Re: [CentOS] Google Chrome
If the Chromium builds that Johnny packaged still work, those are what you'll want to use. There may be a more recent source than is detailed here however: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2013-June/135238.html http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2013/install-chromium-on-centos- red-hat-rhel/ Are these still being built / maintained? The last version I have is 28.0.1500.95. I'm sure Johnny has better things to do. He mentioned that at some point it might not even be possible to make new builds.

[CentOS] Latest chromium i686 - Illegal Instruction
Hi, I recently upgraded chromium on a 32-bit CentOS 6.4 system yesterday to version to chromium-28.0.1500.95-213514.i686. I then ran the chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh script, but my copy of the script was before it was modified to check the architecture so it downloaded the 64 bit chrome rpm and installed that version of pepper. I tried to run chromium but was greeted with Illegal Instruction (core dumped). I then noticed the 64-bit rpm was downloaded so I removed /opt/chromium/PepperFlash and completely re-installed chromium.i686. No go. So I then cleaned up /tmp, rebooted and removed ~/.cache/google-chrome and ~/.config/chrome. Unfortunately it is still crashing. I'm not sure if it has to do with the updated version or the botched 64-bit pepperflash installation, the script doesn't seem to do anything other than create /opt/chromium/PepperFlash and update the .desktop file. I ran an strace of /opt/chromium/chrome-wrapper and put it here: http://pastie.org/8272854 - it's always crashing on statfs64(/selinux, ) - not sure what that means though. /selinux exists, selinux is actually disabled. Anyone else having issues like this? Thank you, Josh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] CentOS-6 Status updates
heck it's still Linux and pretty much the same. There's a lot more than just a kernel to break a system. Red Hat went far too long between releases and it is clear to me that I can't possibly rely on CentOS for timeliness. Maybe I'm just in a different kind of environment, but why do you *need* more frequent releases? I still run some servers on EL 4 and will only migrate them when they approach End-of-Life status. They work and are up unless I bring them down. Security patches are still being pushed out for them. Sounds like you're looking for a desktop linux - probably best to use Fedora/Ubuntu?

Re: [CentOS] [OT] SQL*Plus output as PDF [Linux]
I generate with SQL*Plus a CSV file. How to convert this to PDF? Or more generally: how to get SQL*Plus output to PDF on Linux? Marked as Off Topic. I would do this: sqlplus SET MARKUP HTML ON SPOOL foo.html SELECT * FROM emp; SPOOL OFF Quit sqlplus and use htmldoc to convert foo.html to foo.pdf, or load it in a browser and use CutePDF or something to print it to a .pdf if in a hurry.

Re: [CentOS] [OT: threading] WAS: Centos 6 Update?
firstly, get a better email client. Your existing one is broken. Irrelevant, unhelpful and quite rude. mailing lists are setup to retain thread sanity, its expected people use mailclients that can honour that. If yours cant and you prefer not to change it- perhaps consider using the centos.org forums instead ? FWIW, on kmail on Fedora 14, at least, his messages show up properly threaded, even though the In-Reply-To and References headers are missing from his message. Don't know why Thunderbird doesn't show them threaded. Of course, kmail has its own problems, particularly with putting in to many References headers on occasion, but that's a different issue. Some clients also thread by subject by default, I usually use claws mail for ML stuff as it's threading is excellent.

Re: [CentOS] Watching a directory
Let start with adding files. What tools are available for me to watch a directory. In an example, if a file is added to a directory I want to run a shell script that will do some conversation on the file to produce a second copy. I just was working on something like this today - yum search inotify - here's a nice intro with an example close to what I'm using: https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/wiki/#info (inotifywait example 1) I used -e create -e modify -e delete instead of -e close_wait - see the man page for events. Very slick so far. Josh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] security cameras
I heard about some inexpensive security cameras which get their power through the same cat5 cable which delivers the data/pictures (which would simplify wiring tremendously). Does anyone know about these? Do they work with Linux, particularly CentOS? I have a security camera, though not powered through the cat5, will have to check that out... Anyway, I'd recommend these sites: http://www.zoneminder.com/ http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/ Right now I have my camera attached to an RF modulator and splitter which merges the signal onto the coax run on channel 65 so I can watch it on my TV. As far as integrating with Linux, would check out Zone Minder link above, otherwise if you modulate onto your TV stream like I did you can then just use mythtv or any capture program if you wanted to schedule captures, etc. Have fun, Josh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Alternative to cPanel
Hello all, I'm looking to setup a new CentOS box for a buddy of mine who wants to do hosting on a server via CoLo, Years ago I whipped up a CP of my own on a Debian box he colo'd running a basterdized qmail/tinydns and custom built httpd/mysql/etc (I was young). It worked ok but time to move on and I don't have time to maintain all those packages. I also don't have time to write another CP or port my PoS to it. I'm also just going to use the default packages (bind, postfix, etc) instead of the DJB stuff. Main requirements are fairly straightforward: 1. able to add/manage domains, ssl cert management, manage DNS records 2. able to manage email accounts and anti-spam settings 3. able to add/manage mysql and pgsql (nice to have) 4. user management - ftp/ssh accounts, password change, etc. 5. nice to have: add a wordpress blog / xcart store to a site 6. nice to have: users have own login to do some of the above for their domain only 7. nice to have: integrated website stats (awstats or equiv) 8. not optional - should have a focus on security Stuff like viewing logs, automated billing, hosting plans, managing backups, bandwidth monitoring, uploading web pages, managing server patches, adding new software, etc. I don't mind leaving off or doing myself. Willing to pay a license, but not a huge budget. I was leaning towards webmin/virtualmin but thought I'd check with this list for any suggestions. Had bad experiences with Plesk from a while ago so leaving that off the table. We have experience with cPanel through another fail host, it's ok but too much stuff and too expensive.

Re: [CentOS] Alternative to cPanel
+1 for Virtualmin. People will brag that it's insecure etc, but it has always done the job for me and I have more than 100 installations of it. I never had security problems because of it. Thanks for all the posts. Curious about the people will brag that it's insecure - is there a poor track record of security problems with webmin? I noticed these: http://www.webmin.com/security.html http://tensixtyone.com/perma/woes-of-webmin http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/SecuringWebmin I certainly don't plan to allow access to webmin save for a couple selected IP's and I'm not surprised to see any web application have security vulnerabilities. But if it's on par with something like phpbb as far as security problems go, I'll probably look elsewhere.

And I know that from a few phpbb installs being hacked on some of my webmin servers. LOL!!! Haha same (pristing phpbb, latest source, hacked in weeks). I don't even know what to compare to phpbb - phpnuke maybe? I won't even bother mentioning a certain DNS server as it's already being discussed ad nauseum. :) Anyway - OT now.

Re: [CentOS] http://www.securityweek.com/high-severity-bind-vulnerability-advisory-issued
Please take off the blinders and realize there are lots of folks (some x% of a million or more) on this list who compile from current source in order to minimize their risks and are therefore the subject audience. On the one hand, you have Paul Vixie and crew (authors of BIND) and US_CERT saying US-CERT encourages users and administrators using the affected versions of BIND to upgrade to BIND 9.7.3. On the other hand, you have don't bother me with reality, I'm comfortable, am not affected and don't want to read messages to those who are affected. I've only been subscribed here a week and this topic seems very heated, so sorry if this stirs the pot up again, but don't patches for these things get back-ported? So even if you're running bind v9.5.1 on CentOS/upstream 4/5.x you'd still have security fixes like those in this article backported right? And yeah I suppose rolling your own is always an option but in my experience it's to easy to get behind. This seems more like a Slackware approach tho, nothing against Slack of course!
