Re: F21 systemd log flood - how to stop
by Andy Hairston
After even more Google searching, I found the command
systemd-analyze set-log-level warn
Running this as root, I got:
Failed to issue method call: Access denied
Strangely, I can run it with 'notice' instead of 'warn', and it silently
completes - probably meaning it's already set to notice.
Why does this produce an 'access denied' message even when run as root?

mdadm or LVM for software raid?
by Tom Horsley
I see mdadm is one cryptic way to setup a software raid
and I saw some note somewhere that says LVM also supports
software raid1. Any reason one is better than the other
(or does LVM not actually do raid and I misread something)?
My BIOS also has some sort of Intel raid helper hardware
thing, but I can't imagine there would be a good reason
to use it since all the data would become nearly inaccessible
trash if I have to replace the motherboard :-).

enabling keybindings for brightness/volume, etc on laptop (F21 LXDE)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I am running a fully-updated F21 LXDE installed from the official spin. How does one enable the laptop keybindings for brightness, volume, etc? Do I need an additional package, etc?
Many thanks,
Ranjan

Raid vs rsync -
by Bob Goodwin
I had a mainboard fail in a box I use as a server, I moved the hard
drive into old computer and carried on from there. Now I've replaced the
board and intended to set it up using Raid to mirror two drives. However
I have been wondering if it wouldn't work just as well to periodically
rsync the drive in use with a second drive?
That seems a more direct approach and I could easily check to make
certain that the second drive was a usable copy, insurance against loss
of data.
Am I going wrong somewhere in my thinking?

F21: Gnome doesn't work on i686 Dell Laptop
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
Recently, I "fresh installed" F21 on a Dell i686 Inspiron Laptop.
I had been running F18 on it, and just wanted to jump to the newest
release w/o stepping through F19 and F20. I kept the /home partition, and
wiped everything else out.
Xfce and Mate Desktops start and are very functional.
Any variant of Gnome (new version and Classic) reports an equivalent
screen-of-death with the message reading "A problem has occurred, and the
system can't recover."
The /var/log/messages file is very extensive; it begins with:
Mar 18 19:06:49 MercToo systemd-logind: New session 14 of user pyz.
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo org.a11y.Bus: g_dbus_connection_real_closed:
Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on
an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo org.a11y.atspi.Registry:
g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying
GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0).
Exiting.
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo gdm: Child process 1024 was already dead.
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo gdm: Unable to kill session worker process
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo org.gtk.vfs.Daemon: A connection to the bus can't
be made
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo org.gtk.vfs.Daemon: g_dbus_connection_real_closed:
Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on
an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo ca.desrt.dconf: g_dbus_connection_real_closed:
Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on
an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.
Mar 18 19:06:50 MercToo gnome-session: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:1136):
WARNING **: Name taken or bus went away - shutting down
...
and goes on like that.
I've done various "yum groupinstalls" hoping to get all of the various
missing dependencies and missing libraries. Obviously, I'm missing
something.
I noticed that someone (on a similar Gnome problem) said to check for a
list of services using systemctl to see if they are enabled; I did that,
and everything seems to be correctly enabled.
Is this problem resolvable on an i686 system? I'd like to resolve this
first, before upgrading my x86_64-based machines.
I have no loyalties to Gnome; I'd just like to function close to their
intended design. And take it as a sign of possible other problems in the
even that they don't.

F21 SSH sends TCP keep-alive - server RSTs
by Robert Moskowitz
For some reason, after LOTS of idle chatter between my F21 SSH client
and the server (I am assuming these are SSH application keep-alives), my
F21 SSH client sends a TCP keep-alive. This is after some long time of
the client NOT sending an SSH idle packet.
As soon as the server receives this TCP keep-alive, it sends a TCP RST
and that 'breaks the pipe'.
So what in the client determines the rate of SSH keep-alives and for how
long inactive?
Then with the app level inactive, why the TCP keep-alive?
Or do I take this question to the OpenSSH list?

Cannot umount ntfs-36 with umount command
by dabicho
Hello
I am having a problem with umountint an ntfs-3g mounted filesystem
This is the output I get from the commands
[siirfe@010121 ~]$ mount /mnt/mac/
[siirfe@010121 ~]$ mount |grep mac
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/mac type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=1002,group_id=1002,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[siirfe@010121 ~]$ umount /mnt/mac/
umount: /mnt/mac: umount failed: Operation not permitted
[siirfe@010121 ~]$ grep mac /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/by-label/SIIRFE_MAC /mnt/mac auto

[siirfe@010121 ~]$ fusermount -u /mnt/mac/
fusermount -u works correctly
What is going on here? what am I missing?
I don't use gnome nor kde
I appreciate any input. Thank you
