Bug in libreoffice or cups?
by mark 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

C7 My manager's manager sent out a ppt. Nothing fancy, no animation. 1. Page down doesn't get me to the next page. 2. Slide show decides that on my left monitor, it should fill the entire monitor- no options, with the slide, and the next slide, and that my right-hand monitor shuold be *COMPLETELY* filled with the slide. 3. Hitting <esc> gets rid of the one on the right... and anything then crashes all instances of libreoffice. 4. I just tried to print it out... and suddenly, printer options, or the print box itself, no longer offers me the option to fit to paper, so landscape, and it goes off the page. Esp. that last one - bug or "feature"? mark

Anyone ever look into what would be required to support 16 bit PCMCIA cards on 7? There are still 64 bit computers out there with at least 1 PCMCIA slot. Thanks, Kevin

OVAL content
by Gaurav Kumar 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Hi all, Much like Ubuntu and Debian teams have OVAL content published for detecting vulnerabilities, are there plans of publishing such content? e.g. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/oval/ On a related note, has anybody looked into using RHEL oval content on CentOS?

C7, firewalld and rich rules
by mark 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Hi, again, folks, I'm trying to convert a number of iptables rules to firewalld rich rules. I need to do this, because this is, in fact, a firewall, to protect access to servers with sensitive data. It will limit access to the servers behind it to a specific network, and nobody else, and allow only certain services through. What I've been trying to find is a script/program that converts the output of iptables-save to something I can feed to firewall-cmd. Anyone have a link to such? I admit this is annoying. Why is it, when some New Kewl thing is introduced, it *always* expects you to start anew, rather than giving you a tool to convert what you had. I ran into this 15 years ago, trying to put an existing website into bricolage (early CMS), and here I am, trying to do this. Anyway, any links would be appreciated. mark

Hallo, I try to configure my dhcp-client to send the hostname to a microsoft dns/dhcp server. It doesn t work. Nothing happens. A debian system works fine so it seems that the microsoft-side isn t the problem this time. I found some hints but nothing works. Thansk for hints. Ralf

Applying changes to route-eth0
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

I have a series of static routes in route-eth0 Recently I had to made changes and could not find an effective way to get the old routes out and the new routes in. ifdown-route seems to apply the content of route-eth0 to take down the routes listed and ifup-route brings up routes based on route- So what ends up is that the old routes never go away, just new routes added. ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 works, but is a bit heavy-handed for only changing routes. So how do I clear out the routing table and have it rebuilt based on ifcfg-eth0 and route-eth0 without bouncing the interface completely?

Bacula 9.4.1 Dbdriver issue
by Alessandro Baggi 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi list, I created my rpm for Bacula 9.4.1 reading centos srpm spec files. I made a single package and not split in several packages because this is my first rpm so I created my spec file taking a cue from bacula-5.3 spec file. All works as intended, an rpm was created and installed without any not fixable issue. After installing my bacula rpm I run a test to see if all works as expected. After bacula-dir and bacula-sd configuration I run bacula-dir -t to check error in config file and get this message: bacula-dir: dird.c:1206-0 Dbdriver field within director config file "dbi:PostgreSQL" mismatched with the Database argument "PostgreSQL" passed during Bacula compilation. I don't know what it is referring because I don't pass any argument like "PostgreSQL" during configure. The only option about postgresql is --with-postgresql. This is caused by this line in catalog statement: dbdriver = "dbi:postgresql"; I tried also using "dbi:PostgreSQL" but I got the same issue. I searched online but found only one fedora bugreport with the same problem related to fedora29 but for a different bacula version. Over this I tried to run bacula and all works like expected. How I can fix this warning? Hope in help. Thanks in advance. Alessandro.

C7, mdadm issues
by mark 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

I've no idea what happened, but the box I was working on last week has a *second* bad drive. Actually, I'm starting to wonder about that particulare hot-swap bay. Anyway, mdadm --detail shows /dev/sdb1 remove. I've added /dev/sdi1... but see both /dev/sdh1 and /dev/sdi1 as spare, and have yet to find a reliable way to make either one active. Actually, I would have expected the linux RAID to replace a failed one with a spare.... Clues for the poor? I *really* don't want to freak out the user by taking it down, and building yet another array. mark
