Hi, I just replaced Slackware64 14.1 running on my office's HP Proliant Microserver with a fresh installation of CentOS 7. The server has 4 x 250 GB disks. Every disk is configured like this : * 200 MB /dev/sdX1 for /boot * 4 GB /dev/sdX2 for swap * 248 GB /dev/sdX3 for / There are supposed to be no spare devices. /boot and swap are all supposed to be assembled in RAID level 1 across

Hi, I recently migrated my office's server from Slackware64 14.1 to CentOS 7. Right now I'm in the process of configuring the Squid web proxy. I edited the default /etc/squid/squid.conf, and here's what I have so far: --8<-------------------------------------------------- # /etc/squid/squid.conf # Nom d'h?te du serveur Squid visible_hostname amandine.microlinux.lan #

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 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, I just configured SquidAnalyzer, a nifty little network statistics tool that I'm using mainly in school networks to monitor network usage. I want to run the '/usr/bin/squid-analyzer' script once a day. I took a peek in /etc/cron.daily, and the package already installed an /etc/cron.daily/0squidanalyzer script. I wanted to know at what time CentOS ran the cron.daily scripts,

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 migrated my office's server from Slackware64 14.1 to CentOS 7. So far everything's running fine, I just have a few minor details to work out. I removed the firewalld package and replaced it by a simple Iptables script: --8<---------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # # firewall-lan.sh IPT=$(which iptables) MOD=$(which modprobe) SYS=$(which sysctl)

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

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'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 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 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, 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, I'm currently experimenting with CentOS 7 on a couple of installations. I'm reasonably proficient with CentOS 5.x and 6.x. I'd like to manage networking using a more traditional approach (Keep It Simple Stupid). Here's what I tried so far, starting from a minimal install: Install net-tools (to be able to use ifconfig). Get rid of NetworkManager: # yum remove

Hi, I just spent a couple of unnerving hours trying to make Dropbox work on CentOS 6.6. Is there a way that 1. Actually works? 2. Doesn't include jumping through burning loops?

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 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
