Gantt chart software for CentOS 7 ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hi, I'm looking for a Gantt chart software that I can install easily on CentOS 7. I prefer EPEL - or some other third party repo - packages than some obscure installation script for home directories. Any suggestions ?

I have elrepo installed. rpm -qa | grep elrepo gives elrepo-release-7.0.3.el7.elrepo.noarch nvidia detect (which installed) tells me kmod-nvidia-340xx when I do yum install kmod-nvidia-340xx it is saying no package kmod-nvidia-340xx available ? What did I miss? Thanks, Jerry

Testing software on CentOS 7
by H 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

I need to test a new version of Geany but already have the repo version installed on all my systems. In order not to foul up my current installation, what is the suggested procedure for installing and testing this new version? I tried installing in a docker container which of course went fine but could not run it from there. Suggestions appreciated, thank you.

konqueror vs. centos and mathematics
by Michael Hennebry 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

I'm running centos 7. Firefox spends so much time in th D state that I am trying konqueror. Displaying mathematics on wikipedia, e.g. Remez algorithm seems to be a no go. Wikipedia seems to use tex, so I installed texlive and texlive-* . Firefox hadn't needed it and it did not seem to help konqueror. My guess is that there is a bit somewhere that I need to flip, but I have no idea where it is.

PHP 7.x on CentOS 7 : which solution ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

Hi, As you all know, CentOS 7 is shipping PHP 5.4, which is OK in some situations. Unfortunately, some applications like OwnCloud require a more recent version of PHP. Up until recently, I've been using PHP 5.6 packages from the Webtatic repository. Despite the bad press this third party repo seems to have, it has been working perfectly for me for a few years. Here's the PHP 5.6 packages I have on an OwnCloud server: $ rpm -qa | grep php php56w-devel-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pdo-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-gd-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-mysql-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-process-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pear-1.10.4-1.w7.noarch php56w-common-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-xml-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pecl-redis-3.1.6-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-cli-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-mcrypt-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-mbstring-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pecl-igbinary-2.0.5-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pecl-apcu-4.0.11-2.w7.x86_64 php56w-intl-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-soap-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 Now I'll have to upgrade these to some version of PHP 7. So I googled "php 7 centos 7" and found quite a wealth of - sometimes contradictory - information. 1. The "recommended" way of doing things seems to be the Red Hat Software Collections. Correct me if I'm wrong. I wonder if this way of doing things will enable me to get all the PHP modules listed above. 2. The use of Webtatic seems to be frowned upon. I still have to figure out why, since this repository has always worked perfectly for me. 3. Then there's another repository managed by Remi Collet. Any thoughts on that? And then there's also the question : which version of PHP 7 should I choose ? On my servers, I'm mainly hosting WordPress, Dolibarr and OwnCloud. Any suggestions ? I'm no lamer for doing a bit of RTFM, so a pointer to documentation will do. The problem is not so much that there is no information on the subject. It's rather : there's too much. As we say in France : I'm confused about which saint to send my prayers to. :o) Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'église - 30730 Montpezat Site : https://www.microlinux.fr Blog : https://blog.microlinux.fr Mail : info(a)microlinux.fr Tél. : 04 66 63 10 32

I am trying to use the fnmatch() function in a C program and pass as the 3rd arg (options) of case insensitive search... When I use the value FNM_CASEFOLD it does not work... I'm confused on what to send to fnmatch() to do a case insensitive search. Any pointers ? Thanks. Jerry

netmask set with ifconfig doesn't hold
by KM 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

I gather that ifconfig is a way of setting the netmask in the current shell instead of a persistent value. I say this because I am running it and see it for my specific network interface, directly after running it. However if I restart the network service the netmask is reverted to the previous value. What is the correct way to set the new netmask for the network interface to make it persistent. if it's different for CentOS 6 and 7 I'd like to know that too. FYI - I tried searching about this but none of the info has really helped so far. Also consider this like "changing netmask for dummies" since I am not an administrator and am just searching and trying these things. Thanks very much in advance.KM

read permission on rotated logs
by Alice Wonder 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

When logs (e.g. /var/log/maillog) are rotated (e.g. to /var/log/maillog-YYYYMDD) is there a way via systemd or whatever to assign read permission to a specific group? Right now, for example - ls -l maillog* -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog -rw------- 1 root root 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224 -rw------- 1 root root 7237640 Mar 1 12:59 maillog-20190228 -rw------- 1 root root 1297508 Mar 3 04:21 maillog-20190303 -rw------- 1 root root 1319371 Mar 10 08:17 maillog-20190310 What I would like - ls -l maillog* -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224 -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 7237640 Mar 1 12:59 maillog-20190228 -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1297508 Mar 3 04:21 maillog-20190303 -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1319371 Mar 10 08:17 maillog-20190310 That way a user in somegroup could run a script that analyzes the rotated logs w/o needing root privileges. Obviously I could put a script in /etc/cron.hourly that looks for rotated log files and changes ownership / permission, but I am wondering if there is a "proper" way to configure it via systemd or another utility.
