Seagate - experience/opinion on vendor?
by lejeczek 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

hi guys I have rather a large set of Seagate's SAS ST32000444SS, over a hundred - experience I'm having from those in conjunction with their tech support is abysmal. I'm trying to update firmware of these drives and nothing works, including tech support. ... and I cannot help but wonder - is just me who is so unlucky and getting very, very poor support(taking naturally only of Linux) or in fact Seagate are rubbish! Care to share your say? thanks, L.

Here's a question that I have3n't found the answer to yet: does anyone know the effect of enabling FIPS mode for apache? Will it break existing websites? Does code need changing? Configuration, other than enabling it? mark

CVE-2018-14634 and kernel-debuginfo ?
by Zube 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

The current mitigation for CVE-2018-14634 is a systemtap script mentioned here: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-14634 It also mentions that one can build a kernel module to distribute to other machines, but in any case one needs the corresponding debuginfo packages to do either. After enabling CentOS-Debug.repo, what I get is: kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 which doesn't match, since I'm not running the centos.plus kernel, so the systemtap script fails (tested only on CentOS 6 for the moment). Is there some way to get kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Zube

Which is the best open source ecommerce platform?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

Good afternoon from Singapore, There are far too many choices when it comes to open source ecommerce solutions. Are there any credible rankings of open source ecommerce platforms? Which open source ecommerce solution do you think is the best and tell me why. Thank you. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ <https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/>[2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ <http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/>[3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming <https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming>===END SIGNATURE===

Help with multi-monitor Xorg stuff
by Richard G 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

I have an unusual use case. I wonder if anyone can help. We use a PC with 8 HDMI outputs for powering a video wall in an operations centre. We use two Matrox video cards, each with 4 outputs. "lspci" reports these cards as" [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [FirePro W600]". On an older version of CentOS 7, I used the proprietary AMD/ATI driver. This had a utility (I roorget the name) that generated a working xorg.conf file. I could them throw up the "matchbox-window-manager" on each monitor in turn using "DISPLAY=:0.0", "DISPLAY=:0.1" etc and then throw up a full-screen chrome web browser in kiosk mode on each monitor after that. This all worked great. In a recent version of CentOS 7, this all broke. The proprietary driver no longer works. The good news is that the open source driver seems to work fine with multi-monitor in Gnome for example. My only issue is that I don't want to use Gnome across multiple monitors. I want to use matchbox-window-manager or similar, and specify individual X screen (":0.0", ":0.1" etc). How do I generate an xorg.conf file with the new open source drivers? Am I doing this all wrong? Thanks!

Re: [CentOS] Centos on Dell XPS15

Fedora 28 ran great and the 4K screen is beautiful but the laptop had some issues so I sent it back. Issues: - the CPU throttles when putting it under load. The "fix"was to undervolt the CPU, turn off Turbo speed in the BIOS and turn off HT in the BIOS. This issue seems similar to the thermal problem the latest MacBook Pro had. IIRC Apple fixed it in a BIOS update. I don't know if/when Dell will fix it (or if they even can fix it). - fingerprint reader does not work. With the latest XPS13 (9370) Developer Edition, Dell "fixed" it by removing the fingerprint reader. - no separate PageUp and PageDown keys. The latest XPS13 does have them but on the XPS15 there were 2 gaps in the keyboard where those keys should be but aren't. - it's not possible to open the screen 180 degrees - the webcam at the bottom of the screen (aka NoseCam) is really annoying As an alternative to the XPS15 there's the new Inspiron 15 7000 series and the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme (though I have no idea if either of them runs CentOS 7). HTH, Patrick

[CentOS7] Firewall trouble with Kickstart
by Patrick Begou 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

helow my goal is to install via kickstart a CentOS 7 NFS server but I fail to set the firewall rules at installation time. In my kickstart file I set: # Firewall configuration # ssh and NFS # Ports 111 and 875 are for rquotad firewall --enabled --ssh --service=nfs --port=111:tcp,111:upd,875:tcp,875:upd On the installed server, /root/anaconda-ks.cfg contains: # Firewall configuration firewall --enabled --port=111:tcp,111:upd,875:tcp,875:upd --service=ssh,nfs But after install "firewall-cmd --list-all" returns: public (active) target: default icmp-block-inversion: no interfaces: p4p1 sources: services: ssh dhcpv6-client ports: protocols: masquerade: no forward-ports: source-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules: An idea about my mistake ?

Has something replaced rhn-ssl-tool?
by Lachlan Musicman 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Using CentOS 7.5, I can't (and don't expect) to see rhn-ssl-tool. But I was expecting to find something similar. I can't see anything in the recent RH documentation about it - I presume it was remove/changed with the move from Spacewalk to Satellite - but I presume the functionality is still required? Has something replaced it?
