I switched to Xfce with Fedora 20 and have put up with Gnome on my Centos systems so far. Here's my custom script that installs a full-blow bells-and-whistles Xfce desktop from a minimal CentOS installation, without any unnecessary packages. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos-7-desktop-xfce/blob/master/postinstall.sh Once you've installed the "X Window System" group and you invoke "yum groupinstall Xfce", the group consists of not much more than a dozen explicit core packages (Thunar, xfdesktop, xfce4-panel, etc.) and then - of course - all the dependencies are installed. Give this a spin on an x86_64 machine and then write down this relatively short list. I don't have an x86_64 machine with Centos on it. I would have to play with Qemu VM for centos on this Fedora 28 notebook. All my servers (other than the ClearOS one) are ARM. The armhfp repos (including epel) do not have either the "X Windows System" or "Xfce" (and any sub-groups that calls). So I am asking for the content of those groups. Hopefully the source scripts so I can modify them (as needed) for armhfp. It would seem that there is a source file somewhere in the source tree with the script(s) contents. thanks In the file 5307666922f0cd10058b04791f3f596cfcaab48df6fdd6cf847f349bd455e0bd-comps-Everything.x86_64.xml from the repodata in the Epel 7 repository there is the following for the Xfce group, is this helpful to you? Yes! I can pull out the rpm list and build a file to feed into yum. Can you point out the URL for all the groups? I am also going to need the "X Windows System" group, I believe (and should compare it to the Server GUI group).

Hopefully the source scripts so I can modify them (as needed) for armhfp. It would seem that there is a source file somewhere in the source tree with the script(s) contents. thanks Cheers, Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I can of course do stop sssd delete the contents of /var/lib/sss/db start sssd and that's what I do when things become an issue. But surely there is a better way of SSSD actually realising that a user has been deleted from LDAP? Concerning a wedged cache, deleting the relevant *.ldb files from /var/lib/sss/db is the only solution that's worked for me, though I've had to resort to it only a couple time. I've never tried disabling the cache, so I'm no help there. -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Here's my custom script that installs a full-blow bells-and-whistles Xfce desktop from a minimal CentOS installation, without any unnecessary packages. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos-7-desktop-xfce/blob/master/postinstall.sh Once you've installed the "X Window System" group and you invoke "yum groupinstall Xfce", the group consists of not much more than a dozen explicit core packages (Thunar, xfdesktop, xfce4-panel, etc.) and then - of course - all the dependencies are installed. Give this a spin on an x86_64 machine and then write down this relatively short list.

[CentOS] Back to Xfce
Now that the basic server is up and running. With Gnome via VNC (yuck), it is time to go back and figure out howto install Xfce without an Xfce group script. So I am asking those with X64 Centos for some pointers. Like where are the group scripts so maybe I can modify them for armhfp. I was reading: https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-install-xfce-gui-in-centos-7-linux/ Where the author talks about doing a minimal install then running: yum groupinstall "Server with GUI" But notes that this installs Gnome (which I don't want) and that instead to yum groupinstall “X Window System” But has concerns if this installs all needed followed up with yum groupinstall "Xfce" Thing is on armhfp, I do not have “X Window System” or "Xfce" I have come to understand that groups are scripts that install all the need rpms for the group. But I have not found where these scripts are so hopefully I can see them, figure out how to modify them for the armhfp rpms, and run them. So I am looking for pointers on where these are in tehx64 repos, and how to work with these scripts. thank you for your help.. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] How do I actaully get the current sources from centos-git?
Hi, I am trying to retrieve the srpm for the latest centos-release pacakge from centos-git by following the instructions @ https://wiki.centos.org/Sources. If I run the following commands: git clone https://git.centos.org/git/rpms/centos-release.git cd centos-release/ git checkout c7 ~/centos-git-common/get_sources.sh Everything completes without error. The problem is that the sources that get downloaded are not for 1804. (vgeppetto2 pts21) $ ll SOURCES/ SPECS/ SOURCES/: total 28 -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 1584 Aug 6 08:19 1000-centos-release-cr.patch -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 264 Aug 6 08:19 85-display-manager.preset -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 2439 Aug 6 08:19 90-default.preset -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 12799 Aug 6 08:20 centos-release-7-1.1503.tar.gz SPECS/: total 8 -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 6471 Aug 6 08:19 centos-release.spec (vgeppetto2 pts21) $grep "define upstream_rel" SPECS/centos-release.spec %define upstream_rel 7.3 (vgeppetto2 pts21) $ So if I am reading things correctly, it looks like the SOURCES are for 1503 and the spec file is for 1611. Can someone please explain to me how to actually get the current SOURCES and SPEC for centos-release-7-5.1804.1 from centos git? To be clear I know I can get the srpm from vault but I would like to understand how to work centos git.

Re: [CentOS] rsync versioning problem
Warren, Just want to say thanks. I have my automated backups going now. Good old cronie. Since I have a cat6 line to my neighbor (as a favor for their net access), I only have to move the backup box to his house and I have off-site backups for $150 outlay (arm SOC and 4 TB drive) and <$50/yr electric (our rate is ~$0.21/KWH). You can't buy cloud storage for that price.

But since it is executing ssh under the hood, and ssh *does* pay attention to that file, it takes effect. If you’re creating that file for the first time, be sure to chmod 600 it. Ssh will ignore it if it’s not locked-down. RTFM for details. /var/flexshare/shares x.htt-consult.com:/media/backup/homebase/var/flexshare/shares/ Rsync won’t create multiple levels of directories on the target. It will only create up to one level of missing directories. Try this: $ ssh x.htt-consult.com 'mkdir -p /media/backup/homebase/var/flexshare/shares/' Oh? I have been doing this in one shape or form for a long time. Let me clarify: If only /media/backup exists on the remote machine, I believe you’ll end up with /media/backup/shares with that command. If at least /media/backup/homebase/var/flexshare exists, rsync will always create “shares” under “flexshare" on the remote host. Anything below that level will also be created, regardless of depth. I’m speaking only of the target path given as the last argument to rsync here, not of the source machine’s directories discovered during the sync process. It’s possible this behavior changed since I last looked at it. I ran into this issue many years ago and now ensure that the target path passed to the rsync command exists on the remote host before starting the sync. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Installing GCC 5.3.0 in CentOS 6 in Docker.
I need to compile some C++ 11 with GCC 5.3.0 on CentOS 6. All of this is happening inside docker in CI using the centos:6 base image. (NB. It can't be GCC 6 or 7, because I have to send binaries to clients who won't install newer vs of libstdc++.so.) Until recently, I was installing devtoolset-4-gcc-c++ via yum, and then using RUN scl enable devtoolset-4 gcc to build the code. Unfortunately, devtoolset-4 is no longer supported, so this has stopped working. I've been trying to compile GCC from scratch, but it's been running for hours and hours – even if I get it working, I'll have to replicate the whole process inside Docker and I suspect it will be very brittle. Is there any easy way of downloading a precompiled version? E.g. -- Is there something that I can do to go back to the old v. of Software Collections? Or -- Is there somewhere I might find a precompiled gcc 5 package? Thanks very much, Mohan ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
