You could try installing some other TeX packaging system - on CentOS7, that would be texlive - and that will give you many of the other files and classes you may need. Other non-packaged files can be downloaded from CTAN. I think what you need to get your head around is that these aren't "LyX files", they are "TeX/LaTeX files" that LyX uses.

It appears that most of the class files don't exist in the form of a rpm. In fact, some of this stuff doesn't seem to be downloadable as a .cls file (which is the format that lyx expects to see). Somehow (that I haven't yet read up on) you are to convert a tex file that you download from a random ftp site into a cls file and that goes into a directory that lyx can see. Obviously, I have some more reading and figuring out to do here. A lot of this stuff was apparently never packaged for easy installation on a rpm-based system. I still think lyx is a very cool program. I don't use very often but every time I do I always think that I should be using it for more. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] anybody need a ... ??
Hi! We're cleaning house, trying to downsize so we can move into a retirement community, so we're finding all sorts of stuff to get rid of. One thing I'm reluctant to throw out is my Multitech MT5600BA V90 modem. I used it for dialup for several years before broadband became available and it was great, stable, and fast. (its predecessor, a much-touted consumer-grade V90 modem was unreliable and not great). I'm thinking we are/were on an unstable copper pair, but the phone company said it was fine. So, anyway, I have this lovely industrial-strength modem I'd like to provide someone, "free to a good home", if anyone has, or knows of anyone who has, a use for a V90 modem. Original packaging (including the floppy-based "drivers" for windoze! :) ) and a printout of the modem manual. Anyone?? Thanks in advance!

I noticed a strange behaviour (don't know if this is the wanted default). If I try ,from normal user shell, to run command like "reboot" or "shutdown -h now" system will reboot/shutdown. This happens on tty console, on xfce terminal and ssh session. My user is not in wheel and during install I have not enabled checkbox to give that user administration permission. I tried to create a new user with adduser but got the same problem. To solve this I modified polkit login1 policy on /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy setting no for statement that concern reboot and shutdown/poweroff. Why on CentOS a normal user can shutdown the system without root privileges? I think that on any server normal user should not be able to shutdown the system without privileges. This is a bug or a wanted default? So, as you figured out from the polkit setting - "active" user's (i.e. with a "seat") have access to shut a machine down. Now to figure out who has a seat - and you use "loginctl" to see that. For e.g. from my non-privileged user logged into my CentOS 8.1 VM via ssh: $ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 1 # user it shows that I don't have a "seat" and so: $ shutdown -h now Failed to set wall message, ignoring: Connection timed out Failed to power off system via logind: Interactive authentication required. Failed to open initctl fifo: Permission denied Failed to talk to init daemon. as expected. Perhaps you can start tracking down with loginctl who has a seat and why. Hi, thank you very much for your suggestion, loginctl did help me to understand this "problem". I tried to run loginctl on my VM logging in with ssh and I get this: [testuser@localhost ~]$ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 3 1000 testuser 1 sessions listed. and try to run reboot give me the expected behaviour. If I try from tty console I have a seat for testuser and can reboot the system. I don't know what I done in the other test... Thank you very much, I'm happy this is my mistake and not a centos bug. Thank you to all user that helped me. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
