Inside your desktop manager open a terminal session and run 'firefox -P --no-remote' The no-remote option opens a new Firefox window and session whether or not you already have one running. Then press 'Create Profile', give it a name, and use that whenever you get into a Firefox / Extensions conflict on a particular web site. I have my Firefox panel launcher set up to use 'firefox -P --no-remote' always. Tthis allows me vastly more flexibility dealing with multiple websites at the price of a trivial delay during the browser start-up. This problem is the result of recent changes made to the extensions interface. I can hardly wait to see what is broken with v57. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

NoScript allow scripts globally reversible?
by Michael Hennebry 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

I'm running NoScript because otherwise Firefox freezes up a lot. Recently I've had difficulty accessing a site. I suspect the reason is that it uses redirection in a way that frustrates my efforts to give it permission. To test the notion, I'm considering temporarily allowing script globally. How hard is it to reverse? Will I need to redo previous permissions one at a time? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Problems with kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64
by Gregory P. Ennis 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Everyone, I have two desktop units with : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz that do not allow the login screen to appear after the update of : kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64 and kernel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64 Both of these units worked properly with kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7 I am not sufficiently familiar with grub to know if the problem is related to grub or related to the kernel. I have been able to boot the machines by the use of kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7. When using kernel-3.10.0-693 the login screen is blank and the login prompt is missing, however each machine is accessible via the terminal interface, or remotely with ssh. Does anyone have any ideas ? Greg

Maria 10 breaks unixodbc mysql connector
by John Harragin 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

I recently installed mariadb-server 10.1 by adding the following repository: baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/centos7-amd64 ...all was well until we had a power failure and upon rebooting unixodbc was segfaulting. Once I did a yum undo, the mysql odbc driver was functional. I traced it to the following: [root@ec-ast yum.repos.d]# ldd /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5w.so | grep -iE "my|maria" libmysqlclient.so.18 => /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 (0x00007f3dfb34c000) You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root [root@ec-ast yum.repos.d]# repoquery -l MariaDB-server MariaDB-client MariaDB-commo MariaDB-shared galera boost-program-options jemalloc rsync lsof | grep lib64 | grep libmysqlclient /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so.18 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so.18.0.0 ...notice the change in the path (/usr/lib64/mysql/). I could reinstall mariadb-server, add a symlink and it would probably work, but I thought it would be better to post and hopefully the maintainer of whichever package (unixodbc, maria, mysql-connector...) should be addressed, could be alerted to this issue in the event that it could (or should) be fixed on a package level.

Gulliver
by Chris Olson 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

We have been fortunate to hang onto one of our summer interns for part time work on weekends during the current school year. One of the intern's jobs is to load documents and data which are then processed. The documents are .txt, .docx, and .pdf files. The data files are raw sensor outputs usually captured using ADCs mostly with eight bit precision. All files are loaded or moved from one machine to another with sftp. The intern noticed right a way that the documents will transfer perfectly from our PPC and SPARC machines to our Intel/CentOS platforms. The raw data files, not so much. There is always an Endian (Thanks Gulliver) issue, which we assume is due to the bytes of data being formatted into 32 bit words somewhere in the Big Endian systems. It is not totally clear why the document files do not have this issue. If there is a known principle behind these observations, we would appreciate very much any information that can shared.

RH software collections
by Fred Smith 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Off topic, since it is a RH question, but I'm hoping someone here can point me to the right place to pursue this: We need an official RH build of nginx that contains the lua module(s), but the nginx builds in the rh scl repository do not. So, I'm looking for how to make an appropriate contact to inquire if RH could add lua to their current nginx build for the software collections I haven't a clue how to approach this, so any guidance would be great! thanks in advance! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) -----------------------------

Question about a bug in bugzilla
by Rainer Duffner 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Hi, I have a CentOS 7 server which shows bug 1487266 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1487266 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1487266> It says, it’s fixed in java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.151-3.b12.el7 I updated this package, and now it shows as java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.151-1.b12.el7_4.x86_64 So, is there another update coming or are these the same packages? Because the „-1“-version didn’t fix the problem. Best Regards Rainer

Problem with graphics on latest CentOS 6
by Alfred von Campe 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

The thread "Problems with kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64” reminded me that I have a similar problem but on the latest CentOS 6 kernel I’ve been meaning to report. Here is the relevant system information: Linux ssg003.bose.com 2.6.32-696.13.2.el6.i686 #1 SMP Thu Oct 5 20:42:25 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5912 (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device 07a2 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at f6000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at f000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [40] Vendor Specific Information: Len=0c <?> Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [ac] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [100] #1b Capabilities: [200] Address Translation Service (ATS) Capabilities: [300] #13 I have about 100 Dell desktops deployed with CentOS 6 all using the built-in motherboard graphics. But on a Dell Optiplex 5050 with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz CPU and the above graphics card, the X11 login screen is all distorted and unusable. There is a simple solution: if I remove the "vga=0x31b” parameter from the kernel boot command it works just fine. However, I would prefer to have a usable alternate console on our 1900x1200 monitors, but any value I tried for the vga parameter results in a distorted login screen. Any ideas what may be causing this? This is only an issue on the very latest chipset. On the next most recent Dell desktops we have (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz) I do not have this issue. Here is the VGA controller info: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device 05a4 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 28 Memory at f7800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at f000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 Does anyone else have a similar issue and found a better solution?
