tutorial on how to install Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop this tutorial is mainly to see what to expect from a freshly installed Fedora 36 Xfce Desktop – the look and feel of the new Xfce GUI (Xfce version – 4.18). The Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop is part of Fedora spins – https://spins.fedoraproject.org/xfce/
Here you can find out how to install it – Install Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop.
The idea of this article is to see what to expect from Fedora 38 Xfce – the look and feel of the GUI, the default installed programs, and their look and how to do some basic steps with them. Here you’ll find more than 170 screenshots and not so many texts we do not want to turn this review of many texts and version information and 3 meaningless screenshots, which you could not see anything for the user interface because these days it is the primary goal of a Desktop system. You can expect more of this kind of review in the future.
This article is the first part of reviewing the Fedora 36 Xfce Desktop. The second article contains Xfce Settings screenshots that are coming soon.
Xfce is a collection of programs that provides a features-rich desktop environment.
Here are some core elements:
Window Manager (xfwm4) – Handles the placement of windows on the screen.
Panel (xfce4-panel) – Provides a home for window buttons, launchers, app menu and more.
Desktop Manager (xfdesktop) – Sets desktop backgrounds, handles icons and more.
File Manager (thunar) – Manages your files in a modern, easy-to-use and fast way.
Volume Manager (thunar-volman) – Manages removable drives and media for Thunar.
Session Manager (xfce4-session) – Saves and restores your session, handles startup, autostart and shutdown.
Setting System (xfce4-settings) – Configures appearance, display, keyboard, and mouse settings.
Application Finder (xfce4-appfinder) – Quickly finds and launches applications installed on your system
Settings Daemon (xfconf) – Stores your settings in a D-Bus-based configuration system.
A Menu Library (garcon) – Implements a freedesktp.org compliant menu based on GLib and GIO.
Thumbnails Services (tumbler) – Implements the thumbnails management D-Bus specification.
This article will show the simple steps of installing a modern Linux Distribution – Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop with Xfce for the graphical user interface – one of the alternatives, which tries to break the domination of GNOME and partly KDE Plasma. First, it is offered the basic steps for installing the Operating system and then there are some screenshots of the installed system and its look and feel. Here is another article available with more screenshots of the installed and working Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop – Review of freshly installed Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop.
Xfce offers a fast, easy, and lightweight graphical environment for Linux systems and Fedora teams bring it out-of-the-box with their spins projects – Fedora Xfce Spin
This is the simplest setup. One hard disk device in the system is installed, which is detected as sda and the entire disk will be used for the installation of Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop. All disk information in sda disk device will be permanently deleted by the installation wizard!
The Fedora 38 Xfce Desktop comes with:
linux kernel – 6.2.9
Xorg X11 server – 1.20.14 and Xorg X11 server XWayland 22.1.9 is used by default
We used the following ISO for the installation process: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/38/Spins/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso
The ISO may be burnt on a disk or written on a USB stick. Just boot up from it.
The simplest way to make a bootable USB drive is to just use the Linux command dd. First, download the ISO file above and then plug the USB drive into the computer and find out the device name, it should be something of /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc (execute the dmesg command in the console and check the last lines for the USB drive detection and its device name like /dev/sd?). After knowing the USB device name issue the dd command to overwrite it with the ISO. Note, all data will be lost if you use the following command with the device name mentioned in the command line.
The USB flash drive should have at least 4G space. Using the dd command will overwrite the data on the USB drive without warning or confirmation!
The user can check what device name the just-plugged USB Drive has with dmesg console command:
myuser@mydesktop ~ # dmesg|tail -n 20
