RHEL/CentOS 8.x, KDE & EPEL
by Nicolas Kovacs 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hi, A question to those familiar with third party repository policy. You think there's a real chance KDE's Plasma 5 desktop will be made available by EPEL or some other third party repository for CentOS 8.x? I'm asking because up until recently one of my desktop configurations was based on CentOS 7 and KDE 4. My users really like the KDE desktop (like myself). I rebased most of my desktop configurations on OpenSUSE Leap when Red Hat announced it would drop KDE, but it would be nice to have something that's a bit less of a moving target.

boot issue with latest kernel
by Keith Keller 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hi all, Has anyone seen this issue before? This afternoon, I tried updating a bare metal CentOS 6 box, and got some odd error messages on the console during booting kernel 2.6.32-754.11.1. (These aren't exact, I forgot to try to get a photo of the console.) sd 0:0:4:0 timed out resetting card 3w-sas timed out resetting card Then the boot would simply hang, with no obvious disk activity on the drives and no other messages on the console. Reverting back to an earlier kernel (2.6.32-431.17.1) was perfectly fine. (Obviously this is quite old hardware, but until today had never had problems.) I noticed in the CentOS 6.10 changelog that 3w-sas has been deprecated, but that it should still be supported. And even if 3w-sas had been removed, I don't think that wouldn't explain timeouts on sd. I have done a bunch of searches on the CentOS forums and on the web, but didn't find anything specific to this issue with various combinations of the error message keywords. If you have any pointers for me I would greatly appreciate it! --keith -- kkeller(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

How to disable wifi access to CentOS 7
by Kay Schenk 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hello all -- I run a hard wired network connection from my box and I don't want/need any wifi connections trying to get to/from it. I came across this article from the RedHat Bugzilla site -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1530391 I would love to just uninstall NetworkManager-wifi as suggested in the last comment on this issue. The problem is when I try to do that, there's about 25 dependencies on this package! Any thoughts on how to get around this? Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Less is MORE."

Gnome-tweak-tool-3.28.1 Update Results in Black Screen
by Brian Bernard 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hello all, The most recent update of Gnome-tweak-tool-3.28.1-2el7.2.noarch.rpm is causing a black screen at startup. After clicking on the menu in Grub I get a black screen. I've tried setting the "systemctl set-default multi-user.target" in the kernel parameters but still a black screen. I then tried the Rescue boot in Grub but again a black screen. This issue started after Gnome-tweak-tool was updated an hour ago. I had CentOS 7.6 running fine earlier this morning but after updating Gnome-tweak-tool just a black screen. Has anyone else come across this issue recently, and if so how did you fix it? I don't want to have to re-install CentOS 7.6. Thank you, Brian Bernard

Gantt chart software for CentOS 7 ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hi, I'm looking for a Gantt chart software that I can install easily on CentOS 7. I prefer EPEL - or some other third party repo - packages than some obscure installation script for home directories. Any suggestions ?

Testing software on CentOS 7
by H 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

I need to test a new version of Geany but already have the repo version installed on all my systems. In order not to foul up my current installation, what is the suggested procedure for installing and testing this new version? I tried installing in a docker container which of course went fine but could not run it from there. Suggestions appreciated, thank you.

konqueror vs. centos and mathematics
by Michael Hennebry 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

I'm running centos 7. Firefox spends so much time in th D state that I am trying konqueror. Displaying mathematics on wikipedia, e.g. Remez algorithm seems to be a no go. Wikipedia seems to use tex, so I installed texlive and texlive-* . Firefox hadn't needed it and it did not seem to help konqueror. My guess is that there is a bit somewhere that I need to flip, but I have no idea where it is. Suggestions? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards
