MATE 1.20 test build for CentOS 7 available
by Greg Bailey 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Hi everyone, There's been discussions in the past about updating MATE RPMs in EPEL-7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1436260 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-August/173154.html (and lots of others...) As a proof-of-concept, I've written some scripts that clone specific commits from the Fedora master branches, and then runs a tool to re-apply RPM scriptlets that are required by EL7 but removed from the Fedora .spec files. The scripts are available at: https://github.com/gebailey/mate-rpms/tree/master/1.20/el7 There's also instructions there if you want to try upgrading to MATE 1.20 w/o rebuilding them yourself. If these packages work for others, perhaps we can revisit the idea of updating the epel7 branches of the Fedora git repos and submitting an official update. There's nothing here (yet) about building MATE 1.22 (which might require a newer gcc for EL7), or building anything on CentOS 8, but thought the CentOS 7 users might find this helpful. -Greg

CentOS advisories for 8 release
by Olivier Bonhomme 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

Hello dear CentOS community, I'm writing on this mailing list because I'm discovering CentOS 8 after several years of practice on CentOS 7. One of my main concern about a distribution is Bug Fixes and Security Fixes. For CentOS 7, all fixes where identified on CentOS-Announces lists with CESA, CEBA and CEEA which is a good thing in order to identify how a distribution can be broken, vulnerable. However, I didn't find any announcement for CentOS 8. I tried to investigate about any changes about announcement policies but I didn't find anything reliable. So I'm asking here what is exactly the status about announcements for CentOS 8 ? Is it a thing who totally disappeared replaced by Red Hat advisories or is it something different ? Or maybe it is just not planned yet ? Explanations would be very welcomed. Thanks for your answer Regards, Olivier Bonhomme

LibreOffice locking up
by H 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

I am running LibreOffice 5.3.6.1 under the latest update of CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop. Not infrequently LibreOffice Calc locks up and I have to force close the application. Altough the spreadsheet is rather large I would not consider it complex. This has been going on for some time and I am curious if the bug might be in LibreOffice or if there is some interaction with the Mate desktop that might be responsible. Both CentOS, LibreOffice and Mate have been regularly updated from the standard repositories for a long time. Does anyone else have the same problem?

C8 - Register with Red Hat
by Gregory P. Ennis 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Everyone, I am still in the low end of the learning curve with Centos 8, and keep getting warning messages to register with Red Hat. Is this a requirement for C8. I do not have a user ID with Red Hat; will they give a user ID for a Centos user. "This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register." Thanks, Greg Ennis

EL8: SElinux / dac_override / tmpwatch
by Leon Fauster 29 Aug '20

29 Aug '20

Hi, I'm moving some old stuff from EL6 to EL8 and one setup has a cron job which uses "tmpwatch -umc $dir" to clean some directories (/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch). It seems that this triggers this AVC (SElinux mode is enforcing): type=AVC msg=audit(1598576896.772:4267): avc: denied { dac_override } for pid=11013 comm="tmpwatch" capability=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:tmpreaper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:tmpreaper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability permissive=0 The tmpwatch exec line had "--force" before and I was hopping that this "capability" was the cause and deleted it but this night the AVC are still appearing. Is cron running in EL8 with stripped CAPs of? Does some one have an idea to address this? -- Thanks, Leon

CentOS 8 installer bug
by isdtor 28 Aug '20

28 Aug '20

Has anyone managed to create an encrypted disk partition with CentOS 8 kickstart? 1 reqpart --add-boot 2 part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --ondrive=sda 3 part pv.1 --size=1 --grow --ondrive=sda --encrypted --pashphrase="bla" 4 volgroup vol0 pv.100000 5 logvol / --vgname=vg_00 --name=lv_root --size=102400 --fstype=ext4 ... No matter what I specify in line 3, the installer bombs out. The only way to successful kickstart is to not encrypt the lvm pv. The contents of the passphrase are not to blame, installer still dies after accepting a passphrase from the console. 15:57:45,280 DBG kickstart: Looking for platform-specific boot requirements. 15:57:45,281 DBG kickstart: Applying requirements: PartSpec instance (0x7fbd40f44320) -- mountpoint = /boot/efi lv = False thin = False btrfs = False ... PartSpec instance (0x7fbd4048b4e0) -- mountpoint = /boot lv = False thin = False btrfs = False ... 15:57:45,283 DBG bootloader: stage1 device cannot be of type disk 15:57:45,334 DBG exception: running handleException 15:57:45,334 CRT exception: Traceback (most recent call last):
