logwatch customization question
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Logwatch is installed, and I am assuming by how empty /etc/logwatch is that it is running from defaults, which I find in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services I want to customize ONE service. dovecot. Do I copy /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/dovecot.conf to /etc/logwatch/conf/services and edit it there, or do I have to copy ALL default.conf/services/* there and modify /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf to look there? The README is rather not helpful on this. How do I modify ONE service (and not just make the changes in default.conf that I have seen in a couple howtos. thanks

Network configuration: desktop vs. laptop
by Nicolas Kovacs 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hi, I'm just migrating some stuff from Slackware Linux to CentOS, and I have a question about the orthodox way of configuring a network connection. On a desktop or workstation, I usually get rid of NetworkManager: # systemctl stop NetworkManager # yum remove NetworkManager Then I edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXXX file corresponding to my network interface. Here's a working example: # /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp2s0 DEVICE=enp2s0 TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp Now I wonder how I should configure things on a laptop, where I usually keep NetworkManager. On a Slackware system, it's usually just a matter of leaving a pristine /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file, and then activate /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager. Starting from there, when there's a wireless connection available, I can connect using the little NetworkManager applet on the desktop. And when I switch to cable, NetworkManager will prefer that connection automagically. On a default installation (I went for the KDE version), NetworkManager is active, so I'll keep that. 'ifconfig' shows me that the cabled connection is up and running via enp3s0 on the laptop. Wireless doesn't seem to work, but 'ifconfig -a' shows me a wlp2s0 interface, which means there's a chance it will work. First thing I did was edit ifcfg-enp3s0 like this: DEVICE="enp3s0" TYPE="Ethernet" NM_CONTROLLED="yes" Then I edited ifcfg-wlp2s0 from scratch, since there's nothing present: DEVICE="wlp2s0" TYPE="Wireless" NM_CONTROLLED="yes" I rebooted (just to be on the safe side), and I have a partial success. I can connect via KDE's NetworkManager applet. But when I plug in an Ethernet cable, the wireless connection stays up and is not replaced by the cabled connection. Any suggestions?

by Michael Hennebry 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

My HP USB C3180 All-in-one printer accepts jobs, but does not print. A job simply sits in the queue. I haven't used it on this computer for a while. It will print a test page when I connect it. The last line from hp-info -i is 04/07/17 13:26:21 5012 Device communication error hennebry 0 (I've removed some blanks.) Any ideas on how to diagnose this? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Lock Screen in Gnome and using keyboard
by Daniel Ruiz Molina 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hello, I need to reconfigure Gnome in CentOS for avoiding that a normal user could lock screen using task bar option and/or "Super L" key (Windows Key + L). How could I configure Gnome? I need to do that in several computers, so I can't do "login" in X environment of each computer, but I need to reconfigure executing from command line (multiple SSH connections). Thanks.
