Software gone AWOL...
by Robert Heller 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

I am moving from a CentOS 6 VM to a CentOS 7 VM and two pieces of software I use seem to be missing: RT (from Best Practical Solutions) -- an RPM for rt 3.1.13 was in EPel 6 and until recently, was also in EPel 7. It is not there now. Since it is just Perl code, I wonder if I can just install the el6 rpm on a CentOS 7 system. Bugzilla -- I installed this from an RPM on my CentOS 6 server (bugzilla-3.4.14-2.el6.noarch). It is not in the EPel 7. It too is noarch (also Perl code) and wonder if I can just install the el6 rpm (if I can find it somewhere -- a yum search bugzill finds it, but it is not actually there in the repo. Are there other solutions? (Installing RT "from source" is something of a bear, since there are lots of Perl module dependencies, that I would rather yum deal with if possible.) -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller(a)deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services

Hi list, I have installed plasma5 on my c8 workstation but I'm getting (random) error for kdeinit5 and cannot see any information about the segmentation fault because there are not available information. Anyone that use Plasma5 from EPEL get this error? How I can communicate the bug with the maintainer? Thanks in advance.

Problem setting keyboard shortcuts for more than 4 workspaces.
by me＠tdiehl.org 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

Hi, Does anyone know how to set keyboard shortcuts for more than 4 workspaces? If I goto settings -> devices -> keyboard I see "Switch to workspace {1-4}" I have virtual workspaces configured for 12. I would like to set keyboard shortcuts for all 12 workspaces. Google shows numerous solutions for ubuntu but I cannot get any of them to work on Centos 7 with gnome 3. Regards, -- Tom me(a)tdiehl.org

System Time
by Chris Olson 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

A few years ago, one of our interns was curious about system time keeping features in computer systems. This intern was also the proud owner of an inexpensive Radio-Controlled Clock. The intern wondered why computer motherboards were not just equipped with a chip like the ones in the RCC so that their system time would always be correct. I posted a question about this on the CentOS email list and received more responses than those postings about problems with the new Firefox release. I must have really struck a very sensitive system time nerve. This large response was a bit of a surprise and included a bunch of time related horror stories. It became clear why using an RCC chip on motherboards would NOT be a good idea. GPS network time servers seemed to be a preferred choice. All of our bedrooms have Radio-Controlled Clocks. At 5:30 this morning, half of the clocks displayed the correct time. The other half of the clocks were incorrectly showing a time one hour ahead. Maybe this is one more piece of evidence to reject using an RCC time base for computers, at lease in thestate of Arizona.

Weird error when installing BIND on CentOS 7

Running CentOS 6 in a Docker container on a non-CentOS host
by Alfred von Campe 10 Mar '20

10 Mar '20

I have to support a legacy build that runs on CentOS 6. I’m new to Docker and would like to use the official CentOS 6.10 image (https://github.com/CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-images/blob/da050e2fc6c28d8d72… <https://github.com/CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-images/blob/da050e2fc6c28d8d72…>) as a Docker container on another host (probably some flavor of Ubuntu), but can’t figure out how to tell Docker to find that image. I also need to make some specific customizations that I would like to distribute locally but not share with upstream. Can somebody point me to some HOWTOs or tutorials? Most Google searches return how to run Docker on CentOS, which is not what I’m after. Thanks, Alfred

QEMU virt-manager video device
by Jerry Geis 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

I am trying to use the Video Virtio device and set it to Virtio (to get resolutions higher that 800x600). My host is CentOS 7 and my guest is CentOS 8. When I set the virtio for video - I get an add about QEMU does not support 'virtio' video device. Do I not have something loaded ? Real question is how to get video higher than 800x600. I tried every selection there Cirrus , QXL, VGA, VMVGA and virtio. Thanks, Jerry

Support for Intel Graphics 605 UHD
by Jerry Geis 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

I found this site https://www.linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:8086-3185-8086-2212 Says the Intel UHD 605 graphics chip is supported in kernel > 4.11 centos 8 comes with 4.18 but I am not getting X on CentOS 8 with this chip. When I put this: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" EndSection in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d it does not boot into X, when I remove it - it boots into X with generic driver - not the Intel driver. Thoughts ? Jerry
