[OT} Odd tmux behaviour on exit
by James B. Byrne 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

CentOS-6.6 tmux-1.6 (epel) Twice now I have experienced the situation where upon exiting from a tmux initiated session on a remote host instead of returning to the originating session I see this in the session terminal display: <pre> ················································································ ·································<infinite>····································· . . . <infinite lines of dots> . . . ·································<infinite>····································· ················································································ <pre> If I resize the terminal window then the dots expand to fill the available display. The scroll-back is not affected. I am unable to regain control of that terminal session from within the session itself. Looking at the processes runnin on that host from a direct ssh session shows this: <pre> # ps -ef | grep ssh root 1502 1 0 Dec12 ? 00:00:06 /usr/sbin/sshd root 10798 1502 0 10:00 ? 00:00:09 sshd: root@pts/0 root 13015 10810 0 10:12 pts/1 00:00:08 ssh inet07 -t -Y tmux || /bin/bash root 13017 1502 0 10:12 ? 00:00:08 sshd: root@pts/2 root 15622 1502 0 10:45 ? 00:00:00 sshd: root root 16033 1502 1 10:47 ? 00:00:00 sshd: root@pts/3 root 16099 16038 3 10:48 pts/3 00:00:00 grep ssh [root@inet07 ~]# ps -ef | grep 10810 root 10810 10809 0 10:00 pts/1 00:00:00 -bash root 13015 10810 0 10:12 pts/1 00:00:08 ssh inet07 -t -Y tmux || /bin/bash root 16113 16038 0 10:48 pts/3 00:00:00 grep 10810 [root@inet07 ~]# ps -ef | grep 10809 root 10809 1 0 10:00 ? 00:00:03 tmux root 10810 10809 0 10:00 pts/1 00:00:00 -bash root 16115 16038 3 10:48 pts/3 00:00:00 grep 10809 </pre> pts/3 is the diect ssh connection. pts/1 appears to be the tmux session instigated from the ssh login pts/2. I am guessing that the problem is somewhere in the shutdown of pts/1. If I kill 13015 (pts/1) from the direct ssh connection then I return control of the tmux session back to the terminal and I remain logged on to the remote host. If I then exit the remote host I return to the original host as expected. Tmux is called from the original session using a function named sshtn as defined below: # declare -f sshta () { ssh "$*" -t -Y 'tmux a || tmux || /bin/bash' } sshtn () { ssh "$*" -t -Y 'tmux || /bin/bash' } Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this; and is there any way of preventing it? In this instance I had opened an X-Window application (gvim) in the remote tmux instance and had subsequently shut that down prior to exiting. Nonetheless, I am wondering if that has anything to do with the situation. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Pre-packaged Python 2.7 for 32-bit CentOS 6?
by Alfred von Campe 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Either this doesn’t exist or my Google-foo is failing me this morning. I keep coming across the Software Collections Repository (http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL) but that is for 64-bit only. Before I attempt to create Python-2.7 RPMs for 32-bit CentOS 6 to install into /usr/local or /opt/python-2.7, I wonder if someone else has done this so I don’t have to re-invent the wheel. Thanks, Alfred

But then I immediately go into the X-Windows desktop and open a logon terminal session. There I su -l to root and leave it open; tmux'ing over ssh from there to all the other hosts as required. I do have that 'root' terminal session profiled with a red background. Just to remind me of where I am. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

If you are using GRUB 0.97 (legacy GRUB), then this capability is provided by the "default saved" and "fallback" commands.

need guidance on getting started...again
by Clayton Kirkwood 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello, It's been about 15 years since I've enjoyed working in the Unix space, and I am trying to reintegrate myself. A few things have changed in the intervening years. I've installed the first Centos6 iso without too much difficulty, but I am rusty on commands and such. It appears the install doesn't install mans so would somebody suggest a way to find and install them. It appears that there are several install package implementations. Which is the best to use? Any other helpful guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm going with Centos 6 because I only have a 32 bit machine, otherwise I'd be up on 7, I would think. Thanks, Clayton You can tell the caliber of a man by his gun--c. kirkwood

Error: libusb-1.0.so.0 is needed....
by ken 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Trying to install Canon printer driver package (rpm), I get a dependency error: libusb-1.0.so.0 is needed.... The version currently installed on my 5.9 system is libusb-0.1.12-6.el5 and, AFAIK (per yum), no upgrade to that is available. So question: Do higher centos versions have libusb-1.0.so ? (We could perform a quick inventory with: uname -r; rpm -q libusb Thanks.

Howto install Centos6/7 Comcast WA/OR
by david 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Has anyone managed to install a Centos6 or Centos7 in Washington or Orgegon, or anywhere else that Comcast has deployed the IPV6to4 routers. The router in question is a Xfinity DCP3939 Router with Wireless, and I'm trying to get a Centos system working behind that router (with a wired connection), and enable SSH access from outside. Does one have to enable both IPV6 and IPV4? Can I enable IPV6 after install, or do I have to restart the installation from scratch (it has Centos6 installed via an earlier IPV4 router). How does one configure the router so that its DHCP system awards a known address to that machine, and how to forward port 22? The extra problem is that I'm trying to advise the owner of this configuration remotely. Behind that same router he has a working Windows 7 machine, and I can use Team Viewer to view the router's configuration from "inside". Any assistance would be appreciated. Comcast is of no help.

Broadcom wireless card: installation script for Linux-STA driver
by Niki Kovacs 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop. The wireless card is only poorly supported in the default setup, so I decided to write an installation script for the Linux-STA driver, which works perfectly. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/6.x/broadcom-sta/broadcom-s… Grab the files: # git clone https://github.com/kikinovak/centos Run the script: # cd centos/6.x/broadcom-sta # broadcom-sta.sh Reboot and you're ready to go.

Remote Git vs. GNOME on CentOS 6.6: cannot open display
by Niki Kovacs 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Hi, I just installed a fresh CentOS 6.6 desktop. It's a client's machine, it is physically installed on a testbench in my office. Usually, when I perform installations, I start with the base system on the testbench, and once networking is configured, I SSH into it and then do all the fine-tuning remotely. My configuration files, scripts and HOWTOs are all stored in a Github repository. The problem I have with the default configuration of Git under CentOS is that GNOME "hijacks" Git's authentication process. Meaning whenever Git asks for credentials, this happens in a very ugly authentication window. But the real problem is in a remote session, where I can't use Git anymore. Here's what I get: [root@optiplex-330 ~]# git clone https://kikinovak@github.com/kikinovak/centos Initialized empty Git repository in /root/centos/.git/ (gnome-ssh-askpass:2440): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Anyone knows how to stop this annoying behavior? I'm typing these lines on a Slackware64 14.1 + KDE installation, and when I use Git on this machine, credentials are always asked for in the terminal itself, not in a GUI popup.
