HP laptops with CentOS 7?
by Sorin Srbu 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hello all, I'm looking into getting HP laptops for our department running CentOS 7. Last time I checked this was some five or so years ago, and when I look at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops, nothing much seems to have happened since. At that time, I had to give up CentOS on laptops, as both Wi-Fi and graphics wasn't too well supported with CentOS 5 and 6. Is the situation better now with CentOS 7? We're only allowed to buy the HP, Dell and Apple brands here at this university, so what I'm looking at is basically HP. Apple is not of interest because of their pricing. All our desktops and laptops are HP's running Windows 7 and 10, and they work fine. We do have some Dells, but only in the server area. Currently all our CentOS 6 and 7 workstations are custom built OEMs used for molecular modelling, but are now getting rather long in the tooth. I have a laptop at the office as a backup, running Ubuntu 16 LTS, as that was the only thing that found all the hardware properly at the time. However, I'd rather not go down that particular road for various reasons. The thing that interests me first and foremost is whether the latest CentOS 7 iteration will install right out of the box with all hardware properly detected, no manual compiling of drivers or jumping through hoops to _maybe_ getting stuff to work with eg a HP Elitebook 850 G4. Anybody care to chime in with a comment or hint on the laptop situation and-or their experiences? -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem # Box 574 # SE-75123 Uppsala # Sweden # # Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 # Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # O< ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # http://tinyurl.com/ascii-ribbon-campaign # # This message was not sent from an iProduct! # # Please consider the environment before printing this email. # Join the campaign at http://thinkBeforePrinting.org # # MotD follows: A father is a banker provided by nature.

CentOS 7 "Set Up Enterprise Login" after update and reboot
by Valeri Galtsev 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Dear Experts, Something went astray with one of my systems. Large number of updates were installed on it all at once at some point. Then after system was rebooted it does strange thing I haven't seen on other systems. The machine is set up to boot into graphic login ("runlevel 5" to say it using outdated language). But before giving login screen upon (re)boot it tries to walk you through set of screens similar to first login to newly created account. However, along that it forces to to "Set Up Enterprise Login", and there is no way to bypass that, or kill this thing to get graphic login screen. As of this moment I suspect that something went astray during big update. I'm not excluding system compromise, however as of this moment this seems unlikely, as this system while online is constantly watched for "system integrity" (i.e. all files that only root should be able to touch are monitored for their checksums, etc.) and I would be alerted earlier were anything wrong. Rolling back big update (using yum history) failed, I am going to restore all on the box to the state before that big update (and I also can just wipe the drive and reinstall the system). So I kind of have ways out. Still, if anyone can shed some light onto what could have happened, or what could have accidentally get changed, it would be really great. I can ssh to the box, and I can switch it to "runlevel 3" and back... Thanks in advance to everybody who will respond for your insights!

This only happened on one of three C-7/mate desktop machines. With "first boot" I went through the process, including setting up an account, that was added to wheel as a part of the process. I then logged out of that and was able to get into my regular account (via the gui) just fine. I removed that spurious account and cleaned things up, but ended up in "first boot" again the next time the machine was rebooted. So, I've now neutered that account, but left it in place and haven't run into "first boot" again. I haven't been able to figure out what caused this, yet.

Samba help
by david 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Folks I have a Centos7 system (SOFA) and want to install a Samba share named "STUFF" for the machines inside my home. All users in my home have read access to the share, but only one user "me" has write permission. The configuration below worked just fine when the Samba system was on Centos 6, but did not work under Centos 7. The client machine is Windows 10. I have changed all "private" information for this message. The Centos 7 machine is running with SELINUX disabled, and effectively without firewall. Windows network browsing finds the computer, but not the share. (it used to find the share with Centos 6). The server name is SOFA The share name is STUFF the Workgroup name is MYGROUP The Linux account is "melinux" The logon name from windows is "me" I have issued the command smbpass -a me <password-for-me> <password-for-me> smb.conf contains: --------------------------------------------- # Samba Configuration [global] dns proxy = no hosts allow = 192.168. 127. 10. localhost hosts deny = ALL log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 netbios name = SOFA printcap name = /dev/null printing = bsd security = user server string = Samba %v on sofa socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers winbind use default domain = no workgroup = MYGROUP [STUFF] browsable = yes case sensitive = no comment = STUFF on sofa create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0755 force user = melinux guest ok = yes path = /home/samba-share write list = melinux ---------------------------------------------- smbusers contains: ---------------------------------------------- melinux = me ---------------------------------------------- Where have I gone wrong?

run bash <filename> from cron
by Mark Haney 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

This might be a bit OT, but I've never had to do this before and what I've googled doesn't seem to be working. I have an ansible playbook that I'm working on that I want to run as a cronjob. One task I'm having trouble with is where I have a text file with lines like: rd.pl "blah blah" rd.pl "blah blah blah" This text file has to be 'executed' using 'bash filename.txt'. (Don't ask why, I'm working on code that isn't mine.) When I run the playbook in a console this bit works perfectly. However, when it's being run from cron, it dies with 'rd.pl: command not found'. My original thought is that cron's $PATH is missing the location to this rd.pl file (it's in /root/bin), so one suggestion from the Google was to add the path into /etc/crontab, but I'm still having the same problem. At this stage, I've no idea what to try next. Any ideas? For the record, this was the only option to handle the task I'm having issues with inside cron. -- Mark Haney Network Engineer at NeoNova 919-460-3330 option 1 mark.haney(a)neonova.net www.neonova.net

Strrange behavior of VirtualHosts in Apache (CentOS6)
by Walter H. 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, there is a short explanation about virtual hosts in Apache ... https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ApacheVhostDefault the `hostname` gives a different donmain name than what should be hosted ... e.g. `hostname` is host.example.org and the domain to be hosted is example.com, so I did this: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80> ServerName host.example.org DocumentRoot /var/www/default </VirtualHost> # used to get let's encrypt for the mail server <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80> ServerName mail.example.org ServerAlias smtp.example.org DocumentRoot /var/www/mail </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80> ServerName www.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/domain </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80> ServerAlias *.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/catchall </VirtualHost> the DocumentRoot directories are empty, only in /var/www/default I have a PHP script: host.php <?php header( "Content-type: text/plain" ); printf( "Host: '%s'\n", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ); ?> now the strange behavior; http://mail.example.org/ <-- works http://smtp.example.org/ <-- doen't work http://smtp.example.org/host.php <-- gives the HTTP_HOST (PHP-script), but why? http://www.example.com/ <-- works http://hello.example.com/ <-- doesn't work http://hello.example.com/host.php <-- gives the HTTP_HOST (PHP-script), but why? doesn't work does mean, that access/errors are logged in logfile of wrong virtual host ... where is my mistake; Thanks, Walter

Logitech Brio 4K Ultra HD Webcam - 960-001105
by Gregory P. Ennis 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Everyone, I was hoping to be able to plug the Logitech Brio in and have it work, but it did not. I can have it connect to a Windows 10 laptop and have it function, so I know the camera works. The Centos 7.4 is recognizing it when I plug in the usb 3.0 cable. The results of dmesg demonstrated : [ 4519.922257] input: Logitech BRIO as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:03:00.0/usb9/9-4/9- 4:1.4/input/input25 [ 4519.922402] hid-generic 0003:046D:085E.0009: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech BRIO] on usb-0000:03:00.0-4/input4 [ 4519.956452] usb 9-4: current rate 16000 is different from the runtime rate 48000 [ 4519.963948] usb 9-4: current rate 16000 is different from the runtime rate 48000 [ 4519.973798] usb 9-4: current rate 16000 is different from the runtime rate 48000 [ 4825.386775] usb 9-4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd [ 5079.321074] usb 9-4: USB disconnect, device number 7 I am not seeing any new device driver in /dev/ Testing the programs 'cheese', 'vlc', and 'ucview' did not identify the camera. I have used Logitech C922 webcams with Centos 7.4 which work just by plugging them in. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to make this 4K camera work on 7.4? Thanks for your help!!! Greg Ennis

VMWare Workstation 14 on CentOS 7?
by wwp 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Hello, did anybody succeed in installing/updating to VMWare Workstation 14.0.0-6661328 on an updated CentOS 7 (kernel 4.9.54-203.el7.centos.x86_64)? Here it fails at building vmmon/vmnet modules. I couldn't find anything about this on the Internet.. WS seems to get less popular and unfortunately reproduces the same inability to install upon kernel updates, that drives me nut for years now. Please don't suggest other VM sw, I'm stuck to VMWare WS at work.. Regards, -- wwp

slow libreoffice
by hw 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Hi, so what do I need to install to prevent libreoffice from being so slow that it becomes unusable? This issue has been there with Fedora years ago, and now there´s same issue with Centos. Back then, there was a package you could install to make it work at normal speeds, but last time I checked, this package doesn´t exist anymore. This issue is particular to the Fedora/Centos versions of libreoffice and does not occur with other builds like the one you can download from the libreoffice web site. I was trying to make a chart and it became so slow that it´s unusable. I guess scrolling is only fast enough because I have a powerful graphics card.

home on nfs
by hw 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Hi, I have the home directory of a user on an nfs server and mount it on a client. When the user logs in, they end up in the root directory rather than in their actual home directory and need to cd into it. The user can read and write to their home directory, so it kinda works fine --- but only kinda. When the user starts emacs, some of the settings in ~/.emacs are not applied, but the saved desktop is being loaded. Both machines are running Centos 7.4. What could be wrong with the nfs mount? -- "Didn't work" is an error.

CentOS 7 + NVidia Quadro 2000 graphic card

Hi, I'm currently trying to install CentOS 7 (desktop) on a Lenovo workstation with an NVidia Quadro 2000 graphical card. Normally I know my way around NVidia cards and how to configure them either using the ELRepo drivers or those downloaded from nvidia.com. I have written a corresponding article on my blog: https://blog.microlinux.fr/nvidia-centos/ But this time it looks like I have no luck. ELRepo's nvidia-detect utility detected the 'kmod-nvidia' driver, but installing it gave no result. No X. Then I tried a manual install, blacklisting nouveau, installing the necessary build tools, etc. The driver would build OK, but again, no luck, no X. Has anybody got this card to behave under RHEL/CentOS 7 ?

virt-install cannot mount virtio iso during installation
by Periko Support 11 Nov '17

11 Nov '17

Hi guys. I have seen, read and test to install a windows 7 vm under centos 6 and kvm. I have install windows under kvm a lot of times, but is my first time with virtio. I want to try virtio drives, I have install virtio from fedora repo, download the iso, etc. I have try different options trying to understand how kvm want the option to add my virtio iso drive as cdrom. virt-install --name virtio --description='Windows 7 Virtio x64' --memory 4096 --vcpus 2 --arch=x86_64 --cdrom /var/isos/win7_prox64.iso --os-variant win7 --disk /dev/vg_vms1/virtio,bus=virtio --disk /opt/virtio-win-0.1.141.iso,device=cdrom,bus=ide --network bridge=br0,model=e1000 --graphics vnc,listen=192.168.2.16,password=cocacaco --noautoconsole --check-cpu virt-install --name virtio --description='Windows 7 Virtio x64' --memory 4096 --vcpus 2 --arch=x86_64 --cdrom /var/isos/win7_prox64.iso --os-variant win7 --disk /dev/vg_vms1/virtio,bus=virtio --disk /opt/virtio-win-0.1.141.iso,device=cdrom --network bridge=br0,model=e1000 --graphics vnc,listen=192.168.2.16,password=cocacaco --noautoconsole --check-cpu virt-install --name virtio --description='Windows 7 Virtio x64' --memory 4096 --vcpus 2 --arch=x86_64 --cdrom /var/isos/win7_prox64.iso --os-variant win7 --disk /dev/vg_vms1/virtio,bus=virtio --disk path=/opt/virtio-win-0.1.141.iso,device=cdrom --network bridge=br0,model=e1000 --graphics vnc,listen=192.168.2.16,password=cocacaco --noautoconsole --check-cpu virt-install --name virtio --description='Windows 7 Virtio x64' --memory 4096 --vcpus 2 --arch=x86_64 --cdrom /var/isos/win7_prox64.iso --os-variant win7 --disk /dev/vg_vms1/virtio,bus=virtio --disk /opt/virtio-win-0.1.141.iso,device=cdrom,bus=ide --network bridge=br0,model=e1000 --graphics vnc,listen=192.168.2.16,password=cocacaco --noautoconsole --check-cpu etc etc. Once I remove my 2nd disk my installation goes well, but my object is to try virtio drives. Every time I try windows boot say : boot failed : could not read from CDROM(code 0004) Can some one point where is my error and fix my parameters, I will appreciated and ready to learn more, thanks for your time!!!

XFS quota usage mismatch on CentOS 6 ?
by James Pearson 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

We have a number of home directory servers running CentOS 6 exporting XFS file systems over NFSv3 We enable user quotas for all users - with a relatively small allocation to each user Every now and then, we get a user that has a quota mismatch - where they are (usually) over their quota, but their actual usage (via du) is significantly less This happens on any of the servers I suspect that the mismatch is probably due to file space being allocated on the server, but somehow not referenced by a file - may be by deleted files?, but lsof on the client doesn't show any suitable deleted files The 'problem' usually resolves itself in a day or so - although I have no idea how or why etc ... Has anyone seen an issue like this - or know of any XFS tools that could be run on the server to find and fix the missing quota allocation? Thanks James Pearson

Best laptop with NVIDIA graphics

Good afternoon, I've been using CentOS for many, many years. I'm looking for a good laptop with 4 cores that has an NVIDIA GPU with dedicated memory. I'd prefer a GTX 10** series but the older 9** series is fine. Any recommendations? Thanks! Jeff

Possibly [OT] ansible vmware inventory plugin
by Mark Haney 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

This might be OT, but it is CentOS related. I've been running Ansible on C7 for a handful of months now, and updated to 2.4 as soon as it was available. I've been building inventories by hand in that time (mostly due to the fact we had no actual documentation on the managed external customer servers). However, as we have a multiple VMware clusters, thought it might be time to tinker with dynamic inventories. The problem is that the vmware_inventory.py script didn't come with 2.4 in CentOS 7, even though it's in the stable branch. I'm curious, is this a deliberate omission on the CentOS maintainers part? I couldn't find a package that included it. Am I missing something obvious? -- Mark Haney Network Engineer at NeoNova 919-460-3330 option 1 mark.haney(a)neonova.net www.neonova.net

mariadb server memory usage
by hw 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi, is this ok for a database server, or do I need to turn the memory allowance down? The machine has 48GB and mariadb is allowed about 40. The machine is a dedicated database server. Mysql seems to go up to what top says is virtually allocated under some circumstances; I don´t know what mariadb does. I don´t want anything get killed because memory runs out. Swap should prevent that anyway, but perhaps I went a bit higher than I should? Usual advice is to use 80%, and there are probably reasons for that. Perhaps it´s better to allow for more disk cache? KiB Mem : 49449424 total, 291772 free, 45891836 used, 3265816 buff/cache KiB Swap: 16777212 total, 16742928 free, 34284 used. 2985816 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4138 mysql 20 0 48.908g 0.042t 14064 S 0.0 91.8 111:23.17 mysqld

yum update info output
by Thomas Roth 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi all, when I check for updates with yum, it gives me a list of packages, with some additional info, e.g. --> systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.1.x86_64 from @updates removed (updateinfo) --> systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.4.x86_64 from updates removed (updateinfo) yum info will tell me that I have 4.1 of this package installed, and that 4.4 is available - from the repo updates. What is the meaning of the "@" - it marks the older package? And why are all packages always "removed"? It would seem that both mentioned packages are still available... Regards, Thomas

Intermittently unresponsive mouse
by H 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

I am using the Mate desktop on CentOS 7 and have found that the mouse intermittently becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, typically no more than 3-5 seconds. I do not remember seeing that when I used the regular Gnome desktop on CentOS 6 but I could misremember. The machine is fast and uses a dual-monitor setup with the native nVidia graphics driver. Is this really to be expected? I thought this was not an issue on Linux or maybe I am engaging in wishful thinking...

How to encourage maintainers to update their software

How do I best encourage maintainers to update the software they are responsible for in various repositories? Akema Yagi made sure kmod-jfs for CentOS 7 was updated amazingly fast which is greatly appreciated. On the other hand, I have requested updates of some other software packages and have heard absolutely nothing in months...

lets talk abaut gstreamer 1.10.5, gstreamer-libav, ffmpeg, bluray and vlc
by Andreas Benzler 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

Hello guys, my playground this days with gstreamer resources can be found at: http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/gstreamer/ The best thing for centos I think to compile the given one by gstream libav: Has ffmpeg 3.2.5 not ffmpeg 2.8.13 what is the background for vlc. In principal it's possible to build ffmpeg 3.4. http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/gstreamer-ffmpeg3/ vlc 2.26 is only compatible with ffmpeg 2.8.xx release. Hopefully i get response from the gstreamer guys to get bluray running with gstream-libav. In the past it was possible with gstreamer 1.4.5. As a side node as always: Got problems with dvd on usb blurayplayer, but this is another storry and can not be fixed from the kernel side. Buffer problems. Blurays & DVD (builtin drive) are playing with vlc. Totem can play anything, exclude bluray. http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/media/ Another little problem is vlc 3.0 can only compiled with gcc 4.9 and upper. Has to be rearrange for static gcclib, no real dependency by installation. http://vault.centos.org/7.4.1708/sclo/Source/rh/devtoolset-3/ Not yet on my todo list. Why 4.9? No g++ binary break. Bluray taken from my libbluray1 rpm otherwise i brick gvfs (bluray 0.2.3). Recompiled test wise. Think about to write a mail to redhat. Yes I replace the complete gstreamer 1.10.4 with 1.10.5, because of minor update. The original package was gstreamer-libav-0.6. It was complete inpossible to play anything good in totem. What do you think ? Sincerely Andy PS: I'm tired. Please forget my bad english this days...

yum-cron

Hi, folks, Has anyone else seen the issue of having an excludes= in /etc/yum.conf, but yum-cron appears to be ignoring it? This may have been the case earlier this year, where it seemed to partly install a new kernel, then not done the post-install. I *think* that's what I'm seeing on a box with twin Tesla cards, with yum.conf: exclude=kernel* xorg* cuda* kmod* and yet cron.daily reports: /etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron: Failed to check for updates with the following error message: Failed to build transaction: kmod-nvidia-384.90-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64 requires nvidia-x11-drv = 384.90 nvidia-x11-drv-384.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 requires nvidia-kmod = 384.98 mark

how do I use CDC usb ports?
by Michael Hennebry 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

I want to use a USB CDC port. I was under the impression that they were not all that hard to use. 'Tain't going well for me. lsusb | grep ega tells me Bus 007 Device 007: ID 2341:0042 Arduino SA Mega 2560 R3 (CDC ACM) As root, cat-ing /dev/bus/usb/007/007 gives me garbage. As anyone else, I get a permission denied error. Usually, though not lately, a /dev/ttyS? shows up at about the same time as the .../007/* device. How, without continuously running as root, do I get access to CDC usb devices? I've tried making myself a member of dialout, but it doesn't seem to take. I've tried both lgroupmod -M hennebry dialout oIt doesn't seem to take.and usermod -a -G dialout hennebry . How do I tell which one I want? I'm guessing I can't use /dev/bus/... . How do I tell which /dev/ttyS? I want? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Comparing directories recursively
by H 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

What is the best tool to compare file hashes in two different drives/directories such as after copying a large number of files from one drive to another? I used cp -au to copy directories, not rsync, since it is between local disks. I found a mention of hashdeep on the 'net which means first running it against the first directory generating a file with checksums and then running it a second time against the second directory using this checksum file. Hashdeep, however, is not in the CentOS repository and, according to the 'net, is possibly no longer maintained.\ I also found md5deep which seems similar. Are there other tools for this automatic compare where I am really looking for a list of files that exist in only one place or where checksums do not match?

Re: [CentOS] C7.4 and sshd restart problem [SOLVED]
by Alessandro Baggi 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

Hi list, I solved the problem. Anyone had answered but I report the solution for similar problem. The problem was caused by an sshd.service under /etc/systemd/system/. This file was placed because upgrading from 7.2 to 7.3 I got problem with ssh startup and someone suggested to add pidfile directive in sshd.service to solve the problem. Updating from 7.3 to 7.4 I think that 2 files for sshd caused some conflict that kill my sshd. Removing the first file problem is solved. Thanks to all.

CentOS 6 P2V alternatives?
by Sorin Srbu 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Hello all, This week I've tested out a few ways to do a P2V on a rather ancient CentOS 6 server, in order to move it to a Hyper-V host. So far my tests have failed rather spectacularly. Initially I was set on doing a simple dd-routine, but was told that the server cannot be taken off-line as it's being used daily, so had to look for other solutions. The disk setup is currently as follows: Three 500 GB sata-disks, sda, sdb and sdc, are used to build a software raid called md0. No LVM's here. Sdd is a 120 GB drive, with partitions for boot, swap, home and /. No LVM's here either. The farthest I've gotten is with the Rear solution. http://relax-and-recover.org/ The backup goes well, but recovery for some reason fails to create initramfs with all the installed kernels, as well as failing with an error saying it cannot find /boot/grub, after which the recovery terminates. Virtualizing systems like this is kinda' new to me, having it done on Windows only, and I'm not really sure how to proceed when it's a CentOS system in question. The physical CentOS-server runs a few license managers and nfs-shares that server molecular modeling software, that are rather intricately set up (I inherited this server some fifteen years ago). Are there any easier ways to do a P2V at all? -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem # Box 574 # SE-75123 Uppsala # Sweden # # Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 # Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # O< ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # http://tinyurl.com/ascii-ribbon-campaign # # This message was not sent from an iProduct! # # Please consider the environment before printing this email. # Join the campaign at http://thinkBeforePrinting.org # # MotD follows: Spare yourself many hard falls; don't jump to conclusions

Incorrect characters in Chinese font
by H 04 Nov '17

04 Nov '17

I frequently exchange e-mails, read and write documents and visit Chinese websites although the language of my computer is English. As I was translating a Chinese document yesterday, I had three characters I was not able to translate and after much hair-pulling realized to my surprise that they may be incorrectly drawn in Centos 7. These very characters in the same document were drawn correctly on my Android phone... As none of the characters are uncommon, I am very surprised. Could this be a Unicode issue? How does one report this in CentOS? The usual bug tracker?

low end file server with h/w RAID - recommendations
by Gary Stainburn 04 Nov '17

04 Nov '17

I'm just about to build a new server and I'm looking for recommendations on what hardware to use. I'm happy with either a brand name, or building my own, but would like a hardware RAID controller to run a pair of disks as RAID1 that is actually compatible with and manageable through Linux. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Gary

modestly priced laptop for C7
by Fred Smith 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

I'm looking to replace my (old, creaky) netbook (Acer Aspire One D255e, a screaming dual core 1.6 GHz Atom, and a whole 2 gigs of RAM) with something faster but not too large. Sometimes (usually) the netbook is painfully slow. Something like a hi-res 14 (or 15) inch screen (full HD), minimum of 4 gigs RAM, HD of a half terabyte or bigger. I'd like to not have to go over 600-700 dollars, so I know my choices are somewhat limited if I want to avoid the 400-500 dollar windows 10 junk^H^H^H^Hsystems from BJs, etc. Something with a quad-core processor, and all hardware works with C7. I've glanced at Lenovo Thinkpads on amazon where there are several "factory refurbished" ones with similar specs to what I mention above in the $500-700 range, but I don't know if they're any good or not I'm open to suggestions from any/all of you! thanks in advance!

Kickstart ksdevice question
by Mark Haney 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

This should be easy to answer (I hope). We routinely kickstart boxes to use for managing our customers RADIUS/DHCP configurations (along with other things). We've had a C7 kickstart in place since I built one in May and are finally starting to roll it out for new installations. But, I'm curious as to what ksdevice= actually does. With the C6 we routinely used ksdevice=eth0 since we ship boxes with two NICs and knew interface 1 was always eth0. With C7 comes the interface naming convention changes and that's where questions have arisen about that option. It's been set as ksdevice=eno1 since I know these servers name the interfaces with the eno# convention (integrated dual-port). A coworker of mine insists on setting it ksdevice=enp2s0 which doesn't seem to work like it should (though, it could be a fault netinstall image, I'm not sure yet). In all honesty, we'd prefer to keep the eth# convention for C7 like C6. So, my question is, does setting ksdevice=eth0 dictate to the system the names of the interfaces? Is that just a name for the install process and the kickstart script assigns names? (We have the kickstart script setting them as eno1 and eno2, btw.) I've googled this to no end and haven't found a satisfactory answer. So, I'm hoping someone with more KS experience than I can explain it. -- Mark Haney Network Engineer at NeoNova 919-460-3330 option 1 mark.haney(a)neonova.net www.neonova.net

/usr/bin/x0vncserver large blocks on screen at times
by Jerry Geis 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

I use this vnc program to remote into my station. (C 7.4) When I do, about every 5 to 10 seconds a big solid block appears on my screen. About six inches long and 3 inches wide. it quickly then goes away. I use the realvnc.com viewer when I do this. Is there some setting that would help with this ? Jerry

anaconda not installing to sda?
by Christopher Wood 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

I'm having what appears at first glance to be a kickstart+anaconda issue on CentOS 7.4. As near as I can tell in the program.log in the anaconda environment, the partitioning instructions downloaded with the kickstart from cobbler appear to simply not be applied. Then /mnt/sysimage is not mounted, the logs are not copied to /mnt/sysimage/root and the installation stalls due to the anamon checking. (Also anaconda is trying to e2fsck /dev/loop devices which is puzzling.) If anybody has hints about what I would double-check or if you've resolved a similar issue I would be quite interested. More details: I see the same behaviour after cutting most items out of the cobbler kickstart template, however I confirm that /run/install/ks.cfg in the anaconda environment has the following: ignoredisk --only-use=sda zerombr bootloader --location=mbr clearpart --all part / --label="/" --fstype=ext4 --grow --asprimary program.log from the anaconda environment is here: https://gist.github.com/christopherwood/72f390d7e5788b9bc9e841d40c926895 The system does boot and install just fine from the CentOS 7.4 iso without being kickstarted. This is on vmware (esxi 6.0), I've tried with the paravirtual and lsi logic scsi controllers with the same result. I've tried different previously (CentOS 7.3) working cobbler profiles that do not work with 7.4 now. If I change the drive name (sda) to a ludicrous value anaconda simply errors, so at some level it's understanding about sda.

Repository with current FreeTDS?

Anyone know of a repository with the current - 1.0 - version of FreeTDS? The packaged version 0.91 from EPEL is considerably out of data. -- Meetings Coordinator, Michigan Association of Railroad Passengers 537 Shirley St NE Grand Rapids, MI 49503-1754 Phone: 616.581.8010 E-mail: awilliam(a)whitemice.org GPG#D95ED383 Web: http://www.marp.org
