Re: Failed to start log in service & some other issues like stopped D bus system manager bus

I have seen something like this happen twice. It was some years ago, so I don't remember all the details. Once I got a message like this when the computer was incorrectly configured to use NIS authentication. The other time there was an error in the policy files for polkit. (Look under /etc/polkit-1).

Re: OpenSSH Requires Password AND Public Key!!!

Support for a number of ciphers has been removed from ssh over the last years because they are no longer secure. Your server has a very old version of ssh installed and is only offering these legacy ciphers. Your client on the other hand is of a more recent version and refuses to use these insecure ...

Re: httpd service dont start

The time between the log messages is unusually long. What is going on on that machine? Is some other process oveloading CPU or memory usage?

Re: Sudden black screen

Check at least /var/log/messages.
Also have a look if there is something in the other files in the /var/log directory.

Re: Openbox / compositor installation guide

There is a package obconf-qt-l10n. Can't find obmenu though.

Is it smart to try this with VFX/dcc project on CentOS7 with openbox?
CentOS7 is starting to show its age. VFX uses a toolchain that is ahead of CentOS7.
Also openbox as a project seams a bit quiet for the last couple of years.

Re: Crontab not working for python3.11 script

cron uses a limited set of environment variables, much more limited than the environment for an ordinary user. When something runs from the command line but not from cron, it is most of the times a missing environment variable, or an environment variable with a different value. For example, PATH may...

Re: Openbox / compositor installation guide

Openbox is available in the Epel repository. Add Epel with

Code: Select all

sudo yum install epel-release
Then you can use yum to install the various openbox packages.

Re: Using Putty to do a ssh connection with key authentication

The ssh-dss method is no longer accepted. See https://www.openssh.com/legacy.html.
Upgrading putty and generating a new key is the right solution.

Re: phpMyAdmin - Forbidden

chcon -Rv --type=httpd_sys_content_t /usr/share/phpmyadmin/*
This does not add the type httpd_sys_content_t on /usr/share/phpmyadmin, only on all the contnets of that directory.

Try:

Code: Select all

chcon -Rv --type=httpd_sys_content_t /usr/share/phpmyadmin

Re: enable core dump on CentOS 8

Obviously this facility is being designed by LT's kernel crowd and not the RMS userland crowd. This is not a kernel vs userland thing. What matters here is (1) security, (2) security and (3) security. Remember that you can easily force an application to dump core by sending a suitable signal with k...
