Disable NetworkManager
by Sergio Belkin
Hi folks,
I'd want to disable NetworkManager, I've performed a minimal install and I
don't need it, please could you help me?
I've tried disabling using systemctl, but network.service does not set ip
address.
Thanks in advance

Entering Special Characters in new Gnome(Fedora 20)
by Antonio Olivares
Dear folks,
I got to use a compose key in previous versions of gnome or using a setxkbmap compose key when using other desktops. But in this machine using gnome, I can't do what I used to do:
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.3/tips-specialchars.html.en#com...
I want to do the same here since adding command(setxkbmap -option compose:ralt) to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile does not work. How can I add compose key or is there a new way to do it?
Best Regards,
Antonio

BTRFS scrub
by Jorge Fábregas
Hi all,
I'm experimenting for the first time with btrfs on a scratch partition
and I wanted to test the scrub feature with:
#btrfs scrub start /btrfs
..but this is what I get when I check the status:
#btrfs scrub status /btrfs
scrub status for 543c5220-30ec-472b-a8ec-8c4c49f1fd32
scrub started at Mon Jan 27 10:26:50 2014 and was aborted after 0 seconds
total bytes scrubbed: 0.00 with 0 errors
I assume of course that checksums for data & metadata are enabled. I
created the filesystem simply with:
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdc1
I'm not sure if I had to specify some option at creation time or if I
have to specify any at mount time (to enable the checksums).
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Jorge

Re: rkhunter warnings, maybe yum issues?

The file is not "/root/.readahead". The mystery file is "/.readahead". What is this mystery file?
Frank asks:

yes.

yes.
John says (regarding "rpm -qf --queryformat..." error codes)

But why all the rpm errors? Is yum not doing something that it should be doing during an update? Am I not doing something I should be doing? Is something wrong with RPM or my RPM database? What and where is the real bug, and what's the permanent fix?
John says (regarding prelink issues):

"prelink -qa" fixes things only until the next yum update. Should yum do a "prelink -qa" at the end of each update?
John says (regarding the GasKit rootkit warning):

Good. Thank-you, John.

Can't resume ThinkPad from suspend
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
I have a new ThinkPad (x240) running 3.12.8-300.fc20.x86_64. I can
suspend it just fine, but I can't resume. This is what I see in the
journal:

After this, I can't see anything when I tried to wake up my laptop. The
next thing I see is when I had to force a reboot.

Jan 27 11:51:44 localhost kernel: Initializing cgroup subsys cpu

... and so on.
How do I debug this? How can I get more information why the resume
fails? Thanks for any ideas.
Cheers,

restorecond error messages.
by Ed Greshko
Is anyone seeing errors such as this in their logs?
Jan 31 07:39:49 meimei restorecond: Warning! /root/.xauthlpj2gn-l refers to a file with more than one hard link, not fixing hard links.
Jan 31 07:39:49 meimei restorecond: (null) get context on /root/.xauthlpj2gn-n failed: 'No such file or directory'
Seems to me like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483371 may have resurfaced.

yum/dnf setup to download packaged after x days
by Ranjan Maitra
Hello,
This may be a pipe wish but I was wondering if there is a way to set up
yum or dnf such that it would download and install a package that has
been in the repos for a particular number of days.
Is this at all possible?
Why would anyone want this? I have suffered much (indeed for the first
time for the past ten years) because of the recent buggy selinux-related
rpm. I have tracked this down to my urge to keep my system updated on a
daily basis. I want to modulate this urge to only download and install
packages that have not been superseded within 3-4 days.
Btw, I don't know if this was at all possible, but it would have been
nice if a corrective rpm was pushed to fix all all those problems that
arose with the push of the bad selinux-related package. That would have
been really helpful beacause right now, it is impossible to tell where
the problem is with regard to a particular (seemingly unrelated)
package (such as pdfnup/pdfefit, or for that matter, flash-plugin).
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
