About the flash-plugin
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Y'all may remember I posted here weeks ago, that flash-plugin was crashing. There was an update this morning, which I did on my workstation... and it hasn't crashed all day on either of the two radio stations who I listen to via streaming media. mark

USB 2.0 device on a USB 3.0 plug
by Jerry Geis 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

When I plug in my device which is USB 2.0 into a 3.0 slot (cause that is all I have) [495042.943074] usb 5-2: new low-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd [495043.100076] usb 5-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 I receive the above error. Is there a flag or setting that tells the USB to in a 2.0 mode ? Thanks, Jerry

IPv6 broken on Linode
by Alice Wonder 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

https://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=14570&p=72785 I can not figure out what I need to do. Apparently according to linode support, the VM is trying to grab an IPv6 address with some privacy stuff enabled by default causing it to not grab the IPv6 address that is assigned to me. Nothing I have tried seems to work, and it seems that Linode support are far more familiar with Ubuntu than CentOS. I know CentOS follows Red Hat so I'm not suggesting this is CentOS's fault, but stuff like this really is why I am a much bigger fan of KISS with simple key=value configuration files that don't seem to exist anymore with Linux networking in the Red Hat world. Making things more complex to benefit "Cloud" servers it the worst thing Red Hat ever did. Sorry for the tone, I'm quite frustrated and as an epileptic who doesn't drive, driving down to the SF Bay Area for RHCE classes that won't even be applicable in a few years when they change stuff again isn't really an option. Been using Red Hat since MKLinux DR3 (based on Red Hat 5.1) and been through the training courses before and everything changes. Anyone know what might be going on? And how to get dhclient to grab the "right" IPv6 address, the same one this VM grabbed no problem for well over a year?

Centos7 GeoIP support with BIND
by Robert Moskowitz 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

In my new Centos7 BIND DNS server, I am seeing messages in logwatch about GeoIP. Something new for me to learn about, and it seems, configure. Checking to see what packages are available I find: GeoIP.armv7hl 1.5.0-11.el7 @centos-base_rbf GeoIP-data.noarch 1.5.0-11.el7 base GeoIP-devel.armv7hl 1.5.0-11.el7 base GeoIP-update.noarch 1.5.0-11.el7 base and GeoIP.armv7hl is already installed in my image (even before I installed BIND, it seems to be part of a base server?). I am not finding any help for GeoIP on Centos, but for debian/ubuntu they are saying to install geoip-database. Is GeoIP-data the same thing? What about GeoIP-update? Basically, I probably should get started on this, or disable it in my DNS server. Can someone point me to Centos specific help or help me out? thanks

Serious attack vector on pkcheck ignored by Red Hat
by Leonard den Ottolander 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Based on an article that was mentioned on this list https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.nl/2014/08/the-poisoned-nul-byte-2014-ed… I found two attacker controlled memory leaks in the option parsing of pkcheck.c. These memory leaks allow a local attacker the ability to "spray the heap", i.e. initialize large parts of the heap before launching his attack. The original attack uses a setuid binary, because the author "is giving himself a break". However, the fact that the binary in the example is setuid is orthogonal to the fact that heap spraying is a very serious attack vector. Bug reports are filed but closed WONTFIX. I think this is a mistake so I would hope people could weigh in on this. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99626 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1418278 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1418287 Thanks for your interest.

mach64 driver, latest update in CentOS 6.8, symbol lookup error
by Styma, Robert (Nokia - US) 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

I am loading a server from the CentOS 6.7 ISO and then upgrading. After loading at release 6.7, the machine behaves normally. After running yum update, the X server will not start. Attempts to start it manually result in one of the following messages depending upon which OS is loaded. I initially loaded it as 64 bit and when that did not work I tried the 32 bit version of the OS. The graphics card is part of the motherboard so swapping it out is not an option. This is a server and there is no AGP slot. X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/mach64_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86LinearVidMem X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mach64_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86LinearVidMem I yum grouperased the X Window System and Desktop and then groupinstalled it with no luck. I then changed my repos to point to the original ISO, but there were too many dependencies broken to get the system to groupinstall the X Window System and desktop. I tried forcing in just the driver, but it fails with a message about the driver being at a different release than the X server. I am planning to reload the OS and use the Yum Exclude to keep the Xorg pieces. Unfortunately, that will probably break a lot of dependencies. I downloaded the source for the driver from Xorg, but need to find a lot more stuff to get it to compile, and even then, it is likely not to work. Does anyone have any more things to try? Yes I know the mach64 is an old video card, but that is what is there. Since CentOS just follows the upstream source, I am not sure where to file a bug. Not that that is likely to help. I am batting 0 for 5 over the last decade and a half getting anything fixed. Bob Styma

Problems with latest Firefox update -- can't install new extensions
by Kay Schenk 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Since the latest Firefox update to 45.7.0 on my CentOS 6.8 system, I can no longer install add-ons/extensions. Things LOOK like they're working but the extensions don't get stored in my normal area and they don't appear in my Add-Ons menu. Is anyone else having this issue? It has been a while since I added any new extensions so I can't say WHEN exactly this problem happened but .... :( -- ------------------------------------------------ MzK "Trust, but verify." -- Ronald Reagan

CentOS 7, systemd, NetworkMangler, oh, my
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

My manager tells me a system in the datacenter is down. I go down there, and plug in a monitor-on-a-stick and keyboard. It's up, but no network. I try systemctl restart NetworkManager several times, and ip a shows *no* change. Finally, I do an ifdown, followed by an ifup, and everything's wonderful. My manager thinks that the NM daemon thinks everything's fine, and there've been no changes, so it does nothing. He suggests that it might have to be stopped, then started, rather than restarted. This is completely unacceptable behavior, since it leave the system with no network connection. Pre-systemd, as we all know, restart *RESTARTED* the damn thing. Is there some Magic (#insert "pixie-dust-sparkles") incantation, either restarting NetworkManager, or using nm-cli, to force it to perform the expected actions? Btw, if this is supposed to be part of the "hide stuff, desktop Linux users don't need to know this stuff", this is a *much* worse result. mark (and yes, my manager's truly aggravated about this, also)
