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 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

This is a real life-changer for me. I had to fiddle a couple hours with Node.js and tweaking Vim until Markdown was handled correctly, but now I have a really nice

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 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, Is there any way to deactivate the redirection to a mirror when using the third-party EPEL repository ? Our network uses a transparent HTTP/HTTPS proxy with a local AC. We can create exceptions for sites like centos.org or download.fedoraproject.org, but whenever we want to install a package from EPEL, the mirror redirection causes an error due to redirection. Any suggestions ? Niki --

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 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

Hallo, what is the standard way to sync time under Centos 7. ntp or chrony. Thanks for a short hint. Ralf

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 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 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 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 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 recently discovered Markdown, and I'm currently using it to write some documentation for CentOS 7. https://github.com/kikinovak/formation-linux For the time being, I'm using my good old Vim editor for writing it. I turned off syntax highlighting, since this produces random results with Markdown. Pages are correctly displayed on Github, but in order to see them, I have to push
