C8 and bacula messages
by Alessandro Baggi 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Hi list, I'm updating my backup server using C8 and bacula 9.0.6. I have problem when I run a full backup with a pool that has Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 as in the configuration used on C7. The problem is that I get this message: JobId 11: Max Volume jobs=1 exceeded. Marking Volume "Full-0009" as Used. multiple time inside bacula messages when backup is performing? Is this a bug or is a misconfiguration? Thanks in advance.

wifi settings
by GP 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Hi there. I'm trying to make a backup with deja dup. The problem is that i connect to internet through my mobile. (I have an unlimited plan) When i set automatic backup it says that backup is delayed because of a metered connection. The problem is solved if i set with nmcli the GENERAL.METERED to no. So the ideal solution would be. How I change the setting so that each time i connect to my mobile wifi network the setting GENERAL.METERED is set to no. A not so ideal solution would be each time i connect to an wifi network the command "nmcli dev modify wlo1 connection.METERED no" is automatically executed.

Installing a single rpm package from desktop/browser on CentOS 7
by Toralf Lund 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI way" on a CentOS 7 system, what am I supposed to do? If I open the file in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think) opens, but it just displays the message Sorry, something went wrong I mean, really? Isn't this something that should just work? It certainly did in past releases... If I quite simply remove gnome-software, which I don't much like anyway, it looks like the handling reverts to the archive extract tool (whatever it's called these days), which is actually an improvement, but still not very helpful. So, what's everyone else doing in these situations? Is there a "standard" alternative application? I know this was handle by gnome-packagekit for a while, but its component for installation from file seems to be gone. And, yeah, I know about rpm command line and yum and all, but shouldn't there be a "more user-friendly" way? Thanks. - Toralf

Hi all, borgbackup is a very interesting backup tool with a lot of features. It is ready for "production" or I should expect some bad surprise? Anyone use it for work purpose? Thanks in advance. Alessandro.

Gnome kind of freezes when I drag windows between workspaces
by GP 02 Mar '20

Hi there. Just wanted to ask if anyone faces a similar problem with me. When i drag windows between workspaces sometimes my desktop kind of freezes. I can move the cursor and if i play any video it keeps playing but my desktop doesnt respond. Anyone has similar problem? ps.Im asking in the list instead of filing a bug report because since this is happening on a basic package of Centos i suspect other people must have faced the same problem with me.

Encrypted container on CentOS VPS
by H 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

I wonder if it is possible to set up an encrypted "file container" on a CentOS VPS? I am the root user of the VPS but the hosting company also has access to the VPS and thus all files. Is it possible to create a LUKS-container on the VPS and those files only be accessible by me? IOW, most of the file system on the VPS would be regular file system but the container could be used by me as needed. This would allow the VPS to reboot normally, I could ssh in normally etc etc. I would rsync files as needed to this LUKS-container though.

Script to monitor websites and generate RSS feed when they change
by H 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Looking for the above. I have found sites where you can register the sites you are interested in - as well as yourself - but I would rather run something myself on my server to monitor websites etc which do not have RSS-feeds. Does anyone use something like this?

CentOS 7 : SELinux trouble with Fail2ban
by Nicolas Kovacs 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi, Some time ago I had SELinux problems with Fail2ban. One of the users on this list suggested that it might be due to the fact that I'm using a bone-headed iptables script instead of FirewallD. I've spent the past few weeks getting up to date with doing things in a more orthodox manner. So currently my internet-facing CentOS server has a nicely configured NetworkManager, and FirewallD has replaced the iptables script. Unfortunately when I install FirewallD from EPEL, I still get the same error. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from read access on the file disable. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ***** If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed read access on the disable file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'f2b/server' --raw | audit2allow -M my-f2bserver # semodule -i my-f2bserver.pp Weirdly enough, when I follow this suggestion and then empty audit.log and restart my server, I still get the exact same error again. Which makes Fail2ban unusable with SELinux in enforcing mode in the current state. Any suggestions ?

vmware tools do not start on EL6 / upstart init
by Leon Fauster 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi all, I got two CentOS6 guest vms handed over that run under VMware ESX. After installing the missing last updates and reboots I noticed that the vmware-tools got not started while booting (/etc/init/vmware-tools.conf), while manually starting works (/etc/vmware-tools/services.sh start). Does someone has the same behaviour. Any ideas about the cause? Thanks, Leon
