Every time there is a new release of Linux distro, I need to create a bootable USB. And, I forgot how I did it last time. So, I tried by using the “Startup Disk Creator” program installed on my Ubuntu workstation, only to find out that it didn’t even work. After a while I remember, it was just a matter of using dd command to copy the ISO image to the USB. ...
While updating Ansible pip package on Fedora 24 today, I got the following error message gcc: error: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1: No such file or directory I believe I came across this problem before when I installed a ruby gem on Centos 6 a short while back. Unfortunately, I already forgot how I’d solved it. So here’s a note to remind myself or anyone who’s having the same issue. We need to install a package called: redhat-rpm-config. ...

(I only found this later, and it’s very informative.)

To do that, I need to ssh into the VM. Here’s how we can find the IP address of running VMs. Let’s list the VMs available: ...
I just finished upgrading Fedora 22 to Fedora 23 Beta and upon rebooting, gdm no longer started. I tried to reinstall the VirtualBox Guest Additions; unfortunately it still didn’t fix. To cut the story short, someone has given a working tip at this forum. The solution is to downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg package. # dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt; cd /mnt # ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run # reboot After rebooting, I was able to login again. ...
