F21 Interface renaming
by Weiner, Michael
I am running a Fedora 21 workstation, and I am trying to run Schrodinger software package which requires a license and a 'flexnet' type of license manager. The issue is that the it expects to bind with ethXX which we all know is not the default naming convention any more. Great, ok, I google and fine some tips about renaming:
1) append "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" to /etc/default/grub GRUB_COMMAND_LINUX (doesn't seem to have any affect)
2) ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules (which doesn't exist on my system)
3) /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (file doesn't exist, in fact /etc/udev/rules.d is completely empty)
4) Removing biosdevname (which of course doesn't exist on this system)
and of course renaming the config files and changing the 'Name' in the files. I reboot, and no matter what I do it refuses to work, ifconfig still lists the old device names, and 'ifconfig eth0' fails and complains that the device doesn't exist.
Any known good working solutions or a direction to try?
Thanks in advance
Michael

Sub windows in gnome
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I used to use gnome (in fc22), I can control the windows, i.e., maximize,
minimize, and close the windows from the buttons available in the titlebar.
However, when the gnome application open sub windows, these options
disappear (I only have the option to right click on the windows title and
use the menu). The full control on the sub window was available before version fc22.
xmgrace is a good example of the mentioned behaviour.
Thank for your help.

OT: free space on usb drive after ISO
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
I bought a bunch of 16G thumb drives to keep o/s ISOs on. Since most of
the ISO's use 1.1G or less I'd like to reclaim the unused space.
Since the ISOs copy onto the raw drive, I don't think partitioning is an
option. dd can copy data on and off but I'd like something more
generally usable. Anybody think of a way to put a filesystem onto one
of these things starting at e.g. 2G? If so, how could/would it be made
accessible to file managers like thunar, nautilus, cli tools, etc.
Thanks to any takers,
Mike Wright

simple wget question
by bruce
Hi.
I know.. off topic questions are usually frowned upon!
I was curious as to why the following wget returns a 403/forbidden. The
base url is accessed via the ff/chrome browser.. As far as I can tell/see,
the cmd should match what the network is seeing regarding the
headers/traffic.
Any thoughts.. thanks

Problem with mail from crond
by Jon Ingason
I have problem with mail from crond. I have cron job which sends mail to
root. I get following line in /var/log/maillog:
Apr 8 15:00:03 lea sSMTP[1954]: Invalid response SMTP server
I have google this and have not found any solution that works for me. It
worked very well before Fedora abandoned sendmail. I understand that I
should configure /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf but has not got it working.
I just want to be able to send mail between my user on my server :-)
How do I do that?

converting to btrfs
by Jeffrey Ross
I had an raid1 partition with ext4 on it which was empty.
it was /dev/md124 which was made up of /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1, I decided
to change this to be a btrfs partition.
Initially I figured I'd simply unmount /dev/md124 and simply do a
"mkfs.btrfs -f -L home2 /dev/md124" and remount the partition, however
after doing some reading I believe btrfs supports raid1 directly without
using the software raid driver md (?).
so I then tried "mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 -L home2 -f /dev/sdb1
/dev/sda1" and something was successfully created but this is where I am
confused, is this truly a raid1 partition? secondly mounting this
partition I simply specify something like "mount /dev/sda1 /mntpoint".
I can see -
# btrfs filesystem show
Label: 'home2' uuid: 635be1e8-31d2-4b5c-b81c-1ec2cd8d9101
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 664.00KiB
devid 1 size 376.46GiB used 2.01GiB path /dev/sdb1
devid 2 size 376.46GiB used 2.01GiB path /dev/sda1
To me this looks like two different partitions but I maybe wrong, so
assuming it is one raid partition how would I go around having this auto
mounted in /etc/fstab? I would assume this entry -
UUID=635be1e8-31d2-4b5c-b81c-1ec2cd8d9101 /home2 btrfs defaults 0 0
but I'm looking for some confirmation first that I actually have a raid
partition and I've done everything correctly first.
Lastly if I'm reading correctly the system will NOT automatically mount a
degraded array, how can I force it to automatically mount on a reload even
if the array is degraded.
Thanks, Jeff

disable middle mouse button?
by Chris Murphy
This is on GNOME.
Is there a way to disable the middle button? It's completely
unworkable for me with an Apple magic mouse, which has no discrete
buttons. It just has regions, and where my finger naturally resides,
about 30% of the time it gets interpreted as a middle button click.
This pastes garbage when I do it in Terminal, and it causes tabs to
inexplicably vanish in Firefox. So it's really unworkable but I can't
figure out any way in the UI to disable it.
Thanks,

Wi-Fi Network Preference Ordering
by Christopher Thielen
Hi Fedora community,
I have Fedora 23 and am using the default Gnome 3 desktop environment.
I have two wi-fi networks within reach of my laptop and Fedora always
auto-joins with the network with a weaker signal. I believe it is
choosing to do so because the weaker signal is the one I first provided
a password for months ago.
I have not been able to determine a way to set the wi-fi network
auto-join order preference. Is it possible to change the preference order?
Thanks for any tips,
Christopher Thielen

kernel config.gz file on livecd?
by thibaut noah
Hi guys, i'm looking for the path of the kernel config.gz on the livecd, i
thought it was in /proc/config.gz but there is nothing there.
Since i assume this is a mandatory file even for the live os it has to be
on the system, any idea where it is? I googled it but all my research
points the /proc/config.gz
I need this file to make a diff with my arch config.gz so i can customize
it the fedora way and improve my vga passthrough gaming performances.

Fedora 23 installation failed and symptoms destroyed
by D. Hugh Redelmeier
The system is a newly assembled and installing Fedora 23 from live DVD is
its first use. The processor is Skylake (I guess that might matter).
GPT partitioning and UEFI firmware are being used.
Fedora 23 installation seems to work fine until it says that it is
installing the bootloader. At this point, some error message is probably
produced but it gets completely lost in SPAM from journald.
The desktop becomes unresponsive. All the consoles are filled with
messages like this:
[TIMESTAMP] systemd-journald[PID]: Failed to write entry (N items, N bytes), ignoring: Read-only file system
In one of the many attempts to install, there was a message about an
I/O error. But it didn't seem to say anything beyond ERRNO=5.
Before the desktop becomes completely unresponsive, it is unable to launch
any programs (including GNOME Terminal).
I assume that journald is trying to log to a RAMdisk. This shouldn't
be a problem: the system has 32G of RAM.
Is there a way to stop journald messing up the record with its own
(possibly recursive) complaints? That would help us figure out what the
original problem is.
Permutations attempted:
- installing to HDD vs SSD
- pre-partitioning with gparted vs specifying partitions to the
installer vs giving the installer a free had at choosing the partitioning.
A subsequent Ubuntu installation succeeded. I don't know which
version. But Fedora 23 is preferred.
(I'm not present for all this -- I'm helping via phone. So I might easily
be missing some important observation.)
