spec file frustration (rant)
by Alice Wonder 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

I'm getting spec files from centos git which is really convenient when the related source is easy to find. But some things - e.g. from a spec file # How to create the source tarball: # # git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/python-rhsm.git/ # cd client/python-rhsm # tito build --tag python-rhsm-$VERSION-$RELEASE --tgz Never used tito before, so I install it and try, and rather than giving me the source package I need - it gives me a python traceback complaining that I haven't configured some things properly. Seems a lot of the software distribution world is getting overly complex with an expectation that the end user who needs to exercise his FLOSS rights has to use git or nodejs or for php composer or whatever just to get what use to be available with no more complexity than choosing tar.gz or tar.bz2 or .zip if the dev was Windows. Whatever happened to KISS and why can't source tarballs be distributed as source tarballs? Back when I was a Fedora packager - the packaging guidelines would reject a package of the Source tarball wasn't a URL and if the timestamp on the tarball in the src.rpm didn't match upstream even if the checksum was identical. Guess those days are gone. /rant

virt-manager problem
by Alessandro Baggi 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Hi list, this morning I've update my centos to 1611. Running virt-manager, and trying to open virt-viewer by clicking on "Open", I get this error: Errore nell'avvio dell'installazione: 'nome-mv' This bug is reported on rh bugzilla (for Fedora 24) and closed 2016-07-02 11:24:51 EDT This problem is locale related. To solve this problem (for other user) I've removed this file: /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/virt-manager.mo. and restarting virt-manager all works fine. Hope that helps for other user with same problem. Best regards. Alessandro.

A *very* strange C 7 question
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Ok, I've got a user, I just built him a C 7 machine. The new one has an ATI card; the old had an NVidia card. I got it to use the radeon driver, so it looks ok (he has a very wide screen). However... he has a program that renders a molecule (which you see as many connected lines, in various colors). However... it used to display it against a black background, and suddenly, it's a transparent background, showing what's under that window. Anyone got any ideas about that? mark

Bottom panel on new C7.3
by Jerry Geis 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Hi All, I run these commands for previous 7.2 to hide the bottom panel. gconftool-2 -t int --list-type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide_size 0 gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide true It does not seem to be working any more... I am seeing the panel. Thoughts? Jerry

libreoffice 5 slow after 7.3 update
by Alexandru Chiscan 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Hello all, After the update to 7.3 libreoffice (5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64) became unusable slow. For an excel file with 250 rows even a simple scroll takes a few seconds, during that time the Xorg server is 100% working and the GPU utilization is at about 77% (from NVIDIA server settings). I have tried disabling the hardware acceleration (options->view) and OpenCL (options) but the problem and the high usage for Xorg and GPU persisted. I have seen the the same bug (probably) was present in Fedora 23 (libreoffice version 5.0.5.2-1.fc23.x86_64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1308700) Does anyone had the same problem and if yes what was the fix? Does RedHat 7.3 has the same problem? I have searched the bugzilla database and found only the Fedora bug. System info: Intel I3-6098P, 8GB ram, NVIDIA GT 240 with all the packages updated. libreoffice-ure-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts-5.0.6.2-3.el7.noarch libreoffice-core-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-pyuno-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-calc-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-writer-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-emailmerge-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-base-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-math-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-impress-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-graphicfilter-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-pdfimport-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-draw-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-ro-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-en-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-32bit-340.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.98 server glx version string: 1.4 Best regards, Alexandru Chiscan

Problem with attachments in thunderbird-45.5.1
by Toralf Lund 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Hi, Has anyone else had problems opening attachments in Mozilla Thunderbird under CentOS 6 lately? I find that when I open the application and select a message with attachments and double-click on one of them, everything works as expected. But, if I try to open another (and another etc.), the helper application isn't started. In other words, I can only view one attachment per session - if I want more, I have to restart Thunderbird. This probably started happening after upgrading to a new version that was released a few days ago. - Toralf

Panic on boot with 7.3 kernels when decrypting hard drive
by Christopher St. Louis 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

I was excited to update my system to CentOS 7.3/1611 yesterday when the release announcement came through, but since then I've been running into some serious kernel issues. I've been successfully running 7.2 on a Thinkpad X301 for about 6 months now, with an encrypted disk that unlocks with a password at boot time. I think that's LUKS on LVM? I didn't tinker with the default encryption options so it's nothing too exotic: unencrypted /boot on sda1, encrypted system/home on sda2. I've used both the standard 3.10 kernels and 4.4 kernels from the kernel-lt package from ELrepo with no problems so far. When performing the update to 7.3 yesterday, the packages kernel-lt-4.4.38-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 and kernel-3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 were installed. With both of those, my system comes to a complete, frozen halt on boot, after I've entered my disk decryption key and before I see a login screen. The little progress spinner freezes, and the caps lock light on my keyboard starts blinking, which I've been told indicates a kernel panic. Any manner of key combinations, even the "magic SysRq" combinations do nothing to recover the system--the only way out is to cut the power. I was able to fall back to the still-installed 4.4.36-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 kernel with no problems. On a whim, I tried installing the latest mainline kernel from ELrepo as well (kernel-ml-4.9.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64) and encountered a similar hard lock, minus the blinkenlight in the caps lock key. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Is there anything in what I've described that sounds obvious to what the solution is? It really just seems like the problems are with kernels that have come through following the 7.3 release. I'm still somewhat new at getting into the inner workings of Linux, but is there a log that might shed some light on what went wrong? Thanks in advance, --C

Disable gnome-initial-setup
by Gordon Messmer 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Prior to 7.3, I could disable the post-first-boot GNOME initial setup window by turning off the "initial-setup-graphical" systemd service. That service no longer exists, so I no longer know how to disable the setup window. I know that I can remove the "gnome-initial-setup" package, but I expect that at some point, it'll be brought in by dependencies or group membership, so I'd like to find a way to turn it off regardless of that package's presence. Does anyone know how, in the new version?
