Ok, I give up. After the last month or so, gwenview takes literally five minutes or so to come up, gagging because I have nepomuk turned off in kde. Today, it just will not come up at all, even trying gwenview pic.jpg. Are there any other ->light weight<- image viewers in the standard repositories, including epel? I DO NOT WANT OR NEED a "semantic desktop" (aka bloat, suitable for people who have no knowledge and don't want any of COMPUTERS (who perhaps should get a Mac)). Note that I saw an old post from aurelian (sp?) on their website, that nepomuk wasn't for "you if you're comfortable with directories and files", which sounds like me.* So, something that is NOT "the k3wl3st thing since sliced bread", not the "LATEST THING", but just an fscking image viewer? Is kuickshow still around (and if so, in what package)? mark, annoyed * As opposed to the folks who REALLY BELIEVE in icons... as in, I've seen desktops that couldn't hold all the icons, and you had to scroll. *So* much more user-friendly than lists and folders....

Is there a rpm command to find the package that created a particular user or particular group?
by Rob Townley 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Given a particular user or particular group, is there a rpm command that returns what package created that particular user or particular group? Analogous to `rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/security/limits.conf` returns the package "pam". Is there an rpm command that returns what package generated a particular user? Most of us already know that the httpd package is associated with the user apache. But there are passwd and group entries that i would like to verify and want to know exactly how they got on my system. Further i would like to know which the security implications of adding another group to a user account. Something like the following command: `rpm --query --user apache` would return "httpd" `rpm --query --group pulse-access` might return pulseaudio

Can someone help confirm a bug? kio_http kdegraphics
by Kwan Lowe 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hello: I'm trying to track down a kio_http problem using CentOS 6.4 with KDE. This causes multiple kio_http procs to spawn and lots of notifications. Several steps are needed: Create a foo.html with an href foo.html <html><head>Test</head><body><a href=http://ovh.com>http://ovh.com</a></body></html> [^] Use html2ps then ps2pdf to create a PDF document html2ps foo.html>foo.ps ps2pdf foo.ps okular foo.pdf Using the KDE desktop, open the PDF in Okular then click the click. Immediately there are desktop notifications that website was contacted and waiting for reply. A 'ps -ef' shows man kio_http processes being spawned. I'm not able to reproduce on all random websites, but the ovh.com always does so. This link was found in the latest Linux Journal so others may inadvertently cause this.

Ok... digging still more into this problem that I'm *still* fighting, using mplayer and a higher debug level, what I *think* the significant message is (this is just one example line): libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 5 more bits fps = 15.626953, interval = 0.096001, a_skew = 0.000000, corr_skew = 0.000000 vcnt = 1, acnt = 0 Which seems to indicate that for some reason, on *some* hardware, libv4lconvert is doing something wrong that it did correctly in the last kernel. Is anyone using an older USB webcam that can look at this issue? I can't really test it on our RHEL box (well, I suppose I could try) to put in a ticket with them. This is CentOS 6.4, and it's current, 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP kernel. mark And in other news, Linus renames the current release, 3.11 kernel, Linux for Workgroups (for real)....

Server dies after kernel upgrade
by Chris Taylor 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

I am running a server with CentOS release 6.4 (Final) and the kernel version of 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 and everything looks ok, but when I do a yum update on the kernel to update it to a newer version "2.6.32-358.11.1.el6". It will not restart after the required reboot. It will start to load until the task bar at the bottom gets to the end than it stops loading I have been patient with it unless it requires more time to start but after 10min it was still just sitting at the task bar. This is a VM machine so I just revert to a previous snapshot, but what should I be looking for that would cause this, and how should I fix it? Thanks, Chris

Possible Kernel user escalation issue for CentOS-6.4
by Johnny Hughes 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

The following kernel has been built while waiting for upstream to release a new kernel that addresses CVE-2013-2224: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/c6kernel/2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.cve20132224/ Please see this upstream bug for details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979936 ========================= Note: This kernel has been minimally tested and is provided as is for people who do not want to wait for the official kernel. It is the standard CentOS kernel with one added patch ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=767364) This kernel needs to be tested for fitness by each user before being placed in production. It is a best effort to mitigate an issue that can cause local user escalation to root while waiting for upstream to fix and QA the official kernel. Use at your own risk. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Mac client to freenx?
by Les Mikesell 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Now that Mac lion/mountain lion versions of OSX don't support the old powerpc binaries like the NX 3.5 client any more, what is the best approach to connect to freenx on Centos - the new 'nxplayer' from nomachine.com, opennx, or something else? Google seems to show mixed opinions and quirks with each. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

curl ciphers name mapping openssl to curl format?
by Rafał Radecki 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi All. In curl manual: --ciphers -> "(SSL) Specifies which ciphers to use in the connection. The list of ciphers must specify valid ciphers. Read up on SSL cipher list details on this URL:http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html" In openssl: http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_SUITE_NAMES there are names such as "SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA RC4-SHA" but curl --ciphers RC4-SHA https://xxx.yyy curl: (59) Unknown cipher in list: RC4-SHA the same for --ciphers SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA the same. But for: curl --ciphers rsa_rc4_128_sha https://xxx.yyy the command works. Can you tell how to map strings from openssl to curl's format? I've searched the web but with no luck ;) Best regards, Rafal Radecki.
