Fedora 23 will not boot if laptop lid closed

I have an old laptop that I use as a home server, so it sits in the corner closed most of the time.  Something changed with the last set of updates I applied so now if I reboot, it suspends in the middle of the boot process, and will not continue until I open the laptop, at which point it will cont

Work recently switched to a Palo Alto GlobalProtect based VPN, which works with vpnc. I am able to connect to it fine if I just configure the settings under "Identity" in NetworkManager using NetworkManager-vpnc. However, this sends all my traffic over the VPN, so it's not ideal. I should be abl

I've installed fail2ban on Fedora 15 to block repeated failed ssh connections. It works great up until logrotate kicks in. When it rotates /var/log/secure then fail2ban stops noticing failed ssh attempts. Using fail2ban-client to reload the jail fixes the problem, but it also causes fail2ban
