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

Anki on CentOS 7
by H 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

I am trying to run Anki on one of my computers running the latest update of CentOS 7. However, starting it in a terminal window shows it fails with the following messages: libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri) libEGL warning: GLX: glXQueryVersion failed libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri) libEGL warning: GLX: glXQueryVersion failed qt: QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform OpenGL context, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled qt: QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform offscreen surface, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled qt: QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform OpenGL context, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled mpv not found, reverting to mplayer qt: WebEngineContext used before QtWebEngine::initialize() or OpenGL context creation failed. qt: QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform OpenGL context, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled Aborted (core dumped) Anki 2.1.15-alternate comes with the QtWebEngine and I have this app running on two other computers running CentOS 7. Thus, not a general problem but probably related either to the graphics driver on this system xorg-x11-drv-ati or some configuration mismatch. It was suggested on the Anki support forum I ask in the distribution forum since they had no explanation...
