working my way through quirks with fedora 23 on new ASUS gaming laptop G752VL-DH71
by Robert P. J. Day 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

just replaced an older ASUS laptop with one of these: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_1199&item_id=… and working my way through the inevitable configuration issues with a new (and fully-updated) fedora 23. so far, two issues i'd like to resolve. first, not sure how to turn on the keyboard backlight for the laptop's keyboard. i typically use an external USB keyboard, and i use "xset led 3" to get backlighting for that, but i haven't figured out how to do the same for the laptop keyboard. and second, i added a M.2 format 512G ADATA SSD in one of the two available slots for that form factor: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=179_1229_1296&item_id… but f23 doesn't see the device at all -- nothing from "lsblk". anyone know the configuration or driver needed for that kind of SSD? thank you kindly. rday

dns question??
by bruce 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

Hi. Researching dns/naming. (sortof fed!!) Assume I have a server -rackspace/digitalocean/etc.. And I and I want to serve the DNS via something like cloudflare. The test server(s) aren't going to be webservers, they're going to be used to test apps.. As far as I can tell, most of the sites say you need to already have a "name" from a domain name provider. That can't be right, can it!! One can have a dns process internal to an org, providing dns names to machines all over the place. Granted, those machines/names might be internal/private. So, does one need an "actual" real name for an externally facing server in order to process the DNS so one can do a "ssh test(a)foo.com" or can you use something like "ssh test(a)foo.example.com" At the same time.. if you do need a real/actual "domain name" for the externally facing box, digitalocean provides for both public/private networks for the linux instances. If you run a private network, would you then be able to create your own name for the internal instances that would be available to the other instances on the private network?? I've tried asking IRC/support forums, etc.. but not getting any progress.. Thanks for helping me get my head around this..

ssh colors vs. bash colors
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

Hi, I noticed that when I ssh into a CentOS 7 Host I get slightly darker colors in the ls output compared to the local (gnome-terminal) bash. Since I'm using a dark background the darker blue used for directories for example on the remote host is harder to read then the slightly brighter blue used on the local system. Does anyone have an idea why the colors are different and how to change that? Regards, Dennis

Renaming network devices in fedora23
by Alex 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Hi, I have a fedora23 server with eno1 and enp0s25. I'd like to rename them to eth0 and eth1. I'm familiar with all the network changes that have occurred over the years with biosdevname, etc. Reading section 8.2 of the Networking Guide manual: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Un… says I can create a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules, but it doesn't specify how to actually create that rule. Given my past experience, I created the following: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:25:90:ab:ab:1f", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:25:90:ab:ab:1e", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" This kind of works. It reads my ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 and creates interfaces by those names, but they are switched. The 1e interface is eth1 and the 1f interface is is eth0. Is it not possible to control the MAC address to a specific interface name? Of course I tried switching "eth1" and "eth0" and rebooting, but it didn't even matter. This used to be called 70-persistent-net.rules. I believe I tried to create that file and it worked the same as the 60-net.rules file. There really isn't any current discussion about how people are doing this. Thanks, Alex

ms office 2007 msxml5.0 dll problem on WINWORD exit
by Nick Zhokhov 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

I installed ms office 2007 on FC23 64 bits. When one is closed word one appeares error message about trouble concerning msxml5.0. I googled but not found clear information on that. Under .wine. I looked for msxml5.dll It is found one Progam Files (x86)/ Common Files/Microsoft Shared/OFFICE11 then I trasfered depends.exe utility from studio and checked wine depends path to/msxml5.dll It turns out 64 bit. I renamed it to msxml5.dll_64 bit then found and grub msxml5.dll from windows xp office 2007 native installation. It was in similar path but under Program Files\ ... After that wine WINWORD has no error on close. By the way wine WINWORD.EXE &> 1.log grep xml 1.log before dll replacing from 64 bit to 32 bit there was error message to load msxml5.dll I wanted to add some comment about this problem but lazy one makes registration. So I wonder why office installer put 64 bit dll instead of 32 bit. Hope this help someone. --Nick

OT: sed/awk help
by Mike Wright 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hi all, Don't know whether this requires a "sed" and/or an "awk" solution. I have strings in a log file whose only important info for a digest are new strings containing the date, time, and the remainder of the line following the first occurrence of a hyphen. All delimiters are spaces until the first hyhpen (there may be multiple hyphens but I only care about the first). Here is what the original line looks like: date time txt1 txt2 txt3: txt4 txt5 txt6 txt7 domain-email Here is what I'm looking for: date time partFollowingHyphen1 Way beyond my sedawk-foo. Any takers? Thanks in advance, Mike Wright

knotes
by Walter Cazzola 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Dear Linux Experts, I'm running KDE (Plasma 5) on my Fedora23 machine and using knotes to keep my notes. I've manually upgraded them from the previous version of KDE and for a while everything was going well but for some KDE internal problems akonadi stopped working and I'd to remove all its configuration files to have it running again. This implied that I lost my calendars, contacts and notes (all managed by akonadi and kpim applications). Re-adding the service has worked for calendars and contacts but not for notes. In this last case knotes is starting but it is not showing my notes (it is ready only for new notes). My notes are still there in the directory .kde/share/apps/knotes/new each notes in a separate file but simply invisible to the knotes application. It seems that the note.ics file is empty and I don't know how to relink it to the old notes. Any suggestions? Thank you Walter --

F23 does not renew dhcp leases correctly and corrupts DDNS
by Dr J Austin 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

I am running an F23 machine (paxos) with a C6.7 dhcp/ddns server (maui) - both fully updated I have the ability to "RESET" the dhcp/ddns to a default condition on the server(maui) Aside I have another F23 client (naxos) that has NOT been fully updated and works correctly I also have an Android smart phone that works correctly and updates the DNS whenever it is reconnected or powered up. Following a "RESET" of the server and a clean boot of an F23 client (paxos) things are fine - the client (paxos) shows dhclient running with the lease file listed and server (maui) messages are as shown First boot from clean - hdclient is running on paxos /sbin/dhclient -d -q -sf /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /var/run/dhclient-eno1.pid \ -lf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-37107b25-12bf-4de0-935e-12b9b6062fb4-eno1.lease \ -cf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-eno1.conf eno1 [root@paxos:~]$ ls -l /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-37107b25-12bf-4de0-935e-12b9b6062fb4-eno1.lease -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 521 Jan 25 09:54 /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-37107b25-12bf-4de0-935e-12b9b6062fb4-eno1.lease [root@paxos:~]$ cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-37107b25-12bf-4de0-935e-12b9b6062fb4-eno1.lease default-duid "\000\001\000\001\0368\255;x$\257:~:"; lease { interface "eno1"; fixed-address 148.197.29.130; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 148.197.29.254; option dhcp-lease-time 86400; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 148.197.29.5,212.104.130.9; option dhcp-server-identifier 148.197.29.5; option broadcast-address 148.197.29.255; option domain-name "jaa.org.uk"; renew 1 2016/01/25 21:27:07; rebind 2 2016/01/26 06:54:04; expire 2 2016/01/26 09:54:04; } Associated messages file on server maui Jan 25 09:54:04 maui dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 78:24:af:3a:7e:3a via eth0 Jan 25 09:54:05 maui dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 148.197.29.130 to 78:24:af:3a:7e:3a (paxos) via eth0 Jan 25 09:54:05 maui named[29523]: client 148.197.29.5#39074: updating zone 'jaa.org.uk/IN': adding an RR at 'paxos.jaa.org.uk' A Jan 25 09:54:05 maui named[29523]: client 148.197.29.5#39074: updating zone 'jaa.org.uk/IN': adding an RR at 'paxos.jaa.org.uk' TXT Jan 25 09:54:05 maui dhcpd: Added new forward map from paxos.jaa.org.uk to 148.197.29.130 Jan 25 09:54:05 maui named[29523]: client 148.197.29.5#55776: updating zone '29.197.148.in-addr.arpa/IN': deleting rrset at '130.29.197.148.in-addr.arpa' PTR Jan 25 09:54:05 maui named[29523]: client 148.197.29.5#55776: updating zone '29.197.148.in-addr.arpa/IN': adding an RR at '130.29.197.148.in-addr.arpa' PTR Jan 25 09:54:05 maui dhcpd: added reverse map from 130.29.197.148.in-addr.arpa. to paxos.jaa.org.uk Jan 25 09:54:05 maui dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 148.197.29.130 (148.197.29.5) from 78:24:af:3a:7e:3a (paxos) via eth0 Jan 25 09:54:05 maui dhcpd: DHCPACK on 148.197.29.130 to 78:24:af:3a:7e:3a (paxos) via eth0 #################################################################################################### Reboot here /sbin/dhclient -d -q -sf /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /var/run/dhclient-eno1.pid -lf \ /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-81ded380-936a-405c-83f2-bfd5b980f69d-eno1.lease \ -cf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-eno1.conf eno1 [root@paxos:~]$ ls -l /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-81ded380-936a-405c-83f2-bfd5b980f69d-eno1.lease -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 524 Jan 25 10:26 /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-81ded380-936a-405c-83f2-bfd5b980f69d-eno1.lease [root@paxos:~]$ cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-81ded380-936a-405c-83f2-bfd5b980f69d-eno1.lease default-duid "\000\001\000\001\0368\264\335x$\257:~:"; lease { interface "eno1"; fixed-address 148.197.29.131; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 148.197.29.254; option dhcp-lease-time 86400; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 148.197.29.5,212.104.130.9; option dhcp-server-identifier 148.197.29.5; option broadcast-address 148.197.29.255; option domain-name "jaa.org.uk"; renew 1 2016/01/25 22:15:10; rebind 2 2016/01/26 07:26:38; expire 2 2016/01/26 10:26:38; } Associated messages file on maui Jan 25 10:26:37 maui dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 78:24:af:3a:7e:3a via eth0 Jan 25 10:26:38 maui dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 148.197.29.131 to 78:24:af:3a:7e:3a (paxos) via eth0 Jan 25 10:26:38 maui named[29523]: client 148.197.29.5#56622: updating zone 'jaa.org.uk/IN': update unsuccessful: paxos.jaa.org.uk: 'name not in use' prerequisite not satisfied (YXDOMAIN) Jan 25 10:26:38 maui named[29523]: client 148.197.29.5#40701: updating zone 'jaa.org.uk/IN': update unsuccessful: paxos.jaa.org.uk/TXT: 'RRset exists (value dependent)' prerequisite not satisfied (NXRRSET) Jan 25 10:26:38 maui dhcpd: Forward map from paxos.jaa.org.uk to 148.197.29.131 FAILED: Has an address record but no DHCID, not mine.

gvim and gnupg plugin
by Joseph Loo 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

I am having problems with gvim and gpupg plugin for gvim. Whenever I try to open the open a .gpg file it comes back with "Message could not be decrypted" When I open the same file, with vim, it works with no problems. I downloaded the git files for gnupg.vim from the git repository. It has Dec 17, 2015 marked as the latest change. I put the file in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin I do notice that standard gpg will not start gpg-agent but if I run gpg2 it will start the gpg-agent I have in the gpg.conf file use-agent uncommented -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org

Keyserver timeout
by Patrick O'Callaghan 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Trying to add a GPG key from a well-known keyserver (keys.mit.edu) but I'm getting timeouts: $ gpg --keyserver keys.mit.edu --recv <xxxxxxx> gpg: requesting key <xxxxxxx> from hkp server keys.mit.edu gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error Same thing happens with other keyservers such as keys.gpg.org. Googling for this throws up multiple reports of it being caused by a firewall blocking access to port 11371 (the hkp protocol). I tried opening this port but it makes no difference. Suggestions welcome. poc
