CentOS 7 + KDE - default keyboard layout?
by Nicolas Kovacs 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with CentOS 7 and KDE 4.14, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised. This is one of the cleanest implementations of KDE I've ever seen, and with some tweaking (a lot, in fact) this can be turned into a highly functional desktop with all the bling and bells and whistles. But right now, I have some minor problems to solve. First things first. My system is installed in French, with a swiss french keyboard (fr_CH-latin1) as default. This works OK in console mode, but when KDE launches the first time, the default keyboard is US, and there's a french (fr-latin1) alternative configured. In my humble opinion, this looks like a minor bug, because the default keyboard should be the same as the one defined in the installer. Now I know this can be changed easily, but I'm planning to use this in a few production environments like our local school. Which would mean I have to log into every single account to switch the keyboard layout manually. Now I wonder if this can't be done by the way of a profile in /etc/skel. I've already created a custom user profile for my users, to be put in /etc/skel. I have a little script that puts all these in the right place: https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/tree/master/el7/kde If I create a few custom keyboard layouts in KDE (say french, swiss french and german), are these stored somewhere locally in ~/.kde/share? I searched around a bit, but couldn't find the place. Any suggestions?

Authconfig package fails verification using RPM
by Maheshwari, Shagun 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi, I tried executing the rpm -V command on the packages of the CentOS 7.2 ISO which I have created, the verification failed for some of them. Here is the log for 'authconfig' : Steps: 1. Execute command : rpm -V authconfig 2. Observe the output Expected Result: If there is no error, nothing should be displayed Actual Result: Verification fails with following error log: S.5....T.c /etc/sysconfig/authconfig -When I uninstalled the package and re-installed it using YUM, the verification for the same passed.- -When I executed the same command on the same package of CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1511.iso the verification failed. So, I concluded that the problem is not with my ISO as the same is failing for standard ISO also. Please provide info on what this -V option actually does, and why these verification is failing for even the standard rpms. Is that a flaw ???? Regards, Shagun

Sound restored
by j_post 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Passing on this information in case it may be useful to others. Some months ago I posted a message about my sound on CentOS 6.8 no longer working. I'd done considerable research on the net and found no useful information on the cause. The sound worked if I booted from a live DVD of CentOS 6.8, but not when I booted from the hard drive. Recently during a system update that included a new kernel there where some very interesting messages from yum about the problem but no information that helped with a solution. Someone else recently posted a message with the same output from yum. None of the suggestions helped with my computer though. Then, just on a whim, I logged in as root and the sound worked, but only if I logged in as root. Long story short: Copying the files in /root/.pulse to my home .pulse directory solved the problem. I now have sound! I have no idea how those files in ~/.pulse got changed. It would be interesting to know if anyone has any ideas. (And, no, I did not do any messing around with system configuration by any means, so that's not how the files got changed.) Jeff

The new mail host will be CentOS 7 based, so mailman will jump from version 2.1.12 to 2.1.15, and we'll have proper IPv6 connectivity, meaning AAAA records for mail.centos.org and lists.centos.org.

ACPI ERROR
by Alessandro Baggi 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hi list, I've installed C7 1511 (kernel 3.10.x) on a skylake mother board with i3-6100. I know about skylake problems. For the iGPU I've used i915.preliminary_support and ok. Some days ago, I get different strange error on this machine. When screensaver starts or when monitor will be in energy saving, if I try to get access to the system I get different strange behaviour and can't use my machine. To solve this, I've disabled monitor power saving from kde. Yesterday, I've powered off this machine through an ssh session an system won't shut down and get error like "shutdown was delayed for 120 seconds..." but I can't supply information about this last problem.

long delay when logging in
by Larry Martell 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

I have a CentOS 7 system and when I login with putty or ssh there is a long delay before I get the password prompt. I ran ssh -v and I found that it gets up to this: debug1: ssh_ecdsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received and then it sits there for 1-2 minutes and then this output blasts out: debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-keyex debug1: No valid Key exchange context debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information No Kerberos credentials available debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information No Kerberos credentials available debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information No Kerberos credentials available debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_ecdsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/motor/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug1: Next authentication method: password And then the password prompt comes out. This happens no matter which user is logging in. It only happens on the 1 system. I have 5 others where the proceeds without the delay. There are no disk or memory or any other errors in the logs. What could be causing it to delay like this?

Need help getting two NICs to work on CentOS 7
by Sean Son 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Hello all Here is the scenario: We have a mail server VM which currently has two virtual NICs attached to it. One NIC is has an IP on a subnet with a default gateway defined and the other NIC has an IP on a different subnet with a different gateway on a different VLAN defined. Now when I activate both NICs, and run an ifconfig -a, I see that both IP addresses are showing. Now here is the problem. When I ping the VM, the first NIC's IP is not pingable at all, but the second NIC's IP is pingable. How do I configure the networking so that both IPs are pingable and the VM is reachable via both IPs? Please let me know what I may be doing wrong! Thank you! Sean

[offtopic] JavaScript and ServiceWorkers in FireFox
by Alice Wonder 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

This is a bit off-topic but the question exists due to the FireFox in CentOS 7. Few websites I have visited (e.g. LiveScience.com) the browser asks me if it can give me notifications. I always say no because of bad experiencies with notifications on Android where notification spam is the largest reason why I dislike the Android operating system (screwed up update system is the second reason, I'm a tree hugging save the planet hippie so I don't buy a new phone every two weeks but instead wait until mine breaks, so its often weeks or months before I actually get updates that exist) Anyway I have never allowed a website to send me notifications but I now have use to make notifications available to users on one of my sites if they opt in. Looking into how they are done, it seems to involve serviceWorkers which I have heard about but never used myself. Going through a simple tutorial I created this function: function registerWorker() { "use strict"; if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) { window.alert('Hello World'); } else { window.alert('no joy'); } } obviously not finished as it doesn't register anything, but it kept telling me "no joy" in CentOS FireFox. After a little research I found that FireFox 45 ESR has serviceWorkers but they are disabled by default. I had to go to about:config and find the line dom.serviceWorkers.enabled and change it from False to True But then it dawned on me, if they are not enabled, then how are other sites asking me if I want to allow notifications from the site? Are they asking me before they have detected whether or not my browser supports it, or is there a different mechanism for notifications that doesn't involve Service Workers? Does anybody know? -=- Basically my use is an audio site, there's not much reason to visit the site if the user has all the audios they are interested in, and we don't do e-mail notifications for privacy reasons. Would like to be able to notify users who opt-in that new audios are available from performers they are interested in if they opt-in to notifications *without* needing their e-mail address. It looks like serviceWorkers are needed for that, but it puzzles me that other sites (more than just liveScience) have offered me notifications when the FireFox in CentOS by default has the API disabled, so I'm wondering if there is a different API I just do not know about?

httpd-filesystem in 7.3 ??
by Alice Wonder 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

Does anyone know if the Apache httpd in CentOS 7.3 rebase is going to use the httpd-filesystem that Fedora is now using? I understand it has some advantages to some people with how PHP is run. I'm not advocating for it I just would like to know as I maintain a LibreSSL LAMP stack and need to know if I need to look at the Fedora packaging to update my own packaging so I can remain as close to 7.3 style as reasonably possible.

How do I default to "Folder View" in my custom KDE user profile?
by Nicolas Kovacs 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

Hi, I'm currently busy tweaking KDE 4.14 on CentOS 7 to my needs. I want to use it as a base for an enterprise class desktop. In my humble opinion, CentOS' default KDE configuration is not very usable, so I created a default user profile that looks more like what openSUSE looked like a few years back. Here's the little script I'm using to install the various configuration files and stubs in the relevant places: https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/el7/scripts/05-installer-pr… And here are the files that are harmed during the process: :) https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/tree/master/el7/kde What I did basically was to modify the panel's size, add a handful of default application launchers to the panel and to the kickoff menu, define Firefox and Thunderbird as default applications, default to double-click instead of single-click, define a set of defaults for the window manager, tweak a few things for Dolphin and Konsole, and add a nice custom wallpaper. The result is a sober-looking KDE desktop fit for use in a production environment. One thing I can't seem to define is a default "folder view" for the desktop. Instead of the plasmoids on the desktop introduced with KDE4, I'd like my environment to behave like a "classic" desktop with folders and files on the desktop, and where a right click can - for example - create a folder. My KDE is in french, but if I remember correctly, this setup is called "Folder View" in english. Question: how can I define this behavior as default? Which file or stub do I have to put in /etc/skel so a newly created user's KDE defaults to "Folder View"?

clamd@amavisd fails under systemd
by Rob Kampen 12 Nov '16

12 Nov '16

Trying to set up a mail server under CentOS7 - having done this with CentOS5 and CentOS6 over the last decade with no issues and reliable service, it was time to upgrade (?) to CentOS7. Shouldn't be a problem, right? Getting to grips with systemd has been challenging - to say the least. So a brief overview of what I am trying to set up: postfix / amavisd-new / spamassassin / clamav so we can receive mail and deal with the major rubbish that gets thrown at any open port 25 smtp service. no problems installing each of the above and their configuration files. Just as an aside, there are many recipes for this combo of packages - none of which work as advertised. There was a time when one could safely follow a how-to guide and have things working - I have regularly used the CentOS wiki guides - however they have become stale and what worked fine for 5 & 6 DO NOT WORK for CentOS7 - mainly due to systemd and firewalld So we have: systemctl status postfix.service ● postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2016-10-26 18:13:25 EDT; 1 weeks 5 days ago Main PID: 2762 (master) CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service ├─ 2762 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -w ├─ 2782 qmgr -l -t unix -u └─25274 pickup -l -t unix -u systemctl status spamassassin.service ● spamassassin.service - Spamassassin daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/spamassassin.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-11-08 05:18:04 EST; 50min ago Process: 27412 ExecStart=/usr/bin/spamd --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid $SPAMDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 27410 ExecStartPre=/sbin/portrelease spamd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 27417 (/usr/bin/spamd ) CGroup: /system.slice/spamassassin.service ├─27417 /usr/bin/spamd --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid -d -c -m5 -H ├─27418 spamd child └─27419 spamd child systemctl status amavisd.service ● amavisd.service - Amavisd-new is an interface between MTA and content checkers.

I can run the clamd service manually just fine and everything works - i.e. /usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf –nofork=yes returns a functioning service - thus my config files must be okay but try it with systemd and you hit a brick wall - nothing in any logs to give me a clue why it comes up and then closes down After many days of google chasing, I have found a number of folk hitting the same issue, yet none of these have posted anything resembling a solution, most have had other issues that were in error. If there is anyone that has this combo of services working under CentOS7 and can shed any insight on why I cannot get this service to actually run, it would be very much appreciated. TIA Rob

ldns-dane

This is an epel package but I thought that I would ask here first. I am encountering unexpected behaviour from this program and I would like to know if it is a bug, or I am configuring something wrong, of if this is intended behaviour. ldns-dane version 1.6.16 (ldns version 1.6.16) When I attempt to specify the entire certificate as the desired data source for this program I get the following error: ldns-dane \ -n -o 0 \ -c CA_HLL_ROOT_2016.pem \ create harte-lyne.ca 443 \ 2 0 2 <selector> should be in range [0-1] Likewise I cannot specify the output format as no-hash. ldns-dane \ -n -o 0 \ -c CA_HLL_ROOT_2016.pem \ create harte-lyne.ca 443 \ 2 1 0 <matching type> should be in range [0-2] In fact, 0 is not an accepted value in any of these positions: ldns-dane \ -n -o 0 \ -c CA_HLL_ROOT_2016.pem \ create harte-lyne.ca 443 \ 0 1 1 <certificate usage> should be in range [0-3] Why is zero invalid? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

Trouble setting up HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer on CentOS 7 + KDE
by Nicolas Kovacs 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi, I just installed a CentOS 7 + KDE desktop in my office's network. So far, I'm quite happy with the results, though I have some trouble getting the printer to work. All the other machines in my office (server, desktops, workstation) are running Slackware64 14.1 or 14.2, and they can all use the printer perfectly. I installed hplip-gui and ran it. The printer is a network printer, it has a static IP in the network and can also be addressed by its hostname. [kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ host hp-officejet hp-officejet.microlinux.lan has address 192.168.2.252 When I run hp-setup with the default options, the setup program "sees" the printer, but informs me that there is a "communication problem". I figure this is because the default seach method is mDNS/Bonjour. I tried again with the SLP option, and this time the setup procedure went OK. Or it seemed so, as the test page was blank. Now what? A few details about my system: SELinux, IPv6 and firewall are disabled. CUPS is running OK. I checked on the HP website that this printer requires HPLIP 3.11.10 or greater, which seems OK, since the HPLIP version shipping with CentOS is 3.13.something.

Relocation of logfiles in logwatch
by adrian＠pa0rda.nl 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi, I try to teach logwatch that some of my logfiles are relocated. E.g., mail mailog now lives in mail/info and secure has moved too auth/info. I adjusted /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/SERVICE.conf accordingly but logwatch does not understand. What is the right way to adapt logwatch to the new reality?

hi everyone before I subscribe to yet another @list I was hoping a centosian here has some experience and know the answer - I've started googling but have to failed - glusterfs does not translate local FS (xfs) quotas and presents them to its clients, does it? It is only glusterfs own quota functions that we have to manage quoatas? many thanks. L.

I believe that the issue is that yahoo updated their dmarc record a bit ago, so now won't accept mail, from 3rd-parties, that has an @yahoo... "mailfrom", as yours do on this list. If the non-@yahoo mailing sender doesn't do what's necessary to deal with enforced dmarc, and your mail provider enforces dmarc, you won't see messages from @yahoo correspondents -- which is likely why you aren't seeing your own list messages. Additionally if a mailing list has enough @yahoo posters, this can generate sufficient bounces to get you kicked off the mailing list on a regular basis. There are various ways for mailers/mailing lists to deal with the enforced dmarc. My understanding is that with Mailman, which this list uses, one has to upgrade to -3. Email service providers can't send to/from Yahoo Mail addresses Questions about our DMARC policy Why are my emails bouncing? We've updated the DMARC record with "p=reject" for multiple Yahoo domains. This means all DMARC compliant mail receivers (including Yahoo, Hotmail, and Gmail) are now bouncing emails sent as "@yahoo.com" addresses that aren't sent through Yahoo servers. Any messages without a proper Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) signature or Sender Policy Framework (SPF) alignment will be rejected. <https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN24016.html> <https://yahoomail.tumblr.com/post/82426900353/yahoo-dmarc-policy-change-wha…>

In one of the Yahoo articles I referred to earlier they indicate that Hotmail and Gmail (in addition to themselves) enforce DMARC. My mail provider (Rackspace) does now too so I get dropped off various lists (including this one the other day) every few days. The issue is in how the mailing list sends out messages. If they are addressed as if they come from an @yahoo address (e.g,. the original poster), but not from an authorized yahoo mail server, any mail server enforcing (in this case yahoo's) DMARC will reject the message. After enough bounces the mailing list will drop you (with or without notice). Short of getting your mailing list mail via a provider that doesn't enforce DMARC this week, there's nothing an end-user can really do. >From some lists that I'm on that are handling this, it appears that mailman 2.1.18 can (or can be made to) deal with the addressing so that things pass the DMARC test. This list appears to use 2.1.12.

Lost Wifi device after update/reboot
by Johannes Haas 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

After updating and rebooting my laptop, I seem to have lost my wifi device. Since it still is physically intact (everything works when I boot a live system from USB) I have the suspicion that something went wrong on the CentOS side. Also, ,my password prompt after booting (system is encrypted) now appears to see an US keyboard layout, instead of the German layout it should have, so it seems like there is indeed something wrong/changed with my system. Apparently there used to be some issues with older versions where the system simply forgot the "NetworkManager-wifi " package, but according to "rpm -q" I still have that. "rfkill list" does not list my wifi card, whereas "lspci | grep Network" seems OK: "04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59)" So, is it "simply" an issue with with CentOS, or did I do something wrong without realizing it?

hi everyone any experience with ctdb? I'm setting up a simple cluster, only ldap backend instead of tdb2. One (of the two) server fails this way: 50.samba: ERROR: smb.conf cache create failed $ ctdb status Number of nodes:2 pnn:0 10.5.6.32 OK pnn:1 10.5.6.49 UNHEALTHY (THIS NODE) Generation:323266562 Size:2 hash:0 lmaster:0 hash:1 lmaster:1 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0) Recovery master:0 If I copy the file manually while ctdb is running I see: 50.samba: WARNING: smb.conf cache update failed - using old cache file Node became HEALTHY.

Why is that one box unable to create that cache file? Would you care to make some sense out of it for me please? thx L.

How to start a script to complete configuration
by Bernard Fay 09 Nov '16

Hi, We have a virtual environment based on XenServer. In this environment I defined a template for CentOS 7 servers. I would like to start a script a boot time to complete the configuration of new VMs based on this template. How can I have a script started before any login prompt to ask question to the user to complete the configuration such as hostname, IP address, etc? Thanks, Bernard

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6.3 packages updates options without upgrading.
by Dipal Bhatt 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi, Thanks for your responses. Unfortunately, there's not possibility in this specific situation to be able to update from 6.3 -> 6.8. But, it would be nice to be able to update specific packages to latest that's available in 6.8 repo at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/ For example, nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.i686.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.…> 2016-05-12 10:48 67K nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-3.21.0-2.el6.…> 2016-05-12 10:47 67K nss-util-devel-3.21.0-2.el6.i686.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-devel-3.21.0-…> 2016-05-12 10:48 69K nss-util-devel-3.21.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/nss-util-devel-3.21.0-…> 2016-05-12 10:48 69K Simply updating these packages on 6.3, would there be any issues w/o updating rest of the packages from 6.3 to 6.8? As I mentioned, 'yum update' or updating to latest 6.8 packages from 6.3 is not currently plausible or even feasible for some reason. Or, please suggest any other options to be able to update such packages w/o updating rest of the userland on 6.3? Thank again very much.

CentOS 6.3 packages updates options without upgrading.
by Dipal Bhatt 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi, IT seems, centos6.3 does no longer get any updates esp security fixes as per readme here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/readme Is there updated source RPMs that can be rebuilt and hand patched, for example, nss-util 3.21.0-2 or openssl 1.0.1e that can be safely used on CentOS 6.3? Any other options that you can shed some light on, highly appreciated for above examples. My apologies if this is not the right group to post such questions or if any existing literature available for same, please kindly refer to right place. The other option is to use CentOS 6.8 updated package on 6.3, but I am not sure of any upstream and downstream dependencies in 6.3 without updating the rest of the userland from 6.3 to 6.8. Nonetheless, would this option be feasible? Appreciated very much, Thank you.

Proxy server settings
by paul.greene.va 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

Hello All, I'm sure this must be a fairly quick and easy configuration, but I have not been able to figure it out yet. How do you configure the proxy settings in the OS itself (not in a browser or other application) so that anytime the server tries to get out to the internet, that it can direct its traffic to go through a proxy server? I tried putting the proxy settings in .bash_profile per a tech article I found online but that did not work. The OS is Redhat 7.2. Thanks, Paul Greene

FireFox and Plugins
by Alice Wonder 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

While doing a browser fingerprinting survey, I was quite surprised to see I actually have a FireFox plugin installed. The culprit is /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so It appears that whoever maintains the rhythmbox RPM has chosen not to package the browser plugin separately like it probably should be. So if I have the rhythmbox RPM installed, I have the plugin. This is rather worrisome because I can find no trace of the plugin in the Mozilla preferences panel, so if it is there it is very well hidden and if it really isn't there, it can't be disabled there. Is there some kind of blacklist file I can put in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ or ~/.mozilla/plugins/ to specifically tell FireFox not to load that plugin, or do I have to uninstall rhythmbox? Thank you for suggestions. PS does anyone actually have a real world use for an itms detection plugin?

RHEL 7.3 released
by James Hogarth 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

As a heads up RHEL 7.3 is released: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/ht… Pay careful attention when the CR repo starts churning out RPMs (if you have CR enabled) as there have been a few rebases in this - notably firewalld, NetworkManager, freeIPA, libreoffice, samba, amongst others If you have an ipv6 environment ping is now ipv6 aware and ping6 is removed (with a symlink to ping for compatibility). On the SSL side of things pycurl now handles TLS 1.1 and 1.2 and openJDK8 can handle ECC. With the NetworkManager rebase more complicated arbitrary layering of interfaces is possible (eg physical -> team -> vlan -> bridge), which I'll be revisiting my old NM article to investigate soon, and Wi-Fi scanning will use a randomised MAC ... this may affect some people. For a known BSSID the connect won't be a randomised MAC though just when scanning. The firewalld zones become a bit more usable with ipsets being usable to define the zone making management of which networks go in which zones a bit nicer - I'll be revisiting my old firewalld article to investigate this too. The deprecation of the old net-tools suite continues with bridge-utils no longer required in many circumstances as iproute2 gets improved bridge capabilties... this brings EL7 inline with the Fedora behaviour: https://fedoramagazine.org/build-network-bridge-fedora/ On the network side of things be aware of a potentially breaking change to systems in how device names are created, this will only affect systems that have exceptionally long device names: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/ht… For fresh installs using automatic partitioning the default /boot size has been bumped to 1G ... for kickstarts and other automated installs you may want to tweak your setups to match. The NSS bug that caused problems with reusing SSL sessions and was breaking owncloud setups has been resolved - I have not tested this yet and will be doing so this weekend. The impending owncloud 9.1.1 EL7 release in EPEL7 will be removing my workaround and require this for full correct functionality. In the tech preview world nftables joins the testing group (I'll have articles up exploring this new firewalling method in the coming weeks) for networking. Whilst with storage overlayfs and btrfs remain in tech preview status - with cephfs joining them... as notable pieces. There's also new pNFS stuff. This is only a small snippet of things that jumped out relevant to me personally. As always make sure you read through the release notes in full. to be ready once CentOS starts producing the RPMs, and keep in mind this early in the lifecycle there are a fair few rebases and new features implemented that should be tested... unlike later on in the lifecycles (eg EL6) where no/minimal rebasing happens and changes at a feature level don't happen.

Keyboard layout on remote, local, ... CentOS 6; strange behaviour
by Walter H. 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Hello, I did the following: in /boot/grub/menu.lst I added/replaced KEYTABLE=us-acentos in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard I have this: KEYTABLE="us-acentos" MODEL="pc105" LAYOUT="us" KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" VARIANT="intl" my host system is Windows; and for connecting to Linux terminal I use PuTTY in Windows I have configured German keyboard layout; what would someone expect, when using PuTTY to connect to the above configured CentOS 6 I thought that there I have the US intl layout; but its German; when I switch the keyboard layout in Windows to US intl. and connect to a CentOS 6, where the following is configured in /boot/grub/menu.lst KEYTABLE=de-latin1-nodeadkeys and in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard this: KEYTABLE="de-latin1-nodeadkeys" MODEL="pc105" LAYOUT="de" KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" VARIANT="nodeadkeys" here I thought I have German keyboard layout, but it isn't; it's US in short: why do I have the keyboard layout, which is configured at the host running PuTTY and not which is configured in CentOS? when I log into the Linux directly at the console, I do have the configured keyboard layout; Thanks, Walter

dnf and failing epel
by lejeczek 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

hi everyone, I use dnf but one epel fails in a peculiar way: $ dnf repolist Failed to open: /var/cache/dnf/x86_64/7/x86_64/7/epel/repodata/8415cbb16f52517f34e3edac12a97c9893117f7b9de6cb22fc086048febd1c60-updateinfo.xml.bz2. that file is there, so I tampered with perms & fcontext but to no avail. dnf clean does remove it but on the first contact to epel repo it fails again. Do you see it with your centoses? ps. I wonder if my email get though to the group, I receive mailing list emails but I don't get my own emails? b.w. L

I'd love to hear how's CentOS 7 support for E7470 hardware. Hi Milos, The Thinkpad T series and Latitude are *very* similar computers. They are both business "ultrabooks" with a 1600x1080 display option, nice keyboards (not "chicklet" style), a trackpoint and trackpad and RJ-45 builtin. I bought a Dell Latitude E7470 over the Lenovo for several reasons. One is this comment which is worth mentioning again: On Fri, Sep 30, 2016 at 11:58 PM, Gordon Messmer <gordon.messmer(a)gmail.com> wrote: > It's worth mentioning again that Dell is one of the companies doing the > development for the bits that don't work, and that those drivers are often > the ones that get Lenovo equipment going, too. Lenovo does not, to the best > of my knowledge, do any Linux development. Another reason is that I have heard about people having problems with Lenovo. Not just with software but with hardware malfunctions. I spoke to someone on the phone that had hardware problems with their new Thinkpad (although I suspect some of the problems could have been misdiagnosis by the user). After describing how nice the E7470 they're thinking about dumping their 1yo X250 and getting a Dell. As for the Carbon, that is a very different computer. The Carbon is an ultralight / thin Macbook-like machine with Windows so I have no advice for you there. I have not tried CentOS on the E7470 but I'm quite certain it would not work because I have tried the latest Fedora Live which is about 100 kernel revisions newer and even that doesn't completely work. Specifically, if I plug in an external display it freezes. My feeling is I need a newer display driver (and thus newer kernel). The only other issue I noticed was that wireless didn't work but it seems more like a glue issue and not necessarily a driver. Otherwise, suspend and everything else worked near as I can tell which is actually pretty impressive for a brand new machine. So, I am doing other things while this new E7470 ages like a fine wine. Or maybe I'll loose patience and just install Fedora and try a "vanilla" kernel package. Then maybe after a year or two CentOS 8 or whatever will run on it and then I can just run steady for 4+ years without getting pummeled by stupid updates and feature creep that you get with Fedora and Ubuntu or whatever the latest hot distro is. The E7470 is obviously a laptop of choice for business people. And that is the type of machine developers use. So chances of good compatibility are very high. You just have to give it time. I was watching Daredevil season 1 and they use Latitudes that look exactly like mine. And that was probably filmed in 2014. So the form factor at least has been around for a while which is good. Unfortunately I can't say the same thing about the show. Mike

CentOS repo issue

Disable calendar notification in GNOME / CentOS 7 ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, Here's one of the problems adressed in a previous thread, but it got somehow swept away in the heat of the discussion. Since I'm using Thunderbird and not Evolution, I'd like to get rid of the calendar notifications in GNOME's system menu. Ideally, things should work like this: https://extensions.gnome.org/static/extension-data/screenshots/screenshot_1… There's an extension called "Nothing To Do" which is supposed to do exactly that, e. g. get rid of the calendar notifications: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/153/nothingtodo/ Unfortunately there seems to be no way to use it with the GNOME version shipping with CentOS. I spent a couple hours jumping through various burning loops, without success. Any idea how this could be done?

Thunderbird vs. Evolution vs. OwnCloud
by Nicolas Kovacs 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, I'm currently using Thunderbird synced to OwnCloud on my main workstation running Slackware64 14.1. I just installed CentOS 7 on my Asus S300 laptop. It's running nicely, and I'm spending some time getting acquainted with it. I wonder if I should stick with Thunderbird or go with the default Evolution application, since this seems to be better integrated into the desktop, namely the calendar function. On the other hand, it seems like you have to jump through burning loops to connect Evolution to OwnCloud. What are your experiences with these two clients and OwnCloud? Any suggestions?
