I was building the packages under CentOS 7.5 with mock. One of the packages, mate-terminal, needs a newer version of vte291, i.e. the one from 7.6. No problem when building on 7.6+ (I hope - in process now). The other is that mozo now requires python >= 3.5. While I managed to get SCLo rh-python35 into the mock chroot and the appropriate commands into the spec file, it would still not build because the rpm script processing python files was looking for /usr/bin/python3.5. Rather than figure out how to do this in mock, I built the rpm outside mock in an "scl enable"'d terminal and with /usr/bin/python3.5 a link to /opt/rh/rh-python35/... Other than that I think I had to update one patch because the source files changed, and create another because some construct in C code requires C99; but it was easy to rewrite for older C (I'm putting this one down to sloppy coding by mate developers). Some rpms required updated build reqs. All of this is relative to the 1.20 rpms I built back in December, which are in turn based on 1.16 from EPEL. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Since it's your program you have the source code.
printf is your friend.
Start adding printf statements (to console and/or to a file at your option)
with status reports ("widget counting executing", "addition function
executing", "huge explosion executing") and use that to find out where it
quits. Add more printf's as needed to narrow it down.

OK, more information.
Found a recipe to cause systemtap to emit a line of text identifying
the sender of the SIGKILL.
probe signal.send {
if (sig_name == "SIGKILL")
printf("%s was sent to %s (pid:%d) by %s uid:%d\n",
sig_name, pid_name, sig_pid, execname(), uid())
unfortunately, it says the program is killing itself:
SIGKILL was sent to myprog (pid:12269) by myprog uid:1000
So,... now I'm wondering how one figures that out. nowhere in my
source code does it explicitly raise any signal, much less SIGKILL.
So there must be some underlying library or system call or something
doing it.

What kind of "quirks" did you run into? well, in theory I'd welcome a newer MATE, since I can't stand Gnome 3.x. I'm using the epel versions and find them satisfactory, but I might be willing to build a testing VM and try a later version to see if I like it. and if I do like it would consider installing it on my "real" C7 system.

[CentOS] Virtual manager and vhdx
I am trying to find out if Virtual Manager or qemu directly can take a Hyper v vhdx file and use it "as is"... I desire to not boot windows, update the vhdx image I have created, etc... I'd rather just have the vhdx image sitting on linux, boot the virtual manager with the vhdx file, update what I need to update and shut back down. Is that possible ? Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Making windows box talking to UNIX print server its native language makes the most robust setup. It is, however not turned on by default. So (adjust to your version as Microsoft reshuffles location of all the same tools with ever release): Control Panel —> Programs and Features —> Enable/disable features In the long list there is Printing, click on it to expand, and enable LPR and LPD Now when creating printer choose to create new local port, choose LPR (or does it say LPD?) port and give your CUPS server name, and queue name. The rest is as usual (choose printer driver, I prefer postscript ones). You should be done now. Incidentally, I use CUPS with LPD listening on the server side, as the last makes the most robust setup for variety of clients. We have FreeBSD server, and client systems are: FreeBSD, Linux (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu), Windows, MacOS. I hope, this helps.

Thank you for the suggestion. After discussing this with the original
author of the article, the following description taken from the RHEL
documentation has been added:
"The file name /etc/grub2.cfg is a symbolic link to the grub.cfg file,
whose location is architecture dependent. It is better to use absolute
paths when accessing to a file, as in the example above, especially
when repairing a system."
