Unable to Add Attachment to PM or Post and Kicked Out of Editor


Recommended Posts

--Update--

I also cannot add the guide to a post.  Blocked with the same screen, but upon returning to the thread the content is still in the editor.

 

While attempting to attach a .txt file in a PM, the attacment errored out with a -200 error code forcing me to close the message and then open it again to get rid of the failed attachment.  This worked without issue a few days ago. 

After the attachment failed I than pasted the text into the editor, and after spending quite some time reformatting, I was greeted with the below screen after hitting send. 

Next I fired up a different browser, tried pasting the text into a code block, but I got hit with the same screen, just with a different Cloud Flare Ray ID: 69c425165eddfeaa

 

OS: Arch Linux

Browsers: Chromium and Firefox

Extensions: Disabled while trying to send the PM

Thanks for the report. We will take a look into why this is triggering our security and get back to you.

I certainly can.  It won't be until later this afternoon, but I'll give it a go and let you know the results.

No problems 🙂

Sorry I forgot to report back.  I did try it again, but the result was more or less the same.  I will give it another test in this post.

 

*Test 1 with Firefox* With the text pasted into a code block in a spoiler, I was sent to a captcha page, completed the captcha, and then it just kicked me back without submitting the reply.  All of the content was still in the editor.

 

*Test 2 with Firefox* Attaching the .txt file to this post resulted in the same -200 error

 

*Test 3 with Chromium* Attaching the file failed with the -200 error.  Pasting the text into a code block did work after completing a captcha.

--Since Arch doesn't enable most systemd units by default, the foldingathome-nvidia.service should be enabled to run at boot, but the actual foldingathome.service can either be enabled to run at boot or it can just be started manually--
--Run F@H at boot--
$ sudo systemctl enable --now foldingathome-nvidia.service
    ## Recent changes to the F@H package run the service in a somewhat more secure way.  One consequence of that, is that there were issues with the client and NVIDIA GPU detection. There is a 60 second wait in the foldingathome-nvidia.service to ensure that NVIDIA GPUs are recognized and the foldingathome.service will only run after the nvidia.service
$ sudo systemctl enable --now foldingathom.service

--Misc commands to control the F@H client--
$ sudo systemctl stop foldingathome  ## Shuts down the F@H client
$ sudo systemctl start foldingathome  ## Starts the F@H client if it is not auto-started at boot or if the client was shutdown
$ FAHClient --send-pause  ## Pauses all slots
$ FAHClient --send-unpause  ## Resumes all slots
$ FAHClient --send-finish  ## Finishes current WUs and pauses all slots
    ## Append the slot number after the command to control individual slots e.g. $ FAHClient --send-pause 01
$ journalctl -b0 -u foldingathome  ## Prints the F@H log from the current boot to the terminal with less
$ journalctl -f -u foldingathome  ## Follows the F@H log and prints newlines to the terminal
$ journalctl -b0 -u foldingathome -g nan ## Searches the F@H log from the current boot for nan errors.  Helpful to diagnose a not quite stable OC.  Can be compared to power usage and/or temperature logs to narrow down the cause of the errors


--Maintenance should be pretty minimal unless NVIDIA blows up the driver.  The F@H client rarely gets updated, so it's really just a matter of running pacman -Syu every few weeks and rebooting. Maybe check the Arch News Feed: https://archlinux.org/news/ for any actual breaking bugs before updating, but other than that it should just fold away.--

--Create empty xorg.conf with fan, clock, and voltage control enabled--
$ sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration --enable-all-gpus
$ reboot

--To control GPU fans, clocks, performance modes, etc. a minimal xserver needs to be running. If all values are flashed to a custom BIOS then there is no need to run an X server--

--Install minimal packages to use startx, .xinitrc, or lightdm--
$ sudo pacman -S xorg-xinit lightdm

--To set GPU clocks, fans, and any other nvidia-settings commands a minimal xserver must be running. lightdm can serve this purpose, alternatively scripts could be used to run the necessary commands with xinit--
$ sudo systemctl enable --now lightdm
$ reboot

--Login from the tty or over ssh and OC GPU.  There are ways to do this without being root, but with a minimal install and nothing else running on the system, I just use root--
$ su
# export DISPLAY=:0
# export XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/:0

--Set fan speed, OC GPU, or use any other nvidia-settings--  List of most of the options: $ man nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings -q fans
# nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1 -a [fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=XX
    ##Some GPUs will have multiple fan controllers, repeat command changing the fan number for any additional fans

--Set GPU core and memory clock offsets--
# nvidia-settings -c :0 -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[4]=XX'  ## Depending on the GPU you might need to change [4] to [3] or [2] 
# nvidia-settings -c :0 -a '[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[4]=XXX'

--Enable persistence mode and set max power limit-- Full list of nvidia-smi options: $ man nvidia-smi
# nvidia-smi -pm 1  ##Persistence mode will keep all power limit settings active regardless of whether there is an app running on the GPU
--Find and set max power limit--
# nvidia-smi -q | grep 'Max Power Limit'
# nvidia-smi -pl XXX

--Exit root shell--
# exit

--Most remote monitoring utilities can hook into nvidia-smi to get GPU stats--

--Use git to grab the source files from the AUR--
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/foldingathome.git  ##Arch Wiki F@H - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Folding@home

--Since Arch doesn't enable most systemd units by default, the foldingathome-nvidia.service should be enabled to run at boot, but the actual foldingathome.service can either be enabled to run at boot or it can just be started manually--
--Run F@H at boot--
$ sudo systemctl enable --now foldingathome-nvidia.service
    ## Recent changes to the F@H package run the service in a somewhat more secure way.  One consequence of that, is that there were issues with the client and NVIDIA GPU detection. There is a 60 second wait in the foldingathome-nvidia.service to ensure that NVIDIA GPUs are recognized and the foldingathome.service will only run after the nvidia.service
$ sudo systemctl enable --now foldingathom.service

--Misc commands to control the F@H client--
$ sudo systemctl stop foldingathome  ## Shuts down the F@H client
$ sudo systemctl start foldingathome  ## Starts the F@H client if it is not auto-started at boot or if the client was shutdown
$ FAHClient --send-pause  ## Pauses all slots
$ FAHClient --send-unpause  ## Resumes all slots
$ FAHClient --send-finish  ## Finishes current WUs and pauses all slots
    ## Append the slot number after the command to control individual slots e.g. $ FAHClient --send-pause 01
$ journalctl -b0 -u foldingathome  ## Prints the F@H log from the current boot to the terminal with less
$ journalctl -f -u foldingathome  ## Follows the F@H log and prints newlines to the terminal
$ journalctl -b0 -u foldingathome -g nan ## Searches the F@H log from the current boot for nan errors.  Helpful to diagnose a not quite stable OC.  Can be compared to power usage and/or temperature logs to narrow down the cause of the errors


--Maintenance should be pretty minimal unless NVIDIA blows up the driver.  The F@H client rarely gets updated, so it's really just a matter of running pacman -Syu every few weeks and rebooting. Maybe check the Arch News Feed: https://archlinux.org/news/ for any actual breaking bugs before updating, but other than that it should just fold away.--

 

 

Thanks for the feedback bud. Could you re-screenshot the error ? Just so we can reference log files our end and investigate further.

So after looking into it, it is the contents of the txt file which our security does not like, so in order to get around this simply archive the file and upload 🙂

Thanks for looking into it E, and archiving similar files is an easy workaround. 👍

Darn Linux users ruining it for everyone 😛  No problems. Most txt uploads will work but once assume it is the commands etc inside the txt file the firewall simply does not like, I mean it makes sense.
