Plasma problem with numeric keypad
by Alessandro Baggi 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Hi list, I'm running CentOS 8.2 with Plasma from EPEL and I noticed that I have problem using numeric keypad of my keyboard when using plasma application like Konsole, Kcalc, Konqueror and all application of Plasma. Using Firefox, Thunderbird, xterm, Libreoffice all works as expected. So this problem is related to Plasma application. I noticed the same problem on sddm login. I noticed that to make the numeric keypad to work I need to press SHIFT+NUMKEY. I tried to manage Plasma keyboard configuration but nothing worked. I tried my keyboard on other PC and distro but the problem does not occour. I should try this using GNOME or XFCE but being a KDE user I would avoid to install the others. There is a way to solve this problem? Thank you in advance. Alessandro.

Conversion from Centos 5 to Centos 7 & mailx changes
by Gregory P. Ennis 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Everyone, I have just upgraded a Centos 5 server to a Centos 7 server and am having difficulty with a change of behavior of mailx with the use of a command line of : mail -s 'This is the subject' user(a)domain.com < text_file.txt On Centos 5 when mailx was used by a program started by a cron job we were able to send a text file as an email message and the headers did not contain 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' On Centos 7 the headers contain 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' and when the client gets the e-mail they are unable to open it up. The interesting thing is that on Centos 7 when the command line is used by typing the above command 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit' is placed in the header and the client can see the e-mail without a problem. I have looked for a way to control the 'Content-Transfer-Encoding:' header to '7bit' when we use a cron job, but I have not been able to figure out how. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, -- Greg Ennis

ansible: which repo?
by Leon Fauster 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

What would you recommend: ansible is in EPEL8 and ConfigSIG. For the latter I do not see any sources in git.centos.org. Where they come from? I wonder with which repository I should use (long term)? dnf not checking gpg signature sounds scary: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.9.13/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.9.r… -- Leon

Updating ca-certificates
by isdtor 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

This is probably a stupid question: what is the correct way to update certificates if one has installed additional certs with update-ca-trust and the distro releases a new version of ca-certificates?

Tracking or checking backported kernel patches from upstream
by Carlos A. Carnero Delgado 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi! I'm interested in finding out if a couple of upstream kernel patches were backported into CentOS (RHEL), in particular this one <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?…> and this one <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?…> . What's the procedure? After reading an article <https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/what-backporting-and-how-does-it-apply-rhel-…>, I went into Red Hat's bugzilla, and tried several search terms (including the kernel's commit ID) but found nothing. Thanks!

hi! I'm going to move soonand will lose this email address, so I'm going around all my various sbuscriptions changing the subscribed email address.

OPENVPN setup in CentOS-6 NetworkManager
by Janos G. Komaromi 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, I need some help. I have CentOS-6 installed on an older 32bit desktop. The command su -c "openvpn --config foo.ovpn" works well, but would like to do it from NetworkManager. (1) If I try to import foo.ovpn then the certificate file references are not populated. If I try to select files extracted from foo.ovpn then the Private key file cannot be selected and therefore setup is aborted. (2) If I create a .conf file with appropriate entries then NetworkManager imports it fully, including the .pem key file. However, connection is timed out, connection fails. I researched Internet, RFM, permissions, SElinux, messages, etc. to no avail, so I request support. Do I miss a component? Where can I examine the NetworkManager log? Why the .pem key file is not selectable? I try this mailing list first - and thank you. Janos -- Janos G. Komaromi sent it NOT from iPhone nor Google facebook, instagram, viber, snapchat, twitter, #@*~| etc. - neither of those https://jgklinux.jankom.net/
