Hi everyone, There's been discussions in the past about updating MATE RPMs in EPEL-7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1436260 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-August/173154.html (and lots of others...) As a proof-of-concept, I've written some scripts that clone specific commits from the Fedora master branches, and then runs a tool to re-apply RPM scriptlets

...in the RPMs (like setting the permissions on udev devices, etc.) but they're already usable. Before I spend more time on it, and submit it for inclusion in the "testing" repo, I thought I'd ask here if someone was already working on doing this. thanks! Greg Bailey gbailey at lxpro.com

Is anyone running the Opera browser on Centos 7 or 6? While not available in a yum-repository, it seems to be available as a snap-package. Not familiar with those yet but curious if the browser is worthwhile to run. I have generally found Firefox less useful/compatible than Chromium but would also like alternatives, particularly since Opera defaults to a VPN-connection.

I am planning to remove all the recovery partitions after backing up all drivers etc. on them. Lets see how it works out. Any caveats I should know about? Regards adj

Hello CentOS List, I have a server that has SysV script supplied by a hardware manufacturer, which is not functioning properly. From my reading, systemd-sysv-generator should handle them (like it did for Dell OpenManage software which supplied SysV init scripts). /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-sysv-generator Takes no or 3 arguments (it tells me), but I didn't find clear

I apologise if this is not the appropriate list for the following issue, but... Is it possible to upgrade the Linux kernel on a kickstart CD? I've changed the vmlinuz and initrd.img files in the isolinux directory from the distro's ISO image; so kernel 2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.i686 now boots from a DVD, and loads the appropriate modules and firmware from the stage 1 initrd.img. However,
