CENTOS8: running wine 32 bits?
by Philippe Piot 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

All, I need to run some legacy Windows software (32 bits) under my Linux box. I have installed wine from the source the 64 bits works fine but not the 32 bits. The ./configure gives ... *checking whether gcc -m32 works... no* *configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.* and trying to install the require i686 packages results in a [ *piot@unknown50EB7156B508 wine-4.18]$ sudo dnf install glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 Last metadata expiration check: 0:09:26 ago on Sun 22 Dec 2019 07:04:41 AM CST.Package libgcc-8.2.1-3.5.el8.i686 is already installed.Error: Problem: package libxcrypt-devel-4.1.1-4.el8.i686 requires glibc-headers(x86-32) >= 2.26.9000-46, but none of the providers can be installed - package glibc-devel-2.28-42.el8.1.i686 requires libxcrypt-devel(x86-32) >= 4.0.0, but none of the providers can be installed - package glibc-headers-2.28-42.el8.1.i686 requires kernel-headers, but none of the providers can be installed - package glibc-headers-2.28-42.el8.1.i686 requires kernel-headers >= 2.2.1, but none of the providers can be installed - package glibc-headers-2.28-42.el8_0.1.i686 requires kernel-headers, but none of the providers can be installed - package glibc-headers-2.28-42.el8_0.1.i686 requires kernel-headers >= 2.2.1, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best candidate for the job(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)* Thank you for any suggestions. All the best, -- Philippe.

Using Pulse Audio--question
by Fred Smith 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

Hi all! This seems to me as if it should be a trivial thing to do, but so far I've wasted a lot of time on it and gotten nowhere: I want to feed audio from a source (ipod, other player) into the audio input on my C7 box via either the phone jack or an external USB sound "card" I have, then I want to play it via the speakers connected to the system. I can find no way to do it with pavucontrol, nor the default mate sound tool. Using pavucontrol and the external USB sound "card" (quote marks because it obviously isn't a "card") I can see the input coming in, but I can't figure any way to send it back out to any output device. I'm not wedded to using pulse for this, I'll use alsa or whatever else can be beaten into submission, I just can't understand why this isn't a normal usage, and why it wouldn't be easy to do. All (on topic) advice gladly received. Thanks in advance!

Hi Philippe, To get wine-32 to work on CentOS 7.6 I had to build and install wine 1.8.4 from a tarball. Follow the instructions at: https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine and build the 64-bit version first, then the 32-bit version. Before building either version I installed the following X11 devel pkgs from yum: libX11-devel.i686 libxcb-devel.i686 libXext-devel.i686 Depending on your setup on CentOS8 you may need additional X11 devel pkgs, or gecko or others. Good luck, --Ed

CentOS 8 and yum-plugin-priorities
by Nicolas Kovacs 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

Hi, I've been regularly using the Yum Priorities plugin for the last decade or so. Apparently it has been obsoleted with CentOS 8. I've googled around for replacements, and there is some conflicting or otherwise misleading information about it. I'm aware the late Yum developer Seth Vidal had a bad opinion of priorities. This being said, I like the idea of third party repositories not messing with the official stuff. Any suggestions ?

CentOS Net Install

Hey all, Is a Network Install ISO planed any time in the near future for CentOS 8? I don't see it in the mirrors, but that might be a function of my poor searching abilities. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

Yum on CentOS 8: Failed to set locale, defaulting to C
by Nicolas Kovacs 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with CentOS 8.0 on a sandbox server in order to get acquainted with its various quirks and idiosyncrasies. Here's the first curious detail I noticed. I used the CentOS installer in french (since I live in France), but I like my server systems to default to english. (If you've ever read one of these funny "frengrish" SELinux alerts, you'll understand why. Anyway.) After the installation, I ran this: # localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF8 So here's what I have actually on my minimal system: $ localectl System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF8 VC Keymap: ch-fr X11 Layout: ch X11 Variant: fr But my initial user still has system messages in french, so I added this to his ~/.bashrc: # LANG LANG=en_US.UTF8 export LANG I logged out and logged back in and tried the 'yum check-update' command, which normally doesn't require root privileges. And here's what I get: $ yum check-update Failed to set locale, defaulting to C Last metadata expiration check: 0:17:42 ago on Mon Dec 16 14:04:39 2019. Any idea on how to make Yum behave here?

pdftotext latest version for CentOS 7
by H 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

I have pdftotext 0.26.5, the current version for CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop as far as I can ascertain. The page https://www.xpdfreader.com/pdftotext-man.html seems to suggest that the latest version is 4.02 which seems a gigantic leap ahead. Since I have a Chinese text PDF which I am unable to extract any text from using pdftotext, instead I end up with a collection of garbage Latin characters, I am curious how to get a later version? Copying and pasting from Atril 1.16.1 (seems to be part of the Mate desktop I am running) also makes me end up with garbage... Not surprising since it also seems to use pdftotext 0.26.5... Any suggestions? Later version of pdftotext? If so, wherefrom? Another PDF-viewer?

log4j12 package in CentOS 8
by Richard G 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

According to the RHEL docs, package log4j was replaced with package log4j12 in RHEL 8.0. However, when I attempt to install the package in CentOS 8, dnf cannot find it. I have the Base, AppStream, Extras and PowerTools repos enabled. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
