Re: [Arm-dev] Add Marvell Armada7k8k NIC (mvpp2) support patches
by Marcin Wojtas 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hi Jim, It's been a while, since I sent the patch. Any objections about merging? Is v4.11 kernel still a valid baseline or for the next releases or we should use v4.14? When is that transition and next release supposed to happen?

Gigabyte MP30-AR0
by Gordan Bobic 12 Nov '19

12 Nov '19

Hi, I am toying with the idea of getting a Gigabyte MP30-AR0 board (despite the insanely exorbitant price tag). Has anyone got the aarch64 CentOS working on one of those? Any special instructions? Also, if I get the ISO, is it bootable on aarch64? Does the installer work? Or does the image have to be used like on 32-bit ARM? Thanks. Gordan

Attempt to install Xfce by hand
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

You may have seen my posts around on my challenges to build a couple groups to do a group install. That got me to realize, that I probably know which rpms to install and I could 'do it by hand' for now. So first step was: yum install glx-utils initial-setup-gui mesa-dri-drivers plymouth-system-theme spice-vdagent xorg-x11-drivers xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-xinit xvattr tigervnc-server wayland-protocols-devel xorg-x11-drv-keyboard xorg-x11-drv-libinput xorg-x11-drv-mouse xorg-x11-drv-openchrome Where xorg-x11-drv-openchrome was not available, but is flagged optional in the group. This installed 16 packages and 263 dependents. Next the actual Xfce: yum install Thunar xfce-utils xfce4-panel xfce4-session xfce4-settings xfconf xfdesktop xfwm4 gdm leafpad openssh-askpass orage polkit-gnome thunar-archive-plugin thunar-volman tumbler xfce4-appfinder xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-power-manager xfce4-session-engines xfce4-terminal xfwm4-theme-nodoka xfwm4-themes pinentry First this showed: No package xfce-utils available. No package leafpad available. No package thunar-archive-plugin available. No package xfce4-icon-theme available. No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available. No leafpad is OK, as a check shows that mousepad is available and this is what is in Fedora28. No xfce-utils is not good. It got worst with critical missing dependencies that need to be fixed before I could get this to work: Error: Package: xfce4-power-manager-1.4.1-4.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.3-1.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 Error: Package: xfce4-session-4.10.1-8.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 Error: Package: orage-4.10.0-5.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 Error: Package: Thunar-1.6.3-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 Error: Package: xfce4-appfinder-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 Error: Package: xfce4-session-engines-4.10.1-8.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 Error: Package: thunar-volman-0.8.0-6.el7.armv7hl (epel) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6 Available: libxfce4util-4.10.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) libxfce4util.so.6 Installing: libxfce4util-4.12.1-2.el7.armv7hl (epel) ~libxfce4util.so.7 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest I am going to have to put this on the back burner until someone can fix these. I do not have the skill sets to do it. But having Xcfe would be great for an armv7 SOC over Gnome!

Hi All, I’m a newbie to arm architecture. I want to setup a development VM with ARMv8 board using QEMU/KVM on CentOS based host. Is there any documentation available to try out? Or is there any other easy way to achieve this as i need to have a Development setup for CentOS? Please suggest me if any other better way to achieve this. Thanks, Karthi

install via vnc
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

yesterday I did a gnome image install. I have a monitor/keybd/mouse that I connected, as you MUST go through the GUI setup before the serial console gets to the login prompt, it seems. I then proceeded to switch to multi-user, install vncserver and get vnc client access going. It would be nice if an option for headless install would support the remote vnc access that I once, a long time ago, used for an install. What would it take to have this as an installation option?

Generic armhfp / aarch64 root filesystem for CentOS 7.5.1804
by Uli Middelberg 17 Sep '18

Hi Fabian, hi Jim, the CentOS 7.5.1804 iso images have been released for a while now and I'm wondering if you have plans to provide a generic armhfp / aarch64 root filesystem [1],[2] as well? Cheers Uli [1] https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/images-testing/CentOS-Userland-7-armv7… [2] http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.4.1708/isos/aarch64/CentOS-7-aarch64-roo…
