read 'announce' of new release for firefox-45.5.0, then for firefox-45.5.0, decided, wrongly, to upgrade. my bad. nothing but problems. on opening what moz devs considered as 'latest and greatest', found that it was more crapola from moz devs. first run was to login with my isp, only to find page would not fully load and a message bar saying; Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading [Allow] clicking [Allow] button only cycled with same. 10 more clicks, decided that was enough. now, i would like to roll back to earlier 40.x, but no can do because of deleting 40.x to make room for new release. now have /var on it's own partition and have room for updating. 3 questions; 1- anyone else having problems with 45.5.1? 2- where might i find earlier releases of 40.x? 3- if i install 40.x in path /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/, will i be able to roll back. hoping for positive replies to #2 & 3#. replies/suggestions greatly appreciated. tia. -- The important thing is not to stop questioning. - Albert Einstein CentOS GNU/Linux 6.8 KDE 4.3.4 peace out. tc,hago. g . =+= Tired of having your microsoft os hacked?

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1611) on x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 17:42:53 +0000 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1611) on x86_64 Message-ID: <57a573d2-7a27-9472-79d9-1733117c8603(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1611) for 64 bit x86 compatible machines. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1611, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 As always, read through the Release Notes at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 - these notes contain important information about the release and details about some of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from the users. - ---------- Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos Updates released since we froze the iso and install media content are posted in the updates repo along with the release. This will include content from late November 2016 and December 2016, therefore anyone running a new install is highly encouraged to run a 'yum update' operation immediate on install completion. You can apply all updates, including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 7/x86_64 machine by just running 'yum update'. As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built from sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and buildsys process) are being published to match every binary RPM we release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install. This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS Linux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to handle stale content is included in the Release Notes. - ---------- Download In order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to get the mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend using torrents to get your initial installer images: Details on the images are available on the mirrors at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/0_README.txt - that file clearly highlights the difference in the images, and when one might be more suitable than the others.

Look for an announcement posted to the centos-announce list for more information on availability for these in the coming days. - ---------- Dojo We try and organise Dojos in various parts of the world as a one day event, to bring together people who use CentOS and others who are keen to learn about CentOS. The day's focus is on sharing technical knowledge and success stories. It's also a great place to meet and talk about upcoming technologies and learn how others are using them on CentOS Linux. Our next Dojo coming up is in Brussels, on the 3rd Feb 2017. Details are being posted at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2017 If you would like to help organise a Dojo in your area, do drop by the centos-promo list at http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-pro mo - ---------- Getting Help The CentOS ecosystem is sustained by community driven help and guidance. The best place to start for new users is at http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp - ---------- Contributors This release was made possible due to the hard work of many people, foremost on that list are the Red Hat Engineers for producing a great distribution and the CentOS QA team, without them CentOS Linux would look very different. We are also looking for people to get involved with the QA process in CentOS, if you would like to join this please introduce yourself on the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel ). - ---------- Thanks I would also like to thank our donors and sponsors for their continued support for the project. And to everyone who contributed with ideas, code, test feedback, and promoting CentOS Linux into the ecosystem.

Network Manager - force activation of multiple connections
by Gary Stainburn 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

For each of my sites I have set up a server to act as AirPrint server. This requires the LAN connection that the servers have always had, plus a WIFI connection to give it a presence on the WIFI (The WIFI and LAN are on separate VLANS) I have finally dragged myself into the 21st century and used NetworkManager for the connection, using nmtui to do the work. The problem I have is that on most of these servers, thw WIFI connection doesn't always activate on bootup and I have to go into nmtui -> activate -> WIFI etc. to get it working again. Is there a way to force NetworkManager to always activate all interfaces on bootup?

Hi all I downloaded the RPI3 image: CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1603-RaspberryPi3.img.xz how do I resize the root FS? My Sd card is 32G and I am only using 2G of that. also I thought the RPI3 as was 64 bit. When I downloaded the aarch64.img and tried that it did not boot. I thought the RPI3 supported this image. perhaps not. Thannks, Jerry

openldap: replica consumers and ppolicy overlay values
by John Jasen 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

I'm trying to setup OpenLDAP on CentOS7, in a provider/consumer relationship. In general, provider/consumer is working quite well, except when it comes to password policy. Specifically, I want PwdFailureTime to be written to the provider from one of the front end consumers when appropriate. I'm lead to believe this requires: a) ppolicy_foward_updates TRUE (done) b) an appropriate syncrepl configuration for the consumer (I believe done) c) updateref $LDAP-provider-URI (done) d) an appropriate chain overlay on the provider (I think done) e) appropriate ACLs on the provider to allow the consumer bind-user access to manage PwdFailureTime (I believe done) I've attempted all of the above, but the consumer (when run in debugging mode), does not seem to be trying any updates upon authentication failure. It gives no indication of modifying locally, or of trying to contact the provider at all over this. Any idea whats going wrong?

Updated to CentOS 7.3. Works well. Needed to restorecon on /home.
by Yan Li 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi, Sharing my experience upgrading my CentOS 7.2 to 7.3 this morning. I had to use kernel-ml 4.8 for its support of Skylake on my Dell Precision 7510 laptop. This morning 4.9 came out but I don't felt like trying it, because of the possibility of breaking my ZFS and nVIDIA stuff. So I decided to give the 7.3 in CR repo for a try. The upgrading was smooth. The only problem was that I had to reinstall nVIDIA proprietary drive because my nouveau blacklist was gone. I also had to run restorecon on /home because all labels were wrong. That broke Chrome and many other programs that need to access files in user home. I have no idea what's the cause yet. 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64's support for Skylake is great. I see no difference between it and the previous 4.8 kernel I used. Then I was surprised when another CentOS also got all the 7.3 packages. That's when I realized that 7.3 was officially released this morning! -- Yan Li
