Thanks for the warning --- I´ll change it accordingly for just in case. Corrupted data is bad ... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] slow libreoffice
Hi, so what do I need to install to prevent libreoffice from being so slow that it becomes unusable? This issue has been there with Fedora years ago, and now there´s same issue with Centos. Back then, there was a package you could install to make it work at normal speeds, but last time I checked, this package doesn´t exist anymore. This issue is particular to the Fedora/Centos versions of libreoffice and does not occur with other builds like the one you can download from the libreoffice web site. I was trying to make a chart and it became so slow that it´s unusable. I guess scrolling is only fast enough because I have a powerful graphics card. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] slow libreoffice
do you use libreoffice as rpm package or flatpak?

[CentOS] VMWare Workstation 14 on CentOS 7?
Hello, did anybody succeed in installing/updating to VMWare Workstation 14.0.0-6661328 on an updated CentOS 7 (kernel 4.9.54-203.el7.centos.x86_64)? Here it fails at building vmmon/vmnet modules. I couldn't find anything about this on the Internet.. WS seems to get less popular and unfortunately reproduces the same inability to install upon kernel updates, that drives me nut for years now. Please don't suggest other VM sw, I'm stuck to VMWare WS at work..

Probably the easiest way to see if the device is supported on Linux yet is to boot the very latest kernel, which conveniently for you is packaged in RPM format in the elrepo-kernel repository. Head over to elrepo and set up the repository on your system: http://elrepo.org/ then install the latest mainline kernel: yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml Reboot to that new kernel (currently kernel-ml-4.13.12) and see again if the device is supported. --- Phil, Thank you very much. After booting to the new kernel the camera worked very well with vlc and ucview, but did not work with cheese. I have never used a kernel from your website. After checking whether some of the things I use for production work with the new kernel, I did not identify any problems. Are there things I should consider, or is this kernel reasonable to use on a production basis.

Thanks again Greg I would refer you to the release announcement: http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2017-November/003904.html Use at your own risk. But at least you now know the device is supported upstream, so you can head over to Red Hat and file an RFE to request support be backported from the upstream kernel. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
