I’m confused, are you talking about Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS or RHEL?

With that attitude, nothing would ever be fixed.  I understand you are 
frustrated, but feedback and bug reports are one of the best way to help open 
source projects.

On Centos-7, some apps use PulseAudioVolumeControl (pavucontrol)
instead of the one that defaults to the top panel. (I am running
Mate, not Gnome--yuck--so YMMV).

I wish there was a way to control all from a single place, but AFAICF
there isn't. for some things I use the one on the top panel (which is
Mate Volume Control) and for others I gotta start up pavucontrol.
it's a nuisance.

My USB phones seem to be controlled by the pavu control, while the
speakers tend to be controlled by the mate volume control. and I can't
get my old analog (1/8 inch plug) headphones to work at all anymore,
no matter what control I use or how I poke at it, all the sound comes
from the speakers (which are plugged into the line out [green} jack
on the rear of the computer, while the headphones are plugged into the
green jack on the front.)

digressing a little... A few years ago my systems all supported 
auto-switching between speakers and headphones when the phone plug
was inserted, but the only one I have now that does that is my netbook.
the current desk-side system and its last couple of predecessors now
do not do that. Go figure.

Not sure, volume control on my USB headphones work just fine on CentOS 
7. Both on the headphones itself and from the desktop.


On both my home built PC and on my Thinkpad T410 (where it also works 
from volume buttons on keyboard)


I use MATE though, but I don't know if that is why.

Re: [CentOS] Getting started with mod_security

[John Jasen]

mod_security 2.7.3 from CentOS is pretty old and pretty broken. The crs
package is equally out of date.

Recompiling mod_security from a more recent fedora SRPM and grabbing the
OWASP core-rule-set from git will yield much better results, in my opinion.

Sure; that's the tradeoff of getting new stuff.

But, I'm not asking anyone here to switch to Fedora. I'm asking

The issue I have here is even if I did file a bug, and the issue were

played that game for a while with fedora core when Red Hat Linux died 
before settling on Enterprise Linux and have never looked back.


I have just recently upgraded my main system from el5 to el7. I 
originally built and installed that el5 system back in 2007. It ran for 
10 years without a hitch. I can count the number of bugs I had to file 
in 10 years on one hand. Once they were fixed the system just worked for 
10 years. If RH continued to support it, I'd still be using it now, and 
probably for a lot longer, because it still worked as well for me now as 
it did in 2007. I've updated to el7 not because I wanted to or needed 
to, but because I was forced to, and given the pain I want another 10 
years of payback to make it worth the effort.



I know it sucks when an issue that affects you doesn't get fixed in a
timely manner, but we really do appreciate reports and it's helpful if
you can retest and reopen EOL bugs if they do indeed still happen in

It is discouraging to see bugs closed all the time not because the bugs
are fixed but because Fedora has gone EOL again.  When the policy is to
have bugs fixed upstream, it might be a good idea to have them reported
upstream and to restrict Fedoras bugzilla to bugs actually introduced by
Fedora.  In any case, I have given up reporting bugs a long time ago,
especially with Fedora.

However, I´m seeing the same bugs from years ago still unfixed in Centos.
That refers to libreoffice being unusably slow.  This still doesn´t seem
to be fixed for Fedora, either, because it went EOL --- but I don´t know.



Agree on that. My previous 10 year old el5 install ran OpenOffice 
perfectly on 10 year old hardware. My new el7 install on brand new 
hardware which is vastly superior in terms of processing power, GPU 
power, disk IO, can't even scroll a simple 3 column spreadsheet on the 
screen. How is that improvement or advancement?


But if the issue does ever get fixed, you can bet your life I'll be 
sticking with that fixed product for the next 10 years, not upgrading to 
some other broken version in 6 or 12 months time.



What is the fix for Centos?  There used to be a package you could install
which made libreoffice work at normal speed, and that package seems to
have disappeared.

I have installed the xen-4.6.6 and kernel-4.9.39-29 from testing on a
thinkpad t520 with 16GB ram as a test server.

I was able to follow the steps here to create 2 HVM vms (one centos-6,
one centos-7):

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Cli

So it also 'works for me' with intel 64bit CPU.

Of course, if you _really_ need something fixed and want someone on the

I usually end up finding another solution, perhaps fixing the problem
myself, or not having a solution at all.  And for example, I doubt that
RH would be inclined to come up with a CUPS filter that allows to print
files created with lyx directly because it´s not possible to use lyx to
convert them without running a GUI.


Now Fedora goes Gentoo, which I moved away from because of exactly
what Fedora finally goes for.


This is nothing like Gentoo.


Sure is:  You get to manage your distribution yourself by picking the
versions of packages you figure might work together, which you are
supposed and required to do with Gentoo, especially when you run into
yet another dependency conflict.  Only --- I guess --- you don´t get
the same level of control over the packages as you get with Gentoo
because there aren´t any USE flags.

I understand that the idea is probably to make it so that you don´t
have problems like you can have with Gentoo because the packages are
isolated in such a way that there are no dependency conflicts.  So you
end up trying to figure out for every package which version you want and
which version brings about the minimum overhead you can get away with.
That is not substantially different from what you do with Gentoo in that
you are faced with having to find answers for questions you know you
shouldn´t need to ask in the first place.

In case I really need a particular version of some software, nothing
really prevents me from installing it myself.  It´s rare enough that
this happens.  In my case, that´s once in 30 years --- twice if you
count the perl version in Centos being too old, but that can be worked
around.

Are you sure that all the added complexity and implicitly giving up a
stable platform by providing a mess of package versions is worth it?  How
are the plans about dealing with bug reports, say, for squid 2.7, for
those who need that version for a feature which hasn´t been included in
current versions yet?  Just wait a bit until the distribution goes EOL?

Re: [CentOS] ARM support from CentOS

If you are interested in the Freescale Wandboards, the uboot is 
available and should work.


You will need to start with the Cubietruck image, but grab the uboot rpm 
and pull out the proper Wandboard uboot.


Direct your question to the Centos-arm list:

And I can help you there.  I have not worked with the Wandboards, but am

I could boot 4.9.39, it brings:
 - Dell features like screen light control and wireless toggle key,
 - dual screen support using the HDMI port,
and maybe more that I couldn't see, wow!

Installing from the DVD does work! I was trying from the Live CD, no
luck.

I see. It's true that secure boot is ON here. I'll turn it off, and
also see your other email. Thanks a bunch!

What´s the point of doing this with Fedora?  It´s not like bugs
were fixed before Fedora is EOL and all reports are forgotten.

Now Fedora goes Gentoo, which I moved away from because of exactly
what Fedora finally goes for.

 Hello there,


 I've just got a Dell XPS 15 (9590) at work and need to set up a stable
 GNU/Linux system on it. I thought of CentOS7, but.. obviously its
 kernel can't run on this hardware.

 What would you recommend? Waiting for CentOS8 is not an option unless
 it's a question of few weeks. Are there respins of the CentOS7 DVDs w/
 more top-recent kernels? I'm know of Fedora 26 or course, and not
 willing to switch to Ubuntu 16.10 at all.

There are actually 2 kernels, one on the live DVD I just posted, and one
in the experimental repo.

Both of those would require NO secure boot turned on, but they both
should work fine with UEFI and secure boot off.

I've just succeeded in installing CentOS7 from the DVD! Had no luck
using a Live CD (both dd'ed to a flash drive).

Hardware support is not complete (or not configured as-is):
 - bluetooth not working
 - HDMI ouput -> nothing
 - dell Fn keys -> no screen light, no wifi toggle
 - no suspend/hibernate

I will now try to inject more recent kernels (yours *) or extra firmware,
see how I can find better hardware support and configuration. And
compare this to what Fedora 26 provides..

(*) BTW, I installed your 4.9.39 kernel (did a yum update after
configuring a repo file to get your stuff) and at boot, I immediately
get:
error: $KERNEL_NAME_HERE has invalid signature
error: you need to load the kernel first

OK .. I just pushed this ISO to the master mirror:

CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGnome-1707-exp.iso (sha256sum):
f60d806f513f337acd09c5cf4a2ec3c735ba82519798d07096992916fc4cf271

Once it makes it to the mirrors, it can be downloaded via this link:

https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGnome-1707-exp.iso

I also tested this on a physical machine (t520 thinkpad) , as well as an
install on a KVM VM, and it installs fine both places.

After install and reboot, add in the experimental.repo file via this
link (bottom of the page):

https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/i386

Run a 'yum upgrade', reboot and you should be set.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

 4.9 kernel tree for CentOS-7 that is.

 It lives here:

 http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/experimental/x86_64/

 (currently pushing a 4.9.39 kernel there)

Once I get a working ISO that installs, I'll post a link.

You would have to set up the experimental repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ to
get kernel updates, and those would be RPM only.

In fact, I have a live ISO now that installs (in KVM) .. but I still
need to make sure this kernel updates correctly from the experimental
repo.

The kernel (and linux-firmware) rpms are unsigned, but should upgrade
from the experimental repo for future upgrades and those are signed.

So, I should have something installable sometime in the next few hours
that you can try.

Johnny Hughes

Any testing or feedback on these 4.6.6 rpms?  It would suck if I was the

it works for me on HP(Intel Xeon) and AMD (K8).

Where could I get an ISO (once fixed), I only saw RPMs at the link you

Any testing or feedback on these 4.6.6 rpms?  It would suck if I was the
only tester and they don't work on other hardware AND they get into the
release stream.

 Hello there,


 I've just got a Dell XPS 15 (9590) at work and need to set up a stable
 GNU/Linux system on it. I thought of CentOS7, but.. obviously its
 kernel can't run on this hardware.

 What would you recommend? Waiting for CentOS8 is not an option unless
 it's a question of few weeks. Are there respins of the CentOS7 DVDs w/
 more top-recent kernels? I'm know of Fedora 26 or course, and not
 willing to switch to Ubuntu 16.10 at all.

Thanks, if I succeed in installing a C7, I'll make use of it and
provide feedback.

Thanks!

I read that elsewhere, that's what I did too.

I could install F26 and run it, that will probably be my option if I
definitely fail w/ CentOS7+whatever and once I solved the UEFI config
issue (Windows overrides it everytime).

I'll probably use a WD15 Dock, apparently that works out of the box in
Linux too, provided that the dock firmware is up-to-date.

As a try, I could install a Fedora 26 - installation and runtime went fine,
apparently for everything (cpu, disk, video, wifi, bluetooth, sound..).
Bad luck, once back to Windows (it's a dual boot), the UEFI config lost
the F26 entry, I'm good to reinstall and find how to prevent Windows to
override the UEFI config. Also digging other directions..

This is why I appreciate KDE neon (https://neon.kde.org/) as a "lesser
evil" fallback solution on hardware that does not support CentOS. Its
base is LTS, hardware support is improved between minor releases. The
system is stable (e. g. usable), and its support is way longer than Fedora.

Can you boot the installation DVD? Does the installer come up? If not,
can you use the text-mode installer?

4.9 kernel tree for CentOS-7 that is.

It lives here:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/experimental/x86_64/

(currently pushing a 4.9.39 kernel there)

I have an experimental 4.9.x kernel stream for x86_64.  Let me see if I
can create a live-dvd that boots with that kernel and installs.

[CentOS-docs] Howto for courier email server

[Rob]

Hi Guys,

Username: RobertDiamond

Background: Australian engineer working for a very small IT consultancy

Proposed Wiki contribution: An idiots guide, OK a HowTo, on compiling 
and running the courier email server package on Centos7.


I'm just finishing off setting up a replacement courier email server 
(www.courier-mta.org) for our small office. I've taken good notes on the 
steps required, and would be happy to put them up on the Centos Wiki if 
that's of any interest.


Regards,

Rob.
