Notes:
X11 & GUI installed in this way:
Code Block title X11 and GUI curl http://yum/centos-gui > /tmp/centos-gui /bin/sh /tmp/centos-gui
(very large set of packages, takes a long time...)
Software installed via the GUI: Thunderbird, emacs, LibreOffice
Code Block sudo gnome-software
Attempt to install FastX downloaded from www.starnet.com. Code is unpacked from a tar.gz file and run without any special installation. Attempt to configure SLAC but code fails with a relocation error associated with /lib64/libssl.so.10
TRS should not be used as it currently requires the use of DES enctypes that are insecure. WE have a todo to remove the ability for this weak-key to work. And are working to make TRS more secure so it can be used on Centos.

7/13/2018 - comet2 machine arrives in bldg 48 rm 248. Kerberos authentication (temporary). Initial pass at identifying and installing needed software packages (above table) 8/28/2018 - comet2 rebuilt, lose login ability 9/28/2018 - regain ability to login via local account. Re-install needed packages. Also move offending file which causes polkitd to consume too much CPU, "A workaround that I've been using is to remove /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Account.desktop until the above mentioned bug is fixed." |
