C7 and hplip
by Alessandro Baggi 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

Hi list, I've a printer model HP ENVY 5530 (AIO) configured in wifi. I've configured this printer on my C7(1511) workstation using hplip and cups. Printer is installed e configured. After installation I try to send a test print page and it is printed. After reboot, I try to print other doc, and I got it printed only on grey-scale and if I try to send another test print page from hplip or cups I obtain a gray-scale print and half page with wrong size (like if the "image" is printed on A3). If I remove printer and re-add it, the test page output mode is color but after a reboot it come back to gray-scale mode but in configuration is selected color. hplip version is 3.13.7. Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks in advance.

CentOS7 changes strike again.
by Rob Kampen 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Still in the process of migrating from an old CentOS5 server to a brand new CentOS7. After finally getting Virtualbox-5.0 installed and a new Wondoze10 Pro installed it became time to shift the data from the old server to the new. The old server is headless and I installed the old WindozeXP into the Virtualbox4.x via the command line. To do some of the admin I needed to attach to the windoze via a gui and used rdesktop via an ssh tunnel of port 3389. This "just worked" with my old CentOS6 laptop and workstations. So now I try to connect to the old server via my laptop also running a recent CentOS7 install using rdesktop - no joy. the ssh command is >ssh servername -L 3389:127.0.0.1:3389 and then also from my laptop rdesktop -a 16 -N 127.0.0.1:3389 -u rkampen -p- only to get ERROR: Failed to open display: various google searches offer suggestions prepending DISPLAY=:0.0 gives Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified ERROR: Failed to open display: :0.0 tried setting selinux to permissive mode - still no joy. All this just worked with my old CentOS6 laptop and work station, however I no longer have access to that. I guess there have been some "improvements" with the advent of gnome3 that now prevent this from working, however my knowledge of how this rdesktop interacts with the local display manager are sketchy at best. Any suggestions from those of you that understand this stuff way better than I do? TIA Rob

Hello everybody, I just wanted to upgrade my system and stepped over the following error: --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: pdns-3.4.7-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel) Requires: libmbedtls.so.9()(64bit) Removing: mbedtls-1.3.14-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel) libmbedtls.so.9()(64bit) Updated By: mbedtls-2.2.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) ~libmbedtls.so.10()(64bit) Error: Package: pdns-tools-3.4.7-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel) Requires: libmbedtls.so.9()(64bit) Removing: mbedtls-1.3.14-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel) libmbedtls.so.9()(64bit) Updated By: mbedtls-2.2.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) ~libmbedtls.so.10()(64bit) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Am I the only one with this problem? Any suggestions before I try the proposed solutions?

man and man-db inconsitency
by david 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Folks I use "yum list installed" to determine if a package has been installed. In particular, I was interested in the "man" program, installed with the command "yum install man". In Centos6, if I look at the results, I see that "man" was installed. This is good. In Centos7, if I look at the results, I see that "man-db" was installed. This is inconsistent. The result is that the generic algorithm: if I want package X , check the "yum list installed" output. If X is not listed, install it, otherwise assume it's already installed. Is there a reason for this inconsistency? The above algorithm works with most other packages. David

Where did network setup goes under setup utility in CentOS 7?
by reynierpm＠gmail.com 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

In CentOS 6.7 I ran setup command and I could configure network settings from that "gui" utility at command line. In CentOS 7 I don't know where this goes or how to enabled. I have installed a few packages: yum install setuptool -y \ && yum install system-config-network-tui -y \ && yum install system-config-firewall* -y \ && yum install system-config-securitylevel-tui -y \ && yum install system-config-keyboard -y \ && yum install ntsysv -y But I can't see the network settings, see this pic: http://content.screencast.com/users/ReynierPM/folders/Snagit/media/39e744c6… Should I install any other package?

Apache doesn't display "It works page" under CentOS 7

I have Apache/2.4.6 installed in a minimal CentOS 7 VM. I am trying to access the default page when Apache is installed by accessing the CentOS IP as http://192.168.3.130 (is a host only interface) but I got "This webpage is not available: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" and I can't find why.

SOT: Best strategy for automatize a flow that need user interaction
by reynierpm＠gmail.com 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

I am working in a Dockerfile but there is a "secure" MariaDB server script I need to run which is interactive and I don't know how to deal with this. Basically this is the flow I have follow on the script at test environment and is the same I want to achieve in the Dockerfile without user interaction by just answering as you seen on the flow below: # /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation Enter current password for root (enter for none): [ENTER] // because there is no password OK, successfully used password, moving on... Set root password? [Y/n] n ... skipping. Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y ... Success! Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n ... skipping. Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y - Dropping test database... ... Success! - Removing privileges on test database... ... Success! Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far will take effect immediately. Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y ... Success! Cleaning up... So I need to write a bash script or something else that could handle this automatically but has not idea, how would you take care of this?

CentOS 7, 327 kernel still crashing
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

I've just added the following to the CentOS bugtracker for CentOS-7 0009860. I admit to not being sure if it's the same issue, or a separate one, but this and other Dell servers - I *think* they're all R420's, but I could be wrong, just all do the same thing on boot. ***************** I've just updated a CentOS 7 server to the latest kernel, vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.4.5.el7.x86_64, and the server fails to boot. It has failed on every 327 kernel. Server: Dell R420, 2 Xeons, 124G RAM. >From the rdsosreport.txt, the relevant portion is: [ 3.317974] <servername> systemd[1]: Starting File System Check on /dev/disk// by-label/\x2f...

Alternative HTML Editor

I've been using the SeaMonkey built-in HTML editor from the epel repo for CentOS 6.7: $ repoquery -i seamonkey Name : seamonkey Version : 2.39 Release : 1.el6 Architecture: x86_64 Size : 127340745 Packager : Fedora Project Group : Applications/Internet URL : http://www.seamonkey-project.org Repository : epel Summary : Web browser, e-mail, news, IRC client, HTML editor Source : seamonkey-2.39-1.el6.src.rpm This is now dumping core. The latest release, directly from Mozilla (2.9b4), fails with: /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Recommendations for alternative HTML editors for this system?

Write content to file from Dockerfile and/or any other method
by reynierpm＠gmail.com 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

I am building a Dockerfile and I am setting up MariaDB repos as follow: # Setup MariaDB repos RUN touch /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo I should write this inside the MariaDB.repo file: [mariadb] name = MariaDB baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5/centos6-amd64 gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB gpgcheck=1 What's the right way to do this? The one below? echo "[mariadb]" >> "/etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo" echo "name = MariaDB" >> "/etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo" echo "baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5/centos6-amd64" >> "/etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo" echo "gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB" >> "/etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo" echo "gpgcheck=1" >> "/etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo"
