Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.6 on my HP Pavilion DM1 laptop. The wireless card is only poorly supported in the default setup, so I decided to write an installation script for the Linux-STA driver, which works perfectly. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/blob/master/6.x/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta.sh Grab the files: # git clone https://github.com/kikinovak/centos Run the script: # cd

I recently joined that list and wanted to publish a simple link to my technical blog dedicated to CentOS (http://kikinovak.wordpress.com). There's no commercial interest behind it,

Hi everybody, I'm back to CentOS after a long period during which I've been using mainly Slackware. I still use Slackware for teaching and for my local clients (on servers and desktops), but right now, I'm planning to update my own documentation about CentOS, which is still based on version 5.x. First things first. For the moment I have a sandbox server in my office with a

Hi everyone, I just discovered something very weird on a vanilla CentOS 7 installation. If I create a link to /tmp as a normal user, it looks like I can't remove this link anymore. Here's what this looks like: $ mkdir test_link $ cd test_link/ $ ln -s /tmp/ link_to_tmp $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 kikinovak kikinovak 5 Sep 17 10:56 link_to_tmp -> /tmp/ $ rm link_to_tmp/

Hi, I set up a webserver with Apache on one of the machines on the local network. There's a DNS configured for the LAN, with a dummy domain name (presbytere.local), and every machine is pingable by its hostname. The webserver runs on the machine 'buildbox'. The webserver actually has two (static) websites on it, for testing and fiddling purposes. Each site's pages are stored

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Samba, trying to make it work on CentOS 7. Before that, I ran Samba successfully in a mixed environment with Slackware64 14.1 on the server and Slackware/Windows Seven on the client side. I have three sandbox machines running CentOS 7. One has a minimal install with only the samba and samba-client packages. Just to be on the safe side for fiddling,

Hi, I just sanded down the remaining edges of my CentOS 7 post-install configuration script and published it on a Github repository, along with some detailed instructions. * https://github.com/kikinovak/centos-setup Feel free to use it (and/or adapt it to your needs).

Hi, I just spent two rainy days writing and fine-tuning a post-installation script for CentOS 7 and KDE. https://github.com/kikinovak/centos-7-desktop-kde I've just tested it on three different machines here, and it works quite nicely. Feel free to give it a spin and make some suggestions. Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'?glise - 30730

Hi, I'm currently installing CentOS 7 on a client's Dell Inspiron laptop. Here's the video card: # lspci | grep -i vga 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Hi, I wanted to create an account on bugs.centos.org to report a minor but annoying bug with Dolphin. After trying to register by providing the login (kikinovak) and email address (info at microlinux.fr), I'm told that the email is already in use. Uh oh. Maybe I already created an account years ago and then forgot about it. So I click on the field for forgotten passwords, only to be told

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'm currently setting up a local FTP server, to receive disk images sent with G4L (Ghost4Linux). This server has been running Slackware Linux before, and the Vsftpd setup was relatively simple. With CentOS things seem to be slightly different, so I'm currently trying to work things out. For the moment, two things seem to be creating problems, the simple iptables firewall and

Hi, I installed Roundcube 1.4.1 on a sandbox server running CentOS 7, Postfix and Dovecot, with half a dozen test email accounts. Mail is setup correctly under the hood, e. g. I can access any account via Thunderbird for sending and receiving mail. And SELinux is set to permissive until everything works correctly. I took some notes (in french) on the installation procedure under CentOS : *

Hi, I like working with transparent terminals. Unfortunately, this feature seems to have been removed from GNOME Terminal in CentOS 7. Anybody knows if there's a workaround to get it back?

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with Samba on a few sandbox machines. On the server side, I have setup CentOS 7 with a basic Samba setup and two shares, one public, the other password-protected. I have two Windows 7 boxes in my network, and I can access the shares perfectly, log in to the password-protected share, read and write files, so this seems to work OK. On my main Linux workstation
