For the record, I don't think this is a good decision because it changes what CentOS is (its "core mission" in business-speak).

I experimented with networked home directories for laptop users for a while and never managed to find anything that resembled a nice experience. Even on Windows it mostly sucks. I don’t expect this reality has changed much. I would instead look at cloud sync clients. The open source Linux OneDrive client is pretty good these days for example. Of course the “cloud” end can also be on-premise using OwnCloud or NextCloud or whatever the latest cool thing is. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] log4j12 package in CentOS 8
According to the RHEL docs, package log4j was replaced with package log4j12 in RHEL 8.0. However, when I attempt to install the package in CentOS 8, dnf cannot find it.

Re: [CentOS] Help with multi-monitor Xorg stuff
I spoke too soon with this. I can't get it to work properly with a
hand-crafted xorg.conf file. As Gnome seems to automatically detect
all the monitors OK, can anyone recommend a window manager I can use
with CentOS 7 that will allow me to start independent full-screen
kiosk browser sessions from a script, specifying which monitor to use
each time?

Re: [CentOS] Help with multi-monitor Xorg stuff
Cracked this. The solution was that I needed to specify the correct
driver ("radeon") in the xorg conf file to use the open source driver,
e.g.
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
All the other bits from the conf file I could keep the same as before.

[CentOS] Help with multi-monitor Xorg stuff
I have an unusual use case. I wonder if anyone can help. We use a PC
with 8 HDMI outputs for powering a video wall in an operations centre.
We use two Matrox video cards, each with 4 outputs. "lspci" reports
these cards as" [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [FirePro W600]".
On an older version of CentOS 7, I used the proprietary AMD/ATI
driver. This had a utility (I roorget the name) that generated a
working xorg.conf file. I could them throw up the
"matchbox-window-manager" on each monitor in turn using
"DISPLAY=:0.0", "DISPLAY=:0.1" etc and then throw up a full-screen
chrome web browser in kiosk mode on each monitor after that. This all
worked great.
In a recent version of CentOS 7, this all broke. The proprietary
driver no longer works. The good news is that the open source driver
seems to work fine with multi-monitor in Gnome for example.
My only issue is that I don't want to use Gnome across multiple
monitors. I want to use matchbox-window-manager or similar, and
specify individual X screen (":0.0", ":0.1" etc). How do I generate
an xorg.conf file with the new open source drivers? Am I doing this
all wrong?
Thanks!
