Automated XFCE install from kickstart and epel-release issue
by freebsd＠tango.lu 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Hello, I am working on a kickstart automated Centos 7 GUI vm deployment. Defining gnome desktop in kickstart works. @gnome-desktop - A GNOME desktop However Centos and anything from the epel-release such as xrdp does not work. I have tried it on different ways. repo --name=epel-release %packages #epel-release # DOES NOT WORK @ Core #@core @ Base #@base @ X Window System #@x11 #@ XFCE # DOES NOT WORK @xfce-desktop # DOES NOT WORK #@Server with GUI # DOES NOT WORK #Xfce # DOES NOT WORK #xrdp # DOES NOT WORK I have followed the recommendations in this discussion: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/81354/import-epel-gpg-key-in-kicks… None of them worked. In the %post% section yum -y commands seems to be ignored. I would also like to do a full system upgrade automatically. Any ideas? Thanks

somewhat OT -- are .appimage files safe?
by Kay Schenk 04 Mar '19

Hello all. I'm in the midst of trying to transfer a G+ community to something else. I came across this site-- https://blog.friendsplus.me/export-google-plus-feeds-45926c925891 that actually has an advanced "exporter" app but it is an ".appimage" app. I am not familiar with this at all and was wondering if someone on this list is. Thanks for any help. -- "Less is more." ---------------- MzK

Hello All, I need to set up a new mail server to replace an aging CentOS 6.3 mail server. I was wondering what were some of the best guides on the web for Postfix (Maildir), Spamassassin, ClamAV, Dovecot? Regards, Ben Archuleta

perl-Net-SCP on Centos 7
by Gary Stainburn 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hi All, My new server is now built and I'm rebuilding the various services. Falling at the first hurdle, my xinetd.conf service requrires perl-Net-SCP which doesn't appear to be available on C7. I could install CPAN and install it that way, but obviously I'd rather try to keep to RPM's if I can. I've tried Google, but not really come up with a solution I'm happy with. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've found a Fedora 29 RPM on RPMfind. Would that be close enough?

What files to edit when changing the sdX of hard drives?
by Jobst Schmalenbach 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hi I have read instructions for udev, I also found many example on how to do this. I want to lock in the SDA/SDB/SDC for my drives and I came up with a rule like this KERNEL=="sd?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="ST500DM002-1BC142_W2A56H8A", NAME="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger ID_SERIAL=$ENV{ID_SERIAL} set to /dev/sda ", GOTO="END_PERSISTENT_DISK" However, it is not clear to me is in what files I need to add my rules. Do I add a random file "99-my-rules.rules" in "/etc/udev/rules.d/"? Do I copy a file from "/usr/lib/udev" to "/etc/udev/rules.d/" and add my rules? Do I need to be careful with the NUMBER, e.g. "60-my-rule.rules"?

Many people use amavis, but my experience is not very favoufable with this script. I personally prefer MailScaaner, have a look at: www.mailscanner.info for further details. I use, and have used, this set in many circomstances even in large commercial envrionments, and I'm very pleased with it, functinally and in terms of stability.

Scanner problems HP4620 Jon LaBadie.
by Ger van Dijck 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

Hi Jon , I agree it is a little bit confusing : On USB all runs fine . So Hplip , cups , etc. is installed and functionates . On WLAN , believe it or not printing and faxing runs fine ; So the Wifi communication is present and functionating , but the scanner function is not ! When running hp-check under USB (Discouvered Devices) the laptopcamera and the scanner is present and all goes fine . Under WLAN (hp-check) the laptopcamera is present , but the scanner not . Clear is the scanner function cannot functionate , Uncear is why can I print to the HP4620 , fax with the HP4620 and NOT scan to the HP4620 while there must excists a wireless communication ? This is an enigma . I am curieus , Ger van Dijck. -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
