Re: Kernel 4.1.4 breaks external display
Hi, I'm not running F21 anymore so I'm not sure if this apply but, did you check the updates-testing repo? Kernel 4.1.5 has been working very nice since the last couple of weeks or so.

Re: how do i pick up the new rpms in updates-testing?
Try refreshing your local cache: # dnf clean metadata expire-cache. If that doesn't work, a # dnf clean all should do it. If you still doesn't see the packages you're looking for then you'll have to wait for your mirrors to sync up.

It starts crawls when it sees a message something changed, but it can take it a few hours depending on how much changed. Once thats done, hourly there is a static file updated from the db and synced out to the mirrorlist servers. Once that pushes out with the new repomd.xml info in it you should see it in metalinks. While thats going on, mirrors are mirroring the master mirror on whatever schedule they do.

Re: Fedora22 Security Issue.
Hi, I recently came up with this 'issue' (not really an issue in fact, please read along) when I configured a Webmin panel on a CentOS 6.7 instance we use at work. Thing is that the sudo tool provides a configuration flag to deny a command execution if it's not being invoked from a console. Originally this was thought as an additional security layer but ultimately proved to be more a nuisance than anything else and that's why Red Hat decided to switch it off by default on newer releases starting with RHEL 7 (I don't know starting at which Fedora release though). To disable this check launch visudo, look for Defaultsrequiretty and comment the line. I believe that you can accomplish the same by adding the entry to a file in /etc/sudo.d/ but I didn't test it myself.

Luckily dnf works as expected here :P As of the multilib stuff check the conflicting packages, most likely they have been installed as dependencies from a third-party repository.

OK. yum-deprecated works very fast. A few seconds to install a program etc. However I am afraid that the dnf/yum database is somehow broken now. # time yum-deprecated update -- Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.: 1. You have an upgrade for elfutils-libs which is missing some dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to solve this by installing an older version of elfutils-libs of the different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with --exclude elfutils-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error message showing the root cause of the problem. 2. You have multiple architectures of elfutils-libs installed, but yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures. If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you can remove the one with the missing update and everything will work. 3. You have duplicate versions of elfutils-libs installed already. You can use yum check to get yum show these errors. ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing much more problems).

Re: Book Recommendation for Fedora users?
Hello James,
I would recommend you to start with any GNU+Linux manual (as 90% of what
you will learn there will apply to Fedora) to then learn the specifics
about the RHEL family.
A good starting point would be to define some projects (like 'put together
a home server'), set some goals ('configure NFS and Samba for file
sharing') then have fun while pulling your head's hair along the way, hehe.
Be sure to hang at Fedora's IRC channel, it's a nice place to ask and share
experiences.
Cheers.

Is the setting I need go in grub.cfg or in ks.cfg? Having never done this before, my guess is that with two NICs, you need to assign an IP to the NIC that's connecting to the VNC client. As it stands now, both NICs are going to try to get DHCP IPs. I'm going to assume that one NIC is actually seeing a DHCP server and will get an IP, DNS and route, the other one (the one connected to the VNC client) doesn't get an IP. So the kernel routing table only knows about one NIC being up and all traffic is going through it. I suspect you'll need to add an ip: parameter for the NIC connected to the VNC client to your boot line. The generic form of the option is: ip=ip::gateway:netmask:hostname:interface:none So, assuming the NIC's name is p4p1, something like: ip:10.1.1.2:::255.255.255.0::p4p1:none should set that NIC's IP to 10.1.1.2 with no route, a /24 netmask and no hostname. VNC should then know that 10.1.1.1 is connected to that NIC and should route accordingly. The other NIC should pick up a DHCP as normal. Again, I've never done this, so this is just a wild guess but seems likely. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - I was married by a judge.

Re: Disabling auditd on Fedora 22
Hi, One of the reasons I'm using Fedora is because the exceptional support for SELinux and auditd that so far - despite a known incompatibility with Docker + Btrfs - is working great. Said that, kudos to everyone who makes SELinux integration such smooth. On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 1:36 AM Kevin Wilson wkev...@gmail.com wrote: Dan, Thanks a lot for your reply. In fact, I ran pm -e selinux-policy-targeted rpm -e selinux-policy And after reboot I got some message about freeze from systemd, I could not login (tried twice), so I reinstalled Linux on this machine. The question is: what do you mean by If you disable SELinux. Does that mean adding selinux=0 on command line? Or is it enough to set, in /etc/selinux/config SELINUX=disabled (or maybe better is SELINUX=permissive, as Ali suggested ).

Re: what's the current standard for tools to security harden fedora/RHEL?
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora comes with a quite complete set of SELinux rules making the system quite secure OOTB, however as YMWV it won't hurt to keep an eye on SELinux alerts which you can track using the SELinux Troubleshooting application; there are also other quite useful SELinux related tools like the SELinux Policy Generation Tool and the SELinux Policy Management Tool that you definitely ought to check. Fedora also ships with Rkhunter and (IINM) Tripwire enabled by default. Alongside OSSEC mentioned by @SternData, which is a HIDS like Snort, there are simpler - but not because of that less useful - solutions like Lynis which performs a series of tests and walks you on how to tap the holes should you find any. Bear in mind that protecting a system is a complex task that involves several layers each of one cripples with varying degrees usability: you start by protecting the boot loader, encrypting the partitions, booting a hardened kernel, removing sudo, watching what services and daemons are listening to where, checking for appropriate owner permissions, compiling applications you will run by hardening them against overflows and so on. I believe that while most of GNU+Linux distributions are quite secure because they are just GNU+Linux, Fedora stands out as one of the most well prepared for defense (general-purpose) distribution you will find out there - big kudos to the security team for that. As a final note let me share an earthly example: A few days ago I needed to have WebEx *CRAP* working to attend a work's webinar; while I could get it working at work's computer (an Ubuntu workstation) I couldn't make it work on my personal laptop running Fedora 22 - at home I obviously run everything RHEL-related. To even 'worsen' things I wasn't receiving the alerts from the SELinux Troubleshooter as I don't use the full GNOME stack but rather i3wm. So when I figured out that SELinux could be behind this strange behaviour I indeed opened SELinux Troubleshooter and there they were, a bunch of alerts indicating that some processes were trying to do something potentially harmful. Once I whitelisted the involved WebEx processes to run in a contained sandbox everything went well and I could finally assist to my webinar. As you see, Fedora is quite safe OOTB. Again, kudos to everyone involved. And more important, thank you all. -M. On Tue, Jun 16, 2015 at 4:51 PM SternData subscribed-li...@sterndata.com wrote: On 06/16/2015 01:29 PM, Robert P. J.

Re: Does KDE do offline software updates?
Hello Richards, Quite interesting to actually talk to someone who actually has his hands dirty and can talk about this issue :) I remember reading a Lennart's post on his blog about a future when packages will be installing in their own spaces and all of this managed by systemd. Now my question (may be an innocent one, I'm full aware of that) is: Why a core technology piece like the kernel can be patched in place (and I hope we see this awesome feature implemented in the neigh time) but on the contrary there is so much trouble when trying to upgrade other 'simpler' (if you allow me) pieces of software? Damn, I believe that even systemd is designed in a way it can be hot-upgraded too without the need of rebooting the system...

I broke Yum (by messing with Python libs)
Hi all, After upgrading some python packages via pip I found I left Yum in a non-working state: There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: pycurl: libcurl link-time ssl backend (nss) is different from compile-time ssl backend (none/other) Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.7.8 (default, Nov 10 2014, 08:19:18) [GCC 4.9.2 20141101 (Red Hat 4.9.2-1)] // Now, what I did to fix the mess was: 1. Download python-pycurl-7.19.3.1-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm; 2. rpm --nodeps -e python-curl 3. rpm -ivh python-pycurl-7.19.3.1-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm. So far so good, Yum isn't complaining anymore about the library version mismatch; however I would like to know if I proceeded right or if there's still any missing step(s) I should follow to ensure a proper system integrity.

Re: Raid vs rsync -
TL;DR (at least not the entire thread) If you go with Rsync you may find incron an useful add-on as well as with it you can monitor a variety of events on any given file or directory, like OPEN_READ, CREATE, CLOSE, CLOSE_WRITE, etc - and this way backup your data in real time whenever a condition applies. Also if you will be rsyncing from one computer to another (in contrast to an attached storage) setting up an Rsync daemon on destination will make the sync to be faster and lighter than syncing over ssh; of course that if you need an encrypted connection between the two nodes you will likely be rsyncing over ssh. But again, if you trust your network, the Rsync daemon option will use much less resources. Also should you go with Rsync, setting up xinetd may be even a better option than having an Rsync daemon constantly running in your target server. HTH.

It's certainly complex here - or it's just me as I'm not used to Fedora's way.

I have tons of things installed and some low-level tweaks performed - not mention that these days I don't have much spare time to play with my system, I need it to work - so performing a new installation isn't a choice. Moreover, problem isn't the time spent on installing the system but the one spent to later leave it at the same point it is right now [0]. questions is usually reinstall. For me, anyway, it takes, what, 30 mins to reinstall Fedora insert spin here without the gunk I wish I hadn't added, but four or five hours chasing dependencies and stuff trying to clean a system that has a couple hundred packages installed I decided I didn't want. Yep, thinking about spending four or five hours chasing dependencies does indeed sound crazy, should it be that way? Besides this experience, in the past I only experienced the so-called dependency hell when running Debian and its derivatives. A clean install is the chicken soup of system administration, IMHO.

Of course I believe one could go and remove leftovers by hand, what I say is that's strange - just to say something - that there isn't a meta-group that takes care of that. Red Hat is big contributor to Gnome so Fedora is a Gnome-centered distro. It supports other DEs but the default assumption is that you're using Gnome. This is evident from a lot of the documentation as well the packaging structure as you point out. That said, there's no problem using another DE and a lot of us do so. We just put up with some the Gnome components being more or less ever-present as long as they doesn't get in the way. And of course having them means you can use Gnome-based apps such as Evolution without having to put up with the weird desktop GUI.

Re: [ F21 ] How to remove GNOME
Hello Sam, Yes, it seems that some packages in Fedora pulls down more dependencies than I would like; for instance removing the GNOME Desktop group (if it actually existed) should only remove everything GNOME-related stuff and only that, not whatever else on what it may depend. Conversely, one should be able to install X or Wayland separately - at least that's how I used with Arch and Gentoo albeit RHEL seems more close to Debian in this regard. About the question I made, I think it is quite self-explanatory: there are groups for every-other Desktop Environment (even one for Window Managers) but there's none for GNOME Desktop. Of course I believe one could go and remove leftovers by hand, what I say is that's strange - just to say something - that there isn't a meta-group that takes care of that. Regards.

Now, I want to remove GNOME from my install as I use i3; from what I saw there's no gnome-group or similar goup available, how should I proceed? You want to remove Gnome, and then what? Without Gnome, you do not have an X desktop. Perhaps you want to switch from Gnome to another window manager, like XFCE or KDE. Well, after installing the appropriate group, you should have an option to switch your session to the new window manager, when logging in. Although, in my case, when I finally had enough of Gnome, and switched to XFCE, I found that my login user environment was too polluted with various Gnome-related flotsam, even after I logged into XFCE. To make a clean break, I had to create a new userid, move/change ownership of all documents and files, to the new userid, then delete the old one. Of course, all of the old baggage still remains installed, after that. A small waste of disk space, mostly. I should, one of these days, go over and clean up as much of the unused Gnome stuff as I can find. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

There's a fair amount of Gnome cruft that requires gdm for one reason or another, so it's easier to get rid of it first, then go after the rest. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Fedora 20: After running yum update the Mate Terminal doesn't start anymore
As for alternative terminals, rxvt-unicode-256color (actual name of the
package) is a nice starting point (you can customize it via ~/.Xdefaults).
Another good alternative and more close to what I think you are used to is
lxterminal, the terminal emulator from Xfce.
Then you have Konsole (KDE's terminal) and GNOME's gnome-terminal, E17's
fancy term, aterm, eterm, xterm...
And finally you have Terminator - albeit I'm not sure if it's a terminal
emulator by its own or it needs gnome-terminal as an underlying base.
In any case tmux+{your terminal of choice} should be a better choice.
