And it was 7 years before it was 10 .. so 5 could certainly be good
enough for most people.  But not everyone.

Again .. I couldn't care less what anyone uses or how they feel about
things i can't control.  I am just saying, for the vast majority of
users, 5 years is OK and Steam is good enough and stable enough to use.
RHEL is based off it, it must be good enough.

Not trying to start a philosophical debate or a tread on how someone is
offended by such and such release date changing, etc.  Just stating that
Stream is good enough for almost anyone to use.  It has a lifetime as
good as Debian or Ubuntu LTS .. it gets security updates in a timely manner.

If it doesn't meet your needs (not you in particular Nicolas .. YOU in
the larger / plural sense) .. then use something that does.

From what I'm seeing in terms of numbers from watching EPEL¹, CentOS Stream
is the most popular "successor". For RHEL rebuilds, Oracle is the most
popular but will soon be overtaken² by Alma Linux. Rocky Linux has just
started to show up on the radar; it'll be interesting to see what the trends
look like in six months.

Also worth noting that CentOS Linux continues to grow — this is CentOS Linux
8 installations, as this method doesn't include anything before that.

2. Caveat: Oracle Linux is undercounted here because they have their own
   EPEL rebuild

[CentOS] Annoyances with sound

2021-07-23 Thread mark

Hi, folks,

   Running C7, updated the beginning of this month. KDE, I go to the 
start menu->multimedia. and select kmix, the pretty cursor bounces for a 
while, then apparently ends with nothing running. Nothing in .xerrors.


   I try selecting audacity - which I don't trust, given that the last 
time, weeks ago, that I ran it from the command line, after about 5 min, 
it hung my system (16G RAM, Core I-7) so hard I had to power cycle. From 
the start menu... I get a popup "an error has occured."


   What's going on here?

Not happening for me on any of my platforms (though I don't have BSD
beyond Mac) so the usual suspects need to be checked:

1. Have the websites you log into changed their policies. A lot of
places are being required to shorten login credentials.
2. Is something causing your ip address for the workstation to change.
This can cause the server to see the existing login transaction as
invalid and requires reauthentication.
3. Is it something with that profile. Corruptions happen and sometimes
you either have to restore from before it happened or start over with
a new profile. The best way is to create a new profile and test but
you can also just mv .firefox to .firefox-broke and start over too.
Then log into some sites and then see if it happens.

[CentOS] OT: firefox question

2021-07-23 Thread Valeri Galtsev

Dear Experts,

My question is OT, as it is related to firefox, not CentOS system per 
se. Even more: my firefox runs on FreeBSD workstation. But I figured 
this list have largest likelihood of having experts in firefox (as well 
as on other things), so...


My firefox behavior changed after one of recent updates..

When one logs in to website that is locked using web password (e.g., set 
in .htacess/.htpasswd in apache), one gives username/password once. Then 
firefox remembers that while firefox is running, and you don't have to 
give credentials (though authentication does happen behind the scenes 
all the time since). But not anymore for me at least on my (FreeBSD) 
workstation: in the morning I discover firefox (though it had not been 
restarted) asks yet again credentials to websites I have been logged to. 
As if firefox purges credentials to websites after some period of time 
(or inactivity on those websites).


This stared happening not long ago after one of updates firefox is known 
to release annoyingly often (as in: mozilla foundation forgot the 
meaning of the word "release" which means well debugged code some time 
about decade ago...).


I tried to find relevant setting in GUI preferences to no avail (maybe 
it is just me?), and hope, experts know deeper lying preferences, and 
may point me to relevant one.


All in all, I'm forced back onto my pursuit for replacement for firefox 
browser...


Thanks a lot for all your answers. And my apologies for rant (which I 
was not able to separate due to my frustration...).
