[CentOS] Broadcom wireless card: installation script for Linux-STA driver

[Niki Kovacs]

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 centos/6.x/broadcom-sta
# broadcom-sta.sh

Reboot and you're ready to go.

Cheers,

Niki

[CentOS] Error: libusb-1.0.so.0 is needed....

[ken]

Trying to install Canon printer driver package (rpm), I get a dependency 
error:


libusb-1.0.so.0 is needed

The version currently installed on my 5.9 system is libusb-0.1.12-6.el5 
and, AFAIK (per yum), no upgrade to that is available.


So question: Do higher centos versions have libusb-1.0.so ?  (We could 
perform a quick inventory with:


uname -r; rpm -q libusb

Thanks.

Did you try the drivers provided by elrepo?

No. I read the CentOS wiki page here, which states that ELRepo doesn't 
provide these drivers due to licence restrictions, and that the user has 
to build them manually.

Its true that CentOS can't package it for distribution, however, the
elrepo package probably works fine, and you can subscribe to the
elrepo repository and get software updates.  It also attempts to make
sure your wifi will continue working after you reboot into a new
kernel.

Yes. However once built, because it is a kABI-tracking kmod package,
there is no need to build it again for each kernel update.

The canon rpm does not fit for your CentOS release.

Btw. update to CentOS 5.11 running "yum update". 5.9 is outdated by 
security and bug fixes.



So question: Do higher centos versions have libusb-1.0.so ?  (We could

That must have been a very long time ago, as rsync has been silent for
as long as I can remember (even back to CentOS 5 and possibly even 4).

Anyway, you want some combination of the -v and --progress switches.
Try each separately, and both together, and see which you like best.

Neither!

Both switches list the folders being checked even if the contents are

[CentOS] Using a "compose key" on Centos6

[Fred Smith]

Hi all!

I ran into a description of how to set up a compose key for F21 and
decided to see if it would work on  C6.

Well, the right configuration dialog exists, and I can choose a
key to use, but after completion, the compose key doesn't seem to work.

It works like a charm on Centos-7, though. If I select Right Win as
the compose key, typing ae results in "�" as I expect.

but doing the same thing on Centos-6 gives me an unadorned "ae", not
the ligature, but the individual characters. i.e., it doesn't do
anything helpful.

Since the keyboard setup dialog includes the options to define a
compose key I'm going to assume it's supposed to work, and th at I'm
just overlooking something.

Anybody got any good suggestions?

thanks!

[CentOS] need guidance on getting started...again

[Clayton Kirkwood]

Hello,

It's been about 15 years since I've enjoyed working in the Unix space, and I
am trying to reintegrate myself. A few things have changed in the
intervening years. I've installed the first Centos6 iso without too much
difficulty, but I am rusty on commands and such. It appears the install
doesn't install mans so would somebody suggest a way to find and install
them. It appears that there are several install package implementations.
Which is the best to use? Any other helpful guidance would be greatly
appreciated. I'm going with Centos 6 because I only have a 32 bit machine,
otherwise I'd be up on 7, I would think.

 

Thanks,

 

Clayton

I don't see the concern. CentOS is a binary-compatible clone of Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux. Further, Red Hat sponsors and supports the CentOS 
project, providing confidence in it's long-term survival which business 
looking for a flavour linux want to see.


CentOS users should be happy about Red Hat, not scared of it. Likewise, 
CentOS is valuable to Red Hat as it's the source of their future 
customers. So it's a very mutually beneficial relationship.

Personally, I am agnostic. I've just read thru  Centos documentation that
there is a big effort to remove all upstream personalities from Centos.
Personally, I don't see why RH is doing this. I would think that it
undermines RH. But I'm still new/old to all of this. It used to be the big
argument was between Unix from Berkeley(4.? I think) and SysIII/V. Always
always battles for turf.

It's a trademark issue. CentOS is not Red Hat, so they can't use Red

undermines RH. But I'm still new/old to all of this. It used to be the big
argument was between Unix from Berkeley(4.? I think) and SysIII/V. Always
always battles for turf.

I don't see the concern. CentOS is a binary-compatible clone of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. Further, Red Hat sponsors and supports the CentOS
project, providing confidence in it's long-term survival which business
looking for a flavour linux want to see.

CentOS users should be happy about Red Hat, not scared of it. Likewise,
CentOS is valuable to Red Hat as it's the source of their future
customers. So it's a very mutually beneficial relationship.

May be worth nothing that CentOS isn't the only distro that does 
this[1]. It is probably the more well known, though.

Re: [CentOS] Howto install Centos6/7 Comcast WA/OR

[Richer, Mark (CIV)]

David,

I can’t comment on Comcast’s IPv6 deployment in OR and WA, but I have set up 
IPv6 so I can address some general issues FWIW.

You don’t need to enable IPv6 just because it’s available. I don’t know why one 
would, on the other hand, consider disabling IPv4 unless you only want to 
communicate with other IPv6 systems which is very limiting.  However, you can 
configure IPv6 independently of IPv4 and do it any time you want without having 
to start from scratch. Generally you don’t need to reboot  even to change your 
network configuration so you can modify any existing system as far as I know. I 
mostly edit/write network-scripts to configure the interfaces. I use the GUI 
tools sometimes but often find they are limiting.

You don’t need to use DHCP6 with IPv6 to assign addresses — at least not 
generally speaking, though I can’t speak to the specifics of Comcast and the 
DCP3939 Router configuration. In general, IPv6 hosts can auto-configure without 
using a DHCP6 server. I couldn’t think of a good reason to use one because it’s 
not needed to assign addresses dynamically. I guess there must be reasons some 
folks use one. Regardless, you can assign manual IPv6 addresses and optionally 
add them to your zone files.

If you need to test IPv6 configurations when you are connected to an IPv4-only 
network, you can get a free IPv6 tunnel account from Hurricane Electric:

https://tunnelbroker.net

At home in Virginia, I have Comcast, and use the tunnel to test the IPv6 
configuration at our office.

By default, IPv6 addresses route externally, but you can assign local private 
IPv6 addresses.  I have only configured addresses that do route externally and 
these don't need to do any forwarding to use port 22 (though you need to make 
sure your IPv6 firewall rules allow access.). For example I can ssh directly to 
an IPv6 address using my tunnel at home.

Hope that helps a bit.

Has anyone managed to install a Centos6 or Centos7 in Washington or Orgegon, or 
anywhere else that Comcast has deployed the IPV6to4 routers.  The router in 
question is a Xfinity DCP3939 Router with Wireless, and I'm trying to get a 
Centos system working behind that router (with a wired connection), and enable 
SSH access from outside.

Does one have to enable both IPV6 and IPV4?
Can I enable IPV6 after install, or do I have to restart the installation from 
scratch (it has Centos6 installed via an earlier IPV4 router).

How does one configure the router so that its DHCP system awards a known 
address to that machine, and how to forward port 22?

The extra problem is that I'm trying to advise the owner of this configuration 
remotely.  Behind that same router he has a working Windows 7 machine, and I 
can use Team Viewer to view the router's configuration from "inside".

Any assistance would be appreciated.  Comcast is of no help.

Re: [CentOS] Dropbox on CentOS 6?

[Niki Kovacs]

Le 12/12/2014 06:14, Chris a écrit :

just use the Fedora RPM from Dropbox. It's working fine. The files
included and a German posting is at

http://chris-blog.net/2014/07/dropbox-unter-centos-installieren/


I just tested this on a fresh installation of CentOS 6.6 (in 
VirtualBox). I downloaded the Fedora RPM (32-bit), installed it (using 
yum localinstall) and started it using the new Internet > Dropbox menu 
entry.


1. A progression bar "Downloading Dropbox menu" appears.

2. A second progression bar "Unpacking..." appears.

3. Then nothing happens.

4. 'ps aux' shows a busy 'dropbox' process.

YMMV, but this does *not* work on CentOS 6.6.

Cheers,

Niki

Re: [CentOS] Dropbox on CentOS 6?

The procedure described onhttps://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx  has worked for me 
on several occasions before on CentOS 6.0 >> 6.5.
Haven't done it on 6.6 yet, but I doubt it'd be any different.

What problems have you run into??


I just tried it again in a fresh VM of CentOS 6.6 (minimal GNOME desktop 
+ handful of needed applications).


I followed the instructions step by step (there are only two).

I downloaded Dropbox, launched the daemon manually as described...

... and nothing happens.

Any suggestions?
