Linux CentOS 7 printer installation, what is the hpps program?

I just installed Linux CentOS 7 on my laptop. I tried to install my local printer, but it does not work.

At the end of the configuration process, the system shows a window stating:

Printer 'tmdtpr1_11' requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps' program but it is not currently installed. Please install it before using this printer.

I looked for the program hpps but I cannot find it, it does not seem to exist. How could I solve this? What could I do?

How to make a desktop icon on centos 7?

Permission denied because search permissions are missing on a component of the path, after chmod and chgrp

[core:error] [pid 5132] (13)Permission denied: [client 123.123.123.123:50398] AH00035: access to / denied (filesystem path '/var/www/mysite.com') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path

I recently changed the group owner of the www folder a group called admins containing a couple user accounts, root and apache. I also used chmod to change www to 774.

Ever since doing that, I get Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. in 2 of my domains.

/var/www/mysite.com says forbidden

/var/www/mysite2.com says forbidden

/var/www/html works fine.

Start a systemd service after a device has been mounted

I'm writing a systemd's .service file for minidlnad (DLNA server) under CentOS 7. Since my media file collection is hosted on a RAID array, I need that array to be mounted BEFORE the minidlnad server is started. Both the RAID array and minidlnad should be started on boot. Is there a way to do this in systemd?

How to make a three disk software RAID by adding the third disk?

The server is running CentOS and it has been successfully running a two disk software RAID. I wish to add a third disk to this for redundancy, so when one disk fails, the system still has two disks operating until a replacement for the failed disk arrives.

When installing CentOS from a DVD-ROM, that's where I have set-up the software two disk RAID in the past. But how do you add a third disk to the existing two disk software RAID in a running system?

"screen is terminating" for non-root

When I try to run screen as a non-root user I get:

screen

[screen is terminating]

immediately, though it works fine for root

ls -alh /usr/bin/screen
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root screen 465K Jun  9 20:30 /usr/bin/screen

When googling around I noticed a mention of /etc/fstab, here is mine:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/md1        /       ext4    errors=remount-ro       0       1

devpts          /dev/pts        devpts  defaults        0       0

This on a freshly installed centos 7 on a dedicated server accessed through ssh ( TTY is pts )

Any help would be appreciated.

Centos 7 - ping 8.8.8.8 (connect: Network is unreachable)

I think I have a routing problem. I have set up a CentOS VM, it is connected to my network and I can ping other machines.

I cannot however ping anything outside of my network.

[root@localhost ~]# ping 8.8.8.8
connect: Network is unreachable

I also set up port forwarding on my router to forward SSH on port 22 to this machine and I cannot access it outside of my network (using putty).

Here is the output of ip route:

[root@localhost ~]# ip route
10.0.0.0/24 dev enp0s3  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.0.0.10
169.254.0.0/16 dev enp0s3  scope link  metric 1002

Here is the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3:

getent passwd doesn't work; CentOS 7 and SSSD LDAP authentication

I installed CentOS 7 on a brand new server. All my servers get end user authentication through LDAPS on various system as RHEL5, Debian, and Solaris. I noticed there is a new layer on CentOS 7 which is SSS above NSS and PAM. Anyway, I try to replicate the same type of connection as the other server.

The command ldapsearch -x is binding in LDAP, but not in LDAPS.

While digging the problem, I tried to do a connection in LDAP squeezing the SSS layer putting these lines in my /etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd:     files ldap #sss 
shadow:     files ldap #sss 
group:      files ldap #sss 

And I added this line in the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

cache_credentials = False

And I restarted ssd.

systemctl restart sssd

I check with the command authconfig --test and everything seems ok: (http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/1LZ2)

How to install python-pip in CentOS7 Docker Container

I am trying to build a docker container that includes pip.

I am on CentOS 7.

Here is the fragment from running the docker build command:

Step 3 : RUN yum -y install python-pip
 ---> Running in 25d1ba46e6dc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.vcu.edu
 * extras: mirror.clarkson.edu
 * updates: mirrors.unifiedlayer.com
No package python-pip available.
Error: Nothing to do
2015/02/13 19:23:48 The command [/bin/sh -c yum -y install python-pip] returned a non-zero code: 1

I would post my Dockerfile, but it seems that python-pip is not available from the standard CentOS distribution, because this fails too:

sudo yum -y install python-pip
[sudo] password for theuser: 
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.thelinuxfix.com
 * extras: mirrors.xmission.com
 * updates: mirrors.tripadvisor.com
No package python-pip available.
Error: Nothing to do

There is this link on solving the install problem for the host system: http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-pip-on-centos-7/ That involves using rpm or curl. I think that is a bit messy for Docker.

Also, if CentOS removed pip from the standard distribution, maybe they have good reason and I should not use brute force to install it.

This does not seem to be an issue in Ubuntu or other distributions. Just CentOS 7.

My concise question is: What is the preferred way to install pip (or an alternative) in CentOS 7?

Why i don't have common default gateway and dns of 192.168.1.1

I cannot open some websites(example speedtest.net) it takes me to the address http://1xx.1xx.2xx.4x/AirtelDSL. where Airtel is my service provider(ISP)

while i can open succesfully http://speedof.me/

my router summary shows different ip than what is shown on my PC

while my router summary has this :

Can some one explain why these two are difernet? I was thinking there should be only one default route and dns even on router summary i.e 192.168.1.1

I wan to do port forwarding on a non standard port to access my PC through internet over ssh but i am failing to do so

CentOS 7 minimal install can't detect ethernet

I recently installed CentOS 7 on my desktop computer and decided on the minimal install. It couldn't find a network device in the installation process, but I went ahead and installed it anyway. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 didn't exist to start. ifcfg-lo was the only one:

[chris@piecework4 /]$ ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts | grep ifcfg-
ifcfg-lo

I made ifcfg-eth0 with the following values:

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
PERSISTENT_DHCLIENT=1
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE=Ethernet
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME="eth0"
HWADDR=00:13:D4:37:42:39

ifconfig -a only shows this:

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
    inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
    inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
    loop  txqueuelen 0  (Local Loopback)
    RX packets 8  bytes 560 (560.0 B)
    RX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  frame 0
    TX packets 8  bytes 560 (560.0 B)
    TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

I do have an Ethernet controller...

[chris@piecework4 /]$ lspci | grep Ethernet
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 90)

Ethernet works fine on every live cd I try.

Bonding/Teaming in centOS 7

I am new to linux. I have been trying to configure either NIC bonding or NIC teaming. I have done it on windows server 2012. I am using centos7 and I haven't been lucky enough to configure it correctly. The Lab that I am working in right now has 3 WANs that I plan to combine to act as one with link aggregation (Adaptive transmit load balancing). I have tried every way possible in my knowledge using the Network Manager, doing it manually, and by following the documentations as well. Please advice me the best way to do it. Also I haven't been able to find any documentation on Teaming in centos 7. I have have three interfaces that I will be using as WAN and the forth one as LAN. WAN interfaces will have manual IP setting... In all the examples that I saw none had any example with static ips on there slaves. Also my /etc/modprob.d/ is missing modeprob.conf. So all this concludes to following questions:

1. Where can I find the manual or manpages for Teaming.
2. Is is possible to use Static ips on slaves with bonding or teaming.
3. What is the best mode to use?
4. Is what I want achievable through CentOS?
