NFS Share fails to mount at boot time
by Felix Natter 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

hello fellow CentOS Users, on Scientific Linux 7 (_very_ similar to CentOS7), I get this when trying to mount NFS Shares (exported from Synology NAS) automatically at boot time: [root@HOST ~]# journalctl -b 0 | grep NAS[20] Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: Mounting /mnt/NAS0... Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: Mounting /mnt/NAS2... Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: mnt-NAS0.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=32 Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: Failed to mount /mnt/NAS0. Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: Unit mnt-NAS0.mount entered failed state. Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: mnt-NAS2.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=32 Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: Failed to mount /mnt/NAS2. Jul 01 13:32:09 HOST systemd[1]: Unit mnt-NAS2.mount entered failed state. I read that enabling NetworkManager-wait-online.service can mitigate that, but it's already enabled: [root@HOST ~]# systemctl list-unit-files|grep wait chrony-wait.service disabled NetworkManager-wait-online.service enabled plymouth-quit-wait.service disabled /mnt/NAS2 is defined in /etc/fstab (/mnt/NAS0 is mounted analogously): NAS2HOST:/volume1/export/ /mnt/NAS2 nfs rw,vers=3,soft,bg,intr 0 0 This does not always occur, and it seems to be a race condition, because it did not occur a few months ago, before we moved offices (when only the networking changed slightly). Of course, once the computer is booted, I can always mount the shares without problems. Does someone have an idea? Many Thanks and Best Regards, -- Felix Natter

Microsoft Teams on CentOS 7. Does the latest version work?
by Toralf Lund 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Does anyone else run Microsoft Teams on CentOS 7? I've used it for a while now, and it's generally worked reasonably well. However, after upgrading to the latest version from the Microsoft repos, it doesn't start up properly. Processes start and remain active until I give up and kill them, but I can't see a window or a tray icon or anything. Has anyone else seen this? Is there anything I can do to make the GUI appear? This is not a big deal as everything just works fine if I revert to the previous release, but it would be interesting to know if this is a general problem with the software, or I have some weird issue with my system. The release that doesn't work is 1.4.00.13653. The one that does is 1.4.00.7556. - Toralf

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

Installing openLDAP on Centos 7
by Gary Stainburn 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

I am following the howto on https://linuxhostsupport.com/blog/how-to-install-ldap-on-centos-7/ which matches a number of other howto's. I have tried this on two Centos 7 boxes and both fail in the same way when trying to set the certificates. I have tried <insert search engine here> without success. I found that by adding '-d 1' you enable debugging, but the debugging did not help. Anyone got any suggestions? All steps prior to this worked successfully.

Upgrading CentOS from 7 to 8
by Gestió Servidors 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Hi, I'm doing some tests of upgrading CentOS from 7 to 8 reading this step-by-step guide: https://netshopisp.medium.com/how-to-upgrade-linux-servecentos-7-to-centos-… I'm trying this upgrade in a VM, so I can save "snapshots" and restart in a past saved point. However, all my test ends wrong, exacly in Step 4 when I run "rpm -e `rpm -q kernel`". Then, systems says that some packages are kernel dependencies. After I remove that dependencies, I can't remove kernel... Anybody has tested process upgrade from 7 to 8? Thanks.

But that isn't so easy. Maybe I can find out how to create a DUID and write something in perl; it doesn't seem to be too complicated in the source. The comment is interesting: /* * The "best" default DUID, since we cannot predict any information * about the system (such as whether or not the hardware addresses are * integrated into the motherboard or similar), is the "LLT", link local * plus time, DUID. For real stateless "LL" is better. * * Once generated, this duid is stored into the state database, and * retained across restarts. * * For the time being, there is probably a different state database for * every daemon, so this winds up being a per-interface identifier...which * is not how it is intended. Upcoming rearchitecting the client should * address this "one daemon model." */ I don't understand what the point of a DUID is which is /not/ a per-interface identifier. When I assign addresses via DHCP, I don't want them to end up being assigned anywhere else than to the interface they need to be assigned to. What is intended with these DUIDs? > Based on that, nmtui-connect might do what you want. That seems to only allow to bring up or down a connection but doesn't display DUIDs?

Re: [CentOS] Upgrading CentOS from 7 to 8

The way we did in place upgrades from CentOS 6 to 7 for our network appliance VMs: 1. Take a backup of our appliance (database, settings, uploads, etc.). Store the backup on a separate partition/volume. 2. Copy the CentOS 7 Minimal .iso, with our added packages, to the backup partition/volume (disk.iso in the below code). 3. Copy the initrd and vmlinuz images to the boot partition (cp loop/isolinux/vmlinuz loop/isolinux/initrd.img /boot/). 4. Backup the current GRUB config (cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bakupgrade). 5. Copy our custom kickstart file to the boot partition/volume. 6. Drop the upgrade GRUB menu config on the boot partition/volume. ``` default=0 timeout=0 serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 terminal --dumb --timeout=5 serial console title upgrade root (hd0,0) kernel vmlinuz rd.lvm=1 rd.md=1 inst.ks=hd:/dev/${disk_device}1://ks.cfg inst.repo=hd:/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_backup://disk.iso inst.sshd inst.cmdline inst.noninteractive inst.noshell inst.headless net.ifnames=0 selinux=0 ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0 vga=792 modprobe.blacklist=floppy consoleblank=0 biosdevname=0 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 initrd initrd.img ``` ${disk_device} can be found using: ``` disk_device=$(lsblk | grep disk | grep -e '^[h,s,v]da' -e 'xvda' -e 'nvme0n1' | awk '{print $1}' | head -1) ``` I can't guarantee the LVM route will work with CentOS 8, we had to use CentOS 7.3's LiveOS image to do this, as after that version the ability to access the .iso on a LVM disappeared (I think it was an unintended feature of 7.3 and older).

snmpd[11277]: Duplicate IPv4 address detected, some interfaces may not be visible in IP-MIB
by Thomas 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Hello. I have installed a new Centos 8 VM and trying to install net-snmp as I did already a 100 times. But this install is stressing me :-) I get the error in the subject when starting the snmpd daemon. I am 100% shure that there is no duplicate address on this machine. It has two IPv6 addresses in it's /64 range but the error speaks about IPv4. And it has just one IPv4 on the public interface and an internal IPv4 (private range) on its internal interface. Tried to create a new snmpd.conf file with "snmpconf -g basic_setup" but it gives always the same error. Anybody had this problem already? Thanks for any suggestions how to resolve this.
