Network Manager vpnc
by Mike Wohlgemuth 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

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 Mike

What's going on with net.ipv4.conf.???.rp_filter ?
by Bob Marcan 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hi. With previous kernel 3.18.5-101.fc20.x86_64 sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.${interface}.rp_filter=0 was enough to run iptv. With kernel 3.18.6-100.fc20.x86_64 sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0 is needed to get it run. It is not the first time to observe this. Does anyone have some clue about this? BR, Bob

swapping
by Patrick Dupre 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hello, I guess that the permanent swapping is not due to setroubleshooter but ma Go of RAM and teh swapping is just increasing permanently reaching 5Go (20 firefox processes are running requiring 5% of Mem each) How can I trouble shoot this permanent issue on this computer?

(La)TeX suddenly can't find anything
by Andras Simon 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

I've been using LaTeX on a fully updated Fedora 21, but now suddenly even TeXing the simplest plain TeX file produces this: warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-config/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-local/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R. warning: kpathsea: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/ls-R: No usable entries in ls-R. warning: kpathsea: See the manual for how to generate ls-R.

There are a few ls-R files around, and all but one are binary files (see below) which surprises me, but rpm -V on the package that contains them doesn't complain. (The one that is a plain text file has only this: % ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line. ./: .: ls-R in it.) file says of the binary ls-R files that they're xz compressed; and after uncompressing them, file reports this: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), BuildID[sha1]=d1cc6893beed5454b21594f2dff8f27b6d9fad7d, not stripped Can this be related to a recent filesystem problem on / ? I've reinstalled all texlive packages after noticing and repairing it. And, most importantly, what should I try? Andras

journalctl --follow
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Is journalctl in the tail -f mode called "follow" supposed to be realtime? I'm seeing it more or less output log lines in realtime for many hours and then eventually it falls behind with half an hour or one hour delay. The (simplified) lines are from a perl sshd tracker are: open( LOG, "journalctl -o short-precise -u sshd --follow |"); while (<LOG>) { ... } I suppose, it is possible that the delay is in perl, but journalctl seems more likely to be the culprit, hence the subject line. -wolfgang

FC21 intermittently booting up to black/blank screen
by linuxnutster＠videotron.ca 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hello, Subsequent to a fedup from FC20 to FC21, I've been having bootup issues which I believe are VGA driver related. Every now and then I start my computer and it boots up to a blank screen and hangs. When I move the mouse, an X-shaped cursor appears. The latter does move with the mouse. Once I hit reset, it boots up normally each time. My vga card is an nvidia Geforce 210 ( Asus en210 ) 1GB. I started off by manually installing the nvidia proprietary, with no change, and then moved to akmod-nvidia-304xx. The issue remained. I am now using the akmod-nvidia-340xx and still have the same problem. It seems to me I had this problem for a little while under FC20 when it was released. Please note, I am not an expert. I tend to be an "install it and use it" type of user. I'm looking for input on how to troubleshoot this issue - logs, etc... also...am I the only one experiencing this?

nm-applet-WARNING: what am I missing
by Ranjan Maitra 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hi, On a new F21 installation from scratch, I am getting the following message: % nm-applet GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. (nm-applet:1436): nm-applet-WARNING **: Failed to initialize D-Bus: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message This makes me think that I am missing some package. What could it be? How do I trouble-shoot? Many thanks for any pointers and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Unknown Metadata Type from Yumex
by Stephen Morris 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

WARNING: Unknown metadata type (group_gz) for <b>fedora</b> I'm getting the above message on a number of repositories, where there are a couple of different values between the brackets, when Yumex downloaded the metadata this morning as part of it checking for available updates. What does it mean and how do I rectify it? Also, after downloading the metadata and applying the only update available, which was an update I was expecting (it was the kmod-nvidia update for the new kernel), yumex downloaded all the metadata again and produced the same messages. Is the above messages the reason why Yumex did the double metadata download?

many journalctl processes at once on F20
by Fred Smith 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hi all! I've got an old netbook sitting here, running F20, performing a dedicated function, where nobody ever logs into it (except me, once in a long while). I've noticed lately that it seems AWFULLY slow (even for the slow computer that it normally is). Last night I logged in to see if I could see what's going on, and I fund a load average around 17-20, ten instances of journalctl running, and over a gig of swap space in use. Uptime, as of that moment was around six days. In the output of top I didn't see anything particularly startling in memory usage other than the gig of swap. I did a "yum update", and rebooted this morning to pick up the new kernel, libs, etc. and now it has no instances of journalctl running and zero swap usage. I'm puzzled as to why or how it got all those journalctl processes running, as I thought it was a commandline app for viewing lots, and not something the system would be running on its own. This morning, "last" shows more or less normal-looking events, so unless lastlog has been hacked it doesn't seem likely that there's been some bad person in the system: # last fredex pts/1 192.168.2.12 Thu Feb 12 10:24 still logged in fredex pts/0 192.168.2.12 Thu Feb 12 10:24 still logged in reboot system boot 3.14.2-200.fc20.

Yum update Vbox -
by Bob Goodwin 12 Feb '15

This does not seem much of a problem but I am curious as to why I'm having this? It seems waiting a while for the kernel to update will eventually fix things but do I somehow have the wrong version of virtualbox installed?
