Firefox Flash Update = No Flash
by pro alias 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

None of my Centos 5 boxen can show flash since the update this morning. Am I alone or do other people have this issue ?? Centos 7 boxes work properly. I haven't looked at RHEL 6 boxes yet. Although I miss using flash on these boxes, it IS a great security upgrade....

Firewalld
by Emmett Culley 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

I just noticed that when rebooting a CentOS 7 server the firewall comes back up with both interfaces set to REJECT, instead of the eth1 interface set to ACCEPT as defined in 'permanent' firewalld configuration files. All servers are up to date. By "just noticed" I mean that I finally investigated why a newly rebooted VM failed to allow NFS connections. Prior to doing that. I'd been stopping the firewall to get access, then restarting the firewall after setting the eth1 interface to ACCEPT. This time I took a look at iptables and found that eth1 was set to REJECT, before I stopped the firewall. Because it was obvious that firewalld had been started by systemd by noticing the output of iptabled -nvL had the same set of rules you can see when firewalld is restarted, except that after restart interface eth1 is set to ACCEPT. I assume there must be a different set of configuration files that are accessed upon reboot than those accessed upon firewalld restart. Note that all CentoOS 7 machines (VM and hardware) in our data center have this same issue. Anyone know where and what those files are? Emmett

Preventing laptop from sleeping when lid closed?
by Dave Johansen 13 Oct '15

How can I prevent the laptop from sleeping when the lid is closed. I tried messing with the settings in gnome-power-preferences but that doesn't seem to prevent it when no one is logged in. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dave

Fwd: oVirt - High Availability
by Indunil Jayasooriya 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Hi users, I have setup OVIRT 3.5 with* 2 CENTOS 7.1 hosts. Everything is ok other than HA ( High Availability). *To test HA, Documentation says, *Power Management is needed. * Could you pls let me know if this Power Management is a separate Device or does it come with a BRANDED Server such as HP, IBM or Dell? I have seen a* ILO* port in HP servers. Can I use it for HA ( High Availability) in ovirt? If *power management* is *present in Branded Servers*, Could you pls let me know some *Branded RHEL 7.1/CentOS 7.1 supported servers?* Then, I can use it for Production use. Have you guys* DONE HA in CENTOS with ovirt 3.5? * *This is an YOU TUBE video for HA.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHCnXGUMaS0 Is this a correct video for HA? HOPE TO hear from you? -- cat /etc/motd Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya http://www.theravadanet.net/ http://www.siyabas.lk/sinhala_how_to_install.html - Download Sinhala Fonts

Centos 6.7 on Tyan Tiger MPX, Graphics and eArrayDirector
by H 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

I am a newcomer to Centos and could benefit from some help. I am repurposing an older server and installed Centos 6.7 on a Tyan Tiger MPX 2466 motherboard. The installation went flawlessly but the graphics chip on the motherboard is obviously quite old, a Matrix Millennium MGA 2064W, and the slow default driver (VESA?) was installed. Is a faster video driver available? It would be nice to be able to run the desktop more smoothly... The graphics chip has 8 MB of memory. I Googled but did not find a driver. Is this VESA driver the reason the monitor, an Acer S230HL, is not identified but shown as Unknown in the monitor setup? This machine will be hosting the LSI eArrayDirector client and server for two DF4000 fiber channel diskarrays. Unfortunately this Java application cannot be installed on Centos 6.7 but I am hoping there might be some user who have been able to work around this limitation by installing eArrayDirector on another system and then moving the installation to a later Centos version. Comments and suggestions welcome! Thank you.

Annoying license at install
by david 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Folks I have several remotely-located servers, donated by folks not all of whom are computer geeks, let-alone Linux aware. In earlier versions of Centos, I directed them to perform a minimal NetInstall (not too difficult to direct over the phone), and then issue two commands after the first boot. One was a 'curl' to download a script of mine, and the second was a dot-command to run it. A few reboots followed in close succession, and I directed them to logon as root, and issue a simple dot-command. The personal intervention ended usually within an hour, since I had ssh access to the system and root, and could complete the installation and tailoring completely remotely. I would only need their intervention in the case of problems. In many cases, I've not needed to invoke that help for a year or more. This scheme worked well until I decided to add support of graphical desktops on the systems in Centos 7, as I had in Centos 6. Once those packages were installed, further non-intuitive on-site intervention was required at next reboot to approve licenses. Remote ssh logins didn't work until that was done. These licenses needed to be approved on the local console. This is quite annoying and places more demands upon my remote friend. In some cases, the console and keyboard had been removed and the box had been placed in the closet. I am seeking a way to reduce or eliminate this annoyance. The best would be to find some way to 'pre-approve' the license agreement in my customizing scripts. Failing that, it would be nice to be able to approve these scripts from a remote ssh logon. I am reluctant to deploy Centos 7 without GUI support (I use x2go sometimes), and am thus reluctant to deploy centos 7 at this point. Advice and comments welcome David San Francisco

problem on exceptional quit
by Hua Wang 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Dear Centos Users: I installed Centos 7 on my server a few months ago. While using ssh, there is always a strange message "Write failed: Broken pipe”. It forces quit of SSH. It’s really annoying as it happens very often with irregular time interval - from a couple of minutes to a few hours. I have been working using Linux (Red Hat, Fedora and Centos) over 15 years. This didn’t happen for me even under centos 6.6. I have tried the following approaches, but none of them can help. I wonder if it can be solved by reinstall the system again. But it’s time consuming to reinstall a lot of softwares. 1. Login via Mac, Windows, Linux systems from different computers. 2. Modify sshd_config on the server as suggested by many posts: TCPKeepAlive yes ClientAliveInterval 60 3. Modify ~/.ssh/config file on my local computer: Host * ServerAliveInterval 60 4. Login ssh using -Y instead of -X. 5. add ‘unset autologout’ in my .cshrc. 6. I checked IP address with the internet administrator, and it works well. 7. add a file named autologout.csh with ‘set autologout=0’. Do you know a good solution? Thanks!
