rpmbuild errors
by Alessandro Baggi 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hi list, I need a more updated version of bacula because I need to backup a debian workstation. So I decided to build my own bacula package base on bacula 9.2.0. I'm new to rpmbuild and I created my bacula.spec file but when running rpmbuild -ba bacula.spec I got error about check-rpaths like: ERROR 0001: file '/usr/sbin/bregex' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib64' in [/usr/lib64] Running rpmbuild as suggested, adding QA_RPATHS=$[ 0x0001|0x0010 ] works without problem but I don't understand what is wrong with my spec files. Another issue that I found is when installing this rpm. It reports that my bacula package requires libbaccats-9.2.0.so()(64bit) but this file is inside rpm so to solve this I must add to my spec file: Provides: libbaccats-9.2.0.so()(64bit) That permit to install my new rpm. How I can solve this 2 issues? Thanks in advance.

NBDE, clevis and tang for non-root disk
by Radu Radutiu 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hi, Has anybody managed to get network disk bound disk encryption to work with a non-root disk? It works fine for the root device, but the moment I add another volume to /etc/crypttab the system will no longer boot automatically. A tcpdump on the tang server shows no traffic while the system is stuck at the LUKS password prompt. The second encrypted volume is set up in the same way as the root device and I can unlock the volume using clevis-luks-unlock -d /dev/vda3. I've seen in https://rhelblog.redhat.com/2018/04/13/an-easier-way-to-manage-disk-decrypt… that clevis-luks-askpass.path needs to be enabled but it doesn't make a difference. Any ideas on what 's wrong or how to debug this? Best regards, Radu

digital signature equipment
by Gregory P. Ennis 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Everyone, I apologize if this is off topic for this list!!!!! I have an application that I need to acquire, store and merge to a pdf file a digital signature from a client. What favorite equipment do some of you use to do this. I contacted the topaz systems support team, and they advised me their equipment produced a proprietary file type, and required me to sign a non-disclosure agreement to do what I was asking to do. I indicated I was willing to proceed, but I have not been able to get them to communicate in follow up. .... probably related to the holidays. I will be using Centos 7.5 Desktop units to acquire the images and send the images to a Centos 7.5 server that will do the storage, and merging work. I have been able to use pdftk to merge previously obtained signatures, but I have not been able to find a piece of equipment that I can use to acquire signatures on the fly and merge them easily to a pdf form file. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!! Greg Ennis

Panic / EL6 / KVM / kernel-2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64
by Leon Fauster 23 Nov '18

Since the update from kernel-2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64 to kernel-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64 I can not boot my KVM guests anymore!? The workstation panics immediately! I would not have expected this behavior now (last phase of OS). It was very robust until now (Optiplex Workstation). I see some KVM related lines in the changelog.diff. Before swimming upstream: Does some one have problems related to KVM with kernel-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64 ?? -- LF

Video from the CentOS Dojo at CERN now available
by Rich Bowen 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

The videos from the recent #CentOSDojo at #CERN are now available on the CentOS YouTube channel. If you have time for only one, be sure to watch the first video, which talks about the challenges that CERN has with the enormous amount of data they produce every day in the LHC. Also recommended, Fabian's discussion of the coming (and already in place!) changes to the CentOS Git infrastructure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs8knVCqEj4&list=PLuRtbOXpVDjBVqThWSByt… -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 + GNOME : all icon themes broken after update from CR
by Lamar Owen 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

I did the update from CR, and have some pretty serious issues. Until I blew away (by mv to a different name) the .local and .config directory trees, I couldn't log in to GNOME at all. After doing that, I can log in, but if I do any actual work, GNOME crashes, and abrt-cli from root in vc 2 tells me that gnome-shell got a SIGSEGV. I figure all of the updates aren't in CR yet, so I'm going to pull out my backup machine and work with it until I see if CR gets more updates. Good thing I've got vacation scheduled for next week!I did quite a few other things in trying to troubleshoot, including attempting a yum distro-sync without CR enabled, which had helped me rollback once before, but not this time. Once I get my backup machine set up I can post better details.

by Nicolas Kovacs 22 Nov '18

Hi, I just upgraded one of my CentOS 7 + GNOME desktops from the CR repo. After the upgrade, it seems like all of the icon themes are broken. Missing icons everywhere. Any idea what's going on here ?

The one HTML editor I ever tried, Quanta, had the lovely habit of, once you hit ?display", when you went back to editing, it has left justified *every* *line*. I hate to suggest it, but something like WordPress might be what you want, if that's not overkill. mark "my web pages proudly built in vi"

Upping my game on web work
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Until now, I have been satisfied with hand coding my html for simple, but effective web pages (see http://www.htt-consult.com/) But I want to offer one of our small synagogues some web pages and need a few tools for them to use to compose their pages and upload content. What 'simple' web support tools do we have here? Of course I will be doing this on armhfp,,,
