similar to: Monitoring a remote server with Conky ?

Hi I've been using conky in conjunction with gcalcli on Scientific Linux 7 to display google calendar data on screen. In CentOS 8, I have set up the gcalcli part, but I can't find a conky rpm. Is anyone working on creating this for CentOS 8? There appears to be an rpm for fedora 28 onwards, but there are dependency issues. Can anyone help? -- Cheers Bill

Hi, I just installed and configured Conky, and I'd like to automatically launch it whenever I start a GNOME session. I expected to see some sort of Preferences>Launch Applications on Startup, some user-specific equivalent of rc.local, but there doesn't seem to be such an entry. Any suggestions? Niki

Hi, I just transformed an old Pentium III 500 into a headless jukebox. It's installed in the basement, near the stereo. There's only a base CentOS system on it (GNOME unchecked, package customization checked and then everything unchecked). From there on, I just installed the ALSA utils, and vorbis-tools. The machine is only supposed to do one thing (and to do it well, UNIX philosophy

Hi, My workstation is currently running Slackware Linux 14.1 64-bit, and I'm considering replacing that by CentOS 7, which I've already installed on my laptop. The PC has an NVidia GeForce GT 520 video card with two 19'' monitors attached to it. I'm using the proprietary 'nvidia' driver. I vaguely remember having read somewhere that RHEL/CentOS 7 with GNOME 3 had

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for documentation about the specificities of RHEL/CentOS 7.x. It can be either online or in printed book format, and I'm fluent in german, french and english. I have a good books about 5.x: "RHEL 5 Unleashed" from Sams, "Foundations of CentOS Linux" and "The Definitive Guide to CentOS", both from Apress. Can anyone

Hi, I'm using the SquidAnalyzer network analysis tool in combination with Squid. Up until now, I've been running Slackware Linux on my servers. I built a custom package that installs SquidAnalyzer to /var/www/vhosts/squidreport/html. Then I setup an Apache virtual host for SquidAnalyzer's pages. Since I'm migrating my servers from Slackware to CentOS, I'd like to build a

Hi, I wonder where - and eventually how - GNOME 3 stores its user preferences. I'd like to create a custom user profile, with slightly different settings than the default ones: * don't show home folder on ~/Desktop * don't show Trash * use custom default wallpaper * stretch wallpaper instead of zooming * use different default icon theme * etc. Until now I've done this

Hi, I often have to deal with relatively obsolete hardware in schools, public libraries, small town halls, etc. I still have a handful of CentOS 5.x installations around for these, but I wonder what CentOS 6.x desktop specs are, e. g. the minimum requirements (in terms of CPU and RAM) to reasonably run it. Will a battered first-generation P-IV with 512 MB RAM be sufficient? How much RAM does

Hi, I've been running Squid successfully on CentOS 7 (and before that on 6 and 5), and it's always been running nicely. I've been using it mostly as a transparent proxy filter in school networks. So far, I've only been able to filter HTTP. Do any of you do transparent HTTPS filtering ? Any suggestions, advice, caveats, do's and don'ts ? Cheers from the snowy South of

A few weeks back I built a new Centos 7 server from a 4 year old workstation PC, and a brand new HDD. This PC had no prior problems other than it ran Windows 7. Thew new HDD is because I'm planning to also use it as a Bacula storage device. For the moment is purely an AirPrint server, using CUPS and Avahi so is ide 99.9% of the time. My priblem is that twice now it has turned itself off,

Hi, On my workstation and my laptop I'm using KeePassXC to store login credentials for my websites. The database is stored in my OwnCloud share, so it's synchronized between my two computers. Ideally I'd like to have something similar for my servers, but command-line driven. I know these tools exist but I haven't tested them yet. What I have in mind is a command-line password

Hi, I'm using Centos 5.0 on my desktop, and I'm very happy with it. One question bothers me. I rebuilt a handful of apps, for example K3B to enable MP3 audio, or libshout and mpd, to enable streaming audio. Now what happens if these get updated? I guess the new version will squash my personal version. Is there a way to prevent these packages from being updated? Or how should I handle

Hi, This question is not exactly CentOS-related strictly speaking, but here goes. I'm running a few newsletter servers for myself and a handful of clients on public CentOS servers with PHPList. For the last twenty years or so I've followed the basic rule that mails should have no formatting whatsoever, only simple text. And now I wonder if that basic rule of netiquette also applies to

Hi, I've been working with Squid + SquidGuard for a few years, though only on Slackware. I'm currently transferring my proxy expertise to CentOS 7, and right now I'm having a little problem with that. Squid works perfectly so far as a transparent HTTP + HTTPS cache proxy. The next step is to add SquidGuard, so I installed it and edited the most basic /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf file
