Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 32-bit WiFi Hardware Switch
by Darr Darr 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Not exactly linux-dependent. According to the docs for the Latitude 620 (available on dell dot com), the wireless switch is on the left side. Slide it towards the front, until its raised position indicator is aligned with the I ("off" is aligned with the O). The WiFi power indicator is on the front panel, in a group with about 4 LEDs... the WiFi indicator appears to actually *say* "WiFi" when it's lit up.

Centos & USB3
by Always Learning 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

I replaced my development machine with 6 cores, 32 GB etc. I thought it would be simply inserting the existing HDDs and changing /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 but, * in the UEFI "BIOS" USB2 and USB3 work. * in C5.11 USB2 works but USB3 does not. * in C6.5 (my install disk; OS be updated to C6.8) USB2 works but USB3 does not. On both C5 and C6 lsusb shows an entry for the plugged-in keyboard (USB2 socket) and for the wireless mouse (USB2 socket) but nothing else. Please does anyone have any ideas how to solve this baffling time-consuming problem ? Is is a UEFI (motherboard Asrock 970A-G/3.1) configuration matter or potentially the absence of a suitable USB3 driver for Centos ? Thank you. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU.

Am I crazy (parted)
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

I swear I've done this dozens of times: a new server, going to install (CentOS 7, in this case), and I manually partition the disk before the install using parted, and do mkpart pri 0.0GB +1.0GB Except now it appears to be saying it doesn't like the +1.0GB, I *think* it's the plus sign. mark

CentOS 7 & MariaDB
by jan.zeller＠id.unibe.ch 27 Sep '16

Dear list, we're actually using # lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) Release: 7.2.1511 Codename: Core on our database server using # yum info mariadb-server Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * EPEL_7: ftp.pbone.net * base: centosmirror.netcup.net * elrepo: mirrors.netix.net * epel: ftp.pbone.net * extras: centosmirror.netcup.net * updates: ftp.uni-bayreuth.de Installed Packages Name : mariadb-server Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 5.5.50 Release : 1.el7_2 . . This version of MariaDB namely 5.5 is officially supported [1] until April 2017. How does CentOS 7 deal with this circumstance ? What will happen when 5.5 runs out ? Do I have to change the repositories manually [2] or does the change happen 'automagically' ? kind regards, Jan [1] https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/what-is-mariadb-55/ [2] https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/yum/

always boot from Elrepo kernel
by johan.vermeulen7＠telenet.be 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hello All, I purchased some Dell Latitude 3570 laptops. They came with Ubuntu preinstalled. ( Which I swapped for Centos7) I have to use Elrepo kernel on these machines to get some of the fn function keys to work. So I installed Elrepo's kernel-ml and selected this kernel with: # grub2-set-default 0 ( after disabling secure boot) The problem I see is that after a next kernel update, the new Centos kernel will be nr 0 and the machine will boot from that kernel if I tested this correctly. Is there a way I can enable elrepo kernel update but not the regular Centos kernel? Many thanks, J.

When I tried to send a print job the job just sat in the print queue. I killed the job and deleted the printer, then re-installed the printer using the Printer configuration tool found under System/Administration/Printing. I've tried all manner of settings, both on the Libre Office document and in the Printer configuration tool. Now I can print to the printer but I cannot get the printer to print in Landscape orientation. Only portrait orientation comes out no matter what settings I choose. I've done a bit of Google work but I find nothing that appears applicable to my specific issue of not getting landscape prints no matter what setting I choose. The HPLIP web site says the latest version of hplip for my machine, RHEL 6 because they apparently have not heard of CentOS, is hplip-3.16.9_rhel-6.0.x86_64. CentOS does not have this version available in the repo. What's a guy to do? Windows should be this hard to work with, but not Linux. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

How to move /var to another partition
by TE Dukes 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hello, I am getting low on space in my /(root) partition. I have 23GB free. I have 350GB in my /home partition. I am the only user. I was experimenting with virtualization and it causes the root partition to get very low. I would like to move /var from the root partition, to the same partition as /home, if that's safe to do. Or, resize /home and add another partition for /var I also don't want to screw the pooch doing it. This is over my head. The more I read about it, the more confused I get. TIA

PHP vulnerability CVE-2016-4073
by Прокси 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Hello, My server with CentOS 6.8 just failed PCI scan, so I'm looking into vulnerable packages. PHP 5.3.3 have multiple vulnerabilities, some of them are fixed/patched or have some kind of workaround. But I can't find a way to fix this one. Red Hat state: under investigation. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2016-4073 This CVE is 6 months old, and it doesn't look like it will be fixed. Does anyone knows the way to go around this? Except blocking mb_strcut() function. Thanks!

Using keepass on Centos 6
by H 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Is anyone running keepass on C6? I have a rather large password database under Windows that I want also to use on my Centos systems. It seems that keepass is not available, it relies on mono and there may be bugs. Googling also seems to suggest that I should download the source code and compile to install. The nux repository seems to have a version for C7, but not for C6. Many suppositions and few facts - perhaps someone knows better? Thanks!
