I can second the Brother printers. My original one (HL-2070N)
was supported well by one of the free printer drivers already
available on Linux. More recently we have a MFC that works great
with the Brother drivers for Linux.

Re: [CentOS] old hardware / minimal netinstall -> CPU fan control

2017-07-11 Thread Gavin Peters 
Warning:I'm new to CentOS and have not tested the suggestion below (with
Linux). So please research if it sounds like a good idea.

It may be worth trying to bypass the issue by installing VMware ESXi and
setting up CentOS as a virtual machine.

This will give you additional control and backup options for the system.

  If you read Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, you will remember
there is a circle in hell where the only printer is an inkjet one and
behind it there are an infinite number of toners, half of them with
just one digit in its part number off and the other half with dried
out nozzles. Go read it again; I beleive it is the circle where
Comcast managers get thrown at.

There are reasonably priced colour laser printers out there. They
might not be $50 but you don't have to spend a grand for one.

Another +1 for laser.  My wife does editing and had a need for
fast printing of large documents including color for comments etc.
We went with a large Ricoh printer about 10 years ago.  Still
in use after about 300,000 pages.

At the time we had a PhotoJet for printing pictures.  The
quality of the laser prints was sufficient for our needs
so the PJ sits in a closet.

One thing that helps the appearance of laser printed
photos is to use a heavy, high gloss paper.

Glad to hear it worked.

For what its worth, CentOS7 was never affected by that bug, and Red
Hat does a fairly good job making systemd halfway sane (like disabling
systemd --user and providing systemd helpers for SysV init scripts).

I would go with inexpensive HP color laser printer. Laser printers can sit
for long time without use, without degrading, once you need it, it will
work. HP is the ones I would recommend - so far I didn't see HP printers
broken, or out of supplies which are not manufactured anymore (stay away
from Xerox in any event: I had to throw away several color laser Xerox
printers because Xerox stopped making toners for them, and Xerox did all
to thwart "aftermarket" compatible supplies).

The only disadvantage of laser printer compared to ink is if you need to
print high quality photographs: ink of different colors blends, whereas
powder in laser printer doesn't. But all on all if you are not picky,
photographs printed on laser printers look great too. Only people with
special needs will be unhappy with laser and will go with ink for
photographs.

I hope, this helps.

I hate HP inkjets (ok, the huge Designjet we have is different, but that's
a multi-thousand-dollar poster printer).

Cannon's ok, I think. Haven't been looking for years. On the other hand,
if you mostly print black and white, consider an inexpensive HP LJ
(*those* they make well). I have an LJ1018 (discontinued, replaced by
higher numbers) that I bought in '07? '08? for $128 at MicroCenter... and
on the spot got a $64 rebate I buy "compatible" toner (I have a
favorite vendor online, less than half the cost of HPs, *including*
shipping). 10pp/min. And yes, it does. And it's little. And cute. And
doesn't take up much of my desk at home.

It seems like every time I go on another printing binge,
I need yet another print cartridge.
hp-clean doesn't help.
IIRC this use it or lose it "feature" is common to inkjets.

What should I replace it with?
If I want a non-cloggging printer,
is laser jet the way I need to go?
I'd like to do color occasionally,

[CentOS-docs] Sending git changes on the centos-docs for centos.org website

2017-07-11 Thread Fabian Arrotin 
Hi,

Just to let you know that we decided to send all the git notifications
to the centos-docs list for the centos.org website. The git repository
is hosted on https://git.centos.org/summary/?r=websites/centos.org.git
(will be open soon)

It's low-traffic, so centos-docs list will not receive a huge amount of
notifications, but at least some people on the list will get
notification when a git commit was done.

I used to have a HP 320 generation 2 server that I used as a desktop. it
had a bunch of tiny fans that screamed like a banshee. 

it turns out that one of the RPMs they shipped with it (on CD, not actually
installed) contained a driver that toned down the fans to a soft roar.
I'm sorry to say I have no memory of what the driver was.

but if this system is from a vendor that supports Linux, they might have
some suitable driver.

good  luck!

Hi,

As several people mentioned it already, such kind of discussion for a
SIG (that hasn't been approved yet - still in proposal status - ) would
better fit on the centos-devel list, as centos-docs if for the wiki
itself, or other docs.

Re: [CentOS-docs] Fedora 26, what can be learned?

Short answer: What changes might be coming.  I suspect that RHEL8 will
default to dnf, rather than yum. There haven't been too many major changes
for the sysadmin, there are various things happening, don't know when they
started, for the desktop user with Gnome changes, Wayland, and the like.
 
The usual pattern is that something is developed for Fedora, which seems to
be aimed at the single user laptop owner who has no experience in 
handling data for other people. 

Then, RedHat blindly puts it in the next RedHat release.  Experienced
adminstrators complain. This is usually ignored. 

People post on various lists and forums that they're moving to FreeBSD.
Reminiscent of some celebrities who said they would move to Canada if Trump
became president, they find that it's easier to adjust than actually make
the move. 

That's my somewhat jaundiced view on it.  To elaborate, and cherry pick
items that suit my bias, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias, I
believe it was Fedora who first decided to severely limit the options in
the curses based version of anaconda, which then went into RHEL6, causing a
lot of curses. .  That's a simple, unresearched, and quite
possibly wrong example, but I suspect many of us use Fedora so as to not
get caught by surprise when things like that happen (the curses based
install suddenly losing lots of options.)

Since "CentOS EDU" is a proposed SIG that has not started yet,
discussion belongs on centos-devel not on -docs.

What pray tell, is "CentOS EDU"?  I did a web search for it and didn't find it.

So far as what someone might be able to learn from Fedora 26... it isn't a RHEL 
release so probably nothing.

TYL,

Fedora 26 is now available, what can CentOS EDU learn from it?

If there is a subject that belongs on another list, please direct me to

/etc/init.d should be a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d. Someone must have created 
that directory after removing the symlink. You probably need to rename the 
directory, restore the symlink and move any files in the renamed directory to 
the correct directory.

Well, it was slightly more complicated than that.  But yeah, in essence 
that's what I needed to do.  Unfortunately, the move to systemd is a 
bloody nightmare and after the systemd-resolved vulnerabilities, I'd pay 
good money for RH/CentOS to trash that pile of crap.

[CentOS] old hardware / minimal netinstall -> CPU fan control

2017-07-11 Thread Gary Stainburn 
I have just installed CentOS 6 i386 onto an old rack server (it's gonna be a 
Bacula storeage server and is a 1U 1/2 depth chassis)

I did a minimum netinstall and so far so good. However, I have one problem.  
The CPU fan is going at full speed constantly. Not a real problem apart from 
(a) it will affect the fan's lifespan and (b) it's noisy.

I've done some Googling and found some help. I've installed lm_sensors and run 

sensors-detect.

After reboot I get the following:

[root@harpo ~]# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:   +40.0°C  (crit = +75.0°C)  

[root@harpo ~]#

which implies that it can read the CPU temp, but the fan is still going at 
full speed.  Can anyone suggest what I need to do next to enable fan speed 
control?

[root@harpo ~]# more /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors 
# Generated by sensors-detect on Tue Jul 11 11:49:07 2017
# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).

HWMON_MODULES="w83627hf"

# For compatibility reasons, modules are also listed individually as variables
#MODULE_0, MODULE_1, MODULE_2, etc.
# You should use BUS_MODULES and HWMON_MODULES instead if possible.

MODULE_0=w83627hf

I see that the image is actually provided by Rogue Wave Software who are
selling support packages for it.

[CentOS] Azure Centos Images

2017-07-11 Thread Andrew Holway 
Hello,

I was wondering if there is any plan to support an official image for the
Microsoft Azure cloud platform? Currently there is a third party publisher
"OpenLogic" providing an Centos image but I don't know who they are. Redhat
is providing a RHEL 7.3 template and Canonical is providing Ubuntu.

I see that a comprehensive set of AMI's are maintained for Amazon Web
services.
