I'm guessing that as Firefox ESR 68 is now a year 'out-of-date' (and no longer supported by Mozilla), that they wanted to provide a more up to date version for those that want to continue using EL6 after its EOL ? Just a thought, has anyone checked that the Redhat RHEL 6 build of ESR 78 works or or not? i.e. could it be an issue just with the CentOS build ?

IIRC the old dmraid support for motherboard RAID has been phased out, but mdraid has grown support for Intel (and maybe some other?) common motherboard RAID. So, /dev/md doesn't inherently mean "Linux software RAID" for a while now. -- Chris Adams ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Apache HTTPD not picking up environment variables.
I'm trying to install DB2 on a CentOS 7 server. The problem I'm seeing is that the Apache httpd server fails to pick up the db2 environment variables. On an older version running under CentOS 5 this was done by inserting the following lines into the httpd start script in /etc/sysconfig/httpd: if test -f /db2home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile; then . /db2home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile fi Under CentOS 7's systemctl system this no longer works. I need a clue as to where to start looking for where to put this so it will be sourced when the Apache server starts. I have googled this and can find nothing relevant. I even did a "find / -name httpd -print" and didn't find anything looking promising. Thanks for your help Harold ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Missing the old sytle gnome-software in CentOS 8 -- help!
Hello folks -- I recently got a new laptop and installed CentOS8 on it. Yes, it's a learning curve. What I am really upset/disappointed with is the "new" gnome-software application. It doesn't provide nearly the functionaility of the older gnome 3.28 app. Yes, I do know how to list EVERYTHING via the command line but the ease of listing files etc associated with a packages is now gone. Any ideas on a different app, plugins, extensions greatly appreciated.

The main issue is that it is hard to debug this just from emails. I would need to get a RHEL-6 system with ESR68 running from command line with debug turned on and look to see what it is talking to on sound. I would then need to do the same with ESR78 to see what it tries to talk to. My guesses is that the API/ABI that the application ESR78 expects the kernel/glibc/etc sound system that GNOME/KDE/kernel etc moved to in the 3.x services and the older 2.6 was deprecated and removed. This would then take someone going through the code changes between 68 and 78 to see what and why it was removed and if it is possible to put back in. > James Pearson > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Stephen J Smoogen. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

In non-systemd systems, httpd was started by a shell script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd) which sourced the file /etc/sysconfig/httpd, so you could embed shell code in the file and it would be evaluated. In systemd systems, the httpd.service unit has: EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/httpd For systemd units, setting this will cause the systemd unit to read in the file for variables, but it ignores anything that isn't a simple 'foo=bar' syntax. It doesn't evaluate shell scripts. HOWEVER, the logic of your shell script is something that can be supported by systemd units. You can say: EnvironmentFile=-/db2home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile and it will only try to source that file for variables if it exists. So, what you should do is create a directory and file within it called: /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/override.conf With these two lines in it: [Service] EnvironmentFile=-/db2home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile Then run (as root) 'systemctl daemon-reload', and it should conditionally load the environment variables on startup from that file if the file exists. This assumes that /db2home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile doesn't have more shell syntax in it, of course.
