I use Thunderbird exclusively on my linux-systems.
I also feel the Lightning-addin for calendars in T-bird needs "some" work to 
be usable.

While I don't use my Owncloud for mail, only used as a cloud storage, I have 
however used Evolution. In that context Evolution with CentOS sucks. It's just 
plain ugly and not a bit intuitive IMHO.

My workaround is to just connect to my calendars (Google Calendar) with a web 
browser.

YMMV of course.

With a minimal GNOME desktop installed (no Evolution, no Thunderbird),
the system menu shows the clock in the upper right corner of the screen.
When you click on that, you get a little overview window sporting a
calendar on the left side and an (empty) list of appointments on the
right side. Unfortunately that preview window seems to be preconfigured
for Evolution only, so I wonder if there's any way to get rid of it.

Cheers,

Niki Kovacs

Exactly. Except this doesn't seem to work under CentOS 7. The mentioned
file doesn't exist here. As for the "Nothing To Do" extension, it's beta
software, and I don't know how to install that extension since I'm new
to GNOME (Xfce and KDE user).

What now?

Hi,

I'm currently using Thunderbird synced to OwnCloud on my main
workstation running Slackware64 14.1. I just installed CentOS 7 on my
Asus S300 laptop. It's running nicely, and I'm spending some time
getting acquainted with it.

I wonder if I should stick with Thunderbird or go with the default
Evolution application, since this seems to be better integrated into the
desktop, namely the calendar function.

On the other hand, it seems like you have to jump through burning loops
to connect Evolution to OwnCloud.

What are your experiences with these two clients and OwnCloud? Any
suggestions?


I have zero experience with OwnCloud but Evolution was my default mail 
client for years, I was an early adopter of it.


I only use IMAP for mail, so I do not need to sync anything as 
everything is kept on the server.


I stopped using Evolution because it started having massive problems, it 
became very frustrating how often my workflow was interrupted because 
Evolution had some problem that it solved by rebuilding its own index of 
all my mail folders. That would take a long time, especially on my 
laptop, and it interrupted my ability to read and send mail.


Since switching to Thunderbird I have not experienced that kind of 
problem once. It's always there and always usable.

Do you have to use Gnome 3?
I'm thinking it might be easier to disable in Gnome 2.

Just use MATE - where it isn't even an issue (MATE is a fork of Gnome 2 
and is in EPEL)


yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop"

Then at the login screen, you select MATE as your desktop environment. 
There's a gear or some similar icon on the login screen that lets you 
pick the desktop for the login, and it remembers what you picked the 
next time you login.

Re: [CentOS] FireFox and Plugins

[James Pearson]

Alice Wonder wrote:

While doing a browser fingerprinting survey, I was quite surprised to
see I actually have a FireFox plugin installed.

The culprit is

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so

It appears that whoever maintains the rhythmbox RPM has chosen not to
package the browser plugin separately like it probably should be. So if
I have the rhythmbox RPM installed, I have the plugin.

This is rather worrisome because I can find no trace of the plugin in
the Mozilla preferences panel, so if it is there it is very well hidden
and if it really isn't there, it can't be disabled there.

Is there some kind of blacklist file I can put in
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ or ~/.mozilla/plugins/ to specifically tell
FireFox not to load that plugin, or do I have to uninstall rhythmbox?

Thank you for suggestions.


It shows up when I run Firefox - in both about:plugins and about:addons 
-> Plugins


If you use a central Mozilla autoconfig file setup - see, for example:




then you can use the following line to disable this plug-in:

 lockPref("plugin.state.librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin", 0);

(and similar lines to disable any other plug-in)

[CentOS] Disable calendar notification in GNOME / CentOS 7 ?

[Nicolas Kovacs]

Hi,

Here's one of the problems adressed in a previous thread, but it got
somehow swept away in the heat of the discussion.

Since I'm using Thunderbird and not Evolution, I'd like to get rid of
the calendar notifications in GNOME's system menu.

Ideally, things should work like this:

https://extensions.gnome.org/static/extension-data/screenshots/screenshot_153_2.png

There's an extension called "Nothing To Do" which is supposed to do
exactly that, e. g. get rid of the calendar notifications:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/153/nothingtodo/

Unfortunately there seems to be no way to use it with the GNOME version
shipping with CentOS. I spent a couple hours jumping through various
burning loops, without success.

Any idea how this could be done?

Cheers,

Niki

Hi,

It is possible to rebuild the package ( for CentOS 7) and disable this
plugin being built. Attached is a diff of the changes required.

In RHEL 7.3 rhythmbox is supposed to rebase.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1298233

Unsure if it has been pushed as yet, being 7.3 release day, not all info
is available. What this package does contain is to be found out.

Regards

Phil

Hi,

Yes but then any update to rhythmbox would re-install it and it would 
become a pattern of build, rinse, repeat.


Hopefully the bugzilla I filed will result in an update being pushed 
with the plugin either gone or available in a separate package for those 
who do want it.

I don't think Postgres 8.4 has the infrastructure that ip4r extension 
requires.


but the ip4r release notes suggest...

make NO_EXTENSION=1
make NO_EXTENSION=1 install

then

psql -f /path/to/ip4r.sql dbname

to activate it in that dbname database.   they also mention there's 
quite a bit of stuff in ip4r that won't work on pre-9.1 Postgres due 
to lack of indexing support.

[CentOS] CentOS repo issue

[m . roth]

I just built these servers, and the other admin added some more packages,
then we moved them into the datacenter.

I see errors from a cron job,
Could not get metalink
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64 error
was
14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org; Unknown
error"

So I logged on, and ran yum list apcupsd, to see if it was having issues
getting epel, and got:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64

Clues for the poor?

  How about manually...

sudo rm /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so

  You'll have to do it each time you update rhytmbox.

Re: [CentOS] FireFox and Plugins

[Александр Кириллов]

It is possible to rebuild the package ( for CentOS 7) and disable this
plugin being built.


Yes but then any update to rhythmbox would re-install it and it would
become a pattern of build, rinse, repeat.


You can place the rebuilt package to a higher priority local repo.

following the instructions at

the best way to install postgresqol, imho, is from the 
yum.postgresql.com respoitory run by the postgresql development group.  
you get your choice of any of the active versions (9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9,5, 
and now 9.6), it has almost all of the add-ons available at your 
fingertips via yum, and its well integrated and well supported.  It does 
require a few packages from the EPEL repository for some of the addon 
packages.


quicky howto on installing 9.5.latest for centos 6 64bit...

# First, (optional) create and mount a dedicated xfs file system at 
/var/lib/pgsql before beginning this, so all my databases are on it
sudo yum -y install 
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.5/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-centos95-9.5-3.noarch.rpm
sudo yum -y install postgresql95-{server,contrib,devel}   # install 
server and components

sudo service postrgresql-9.5 initdb  # initialize database cluster
sudo service postgresql-9.5 start# start database server
sudo chkconfig postgresql-9.5 on   # set so db server always runs 
at boot
sudo -u postgres psql -c "create user $USER superuser; create 
database $USER owner $USER"


that last step gives your regular user a sql account with full database 
admin privs and creates a scratchpad database for them to log on with 
while doing admin stuff.


now,

sudo yum -y install ip4r95
psql -c "create extension ip4r" somedatabase

to install ip4r and enable it in somedatabase...

I'd just put an rm -f into cron.hourly if I wanted to have RPMs that 
don't verify.


Rebuilding it with a newer version than what CentOS ships though would 
stop the update issue.

Hi,

Sometimes we are only left with the wash, rinse, repeat, though not
ideal. This was a regular for me until I fully moved away from 6.x.

However...

You can update your bugzilla entry as affecting 7.3 also. The 3.3.1-5
build in RHEL 7.3 has the same issue as you reported it.

Note: All patches attached are against 7.3 rhythmbox 3.3.1-5 located on
git.centos.org.

There are a number of scenarios.

Scenario 01:

Disable the plugin, so it is not built and thus removed from RHEL/CentOS
7 altogether. Not something that is likely to be done, taking away a
feature.

Attached patch referenced below does this:

0001-Scenario-01-Disable-building-of-browser-plugin.patch

Scenario 02:

Move the browser plugin into a separate package. Not sure about the
vendor wanting to do this, but is a viable option.

Attached patch referenced below does this:

0001-Scenario-02-Browser-plugin-as-seperate-package.patch

Scenario 03:

The CentOS community agrees with you and decides on one of the methods
above and it is built and released as a 'centosplus' package.

Regards

Phil

[CentOS] fprintd needed?

[Jon LaBadie]

On a 7.2 desktop system I see irregular attempts to start
the fingerprint authentication daemon "fprintd".

One of the messages is
"D-Bus service launched with name: net.reactivated.Fprint"

This fails as there is no fingerprint device.
fprintd.service is disabled.

Without a fingerprint device, is this software needed.
Yum removal (aborted) shows no packages dependent on fprintd.

[CentOS] Centos 7 Minimal and Quotas

[Matt]

I have installed Centos 7 Minimal in a 1TB KVM.  Used XFS file system.
I did not use LVM.  I need to install Directadmin which requires
quotas.

I have this in fstab:

UUID=b482396d-d2fc-49ed-b9df-c49e9387405b /   xfs   defaults   0 0
UUID=e24a16e0-57ab-42b2-af0b-9edf789376e5 /boot   xfs   defaults   0 0
UUID=b08b8243-6b46-444c-a7bd-02934246d884 swap   swap   defaults   0 0

I get this:

# repquota /
repquota: Mountpoint (or device) / not found or has no quota enabled.
repquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

I tried changing / from defaults to defaults,usrquota,grpquota in
fstab and rebooting but I still get the same result.

What do I need to do here?

Pinging and/or looking up centos.org might not be very useful as you
have a problem with epel @ mirrors.fedoraproject.org ;p . Time for

Re: [CentOS] Fwd: CentOS on new Dell

[Michael B Allen]

Just to follow through, I installed Fedora F24 on this new Dell E7470
and after dnf upgrade everything works. Originally the Fedora Live
testdrive did not work completely (wireless choked and the external
HDMI connection would hang the machine) but after installing to disk
and updating (kernel when from 4.5 to 4.8) everything just worked.
External display was recognised correctly and it installed my printer
and printed a test page no problem.

So Dell E7470 works great with F24.
