I also experienced that bugs. And finally i installed minimal centOS 7, then i run upgrade to centOS 8. Be carefull for old computers, before you reboot after upgrade make sure that your Internet is still working after reboot.

Re: [CentOS] pdftotext latest version for CentOS 7
On 12/14/19 7:28 PM, H wrote: I have pdftotext 0.26.5, the current version for CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop as far as I can ascertain. The page https://www.xpdfreader.com/pdftotext-man.html seems to suggest that the latest version is 4.02 which seems a gigantic leap ahead. Since I have a Chinese text PDF which I am unable to extract any text from using pdftotext, instead I end up with a collection of garbage Latin characters, I am curious how to get a later version? Copying and pasting from Atril 1.16.1 (seems to be part of the Mate desktop I am running) also makes me end up with garbage... Not surprising since it also seems to use pdftotext 0.26.5... Any suggestions? Later version of pdftotext? If so, wherefrom? Another PDF-viewer? pdftotext is distributed as part of the poppler package, which as you suggest is at 0.26.5. However, the latest version of poppler is 0.83.0. And the man page for pdftotext on EL7 suggests it is at version 3.03, which is not quite so dramatic a difference. In any case, welcome to the joys of running an enterprise distribution. You'll find newer versions in EL8 or Fedora. It's an integral core component of the system so generally not updated lightly. -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Wonky Firefox 68.0.1esr upgrade
A short update on this problem. I just applied patches to bring FF to 68.3.0esr. The flickering is still there, a bit, but at least I can input COMPLETE passwords when prompted. Oddly the flickering now seems to be more site dependent than previously.
