Remote Desktop Recommendations
by david 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Folks I'm looking for a way to access a GUI desktop on a Centos 7 server from a Windows client. I have tried: - X2go from EPEL (fails immediately, apparently they are working on a solution, but...) - Freenx (doesn't exist for EL7) Both the above work fine with Centos 6. Are there any known working solutions? Thanks... Mystified but not urgent in San Francisco David

I'm reluctant to switch to it. But, if that's all that works, I might have to. Thanks for the input. David

Building mod_suphp on Centos 7
by Steven Stern 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

I've downloaded the tarball. When I run ./configure, I get [sdstern@cumberland suphp-0.7.2]$ ./configure configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in config "."/config I've installed libtool, autoconf and automake. shtool and install-sh are installed. Any clues on how to get this to configure? Or does anyone know of a repo where I can get an rpm for C7? -- -- Steve

ps/2 mouse stopped working
by Gergely Buday 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hi there, I was using a ps/2 mouse. I had to connect a ps/2 keyboard. As I have only one ps/2 socket I connected an usb mouse. I then removed the other keyboard and reconnected the ps/2 mouse and removed the usb mouse. Now the ps/2 mouse does not work, even after reboot. What should I do? - Gergely

Mother boards for Centos 7
by Alessandro Baggi 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hi list, I need a new mobo for my workstation. I'm planning to buy Asus Z97K or Asus Z97 Pro and install Centos 7. Anyone has experiences with these mobos? I need to know if Z97 chipset and NIC Realtek 8111GR are supported by C7. Another question about Intel I218V NIC installed on Asus Z97 Pro. Is it supported? I've ridden from google that Z97 chipset seems be supported by Linux but I need a valid confirmation for C7 Support. From this link https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=47149 seems that C7 works great with Z97. For Intel i218C and Realtek 8111GR I can't get info. If these two mobos are not supported by C7 can you tell me some asus model? Thanks in advance.

Setting up NFS on Centos 6.6
by cl＠qgenuity.com 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello, I'm having an unusual amount of trouble setting up Centos 6.6 as an NFS server. I have already created my exportfs file and run "chkconfig nfs on". My copy of centos is running inside a virtual bubble. The server provider has loaded the nfsd module. I run: chkconfig nfs on service rpcbind start service nfs start The final command produces: # service nfs start FATAL: Module nfsd not found. FATAL: Error running install command for nfsd Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ] Starting RPC idmapd: [ OK ] showmount -e produces: Export list for (server): /(directory) (server address) but when I try to mount mount -t nfs -v (address):/(dir) /mnt/nfs mount.nfs: timeout set for (date) mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4,addr=::1,clientaddr=::1' mount.nfs: mount(2): No such device mount.nfs: No such device Does anyone know what I need to do to get nfs working? Thank you.

Centos 6.6 does not have a default firewall?

I noticed that the 6.6 x86_64 DVD ISO install of minimal no longer creates a /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.

CentOS7 and desktops

Having just gone through the CentOS7 Desktop experience I would say that Mate is, for all intents and purposes, Gnome2 on CentOS-7. And KDE is, essentially the Windows XP desktop brought to Linux. Obviously there are differences, some more visible than others, but I believe that if you liked the XP desktop then go with KDE and if you preferred Gnome2 then go with Mate. Whatever you do, ditch Gnome3. It is an exercise in futility to try and get anything useful done in the way of sysadmin from the Gnome3 desktop without having to first research, install and configure a significant number of add-ons. None of which are guaranteed to work with the next point release of Gnome. > I've previously bought 2 copies of RedHat > so I *have* contributed $$ to the cause, but I don't care much > for the whole subscription model; Community support works fine > for me (if I was running a business on it, I'm certain I'd > feel differently about that). Do not count on your current feeling changing in that event. We had multiple copies of RedHat EL for several of the early iterations and we moved to WhiteBox -> CAOS -> CentOS. Primarily this was because, in most cases, we got quicker and more accurate answers to our support related questions on forums and mailing lists. I am sure RedHat support is of great value to many companies. Probably it is the case that the bigger the client is the better the value received. But for us the benefit obtained did not warrant the expenditure made. And, given the installed base ratio of CentOS:RHEL, I infer that this is the case for many, may others. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

outside ssh connection from two different ISP's
by Frank Cox 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

I have both cable and dsl service. The router attached to the cable service is 192.168.0.1 and the router attached to the dsl service is 192.168.0.254. I determine which service my computers communicate through by setting the gateway assignment to either of those addresses and it just works. I can connect to my computers from the outside by port forwarding from my routers to the computer that I want to connect to. However, the outside ssh connection works only if the computer's gateway assignment matches the router that I'm connecting to. I suspect that I have to set up some sort of routing assignment to tell the computer to reply to the gateway that the ssh connection request came in on if it doesn't match the current gateway assignment, but I have no idea how to do that. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
