CentOS 7 and 4K display
by Jerry Geis 07 May '16

07 May '16

I installed C7 along with MATE desktop... My monitor is a 4K unit but when I goto the System -> preferences -> hardware -> Displays there is selection for the 4K display. It stops at 1920x1080. The var log x file shows the 4K resolutions in the file so that is good. How do I get the selections for 4K to show up? Thanks, Jerry

I found this: # lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myvg/testlv doing a search. What's the difference between 100%VG and 100%FREE? Thanks, -wes

ImageMagick security alert
by Alice Wonder 07 May '16

07 May '16

https://imagetragick.com/ As CentOS is often used for web servers, I thought this should be posted here. Bug in ImageMagick allows remote exploit. AFAIK no patch exists yet but defense against the exploit is detailed at the link. CVE-2016–3714

I looked at man xfs_growfs and found -d option and so I used this and it worked: sudo xfs_growfs / -d -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Thanks! -wes

resize lvm
by Wes James 06 May '16

06 May '16

I have a laptop that I put centos 7 on and I started out with a 30gig partition. I resized the other part of the disk to allow more space for centos. I then created an unformated partition in the available space, ran pvcreate /dev/sda4 vgextend lvname /dev/sda4 lvextend -L 184.46G /dev/lvname/root but when I run: sudo resize2fs /dev/lvname/root I get: resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/lvname/root Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. How do I resize the volume? Thanks, -wes

[off-topic] Validating e-mail address with php
by Alice Wonder 06 May '16

06 May '16

After running into several web application that rejected any e-mail address on the new gTLDs because the apps were badly written to validate with a hard-coded list of valid TLDs, I wrote a e-mail validation function that I *think* does things properly. Free for anyone to use who wants to. https://deviant.email/emailaddytest.phps What it really does is use the PHP built-in filter_var but it compensates for known bugs in the filter_var e-mail address validation. It return boolean. I *think* it will properly validate any legal routable address and reject any that are not. But bugs may exist. By default when the host part of user@host is a domain name, it does a DNS query to validate the host resolves. That adds a little latency but I think is worth it. My own implementation will probably cache a positive result for up to 24 hours with APCu but that's not in the function linked. The dns lookup can be disabled. By default it will reject IP address as the host part, but that can be enabled. When enabled, it will reject private and reserved range. Well, reject what is hard-coded into PHP filter_var - I haven't tested that. International domain names will only validate if the php-intl functions are installed (to turn them into punycode) -=- For the username validation, that's where any bugs are most likely to exist. But I think I did it right. It's very unfortunate that the built-in php filter doesn't do it right. Anyway free for anyone, I'm tired of e-mail address filters that don't properly work with common user names on perfectly legal domains that just happen to be newly ICANN approved. You can see live testing by just removing the last s from the filename.

yum update (first in a long time) - /var/log/dovecot no longer used
by Gary Stainburn 06 May '16

06 May '16

Me again, Another change to my Centos 7.2 system since my 'yum update' yesterday is that /var/log/dovecot is no longer written to. If I do 'systemctl status dovecot' I can see log entries. How can I now do the equiv or 'tail -f <logfile>' Also, why has this changed, and where is it documented?
