I am getting ready to push a -383 kernel in a few minutes (if you
still need an update)

Right now...kernel 4.18.0-373 is absolutely useless. Boots then goes out
to lunch. Period.

Given your reply about a new kernel -- and I see other updates as well.

Centos 8 was SUPPOSED to be out of service in Dec, 2021. I was not
paying attention to this. UGH!

So...what can we expect in terms of ANY updates to the CentOS 8 line at
this point?

2022-04-23 Thread Kay Schenk

Thanks Johnny...

I did in fact use grub2-editenv 2 days ago thinking my elimination of
the i915_alpha module on the 4.18.0-373 command line would permanently
get rid of it. I was shocked when it seemed to come back.

and I note on --

https://www.golinuxcloud.com/update-grub2-grubby-grub2-editenv-rhel-8/

that grub2-mkconfig which I find easier has some issues ... 

I'll try again.

Thanks.

Thanks Johnny.

And to Joshua -- my hardware is NOT REAL recent. This said, I WAS HAVING
a lot of thermal issues in the past few months. After tweaking things
in my BIOS, updating my BIOS and uninstalling a fair amount of services
I wasn't using that were doing nothing but using up cycles, etc., I
think I'm good now.

Folks interested in this issue can watch this bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2037807

We're waiting for systemd-239-55.el8 sources to show up after 
which we
will build this and publish to CentOS Stream. Right now this 
appears
to be an infrastructure issue and the appropriate folks are 
working on
that, but we also want this package to pass the proper checks 
before

we build.


I am doing a compose with this version of systemd in it right 
now. Should be released later today.

___


OK .. I am currently releasing an 8-stream compose with 
systemd-239-55.el8 .. but it does not fix this unpriv ping issue.


I checked internally and it is also a problem on the rhel build 
for this systemd version, so not an issue introduced by the 
CentOS Stream build.


This  version of systemd should be available in a couple hours on 
mirror.centos.org.




OK .. to fix this issue until we get a build that fixes it:

Edit /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf

take out the minus sign (-) in this line:

-net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0 2147483647




Is this "minus" a typo? I guess ...

While yum update i get:

Couldn't write '0 2147483647' to '-net/ipv4/ping_group_range', 
ignoring: No such file or directory


I do not know if it is a typo or not (maybe a functionality I don't 
know about) .. but if I remove the dash and save the file, 
everything works as expected.


It is the only option in that file with a dash.




OK .. the minus sign is intentional .. but the functionality to mkae 
it work is not yet in the packages.  See this bug for details:


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2037807


So the two fixes are to not upgrade iputils and exclude it in your dnf 
config .. OR .. to take out he minus sign until the issue is fixed.


Thanks for this info. I had a perplexing experience just now. 



Or live with suod/root only for ping

[CentOS] Graphic setup issues...help wanted

2021-01-10 Thread Kay Schenk

The problem. I can NOT change my screen resolution from GUI. I boot to 
multi-user, then get "into" graphical.


First, some background.

My original install of CentOS 8 -- maybe 8.2? -- about 3 months ago -- 
went pretty well but I kept having lockup issues. No issues with 
graphics using intel graphics  or sound using either aplay at command 
line or GDM. (I also have NVIDIA which I have not configured.)


I upgraded to 8.3 at some point. Still all OK with graphics but still 
lock up issues.


At some point, I decided to start completely over and did a clean 
install of 8.4. I am now using CentOS8 Stream as my primary repo.


Some questions?

When I first boot, where is the probe of my video card done? Looking at 
DMESG, I couldn't determine this.


When I "start" graphical, I get the following messages which are 
apparently related, from Xorg.1.log module loading section...

[CentOS] Is EPEL compatible with Stream?

2021-01-03 Thread Kay Schenk


Hello all--

All good in the Stream for me. :)

Because Stream will tend to be more "forward moving" than previous 
CentOS releases, is it still OK to set up EPEL as a repo? So far, I've 
only installed terminus fonts from CentOS 8 EPEL, but I'm just wondering 
about this. Generally, are there any cautions against enabling specific 
repos to use with Stream?

Re: [CentOS] Sound/missing sof firmware in CentOS since 8.4

2020-12-22 Thread Kay Schenk


Hell again --

I finally fixed my no sound with no firmware issue for my built-in Intel 
controlled speakers. I'm running on Stream 8 now. DNF was NOT picking up 
the two alsa packs I needed from -- 
http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/ (just 
a random mirror)


But there they were...

alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm 
<http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm>


and

alsa-sof-firmware-debug-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm 
<http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/alsa-sof-firmware-debug-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm>


So I downloaded the rpms and installed with dnf using

dnf --allowerasing install (path to 
rpm)/alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm 
<http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm>


etc...

This kept my existing alsa main in tact and just added the firmware files.

Now on to other issues -- playing .wav files without benefit of GUI.

This is not a production operating system."



Does he say that CentOS is a production operating system?

As far as I know, Red Hat has never endorsed running CentOS in 
production, so I don't understand why it's significant that they also 
don't endorse running CentOS Stream in production.


I'm happy you made this point. Yes, CentOS is asssumed to be as 
"stable"  as the release it's based on, but there are changes.


I think it's good to keep this in mind and consider an actual RH license 
if 100% stability and compatibility are the goals.







And even if I reduce the number of CentOS Stream upgrades to
minimal one, the base advantage of CentOS is lost: predictability.



It's really difficult for me to look at a distribution that just stops 
getting updates for 4-6 weeks, twice a year, and use the word 
"predictable" to describe it.


My first reaction to the announcement was pretty negative, too. But 
when I stepped back and looked at the current situation *real* 
honestly, I had to admit that CentOS just doesn't offer any of the 
things that people are complaining about losing.


And I hope that the CentOS maintainers don't interpret that as 
criticism, because it isn't intended to be.  They've always maintained 
that if you need updates/patches in a timely manner, then you should 
be paying Red Hat for RHEL.  I agreed with them then, and I still do.

To: CentOS mailing list 


This is a quick recovery and fix for the machines rendered unbootable
after the grub2/shim yum update.

It is written for CentOS 8.2.2004 but similar should work for any CentOS
8 or 7 as long as you get the correct shim file,
that is, the one from the latest installation media.

I am running on an x86_64 architecture (see uname -i). Please use the
correct shim file for your architecture (shim--15-11.el8..rpm)

I have tested this by breaking a machine and then recovering it. It
works for me.

I hope someone finds it useful. Let me know.

HOW TO BOOT AN UNBOOTABLE MACHINE
=

1) Download a copy of rEFind. This is a UEFI boot manager. Burn it to a
USB key.

# wget -O refind.zip
http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.12.0/refind-flashdrive-0.12.0.zip/download
# unzip refind.zip
# cd refind-flashdrive-0.12.0
# dd if=refind-flashdrive-0.12.0.img bs=4096 of=/dev/sdX (sdX is the
device for your USB key, this will be erased, use the whole device use
sdX not sdX1)
1800+0 records in
1800+0 records out
7372800 bytes (7.4 MB, 7.0 MiB) copied, 0.980893 s, 7.5 MB/s

2) Turn off secureboot in your UEFI hardware.

3) Boot the USB key. You should get a colourful screen with icons and a
filename below.

Use the left/right arrow keys to select the correct grubx64.efi.
Hit space to boot.

Your usual grub menu should appear and the system should boot normally.

HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM
=

1) We need to downgrade the shim package. Now your system is running get
an older copy of the correct shim package for your architecture
from the CentOS installation media (e.g.
CentOS-8.2.2004-x86_64-dvd1.iso) and install it.

# mount CentOS-8.2.2004-x86_64-dvd1.iso /mnt
# cd /mnt/BaseOS/Packages
# cp shim-x64-15-11.el8.x86_64.rpm /root
# cd /root
# umount /mnt

OR

Get the package from a CentOS mirror:

# cd /root
# wget
http://ucmirror.canterbury.ac.nz/linux/CentOS/8.2.2004/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/shim-x64-15-11.el8.x86_64.rpm

2) We can now reinstall the older shim package using yum. This will
downgrade the package to the working version.

# yum install shim-x64-15-11.el8.x86_64.rpm

3) Your system should now boot normally.

reinstalled.  You should now be able to run 'yum update'. Remove the
exclude= when a proper fix becomes available.

Re: [CentOS] Boot failed on latest CentOS 7 update

2020-08-01 Thread Kay Schenk

Questions re this statement in the ZDNET article --

"In all cases, users reported that downgrading systems to a previous
release to reverse the BootHole patches usually fixed their problems."

 A previous release of what? GRUB2

So that's my first question.

Second. I'm assuming the the muti-screen UEFI settings I see are standard
for more recent BIOS -- not sure of version. Do we have any guidance for
that?

If it is the case that a downgrade to previous grub2 can fix the problem --
and not latest kernel? Does this matter? -- maybe booting from your chosen
"rescue" option AND reinstalling older grub (somehow) can get us further
along.

Well I thought I had made some progress yesterday and was actually able to
ping my computer AND the old DSL modem. Unfortunately, I think my network
card has actually died now. 

Switched back to an old Ethernet cable and same result.

Thanks for all the help. My research led me to all sorts of useful
information on network naming schemes.

I did this with a new network profile and activated it, but no good. I need

Actually the router WAS between the modem and my desktop until I took
things apart and the router Was not part of the equation. I wanted to
verify the setup I had with JUST the modem, but I am at a loss on how to
get CentOS7 to access a "local" url on the same local network without
getting the "no network" business.

Currently the modem is only attached to my computer. The modem WAS attached
to a router in pass thru mode. I did a reset on the modem which should have
gotten it back to "normal" modem mode. Now it's directly connected to my
desktop -- no router. Once upon a time I could directly access the modem
interface through my browser, now I can not.

Hello all--
I'm in a bind trying to reset an older Nether DSL modem. I did a manual
reset on it. It was set up as "pass thru" by me and I want to "undo" that.
When I boot now, the joys of Network Manager!, I can not just enter the
modem manager IP address because I keep getting "network not accessible" .
HELP!

To our junior employee assigned to perform the install

the 14 pages of the CentOS 7 man page for rpm.

Well I wouldn't called obvious, but the rpm man page has a "see also"
for rpmkeys(8) and this man page documents the rpm key related options.


Thanks for this info. Definitely NOT something anyone would know about! :/

I don't know how it came to be that rpm --import just quietly
does rpmkeys --import without documenting it though...

Seriously? I'd say that if it's not set up that way it has no business
being included in a stable release of anything, let alone an
"enterprise operating system"...

When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the
shell
will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing
dependency,

etc.

Actually, I'm talking about cases where there isn't or shouldn't be
anything going wrong at all. The rpms install just fine from the
command line.

- Toralf

There's a nice bit of info on creating "local" repos for rpm packs you
might want to install that are not availble in standard CentOS repos.

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalRepos

This section, esp --

* Create /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo

shows you syntax etc.

I set up a local repo for my install DVD some time ago, then set it to
"enabled=0" it when I was basically finished with it. There were packs
on it that didn't seem to exist in any other CentOS repo.

You really could use ANY gpg key and just disable the gpgchek I think.
In any case, this is a good approach and will provide you with a "gui"
interface for installing the local rpms stored in one area of your system.

Hope this helps,

Kay

It's still supported on C7:

I think you'll find the latest releases won't run on CentOS 7:

% ldd libflashplayer.so
./libflashplayer.so: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not
found (required by ./libflashplayer.so)

and hence Firefox won't load this version ...

The last version that runs on CentOS 7 is 32.0.0.270

See: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FP-4199058

Adobe have recently released Flash 32.0.0.330 - which works OK on CentOS
6/7

Thanks for lettings us know, I already gave up checking as they didn't
manage to fix it for so many weeks.

Seems they finally found out that upgrading their build hosts to the
latest greatest distribution was not the smartest idea :-)

Hi all --

Yes, I too just got an update on Flash 32.0.0.330

pushed to my system. Firefox seems to recognize it as a plugin and it works 
fine.

Trying to install the plugin provided by Adobe site wasn't successful for me.:-(

[CentOS] Need info on adobe flash player plugin 32 for CentOS7

2020-01-16 Thread Kay Schenk


Hello all--

I kept getting messages that my old Flash Player 31 was obsolete so I 
went in search of an update.


I came across several references for getting flash plugin 32 that 
basically were the same as this page --


https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

However, it seems the site --

|http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/ does NOT resolve. Does anyone have any 
insight into how to install Flash Player Plugin v 32 on CentOS 7? |

Re: [CentOS] Wonky Firefox 68.0.1esr upgrade

2019-12-15 Thread Kay Schenk

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.

YAY! How to close X on Centos7 with a keyboard sequence solved!

Chapter 13 RedHat Desktop Migration and Administration gives
instructions for setting up Ctrl+Alt+Backspace as the escape from X!
Just followed the instructions and worked great!

You couldn’t log in on another VT and kill the other session? Or just

If you started your X11 session on virtual terminal 1 in text mode

naturally does nothing.

Your other virtual consoles (2..8) are still there in text mode and you
cat move to them using the normal key combinations. When you exit your
X11 session, console 1 will return to text mode.

2019-10-29 Thread Kay Schenk


Problem solved from kuna236 on Reddit discussion...(see comments)

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/cbnesc/firefox_68_password_field_blinks/

FYI. For just testing, I copied my new firefox.desktop from 
/usr/local/share/applications to my local Desktop folder, and gave it a 
new name. Did not do the update-desktop-database yet. (Original 
firefox.desktop file in /usr/share/applications.) All good!


--- details from kuna236---

For anyone else out there trying to modify their |.desktop| file, I 
copied my |/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop| to 
|/usr/local/share/applications/| and prepended |env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim| 
to the |Exec=| lines.


|Exec=env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox %u |

Then ran |sudo update-desktop-database|.

I struggled for a little while because I forgot to include |env| in my 
|Exec|, and Firefox stopped showing up in my applications menu. Figured 
I'd post it here in case anyone else was making the same mistake.

I would love to jump on C8 and start playing with it, but the lack of Mate is

Is gnome3 really that bad :D

As much as I was tempted to try Mate, I decided using Gnome might be 
better in the long run. Using Gnome 3 "classic" with a "startx" start 
which has issues in terms of everything working right as opposed to gdm, 
but, well, this is what I wanted to do. I just wish Gnome 3.28 was more 
configurable without a lot of work.





I decided to just bite the bullet and shift to real gnome3 (and not the
classic) about 4 years ago.  It waas different and took some time to
learn .. BUT .. I can do everything I need to do now.

I like both mate and cinnamon .. so I am not knocking either one. I just
think people might be well server switching to a 'supported' desktop in
the longer run.

Again .. don't get me wrong .. it's open source, so do what makes you

How to add an application icon to gnome 3 classic desktop on centos 8?

Using firefox as an example,

or

ln -s /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop $(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)/


I've already tried something like this but the icon is that of a text
document and it just opens as text when clicked. Do I have to install a
shell extension for this to work?
I got the first approach to work for me, the cp command. That being 
said, I'm on CentOS 7.7 with gnome 3.28. Supposedly you CAN INSTALL an 
extension to get you back to a right mouse click to add an application 
to your icon to your desktop, but this requires gnome 3.30. The lack of 
something easier to do this is truly annoying. I feel your pain!

This is just the first screen of it, there are many more. The data
compiled here is for the last month (rsyslog is keeping the current
log plus four older logs). I find it disturbing that there were 12251
attempts at telnet during that time, 2154 on 8080, and so forth. either
I'm some kind of special/hot target, or else everybody gets this kind
of crap and may not even know it.

But the one thing I mean to ask about here is the very first item,
140,750 attempts at port 48825. What the heck is port 48825? I can't
find any reference to anything that uses it online, but for some reason
it is extremely popular, at least amongst the turkeys trying to break
into my network!

A little more grepping:

grep 'DPT=48825' Firewall-Log* | grep -o "SRC=[09123456789.]*" | sort -u -t '.' -k 
"1.5g,1g" | less

reveals that of all the source addresses trying to poke at 48825,
there are 193 unique addresses. Either this indicates a heck of a lot
of sites having at my firewall, or that some few sites are all spoofing
their addresses. I can sort of understand people whaling away at ports
that may conceal gold, from their warped point of view, but I haven't a
clue why so many people would be beating on some apparently unassigned
and unused port.

Anyone got any clues?

Thanks in advance!

[CentOS] polkit-gnome-0.106 with CentOS 7.5 ???

2018-11-04 Thread Kay Schenk

What can anyone tell me about the polkit-gnome package that came with 
CentOS 7.5? Looking at the Fedora pack for the same, it seems like I'm 
missing pieces of this package.


Re: 
https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/p/polkit-gnome-0.106-0.1.20170423gita0763a2.el7.x86_64.html


I start my gui session with startx instead of GDM. I am having a lot of 
authentication issues at the moment. I am somewhat familiar with dealing 
with polkit but mostly things are not working well at all.


On an older version of openSUSE I once used with systemd, I started up a 
kde-polkit-integration app as part of my X session init, in a local 
.xinit file.

Should I do the same with the supplied polkit-gnome provided?

Any insights much appreciated. Thanks.

My reaction to GNOME 3 has been roughly the same as with systemd. At
first, I hated it with a passion. Then I saw everyone else seemed to use
it. So I started to read the docs and experiment a little bit. And now
I'm using it on a daily basis, and to my bewilderment, I've grown to
like it.


What really did me in when I was trying to like it, the scroll bars were 
gone and I was told they could be put back in place with configuration. 
So I tried to find the configuration option and couldn't find it. Then I 
was told that I had to hand-code CSS to get them back.


Oy! Yes I am still NOT loving gnome3 since my CentOS7 install in 
mid-Sept. I would install Mate but...always wary of branches like that 
that might not have continued development support.




I installed MATE the very next day.

I did briefly try it again a few month ago and I just can't figure it 
out. It's like it is trying to be a tablet OS or something, but I'm not 
using a touchscreen, I'm using a mouse and keyboard

James,
Hi and I think you are right on with this analysis. I suspect my
fontconfig  utilty isn't working correctly to add new fonts or maybe
Mozilla doesn't install in the right config area. When I start up FF 52.8,
no error messages about fonts. The de-install seemed to correct this, among
other things.

In answer to Liam's question re gedit -- then answer is NO -- no bad
output.

I am on 32-bit CentOS 6.10 at the moment. I HAD to switch back to FF 52.8
because 60.1 just really wasn't working. So, I won't be doing any more
testing with 60.1 *for a while*.

Yet another issue with this new browser.

Going back to FF 52.8.  This new version is just unworkable for me.

I'm having the same problem as stated in the original thread -- re saving
images. BAH!

Also, I can't seem to "undo" the fonts FF 60.1 wants to use and I'll
invietigate that further at some point.

So far, I am not happy with this new version.

We could use some additional details.

I have CentOS 6.9 installed with pulse-audio and my gnome 2 desktop, and 
everything works well with this environment. I pretty much always test 
with Firefox and youtube. Sites with embedded with video also work fine 
for me.

 Silly thought: if you *have* that package installed, and want to 
upgrade

 it... what repo does rpm -qi internet-browser tell you it's from.


See my previous reply -- it DOES not show up in an rpm query. I am 
not using konqueror. I will try to track this down further. It MUST 
be an alias that's set up in gnome.


 I don't suppose there's any chance that it could be the konqueror
 browswer?


Surely this isn't anything complicated?

gpk-application. It does NPT show up either through the yum repos or
rpm. Is it some kind of system alias? It's 128.9 MB.

Yesterday, when I was having so much trouble with the latest FF 52, I
uninstalled internet-browser thing which also uninstalled FF 52. OK, all
good. I cleared my yum cache, then re-installed FF 45. This item came
back through gpk-application. Rather confused at this point.

I'm on CentOS 6.9, 32 bit.


Silly thought: if you *have* that package installed, and want to upgrade
it... what repo does rpm -qi internet-browser tell you it's from.


See my previous reply -- it DOES not show up in an rpm query. I am not 
using konqueror. I will try to track this down further. It MUST be an 
alias that's set up in gnome.





I don't suppose there's any chance that it could be the konqueror browswer?

I can’t find any packages called 'internet-browser’ for CentOS6 or 7, in either 
the base repos or EPEL. pkgs.org doesn’t know about it either.

Yes, lack of documentation is a big bug-a-boo in my mind also. However, I
do think working with systemd is a bit like working with udev

 hooks. My first experience with systemd was probably back in late 2011.
In any case, the RH documentation on it may be beneficial at this point:


https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/chap-Managing_Services_with_systemd.html

or maybe take a look at the Fedora projects info:

Re: [CentOS] sound problems... alsa & systemd?

2017-04-02 Thread Kay Schenk

HI. OK. I had a bit more time to check things out. I have full pulseaudio
installed on my setup under CentOS 6.8, including the hooks from alsa to
pulseaudio and hooks to pulseaudio from X server. Additionally, I have
PulseAudio Sound System in my startup applications from Centos 6.8, Gnome
2. That is what I had to manually cobble up on openSuSE.

Best of luck.

The /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf file consists of one line:

Still only 6.8 on the mirror link you gave near as I can see.
And, since I'm still on 32-bit ( no time to move on right now),
will a 32-bit be included in 6.9?



Yes, there are i386 and x86_64 rpms in 6.9.



My read, and poking, is that what was released is the CR repo, and
that these will be released to production (as 6.9) "shortly". If you
enable the CR repo on your 6.x machine I believe you'll see these
updates, and can install them if you want to check things out. My
experience is that there will likely be a few updates from the CR
when the production set is released.

If you go to:

   http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.8/cr/<i386|x86_64>/Packages/

you'll see that there are packages for both 32- and 64-bit, so you
should be getting 32-bit updates that will take you up to 6.9.


Right.  As Richard explained, CR goes in the current release (in this
case, 6.8) and it is an 'optional way' to get the majority of the
packages in the next release (in this case 6.9) early.  It usually takes
between 1 and 3 weeks to go from all the SRPMs are built to a fully
installable tree and fully tested ISOs.  In that interim period, if you
want to get the RPMs early .. just for updating 6.8 current systems, not
new installs, we created CR.  More about what CR is and how to use it:

https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR

In this case, anaconda and centos-release are the only two SRPMs that
are not released to 6.8/CR that are actually in 6.9.

anaconda because it usually requires tweaking and multiple rebuilds to
get it working correctly every point release cycle and its main purpose
is to build the new install tree, which is not needed in CR.

centos-release because that actually changes the redhat-release file in
/etc/ to say 6.9 instead of 6.8 .. something we don't want until 6.9 is
officially released.

It is looking more and more likely that we will do the official release
on Monday. April 3rd, 2017.  The QA team has been testing and we have
what I think is the final install tree and the final install ISOs.

The only piece left is the Live Media (LiveCD, LiveDVD), which I am
working on now actually.  The release could be seeded and ready on
Friday .. but we'll wait and do it on Monday to save some SysAdmins
their time at home over the weekend and they can do upgrades next week :)

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes



Thanks (again) Johnny. You, et. al., rock.



Yep! Johnny and co. DO rock! :)
OK, thanks for this update. I'll just wait until Apr. 3, no worries!

Thanks for the reply. The "normal" plug-ins are fine. It's the "Add-Ons"
that are my problem. I've got some "odd" ones, and am still trying to
determine if some of my privacy setting  might have any bearing. So far, no
joy with the ones I've tried, even checking Mozilla's black list, etc. 


If I discover anything more worthwhile in this regard, I'll re-post here.

[CentOS] Problems with latest Firefox update -- can't install new extensions

2017-02-12 Thread Kay Schenk

Since the latest Firefox update to 45.7.0 on my CentOS 6.8 system, I can 
no longer install add-ons/extensions. Things LOOK like they're working

Definitely! I've also generated a skeleton xorg.conf manually for testing
at init level 3 using the following instructions (log in as root):

CentOS release 6.8 (Final)

I've been able to print to this printer with no issues, until this
evening.  When I tried to send a print job the job just sat in the print
queue.  I killed the job and deleted the printer, then re-installed the
printer using the Printer configuration tool found under
System/Administration/Printing.


"until this evening"...so that's interesting.

I'm also on CentOS 6.8 but 32-bit using the same hplip version. Normally 
I do printer setup with hp-setup, then use the web interface to cups to 
add it in to that environment.


Also, add hp-systray to your startup apps if you haven't already.




I've tried all manner of settings, both on the Libre Office document and
in the Printer configuration tool.  Now I can print to the printer but I
cannot get the printer to print in Landscape orientation.  Only portrait
orientation comes out no matter what settings I choose.


Does portrait work with ANY other type of document -- pdf, for example?



I've done a bit of Google work but I find nothing that appears
applicable to my specific issue of not getting landscape prints no
matter what setting I choose.




The HPLIP web site says the latest version of hplip for my machine, RHEL
6 because they apparently have not heard of CentOS, is
hplip-3.16.9_rhel-6.0.x86_64.  CentOS does not have this version
available in the repo.

What's a guy to do?  Windows should be this hard to work with, but not
Linux.

I use rpm -qa --last

Once you get this you can query the individual package files, etc.

Copy that. I do realize the sane thing to do is to have the builbots --
smoketest environments -- match the production environment, which
currently is spec'd at CentOS 5.x. Unfortunately, I don't have direct
control over some of this.

[CentOS] I need glibc 2.19+ for 32 bit CentOS 6.8 or CentOS7

2016-08-24 Thread Kay Schenk

Hello all--

Due to a proposed changeover to build machines for a project I'm
involved with, I need at least glib 2.19. Right now I have glib 2.12,
and even on CentOS7-32 bit, what I see is glib 2.14. Is a higher glib
available anywhere that might work with my current 6.8. I see I can
download it from SourceForge but I am wondering what the results might me.

I really like CentOS and would hate to change distros at this point,
but, well, it might come to that. :(

Any advice truly appreciated.

Gee! I have been tearing my hair out with Thunderbird since the latest
update.
It seems no matter what I do from my gnome2 Application Preferences to
tell TB to use my default browser, firefox, pretty much NOTHING happens
to links in email unless FF is already open.

This new desktop file you referenced here actually works -- well mostly.
It at least asks me to choose an app for links and says I can change it
through prefences -- well now I can once it's entered SOMETHING.
There seems to be NO way to add default app. GRRR!

OK, at least this is a start. I have NO idea why the 45.2 TB has caused
so much grief!

Nor have I seen any additional information. So how is this going?

We have moved it into place here, which is where it is going to live

Well I have not gotten to this. Since this is a "community" distro, are

CentOS 7 64-bit?


I don't readily see anything like a SIG mailing list or I'd ask there.

Thanks.







I am working on a wiki page now and we are still doing some testing, but
the 32 bit arch should be completely usable right now and installable
(in its final form) from these isos:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

The 2 bugs listed in the link above are still there:

1.  If installing on a QEMU (kvm) i386 VM, you must modify the VM cpu to
use "copy host cpu"

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8748

2.  The gnome desktop will not exit or log out from the menu.

  http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8834

Both have workarounds listed.



um...hmmm...the non-logout from Gnome would certainly be a hassle for me,
but not the shutdown as I don't shutdown from GUI. OK, I will look further
into this before changing over.



The GUI logout works fine once you:

gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager logout-prompt false

Yes, and yes.

When we released the official 6.8 tree and isos, they will have a new
centos-release rpm.

If you continue to run updates against the CR repo, that will be the
only update you get when you switch.






I just did this update yesterday and everything is great! Thank you all

My lsb_release -a output says 6.8 but this was 10 days after the former
