Jitsi Meet on CentOS 7 ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 13 May '20

13 May '20

Hi, Anyone here managed to run Jitsi Meet on a CentOS 7 server ? As far as I can tell, it's one of the nicer open source videoconferencing solutions out there. I gave it a spin on https://suricate.tv and now I'd like to install it on one of my servers. Unfortunately the Jitsi developers only provide documentation for Debian/Ubuntu. Well, there is some sort of guide for CentOS around. As far as I can tell, the purpose of this guide is to encourage CentOS users to switch to Debian/Ubuntu. :o) Anyway, if you have a pointer to some comprehensible docs, I'd be grateful.

Monitoring network traffic to a host
by Ian Pilcher 13 May '20

13 May '20

Background - I am having an issue with occassional pauses when streaming high-bitrate media across my home network to my smart TV. I *suspect* that the root cause is the (incredibly lame) 100 Mbps Ethernet interface in the TV. In order to confirm that the peak bitrate really does max out the 100 Mbps connection, I'd like to monitor the communication between my NAS and the TV. The two devices are on separate VLANs, with routing performed by a CentOS 7 system, so it should theoretically be relatively simple to use an appropriate utility on the "router" to monitor and, if possible, graph the network traffic going to the TV. Ideally, I could run said utility for the entire time that the media file is playing and then look at its pretty graph to check if/when the bitrate hit 100 Mbps. Being able to watch the pretty graph in real time through a web interface would be nice as well, but is not required. Is any such program included in CentOS 7 or EPEL 7? The closest thing that I've found thus far is iftop (despite its lack of pretty). Unfortunately, it won't allow me to see the peak bitrate over the whole period in which the media is playing. Thanks for any suggestions! -- ======================================================================== In Soviet Russia, Google searches you! ========================================================================

xvidtune powertools CentOS 8
by Jerry Geis 13 May '20

Hi All - I was looking all over for xvidtune on Centos 8. could not find it. tried yum provides "*/xvidtune" tried yum search xvidtune Google pointed me to: https://centos.pkgs.org/8/centos-powertools-x86_64/xorg-x11-apps-7.7-21.el8… So I installed the apps and of course xvidtune is part of that. However just curious why the provides or search did not point me there ? Should it have? Thanks, Jerry

no images from www.imdb.com
by Michael Hennebry 12 May '20

12 May '20

For some reason, I no longer seem to get images from www.imdb.com , i.e. Internet Movie DataBase. The effect is really weird. I get from Firefox, Konqueror and Chromium. I'm running Centos 7. It's been happening for a few months now, so I really cannot tell what changed that mioght have caused it. How do I debug and fix this? Chromium still asks me for passwords a lot. I expect that is a separate issue. -- 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

Hello, My server is running kernel 3.10.0-1062.12.1 in a CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908. Since some weeks ago, server is restarting after XFS errors.

CentOS 8 installer bug
by isdtor 11 May '20

11 May '20

CentOS 8.1.1911 has a bug in the installer. It is not possible to use more than one NFS repo via kickstart repo directive as the installer tries to mount all of them on /run/install/.nfs. You get this DBG payload: /run/install/.nfs already has something mounted on it message for all but the first one. The problem was reported for Fedora 29/30. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1669711 Do we know if this is fixed in RHEL 8.2?

DND Issues in Gnome (GTK3 regression)
by Leon Fauster 11 May '20

11 May '20

Does someone uses EL8 as a workstation (GUI) here? This bug is super annoying https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1808900 and it seems not to get addressed in the current branch. How could a developer work with a forced delay in the UI (since a year now). Solution maybe in 8.3 ETA end of the year? Seems that all RH employees uses OSX as workstation (my impression of the summit) :-) This bug is located in gtk3 and should also hit non-GNOME users. Am I the only one here? Is CentOS Stream the workplace to address this bug? -- Leon
