[CentOS] NetworkManager / wireless on latest Centos7 installs
Hello All, on the latest installs I've done, on 2 different types of Latitude laptops, with 3 different wireless cars, of Centos7 and Mate desktop, it looks to me like NetworkManager is nog managing wireless. When clicking the nm icon in the top right corner, I'm not seeing access points. Wifi seems enabled [root@localhost ~]# nmcli g STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN connected full enabled enabled enabled enabled but unmanaged [root@localhost ~]# nmcli d DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION enp0s25 ethernet connected enp0s25 lo loopback unmanaged -- wlp12s0 wifi unmanaged -- I always start from a minimal install. Then I install X Window packages, and Mate The only difference I can think of, is that I now installed from Centos7.1 minimal install media, and before from Centos7 DVD. But there I also select minimal install. How can I change this? Greetings, Johan ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm sure there must be other people who would find the corrected RPMs useful, so my questions now are: a) Is there a contributors repo to which it would be appropriate to submit them? b) Is there a better way to number the release for this version? it may be better to change the package name to less-posix rather than change the release number, and have the new package conflict with less. That way once you've installed it, it won't get squashed by a yum update. you might need to have it provide less though, to avoid unmet deps eg for man or gzip. Excellent points - thanks! I'll have a play and see what I can do. Would still like to know how/where best to contribute them.

I for one still have /usr living on separate partition on CentOS 7
workstations which are few (do not and never will run servers under CentOS
7). And I have sixth field (fs_passno) 2 for /usr in /etc/fstab. Didn't
have problems with these boxes so far. Though fs_passno should probably be

Try the text-based installer. Sadly, laptops are so varied its quite often that the video hardware simply isn't supported during install, and needs a 3rd-party driver to even work. Don't get too excited about the VNC suggestion. Anaconda (the software performing the install) has the option to use VNC for a graphical install if you are installing a headless server.

[CentOS] Why is sha256-generic preferred over sha256-ssse3?
The newly-released kernel v2.6.32-504.23.4.el6 includes the back-ported SHA256-SSSE3 driver. Why is the generic version of the SHA256 driver selected at runtime instead of the SSSE3 version on this x86_64 system? Yes, my CPU does support the SSSE3 instruction set, and the use of SHA256 is invoked by the LUKS cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 option. On the running system I see that the sha256-ssse3 driver is not loaded. Further evidence that the generic driver is in use: # grep sha256 /proc/crypto name : sha256 driver : sha256-generic So... what's the trick to using the sha256-ssse3 driver instead of the generic driver?

The MS tools complained about trying to expand the active file system. It appears that the tools on Win7 Pro can not expand the active system file system. I tried both the GUI version where you right click on the file system and choose expand, and the command line diskpart command. I used: kpartx -av my.img to mount my image file ntfsresize -P --force --force /dev/mapper/loop0p2 to resize the file system to fit the previously expanded partition. Widows ran a file system check, booted up, and now reports a 50GB partition. I'm happy, and Windows is happy. Now I can proceed to install a bunch of software on the newly expanded file system. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I won't go into how to use gparted, it's not hard, so you can surely figure it out (I did!:) 5. boot windows and let it do its thing with repairing the disk. such might work, but only if one has original oos install disk and recovery disk. 6. run your Centos installer, being sure NOT to let it mess with your windows partition(s). 7. see my other note about how to get it to dual boot with windows. or so it is as i have found trying to set up a win7 laptop. ymmv. -- peace out.
