Nvidia issue in fedora 22
by fedora2015
Hello,
I am using an Asus EN210 geforce 210 VGA card. I have akmod-nvidia-340xx
installed. Since the last two kernel updates, whenever I try run Nvidia
X server settings, I get the following error message:
"You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X
configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the
X server."
When I do that in terminal, I get the following error message:
"WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file.
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf."
It makes no difference. I also reverted back to 304xx, which doesn't
work at all.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

hfsplus-tools conflicts with hfsplusutils
by JD
Conflict between hpfsplusutils and hpfsplus-tools
because both provide the /usr/bin/fsck.hfsplus
however, hpfsplusutils has a more complete set of tools than
hpfsplus-tools
Why must we give up one set of useful tools
in order to have a more limited set of tools?
# yum install hfsplusutils.x86_64 hfsutils.x86_64
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
So, I tried to remove hfsplus-tools, and that would result in the removal
of dependencies
anaconda
initial-setup
This is something the devs overlooked?

Thanks to everyone's suggestions.
I finally had some cycles to open the laptop and cleanup up the
old dried up grease off the cpu and the heat sink and applied
the arctic silver. I smeared it in thin sheet on both the cpu and the
heat sink's contact surface.
I buttoned the thing back up and installed fc20 from DVD iso.
All went well during the install.
I booted and opened the file browser to browse the boot drive. No problems.
I immediately opened the file browser again to seperately browse another
drive
and it crashed instantly after the gui of the 2nd file browser came up.
I uploaded the screen image of crash message to
https://www.sendspace.com/file/exy97h
I noticed that during the installation of fc20, the air coming
out of the exhaust vent was almost scalding if I kept my finger there
for about a minute or so. By scalding, I mean if I had touched
a metal surface of that temperature for say 30 seconds, I would
have felt some pain.
Also, I noticed that the cooling fan remained at normal operating
speed, instead of spinning faster, as I usually hear it spin fast for
about a few seconds when I power it on.
So, I am not sure whether the problem is the fan or the cpu.
P.S: I also ran the memtest 86 full tests of 1 pass.
I installed fc20 after it had reached somewhere near the middle
of pass 2. It had detected no errors. 10 hours had passed since
I had started the memtest86.
I am not sure if each pass would run different tests. Perhaps
someone can expand on that.

block diagram interpretation
by Chris Murphy
I'm looking at reducing my dependency on dual booting and VMs to run
Fedora and am thinking of an Intel NUC or possibly a Minnowboard (or
maybe both and eventually setup glusterfs).
Page 17, figure 3 show a block diagram of a candidate board
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23090/eng/D54250WYB_D34010WYB_TechProdSpe...
What I'm wondering is, there are four USB connectors, two front, two
back. Each pair is represented with a single block with two arrows to
the CPU. Do the two arrow implies two distinct buses? i.e. each of the
four connectors offers 5Gbps bandwidth?
In contrast, there's also two USB 2.0 ports in the front, noted as
both dual-port, and with a single arrow to the CPU, which suggests to
me it's a single 480Mbps bus shared between two connectors.
Then on page 24, the text description says even less than the diagram suggests:
The board supports eight USB ports. All eight ports are high-speed,
full-speed, and
low-speed capable. The port arrangement is as follows:
• USB 3.0 ports:
Two front panel USB 3.0 ports are implemented through an external connector
(blue)
Two ports are implemented with vertical back panel connectors (blue)

What starts /usr/bin/pulseaudio?
by JD
I looked in /lib/systemd and /etc/systemd, recursively,
and none of the services or dependencies have the string
pulseaudio in them.

RE: iptables with logging vs denyhosts
by Steve Berg
Have you looked at fail2ban? It watches /var/log/secure for break in attempts/failed logins and dynamically adds iptables rules to block the bad guys. It will do (automatically) pretty much what you're doing manually.

Subject: iptables with logging vs denyhosts
I have been using denyhosts for almost a year. To date I have only
prevented one person logging in and that is ME ( I used the wrong login
name).
Also, I know of no successful break-ins.
My iptables is as follows:
-P INPUT DROP
-P FORWARD DROP
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-N block
-A INPUT -j block
-A FORWARD -j block
-A block -i wifi_card -p tcp -m tcp --dport 12123 -j ACCEPT
-A block -i Nic_external -p tcp -m tcp --dport 12123 -j ACCEPT
-A block -i Nic_enternal -j ACCEPT
-A block -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A block -i lo -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
-A block -j DROP
First, I think that the above will keep the bad guys out, Is that a true
statement?
Sencondly, I have added a LOG rule just above the DROP rule and I have
been monitoring it for about 1 1/2 weeks. As each entry is logged I have
been adding it to /etc/hosts.deny. Currently there are 4318 ip adresses
in the file and the number of packets that have been logged is 51592.
Denyhosts is for stopping ssh attempts and nothing else as I understand it.
Having over 4300 lines in /etc/hosts.deny causes almost no delay in
logging in remotely.
Am I being to paranoid about keeping the bad guys out or is the iptable
above completely adequate?
I would very much like to here your opinion on this,
David
