[CentOS-docs] Scheduling migration for wiki.centos.org
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, As I received positive feedback from testers (thank you all !) on the wikitesting.centos.org moin instance, I think we can say that we'll migrate the real wiki.centos.org very soon ... I'm actually moving some services around (pdns/msync roles) to free a machine that will be able to host the moin/wiki role. Depending on the available time, I'll probably switch dns A record next week. Our current TTL is 60 seconds, so very short, and that will ease the migration. I'll though send a mail to the centos-announce list too, so that people using a strange DNS resolver overriding our TTL (we had that issue for the lists.centos.org move) will be aware of the migration. And, as quoted from a saying, if you have something to say, say it now or never ! :-) Cheers, - -- Fabian Arrotin gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlQQVAkACgkQnVkHo1a+xU4h+QCcCYzNbw4Yh2G4xKmSQMdOTYCA 61cAn3nNtoC9tdEW4rKfrweb3oOTc7Vd =uNog -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Basically I would choose based on what you will print. It these are tax returns and other important documents, then it has to be laser. These documents then will survive flood. If these are photographs, then it has to be ink printer (color is the one I would get). As ink blends, but the powder of laser printers doesn't. Hence the difference in reproducing half-tones, gradual color changes. Water immersion survivability is dependent on the quality of the paper as well as the type of print medium.

When surveying a cave we always use Rite-In-The-Rain paper. It is almost completely waterproof. I have managed to dunk my survey book in a stream for minutes at a time. The paper and the pencil sketching survived. It also survives getting muddy. They offer products that will go through a laser or ink-jet printer. http://www.riteintherain.com/ For long-term storage (decades or more) the jury is out. I have survey notes from 15 years ago that are still usable. They are stored in an ordinary filing cabinet in my house - No special environmental efforts are taken. It seems reasonable that Rite-In-The-Rain paper will store at least as well as regular paper. It is pricey, but if you really need waterproof then this is good stuff.

If you look at the security issues you are talking about in mariadb 5.5, you will see that they are ROLLED IN already: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0702.html But backported in the current version. (The list of CVE's patched is on that page) If you have other questions about backporting, read this: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting So the short message is, if you want to know if a CVE fix is included, you can see on the errata page or here: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/ All the CentOS announcements are here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes Thanks for the excellent (and reassuring) response. - -- - -- Steve -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUEG9UAAoJEDx7wfUw/4IOZtUH+wZnu7PKPP+13cb0YmR4h/qH O92AOXHevbhtj8FogW7puwLLeyW7ud64d+WctgXXkctkXEEbIakigFmBGryXfHiy FrPquQxKutZTWQ6UYwvhd4huFKv3PrBrmwjzOrcD1yA8N58tUw+yWdsd8hKvxp+I oNhxllHQdU9G1Wb9oGtbYIcQL1hhCkLj5Oh6e3ExVwVLXVcPb+/WMuZRp8yP/cAy DVa1wTM0oolexY+ZMAVNmGQxvx8nL9xEoXDTkQ6F2b9WXo7Dh+7W2TvTWwT+88Fj 6IBduDMuT8IOLduw9upeFodh27L/VY/LFX85HvpGIPFfxVZ2BEfjgJuCkyHKr84= =JO4x -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Upgrade from CentOS 6.x to 7
Sure, I can umount /usr/local and comment it out of fstab, my comment was more about the fact that the software confused my configuration more that than anything else. But then again it's probably best that they take the most conservative route and make folks aware of any and all possible ways that it might fail. The report also listed a driver for an Ethernet card that was not supported in CentOS 7 which does make the software useful for identifying things like that. All in all I think that it's worthwhile to run the software to see what it finds so that you can be aware of the types of issues that you might run into. I agree that doing an upgrade using this method would be a bit of a last resort, I might try it just to see how it goes, just for the heck of it, but ultimately a re-install is best as it get's rid of all the chaff as well.

I'm not running LaTeX under CentOS-7,
but under Fedora-20 your file compiled OK after xelatex trivial.
Actually, xelatex is just a link to xetex, and there is no xelatex.fmt .
(xelatex is available after yum-installing texlive-xetex .)
In my case tcfmgr lies in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig/
rather than /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/,
and fmtutil.cnf is in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/.
Probably irrelevant to your problem.
(You'd probably get a better response on the comp.text.tex newsgroup.)

[CentOS] Screen refresh seems to fail until I move the window
Hi List, Over the last month or so I have noticed a problem that seems to be becoming more noticeable. Initially I noticed this on Thunderbird and Firefox and assumed (yeah that makes an ass out of u and me) it was related to mozilla updates to these products. As I was working mainly with email and the browser, I did not notice it also affects other products. What happens is this: I delete an email, initially nothing changes on the screen, in fact the screen only updates if I do any of the following (not an exhaustive list) press the down arrow to move onto the next email click on the title bar and move the window move the mouse to the bottom pane and use the scroll wheel - this will update this pane to the next email content, but fails to update the email header pane click on some other folder etc. OR working in gedit with multiple tabs (files) open. click to close a tab - nothing happens until I click on the title bar and move the window, or click onto another tab and then scroll in the edit pane OR working in firefox, and a pop up dialog box opens, the screen locks but no dialog box visible until I move the window slightly, when it does a screen refresh and greys out the main window and reveals the pop up box. Running on CentOS 6.5, fully up to date as of Sunday, with nvidia graphics using the kmod packages from elrepo. I also use compiz as my ASUS GT640 PCI-E 2GB graphics card has lots of horse power and run two 22 monitors via DVI cables from the single graphics card.

Re: [CentOS] heavy IO load when working with sparse files (centos 6.4)
On Mon, Sep 2, 2013 at 12:40 PM, Ron E r...@questavolta.com wrote: Dear List, We have noticed a variety of reproducible conditions working with sparse files on multiple servers under load with CentOS 6.4. The short story is that processes that read / write sparse files with large holes can generate an IO storm. Oddly, this only happens with holes and not with the sections of the files that contain data. We have seen extremely high IO load for example copying a 40 or 80gb sparse file that only has a few gigs of data in it. Attempts to lower the io priority and cpu priority of these processes do not make any measurable difference. (ionice, nice) This has been observed with processes such as: cp rsync sha1sum The server does have to be under some load to reproduce the necessary conditions. The cases we have seen involve servers running 10-30 guests under kvm. Load is in acceptable norms when the processes are run, such as load avg 5-15 on a 24 core (12 core with HT enabled) server. We also verify before starting such a process that the spindle with the file we're working on is not being unduly hammered by another process. These servers have one hardware raid controller each (Dell H700 controller with write cache enabled) and multiple raid arrays (separate sets of physical spindles). Interestingly, the IO storm is not limited to the array / spindles where the sparse file resides but affects all IO on that server. We have looked extensively and not found any account of a similar issue. We have seen this on configurations that are 'plain vanilla' enough to think that this is not something specific to our environment. Wondering if anyone else has seen this and if any suggestions on gathering more data / troubleshooting. We wonder if we've found either a raid controller driver issue, an OS issue or some other such thing. What seems to point in this direction is that even with ionice -c3 which should prevent the process from using IO unless the storage is idle, an io storm which appears to saturate the entire raid bus on a given server can occur. Did you ever figure anything out from this? I've noticed a similar sort of issue on some of our machines, so I was curious if you found the cause of the issue or any way to improve the situation.

There's enp0s3 and lo.

Re: [CentOS] heavy IO load when working with sparse files (centos 6.4)

The short story is that processes that read / write sparse files with large holes can generate an IO storm. Oddly, this only happens with holes and not with the sections of the files that contain data. We have seen extremely high IO load for example copying a 40 or 80gb sparse file that only has a few gigs of data in it. Attempts to lower the io priority and cpu priority of these processes do not make any measurable difference. (ionice, nice) This has been observed with processes such as: cp rsync sha1sum The server does have to be under some load to reproduce the necessary conditions. The cases we have seen involve servers running 10-30 guests under kvm. Load is in acceptable norms when the processes are run, such as load avg 5-15 on a 24 core (12 core with HT enabled) server. We also verify before starting such a process that the spindle with the file we're working on is not being unduly hammered by another process. These servers have one hardware raid controller each (Dell H700 controller with write cache enabled) and multiple raid arrays (separate sets of physical spindles). Interestingly, the IO storm is not limited to the array / spindles where the sparse file resides but affects all IO on that server.

I presume you are running CentOS 7 because pymol for EL6 is available from EPEL. Your output suggests it was not found in EPEL. Now, in EL7, you need to build it from the source tar file.

I see pymol is also available for Fedora. Rebuilding from its srpm will be a better way to get this for CentOS-7 (than from tarball).
