IPv6 fixed address using ip token
by Kenneth Porter 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

I'm about to publish a fixed IPv6 address and I understand I can use the ip token command to lock the host part of the RA-assigned address to a fixed value. But I can't see an obvious place to configure this. The logical place would be in the ifcfg-<interface> file. Is there someplace else I should set this? NetworkManager? It looks like the new systemd-networkd has support for this but my interfaces seem to be configured from the old initscripts and the new systemd-networkd isn't installed. <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/ht…>

Simple bash question
by Jerry Geis 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

I am calling a bash script and passing in somestring that includes a "$" myscript "$plusmore" I want to assign in the myscript the $1 arg to something like MYTEXT="$1" when I do that I dont get what I'm expecting. if I do MYTEXT='$1' I still dont get what I'm expecting. On the first assignment of MYTEXT I do not want the "$" to be treated as a shell variable. I cannot find out how to do that. I do not have the option of escaping the call to myscipt "\$plusmore". I cannot do that. What am I missing. Jerry

NetworkManager and multiple dhcp router option
by Nux! 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Hello, Our DHCP server broadcasts a router option consisting of 2 IPs. Ideally they should both be set as default routes with different metrics, however this is not what is happening, only the first one gets used. Anyone has any tips how to convince NetworkManager to do this? Cheers -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

Installing Centos 7 on 4K laptop
by H 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

I have recently bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7570 laptop with a 4K display on which I want to install Centos 7. I had some problems with the first install and am therefore redoing the install. One problem is the minuscule font, both in the text window and in the graphic installer. It has been suggested that I should add nomodeset to the grub installer. There is an option to use TAB to complete option choices but nomodeset does not seem to be one of the available options. Am I missing something? If not nomodeset, is there another option I can use in grub to avoid the tiny, tiny text when installing? Also, the swap partition seems to default to 8 Gb rather than th 16 Gb required to hibernate the machine. Is this a bug in Centos 7 that it does not default to the memory size of the machine?

Failed to get to installer for CentOS 7 VM under CentOS 6...
by Robert Heller 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

I just tried to create a CentOS 7 VM on a CentOS 6 host, but it crashes to the dracut prompt. I am using the PXEBoot installer. I *think* it is unhappy with the (virtual) graphics controller, but I am not sure.

Seagate - experience/opinion on vendor?
by lejeczek 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

hi guys I have rather a large set of Seagate's SAS ST32000444SS, over a hundred - experience I'm having from those in conjunction with their tech support is abysmal. I'm trying to update firmware of these drives and nothing works, including tech support. ... and I cannot help but wonder - is just me who is so unlucky and getting very, very poor support(taking naturally only of Linux) or in fact Seagate are rubbish! Care to share your say? thanks, L.

Here's a question that I have3n't found the answer to yet: does anyone know the effect of enabling FIPS mode for apache? Will it break existing websites? Does code need changing? Configuration, other than enabling it? mark

CVE-2018-14634 and kernel-debuginfo ?
by Zube 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

The current mitigation for CVE-2018-14634 is a systemtap script mentioned here: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-14634 It also mentions that one can build a kernel module to distribute to other machines, but in any case one needs the corresponding debuginfo packages to do either. After enabling CentOS-Debug.repo, what I get is: kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 which doesn't match, since I'm not running the centos.plus kernel, so the systemtap script fails (tested only on CentOS 6 for the moment). Is there some way to get kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Zube

Good afternoon from Singapore, There are far too many choices when it comes to open source ecommerce solutions. Are there any credible rankings of open source ecommerce platforms? Which open source ecommerce solution do you think is the best and tell me why.
