x2go on CentOS6
Has anyone managed to get the x2go server working on CentOS 6.7? I started testing x2go from EPEL under 6.6, and it worked well. Then I didn't use it in 6 months plus, eventually upgraded the machine to 6.7, and it's no longer working. Both Windows and Linux clients error out with "Connection failed. 0: Event not found." A Linux client run with the debug option reports:

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

I'm not an expert by any means, but I use letsencrypt (mostly for testing) and it's always worked for me in FreeBSD with Firefox, without any special effort on my part. You can try https://srobb.net which is using letsencrypt as its cert. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

Screen
Hey I like to use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E a lot to navigate my insane big bash one liners but this is incompatible with Screen which has a binding to Ctrl-A. Is it possible to move the screen binding so I can have the best of both worlds? Ta Andrew

[Slightly OT] Use CentOS to create a bootable Mac OS X DVD from dmg file?

Unfortunately the hardware didn't play well with CentOS (KDE would freeze with both the nouveau and the nvidia driver), but here's what I managed to do. https://blog.microlinux.fr/ubuntu-xen...

[Slightly OT] Use CentOS to create a bootable Mac OS X DVD from dmg file?
Hi, Sorry if this is only half-CentOS-related. In my office, I'm running CentOS on all my systems (server, workstation, laptop, sandbox PCs). A colleague brought me her MacBook Pro to upgrade it from OS X 10.5.7 to 10.11.6. I downloaded the 5.8 GB dmg file and now I wonder how to create a bootable DVD with this using only Linux tools. 1. Can I simply burn this as a data DVD with K3B? 2.

Netflix, CentOS-6 and Docker for the lazy
...st month, so thought there might be some interest in it. Currently, CentOS-6.x's version of nss is too old to work with Netflix. Last month, there were a few posts mentioning the possibility of running a more recent version of chrome in Docker, so I made my own lazy person's howto. http://srobb.net/rhnetflix.html -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
