"Untrusted application launcher (desktop launchers)"
by Robert Heller 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

I am having this problem on Ubuntu 18.04 -- I manage a batch of desktop machines with some convience desktop launchers, which gnome3 insists are "untrusted". With some general websearching reveals that this is a *GNome3* so-called "security" issue (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/commit/1630f5348) I found a thread on the CentOS Forums (I don't have an account there), where another sysadmin is strugling with this issue: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=65864&start=10 If anyone has come up with a script that can be dropped into ~/.config/autostart/ to "fix" this "feature" of gnome3 I would be interested in it. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller(a)deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services

update failure
by Emmett Culley 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

When I attempted to update a remote server via SSH last night the UPS on my local workstations failed, causing the SSH session to get dropped in the middle of the upgrade process. This morning I am not able to complete the update. When it failed when I tried to run it again thins morning I did the suggested things like "dnf clean all" and "rpm -rebuilddb", and I still get this after it downloads the packages again: Running transaction test The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/lib64/libz.so.1.2.7 from install of zlib-1.2.7-18.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package zlib-1.2.7-17.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.1.2.0 from install of pcre-8.32-17.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package pcre-8.32-15.el7_2.1.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libpcre16.so.0.2.0 from install of pcre-8.32-17.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package pcre-8.32-15.el7_2.1.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libpcre32.so.0.0.0 from install of pcre-8.32-17.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package pcre-8.32-15.el7_2.1.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libpcrecpp.so.0.0.0 from install of pcre-8.32-17.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package pcre-8.32-15.el7_2.1.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libpcreposix.so.0.0.1 from install of pcre-8.32-17.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package pcre-8.32-15.el7_2.1.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libform.so.5.9 from install of ncurses-libs-5.9-14.20130511.el7_4.x86_64 conflicts with file from package ncurses-libs-5.9-13.20130511.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libformw.so.5.9 from install of ncurses-libs-5.9-14.20130511.el7_4.x86_64 conflicts with file from package ncurses-libs-5.9-13.20130511.el7.x86_64 Plus many more lines of the same ilk. Then finally: Error Summary ------------- and nothing else. How can I clean this up? Note that it had been a couple of months since I'd last done the update process. This server is running three VM's and so I am a bit hesitant to make another move without some advice. Emmett

CentOS 7, KDE, Dolphin and MTP support
by Nicolas Kovacs 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

Hi, It looks like KDE's file manager Dolphin doesn't support MTP under CentOS 7. When I plug in an MTP device like my Nikon camera or an Android phone, Digikam shows its content OK, but Dolphin seems to ignore it. For now, my custom CentOS 7 + KDE desktop meets about 99 % of my needs. Now I've decided to tackle the remaining 1 %. Yesterday for example, I managed to correct the missing RAR support in the Ark archive manager, so I fetched the SRPM and rebuilt it to add RAR archive support, and it works perfectly now. I'd like to try something similar with Dolphin's MTP support, which seems to have been disabled. According to rpm -qif /usr/bin/dolphin, it's part of the kde-baseapps package. I fetched the SRPM and experimented with it, but apparently, enabling/disabling MTP does not happen here. So my question here: which package in KDE 4 is responsible for MTP support in Dolphin ?

Can't find SRPMS for CentOS
by Nicolas Kovacs 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hi, I have to rebuild a handful of CentOS packages for some extra functionality. So I setup a build environment in a virtual machine, and right now I'm trying to find the SRPMS. I enabled the repositories listed in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Sources.repo and then tried this: [microlinux@buildbox:~] $ yumdownloader --source ark Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities Enabling epel-source repository Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * nux-dextop: mirror.li.nux.ro 9238 packages excluded due to repository priority protections No source RPM found for ark-4.10.5-4.el7.x86_64 Nothing to download This happens with pretty much every package I try as an argument. What am I doing wrong?

mariadb: How to delete foreign key constraint from non-existing table?
by hwilmer 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hi, somehow phpmyadmin messed things up when I was trying to modify a table. The table disappeared, and now it's impossible to re-create it: MariaDB [time]> create table etikettend_metainfo (userID integer(6) unsigned, stationsnummer integer(4) unsigned, primary key (userID)); ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table `time`.`etikettend_metainfo` (errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed") MariaDB [time]> show tables like 'etikettend%'; +------------------------------+ | Tables_in_time (etikettend%) | +------------------------------+ | etikettend_etikettentypen | | etikettend_stationen | +------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.001 sec) Since the table has vanished, I'm finding myself unable to remove the key constraints, and trying to disable them was also unsuccessful. It is not necessary to recover the vanished table because it had just been created and was still empty anyway. But how do I fix this?

Re: [CentOS] UEFI and PXE

Thanks. This appears to be the case here. The machine is a Dell 11G server. I upgraded all the firmwares with dsu, BIOS was at latest already. After dsu, I upgraded the NIC option ROM with bootutil (I'm not using the builtin BRCM NICs, but an Intel X520-T2 card). That's all I can do on the hardware front. And it *still* shows the same behaviour. Moving tftp server it is then ...

Accessing Android phones on CentOS 7
by Nicolas Kovacs 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Hi, My standard Linux desktop is based on a personal blend of CentOS 7 with KDE 4.14 and various add-ons from third-party repositories like EPEL and Nux-Dextop. After a brief stint on OpenSUSE Leap 15.0, this is what I use on my workstation and on my laptop. And this is also what I install on my client's machines, just like I did in our local school's computer room. I'm currently busy sanding down a few remaining edges, and one thing that's left is accessing Android phones. On less conservative distros based on KDE Plasma 5, this is a no-brainer, since all you have to do is plug in the phone and then browse its content using Dolphin or some other file manager. Unfortunately this is not possible with the version of KDE shipping with CentOS 7. Any ideas for that?

Systemd, PHP-FPM, and /cgi-bin scripts
by Benjamin Smith 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

CentOS 7 server and Fedora 29 dev workstation, both with PHP 7.2, Apache 2.4, php-fpm, all updated. I have a web-based app I've been developing for some time, and recently the need to upload files of large size EG 1 GB or larger, has come up. So I wrote a /cgi-bin script that works, takes the input, and even runs the same application framework as the main application which normally works in php-fpm. (which also works in a shell script so it wasn't hard) So /path/to/ webroot/cgi-bin/upload.php works just fine running as a separate process as a cgi executable. Yay! But... php-fpm has its own "tmp" directory, something like /tmp/systemd- private-RANDOM-php-fpm.service-RANDOM/tmp that the cgi-bin has no access to. To be able to populate $_FILES in a way compatible with the rest of the framework, it appears that I need to be able to run the /cgi-bin in the same context as the php-fpm environment so files can be access across all the different parts of the web app. This includes related things like access to the $_SESSION data files, and so on. How do I even begin? Google searches are loaded with stuff like perl cgis having access to PHP data, PRE-SYSTEMD, and I find no apache directives (so far) that have been helpful. Any ideas?

Recommended PHP 7 source for Centos 7
by MRob 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

I know there's a couple third party repos offering PHP 7 for Centos. I prefer not to add too much third party that I don't have to and PHP 7 has been mainstream for some time now, I thought maybe it would be in EPEL by now. What is the most recommended and stable way to get an up to date PHP on Centos 7?
