Try to convert the type1 fonts into a truetype 
container (using fontforge) and install them 
into your home directory. This can be scripted 
with "fontforge -script" ... as far as I remember.

how about just using the "courier new" that you should get as part
of LibreOffice?

If you want 10 pitch, try choosing 12 point (and 12-pitch should be 10 point)

[CentOS] using Skype on C-7

2018-05-14 Thread Fred Smith
Hi

I've whined about this before, but now I feel the overwhelming urge
to whine some more. Forgiveness begged... :)

I've spent some very frustrating times trying to get a microphone
to work when doing skype calls.

According to the various sound tools available on Centos all the various
mics I have (built into webcam, analog headset, USB headset)produce
sound just fine.

but when using skype there are too many different knobs one can turn
to actually make it work. There's PulseAudio, Alsamixer, and for me,
since I use the Mate desktop, the Mate Volume Control, which can also
be accessed by a right-click on the speaker icon in the top panel.

then in skype I get a list of 5 (FIVE!) different audio input devices.

I just spent a frustrating time trying to join in a daily scrum at
my office (I'm out of the office today) wherein I could not get outgoing
audio to work.

afterwards I tried more things and managed to get ONE of the 3 to work,
the one built into the webcam. to do that I had to make the following
settings:

choose Input tab in the Mate Volume Control, then move the volume
slider most of the way over to the right.

In Alsa Mixer, set front mic to 70 and front mic boost to 100.

In Pavucontrol, enable webcam audio input, and crank it way up.

in Skype, choose "default device", as distinct from "Default Device",
or the other three choices.

There's gotta be a better way, I'm open to suggestions from anyone else
who has figured out how to configure the system to work with Skype, without
having to configure FOUR different applications before it will work.

thanks (a lot!) in advance!

[CentOS] kickstart leavebootorder

2018-05-14 Thread Stijn De Weirdt
hi all,

we have hosts that we want to pxeboot first, always. with uefi,
anaconda/kickstart always set the freshly installed disk as first
bootdevice and there seems to be no way to disable this behaviour.

the rhel7 docs describe a "leavebootorder" option
(https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/sect-kickstart-syntax)

but it doesn't "leave [the] boot order", it still (as described in the
doc) puts the new one on top. it leaves other existing boot entries
alone, in same order; but inserting a new entry on top effectively
changes the order, not sure what they were smoking when they came up
that option name

does anyone have any tips/tricks to keep hosts booting with pxe first
(besides parsing efibootmgr output and modifying the bootorder after an
install).

thanks,

stijn

[CentOS] Save the date: CERN Dojo, October 19th, 2018

2018-05-14 Thread Rich Bowen
On October 19th, 2018, we will once again be hosting a CentOS Dojo at 
CERN, in Meyrin, Switzerland[1]. This will be a full day of CentOS 
presentations, drawn both from CERN and from the broader CentOS community.


The call for papers is now open[2]. We're looking for talks about 
anything CentOS related, but we're particularly interested in:


* OpenStack, and other cloud platforms
* Ceph, and other software defined storage solutions
* Configuration management tools
* HPC, and other aspects of research computing

CERN[3] is one of the best-known research facilities on the planet, and 
the home of the Large Hadron Collider.


CentOS Dojos[4] are the best place to meet other members of the CentOS 
community, and the various communities - such as OpenStack and Ceph - 
that have a large overlap with CentOS.
