Power consumption increased after upgrading to 6.6
by Net Foss 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hi all, I am using lm_sensors to monitor the power consumption of a CentOS box. I notice that after upgrading from 6.5 to 6.6 the power consumption increased sharply from approx. 60 watts to 80 W. Screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByZyHlY3p2UHSkdhTzBDQVYzSlE Anyone has same issue? -- Netfoss

Non-gnome desktops on CentOS-7
by James B. Byrne 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Is there a writeup somewhere detailing how one installs a non-gnome desktop? I have installed both KDE and Mate and both fail with the same error. (EE) no screens found. I am a bit bewildered that neither the official KDE from centos nor the semi-official mate from epel pull in as part of their install the Xserver. I am also bothered by the fact that installing a desktop other than gnome 3 does not in fact provide one that can be started from the command line. I am not trying anything complicated here. I just want to install a working desktop that is not gnome. Is this possible on CentOS7? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

CentOS 6.5 Vault Repository missing
by Will McKeon 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hey all, I went to go and pull some rpms from the CentOS 6.5 vault, but the CentOS-Vault repo file is referencing urls that no longer exist. Navigating to the URL, I noticed that the OS folder now only contains the SOURCE folder. I noticed that this is also true for 6.6, 7.0, and others. I already have the most up-to-date centos-release rpm. I've done some searching and can't find any information about those repos. Are those repos down for maintenance or has the structure been modified permanently? Thanks, Will

automated smtp server check
by Frank Cox 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

I would like to set up a cron job to automatically check whether my mailserver and webserver are up, and tell me if they're not. This script tells me if my webserver is up: #!/bin/bash wget -q --tries=10 --timeout=20 --spider http://melvilletheatre.com if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then echo "Online" else echo "Offline" fi How can I do the something similar with my mailserver? Or if someone knows of an integrated tool that will monitor this in a better way (whatever that may be), I'm more than interested. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

No sound hardware detected for other users
by Mark LaPierre 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hey Y'all, This morning my wife complained that she had no sound when she was logged on to my machine. I logged on to her account and brought up System/Preferences/Sound to see if she had inadvertently selected some other sound output device. Hey, it happens. There was no sound hardware detected. I have a USB microphone and an integrated on board sound card. Neither of these sound devices were available on the Hardware, Input, or Output tabs. I have access to all these devices when I log on as myself. This system has been running smoothly since I installed CentOS 6.1 all those many years ago when that was the current point release. Now that 6.6 is out I'm seeing issues with video, fixed already, sound, not fixed already, and my web cam which I have yet to ask for help with. I'm not saying this sound problem has anything to do with 6.6. Does anyone have any idea where I can start looking to figure out what's going on with my wife's sound hardware detection? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

However, aside from proving that there is some history to the open-vm-tools this really doesn't reflect on the compatibility of the current version. Boris.

It just seems a little odd to me to require that amount of manual effort when one wants to reuse the entire disk for a fresh install. I seem to recall that in 6.5 one could simply tell the installer to do exactly that. In any case, somehow I experienced the situation that, even though I had 'deleted' each of the old mount points, the CentOS-7 installer would not reuse the original boot partition space but instead created a new one. I am not sure what was going on or what I did that caused this. In the end I rebooted from the liveCD and used the disk utility to manually remove all of the partitions on the HDD and then re-installed from the minimal DVD. That seems to have returned the partition table to something I am more comfortable with. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

I'll wait for the fixed version to migrate to the stable repo; it's not urgent for me. What's your guestimate for how long? Weeks? Months? David

updating pandoc and converting to UTF-8
by Jason T. Slack-Moehrle 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi guys, I need to run pandoc. (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html) I did this: rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm yum install -y pandoc This is version 1.9.4.1 They are up to 13.1.1. How can I update to the latest? Yum doesn't have anything more that I can see. Also, is there a tool like 'iconv' on OS X where I can convert between encodings? It seems when moving this from OS X to Linux I am getting a few encoding errors when building my project. Thoughts are appreciated. Jason

Mount iPhone ios-8 on CentOS-7
by James B. Byrne 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Yesterday I upgraded my Iphone to ios8 for Redphone/Signal and just now have discovered that I no longer can mount the iPhone as a USB device to effect data transfers from the camera roll. Googling around has not revealed any RHEL/CentOS specific fixes although apparently Ubuntu has done something on the matter. Is there any way to get an ios8-ified iPhone to mount on CentOS6.6 any more? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
