Hi, A company I do some teaching for has a load of legacy hardware, among which a Dell Poweredge 1300 server. Rough specs: Pentium-III 500 MHz processor, 110 MB RAM, 3 x 9 GB SCSI disks. This thing is a dinosaur, and horribly loud, but apparently it takes a meteor strike to wipe it. I like using it for training purposes, mainly to poke fun at the Windows Server trainer, who complained that 8

Hi, My local server is running CentOS 7. The machine has two NICs and is acting as a gateway. For DHCP and DNS, I'm using Dnsmasq. I have a strange little problem with local hostname resolution. Before going into more details, here's my configuration. [root at nestor:~] # ifconfig enp2s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask

Hi, I'm running my CentOS 7 desktop in french. LANG is set to fr_FR.UTF-8. In GNOME 3, the menu entries are listed in alphabetical order. Unfortunately, entries beginning with an accented character (like "?diteur de texte") appear at the bottom of the list. I know that in order to correct this, I have to set the LC_COLLATE variable to fr_FR.UTF-8. What would be a sensible place

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 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

I used to install my own heavily customized version of Slackware on these machines (http://www.microlinux.fr/slackware/), but this was a bit of a hassle to maintain. CentOS 5.x is running perfectly well on these

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

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'm currently installing CentOS 5.11 i386 on an old PC. Is the ELRepo third-party repository still active and maintained?

Hi, I just installed CentOS 7 + GNOME on my Asus S300 laptop. So far everything runs very nice and smoothly, and I'm quite happy with it. Curiously enough, I can't seem to be able to set a custom wallpaper. I tried various locations like /usr/share/backgrounds, /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome and /usr/share/backgrounds/images, but the images don't appear in the wallpaper selection

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, Up until recently, I've been running Wine 1.6.2 on my workstation under Slackware64 14.1. I used it to emulate a handful of legacy apps that ran under Windows XP. They worked perfectly with that setup. After migrating the workstation from Slackware to CentOS 7, I installed the Wine packages, but none of my applications run. I only get an error message about "wrong EXE

Hi, RHEL/CentOS releases 5.x, 6.x and 7.x are all shipping reasonably recent versions of Firefox ESR, Thunderbird ESR and LibreOffice. Until recently I've been using Slackware Linux as a base system for client's desktops and workstations. Since my primary aim is reliability, I always tried to opt for the most stable releases, so for example I'd rather go for LibreOffice 4.2.8

Hi, I wonder if there's an easy way to strip down an installation to the bare minimum, e. g. the packages you get when you select "minimum installation". In Slackware, the bone-headed package manager slackpkg has a few nice options, among which 'slackpkg clean-system', which removes all third-party packages in one single operation, or 'slackpkg remove

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 just installed a fresh CentOS 6.6 desktop. It's a client's machine, it is physically installed on a testbench in my office. Usually, when I perform installations, I start with the base system on the testbench, and once networking is configured, I SSH into it and then do all the fine-tuning remotely. My configuration files, scripts and HOWTOs are all stored in a Github

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
