Sorry, this doesn't work. It says "private video", and apparently this
isn't linked to a YT account, which I have.

You have to make the video public in your account.

Cheers,

Niki

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 + GNOME : all icon themes broken after update from CR

On a side note. One component I do wish Red Hat would upgrade regularly
between point releases is the HPLIP printer driver. The version shipped
with RHEL/CentOS is fairly obsolete and also buggy (hp-plugin hasn't
been working for ages). Which means pretty much every new HP printer I
buy nowadays is unsupported.

There is always the possibility of installing HPLIP from upstream, which
I documented here for example :

  * https://blog.microlinux.fr/hp-pagewide-pro-centos/

But this method also has its shortcomings.  And is one of the many
reasons why I'm considering the move to Fedora on the desktop (which is
more or less a rolling distribution with releases in between).

Cheers,

Niki

Since Red Hat decided to roll in some major GNOME updates between

better off using Fedora on desktops. 
... There are new gnome-session and gdm updates that I am getting 
ready to push to CR .. gnome-session-3.28.1-6.el7.src.rpm and

can see if they fix any of your issues by looking at the upstream 
errata, etc. 


Well, reporting back, and I'm not 100% sure what caused my problem. I 
have used several repos since I installed the box two years ago, and 
there was quite a bit of clutter.  I'm leaning towards my use of 
xscreensaver (I like the 'flurry' screensaver) as the likely culprit, 
but I had enough clutter that it's not really practical (not to mention 
that I really can't take the time) to fully troubleshoot and be close to 
100% sure.


Since I did have some clutter to deal with, and the drives (250GB mSATA 
SSD and 1TB HGST 7K1000) are two years old at this point, I decided it 
was time to refresh my installation.  So I got a good deal on a Samsung 
860 EVO 500GB mSATA and another HGST 7K1000 (one of the best 2.5 inch 
drives out there), and waited until they came in to do a complete 
reinstall, and am rsyncing files over from the older 1TB drive as 
needed.  The Dell Precision M6700 laptop has two 2.5 inch bays plus the 
mSATA slot, so I downloaded the 1804 DVD iso (mirrors must be syncing; 
the download took way longer than it should have!), installed to the 860 
SSD with the 1TB as /home (leaving the old 1TB /home alone), and 
successfully updated with CR afterwards.  The install of the ELrepo 
nvidia driver went smoothly, and after some install work and rsync work 
I'm back operational; a USB 3.0 enclosure for the older mSATA boot drive 
made it much easier.


I spent more time trying to troubleshoot GNOME3's startup than it took 
to install and update!


In a related vein, does anyone have a pointer to a good solid GNOME3 
startup document that gives enough detail to where someone can actually 
troubleshoot without having to patch and rebuild gjs and stack trace 
javascript?  Just a simple startup log woul be nice, instead of the 
SIGSEGV in /var/log/messages.  (side note: I really hate how the 
Android GMail messes up threading; the Samsung email app is better, but 
it can't properly display a lot of the messages in the CentOS list (such 
as Johnny's) and GMail can)

Do you mean Youtube account or some other sort? I've got a YT account
but the videos are still all private.

Some other people's experience on downgrading a point release:
https://access.redhat.com/discussions/2933711

If you couldn't read that article, just search "yum history undo".


That didn't work unfortunately. The lesson learned here is :

   * CR repository works great for servers

   * never use it to upgrade a desktop


Issues for me as well doing this CR upgrade yesterday.

Two particularly upsetting though I have not investigated yet:

* the normal boot menu doesn't appear. The back up kernels and setup may 
have actually been removed. I need to look into this.


Good news on the above. With new updates pushed today, my boot menu is 
back. \o/ This saved me digging into grub2 setup. So thank you.




* My console font is now HUGE!


This is still the case, but I'm sure I can deal with this.



Likely due to a bad X server init which set display at like 640 x 360 or 
something.


Gnome desktop.

Maybe more to come as I look into this a bit more today.



I used it on all my desktops .. they work great for me .. is your
desktop Gnome/KDE for something from EPEL or Nux?

Nope.

Probably need an account.

Is it only me or are the talks not public on YouTube. When I open the
link, it says "Private Video" for every entry in the playlist.

[CentOS-docs] (no subject)

2018-11-22 Thread thteals
Greetings!

I just signed up to be a part of the CentOS docs Wiki contributors.

At the moment, I do not have a proposed subject or location.

I presume that once I have a content of some sort, that's when I propose
the subject and location of my Wiki contribution(s).

In the meantime, I'd like to request a personal homepage.

My username is AdrianCho.

If you need any further information from me, please let me know.


Regards,


Adrian Cho
