cron.daily and others, not running
by wwp 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Hello there, I've just noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,...} are not launched for several weeks (I noticed a `locate` not finding a recently added binary). Exactly, it's since June 02, and `# service cron status` says: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status crond.service * crond.service - Command Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2018-06-02 19:22:57 CEST; 4 weeks 1 days ago Main PID: 1379 (crond) Tasks: 1 Memory: 5.8M CGroup: /system.slice/crond.service `-1379 /usr/sbin/crond -n Jun 02 19:22:57 ladybug systemd[1]: Started Command Scheduler. Jun 02 19:22:57 ladybug systemd[1]: Starting Command Scheduler... Jun 02 19:22:57 ladybug crond[1379]: (CRON) INFO (RANDOM_DELAY will be scaled with factor 73% if used.)

Stuff in /etc/crontab is running as expected, but it's maybe not related anyway. Regards, -- wwp

CentOS7/Mate Qt bugs/features?
by James Pearson 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

We have recently migrated from CentOS6/Gnome to CentOS7/Mate - and have noticed 'glitches' with some Qt applications that appears to be linked to the 'org.mate.Marco.general' 'compositing-manager' setting - and wondered how we 'fix' the issue ... Below is a PyQT4 python script that shows the issues: 1. With 'compositing-manager' set to 'true' (I believe the default setting): gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general compositing-manager true Running the script and the window background is transparent - which is fine However, if the pull down menu is selected and the 'Toggle' button pressed, the menu stays on the screen - and stays put even if the window is moved 2. With 'compositing-manager' set to 'false' : gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general compositing-manager false Running the script and the window background is no longer transparent - which is not good, but the pull down menu issue is fine ... We're using Nvidia cards with the Nvidia drivers - but I can also reproduce the issue on a Vmware player instance It would be good to know if anyone else can reproduce this with Mate ? Using CentOS7/Gnome3 works as expected (transparent background and pull down menu is fine) Anyone have any idea what the problem(s) might be and how to fix it/them ? Thanks James Pearson Python script: #!/usr/bin/python # # gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general compositing-manager true # # gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general compositing-manager false from PyQt4.QtGui import * from PyQt4 import QtCore import sys class MyWidget(QFrame): def __init__(self, parent=None): super(MyWidget, self).__init__(parent) self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground) self.state = 1 self.combo = QComboBox() for a in ['A','B','C']: self.combo.addItem(a) self.btn = QPushButton("Toggle") self.btnClose = QPushButton("Close") self.btnClose.clicked.connect(self.close) layout = QVBoxLayout() layout.addWidget(self.combo) layout.addWidget(self.btn) layout.addWidget(self.btnClose) layout.setContentsMargins(50,50,50,50) self.setLayout(layout) self.btn.clicked.connect(self.updateComboState) def updateComboState(self): self.state = (self.state%2)+1 self.combo.setProperty("state", self.state) self.combo.style().unpolish(self.combo) self.combo.style().polish(self.combo) self.update() ss = """ *[state="1"] { background: rgb(50,50,100); } *[state="2"] { background: rgb(50,100,50); } """ if __name__ == "__main__": qapp = QApplication(sys.argv) myApp = MyWidget() myApp.setStyleSheet(ss) myApp.show() sys.exit(qapp.exec_())

C++11 and GCC 5+
by Alice Wonder 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

This may be common knowledge to some, but it was new to me. Libraries that use C++11 and are compiled with GCC 4.8.x that CentOS 7.x has are NOT binary compatible with GCC 5.x or newer. It seems to only effect C++11. What you have to do - create /opt/gcc55 (or whatever) Rebuild any libraries that use C++11 that you need in something compiled with GCC 5+ and install them within that prefix. Then point to them in that prefix when building what you need to build. -=- The Linux runtime linker seems to get it right (as long as you have /opt/gcc55/lib64 in path) and not load wrong version of library, so you don't need to use rpath. But you do need to have a version of the dependency compiled with the GCC you want available at both compile time and runtime. -=- I ran across this issue when building Audacity 2.2.2 - which does not build with GCC 4.8.5. The problem libraries: * flac * vamp-sjdk-plugin * wxGTK3 All three of those use C++11 and therefore needed to be rebuilt with GCC 5.5.0 (what I used for building Audacity) Just thought I'd pass it along.

dhcpd.conf for balance-rr bonding
by Nurdiyana Ali 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Hi, I am trying to configure linux bonding using balance-rr configuration. I could not find a way to configure dhcpd.conf for this purpose and failed miserably when I tried the following (dhcpd just failed): host servername { hardware ethernet [mac address interface #1] ; hardware ethernet [mac address interface #2] ; fixed-address 10.0.10.6; } In my understanding balance-rr would be issued a single IP address but using 2 mac addresses in round-robin mechanism. If this is true, how do I configure DHCPD to issue single IP address to 2 different MAC? Sincerely, Nurdiyana Ali.

It's the end of the week, and maybe I'm being dense, but I still don't get it: how do I tell the BMC to use eth1? Do I give it eth1's MAC address as a gateway? mark

Replacement web server time - catalog CPAN and PEAR installs
by Gary Stainburn 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

I'm looking to replace an OLD Fedora web server with a Centos 7 one. I'm currentlly in the process of documenting what is on the server ready to install the new one. While most things have been done with RPMs, some installs have had to be done via CPAN for Perl and PEAR for PHP. Is there a way of getting a list of everything that has been installed using these tools?

VMWare Workstation 14 on CentOS7
by wwp 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

Hello there, I'm encountering blocking issues with VMWare Workstation v14/v12 on CentOS 7. The issue is that any Linux guestsystem will get network-disconnected after a short while. I tried w/ brand new guest installs, guests coming from a v12 WS. Tried different guest network settings, I always get disconnected. I found several cases like this on the Web, but couldn't see any working solution yet. My CentOS7 runs 4.9.75-204.el7.centos.x86_64 kernel. On my previous CentOS 6, still alive, v12 works like a charm. Does anyone have experience with this? Regards, -- wwp

multipath recipe for an enclosure ?
by lejeczek 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

hi guys, In hope that some experts roam around I post this one question - how do you multipath disks(all disks) that sit in one specific SAS enclosure? Blacklist everything else. And I'm hoping for something like "globing", so you do not want to go through it on by single disk/wwin basis. some experts?(or maybe even not, it could be that I do not get it) many thanks, L.

I do not want this ever asking for an IP. There's no management port, dunno why, but the only thing where it should be is a couple of pieces of thin, bent metal, and nothing, apparently, damaged. I do see one option of "defgw macaddr" - is that supposed to be a MAC external to the server, or can I use the MAC of eth1 (or whatever the stupid, unrememberable name is)? mark
