Why can't I unlock from the KDE's screen locking program?
Because KDE's screen locking program needs to read the password in the user domain while all user domains are not allowed to read password by the security policy. Please turn off KDE's screen locking program and run XScreenSaver instead.
The XScreenSaver is available for KDE.

Why when I download omarine-6.1-dvd.iso, there is a login dialog with username and password?
Because at that time there were too many clients downloading simultaneously. Our server limits MaxClients to 30 by default. We will increase this value at the appropriate time (when the server is idle).

How to run wireshark properly?
In order to use wireshark, you need to ensure the following:
1) Add the user to the wireshark group, as the root user
usermod -a -G wireshark <username>
2) The SELinux user is staff_u
3) Turn on the condition allow_wireshark, as the root user
setsebool -P allow_wireshark on
(Suppose you have updated the policy using omarine-update, otherwise switch to permissive mode, as the root user: setenforce 0)
4) Optional. Stop your firewall, eg (as the root user)
systemctl stop firewall@wlp

What package manager does Omarine come with? I executed # yum update but yum : command not found is the output.
The package manager is RPM. Did you mean an automatic update program? We plan to build Omarine Update 3.0, similar to the Omarine Update we have built for Omarine 2.0 before.

My system has problems after upgrading some packages!
In SELinux, these problems is usually caused by the file system being mislabeled. You create file /.autorelabel and reboot.
Note: If you can not login through the graphical login screen, you can still switch to another virtual console by simultaneously pressing keys Ctrl-Alt-Fn (n = 1, 2, 3, ...). If you still can not boot, specify enforcing=0 on the kernel command line.

What are the Login credentials? Name and Password?
The name is for the system to identify a valid account that the system has provided with certain access rights to the resource. Password used to authenticate the account. However, the password is only one of the login credentials. It is not as good as other methods and needs to be encrypted when going over the network. An example of secure login is to use ssh with the cryptographic keys. See https://omarine.org/2018/04/05/bring-omarine-to-a-cloud/ for more details.

These packages include Thunderbird. So, after installing Omarine 3.1 from omarine-3.1-dvd.iso, if you want to use Thunderbird and other packages below, download and install them:

How to use Clam AntiVirus program?
First you run the following command to initialize the virus database:
sudo freshclam
Then start the clamav-daemon service:
sudo systemctl enable clamav-daemon
sudo systemctl start clamav-daemon
To protect your Downloads directory with on-access prevention, run the following command:
sudo tee -a /etc/clamd.conf << EOF
ScanOnAccess yes
OnAccessIncludePath $HOME/Downloads
OnAccessPrevention yes
OnAccessMaxFileSize 100M
EOF
Then restart the clamav-daemon service:
sudo systemctl restart clamav-daemon
See clamd.conf(5) for more details.
To schedule a virus scan of your home directory automatically at 3 AM every day you run this command:
echo "1 3 * * * /usr/bin/clamdscan /home" \
| sudo tee -a /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
If you want to scan files and directories manually, you can use clamscan or clamdscan. For example, scanning the Downloads directory with the archive recursion level limit set to 20:
clamscan --max-recursion=20 ~/Downloads
See clamscan(1) and clamdscan(1) for more details.
Log files are located in /var/log/clamav.

The configuration file is /etc/sysconfig/ipstatic. It looks like this:
You modify the file then restart the computer.
Install JRE CA-Certificates (JRE Certificate Authority Certificates)
sudo rm -f /opt/jdk/jre/lib/security/cacerts &&
sudo makeca -f &&
sudo makeca-javaThe above commands will generate keystore /opt/jdk/jre/lib/security/cacerts.
The default password used to protect the integrity of the keystore is "changeit". To change the password you run this command:
sudo keytool -storepasswd -keystore /opt/jdk/jre/lib/security/cacertsOnce changed the password, you need to modify the makeca-java script for the next update:
sudo sed -e '/declare\s-i/i read -s -p "Enter keystore password: " storepassword\n' \
-e 's,changeit,$storepassword,' -i /usr/sbin/makeca-javaHave fun!
