XFCE on regular Red Hat
by David Collier-Brown 26 Jul '15

26 Jul '15

For a long time, I've been using the Fedora XFCE spin, but wanted to build a new for-work dev machine and got RHEL 7.2, so I would have a supported version to host recent tools on. Fedora is fun, but tends to lag in app versions while being at the bleeding edge in kernel versions, which is fine for a toy machine, but the inverse of what I want for a machine to make money with.. 86_64 GNU/Linux Alas, RHEL 7.2 seems to be much *more* broken than Fedora fc 21 Yum can't even do a groupinstall, and half the required packages for xfce are in neither the Red Hat nor the EPEL repositories. Building XFCE from scratch exposes even more missing dependencies This seems odd, as many people with slightly earlier 7.X releases did $ sudo yum install epel-release $ sudo yum groupinstall "X Window system" $ sudo yum groupinstall xfce and were done. Is this just a bad release, or has RH been degrading while I was using something else? Should I downgrade to 6? Use KDE? Switch to a different distro? What are you folks using for prod? --dave $uname -a Linux miles 3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 15 21:38:46 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Luks on Ubuntu 14.04
by Randy Jonasz 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

Hey everyone, I've been trying to resolve an issue unlocking a luks encrypted partition on boot using Ubuntu 14.04. I've set it up to automatically unlock after the root partition's password has been entered by adding the target entry into /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot. I have 6 drives in this machine and 5 unlock fine. The 6th errors out with unkonwn fs or bad options or password. I can unlock the partition after boot using the derived key from cryptroot. I've tried to zero out the drive and start over but the problem persists. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to solve this? The drive is used as a cache drive for the zfs file system. Thanks! Randy

IDE and tips for working with JavaScript?
by Caroly Fisher 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

First off, I know not Linux related things go to off topic. I'm not sure if the sender is supposed to direct the topic or not. Sorry if I should be~ I was looking at working on my code again, and decided to try tapping into JavaScript. I'll need a simple IDE (that will of course run on Linux, but most of them do so meh). I've minimal experience with JavaScript, and coding as a whole. My currently favored IDE is Brackets. It's been great so far, and works with JavaScript. Of course, not being familiar with JS, I'm not sure how well it works with JavaScript. Any tips on a similar IDE that may be more compatible with JavaScript and just tips in general about starting with JS would be of great help. I apologize if the question is too vague. Thanks!

Git question
by William Muriithi 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

Afternoon I have a git repo called configurations. I want to add the directory /etc/ansible to the repo. Problem is when I clone the repo, I am not able to commit the ansible directory as the ansible root directory is outside the repo? Is there a way of getting the ansible directory into git without using a symlink? Regards, William‎
