Change Fedora 20 hostname

Hi All;
I changed the value in /etc/hostname but it did not change my hostname.
How do I properly change the hostname?
Thanks in advance

NVidia/Gnome Manager issues
by Weiner, Michael
Good morning list readers -
I recently upgraded a users workstation from Fedora 17 to Fedora 19 and
ever since that upgrade, we have been experiencing issues with the
gnome-manager. This is a Dell T7600 with a NVidia Quadro 600 (GF108GL)
and it was running quite well with Fedora 17, but the user insisted on
an upgrade, so being customer service oriented , we obliged. However,
now when I boot the workstation and it goes to launch gnome-manager it
tries to start, and flickers a few times between a black screen and what
looks like some system messages ... eventuall, though not all the time,
I will finally get the login window with the Fedora logo.
One of my questions is, is it better to use the NVidia drivers from
NVidia (eg NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.49.run I believe these are the latest
for this card) or use the kmod/akmod and related nvidia packages from
rpmfusion? And would having the latter packages on the machine cause any
conflicts? Sorry for what might appear to be rather silly questions, but
I am more a command-line guy, and when running into X issues, debugging
is rather difficult at times.
Thank you in advance
Michael

No OK message when re-starting service
by Timothy Murphy
I notice that when I run
# systemctl restart sendmail.service
I get no OK message on my Fedora-20 laptop,
as I do when I run
# service sendmail restart
on my CentOS server.
This seems a little surprising to me.
Is there some setting I could add to get confirmation?
(I know I could run "systemctl status ...".)
Would I get a message if the restart failed?

RE: VIP Manager suggestions
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl
As we are heading towards 1/4, I was contemplating about "virtual Intellectual Properties"
So for people who would like to think, that they were the one that created something bright.
Aka "patent-trols"
So, a VIP-manager would be a tool for managing trolls!

UEFI oddity.
by Erik P. Olsen
I have recently built a fedora 20 system using UEFI. And by and large it seems
to be OK. I took care to allocate enough space on disk to allow for another
system. It's all done on a Lenovo L430 with a 500GB large harddisk. I intent to
use it for testing purposes and the UEFI based system is my first try of this
type of "BIOS".
I was very surprised to see the output from fdisk:
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 4547BE5B-EB5B-4756-8225-C346783B73AA
Device Start End Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 1026047 500M Microsoft basic data

/dev/sda4 222111744 508831743 136.7G Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda5 508831744 509241343 200M EFI System

/dev/sda9 631408640 976773119 164.7G Microsoft basic data
There doesn't seem to be much space left for yet another system :-(
Doing a df -H yields:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 53G 6.8G 44G 14% /
devtmpfs 4.1G 0 4.1G 0% /dev
tmpfs 4.1G 70k 4.1G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 4.1G 1.2M 4.1G 1% /run
tmpfs 4.1G 0 4.1G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 4.1G 41k 4.1G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda9 174G 1.5G 164G 1% /home
/dev/sda6 500M 99M 371M 21% /boot
/dev/sda5 210M 10M 200M 5% /boot/efi
And here it looks like I have ample space for a second system.
What should I believe and what does Microsoft do on my system?

kworker/0:2 suddenly started using 55+%, so I re-booted. No joy.

Backup question
by CS DBA
Hi All;
I have an rsync script to backup my entire system each time before I run
updates, as versions come & go I try and keep up with which top level
directories to backup knowing that some like /proc are virtual...
Here's my question: If I simply backup all directories (including ones
like /proc & /media, etc) will the following work, or do I need to care
about specifically excluding the virtual directories?
1) run the rsync backup of ALL directories in /
2) boot to a problem (say a boot to a blank screen)
3) boot into single user mode
4) run the rsync based restore (restoring everything from step 1)
5) reboot into the previous system state
Thanks in advance

installed a game, errors running it-error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1:
by Paul Cartwright
I bought & installed a game from the Steam group. When I try to run it
from the command line I get this:
./"Gravity Badgers.x86"
./Gravity Badgers.x86: error while loading shared libraries:
libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
yum provides shows this:
yum provides libGLU.so.1
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
mesa-libGLU-9.0.0-3.fc20.i686 : Mesa libGLU library
when I try to install that on my amd_64 system, I get this error:
Protected multilib versions: mesa-libGLU-9.0.0-3.fc20.i686 !=
mesa-libGLU-9.0.0-4.fc20.x86_64
Is there something I can do to fix this, or is this more a game
developer issue? I get this same error on 3 games..

KVM issues
by Pal, Laszlo
Hi,
I'm almost give up again because for a day I try to access my windows
kvm guest from FC20 :)
I've tried everything including virtio mapping
mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L hostshare /tmp/hostfiles
where I get the following messages
mount: special device hostshare does not exist
---
---
to be honest clipboard sharing would be enough for me, so I googled
why it is not working and I applied this:
https://mytechdepot.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/enabling-clipboard-copy-past...
yum install spice-vdagent
# chkconfig --add spice-vdagentd
# service spice-vdagentd start
but, the clipboard sharing isn't working....
Do you have any idea to solve any of the issues above?
Thank you
