A dual head problem
by François Patte 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I have two monitors and an nvidia graphic card. I uses the nvidia proprietary driver from rpmfusion and have configured the system to use the twinview option. I need to load an icc profile for each screen (they are not exactly the same) and this seems to be impossible under this configuration.... Am I right? So I changed my config: separate screens + xinerama With this config, I can load one icc profile for each screen *but* when I have to use a Qt window (Emacs, skype, rxvt....) the X server crashes..... I don't know what is reponsible: nvidia driver or Qt, but I do need to use Emacs and some other application using Qt. Is there a solution to my problem: load an icc profile for each screen? I am under fedora 21 and uses xfce as window manager. Thank you. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAla9yIIACgkQdE6C2dhV2JV1YQCfdnytPigUSYNuAWhGiNu+U3Fr xEcAmQFsPU76chZsWJDKx487mUzQtczC =KYq1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Workarounds for Intel video driver X11 crashes
by Ted Roche 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

I'm running a Dell Inspiron with an Intel video driver and up-to-date F23 64 bit installed, GNOME3 desktop. I'm looking for suggestions to improve stability, as I'm crashing 3 - 4 times a day and can't afford to lose work in progress in LibreOffice, consoles and Chromium. Crashes are almost always occurring when I click on a link or UI element, instantly dropping me back into the login screen. Running ABRT, I've posted bugs to Bugzilla (see below). If anyone has a similar setup and had found more stability by downgrading a driver, tweaking settings or switching desktops, I'd welcome any suggestions. Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz × 4 Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) Memory 11.6 Gb GNOME Version 3.18.2 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1257659 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306676 -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

[ 254.516916] brcmsmac bcma0:1: START: tid 1 is not agg'able
by JD 12 Feb '16

Looks like the brcm driver has some issues, but I am not certain what's causing them. I have bazillions of these messages in dmesg and in /var/log/messages* (where the kernel buffer is finally dumped).

Fedora 23 KDE spin / XEN / virt-manager and vmlinuz-4.3.3-301.fc23.x86_64
by Outback Dingo 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

So my environment Fedora 23 KDE spin XEN-4.5.2 and kernel 4.2.8 booted via EFI where everything works fine using virt-manager to manage vms under XEN, all is good. a recent update installed kernel-4.3.3 so i reset the xen efi configuration, booted got into the desktop no problems. The issue arises when trying to launch vms from virt-manager, it always throws a virt-manager viewer connection to hypervisor host got refused or disconnected. however, if i go back to using kernel 4.2.8 it all works fine. So there in lies the question, whats changed that is now preventing virt-manager from aunching vms properly. Sorry for the cross post, just trying to find the answer. thanks in advance

HAProxy w/SSL termination mixed content issue.
by Mark Haney 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

I've got a problem I can't quite figure out and I'm hoping a Fedora list member can give me a hand. These systems are all Ubuntu based, but this doesn't appear to be an OS related issue as much as maybe I'm missing something with the configuration. We're needing to scale out one of our websites to multiple web servers. We've already scaled the DB into a 4 node cluster using haproxy with great success, so the plan has been to use haproxy for load balancing the web servers as well. (not the same haproxy, obviously) The catch is that the existing website is HTTPS, and has been for well over a year. I want to have the load balancer handle the SSL end and use straight HTTP to the web servers to ease application debugging. As I'd never done SSL termination, I essentially copied one of the many template configs on the interwebs. Here's my problem. When I pull the page from the web server itself (HTTP) it renders fine. When I pull it through the load balancer (HTTPS) it doesn't with an error about mixed content. Based on my research this should make the client see everything as coming from an SSL source even if it doesn't: frontend lc_www bind *:80 bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/ssl/private/vif.pem acl secure dst_port eq 443 redirect scheme https if !{ ssl_fc } rspadd Strict-Transport-Security:\ max-age=31536000;\ includeSubDomains;\ preload rsprep ^Set-Cookie:\ (.*) Set-Cookie:\ \1;\ Secure if secure default_backend lc_webfarm backend lc_webfarm http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port] http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Proto https if { ssl_fc } server sb3 10.42.204.182:80 When I disable 'protection' in FF the site renders fine. When I enable SSL on the web servers directly, I do not get this error at all (and have never received this error in the near two years it's been HTTPS only). The website itself is joomla based, but I can't see how that's part of the problem. Is there something weird with my config? Or can someone begin to tell me where to start debugging. BTW, this is using the latest Haproxy v1.6. Any ideas? -- Mark Haney ::: Senior Systems Engineer *VIF* International Education P.O.

sudo disappears after latest update
by Ranjan Maitra 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Hello, I have a strange issue: my machine was updated via cron last noght. I rebooted this morning and several attempts, including rebooting into the older kernel do not seem to work in granting me sudo access. ~$ sudo dnf update [sudo] password for maitra: maitra is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. The password is correct because otherwise I would get the notificaiton that it is not so so that is not the issue. Short of reinstalling, how do I get around this? Note that I do not have root account, so I am not sure about what to do. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Meanwhile i'll keep crawling google

dovecot? systemd?
by Tom Horsley 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

I just did a "dnf update" and now dovecot won't start at boot. I get errors like: Feb 11 07:23:41 tomh systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=89/n/a Feb 11 07:23:41 tomh systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Unit entered failed state. Feb 11 07:23:41 tomh systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. And over in maillog for the same timestamp: Feb 11 07:23:41 tomh dovecot: master: Error: service(imap-login): listen(*, 993) failed: Address already in use Feb 11 07:23:41 tomh dovecot: master: Fatal: Failed to start listeners But if I manually do this a few minutes after I boot: sudo systemctl restart dovecot.service It then starts running with no problems. So who the heck is grabbing the imap ports when dovecot tries to start at boot?

Lan connection problem -
by Bob Goodwin 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

I have a problem that began about a week ago and keeps distracting me from other computer problems and I am beginning to think it may be related to a dnf update. I can work around the problem by having my router powered from a UPS and being careful not to reboot the router. Once the router reboots the various wireless devices I have, printer, video cameras, etc. need their ac power "recycled" to get them connected to the LAN again. Very inconvenient at this time of year since some of these devices are in another building ... When this happens I can not ping those devices, normally I should be able to connect to the cameras with the browser and reboot them when some glitch occurs but now when I lose the LAN connection I have to visit them and pull the plug. The printer is near at hand and toggling the power switch gets it back on. The problem is manifest on three updated Fedora-23 computers and I have replaced the router to no avail. What do I need to look at? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-23/64bit LINUX XFCE POP3
