Re: [CentOS] Firefox 60.0.1.0 ESR Progress?
by Sean 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Thanks for the idea, I'm not in a hurry and don't have a desire to hand-jam upstream versions of firefox onto desktops. I just need to track progress on the patch release and report an ETA to our cyber security team. I just figured CentOS had a fancy devops CI/CD system somewhere that I could keep tabs on to watch what's going on as patches get built, tested and published. Seems like all the cool kids are doing that kind of stuff these days. > From: Alice Wonder <alice(a)domblogger.net> > To: centos(a)centos.org > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 07:31:20 -0700 > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Firefox 60.0.1.0 ESR Progress? > On 07/02/2018 06:57 AM, Sean wrote: > > Is there a way to track CentOS's progress on RHSA-2018-2113? > > > > https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:2113 > > > > Thanks! > > _______________________________________________ > > CentOS mailing list > > CentOS(a)centos.org > > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > > This is what I do and it works well, script run as root after > downloading compiled tarball from upstream. > > ------ > #!/bin/bash > > TMP=`mktemp -d /tmp/ff.XXXXXXXX` > mv $1 ${TMP}/ > > pushd ${TMP} > > FFOX=`echo $1 |sed -e s?"\.tar\.bz2"?""?` > > tar -jxf ${1} > > chown -R root:root firefox > > mv firefox /usr/local/${FFOX} > > popd > > pushd /usr/local > > rm -f firefox && ln -s ${FFOX} firefox > > popd > > rm -rf ${TMP} > --------- > > $1 is the FireFox downloaded from upstream (compiled) > > Installing it as root means I am safe from malware over-writing bits of > it, but I do have to manually download. > > /usr/local/firefox/firefox then starts it - and old versions are > preserved in case something breaks (I just change which one the > /usr/local/firefox link points to - though I almost never have to revert) > > It's not RPM but there are too many advantages to newer FireFox for me > to wait. >

Semi-OT: LSI raid card sorta....
by mark 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

I've got a box running C7, just updated (yesterday). It had an onboard RAID controller, and an HBA. I just installed a new, additional RAID card, all LSI. MegaCli64 only sees one controller. I can't seem to find the magic to see the others. I *know* the new card is a MegaRAID - the box it came in says so. The system sees it 1:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1078 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 04) 42:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 [Invader] (rev 02) 43:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 02) I've connected a RAID box that we had to it. I'm trying to import the foreign configuration and bring it online. I really can't reboot the system for (literally) another month (the maintenance window); I saw the firmware interface, but for Reasons, couldn't do it then, and figured I'd be able to to it with MegaCli64, but so far, nope. -AdpAllinfo gets only one. Clues? mark

FYI: Useful to know on pdf printing
by mark 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

This is just an FYI, folks. We've got this large poster printer. We had some, er, environmental issues, let us say, and first I had to recreate the .ppd (HP "doesn't support printing from Linux, and the one a former coworker extracted from the Mac package... was for a 23", not this 44"). Then... I was trying to print from a 6.9 box. I hadn't rebuilt the box as C 7, because until the Incident, I'd been using acroread, so I was looking to see if something else would print correctly. Using evince in 6.9, 100% of the time, the printer's web page would tell me it was receiving, then the job would vanish, and the logs on the Linux side would tell me broken pipe. I did, however, print a test page from cups with no problem. So, yesterday, I updated to6.10, and then installed okular... and it printed perfectly, with no issues. Apparently, evince has some issue, either printing a .pdf, or there's something in my hacked .ppd that makes it gag, but okular is happy with. Just thought I'd let y'all know, so you could push it onto the stack, available if you run into this issue. mark

Solarflare SFC9000 direct connection
by lejeczek 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

hi guys I wonder if any of you might be using SFN6122F-R7 SFP+ (SFC9000, same firmware everywhere, Centos 7.5 too. I'm trying poor man's setup to get the servers onto 10GbE network. Setup is such that three Dell R815 are connected to each other, each has one Solarflare(SFP ports) and each Solarflare is set as net-team(both ports on a card are net-team device) with runner in broadcast mode. And it all seems to work, they ping each other, iperf okey. The problem, big problem is that when traffic start to flow between all three servers simultaneously, with rsync for example, then!! one box gets shoot in the head, hard reset, gone. Every time same one box. Sure there are some bits that run on that one box that are not on the other two. Now, I know you would normally put it via a switch, but like I said: poor man's config, but you would not expect system to die like this neither, right? many thanks, L.

shellinabox
by lejeczek 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

hi guys, shellinabox, do you use it? I in pretty vanilla setup get selinux denials and cannot login. Selinux says: #============= unconfined_service_t ============== #!!!! The file '/usr/bin/bash' is mislabeled on your system. #!!!! Fix with $ restorecon -R -v /usr/bin/bash allow unconfined_service_t unconfined_t:process transition; but that does not seem right to me, to allow such a transition, right? many thanks, L.

CentOS 7 + MATE : no sound in Firefox
by Nicolas Kovacs 08 Jul '18

08 Jul '18

Hi, I recently switched my main workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE. Migration went well, but now I have a couple issues. First things first. I have no sound in the Firefox browser. Applications like Audacious, VLC or MPlayer have sound, but Firefox is mute. Any idea how I can fix that?

two 2-node clusters or one 4-node cluster?
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

Hello, I'm planning migration of current two clusters based on CentOS 6.x with Cman/Rgmanager going to CentOS 7.x and Corosync/Pacemaker. As the clusters and their services are on the same subnet, and there no particular security concerns differentiating them, I'm also evaluating the option to transform the two clusters into a unique 4-node one during the upgrade. Currently I'm testing a virtual 4-node CentOS 7.4 cluster inside oVirt 4.2 and things seem to behave well. Before going further in deep with tests and so on, I'd like to check with the community about how many CentOS 7.x clusters composed by more than two nodes are in place and what are the feedbacks on them in terms of incremented latency/communication, ecc scaling out. Also general feedback related to CentOS 6 and scalability of cluster nodes number is welcome. Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Hi all, I need to redirect an output from python script that runs as a systemd service. I have tried to redirect its output in Exec statement without luck. I have tried to use StandardOutput and StandardError options also, but outpu log goes to /var/log/messages. Any tip? Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L. Martinez
