Thanks!  That seems to have fixed it.  Reading up on the setting, I'm
now wondering why it was working the way I wanted before :/

Fedora 23 will not boot if laptop lid closed

[Mike Wohlgemuth]

I have an old laptop that I use as a home server, so it sits in the
corner closed most of the time.  Something changed with the last set of
updates I applied so now if I reboot, it suspends in the middle of the
boot process, and will not continue until I open the laptop, at which
point it will continue.  Is anyone else seeing this?  Is there a new
setting somewhere that I can change to get it to boot with the lid
closed?

Thanks
Mike

Open new window for new empathy conversations

[Mike Wohlgemuth]

I'm running Gnome on F21.  How do I get empathy to open a new window
when someone starts a new chat with me?  The notifications are nice, but
unless I'm sitting right there as it happens, I tend to miss them.

VGA out to my TV

[Mike Wohlgemuth]

I've had a few different laptops over the last few years doing VGA out
to my Vizio TV.  It took quite a bit of experimenting, but I figured out
a modeline that worked and put the following
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "VGA1"
# Vizio Manufacturer's modeline.  Shifted left and up
#  ModeLine "1920x1080" 138.50 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088  +hsync 
-vsync
#
# This one is closer.  Shifted a bit right and too tall
#  ModeLine "1920x1080" 138.50 1920 1950 2006 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 +hsync 
-vsync
# By trial and error, this works!
  ModeLine "1920x1080" 138.50 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 +hsync 
-vsync
  Option   "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
EndSection

I've just purchased a new Intel NUC.  In case it helps here is the link
to exactly what I got:

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HZDLNWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Since it has a DisplayPort, I got a DisplayPort to VGA adapter, and changed the 
file to this:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "DP1"
# Vizio Manufacturer's modeline.  Shifted left and up
#  ModeLine "1920x1080" 138.50 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088  +hsync 
-vsync
#
# This one is closer.  Shifted a bit right and too tall
#  ModeLine "1920x1080" 138.50 1920 1950 2006 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 +hsync 
-vsync
# By trial and error, this works!
  ModeLine "1920x1080" 138.50 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 +hsync 
-vsync
  Option   "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
EndSection

But it is not working.  I've add the output of

journalctl -e /usr/libexec/Xorg.bin

to the end of this email.

If I'm reading this right it not even picking up the settings from the
file.  Any tips on what I can do to fix this?

Thanks

I'm not clear how this is better than just running fdisk off the live
image before running the installer, though.

Network Manager vpnc

[Mike Wohlgemuth]

Work recently switched to a Palo Alto GlobalProtect based VPN, which
works with vpnc.  I am able to connect to it fine if I just configure
the settings under "Identity" in NetworkManager using
NetworkManager-vpnc.  However, this sends all my traffic over the VPN,
so it's not ideal.  I should be able to customize the settings under
"IPv4" to do split routing, and I even have instructions for doing so
under Ubuntu, but whenever I change anything under "IPv4" the VPN fails
to connect.  I'm at a loss as to how to get any better debugging info to
see why that is.  Is there some trick to getting this working that I am
missing?

Thanks

This is the first I've heard of dnf, however a cursory Google search
shows that it has been discussed for months.  I presume that were I
involved in the forums and mailing lists where the future of Fedora was
being discussed, I would have had ample opportunity to do just what you
are talking about.  Since I have chosen not to be actively involved in
the Fedora development process, I am not shocked by development
decisions getting made without my input.

Okay, now, go back and read the opinion that Mike Wohlgemuth actually

I apologize if I misinterpreted your statement.  Someone claimed that 
they found gnome bashing tiresome.  Your response was they should 
complain to the Gnome developers.  It seemed sort of analogous to 
ordering a pizza in a restaurant and realizing it has anchovies on it.  
You hate anchovies, but it was clearly labeled as coming with 
anchovies.  It seems at this point you could choose to take the 
anchovies off and eat the rest of the pizza.  Or you could talk to the 
wait staff about resolving the issue.  Or you could complain loudly to 
all the other patrons, and when the other patrons express displeasure 
with your actions, tell them that it is really the restaurant's fault. 
This third option is what I find astonishingly arrogant.


Again, I apologize if I mistook your statement as advocating this third 
option. I will stay out of this discussion from now on, because it isn't 
really productive.

Wow.  The arrogance in that statement is rather astounding.  You 
seriously believe that I should complain to the Gnome developers because 
there are people on a mailing list that is only tangentially related to 
Gnome who can't stop beating a dead horse?


1. No discussion on this list will likely ever impact Gnome
   development.  Go to the gnome devel list for that.
2. The only likely scenario in which discussions on this list will
   impact Fedora development is if one of the development team also
   reads this list and takes it upon themselves to follow up on the
   Fedora devel lists.
3. The vast majority of users of Fedora, whether or not they use Gnome,
   could not care less about your opinions on the Gnome development
   process, and do get tired of the repetition, and telling them that
   it is their fault is insulting.

I've never run into this, but from a few minutes spent on 
bugzilla.redhat.com, things don't sound great for you.  I see sparse 
reports of the same issue over various releases, with no definitive 
fix.  In the past, someone was able to work around it by modifying 
install.img:


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557989#c14

But there is apparently no longer an install.img to modify, and I have 
no clue where you would look to do something similar now.  Maybe someone 
more knowledgeable could point you in the right direction?

With all due respect, the original poster appeared not to have much of a

from RH and become quality UNIX-like distro on its own ?"

are all but content free.  Other than the fact that the poster is 
dissatisfied, I have no other information with which to judge whether or 
not I have any common ground with them.  The poster proposes rather 
vague but drastic changes without any information about how those 
changes would help the situation in any way.  There are also better 
forums than the users list to propose changes to Fedora governance.  All 
in all, treating the post as a troll seems remarkably reasonable.

It looks like openvpn has been migrated to systemd.  The old command:

   service openvpn start

should still start it, but the systemd style command is

   systemctl start openvpn.service

The systemd file that is the closest equivalent to /etc/init.d/openvpn is

   /lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service

fail2ban vs. logrotate

[Mike Wohlgemuth]

I've installed fail2ban on Fedora 15 to block repeated failed ssh 
connections.  It works great up until logrotate kicks in.  When it 
rotates /var/log/secure then fail2ban stops noticing failed ssh 
attempts.  Using fail2ban-client to reload the jail fixes the problem, 
but it also causes fail2ban to forget all currently banned IP 
addresses.  I've found scripts online that will allow for extracting the 
current bans before reloading, and then applying them again after, but 
that seems pretty extreme. I can't help but think I must be missing 
something simple that will get fail2ban to notice that the logs have 
been rotated.  Has anyone else seeing this issue?  I see some reports in 
bugzilla about fail2ban, but nothing that is definitely this problem.

Thanks

Can you please cut this crap out?  Can all the people on this list that 
feel the need to insult Fedora and its devs please choose another 
distribution to use and unsubscribe from this list?  Adults have better 
things to do than to slog through this kind of ugliness.

The adults also realize that Fedora already has a process pretty much

I have largely stayed out of these conversations, but I would just like 
to interject that I have had exactly the opposite experience.  I love 
Gnome 3 and would be frustrated if I had to go back to anything like 
Gnome 2 or any other environment I have used before.  I will be the 
first to admit that things are not complete yet, but I really feel that 
people who are complaining about any sort of design issues are missing 
the point.  The basic user interactions baked into Gnome 3 tend to be 
much easier for me and a lot of complaints I see come from users 
actively fighting to use the interface in a way that it was not intended.

For instance, there really is no need to minimize a window with Gnome 
3.  I know it sounds condescending to say that, and you can feel free to 
feel insulted by me, the Gnome devs and God herself if you want, but 
once I got the hang of it, never having to manage minimized windows was 
amazingly freeing.  Likewise, you can turn on focus follows mouse, but 
if you do you will likely become frustrated with the experience.  I have 
used focus follows mouse for over 20 years prior to Gnome 3, and it was 
one of the thing that made using X based desktops a joy for me, but I've 
been running for about 1 month with click to focus and I don't miss 
focus follows mouse one bit.

Gnome 3 might really irritate you, or might be specifically bad for your 
particular use cases, and I completely understand if you want to 
continue with the desktop metaphors that have served you well in the 
past, but that does not mean it will be a general failure.  Sure, there 
is a bit of a learning curve, and I installed it on my machines to get 
the hang of it before putting it on anything that anyone else will use, 
but it only takes about 15 minutes to run through the changes with 
someone sitting in front of the computer for them to get the hang of it.

That being said, I share your pain on the printer setup, and I really 
hope that gets easier.

Fedora is a volunteer organization.  What everyone volunteered for is 
clearly spelled out.  It is hard sometimes keeping up with all the 
changes that happen, and sometimes those changes get into Fedora before 
they are "not ready for prime time".  That is not a bug with Fedora, 
that is a feature.  It attempts to be the distribution to go to when you 
absolutely want the latest with all its warts, and when long term 
support is not an issue for you.

It is very easy to like having all the latest stuff until something 
breaks or some new, radically different version of something (big or 
small) comes out and disrupts the way you like to work.  Every so often 
something big changes, like Gnome or KDE, and people start asking the 
devs to extend support for their favorite version.  Attempts have been 
made in the past to provide this sort of support, and they have failed 
due to lack of interest in doing the actual work.  I am not now, and 
have never been, a Fedora dev, but my guess is that any of the ones who 
might be inclined to provide longer term support would know the history 
and be very wary of even considering it.

That is why you will often see people on this list recommend that 
someone actually choose a disto other than Fedora for their suggested 
use case.  It is not because the people making the recommendation don't 
like Fedora, but that they realize that there are often cases where 
concerns about having quick access to the latest software are trumped by 
needs for a stable, long term platform.  When you make the choice to 
install Fedora in an environment that needs long term stability, you are 
implicitly assuming extra responsibility and extra effort on your part.

Yep, that fixed the compiling issue and I was able to get the wireless

For what it's worth, I have a different model HP with the same card, and 
it is working great with the rt2x00pci driver in 2.6.40-4.fc15.  I just 
installed Fedora last week on the box, and whatever kernel that came

While your statement might sound reasonable on the surface, I do not 
believe it actually complies with the GPL.  As a distributor of GPLd 
software, you are responsible for providing the source.  The fact that 
the source is available elsewhere does not absolve you of the 
responsibility, just like the source being available for RHEL does not 
absolve the CentOS project from needing to provide the source they use 
to build the CentOS binaries.

No /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/linkkeys

[Mike Wohlgemuth]

I'm attempting to tether my Fedora 14 laptop with my Android phone.  The 
pairing process will apparently work fine, but every time I attempt to 
connect to the access point in blueman, I am prompted to pair the device 
again.  If I am fast enough at entering things, it will connect to the 
access point, but every time I attempt to use it again, I will be 
prompted to pair again.  If I understand correctly, pairing should store 
a key in /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/linkkeys, but that file is 
never created.  Any suggestion on figuring out what is going on?
