Hi,
since a few weeks we started the rollout of CentOS 7. So far it doesn't look too bad. By extensive help of Gabrielle Schmidt (Bruker) this distribution is installed at three spectrometers meanwhile. There is one remaining tiny issue
concerning the cf functionality, which requires to run a small script creating 4 links after the configuration, but that's it.
NX was a larger challenge. Neither in release 3.x nor in 4.x NX cooperates with gnome 3.x in a perfect manner. It's possible to open a shadow session taking over a desktop gnome 3.x session. It's totally impossible to create a new virual gnome 3.x session. Instead you might use gnome 2.x. To do so, add the epel repository and
yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop"
I took NX 3.x. After the NX installation change one line inside /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg as follows:
#CommandStartGnome = "/etc/gdm/Xsession gnome-session"
CommandStartGnome = "/usr/bin/mate-session"
The line commented out here is the original NX installation.
Unfortunately there is one unsolved challenge.
I also changed one fileserver. The installation was done from the scratch, that's why I changed the filesystem as well.
Now its XFS.
Everything works fine client side ..... except sparky.
Its impossible to do directory browsing. The reason clearly is a combination of sparky client side and XFS server side.
Tentatively I created server side an ext4 file system, made the same export options and that's fine even for sparky.
Now am little bit confused, of course. The clients shouldn't see the type of the server file system. At least in
Theory.
Maybe you have some hints ....
Greetings
Rainer
