Problem with attachments in thunderbird-45.5.1
by Toralf Lund 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Hi, Has anyone else had problems opening attachments in Mozilla Thunderbird under CentOS 6 lately? I find that when I open the application and select a message with attachments and double-click on one of them, everything works as expected. But, if I try to open another (and another etc.), the helper application isn't started. In other words, I can only view one attachment per session - if I want more, I have to restart Thunderbird. This probably started happening after upgrading to a new version that was released a few days ago. - Toralf

Panic on boot with 7.3 kernels when decrypting hard drive
by Christopher St. Louis 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

I was excited to update my system to CentOS 7.3/1611 yesterday when the release announcement came through, but since then I've been running into some serious kernel issues. I've been successfully running 7.2 on a Thinkpad X301 for about 6 months now, with an encrypted disk that unlocks with a password at boot time. I think that's LUKS on LVM? I didn't tinker with the default encryption options so it's nothing too exotic: unencrypted /boot on sda1, encrypted system/home on sda2. I've used both the standard 3.10 kernels and 4.4 kernels from the kernel-lt package from ELrepo with no problems so far. When performing the update to 7.3 yesterday, the packages kernel-lt-4.4.38-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 and kernel-3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 were installed. With both of those, my system comes to a complete, frozen halt on boot, after I've entered my disk decryption key and before I see a login screen. The little progress spinner freezes, and the caps lock light on my keyboard starts blinking, which I've been told indicates a kernel panic. Any manner of key combinations, even the "magic SysRq" combinations do nothing to recover the system--the only way out is to cut the power. I was able to fall back to the still-installed 4.4.36-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 kernel with no problems. On a whim, I tried installing the latest mainline kernel from ELrepo as well (kernel-ml-4.9.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64) and encountered a similar hard lock, minus the blinkenlight in the caps lock key. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Is there anything in what I've described that sounds obvious to what the solution is? It really just seems like the problems are with kernels that have come through following the 7.3 release. I'm still somewhat new at getting into the inner workings of Linux, but is there a log that might shed some light on what went wrong? Thanks in advance, --C

Disable gnome-initial-setup
by Gordon Messmer 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Prior to 7.3, I could disable the post-first-boot GNOME initial setup window by turning off the "initial-setup-graphical" systemd service. That service no longer exists, so I no longer know how to disable the setup window. I know that I can remove the "gnome-initial-setup" package, but I expect that at some point, it'll be brought in by dependencies or group membership, so I'd like to find a way to turn it off regardless of that package's presence. Does anyone know how, in the new version?

disk selection with ks file in 7.3
by Joseph L. Casale 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

My existing ks files leave the disk selection unset in 7.3. Checking the manual, I do not see changes in that area so performing a manual installation and comparing the resulting config to mine yields little difference. Taking the anaconda generated disk config section and deploying a new ks with this halts at disk selection unset still? Anyone seeing this? jlc

7.3 sources ???
by Alice Wonder 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Looking at http://vault.centos.org/ and not seeing them. I need to rebuild krb5 At git.centos.org I can get the spec file, patches, etc. but the source are not there. In particular it looks like I need krb5-1.14.1-pdfs.tar which isn't at the MIT upstream that I can see and nss_wrapper-0.0-20140204195100.git3d58327.tar.xz which from the date *might* be in the 7.2 src.rpm - but since vault doesn't have source RPMs for 7.3 is there another place that either has them or the tarballs that aren't in the git?

[OT] firefox 45.5.1
by geo.inbox.ignored 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

read 'announce' of new release for firefox-45.5.0, then for firefox-45.5.0, decided, wrongly, to upgrade. my bad. nothing but problems. on opening what moz devs considered as 'latest and greatest', found that it was more crapola from moz devs. first run was to login with my isp, only to find page would not fully load and a message bar saying; Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading [Allow] clicking [Allow] button only cycled with same. 10 more clicks, decided that was enough. now, i would like to roll back to earlier 40.x, but no can do because of deleting 40.x to make room for new release. now have /var on it's own partition and have room for updating. 3 questions; 1- anyone else having problems with 45.5.1? 2- where might i find earlier releases of 40.x? 3- if i install 40.x in path /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/, will i be able to roll back. hoping for positive replies to #2 & 3#. replies/suggestions greatly appreciated. tia. -- The important thing is not to stop questioning. - Albert Einstein CentOS GNU/Linux 6.8 KDE 4.3.4 peace out. tc,hago. g . =+= Tired of having your microsoft os hacked?

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1611) on x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 17:42:53 +0000 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1611) on x86_64 Message-ID: <57a573d2-7a27-9472-79d9-1733117c8603(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1611) for 64 bit x86 compatible machines. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1611, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 As always, read through the Release Notes at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 - these notes contain important information about the release and details about some of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from the users. - ---------- Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos Updates released since we froze the iso and install media content are posted in the updates repo along with the release. This will include content from late November 2016 and December 2016, therefore anyone running a new install is highly encouraged to run a 'yum update' operation immediate on install completion. You can apply all updates, including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 7/x86_64 machine by just running 'yum update'. As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built from sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and buildsys process) are being published to match every binary RPM we release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install. This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS Linux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to handle stale content is included in the Release Notes. - ---------- Download In order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to get the mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend using torrents to get your initial installer images: Details on the images are available on the mirrors at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/0_README.txt - that file clearly highlights the difference in the images, and when one might be more suitable than the others.

Look for an announcement posted to the centos-announce list for more information on availability for these in the coming days. - ---------- Dojo We try and organise Dojos in various parts of the world as a one day event, to bring together people who use CentOS and others who are keen to learn about CentOS. The day's focus is on sharing technical knowledge and success stories. It's also a great place to meet and talk about upcoming technologies and learn how others are using them on CentOS Linux. Our next Dojo coming up is in Brussels, on the 3rd Feb 2017. Details are being posted at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2017 If you would like to help organise a Dojo in your area, do drop by the centos-promo list at http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-pro mo - ---------- Getting Help The CentOS ecosystem is sustained by community driven help and guidance. The best place to start for new users is at http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp - ---------- Contributors This release was made possible due to the hard work of many people, foremost on that list are the Red Hat Engineers for producing a great distribution and the CentOS QA team, without them CentOS Linux would look very different. We are also looking for people to get involved with the QA process in CentOS, if you would like to join this please introduce yourself on the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel ). - ---------- Thanks I would also like to thank our donors and sponsors for their continued support for the project. And to everyone who contributed with ideas, code, test feedback, and promoting CentOS Linux into the ecosystem.

Network Manager - force activation of multiple connections
by Gary Stainburn 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

For each of my sites I have set up a server to act as AirPrint server. This requires the LAN connection that the servers have always had, plus a WIFI connection to give it a presence on the WIFI (The WIFI and LAN are on separate VLANS) I have finally dragged myself into the 21st century and used NetworkManager for the connection, using nmtui to do the work. The problem I have is that on most of these servers, thw WIFI connection doesn't always activate on bootup and I have to go into nmtui -> activate -> WIFI etc. to get it working again. Is there a way to force NetworkManager to always activate all interfaces on bootup?
