systemctl restart network, VMs and suspend
by Aleksandar Kostadinov
Hello,
I already filed a bugzilla issue with this [1] but I'd like to know if
anybody else has troubles with VMs' network after suspend. And if others
are able to do a "systemctl restart network" successfully.
I mean, am I an isolated case because of some unknown configuration I
have or is this common?
What I do is:
launch VM
suspend laptop
wake up laptop after awhile (1 hour maybe)
network of VM loses default route
systemctl restart network # fails on both fedora 20 - guest and host
I'll appreciate if somebody else with same experience comments in the
bugzilla issue directly.

Joining the modern era: Xinerama to XRandR
by Noah Cutler
Got RandR setup in place here with a 3 monitor setup, but have hit a sticky
wicket relative to previous Xinerama setup (which I have reverted to until
I find a suitable workaround).
With Xinerama we can stich together separate X screens under a single large
display. This allows me to use my monitor calibration/screen inversion
application *xcalib*, on a per screen basis.
For example, by default all screens are inverted (i.e. black background)
but sometimes I need to see a website I'm working on as it really looks
against a white background. With Xinerma I can toggle background color on a
single monitor. With RandR all 3 screens invert at once, which is jarring
on the eyes.
Is there way to get RandR to simulate Xinerma multiple pseudo separate X
screens? Barring that, another calibration/inversion program that allows
one to change state on a per physical monitor basis?
*xcalib* only works with screen x/display :x and RandR only has a single
screen, thus the all-at-once jarring state change.
Thanks for ideas

Fedora 20 minimal install: default user directory oddity
by Noah Cutler
Hey all.
I fedup'd from F18 to 20 a couple of weeks ago (suprisingly smooth process)
but decided to blow it all away in favor of a F20 minimal install as I am
"fed up" with Gnome ;-)
So, here we are on a minimal install with no DM or DE, just i3wm with
agetty --auto-login as a quick & dirty autologin solution.
Overall everything works swimmingly, quite pleased with the setup.
One issue has me puzzled, however. When I open up a terminal (or even from
a tty) by default I am placed in slash root vs. my user directory.
The workaround I'm using is to stick a "cd $HOME" in the last line of my
.bashrc
What is causing this? Does one need to login via a DM in order to get
placed in user home directory? If so, why does a tty session default to
slash root?
Thanks for an explanation if you've got one.

background - "stopped" how to kill!
by bruce
Hi.
I know this isn't really a fed issue, but I'm curious to how to handle it.
I have a basic test php app foo.php
I run it from the cmdline - it sleeps, it dies, life is good. The pID
is removed from the procTBL as expected.
However, if I change the running to be -- foo.php & so the test runs
as a background process, the process gets listed as "Stopped" "T" in
the status of the procTBL.
My question, is how the heck can I implement something within the test
foo.php to have it die/be removed from the procTBL when it dies..
I've implemented the kill_posix within the app, and I've searched alla
over trying to resolve this..
So, what the heck am I missing.
And I know I could have an external app kill it, but that's the same
as killing the foo.php test from the cmdline..
Thoughts/comments..
thanks

yesterday kernel update fail?
by Pal, Laszlo
Anyone else started today with this?

Package Arch

================================================================================================================================================
Removing:
kernel x86_64
3.14.5-200.fc20 @updates 135 M

Transaction Summary
================================================================================================================================================
Remove 3 Packages
It seems something wrong with this update at least at my machine since
with this version my boot process can't finish. Booting the previous
kernel solves the problem. Any official announcement for this?
