Re: [CentOS] what browser plugin provides Quicktime on 7.2?

The problem with Firefox appears to be that the apple site is sending the wrong coding for FF so requiring embedded quicktime, rather than using FF's HTML5. See: <https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/3jtuxr/firefox_and_apple_trailers/> specifically the third comment (by caspy7). Follow caspy7's github link for further discussion and help on the user-agent resolution. Switching my FF user-agent to claim it was my tablet's chrome let these videos play fine. It appears that Apple's view is that page designers shouldn't be coding to require the plugin -- see bottom of: <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205081> so it's somewhat amusing that their site is doing just that.

That's what it sounded like, but I didn't want to assume that because it's absolutely insane. If you don't want to send ICMP traffic, then drop incoming traffic that you don't want instead of rejecting it.

Hi, >From last some days I am facing the unexpected huge ICMP traffic is going out from Server. I have blocked icmp ports in iptables and if I execute the Ping manualy its blocking. Some process is send this huge traffic. Below is tcpdump output. ================================ 16:23:27.817856 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl 64, id 55278, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 104) example.com > ***.***.***.***: ICMP host example.com unreachable - admin prohibited, length 84 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 56, id 52085, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 76) ***.***.***.***.5189 > example.com.https: Flags [P.], cksum 0xa427 (correct), seq 2571871600:2571871636, ack 1159342022, win 65535, length 36 ================================ How this can be controlled ? Thanks, Shital

Are you debugging the wrong bit? Isn't this X starting correctly, but the xinit desktop environment is likely failing? jh

Hi all, Is it possible to run cronjobs configured by a user to run only when he/she is logged (via GDM/KDM,etc.)? Thanks.

(OT) Computer seems to have died
by tdukes＠palmettoshopper.com 06 Jan '16

Hello, I have an old IBM Netvista. Lately, it would seem to go into sleep mode but I have all that disabled. I would have to power off to wake it up. Now I think its done. I can't even get to the CMOS/BIOS. The power light is on but no beeps or anything spinning up. I have two of these Netvistas and had put on away when I upgraded one of the machines. I pulled the HD from it and installed it in the other. Same thng. I'm fairly certain it was working when I updraded. I've swapped out monitors as well. Power supply or hard drive, any ideas? TIA

what browser plugin provides Quicktime on 7.2?
by Fred Smith 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Several of the plugins I used on C6 no longer seem to be available, so I can't figure out what to use for Quicktime (apple.com/trailers) Advice appreciated!

packagekit yumBackend question, perhaps
by Nicholas Geovanis 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Periodically I find the yumBackend python script of packagekit really slows down my CentOS 7 system. I don't invoke anything myself which starts it and I find nothing in crontab which does either, except perhaps /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron. But I can't be sure that is the culprit. I don't find anything at http://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit which helps me to debug this. Would someone point me in a useful direction so that I can find out what /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py is doing, why it is doing it, and how it can be controlled? Many thanks....Nick

A query on graphic console
by Timothy Murphy 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

I'm only getting a text console with CentOS-7.2 on my (oldish) HP MicroServer. The only explicit error I see in Xorg.0.log is that no driver is found for my Pixart USB optical mouse. My query is: would that be sufficient to prevent a graphic console? Incidentally, I can use X apps, eg xpdf, if I ssh in from my laptop. As always, any advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

SSD drives for the OS - 1 or 2?
by Rob Kampen 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Preparing to build a small replacement server (initially built in 2005) and normally for the OS I would buy 2x500GB drives and deploy in a RAID 1 configuration. Now we have SSD drives available - does just a single SSD drive offer the same reliability or is there advantage in deploying two in a Raid 1 config? Also, what form factor / interface is best for the SSD OS boot device on a server M/B? Anything I should be looking for? It seems most SSD are in laptop drive size, shape and interface - thus not a good fit into a server motherboard unless I'm missing something. - what devices are you using? Thanks in advance. Rob
