how to disable dhcp on a fedora client?
by François Patte 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Bonjour, I want to set a static IP adress for a laptop on my local network. So I wrote a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlp3s0 like this: DEVICE=wlp3s0 HWADDR=c4:d9:87:a6:67:33 TYPE=Wireless BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.29 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 MODE=Managed ESSID=Meenakshi DNS1=192.168.1.1 But it seems that, in fact, dhcp protocole is still in use as I can read in the boot log: déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> (wlp3s0): supplicant interface state: associating -> 4-wa déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> (wlp3s0): supplicant interface state: 4-way handshake -> déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> (wlp3s0): Activation: (wifi) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configu déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> (wlp3s0): device state change: config -> ip-config (reaso déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> Activation (wlp3s0) Beginning DHCPv4 transaction (timeout déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> dhclient started with pid 1433 déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon dhclient[1433]: DHCPREQUEST on wlp3s0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x76518119) déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon dhclient[1433]: DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1 (xid=0x76518119) déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> address 192.168.1.29 déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> plen 24 (255.255.255.0) déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> gateway 192.168.1.1 déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> server identifier 192.168.1.1 déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> lease time 86400 déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> nameserver '192.168.1.1' déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> nameserver '192.168.1.1' déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> domain name 'home' déc. 21 08:19:19 berrichon NetworkManager[1028]: <info> (wlp3s0): DHCPv4 state changed unknown -> bound How to stop that?

How to change delete behavior in Thunar

Dear All, Is it possible to configure Thunar so that a delete action corresponds only to move the files to trash instead of deleting them permanently? Thanks in advance, Paul

WD My Passport Ultra 3T usb drive problem
by Gregory P. Ennis 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Everyone, I just purchased 3 WD My Passport Ultra 3T usb drives that I had hoped to use for archive files for some digital images. Looks like WD has made it difficult to use for Linux. The google searches that I did stepped me through mounting it on a Windows 10 system and then formatting it with nts. Unfortuantely, when I tried to connect it to Fedora 24 I am still not able to recognize it to mount it. All of the /dev/sd* entries were the same before and after I plugged it in. Smartmontools appears to recognize it when it is plugged in a usb port, but pauses and does not finish its execution to completion. gparted scans all devices and does not finish when the drive is plugged in a usb port. Has anyone in the group figured out how to use these drives? Thanks for you help!!!! Greg Ennis

startx doesn't work in Fedora 25
by Rick Walker 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Just updated from F25 to F25. No longer have a working KDE desktop. I'm configured for graphical boot, but just get a console. startx just errored out and returned after X11 died. I cobbled together a simple .xinitrc and am running a very painful fvwm. Am I missing something simple? Do I just need to use a different command to start the desktop in F25? kind regards, -- Rick Walker

Auto suspend stopped working on my workstation
by Matthew Saltzman 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

It happened a few weeks ago, so I don't recall what updates might be involved, but my workstation used to suspend itself after some minutes of inactivity. Then after some update (a kernel was involved, I believe, in case that might matter), it seems to have stopped. Even auto screen blanking doesn't work now. The settings haven't changed. How to troubleshoot? Thx. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

Silly mistake. Now I have two 'default routes'.
by Ron Leach 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

List, good evening, I wanted to change a Fedora 24 server's default outgoing route, using CLI over a local SSH connection. I found the ip command, read the man page for ip route, and gave the command: ron # ip route add default via 192.168.0.70 dev enp0s9 The server uses a static IP and its original gateway address was 192.168.0.60. Now I have ron # ip route show default via 192.168.0.70 dev enp0s9 default via 192.168.0.60 dev enp0s9 proto static metric 100 [...] So I have created two 'default' routes. I've misunderstood the man page, and I thought I'd better ask for some advice before I did any more damage. I want to reach the situation where the server has only one default route, for all traffic, which is to a gateway machine with IP address 192.168.0.70 . Should I remove both these entries, and then try 'add'ing a new default route? If so, how ought I remove these entries? Or is there a better way to correct this mistake? Grateful for any help, regards, Ron

ssh X forwarding fails when sshing into F25
by Eric Smith 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I have F24 on my laptop (vaio), and F25 on my desktop (p1). Back when both ran F24, I could from the laptop do "ssh -X p1" to get an ssh session with X forwarding. Now that I've upgraded the desktop to F25, when I try to do that, I get the ssh session, but with an error "X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0", and the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, whereas before it would be set to "localhost:10.0". Running the sshd server with debugging shows that the problem is with binding the X11 forwarding ports (6010 and up); debug3: receive packet: type 98 debug1: server_input_channel_req: channel 0 request x11-req reply 1 debug1: session_by_channel: session 0 channel 0 debug1: session_input_channel_req: session 0 req x11-req debug3: sock_set_v6only: set socket 9 IPV6_V6ONLY debug2: bind port 6010: Cannot assign requested address debug3: sock_set_v6only: set socket 9 IPV6_V6ONLY debug2: bind port 6011: Cannot assign requested address ... and so on through port 7009 ifconfig on the desktop shows that I have an inet6 address on the Ethernet interface enp10s0 (which I don't actually want), but no inet6 address on lo. route shows that I have no ipv6 routes. What do I need to change to get sshd to successfully bind a suitable port (e.g., 6010)?

Re: USB lost after suspend

I said: > After restarting from a suspend, some of my USB-connected devices (MP3 players, > to be precise) no longer show up in the output from usb-devices (1). This a > relatively new phenomena. Kernel is 4.8.13-100.fc23.x86_64. Previously, after > a suspend I would have to reconnect the USB connection to have them visible, > but that workaround is no longer effective. A re-boot works fine :-( > Is there a way to restart whatever code is supposed to discover the USB? Additional info: A USB mouse is detected and operates normally A USB hard drive is not detected (dmesg|tail shows nothing) The MP3 players are formatted as vfat
