Modern FireFox on CentOS 7
by Alice Wonder 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

No idea who this will be useful for, but starting with FireFox 49 I have been running a modern FireFox with CentOS 7. I needed to in order to play with the new Service Worker based Push API but it has other things FireFox 45 ESR doesn't have - such as working html5 details/summary tags - which I make us when a page needs a Table of Contents, for example. Anyway I start with Fedora src.rpm and build it in mock on my system. Here are the changes I made to Fedora spec file for FireFox 50: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --- firefox.spec.orig 2016-11-18 12:31:02.963164405 -0800 +++ firefox.spec 2016-11-18 12:50:16.068918152 -0800 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ # Use system nspr/nss? -%define system_nss 1 +%define system_nss 0 # Use system sqlite? %if 0%{?fedora} > 23 @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ %endif # Hardened build? -%if 0%{?fedora} > 20 +%if 0%{?fedora} > 20 || 0%{?rhel} > 6 %define hardened_build 1 %else %define hardened_build 0 @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ Summary: Mozilla Firefox Web browser Name: firefox Version: 50.0 -Release: 1%{?pre_tag}%{?dist} +Release: 1%{?pre_tag}%{?dist}.0 URL: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/ License: MPLv1.1 or GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+ Group: Applications/Internet @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ Patch204: rhbz-966424.patch Patch215: firefox-enable-addons.patch Patch219: rhbz-1173156.patch -Patch221: firefox-fedora-ua.patch +#Patch221: firefox-fedora-ua.patch Patch223: rhbz-1291190-appchooser-crash.patch Patch224: mozilla-1170092.patch Patch225: mozilla-1005640-accept-lang.patch @@ -269,7 +269,7 @@ %patch204 -p2 -b .966424 %patch215 -p1 -b .addons %patch219 -p2 -b .rhbz-1173156 -%patch221 -p2 -b .fedora-ua +#%%patch221 -p2 -b .fedora-ua %if 0%{?fedora} > 22 %patch223 -p1 -b .appchooser-crash %endif @@ -786,6 +786,9 @@ #--------------------------------------------------------------------- %changelog +* Fri Nov 18 2016 Alice Wonder <buildmaster(a)librelamp.com> - 50.0-1.0 +- Build for CentOS 7, disable UA patch + * Thu Nov 10 2016 Martin Stransky <stransky(a)redhat.com> - 50.0-1 - Update to 50.0 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- nss in CentOS is too old so that has to be disabled.

So I don't apply that patch, X11 Linux in the UA string is enough information on its own. Hope this is helpful to someone, but of course remember that when CentOS is using an older version, you won't benefit from security patch updates to CentOS. Have to watch Fedora to know when its time to download another src.rpm that includes the fixes. So only use this over CentOS FireFox if you really need it.

CentOS 7 + KDE - default keyboard layout?
by Nicolas Kovacs 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with CentOS 7 and KDE 4.14, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised. This is one of the cleanest implementations of KDE I've ever seen, and with some tweaking (a lot, in fact) this can be turned into a highly functional desktop with all the bling and bells and whistles. But right now, I have some minor problems to solve. First things first. My system is installed in French, with a swiss french keyboard (fr_CH-latin1) as default. This works OK in console mode, but when KDE launches the first time, the default keyboard is US, and there's a french (fr-latin1) alternative configured. In my humble opinion, this looks like a minor bug, because the default keyboard should be the same as the one defined in the installer. Now I know this can be changed easily, but I'm planning to use this in a few production environments like our local school. Which would mean I have to log into every single account to switch the keyboard layout manually. Now I wonder if this can't be done by the way of a profile in /etc/skel. I've already created a custom user profile for my users, to be put in /etc/skel. I have a little script that puts all these in the right place: https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/tree/master/el7/kde If I create a few custom keyboard layouts in KDE (say french, swiss french and german), are these stored somewhere locally in ~/.kde/share? I searched around a bit, but couldn't find the place. Any suggestions?

Anaconda installer fails to install nodejs010 and npm due to dependency error

Hi, I have built dependent packages of nodejs010 and npm successfully using mock and copy these RPMS to our ISO, anaconada installer fails to install due to dependency errors: nodejs010-nodejs-are-we-there-yet-1.0.4-1.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(readable-stream) < 2 nodejs010-nodejs-cmd-shim-2.0.0-2.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(graceful-fs) < 4 nodejs010-nodejs-columnify-1.3.2-3.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(strip-ansi) >= 2.0.0 nodejs010-nodejs-fstream-ignore-1.0.2-1.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(minimatch) < 3 nodejs010-nodejs-gauge-1.2.2-3.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(has-unicode) < 2 nodejs010-nodejs-init-package-json-1.9.1-1.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(promzard) >= 0.3.0 nodejs010-nodejs-npm-registry-client-7.0.8-1.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(concat-stream) >= 1.4.6 nodejs010-nodejs-npm-registry-client-7.0.8-1.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(request) >= 2.47.0 nodejs010-nodejs-npm-registry-client-7.0.8-1.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(retry) >= 0.8.0 nodejs010-nodejs-which-1.2.0-1.el7.centos.noarch requires nodejs010-npm(is-absolute) < 0.2 If I download nodejs010 and npm dependent RPMS of same version from yumdownloader command, then I get RPMs without "centos" name. yumdownloader command taken build RPMs from repo: [centos-sclo-rh] :http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/rh/nodejs010/) If I copy paste these RPMS to my custom ISO, then anaconda successfully installs these packages without any error. Kindly answer. Regards, Shagun

Authconfig package fails verification using RPM
by Maheshwari, Shagun 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi, I tried executing the rpm -V command on the packages of the CentOS 7.2 ISO which I have created, the verification failed for some of them. Here is the log for 'authconfig' : Steps: 1. Execute command : rpm -V authconfig 2. Observe the output Expected Result: If there is no error, nothing should be displayed Actual Result: Verification fails with following error log: S.5....T.c /etc/sysconfig/authconfig -When I uninstalled the package and re-installed it using YUM, the verification for the same passed.- -When I executed the same command on the same package of CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1511.iso the verification failed. So, I concluded that the problem is not with my ISO as the same is failing for standard ISO also. Please provide info on what this -V option actually does, and why these verification is failing for even the standard rpms. Is that a flaw ???? Regards, Shagun

Sound restored
by j_post 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Passing on this information in case it may be useful to others. Some months ago I posted a message about my sound on CentOS 6.8 no longer working. I'd done considerable research on the net and found no useful information on the cause. The sound worked if I booted from a live DVD of CentOS 6.8, but not when I booted from the hard drive. Recently during a system update that included a new kernel there where some very interesting messages from yum about the problem but no information that helped with a solution. Someone else recently posted a message with the same output from yum. None of the suggestions helped with my computer though. Then, just on a whim, I logged in as root and the sound worked, but only if I logged in as root. Long story short: Copying the files in /root/.pulse to my home .pulse directory solved the problem. I now have sound! I have no idea how those files in ~/.pulse got changed. It would be interesting to know if anyone has any ideas. (And, no, I did not do any messing around with system configuration by any means, so that's not how the files got changed.) Jeff

Migration is scheduled for """"Monday November 21th, 8:00 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2016-11-21 8:00 UTC') Expected downtime is ~1 hour (time for backup/archives to be restored, and DNS records propagation) but we hope to be able to restart the service earlier. The new mail host will be CentOS 7 based, so mailman will jump from version 2.1.12 to 2.1.15, and we'll have proper IPv6 connectivity, meaning AAAA records for mail.centos.org and lists.centos.org. If you have questions, comments or feedback, please join the #centos-devel channel on irc.freenode.net.

ACPI ERROR
by Alessandro Baggi 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hi list, I've installed C7 1511 (kernel 3.10.x) on a skylake mother board with i3-6100. I know about skylake problems. For the iGPU I've used i915.preliminary_support and ok. Some days ago, I get different strange error on this machine. When screensaver starts or when monitor will be in energy saving, if I try to get access to the system I get different strange behaviour and can't use my machine. To solve this, I've disabled monitor power saving from kde. Yesterday, I've powered off this machine through an ssh session an system won't shut down and get error like "shutdown was delayed for 120 seconds..." but I can't supply information about this last problem. In my dmesg I get: [ 0.000000] ACPI Error: Gpe0Block - 32-bit FADT register is too long (32 bytes, 256 bits) to convert to GAS struct - 255 bits max, truncating (20130517/tbfadt-202) [ 0.000000] ACPI: IRQ0 used by override.

long delay when logging in
by Larry Martell 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

I have a CentOS 7 system and when I login with putty or ssh there is a long delay before I get the password prompt. I ran ssh -v and I found that it gets up to this: debug1: ssh_ecdsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received and then it sits there for 1-2 minutes and then this output blasts out: debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-keyex debug1: No valid Key exchange context debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information No Kerberos credentials available debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information No Kerberos credentials available debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information No Kerberos credentials available debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_ecdsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug1: Next authentication method: password And then the password prompt comes out. This happens no matter which user is logging in. It only happens on the 1 system. I have 5 others where the proceeds without the delay. There are no disk or memory or any other errors in the logs. What could be causing it to delay like this?

Centos 7 Boot Partition
by Matt 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

What size is recommended for the /boot partition? After doing a fresh install and lengthy backup restore I realized I only made it 200M. Is this going to be a problem?
