Keyboard layout on remote, local, ... CentOS 6; strange behaviour
by Walter H. 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Hello, I did the following: in /boot/grub/menu.lst I added/replaced KEYTABLE=us-acentos in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard I have this: KEYTABLE="us-acentos" MODEL="pc105" LAYOUT="us" KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" VARIANT="intl" my host system is Windows; and for connecting to Linux terminal I use PuTTY in Windows I have configured German keyboard layout; what would someone expect, when using PuTTY to connect to the above configured CentOS 6 I thought that there I have the US intl layout; but its German; when I switch the keyboard layout in Windows to US intl. and connect to a CentOS 6, where the following is configured in /boot/grub/menu.lst KEYTABLE=de-latin1-nodeadkeys and in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard this: KEYTABLE="de-latin1-nodeadkeys" MODEL="pc105" LAYOUT="de" KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" VARIANT="nodeadkeys" here I thought I have German keyboard layout, but it isn't; it's US in short: why do I have the keyboard layout, which is configured at the host running PuTTY and not which is configured in CentOS? when I log into the Linux directly at the console, I do have the configured keyboard layout; Thanks, Walter

dnf and failing epel
by lejeczek 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

hi everyone, I use dnf but one epel fails in a peculiar way: $ dnf repolist Failed to open: /var/cache/dnf/x86_64/7/x86_64/7/epel/repodata/8415cbb16f52517f34e3edac12a97c9893117f7b9de6cb22fc086048febd1c60-updateinfo.xml.bz2. that file is there, so I tampered with perms & fcontext but to no avail. dnf clean does remove it but on the first contact to epel repo it fails again. Do you see it with your centoses? ps. I wonder if my email get though to the group, I receive mailing list emails but I don't get my own emails? b.w. L

Fwd: CentOS on new Dell

I'd love to hear how's CentOS 7 support for E7470 hardware. Hi Milos, The Thinkpad T series and Latitude are *very* similar computers. They are both business "ultrabooks" with a 1600x1080 display option, nice keyboards (not "chicklet" style), a trackpoint and trackpad and RJ-45 builtin. I bought a Dell Latitude E7470 over the Lenovo for several reasons. One is this comment which is worth mentioning again: On Fri, Sep 30, 2016 at 11:58 PM, Gordon Messmer <gordon.messmer(a)gmail.com> wrote: > It's worth mentioning again that Dell is one of the companies doing the > development for the bits that don't work, and that those drivers are often > the ones that get Lenovo equipment going, too. Lenovo does not, to the best > of my knowledge, do any Linux development. Another reason is that I have heard about people having problems with Lenovo. Not just with software but with hardware malfunctions. I spoke to someone on the phone that had hardware problems with their new Thinkpad (although I suspect some of the problems could have been misdiagnosis by the user). After describing how nice the E7470 they're thinking about dumping their 1yo X250 and getting a Dell. As for the Carbon, that is a very different computer. The Carbon is an ultralight / thin Macbook-like machine with Windows so I have no advice for you there. I have not tried CentOS on the E7470 but I'm quite certain it would not work because I have tried the latest Fedora Live which is about 100 kernel revisions newer and even that doesn't completely work. Specifically, if I plug in an external display it freezes. My feeling is I need a newer display driver (and thus newer kernel). The only other issue I noticed was that wireless didn't work but it seems more like a glue issue and not necessarily a driver. Otherwise, suspend and everything else worked near as I can tell which is actually pretty impressive for a brand new machine. So, I am doing other things while this new E7470 ages like a fine wine. Or maybe I'll loose patience and just install Fedora and try a "vanilla" kernel package. Then maybe after a year or two CentOS 8 or whatever will run on it and then I can just run steady for 4+ years without getting pummeled by stupid updates and feature creep that you get with Fedora and Ubuntu or whatever the latest hot distro is. The E7470 is obviously a laptop of choice for business people. And that is the type of machine developers use. So chances of good compatibility are very high. You just have to give it time. I was watching Daredevil season 1 and they use Latitudes that look exactly like mine. And that was probably filmed in 2014. So the form factor at least has been around for a while which is good. Unfortunately I can't say the same thing about the show. Mike

CentOS repo issue
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

I just built these servers, and the other admin added some more packages, then we moved them into the datacenter. I see errors from a cron job, Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64 error was 14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org; Unknown error" So I logged on, and ran yum list apcupsd, to see if it was having issues getting epel, and got: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64 Clues for the poor? mark

fprintd needed?
by Jon LaBadie 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

On a 7.2 desktop system I see irregular attempts to start the fingerprint authentication daemon "fprintd". One of the messages is "D-Bus service launched with name: net.reactivated.Fprint" This fails as there is no fingerprint device. fprintd.service is disabled. Without a fingerprint device, is this software needed. Yum removal (aborted) shows no packages dependent on fprintd. Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jon(a)jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd.

Centos 7 Minimal and Quotas
by Matt 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

I have installed Centos 7 Minimal in a 1TB KVM. Used XFS file system. I did not use LVM. I need to install Directadmin which requires quotas. I have this in fstab: UUID=b482396d-d2fc-49ed-b9df-c49e9387405b / xfs defaults 0 0 UUID=e24a16e0-57ab-42b2-af0b-9edf789376e5 /boot xfs defaults 0 0 UUID=b08b8243-6b46-444c-a7bd-02934246d884 swap swap defaults 0 0 I get this: # repquota / repquota: Mountpoint (or device) / not found or has no quota enabled. repquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota. I tried changing / from defaults to defaults,usrquota,grpquota in fstab and rebooting but I still get the same result. What do I need to do here?

Disable calendar notification in GNOME / CentOS 7 ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, Here's one of the problems adressed in a previous thread, but it got somehow swept away in the heat of the discussion. Since I'm using Thunderbird and not Evolution, I'd like to get rid of the calendar notifications in GNOME's system menu. Ideally, things should work like this: https://extensions.gnome.org/static/extension-data/screenshots/screenshot_1… There's an extension called "Nothing To Do" which is supposed to do exactly that, e. g. get rid of the calendar notifications: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/153/nothingtodo/ Unfortunately there seems to be no way to use it with the GNOME version shipping with CentOS. I spent a couple hours jumping through various burning loops, without success. Any idea how this could be done?

Thunderbird vs. Evolution vs. OwnCloud
by Nicolas Kovacs 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, I'm currently using Thunderbird synced to OwnCloud on my main workstation running Slackware64 14.1. I just installed CentOS 7 on my Asus S300 laptop. It's running nicely, and I'm spending some time getting acquainted with it. I wonder if I should stick with Thunderbird or go with the default Evolution application, since this seems to be better integrated into the desktop, namely the calendar function. On the other hand, it seems like you have to jump through burning loops to connect Evolution to OwnCloud. What are your experiences with these two clients and OwnCloud? Any suggestions?
