GUI black screen on login, startx works???
by Dave Burns 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hello, I'm using a recent install of centos 7, no GUI customizations that I recall. When I log in using the GUI it accepts my password and the mouse appears on a black screen, like it is preparing the desktop, but the desktop never appears. If I hit control-alt-f4 and log in using the command line, and then execute startx, Everything seems to work perfectly. What sort of troubleshooting should I do to figure out what is stalling? I'm not at all familiar with this aspect of things. thanks, Dave

by lejeczek 27 Dec '16

hi everyone just a quickie to devel maybe. I'm looking at some bits: devtoolset-4-elfutils-libelf-0.163-2.el7.x86_64 VS elfutils-0.166-2.el7.x86_64 isn't devtool ageing? Could this be the case with more packages? regards, L.

by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hi, folks, I know there was some talk on the list about this, but a) I'm at work, and that thread is pop-3 on my system at home, and b) what attention I paid didn't suggest *this*: Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 3 Packages (+10 Dependent packages) Upgrade 537 Packages Skipped (dependency problems) 278 Packages Total download size: 700 M Is this ok [y/d/N]: n One-third of the entire upgrade failed for dependencies or conflicts? I've just checked, and CR is not enabled, either. Was there a resolution for this? mark

Also, many free software developers are actually paid for their software development work. Maybe not as much as one might be paid for commercial software.

apcupsd-3.14.14
by TE Dukes 25 Dec '16

25 Dec '16

Hello, Looking for a apcupsd 3.14.14 rpm. Been getting communication lost errors. I read there was a problem with the 3.14.12 version regarding a usb connection which I'm using, but has been corrected in 3.14.14. I found a Fedora 25 Rawhide src version, but the link must be bad. Was hoping I could rebuild it for Cento 6. Looks like apcupsd no longer producing the rpms. I could build one from the source but would prefer to use an rpm. TIA

New laptop recomendation
by Tony Molloy 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi, I'm recently retired from my university job. I am looking for a laptop to run CentOS 6/7. My university was a traditional Dell site so I've used Latitude laptops for years, currently E6500/E6510. Anybody got any experience of running CentOS on the newer Dell Latitudes E5000 or E7000. These are not certified according to Redhats' Hardware Guide. Alternatively Precision Workstations would do. These can be supplied with Ubuntu installed so they run Linux. Thanks, Tony -- Linux nogs.tonyshome.ie 2.6.32-642.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 18 19:25:05 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Alternative to cPanel
by FrancisM 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Dear All, Im looking for alternative for cPanel and somehow I read that the 'cwp control web panel' (http://centos-webpanel.com) and Sentora ( http://www.sentora.ga) is the good alternative for cPanel. Is there someone using this application and what can you tell about or recommend. Thank you all.
