sudoers
by Chris Olson 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

My experience with RHEL and CentOS is quite limited, andwould classify me as novice. I have been running CentOS 6for a little over a year and recently brought up a CentOS 7system as a virtual machine under Windows 7. One of the first things I usually do after installation isedit the /etc/sudoers file using visudo to give a specificuser or specific users privileges as indicated in the fileexcerpt below. The visudo editor issued no error messageswhen creating the line for sarah. ## user MACHINE=COMMANDS ## ## The COMMANDS section may have other options added to it. ## ## Allow root to run any commands anywhere root ALL=(ALL) ALL sarah ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL On our CentOS 6 systems, the NOPASSWD option works as itis intended to work. No password prompt is presented for commands such as "sudo cat /etc/sudoers". On CentOS 7,the NOPASSWD option does not seem to work, and a promptfor sarah's password is always issued. Can someone help solve this CentOS 7 mystery? Thank you and best regards.

newbie question on installation over existing Linux
by Kay Schenk 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

If I choose to do a fresh install of CentOS 6 with "replace existing Linux systems", will it also wipe out my /home directory? In the past when I've done this with another Linux distro, /home was not affected. Or, would I need to do "fresh" install and then muck with partitioning using a Custom Layout? Right now, it's kind of looking like the latter to me, and if so, will I lose data? I spent some time on the Forums and reading the RH documentation, but, no real answers to this specific question. Thanks for any help. -- -------------------------------------------- MzK "We can all sleep easy at night knowing that somewhere at any given time, the Foo Fighters are out there fighting Foo." -- David Letterman

Hello All, I have the problem described in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1116756 It is also descibed in some detail here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1264811 After printing, the print icon stays in the system tray until I logout. The bugzilla says there is a fix for Fedora21. Does anybody know how to get this fixed for C7? Thanks very much. Greetings, Johan

Why is sha256-generic preferred over sha256-ssse3?
by Steve Snyder 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

The newly-released kernel v2.6.32-504.23.4.el6 includes the back-ported SHA256-SSSE3 driver. Why is the generic version of the SHA256 driver selected at runtime instead of the SSSE3 version on this x86_64 system? Yes, my CPU does support the SSSE3 instruction set, and the use of SHA256 is invoked by the LUKS "cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" option. On the running system I see that the sha256-ssse3 driver is not loaded. Further evidence that the generic driver is in use: # grep sha256 /proc/crypto name : sha256 driver : sha256-generic So... what's the trick to using the sha256-ssse3 driver instead of the generic driver? Thanks.

Resize KVM NTFS file system
by Mark LaPierre 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hey all, I resized a partition inside a KVM RAW file system disk image. When I start the Win7 virtual machine it does not report the new partition size. It shows the file system as 15GB instead of the 50GB size of the partition that it lives on. I gather from hours so reading the manual that I need to increase the NTFS file system size to fill the new larger partition where it lives. The ntfresize command does not seem to be compatible with disk image files. Do I have to mount the disk image file with a loopback first? I tried doing it inside the Win7 VM using the disk management tools but that didn't work either. Any suggestions welcome. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

how do I make my headset work
by Michael Hennebry 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

How do I make my headset work. Before I try it with anything else, I'd like to make it work with arecord and aplay. VLC and movie player can make sounds with my external speakers. though not in my headset yet. I've got an insignia NS-PAH5101 headset. As directed, the red connector is in the pink spot and the green connector in green spot in the back of my computer. arecord folloed by aplay just gets me static. To the best of my knowledge, my singing is distinguishable from static. I'm running CentOS 6 [hennebry@localhost notes]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 11 17:57:25 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux hennebry@localhost notes]$ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 2: ALC883 Alt Analog [ALC883 Alt Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I'm at a loss how to debug this.

exclude directory from rsync
by Tim Dunphy 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

hey guys, I'm trying to do an rsync of the entire /var directory, but exclude just the /var/www directory. So far I've tried these approaches: rsync -avzp --exclude-from=/var/www /var/ /mnt/var/ rsync -avzp --exclude=/var/www /var/ /mnt/var/ But neither has worked. Can I get a suggestion on how to get this to happen? Thanks, Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

rpmforge vs epel
by Michael Hennebry 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

I've been informed that rpmforge and epel do not play well together and that if I use both, epel should have the higher (lower numbered) priority. Alas I had it the other way around. rpmforge messed up my effort to get audacity. I no longer need audacity, but would like to fix the situation before some other problem crops up. Would fixing the priorities and telling yum to reinstall all the packages from rpmforge be useful? Would it be dangerous? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.
