Emacs problem
by Jason Ricles 25 Dec '14

25 Dec '14

I am currently running the latest kept yum version of emacs on Centos 6.6. The issues I am having is that sometimes when I type input, some of the input randomly disappears and will then reappear when I highlight where the missing input should be. Why might this annoying thing be happening, and is there a way to fix it? Also I have not made any edits to emacs preferences so they are set to the defaults, and never happened in Centos 6.5 but now does in 6.6.

Upgrading glibc on CentOS 7 to fix memory leak
by Casey Jordan 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi All, I am in a bit of a conundrum I hope someone could give me some advice. I have a CentOS 7 server which currently runs glibc version 2.17.x. That version contains a memory leak described and fixed here: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17370 Suffice to say, this memory leak is causing some serious issues and I have read that upgrading glibc without also upgrading the entire kernel is not recommended. I was hoping that this fix was back ported into CentOS 7 somewhere and maybe there is a quick fix I just don't know about? This is a production server so stability is a big concern, I can't be trying out any new experimental stuff ;) Thanks everyone! <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17370>-- -- Casey Jordan easyDITA a product of Jorsek LLC "CaseyDJordan" on LinkedIn, Twitter & Facebook (585) 348 7399 easydita.com This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

openvpn client and KDE Network Manager - with CentOS7
by CS DBA 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Hi All, I am switching from Fedora20 to CentOS7 since I now run all my Linux development in a VM and I get a more robust feature set (i.e. shared folders with the host that "just work", etc) The only issue I have thus far is VPN connections. Looking at what's installed on my old Fedora install I suspect I need these packages: kde-plasma-nm-vpnc kde-plasma-nm-openvpn NetworkManager-openvpn NetworkManager-vpnc However none of these are available in CentOS7, Note I have the centos extras and the EPEL repos enabled. I suspect that I need rpmfusion but I don't see that rpmfusion has a repo for CentOS7... Anyone have any thoughts? Can I simply install the centos6 rpmfusion repo? Thanks in advance

Changing LANG from de_DE to en_US in CentOS 6
by Alexander Farber 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

Hello, on a Macbook with OSX Yosemite (which prints de_DE.UTF-8 as value of $LANG in Terminal) and VmWare Fusion 7 I have installed CentOS 6.6 minimal. When I ssh to my new VM as root, the $LANG is de_DE.UTF-8 too. I would like it to be en_US.UTF-8 instead. I have grepped /etc and /root for "de_DE", but nothing is found there. Grepping for LANG in /etc gives many results, esp. /etc/sysconfig/i18n contains: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" So where does the change to de_DE happen and what is the best spot in CentOS 6 to set that to en_US.UTF-8 (I understand that I could set LANG in /root/.bash_profile but am looking for a better place to do that). Thank you Alex

You never mentioned if this is for a dom0 or domu, if it's a domu is it a pv or hvm domain and does it use pvgrub, pygrub or does it boot directly to a kernel on the dom0? Also paste the output of this command from the affected domain: rpm -q kernel kernel-xen Peter

I can't see some of my onwn e-mails ...
by Bill Maltby (C4B) 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

I sometimes receive e-mails I post to this list, like I did the bug I reported about X problems, but other times not, like my first post about that before I reported the bug. That one appeared in gmane, but Evolution never picked it up. And today I've not seen either of my posts but I know it got there because I did see a reply to my post about the flash plugin and it had a snippet of my post init. I've looked at all the seetings I can think of and nothing struck me as suppressing my own. I use gmail and ISTR a discussion recently about some issues with that. Anyone got a clue(bat) for me? Thanks, Bill

NTP Vulnerability?
by listmail 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

I just saw this: https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories/ICSA-14-353-01 which includes this: " A remote attacker can send a carefully crafted packet that can overflow a stack buffer and potentially allow malicious code to be executed with the privilege level of the ntpd process. All NTP4 releases before 4.2.8 are vulnerable." "This vulnerability is resolved with NTP-stable4.2.8 on December 19, 2014." I guess no one has had time to respond yet. Wonder if I should shut down my external NTP services as a precaution? --Bill

Asymmetric encryption for very large tar file
by Xinhuan Zheng 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hello CentOS list, I have a requirement that I need to use encryption technology to encrypt very large tar file on a daily basis. The tar file is over 250G size and those are data backup. Every night the server generated a 250G data backup and it¹s tar¹ed into one tarball file. I want to encrypt this big tarball file. So far I have tried two technologies with no success. 1) generating RSA 2048 public/private key pair via ³openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private.pem -out public.pem² command and uses the public key to encrypt the big tar file. The encryption command I used is "openssl smime -encrypt -aes256 -in backup.tar -binary -outform DEM -out backup.tar.ssl public.pem². The resulting backup.tar.ssl file is only 2G then encryption process stops there and refuse to do more. Cannot get around 2G. 2) generating GPG public/private key pair via ³gpg ‹gen-key² then encrypt with "gpg -e -u "backup" -r "backup² backup.tar². However, the gpg encryption stops at file size 50G and refuse to do more and the gpg process took over 48 hours. The server is very capable. It¹s 8 CPU Intel 2.33 GHz 16G RAM installing latest RHEL 5.11. Thought CentOS 5 is pretty much compatible in release with RHEL 5. I have searched google and found out a technique that utilizes the symmetric encryption. Then it needs to generate a symmetric key every day and uses public/private key pair to encrypt the symmetric key. However the drawback is that we don¹t know how to manage the symmetric key securely. We can¹t leave the un-encrypted symmetric key there on the server but we have to use the un-encrypted symmetric key for encryption process. Plus we¹ll need to manage the symmetric encryption key, public and private key pair 3 things securely. Has anyone had experience on managing the asymmetric encryption for very large file and what¹s the best practice for that? Thanks. - xinhuan

How to configure xguest Firefox home page
by David McGuffey 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

I've installed CentOS 6.6 on a workstation at a local non-profit as a kiosk machine. I used xguest. Works great, except now the customer wants the Firefox homepage to be one pointing to a particular site. Doesn't seem to be much documentation on how to make minor changes to the account. Lots of SELinux guidance, but nothing about default home page, etc. Dave

Re: [CentOS] Asymmetric encryption for very large tar file
by Xinhuan Zheng 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hello, Thanks for all feedback I got. I am pretty sure that if I used ³openssl enc² method, it is able to handle large file over 250g size perfectly. I think openssl installed on the system is capable of doing large file support. However, when using ³openssl smime², it is not able to. Apparently it¹s smime method limitations, not the openssl. Other than smime and enc, what other methods can I use for large file support that would use the asymmetric public/private keys? - xinhuan

One-time reboot into alternate kernel?
by tony＠softins.co.uk 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Apologies if this should be well-known, but I couldn't find anything! Situation: a system in a remote location, with no KVM, IPMI or iLO, and therefore no console access, only ssh. Multiple kernels listed in grub.conf. Is there a way to reboot temporarily into one of the other kernels listed in grub.conf, without changing the default= line, so that a subsequent reboot will default back to the original kernel? The problem I have is that having changed the default= line to select a kernel that doesn't boot properly, I need to have someone visit the console in order manually to select the working kernel again. I would like to avoid that situation if possible. Thanks, Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony(a)softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony(a)mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org

Dropbox on CentOS 6?

Hi, I just spent a couple of unnerving hours trying to make Dropbox work on CentOS 6.6. Is there a way that 1. Actually works? 2. Doesn't include jumping through burning loops?

selinux-policy update resets /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts?

Hi, On an internal webserver (latest C6) I want smb-access to /var/www/html/ In april I did chcon -R -t public_content_rw_t /var/www/html/ setsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write 1 setsebool -P allow_httpd_anon_write 1 echo "/var/www/html/ -- unconfined_u:object_r:public_content_rw_t:s0" >> /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts After the latest round of updates (including selinux-policy.noarch 0:3.7.19-260.el6_6.1 and selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 0:3.7.19-260.el6_6.1) samba-access to /var/www/html was denied. Applying the commands above re-enabled samba-access. Anyone knows how I can configure selinux to remeber this after an update to the policies? Thanks Patrick

Then follow the instructions. You will likely find it advisable to post your proposed custom se policy changes here first and get feedback about anything that is too broadly permissive. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

NVIDIA dropping support for older hardware (G8xxx, G9xxx and GT2xx chipsets)
by Ned Slider 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hi all, I just wanted to give a heads up to any NVIDIA users that NVIDIA are dropping support for older hardware based on G8xxx, G9xxx and GT2xx chipsets in their latest display drivers. The last version to support these older chipsets will be the current Long Lived 340.xx branch. If anyone is using NVIDIA driver packages from elrepo, legacy 340.xx driver packages are now available for those affected. There is a thread on the elrepo mailing list here: http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2014-September/002362.html http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2014-December/002447.html There is also an updated version of nvidia-detect (v343.36) available which will tell users if they are affected and need to switch to the new 340.xx legacy driver packages or whether their hardware will continue to be supported by future NVIDIA driver releases. Obviously we would like to avoid a situation where folks 'yum update' their drivers to a release that doesn't support their hardware and breaks their system. Thus we would like to help users who will be affected transition to the correct legacy driver now and so avoid future issues. If anyone needs any advice / help, please just ask.

Hi, > If you are using GRUB 0.97 (legacy GRUB), then this capability is > provided by the "default saved" and "fallback" commands. See sections > 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 in the manual: You should keep in mind that this may not save you from pressing the reset button if the system hangs at boot (as far as I understand). However, you are right that this is a mechanism to boot a fallback kernel if booting fails. best regards --- Michael Schumacher

Using a "compose key" on Centos6
by Fred Smith 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi all! I ran into a description of how to set up a compose key for F21 and decided to see if it would work on C6. Well, the right configuration dialog exists, and I can choose a key to use, but after completion, the compose key doesn't seem to work. It works like a charm on Centos-7, though. If I select Right Win as the compose key, typing <compose>ae results in "�" as I expect. but doing the same thing on Centos-6 gives me an unadorned "ae", not the ligature, but the individual characters. i.e., it doesn't do anything helpful. Since the keyboard setup dialog includes the options to define a compose key I'm going to assume it's supposed to work, and th at I'm just overlooking something. Anybody got any good suggestions? thanks! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message.

[OT} Odd tmux behaviour on exit
by James B. Byrne 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

CentOS-6.6 tmux-1.6 (epel) Twice now I have experienced the situation where upon exiting from a tmux initiated session on a remote host instead of returning to the originating session I see this in the session terminal display: <pre> ················································································ ·································<infinite>····································· . . . <infinite lines of dots> . . . ·································<infinite>····································· ················································································ <pre> If I resize the terminal window then the dots expand to fill the available display. The scroll-back is not affected. I am unable to regain control of that terminal session from within the session itself. Looking at the processes runnin on that host from a direct ssh session shows this: <pre> # ps -ef | grep ssh root 1502 1 0 Dec12 ? 00:00:06 /usr/sbin/sshd root 10798 1502 0 10:00 ? 00:00:09 sshd: root@pts/0 root 13015 10810 0 10:12 pts/1 00:00:08 ssh inet07 -t -Y tmux || /bin/bash root 13017 1502 0 10:12 ? 00:00:08 sshd: root@pts/2 root 15622 1502 0 10:45 ? 00:00:00 sshd: root root 16033 1502 1 10:47 ? 00:00:00 sshd: root@pts/3 root 16099 16038 3 10:48 pts/3 00:00:00 grep ssh [root@inet07 ~]# ps -ef | grep 10810 root 10810 10809 0 10:00 pts/1 00:00:00 -bash root 13015 10810 0 10:12 pts/1 00:00:08 ssh inet07 -t -Y tmux || /bin/bash root 16113 16038 0 10:48 pts/3 00:00:00 grep 10810 [root@inet07 ~]# ps -ef | grep 10809 root 10809 1 0 10:00 ? 00:00:03 tmux root 10810 10809 0 10:00 pts/1 00:00:00 -bash root 16115 16038 3 10:48 pts/3 00:00:00 grep 10809 </pre> pts/3 is the diect ssh connection. pts/1 appears to be the tmux session instigated from the ssh login pts/2. I am guessing that the problem is somewhere in the shutdown of pts/1. If I kill 13015 (pts/1) from the direct ssh connection then I return control of the tmux session back to the terminal and I remain logged on to the remote host. If I then exit the remote host I return to the original host as expected. Tmux is called from the original session using a function named sshtn as defined below: # declare -f sshta () { ssh "$*" -t -Y 'tmux a || tmux || /bin/bash' } sshtn () { ssh "$*" -t -Y 'tmux || /bin/bash' } Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this; and is there any way of preventing it? In this instance I had opened an X-Window application (gvim) in the remote tmux instance and had subsequently shut that down prior to exiting. Nonetheless, I am wondering if that has anything to do with the situation. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Pre-packaged Python 2.7 for 32-bit CentOS 6?
by Alfred von Campe 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Either this doesn’t exist or my Google-foo is failing me this morning. I keep coming across the Software Collections Repository (http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL) but that is for 64-bit only. Before I attempt to create Python-2.7 RPMs for 32-bit CentOS 6 to install into /usr/local or /opt/python-2.7, I wonder if someone else has done this so I don’t have to re-invent the wheel. Thanks, Alfred

If you are using GRUB 0.97 (legacy GRUB), then this capability is provided by the "default saved" and "fallback" commands.

need guidance on getting started...again
by Clayton Kirkwood 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello, It's been about 15 years since I've enjoyed working in the Unix space, and I am trying to reintegrate myself. A few things have changed in the intervening years. I've installed the first Centos6 iso without too much difficulty, but I am rusty on commands and such. It appears the install doesn't install mans so would somebody suggest a way to find and install them. It appears that there are several install package implementations. Which is the best to use? Any other helpful guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm going with Centos 6 because I only have a 32 bit machine, otherwise I'd be up on 7, I would think. Thanks, Clayton You can tell the caliber of a man by his gun--c. kirkwood

Error: libusb-1.0.so.0 is needed....
by ken 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Trying to install Canon printer driver package (rpm), I get a dependency error: libusb-1.0.so.0 is needed.... The version currently installed on my 5.9 system is libusb-0.1.12-6.el5 and, AFAIK (per yum), no upgrade to that is available. So question: Do higher centos versions have libusb-1.0.so ? (We could perform a quick inventory with: uname -r; rpm -q libusb Thanks.

Howto install Centos6/7 Comcast WA/OR
by david 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Has anyone managed to install a Centos6 or Centos7 in Washington or Orgegon, or anywhere else that Comcast has deployed the IPV6to4 routers. The router in question is a Xfinity DCP3939 Router with Wireless, and I'm trying to get a Centos system working behind that router (with a wired connection), and enable SSH access from outside. Does one have to enable both IPV6 and IPV4? Can I enable IPV6 after install, or do I have to restart the installation from scratch (it has Centos6 installed via an earlier IPV4 router). How does one configure the router so that its DHCP system awards a known address to that machine, and how to forward port 22? The extra problem is that I'm trying to advise the owner of this configuration remotely. Behind that same router he has a working Windows 7 machine, and I can use Team Viewer to view the router's configuration from "inside". Any assistance would be appreciated. Comcast is of no help.

Broadcom wireless card: installation script for Linux-STA driver
by Niki Kovacs 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop. The wireless card is only poorly supported in the default setup, so I decided to write an installation script for the Linux-STA driver, which works perfectly. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/6.x/broadcom-sta/broadcom-s… Grab the files: # git clone https://github.com/kikinovak/centos Run the script: # cd centos/6.x/broadcom-sta # broadcom-sta.sh Reboot and you're ready to go.

Remote Git vs. GNOME on CentOS 6.6: cannot open display
by Niki Kovacs 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Hi, I just installed a fresh CentOS 6.6 desktop. It's a client's machine, it is physically installed on a testbench in my office. Usually, when I perform installations, I start with the base system on the testbench, and once networking is configured, I SSH into it and then do all the fine-tuning remotely. My configuration files, scripts and HOWTOs are all stored in a Github repository. The problem I have with the default configuration of Git under CentOS is that GNOME "hijacks" Git's authentication process. Meaning whenever Git asks for credentials, this happens in a very ugly authentication window. But the real problem is in a remote session, where I can't use Git anymore. Here's what I get: [root@optiplex-330 ~]# git clone https://kikinovak@github.com/kikinovak/centos Initialized empty Git repository in /root/centos/.git/ (gnome-ssh-askpass:2440): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Anyone knows how to stop this annoying behavior? I'm typing these lines on a Slackware64 14.1 + KDE installation, and when I use Git on this machine, credentials are always asked for in the terminal itself, not in a GUI popup.

Centos 7 how to make second disk of RAID1 bootable
by Jeff Boyce 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Greetings - Ok, I have my CentOS 7 KVM host system installed and I want to be able to boot the system from either installed drive if one of them fails. My objective is to have the following layout for the two 3 TB disks. sda1 /boot/efi sda2 /boot sda3 RAID1 with sdb3 sdb1 /boot/efi sdb2 /boot sdb3 RAID1 with sda3 The system is installed and boots from sda[1,2] and md127 (sda3 and sdb3). sdb[1,2] were untouched during the installation, and had been partitioned as FAT32 prior to the installation exactly the same as sda[1,2] using GParted. A GPT partition table was added to both disks before partitioning. The current partition information for my two drives is: Disk /dev/sda: 5860533168 sectors, 2.7 TiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): 0C26A36C-3857-4E97-85CC-2D4E57F4015A Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 5860533134 Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries Total free space is 2925 sectors (1.4 MiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 1026047 500.0 MiB EF00 EFI System Partition 2 1026048 2050047 500.0 MiB 0700 3 2050048 5860532223 2.7 TiB FD00 Disk /dev/sdb: 5860533168 sectors, 2.7 TiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): A3F0F6C1-A395-4A24-8940-BDE803E5D073 Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 5860533134 Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries Total free space is 2925 sectors (1.4 MiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 1026047 500.0 MiB 0700 2 1026048 2050047 500.0 MiB 0700 3 2050048 5860532223 2.7 TiB FD00 sda1 and sda2 were reformatted during installation; with sda1 showing in GParted now as FAT16 and a boot flag, and sda2 showing as XFS without a boot flag. sdb[1,2] still show as FAT32 and have no files on them. What is the simplest and least error-prone way to make my second drive (sdb) bootable if the first drive (sda) were to fail? I have done a lot of Googling over the last few days to try and understand what needs to be done, and almost everything I find is outdated in that it does not reference using grub2, and does not reference UEFI booting. I am open to reading more how-to's if someone knows of a good one that I may have missed in the 50 plus guides I have looked at. I suspect that this is really not that difficult, but the detail that I need seems to be missing in what I have read. Any responses may cc me directly as I only get the daily digest. Thanks.
