I concur; I'll wager a coffee on graphics driver. 

Is it a AMD, NVIDIA, or integrated Intel (or combination of 2 or all 3)?

The 'live' download of GParted v0.31 (gparted.org/download.php - 64-bit ISO = 
~318MiB) says it does LVM2 now...  the latest available for install from the 
CentOS/EPEL repos is v0.19, which does not show any LVM as a supported type.

Re: [CentOS] Allowing non-root users to reboot a workstation

[Darr247]

Did you try adding

UserName ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

As the last line of their /etc/sudoers files?
(replacing UserName with their actual user name, of course.)

That should grant them root access to only the /sbin/reboot command (add
more commands using comma delimiting).

Then they just run
$ sudo reboot


If you want to require they enter their own password before rebooting, use
the line

UserName ALL=/sbin/reboot

Instead.

Use of sudo is recorded in /var/log/secure, if I recall correctly.

The Intel HD GPU is actually integrated on the CPU die; the discrete
graphics adapter usually has higher performance for graphics-intensive
applications. 

In windows, you should be able to choose which graphics adapter an
application uses by right-clicking its shortcut and choosing the "Run with
graphics processor" option from the context menu (the default can also be
set in the NVIDIA Control Panel, with NVIDIA adapters). So you can have the
integrated GPU handling mostly static displays and using less battery, while
the dedicated GPU kicks in for AutoCAD, video editing, gaming, et cetera. 

On desktop PCs, if the display/s is/are connected to the discrete GPU's
output port/s then the discrete GPU is used for everything.

I don't know how to tell which graphics adapter is being used by a
particular app in CentOS... the only benchmarking suite I've heard of for
CentOS is Phoronix (look in EPEL), which should have the GLMark2 benchmark
to test the OpenGL renderers. I'm not aware of any linux flavor that
supports Direct3D.

The ethernet adapter seems to be turned off by default.
To turn it on, click the 'down arrow' in the upper-right corner, then click
the Settings icon (a crossed wrench and nutdriver, near as I can tell) and
choose Network. Then, in the Network dialog, click Wired on the left and
toggle the 'switch' in the right-hand side to ON.
If you make a profile for it there, you can have it connect the wired
adapter automatically (which turns it on automatically, too).  

In any event, you should also see its status (e.g. connected or
disconnected) when you click the down arrow in the upper-right corner.

Getting the wireless working *might* go smoother once all the initial
updates are installed.

[CentOS] CentOS 7 iso file SHA-256 hashes

[Darr247]

I downloaded CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything.iso (8,233,418,752 bytes) by
clicking on the 'Everything' link in the 'Rolling' line on
https://wiki.centos.org/Download (supposedly the 1611 build).

But when I look in the sha256sum.txt file from
https://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/isos/x86_64/ (where Chrome says that
iso came from), there is no SHA hash for a file of that name. 

The reason I wanted to check it is because it's a different size than
another one I found on my hard drive while looking through the Downloads
history in Chrome.

The other file I found was CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1611.iso
(8,280,604,672 bytes), which returns a hash of
af4969ebbdc479d330de97c5bfbb37eedc64c369f009cb15a97f9553ba441c88 and that
matches the value given in the sha256sum.txt file for the file of that name.

So, my question is tri-fold. what's the SHA-256 hash supposed to be for the
file given when clicking the 'Everything' link on centos.org. 
then, why is the 'official' download link sending a file that's not listed
in the hash results. 
and finally, why is the file sent thusly, different from another
'everything' iso allegedly from the same build?

Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 7 dhcpd failure to allow a 2nd network over same interal nic

[Darr247]

Personally, I don't understand how you expect the DHCP server to decide
which scope to use when a new connection appears on the network.

DHCP discovery queries are presented from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, not to
a particular network's broadcast address.

I'd be interested to see what happens when one of your 10.x.x.x nodes
reaches half time or lease expiration and tries to renew its IP.  I tend to
think it would then be offered an address from the 192.168.0.x scope
instead, if it's currently offering those to the wireless connections.

Re: [CentOS] Resize KVM NTFS file system

[Darr247]

 It's generally recommended to use Windows tools to do NTFS re-sizing.



I tend to disagree with that advice...
I would recommend http://gparted.org/livecd.php over the microsoft-supplied
tools, in a heartbeat.

Boot off that Live image on a CD or thumbdrive (or use the version of
GPartEd included with the System Rescue Live CD from
http://www.sysresccd.org/ ), select the correct disk from the drop down
menu in the upper-right, set the borders of the partitions where you want
them with the GUI, then tell it to Apply the pending actions.

If I recall correctly, the disk management tool in the windows MMC won't
resize the partition it's running from, by the way.

continue perusing and referring to the RHEL 6 and 7 documentation.

And logging in as root for everyday tasks is generally discouraged, as well.

Most admins will edit their /etc/sudoers file to give themselves sudo 
access, so they could run


[username@machinename ~]$ sudo yum install man-1.6f* man-pages-3.22-*

(which will then prompt for the user's password, not the root password) instead 
of logging in as root.

You may be onto something, because I *am* using IMAP (TB's default

I'll be looking around in gmail next to see if there's some way to

I have never seen an online email interface I liked, so I don't spend

One of the things that drove me to linux (and I liked rpm/yum better

It installs and works.. youtube videos play.


The only way that would work for C6 is if the script from Richard Lloyd, 
or similar, is used to segregate newer libraries from f15 and f17 into 
e.g. /opt/google/chrome/lib so versions of Chrome newer than v27 will 
install and run on C6, but other programs won't use those libraries.


C7 uses those newer libraries by default, so such an installation script 
isn't needed to make Chrome work on C7.  For now, anyway. :)


Chromium (see subject line) is the open source version of Chrome, of course.

'dd' copied file to an ISO using mkisofs, looks promising), here's a 
method to do it in windows (or WINE, else I wouldn't bother posting it 
to this list), using the free ImgBurn program (imgburn.com)...


1 - with the bootable stick plugged into the computer, start ImgBurn
2 - click on Create image file from files / folders
3 - in Sources browse to your USB stick
4 - for Destination choose where to save the ISO image
5 - on the Advanced tab choose Bootable Disk and check the Make 
Bootable Image (also set Emulation Type as 1.44 floppy)
6 - in the Boot image dialog browse to the file etfsboot.com (or 
whatever image your USB stick uses) that should be in the boot folder 
on the USB stick
7 - in the field Developer ID put e.g. Microsoft Corporation and 
enter 07C0 in the Load Segment field
8 - enter '4' in the 'Sectors To Load' field if your etfsboot.com file 
is 2K in size, enter '8' if it's 4K (i.e. size of the /boot image file 
in bytes divided by 512).


So, it's fairly straightforward as long as you change the emulation type 
to 1.44 Floppy (most bootable USB's do *not* emulate a floppy disc when 
booting; 'dd' won't do that for you by itself), and use 512 as divisor 
of the /boot folder's image file size in bytes when setting the Sectors 
To Load option.

Actually, that's not accurate... Chrome installs just fine using 
Richard Lloyd's install_chrome.sh script.

The script from http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ downloads that 
package from a fedora 15 repo (getting it from fedora 16 or newer causes 
other errors/crashes), segregates it in /opt/google/chrome/lib so all 
other programs use the package from the CentOS repo, installs the 
Google-Chrome repo, fetches the latest stable release Chrome rpm and 
installs Chrome.

 From then on, yum should install updates from the Google-Chrome repo 
(at least that's how it's done it for me since I used an early version 
of it to install v28 on CentOS 6.4 after I saw his post in 
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6570 and yum's updated 
Chrome for me at least 6 times since then).

i.e. You've confused Chrome with chromium

As I recall, the Chrome rpm downloaded from Google's repo would fail to 
install with yum complaining about a new enough libstdc++ file not being 
available.
I can't find on http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/ what the difference is 
between the GLIBCXX_3.4.15 string offered by fedora15 and the older 
(GLIBCXX_3.4.12? GLIBCXX_3.4.13?) versions offered by CentOS 6.5, and 
don't understand why a minor revision like that would/could NOT be 
updated without waiting for RH/CentOS 7.x.
But, then... I'm just a dumb electrician.  :)

 Thank you very much for your lucid explanation,

 I was indeed completely ignorant of the basic facts about SATA drives,

 The two HP MicroServers I have are both N36L models, 3 years old.
 I had better check if these do support SATA3 drives.


Usually with WD SATA II and III drives, if you jumper pins 5 and 6 it 
forces them to the previous SATA mode for controllers that are not 
compatible.

On SATA II (3 Gb/s) drives they called it OPT1; on SATA III (6 Gb/s) 
drives they call it PHY mode.

Note those drawings show molex connectors which, as far as I'm aware of,

Sometimes the correct answer is, you can't do that.  :)

You can talk TO port 80 on all the defined target IP addresses, but not 
FROM port 8080 on a single IP address.

You could define a different outside port to forward to port 80 on each 
internal IP address, though.
e.g.
forward 8081 to 80 on machine1
forward 8082 to 80 on machine2
forward 8083 to 80 on machine3
forward 8084 to 80 on machine4

Then it won't save the crash report to the thumbdrive's persistent

It sequesters the fedora 15 libs away (in /opt/google/chrome/lib if

After that script installs Chrome, if you run
$ strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC

the newest versions found will still be
GLIBCXX_3.4.13 and GLIBC_2.4

(just like it should on your current CentOS 6.5 machine)

but if you run

then it will find the newer libs grabbed from the f15 repo.

CentOS 6.x is based on kernels circa fedora 14 if you want to talk about

While the current Chrome works in the upstream beta, the same thing 
could/will happen again if/when it moves to more-secure updated libs

No. The short one (in 'front' of the electrolytic capacitor with the

The other one is to the right of the pink resistor, yes... it *also*

Those are quite unusual, in my experience. I just took apart 3 dead 
power supplies here in the recycle bin and found swollen caps in all of 
them, but no chokes wound around components like that. Typically, 
inductor coils are wound around a piece of ferrous metal to intensify 
the flux, amplifying their filtering effect. On one hand you'd think 
it's a design flaw that extra chokes would need to be added like that to 
specific components; on the other hand it would point to extra 
engineering having been done to actually fix a specific problem instead 
of just pushing them out the door.

That's the heat sink for the northbridge chipset.

You lift those 2 levers to release it, and there's likely another lever

The only electrolytics I see on the motherboard that might be swollen

The thin grey cables connecting the CD and DVD drives to the motherboard

But why not just see what IP, Gateway and DNS Servers your home router

Well, you could... but all you'll get from that is the gateway and DNS

to make it use that gateway if there's no path to it (the nano would 
have to be connected to the home router to pass that traffic along)... 
you were asking what to put in that field so you could save the

 connected to the 23 dBm radio and its 18 dBi antenna, so that the 
 laptop essentially has 41 decibels of WiFi beamed at the house open

Well, that would result in an EIRP of almost 13W, or about 30 times the

 Is that right?

Not necessarily...
from
 In my situation, I'm connecting a CAT5 cable from the RJ45 eth0 port of the 
 laptop
 to a radio, which is a router, which is, by default, set up to*not*  hand out
 DHCP addresses (Ubiquiti Nanobridge M2) and which is set up, by default, on IP
 address 192.168.1.20.

I inferred you wanted to make the laptop talk to the ubiquiti nano through the 
RJ45 port in order to configure it. If I misunderstood the intent, I apologize.

Otherwise, you didn't really tell us any plans for it besides connecting 
to the Wayport Access network at Starbucks 5 miles away... which likely 
won't work without lengthening the Ack wait times - *at both ends* - for 
what that info's worth; most units will wait only long enough for the 
signal to travel between 400 and 1000 yards before giving up and 
resending the packets... (assuming they're even able to exchange enough 
packets to actually negotiate and establish a connection). That's one 
reason why more power is rarely the solution to wireless problems.
