X11 issue on CentOS 8
by Jerry Geis 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

I have files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d rw-r--r--. 1 silentm silentm 311 Jul 9 13:25 00-keyboard.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 silentm silentm 328 Jul 9 14:28 01-display.conf This is my 01-display.conf # This file goes into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "3840x2160" "1920x1080" "1600x1200" "1440x900" "1368x768" "1360x768" "1366x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection That looks fine. But the X log file shows its NOT being used. Why ? 9.987] (==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" [ 9.987] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" [ 9.988] (==) No Layout section.

Using a default monitor configuration. Why is my xorg.conf.d files not being used ? Jerry

Many motherboards still have an actual serial port that doesn't show up on the edge as a 9-pin, but on the board as a 10-pin header. You can get the header adapter for a few dollars (or maybe in your junk drawer). https://www.google.com/search?q=serial+header+adapter Also, I just plugged in a PL2303 based adapter to a CentOS 8 machine yesterday to connect to a Cisco serial console and it just worked. --Rich -- Rich Greenwood Network Engineer Shasta County Office of Education 530-225-0161

I realize this shouldn't happen, the file is a tgz and isn't being modified while being transmitted.

CentOS 8 and webrtc plugin
by Jerry Geis 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

I am trying to play with webrtc and gstreamer. libnice - nicesrc/nicesink elements (this is the only build-time dependency) - openssl - dtlsdec/dtlsenc elements - libsrtp2 - srtpdec/srtpenc elements - usrsctp - sctpdec/sctpenc elements (only required if you use data channels). These are dependencies (apparently). The first two I have. How do I get the last two or anyone got webrtc working with CentOS 8 ? Thanks all. Jerry

Generating X configuration files
by Michael Hennebry 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

I'm trying to make my computer work with a Fedora 32 live DVD. Video issues make it either crap out or only give me 640x480. Grrrr. Centos 7 is running just fine. I think I could make it go by booting to runlevel 3 and running startx manually. For that to work, I think I need to pass startx the right configuration file. To me, 'tain't obvious what to put in that file. Is there a way to get Centos 7 to generate a configuaration file for me? -- 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

systemd environment var composed of vars
by Leon Fauster 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Is it somehow possible to use composed ENV vars in a systemd unit file? Simple example, env file has ADDRESS=foo PORT=bar LISTEN=${ADDRESS}:${PORT} putting ${ADDRESS}:${PORT} directly in the unit file works, $LISTEN not. Does systemd supports such var substitution? -- Leon
