Glances for CentOS 8?
by Wynona Stacy Lockwood 09 Oct '19

It seems that glances is not in EPEL for CentOS 8. Is that coming at some point, or has it been deprecated in favor of some other tool?

CentOS for musicians?
by wwp 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Hello, still searching but didn't find very precise answers yet, is there a computer-aided musical creation -oriented flavor of CentOS (like the Ubuntu Studio)? Or would it be about gathering stuff from different repos and setting up everything by hand? A repository that would provide low-latency kernel (realtime one?): I've found the CentOS-RT from the CERN + (1)). Specific tools (from Jack/qjackctl, carla, audacity .. to the DAW), I've found stuff on different repositories. On a CentOS7 box I could setup jackd, audacity/lmms (from the sources) and reaper (ardour from nux depo is way to old), I know what to use at end-user software but would like to find a CentOS variant/repo where software is recent (sometimes critical for audio devices). Any advice? (1) https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux_for_… Regards, -- wwp https://useplaintext.email/

Mix/match C8 crypto policies
by Paul Heinlein 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Is it possible to mix and match crypto policies using approved tools in CentOS 8? Our environment requires a LEGACY setting for OpenSSL so we can maintain connections with our LDAP servers (which we cannot update at this time), but I'd like especially the OpenSSH settings to use the DEFAULT policy (and maybe even FUTURE on a test host or two). I think it's possible to manually repoint the symbolic links in /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends to achieve that result, and I'll set up puppet rules if that's the only way to do so, but I'd prefer to use a more canonical approach if one exists. -- Paul Heinlein heinlein(a)madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W

samba with gluster almost non-usable
by lejeczek 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

hi guys, anybody runs samba-4.9.1-6.el7.x86_64 with glusterfs-6.5-1.el7.x86_64 shares? Operations the Windows clients perform are incredibly slow. To create a new file(via right-click in Windows) take more then dozen of seconds, sometimes fails, the same with renaming files, deleting, etc. L.
