Subject: [CentOS-announce] Announcing release of Ruby on Rails 4.2 on
CentOS  Linux 6 x86_64 SCL
Message-ID: <56eff711.5080...@cleal.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Ruby on Rails
4.2 on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64, delivered via a Software Collection
(SCL) built by the CentOS SCLo Special Interest Group
(https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo).

QuickStart
--
You can get started in three easy steps:
   $ sudo yum install centos-release-scl
   $ sudo yum install sclo-ror42
   $ scl enable sclo-ror42 bash

At this point you can use Ruby on Rails in the usual way with the
`rails` command. Examples of commands might be:
   $ rails new --skip-bundle example
   $ rails generate model Article

'byebug' and 'webconsole' development dependencies are not supplied, so
should be removed from generated Gemfiles.

In order to compile assets, uncomment or add the gem 'therubyracer' to
the application Gemfile. Add the v8314 SCL to use this supplied gem:
   $ scl enable sclo-ror42 v8314 bash

To deploy an application under Passenger, see the wiki documentation:
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo/RubyOnRails

About Software Collections
--
Software Collections give you the power to build, install, and use
multiple versions of software on the same system, without affecting
system-wide installed packages. Each collection is delivered as a group
of RPMs, with the grouping being done using the name of the collection
as a prefix of all packages that are part of the software collection.

The sclo-ror42 collection delivers Ruby on Rails version 4.2.5.1,
modelled on previous collections (e.g. rh-ror41) and provides all of
Rails with full asset compilation support, plus extras such as jQuery
(1.11.2 & 2.1.3). It depends on the rh-ruby22 and v8314 collections.

For more on Ruby on Rails, see http://rubyonrails.org/.

The SCLo SIG in CentOS
--
The Software Collections SIG group is an open community group
co-ordinating the development of the SCL technology, and helping curate
a reference set of collections. In addition to the Rails collection
released here, we also build and deliver databases, web servers, and
language stacks including multiple versions of PostgreSQL, MariaDB,
Apache HTTP Server, NodeJS, Ruby, Python and others.

Software Collections SIG release was announced at
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-October/021446.html

You can learn more about Software Collections concepts at:
http://softwarecollections.org
You can find information on the SIG at
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo ; this includes howto
get involved and help with the effort.

We meet every second Wednesday at 16:00 UTC in #centos-devel (ref:

open to a

[CentOS] Very odd issue w/ a CentOS 6 system

[m . roth]

Now, this is one we have an issue with: it's got a bttv card, and motion
running on it. It's a Dell PE R720. For some reason, it has never liked
the card: 20 min after reboot, it says fatal bus error... but nothing's
wrong, and it runs just fine. Well, expect that we need to keep it on the
2.6.32-431.20.3 kernel, because *everything* later, it randomly starts
rebooting, several times a day.

But we've never had anything like this, and I've never seen anything like
this: the bttv module was throwing a ton of IRQ lockup errors. Restarting
motion didn't help. So I was wondering if the issue was with the bttv
kernel module, so I rmmoded that, then modprobe bttv... and that was all
she wrote. The system lost network connectivity.

Ok, I go over to the rack, and plug in the monitor-on-a-stick, and that's
where it got very strange, and I've never seen anything like this: I turn
up the monitor... and see it announcing it had seen a new USB device (the
keyboard)... and no login, it kept printing
copying data  [%]
When it hit 100%, it rebooted.

So - has anyone ever seen this behavior? Anyone have an idea what it was
copying?

Hi,

What is the make/model of the card?

Are you supplying options when loading the bttv module?

In this case is the kernel source RPM publicly available then?

On and off, I've been googling to find if there's something I can tell it,
or the kernel on boot. Currently, I have, in /etc/modprobe.d/bttv:
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98
radio=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2
full_luma_range=1 coring=1

which is something I got from googling as to how to get it working. Think
there's something in that - the first line? that is not a good thing?

I actually have, for a remote, solar-powered setup where there was no

layer 1 in use.




and any wifi on a desktop workstation that I've ever seen has been on 
a pci-e card.




I'm running a few workstation setups with USB WiFi NICs.  These are 
again due to some odd infrastructure restrictions where running cable 
(UTP/ScTP or fiber) was impractical or cost-prohibitive.  Or in one case 
where cable simply could not be run at any price due to not being able

Of course, all the SRPMs are available for everything we do.

For this one specifically:

http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/virt/Source/xen-46/

you want:

http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/virt/Source/xen-46/kernel-3.18.21-17.el7.src.rpm

Hi,

The options line 1 is used widely and only worth changing if all else
fails.

The second options line option of combfilter by docs indicate there is
no 2 option and is enabled by default, so you can remove that option to
test.

I would enable two possible compatibility options and see if that helps.

triton1=0/1 - for Triton1 (+others) compatibility.

vsfx=0/1 - yet another chipset bug compatibility bit

The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit. If you have
stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box
work solid.

Thanks very much. I'll try those as I have the chance; unfortunately, it's
not something I can do frequently, as the server's in use, and exporting
project directories to users... oh, and it is actually running motion for
surveillance of the room...

Ok, I've been doing some research, partly refreshing my memory, since we
bought these 2-3 years ago. As you note, above, it *says* it's an iTuner
Spectra8; *however*, when I look at bttv-cards.c, what I see is that *it*
thinks that such a card has *one* video and one audio. In fact, this is a
Bt878, and it has *four* inputs for each, with four chips on the card, one
for each channel. The nearest thing to it *appears* to be a Provideo
PV150, card=98 (which is why I have that card= line in the bttv.conf).

Now that I'm thinking about it, and while googling, I looked for the
provideo 150, and what *should* have been the link took me to one for a
provideo 950, with *16* inputs. Does anyone have opinions on:
  1. should I change the card-, radio=, and tuner= to only have four,
instead of 8, values? I realize that it multiplexes for 8, but
  2. What is "coring"?

Hi Mark,

It did specify spectra 8 in your lspci output. Below is product page.

http://www.ituner.com/spectra.htm

In my research I did find this related page.

http://www.linuxconsulting.ro/spectra8/

This does state that with latest internal driver, it is detected and
works as the ProVision 150. The card=98,... is correct.

The matter of reducing all the settings to 4 rather than 8 may help.

coring is a luma setting. See:

https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bttv#insmod_Options

Not sure and someone else maybe can shed better light on the setting. By
default it is disabled and I would tend to think it can be removed.

Regards

Phil

Hi Mark,

You have the setting of 16 which maybe correct for how many feeds you
are taking/processing. If less I maybe tempted to drop it to the default
8. If the device is running as close to or at default and no hickups -
all the better. :-)

[CentOS] Centos in the Browser string ?

[Always Learning]

I know Centos is a 100% rebuilt of whatever Red Hat has produced, even
though the version numbers are no longer visually identical and, as
Johnny always writes, "If it ain't in the Red Hat version, it ain't in
Centos" or words having the same meaning.

Having got circa 20,000 hits, from all round the world, to a single dull
web page in 2 days, I thought I would analyse the visitors' operating
system preferences.

I can isolate from the browsers string:-

Android
Darwin
iPad
iPhone
Macintosh
Windows
X11


My C5 Firefox string is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0".

Ubunto has "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0"

My questions are:-

(1) Why can't we have 'Centos' in the Firefox browser string ?

(2) Is 'X11' genuinely indicative of all 'real' Linux - both free and
commercial ?   Android also calls itself Linux.


Thank you.

[CentOS] C5 MySQL injection attack ("Union Select")

[Always Learning]

mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.95, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using
readline 5.1


I spotted something strange and immediately installed a routine to
automatically impose an iptables block when the key used for database
access is excessively long.

My URL was something like this

././.php?key=123456

The injection was something like this

././.php?key=876711' UNION SELECT
13,CONCAT([X],count(*),[X],13,13,13,13,13,13 FROM
information_schema.TABLES WHERE `TABLE_NAME` LIKE "%wp_users%"   -- /*
order by 'as

There are no user permission on information_schema.

There seems to be 2 versions of the coding floating around on Austrian
and Russian IPs. One is ineffective but the other works. It seems the
author is expert in the intricate structure and design of SQL.

until the devs get "r2i", you can use a firefox add-on;

  User-Agent Switcher 0.7.3.1
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
or
  User Agent Quick Switch 0.5.2.1
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-quick-switch/
or
  User Agent Overrider 0.4.1
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-overrider/

to create your own user agent id.

hth.

Thank you. As competitor Ubuntu has it, I thought why not Centos.

What purpose does it serve? I don't object to it being there but I also 
don't see a benefit to it being there.


Ubuntu btw is not exactly a distribution I want RHEL/EPEL/CentOS

welcome.

i agree. yet as said, until devs get "r2i". besides, it is ubuntu
competing against centos. not centos competing against ubuntu, which
in itself should tell you something. :-D

right now, they are busy keeping centos 7 ahead of ubuntu. ;-)
