After rebooting I get this in the output of xrandr:



HDMI2 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
 1920x1080 60.00 + 50.00 59.94 24.00 23.98


I then try to set it up:



xrandr --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of eDP1


At this point nothing happens on the external screen, my main screen just flickers once, and when I run xrandr again I get this:



HDMI2 disconnected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm


If I then restart X or reboot I get back to square one.



In the systemd journal I see a possibly related issue:




i915 0000:00:02.0: HDMI-A-2: EDID is invalid:




(It's probably worth noting that it does not say that the EDID checksum is invalid)



I've tried deleting ~/.config/monitors.xml and rebooting, but with no luck.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
