Starting wayland from multi-user using startx, how do I know it's wayland?
by stan
I usually boot to multi-user, and then start the X server and client
from a terminal using startx. It works great for X, but I would like
to do the same for wayland. After reading the man for startx, I came
up with putting
#!/bin/bash
exec startlxde -- /usr/bin/Xwayland
into my ~/.Xclients file and then running startx. It seems to work,
as I get a graphical interface running lxde. But am I really running
wayland instead of X? Because it looks so much like X, I couldn't see
that it wasn't X, and I wondered if startx just ignored the server
request and used its default, X. How would I tell? There was no process
Xwayland when I checked.
If this isn't the way to start wayland from the command line, how would
I do that?
Thanks.

KDE mailing list?
by John Horne
Hello,
Does anyone know what is happening with the Fedora KDE mailing list? I
joined the list a few weeks ago now, and sent a message to it. I have
not received any messages from the list, and according to the archives
it seems to have just stopped last November. I tried emailing the list
maintainer, but again got no response at all.
John.

ssh confusion
by Tom Horsley
If I try to login to a fedora 23 virtual machine as root,
I get rejected because of "too many authentication failures"
(or something like that, I don't remember the precise
wording).
I'm running an agent, but none of the keys in the agent
would allow a root login so I expect it to fallback
to a password prompt, but I get the failure instead.
When I then try with this:
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=keyboard-interactive,password
I do indeed get a password prompt and can login.
I suspect I'm suffering from the effects of the
changes in f23 to remove various crypto algorithms
and ssh1 support, etc. But I can't figure out
what the heck is going on.
Any ideas? I'd love to not have to dig up the
silly long option every time I want to login as root :-).

screen/remote apps
by bruce
Hi.
I can locally run screen, and then run an app.
If I wanted to have a process where I remotely start/run an app on a
remote box (ssh) via screen, How is this accomplished? Can it be done?
Ie, I want the app on the remote instance/box to be running in a
screen process within a term. This would allow someone to login, fire
up the screen process for the screen id, and see the process in
action...
Thanks for any pointers..

82:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT26428 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 5GT/s - IB QDR / 10GigE] (rev b0)

The first one has sriov off the second has sriov on.

What kernel has a built-in support for this wlan card?
by M. Gelle
Hello,
If there's no current kernel that supports this card, then what's the eta
for Fedora 23 with:
Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30). It's the QCA9377
model I believe.
The reason I ask is because this Lenovo Laptop has the weird ideapad_laptop
module.
I even tried disabling the Secure Boot to no avail - rfkill couldn't enable
wlan. Otherwise drivers will not load due to the "required key kissing"
error.

driver install but not loaded
by thibaut noah
Hello guys, got this weird error trying to install my raid driver :
Start to install the driver rr272x_1x.ko of rr272x_1x.
Finish installing the kernel module rr272x_1x.ko.
Loading rr272x_1x driver module rr272x_1x
modprobe: FATAL: Module rr272x_1x not found.
Checked with lsmod driver does not appear tough the installation is
finished (checked the sh file, modprobe is running at the end).
After a little read of the sh file i can confirm that the driver is in
/etc/rc.modules (it appears to be with sd_mod and that's all).
chmod on rc.modules in the sh file is successfull (chmod 755).
The failing part seems to be this :
elif [ "${MODULE}" = "rr272x_1x" -o "${MODULE}" = "rr274x_3x" -o
"${MODULE}" = "rr276x" -o "${MODULE}" = "rr278x" ] ; then
( cd /lib/modules/
for dir in [23].*; do
[ -d $dir/kernel/fs ] || continue
if [ -f /boot/initrd-$dir.img ]; then
mv /boot/initrd-$dir.img /boot/initrd-$dir.img.bak
# do not include mvsas in initrd, as the udev and so will load the driver
mkinitrd --builtin=mvsas /boot/initrd-$dir.img $dir
elif [ -f /boot/initramfs-$dir.img ]; then
mv /boot/initramfs-$dir.img /boot/initramfs-$dir.img.bak
# do not include mvsas in initramfs, as the udev and so will load the driver
dracut /boot/initramfs-$dir.img $dir
fi
done
Can someone give me a hint on how to do what needs to be done? I'm not
familiar with drivers on unix systems so i'm a bit lost, full sh file is
attached if needed, thanks.
