[CentOS-virt] Running graphical applications from CentOS headless vm
Hi all, I have installed a CentOS7 vm in my home server with all graphical tools installed: Gnome, Chrome, Tor Borwser, etc. My idea is to run these graphical applications from two MacOSX desktops. What I am looking for is something similar like Microsoft RDP services that supports copy and paste between client and server, sound, clipboard, etc ... I have seen a possible solution using xrdp: http://www.xrdp.org. But exists some other solution?? Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L.

[CentOS] Installing support for Chinese text in Centos 7
I have just done a minimal installation of Centos7 followed by X Windows and the Mate desktop on a workstation. Although the default language is English, I would like to be able to write Chinese text in various applications. I seem to remember this was very easy to do in Centos 6 and Gnome: possibly only requiring only a simple 'yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"' after which I could use iBus to switch between languages. This does not seem to work in Centos 7. Suggestions? Thank you. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] RHEL 8 speculation ???
Never been a fan of static linking. Exploit in a library and you have to rebuild everything that links against it. That's one of the problems in the android world. Some library is found to be vulnerable, it gets fixed, but a lot of apps on the play store remain vulnerable simply because the vendor never submitted a rebuild. That's also my beef with php composer, a lot of webapps lock the version of the library they use and composer happily grabs the crusty old version with its flaws. But anyway, not suggesting a whole new OS just because of gcc and boost. It's a trend I've been seeing where recently, more and more apps refuse to build become one or more of the build dependencies is too old. There's always a solution, but its nice when things just work. On 02/25/2017 10:31 AM, Yan Li wrote: We use GCC 6 from SoftwareCollection 6 and build our own Boost libraries with static linking. The result binaries work on all C7 instances just fine without the need to install any extra packages. The binary size isn't bloated too much by statically linking Boost, because many Boost functions are header templates anyway (but your mileage may vary). Not sure if you have other dependencies but we never feel the need to upgrade the whole OS just to get a newer GCC and Boost.

I'm working on a major project bitcoin related and it would be frustrating to deploy a bunch of CentOS 7 virtual machines only to have 8 come out fairly soon afterwards. I have no real information on this either .. but one thing to think about is that RHEL-7 is much less conservative with 'rebases' than the older RHEL versions. (Case in point, major shifts in Gnome, KDE, Xorg, etc.) With containers and software collections, and with more aggressive rebases in the Desktop space, I see the timelines becoming a little longer between major versions. Also, as others have said, I see no alpha or beta for RHEL-8 anywhere.

I'm guessing it is possible those patches haven't even been ported to the newer LibreOffice - I'll try building without them, but that is what was wrong with the never run autogen patch. I installed the CentOS src.rpm to get missing files and that also over-wrote some of the more current Fedora sources with the same name. Guess using GIT means version control in filenames themselves is no longer being used. Well in my quest to build rawhide libreoffice in CentOS 7 - I only have one more bad patch to deal with, I will try building without it. I don't like RPM using git to apply patches though. It was much easier when I could just look at the failed hunks to see what went wrong. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have no real information on this either .. but one thing to think about is that RHEL-7 is much less conservative with 'rebases' than the older RHEL versions. (Case in point, major shifts in Gnome, KDE, Xorg, etc.) With containers and software collections, and with more aggressive rebases in the Desktop space, I see the timelines becoming a little longer between major versions. Also, as others have said, I see no alpha or beta for RHEL-8 anywhere. RHEL-5 does go EOL at the end of March 2017, so I guess a beta could happen soon(ish). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It could be that the packagers did not want the patches distributed with the RHEL source packages as well (maybe something licensing related? Or not distributable as part of RHEL?). I agree that its annoying because you can’t take the RHEL srpm and rebuild on Fedora. -- Jonathan Billings ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'd expect the release of RHEL 8 no less than 6 months after a beta was released, and I haven't heard anything about a new beta release. It's probably not going to happen real soon. Having said that, I didn't realize until how close RHEL 7 is getting to the three-year mark. I wouldn't be surprised to see a beta 6-12 months from now, and a new release in 12-18 months. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Take a look at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/d35cef040ea408360c44950a23d813ed.png Given that, don't count on a release real soon. Furthermore, a RHEL release normally has a public beta period of at least 6 months or so. So, even if a public RHEL 8 beta would be released now (which is very unlikelely), CentOS 8 would not become available in 2017. -- --Jos Vos--X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Office: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Mobile: +31 6 26216181 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] RHEL 8 speculation ???
Is there any blog that has information on a potential RHEL 8 release date? boost in 7 is now too old for some things, in addition to gcc. There are solutions in 7 to those issues but it's starting to feel like 6 felt shortly before 7 came out, so I wonder if it is getting near to time. I'm working on a major project bitcoin related and it would be frustrating to deploy a bunch of CentOS 7 virtual machines only to have 8 come out fairly soon afterwards. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
