PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency.
by Michael Hennebry 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I'm running centos 6, just did a yum update, and still cannot get sound from vlc. The entire message (reformatted): Potential PulseAudio version problem: PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency. Sound may be lost or quality degraded. To address that issue, upgrade the PulseAudio daemon to version 3.0, or disable the alternate sampling rate in its configuration I can find /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and its man page , but cannot figure out what to do. pulseaudio.x86_64 0.9.21-24.el6 @base vlc.x86_64 2.0.10-1.el6 @rpmfusion-free-updates Any ideas? -- 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

SASL attacks and SPAM
by TE Dukes 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I wanted to pass this along. I'm sure it may be nothing new to most of you, but it has greatly reduced sasl attacks and spam. I found most of it here: https://scottlinux.com/2011/05/26/prevent-postfix-brute-force/ I added the fail2ban rule and modified my postfix main.cf as follows: smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 3 smtpd_delay_reject = yes smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname, permit smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, check_policy_service unix:postgrey/socket, permit smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 3 smtpd_client_message_rate_limit = 5 smtpd_client_recipient_rate_limit = 60 smtpd_client_event_limit_exceptions = $mynetworks smtpd_client_new_tls_session_rate_limit = 3 smtpd_error_sleep_time = 1s smtpd_soft_error_limit = 10 smtpd_hard_error_limit = 20 Has knocked down all the spam and about 99% of the sasl attacks. If anyone would like to add to this, please do so. TIA

Problem with Centos & Alsa on reboot
by Robert Jeffares 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I have a number of machines using Centos 6.8 They have M-Audio sound cards. When I set the output levels using alsamixer and save using 'alsactrl store' [creating a requested directory] the settings do not restore on reboot. I have no idea why they don't. running 'alsactrl restore' works so the settings are being saved. I think the on board card settings are loaded OK /var/lib/alsa/asound.state seems to have the right permissions, and I can find no errors in any logs. My fix is to run a script from /etc/rc.local which runs on restart and sends me an email --------------snip----------------- #! /bin/bash date > /home/rd/soundset.log alsactl restore cat /home/rd/soundset.log |mail -s 'sound set ' your(a)email.com exit 0 --------------snip----------------- It's either Centos or Alsa. Did not have this in earlier systems. regards Robert -- *Big Valley Radio* 64 Warner Park Avenue Laingholm Auckland 0604 09 8176358 0221693124 06 650 6087

Re: [CentOS] missing rh-git29-git package

Hi Centos Team, It seems this is partially resolved.

missing rh-git29-git package
by Juan Barayoga 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Hi. We wish to install rh-git29 from the Software Collections repo and it's failing because of a missing rh-git29-git package. It appears to be absent still on the latest Centos 7.3. distro. [root@localhost ~]# yum install rh-git29 Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, priorities 551 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package rh-git29.x86_64 0:2.3-4.el7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: rh-git29-runtime for package: rh-git29-2.3-4.el7.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: rh-git29-git for package: rh-git29-2.3-4.el7.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package rh-git29.x86_64 0:2.3-4.el7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: rh-git29-git for package: rh-git29-2.3-4.el7.x86_64 ---> Package rh-git29-runtime.x86_64 0:2.3-4.el7 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: rh-git29-2.3-4.el7.x86_64 (softwarecollections) Requires: rh-git29-git You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Please let us know if and when this package becomes available.

CentOS 7, ATI video, ex-X, still fighting
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Still trying to get it running. Updated CentOS 7, ATI video card, trying to use the radeon driver, and, using the previous kernel, X appears to come up, but gdm fails; with the 514 kernel, X fails to start. And here's a twist: I just rebooted, with radeon.modeset=1 on the kernel line... and for no reason I know of, I get *six* logs, Xorg.[0-5].log. Does this suggest anything to anyone? I can't imagine it's trying to start X six times.... mark

Semi-OT: thunderbird displaying inline
by mark 19 Dec '16

Hi, folks, This is odd. Just recently, at home, even though I have it set to display messages as plain text, I'm suddenly seeing pics attached to spam inline, as though I had it set to display html. Can't find anything to make it stop - anyone have a clue? mark

Cannot access Samba shares after latest update
by Ed Gurski 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Yesterday (12/17/16), I updated my Centos 7 machine with the latest updates. Prior to the updates both my Windows 10 and Centos 7 machines were able to access Samba shares hosted on a Fedora 25 server. After rebooting the Centos 7 machine, I get the dreaded "Unable to access location --- Failed to receive share list from server --- Connection refused" message when trying to mount the shares via the "Network Servers" gui. I can see the Samba machine but cannot access it. My Windows 10 machines can still access the shares but not Centos 7. In fact, one of my Windows 10 machines is running as a virtual machine on Centos 7. The Centos 7 only has the Samba client software installed and I can do the following from my Centos 7: "nmblookup samba_machine" and I get the correct response. "smbclient -L samba_machine" and I see all the shares. I did stop the firewall on both machines without success. Any clues?

"locate wireshark|grep bin/" show 2 paths for wireshark; /usr/bin/wireshark /usr/sbin/wireshark opening kde menu editor show simple command 'wireshark'. changing to; /usr/bin/wireshark failed. changed to; /usr/sbin/wireshark failed. do not know about Denmark, but something is rotten here with install. with previous system install, wireshark worked from kde menu w/o any problem. to verify install ran yum to delete, then reinstalled, same problem. question, what might be causing this and how to cure. as always, any and all help, comments, suggestions greatly appreciated. tia.
