outlier posted:Yes. Otherwise, I'd immediately look at the laptop as being the issue. Based on what you've said, this has to be an IP block from somewhere. It's possible your image came with denyhosts or fail2ban running by default, and you failed to log in too many times when you were first standing it up. It won't be iptables, but it's definitely something that sshd is checking after you've successfully connected and shared RSA fingerprints. Check ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to see if there's anything in there. Check /etc/hosts.deny. Check /var/log/messages for anything after your failed login attempt. See if denyhosts or fail2ban are installed, and check their config files to see where they keep their failed login data to see if your home IP is in there.

Are you sure you're connected to your own wifi and not some rando nearby public access point? Is this the default SSH configuration on your AMI? If so, which one are you running?

Yup, it's definitely my home wifi. The only thing I changed about the SSH config on the server was the port. I did have denyhosts running but shut it off a while ago because it kept blocking me. (Ha!) Does denyhosts patch iptables possibly be lingering around? I do have fail2ban running, but it stores everything in hosts.deny, doesn't it?

While I don't advocate using these for anything remotely resembling a proper linux environment, on the few AWS instances I maintain for side projects, I generally use the okean sino-korea IP blacklists which I fetch via cron.daily. It's not going to make your boxes ironclad by any stretch of the imagination, but it HAS cut down a great deal on comment spam and ssh brute force attempts. Your mileage may vary.

The Intel Atom uses the same AMD64/x86_64 instruction set used by the i3/5/7 processor families. It's not an instruction set issue. If it supports debianoids you should in principle be able to get other linuxes running on it, but there may be some configuration/driver fuckery needed if it has unusual hardware in it. I know people have successfully gotten SUSE 13 running on the NUC. If you explain what went wrong when you tried installing CentOS rather than just "it didn't work", you have better odds of someone being able to help you.

If the ownership of a file (in a debian system) is "myusername root" when shown with $ ls -l , is that...uh, bad? I had to change ownership of some files to get them to run even though they're in /etc/openvpn and I think everything in /etc/ should probably be "root root" but I am a privileges newb.

What do you mean by "to get them to run"? The /etc/openvpn should usually only contain configuration files etc., and I think (on Debian) it might have one shell-script in it. Do you actually have to execute something in there?

Got another problem which I think also started when I upgraded to 15.04. If I middle click and drag to scroll, vertical scrolling works fine, but horizontal is inverted for me. This only affects some apps like gedit and nemo I have noticed so far (GTK specific ones maybe?). Other apps, such as chrome or firefox for example, scroll as I would expect in both vertical and horizontal directions. This is on Cinnamon Desktop, not sure if the issue is specific to cinnmamon or not.

Does anyone know if the issue with dualbooting Win7/Linux using Grub has been resolved on the windows side? Or am I still risking some bootloader voodoo if I boot into windows and let it do all those updates? About a month ago someone here mentioned that recent windows updates were forcing people with Grub to choose a windows bootloader instead and that sounds like a risky headache. I've got a drive partioned in to two segments, rather than two separate drives which might complicate it.

I've got a drive partioned in to two segments, rather than two separate drives which might complicate it. I had the issue, but I have my Windows and Linux installs on separate SSDs, so it was easy enough for me to change the boot order manually and boot to the Windows bootloader instead of GRUB. It was one particular update to blame - KB3033929. If you want to manually deselect it then I believe the others should be fine. It shows as a known issue in the Microsoft knowledge base: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3033929 I did find a couple pages referring to it, and a walkthrough of temporarily removing and then replacing GRUB on a single-drive dual-boot: http://www.idigitaltimes.com/how-fix-windows-7-update-reboot-loop-problems-microsofts-kb3033929-patch-causing-422816 http://darkling.poppameth.com/windows-update-kb3033929-update-loop/ I don't know if there might be another workaround, like with BartPE disk or the like - like I said, I was lucky enough to just be able to swap boot order to get around it.

Feel free to yell at me if this is the wrong thread. It's a pretty mundane thing. I'm setting up a desktop in our basement for me and my roommates (for those times laptops fail or they just want an easy to access printer during D&D). I installed Linux Mint 17.1 MATE on there, added a couple of extra users, everything's good. I even set up one of one of the cool login windows that came with it. However, that's where I run into problems. It displays fine when initially starting up, when logging out, or when switching a user off. However, if you switch off user A, log on as user B, then at some point later in time log off user B, it just goes to the boring rear end lock screen of user A instead of the cool login theme I set up. Any idea how to fix this?

I'm running in traditional mode, but the small screen mode just looks like an activity mode to me. And its the flat look that I am not liking, tbh. Well, that, and the fact that it wiped out my themes and appearance tweaks, as well as all my settings(where is my desktop cube? Why isn't yakuake loading at login anymore?) I think my fundamental problem is that it feels like a windows upgrade, instead of the way every other KDE upgrade I have done has gone, where I could at least still see my wallpaper after the upgrade. (I admit that these are just gripes, and minor annoyances, but dammit!) My bigger problem is that my backup script has apparently broken and I need to debug it to figure out what its doing wrong. I thought I had that thing working right to be reliable.

I take it you weren't using KDE for the 3.x -> 4.x upgrade? 4.x -> 5.x has been a much smoother transition, though there are definitely some rough edges still. I just did a poor-man's upgrade to 15.10 on my laptop: replace all occurrences of vivid with wily in /etc/apt/sources.list. There aren't many differences right now, but I'm looking forward to getting (I think) Plasma 5.4 when it's released/packaged/etc.

Server setup (and stuff like generating CAs for openvpn or /etc/pki) is often done as an openvpn service account (that comes with the package) or as root. You shouldn't expect to do it as your user. Your user does your user's stuff. If you need to do system stuff, you su to a service account, to root, or use su. evol262 understood me despite my poor phrasing!  If you could not execute things on your normal user, chances are they are system files. And if you use sudo to change ownership, why not just use sudo to actually run the programs that didn't work otherwise? This is my openvpn directory on Debian: code:

Apologies if this is more of a COBOL question, but this is maybe a Fedora-specific problem so I thought it would be best to ask it here. I'm working on a project using GLFW. We've set it up so that the GLFW cmake script is called from our own CMakeLists.txt, so GLFW is being treated as if it's part of our own project. This works fine on the 'ancient' CentOS machines in our school's computer lab, but now I want to work from my laptop, which has had Fedora on it since yesterday. The problem is that when I run cmake, I see this: code:I know there's a GLFW package, but my partner and I agreed to build all libraries for this project from source so that we can keep it consistent across multiple systems. I ran the Intel Graphics Drivers Installer, thinking that maybe this was a problem with the drivers provided by Fedora, but that hasn't solved the problem. Maybe the school's sysadmins used blood magic to make everything work okay on CentOS. tl;dr wtf do i have to do to compile against opengl on fedora edit: Nevermind, it turns out I needed mesa-libGL-devel. And I also needed a whole bunch of libraries but I found them all. Compile -> install library mentioned in error -> repeat. Yaoi Gagarin fucked around with this message at 20:51 on May 16, 2015 |

Oh Ubuntu: I had Lubuntu 14.10 installed, and recently upgraded to 15.04, then installed Gnome Shell. This sets a default lockscreen and desktop background that says Debian 8 on it! I'm thinking of taking the hint and going back to Debian now. evol262 posted:There's a difference, but mostly in philosophy (Fedora and other Red Hat distros don't start services when packages are installed and try to upstream everything; Debian starts services when installed and maintains their own patchsets if upstream doesn't like it; Arch doesn't start services, doesn't contribute any code and doesn't get any real testing). Now a question: Debian will automatcially start the daemon for any new packages you install. Is it possible to change this behaviour so that it behaves more like Fedora/RedHat and doesn't start any daemons after install? Re Arch - Although I'm sure they don't contribute much upstream compared to RedHat, Arch does provide a significant install base for bleeding edge packages, especially desktop ones. This can be valuable testing, and hopefully the bugs discovered do get reported upstream. It's clearly going to vary greatly with the individual package maintainer, and relies on users to report stuff concientiously too.

It's clearly going to vary greatly with the individual package maintainer, and relies on users to report stuff concientiously too. Arch is about as bleeding edge as Fedora Rawhide (which is much more stable than it used to be, and more stable than Arch), with a userbase not much larger. But the real issue is that Arch users tend to report issues on their forums, and other users (or package maintainers) give them lovely workarounds on those forums instead of reporting bugs, or, god forbid, submitting patches. They don't report bugs. They just complain. Beyond which, the vast majority of bugs fixed are in released Fedora versions/development openstack/etc (if they're obvious workflow problems that didn't get caught in CI somehow) or in LTS/EL versions if they're obscure (like "I have 175 LUNs unmasked on this HBA, and the installer only shows 100 disks -- my local disk isn't visible!"). Basically zero bug reports come from Arch or Arch users. They're ur-consumers. Arch is the guy who shows up to your pot luck with nothing, eats all the food, drinks all the beer, complains that you have no craft beer to everyone who's attending, then goes home and writes a butthurt post on their facebook page about how your party sucked and they'd do it so much better.
