Actual complaining: nixspam
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

John accused me of complaining about systemd... this here's *real* complaining. Several times every month, my email starts getting bounced by freakin' nixspam, because my giant hosting provider, that hosts millions of domains. Akemi has argued that nixspam works just fine (if so, then why did we get that spam a few weeks ago?). I've politely requested being put on a whitelist, and been politely ignored. I'd also be very surprised if that was not configurable. I've also argued that nixspam's idea of how to block spam is 15 years out of date. More than a dozen years ago, Cogeco was using them, and I was unable to email a close friend in Canada, because of that, and there was no way to get me off the list. And... at the time, my provider was roadrunner, a division of the multinational Time-Warner, and in my area of Chicago, like many areas of Chicago at the time, they were THE ONLY ISP, having bought up or driven out of business all others. This meant that not just me, but tens of thousands of others in Chicago couldn't get through to anyone whose provider chose to use nixspam. Now, almost all small ISPs are long gone, at least in the US, having been eaten or driven under by huge corporations. It is a common thing for ISPs and hosting providers to use a *single* domain for a mailhost, at least for some large subset of their domains. I have zero information, or confidence, that nixspam would not block Verizon, the giant telecom that provides my network access at home, for the same reason. For those reasons, I am once again urging the list owner to *change* spam blocking, and stop using nixspam. At the very least, I request that you *please* put me on a whitelist. Yes, I argue... but so do most of us, and I think that I've helped a number of folks with solutions to problems over the years, if I need to justify my presence on this list. mark

NTFS-3g from EPEL doesn't work here, older one from PUIAS does
by wwp 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hello there, here on my CentOS 6 (up-to-date), since a recent update of the NTFS modules to ntfs-3g-2014.2.15-6 from EPEL repo, mounting my NTFS partitions simply doesn't work ("NTFS signature is missing"). Back to puias' 2011.4.12-5.puias6 and it works again. Such issue observed on several CentOS systems, while upgrading to 6.6. Did I miss something? I browsed the web and RH's bug tracker but found nothing yet. Regards, -- wwp

(KDE has a bug on vncserver enable and creates the wrong symlink in /etc. At least it is different and requires work to get it right). Mate is my next try. I did try the nvidia-detect and it did say to use 340.58. Thanks again for helping me converge. I will be silent for a bit to try out different DEs.

Because Gnome3 requires 3D acceleration, and I'm not sure that nvidia driver would simulate 3D stuff in software (nouveau should fall back to mesa in case hardware acceleration fails --- typical of a vnc session). So my suggestion is to try KDE or XFCE or LXDE or Mate or... any other DE which doesn't require 3D features to work. Such DE should work through vnc using nvidia driver no problem --- the only exception is Gnome3. >/ Backed out Nvidia 340.58, back to nouveau, client vnc works again. />/ Also tried 304 driver (only other one in elrepo for el7) - same />/ problem. / You don't want to guess which driver you need.

The open-source radeon driver is much better supported. That said, the radeon community is not any more active or more extensive than the nouveau community. It's just that AMD has released the specs for their cards, so they have a much easier job of maintaining the radeon driver than the nouveau community (which basically needs to RE everything from scratch).

Centos 7 Nvidia openGL breaks vncserver

Another post on this forum suggested to try the Nvidia driver download directly from Nvidia. Better still, I actually had the original NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.49.run file which worked on Centos 6.5. I did a manual install (run level 3 etc). It installed fine. Same problem though. So, at this point it seems associated with the new C7. Either we can hope for a fix in C7, or I will have to try a non-Nvidia card. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some Background: I learned how to get tigervnc-server working on C7 thru many failed attempts on VMs. I found if I did the following steps exactly, it works. There may be some variability in the sequence that works but I did not try all permutations. But, if I don't do this list exactly, then I would also get the 'oh no ... error at the client. All this to note that getting this to work on C7 with systemd/systemctl is quite sensitive. Steps: Create new VM on hyper-v or kvm (both work fine) Fresh 'DVD' install of C7 1406: both iso file and straight DVD install tried on different VMs. Update software via Software app Install tigervnc-server copy usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:.service to usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:x.service; modified @:x file with user info systemctl enable vncserver@:x.service verify that the vncserver@:x.service symlink is in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ systemctl start vncserver@:x.service Then go to client and start up vnc ..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stan On 18/11/14 18:32, Stan Cruise wrote: >/ Bare metal Centos 6.5, vncserver running, client able to connect with />/ perfect resolution.

mount options
by Fred Smith 19 Nov '14

Hi all! I've got a Venus DS3R Pro2 external drive unit with two drives set up as RAID-1, and the raid volume is formatted as ext4. it is listed in /etc/fstab as: UUID=f787c482-fb92-4ba7-87d6-cfeaef6b64c2 /mnt/backup ext4 defaults,users 0 2 if the external unit (which attaches via e-sata) is NOT powered on when the system boots, it hangs and drops to a maintenance prompt. I'd sure like to have it defer that particular mount and continue to boot. I've been perusing various mount man pages, but don't see any ext4 (or non-filesystem-specific) opotions to allow this. Can any of you offer helpful advice in this matter? Thanks!

Re: [CentOS] Centos7 Net install on HP A1710N fails
by david 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Folks: This conversation was trying to get Centos 7 installed on a machine with a NIC that got de-supported in EL7. Following the advice to do as follows: - Install (via CD) the "minimal" ISO - add the RPM of kmod-forcedeth-0.64-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm from a USB stick, as obtained from ELPRO (install went without serious complaint) I'm at a loss of what to do next, namely - How do I tell Centos that there's a NIC, and how do I configure it? PS: There is no GUI, and the command line display is very tiny. Guidance would be appreciated. David
