It just seems a little odd to me to require that amount of manual effort when one wants to reuse the entire disk for a fresh install. I seem to recall that in 6.5 one could simply tell the installer to do exactly that. In any case, somehow I experienced the situation that, even though I had 'deleted' each of the old mount points, the CentOS-7 installer would not reuse the original boot partition space but instead created a new one. I am not sure what was going on or what I did that caused this. In the end I rebooted from the liveCD and used the disk utility to manually remove all of the partitions on the HDD and then re-installed from the minimal DVD. That seems to have returned the partition table to something I am more comfortable with. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

[CentOS] Mount iPhone ios-8 on CentOS-7
Yesterday I upgraded my Iphone to ios8 for Redphone/Signal and just now have discovered that I no longer can mount the iPhone as a USB device to effect data transfers from the camera roll. Googling around has not revealed any RHEL/CentOS specific fixes although apparently Ubuntu has done something on the matter. Is there any way to get an ios8-ified iPhone to mount on CentOS6.6 any more? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

What's your guestimate for how long? Weeks? Months? It looks like it hasn't updated yet - but meanwhile you might make the current version work if you also install the x2goserver-xsession package. It isn't a real dependency but you probably want it anyway and I think it is a bug in the current version that only causes a problem if you don't have x2goserver-xsession installed. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] [OT] mail address - centos mail list

Nor, for similar reasons, is it feasible for me to have a second email address just for the Centos mailing list since I would be unable to use it from my workplace. I do understand your frustration and I am appreciative of the effort that you took to contact me about it. I wish I had some solution for you that was available to me. The reason that my emails from the CentOS list are marked as spam by Google is that our domain employs DKIM and SPF for outgoing SMTP traffic. The CentOS mailing list manager is the stock Mailman package provided with CentOS. That version mangles the originator's mail headers and body, thus invalidating the DKIM signature. It then sends the message out as originating under the original sender's domain but from an unauthorised SMTP server address, thus triggering the SPF failure. The reasons that this has become an issue is that Google, Yahoo, AOL and I believe Microsoft, began enforcing DMARC to varying degrees beginning last April. Google at least forwards my messages on with a warning. I believe that Yahoo simply blocks all my CentOS list traffic. We have set SPF to a policy of ~all, which is a soft failure. That permits delivery, providing the recipient MX agrees as is the case with Google. It is not permissible for us to authorise an alien IP address as a legitimate source of our SMTP traffic so we cannot eliminate the SPF failure. We can do nothing about the DKIM invalidation since it is Mailman that is changing the headers and appending text to the body after it is signed by our servers. There is a patch for Mailman to resolve the SPF issue and the DKIM issue with respect to headers, but it has not made it into the RedHat distribution. The body mangling issue is in the hands of the mailing list owner. I have raised an issue on this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1095359 I also tried building the new Mailman package for CentOS-6. The problem is that the Mailman project does not follow the FHS. Restructuring the source files to properly package on CentOS is simply beyond my limited skills and time. I suspect that the effort involved is why the issue has not made much progress inside RH either. I am replying to the list as well so that anyone else having the same problem with my traffic is apprised of the cause. With regrets, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

For some fast and free monitoring along with DNS verification/blacklist/config checks of your MX records, MXToolbox lets you monitor one domain for free. Nice to have an external, independent source checking your public MTA.

I know we're getting a littl off topic, so I'll ask first: there are a bunch of external services I use to monitor things like DNS and SMTP which are difficult to get a true handle on from the inside. Is it too off-topic to talk about some of these resources on list?

[CentOS] Non-gnome desktops on CentOS-7
Is there a writeup somewhere detailing how one installs a non-gnome desktop? I have installed both KDE and Mate and both fail with the same error. (EE) no screens found. I am a bit bewildered that neither the official KDE from centos nor the semi-official mate from epel pull in as part of their install the Xserver. I am also bothered by the fact that installing a desktop other than gnome 3 does not in fact provide one that can be started from the command line. I am not trying anything complicated here.

I assume that if you log in to your account with chromium they'll get whatever they want without additional help (like at least being able to tie your account to an IP/location and your google searches). On the other hand they are probably right that if you are using a system as a desktop you should just upgrade it to CentOS 7 where their packaged version 'just works'.

[CentOS] Centos7 Net install on HP A1710N fails
Folks Just for laughs, I took an older 64-bit machine, HP Pavillion A1710N, and tried a net-install of Centos7. The installer complained that there was no network devices available. I then tried a Centos6 Netinstall disk, and it found the controller and worked fine. What should I do? I'd love to get C7 installed on it.
