wicd problem 3: wicd blocking 1st attempt connection for firefox and yumex
by g 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

greetings, wicd is preventing firefox and yumex to connect to internet. when i first try to connect to a web site with firefox, i get err message; Unable to connect when i click [Try Again], connection is made. all further connection attempts are ok. when i try to run yumex, i get error message; Not connected to a network. Do you want to continue selecting [Yes] continues starting yumex, but i have active repositories. when i run yum cl command; ]$ yum check-update Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, presto, : refresh-packagekit, security, tmprepo, verify, versionlock Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6& arch=x86_64&repo=os error was 14: PYCURL ERROR 6 - "Couldn't resolve host 'mirrorlist.centos.org'" Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base when i run yum cl command again; ]$ yum check-update Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, presto, : refresh-packagekit, security, tmprepo, verify, versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile epel/metalink | 13 kB 00:00 which indicates yum has made connection. a 4th problem i see with 'wicd' is in post "Subject: wicd problem"; 4: wicd restarts itself when as root user making terminal commands -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait.

wicd problem 2: wicd does not sync when ifconfig commands are given from a terminal
by g 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

greetings, during past week or so, i have been having problems with mozilla firefox locking up kde desktop and i have to open a terminal to reboot system. to insure that i get kde back to a desired state, i make backups of ~/.kde path when ever i change any settings of kde. after system reboots and desktop manager is displayed, i <ctrl+alt+f1> to terminal, delete current ~/.kde, then copy ~/.kde-backup to ~/.kde. while in terminal, i run 'ifconfig' to see if network is connected, which it is, so i 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down' to disconnect. after starting kde, wicd icon in system tray is showing wicd has connection to network, which it does not. when i click wicd icon and then select 'disconnect', and close wicd window, then reopen wicd and select 'connect', there is no connection. a 3rd problem i see with 'wicd' is in post "Subject: wicd problem"; 3: wicd blocking 1st attempt connection for firefox and yumex -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait. He does. THAT explains it! -+- in a world with out fences, who needs gates. CentOS GNU/Linux 6.6 tc,hago. g .

wicd problem 1: wicd allows network to be connected on reboot
by g 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

greetings, i find this strange because i see problems when using 'wicd'. 1st problem is that wicd allows network to be connected on reboot, even when network is disconnected at time of reboot. such does not seem to be good because i leave system up 24/7/365 and if there is a mains failure and ups takes system down, system will come back up with network connected, which i prefer not to have happen. is there a way to set up 'wicd' so that it does not start connected? a 2nd problem i see with 'wicd' is in post "Subject: wicd problem"; 2: wicd does not sync when ifconfig commands are given from a terminal -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait. He does. THAT explains it! -+- in a world with out fences, who needs gates. CentOS GNU/Linux 6.6 tc,hago. g .

We are giving RHEL-7 a pass on this iteration. We have installed it on a couple of test hosts and are not favourably impressed with much of the user interface. At least not from the sys-admin side of things. This is not to imply that there is nothing good in 7. There are at lot of improvements that we certainly value. But it is too early in systemd development for us to waste time debugging somebody else's pipe-dream on our dime. We will see what 8 offers and decide then whether to move to something else.

Timeout before trust answer with iPhone iOS 8
by David McGuffey 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Until recently I've not had any problem connecting my iPhone 4s with iOS 8 to my CentOS 6.6 desktop to move pictures and videos. Problem occurs with my wife's new iPhone 5s. Now, before I can answer the "Trust This Computer" message on the iPhone, I get a DBus error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" Searching this message reveals a lot of complaints by users on Ubuntu and a bug in a library. But this was back in 2012-2013. Couldn't find anything related to CentOS. Appears to be a timing issue...the timer expires before I can respond to the trust question on the iPhone. Any guidance on how to fix this? Is there a timeout setting somewhere down in udev, fuse, or gvfs? DaveM

Generally Usenet News servers maintained posts for a limited period of time. If you did not connect to obtain the news-feed within that window then all earlier posts were 'lost' to you. Thus encapsulating the entire discussion in chronological order in each reply compensated for the technological (storage) limits prevalent in the 1980/90s. The orthodox justification for bottom-posting is often exemplified by tag lines similar in content to the following: > Because it makes following the discussion hard. >> Why is top-posting wrong? >>> You are top-posting. >>>> What is wrong with my message? However, forcing your correspondents to wade through an interminable wall of text that regurgitates the previous thread before getting to the point of the message arguably interferes with proper understanding no less than top-posting does. I am unaware of any scientific study that purports to support either position. So, in the absence of that I conclude: De gustibus non est disputandum. At this point the practice, particularly for archived mailing lists, is little more than dogmatic adherence to a style that serves only to distinguish the 'in group' from the 'other'. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

Unbound nodes using numactl
by Mahmoud A. A. Ibrahim 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Dear Centos Users We were wondering how can we change the default policy of numactl. In other words, our cluster has 10 servers, each server has two nodes, and each node has 16 cores. Recently, we observed a poor performance of our cluster when a couple of jobs run on the same server. By investigating the problem, we found that each job moves randomly among the 32 cores of the server. This returns to the fact that the 32 cores of each server bound together as seen below. How can we make our server back to two numa nodes? Any kind of support will be highly appreciated. B.T.W. We use Rocks6.1 Thanks in advance Sincerely; M.
