I have an Octave code that among other things outputs:



 (x - 5)⋅(x - 4)⋅(x - 3)⋅(x - 2)
 ───────────────────────────────
 24


When using publish function from Octave miscellaneous package, the corresponding latex code look like this:



 (x - 5)â‹…(x - 4)â‹…(x - 3)â‹…(x - 2) 
 ───────────────────────────────
 24


I tried using sed to replace the weird characters:



 sed -i -e 's/â‹…/$cdot$/g' file.tex
 sed -i -e 's/─/-/g' file.tex


But nothing happens... Any help is appreciated.

  • Testing your data stored in a variable, works fine in my gnu sed 4.4 (without using -i switch though)

  • I can't reproduce it. I just noted that if i run cat file.tex, in cli appears just like the output of octave (not with the weird symbols)...

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
