Screen refresh seems to fail until I move the window
by Rob Kampen 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi List, Over the last month or so I have noticed a problem that seems to be becoming more noticeable. Initially I noticed this on Thunderbird and Firefox and assumed (yeah that makes an ass out of u and me) it was related to mozilla updates to these products. As I was working mainly with email and the browser, I did not notice it also affects other products. What happens is this: I delete an email, initially nothing changes on the screen, in fact the screen only updates if I do any of the following (not an exhaustive list) press the down arrow to move onto the next email click on the title bar and move the window move the mouse to the bottom pane and use the scroll wheel - this will update this pane to the next email content, but fails to update the email header pane click on some other folder etc. OR working in gedit with multiple tabs (files) open. click to close a tab - nothing happens until I click on the title bar and move the window, or click onto another tab and then scroll in the edit pane .... OR working in firefox, and a pop up dialog box opens, the screen locks but no dialog box visible until I move the window slightly, when it does a screen refresh and greys out the main window and reveals the pop up box. Running on CentOS 6.5, fully up to date as of Sunday, with nvidia graphics using the kmod packages from elrepo. I also use compiz as my ASUS GT640 PCI-E 2GB graphics card has lots of horse power and run two 22" monitors via DVI cables from the single graphics card. Not sure what else is relevant Not a show stopper, but starting to really bug me. TIA for any ideas. Rob

Hi there, I tried to compile some trivial LaTeX file with the shipped XeLaTeX: $ xelatex trivial.tex This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999.3 (TeX Live 2013) restricted \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `xelatex.fmt'! $ rpm -q texlive-xetex texlive-xetex-svn26330.0.9997.5-32.el7.noarch $ cat trivial.tex \documentclass{article} \title{Hello World!} \begin{document} \maketitle \end{document} This seems to be broken. How can I fix it? - Gergely

Monospace font in GNOME Classic and in Cinnamon -- CentOS 7
by Gergely Buday 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi there, I liked the terminal font in GNOME Classic but I want to switch to Cinnamon. fc-match said in GNOME that the Monospace font is Dejavu Sans Mono Book. I set that in Cinnamon but that appears quite different. How can I use the same terminal font in Cinnamon? How can I figure this out digging through font configuration files? - Gergely

Upgrade from CentOS 6.x to 7

Can I directly upgrade (update?) from my current 6.5 box to version 7? Or, must I wipe my drives and install from scratch? mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search

MariaDB repository
by Steven Stern 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

My C7 system has mariadb 5.5.37, installed from the Centos repository. The latest version (with a security update is 5.5.39). Mariadb.org has its own repositories, but they don't list Centos 7 as an option. Is anyone using the repository for Centos 6 with Centos 7? See https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=jmu&distro=CentO… -- -- Steve

CentOS6.5: disklessboot could not find ramdisk but CentOS6.2 :OK. CentOS6.5 has bug with dracut?
by yoshi.plala 10 Sep '14

Hi I have trouble with disklessclient with CentOS6.5 but 6.2. I have been using disklessclient from CentOS6.2 well. Both server and clients work with CentOS6.2. Recently I set up PXE boot server with CentOS6.5 and has trouble. I built vmlinuz and initrd.image in the same method I did for CentOS6.2 [root@pxe ~]# yum -y groupinstall "Base" "Server Platform" --installroot=/var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/root/ [root@pxe ~]# cp -f -R /root /var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/root/ [root@pxe ~]# chmod 600 /var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/root/etc/shadow [root@pxe ~]# grep ^root /etc/shadow | cut -d: -f2 $6$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [root@pxe ~]# vi /var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/root/etc/shadow # root: $6$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :14937:0:99999:7::: [root@pxe ~]# vi /var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/root/etc/fstab none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 [root@pxe ~]# cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 /var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/ [root@pxe ~]# dracut initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.img 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 [root@pxe ~]# mv initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.img /var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/ [root@pxe ~]# vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default # default centos6 label centos6 kernel centos6/vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 append initrd=centos6/initramfs-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64.img root=nfs:10.0.0.70:/var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/root rw selinux=0 Diskless client doesn't work and complains as belows at booting Loading centos6/vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 ........ ok Could not find ramdisk image: centos6/initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.img root=nfs:10.0.0.70:/var/lib/tftpboot/centos6/root rw selinux=0 boot: Then I replace initramfs-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64.img with initrd.img copied from /images/initrd.img found in CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso. It booted successfuly and displayed installition menu. I doubt dracut dosn't work well. Is there anyone could setup diskless client with CEntOS6.5?
