systemctl restart network, VMs and suspend
by Aleksandar Kostadinov 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

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 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

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 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

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 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

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 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Anyone else started today with this? ================================================================================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================================================================================ Removing: kernel x86_64 3.14.5-200.fc20 @updates 135 M kernel-devel x86_64 3.14.5-200.fc20 @updates 33 M kernel-modules-extra x86_64 3.14.5-200.fc20 @updates 8.2 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? Vlad
