Dear community, while the recent bug regarding file system access in Firefox 60 has been fixed, opening files linked on web pages is still a pain. By default, FF offers files (e.g. JPG, PDF) to be opened by "xdg-open" -- which does just nothing. Trying to choose an application manually, the user is ...

Dear community, I am currently observing a strange bug on one of the CentOS 7 systems I am administering: During every reboot, ABRT generates a crash report, with the backtrace containing these lines: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffebe000040000 ... Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP ... CPU: 3 ...

Hello, we are running MATE (EPEL version) on two systems with CentOS 7 (fully updated). It seems that every time a user logs out, abrt will issue a "mate-panel killed by SIGSEGV" message. There are no obvious side effects, but the accumulation of crash reports is getting somewhat annoying... We have...

Dear all, having used two-monitor configs on nvidia cards for years, I recently decided to try and activate my onboard intel gpu to drive a third monitor. The setup works in principle, of course the second gpu generates a separate screen by default, meaning that windows cannot be moved between the i...

Hello, I'm wondering whether anyone has experience with running EL7 (or Linux in general) on the HP ENVY Recline machines (these are all-in-one solutions). The 27'' versions in particular could be affordable iMac alternatives (for those not feeling comfortable with OS X), but I can't find any refere...

Hello, a few weeks ago, I started seeing firefox segfault (sig 11) randomly (in maybe 10 % of cases) during startup on one of my EL6 machines. The log file contains something along these lines: kernel: firefox[6474]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007fff29bf7738 error 4 in firefox[400000+1a000] A quic...

Hello everybody, after upgrading to EL 6.6, with xorg-x11-glamor shifted to ver. 0.6.0, I noticed that my /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf (which I had used to prevent glamoregl from loading) has been deleted (not overwritten, it has been removed from the package). Somewhat unexpectedly, I did...

NedSlider , I just discovered a very simple solution to the problem, which is non-invasive ad avoids deinstallation of default packages. The /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf file contains a "Module" statement. I first thought of modifying the behaviour of the library by a complementary entry ...

NedSlider , thanks for the pointer. Your suspicion was correct: after reverting to the elrepo driver, the issue re-appeared, but went away immediately after uninstalling xorg-x11-glamor (with dependencies). But why doesn't the package from NVIDIA show this problem? Maybe there is something I missed...
