Pablo's special 4.19 1820 image is working for my Odroid HC1. I have pushed out my documentation at: http://medon.htt-consult.com/CentOS7-armv7-odroid.html with my general documentation at: http://medon.htt-consult.com/CentOS7-armv7.html thanks for all the help here!

File system corruption
by Stephan Guilloux 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Hello all, I noticed many many filesystem corruptions, after raspberry 3B reboot. For instance, with image Raspberry 1804, "yum update and reboot" made my RPM DB corrupted rather often after reboot. We found some other scenarios, but all less easy to reproduce. Somehow, we came to the conclusion that we had to start some kind of stressing tool, and this how it comes out: - install SD-Card with last CentOS image available (kernel 4.14.82) - create a 4Gb primary partition #4, starting at 2Gb with help of fdisk. - then, grow partition #3 with rootfs-expand. - format partition #4 as EXT4, with default parameters. In a stress-loop - mount partition #4 - copy huge number of files (/usr/) to partition #4 (cd /usr ; tar -c . ) | (cd /mnt/ ; tar -x) - umount part #4 - fsck on partition #4 The script breaks the loop when FSCK returns status different than 0. Only a couple of iterations are enough to crash partition #4. I just tried the same with EXT2, and result is identical. Any idea to make this "system" less vulnerable ?

Updated CentOS arm guide - please review
by Robert Moskowitz 16 Dec '18

16 Dec '18

I have updated my Centos arm guide: http://medon.htt-consult.com/CentOS7-armv7.html Note the case change per Pablo's request, and thus it is not yet linked in from the home page. I added a number of sections. A pointer to the Odroid HC1 page. I will work on this so it stands out more. Xfce desktop zram for swap - note that the repo listed does not work. Waiting on guidance from Marc on this one. Improvements on the Remote Management to support VNC to an Xfce desktop I will link this in once Pablo has the new image in production and at least the zram access works. thanks in advance for all comments

Some while ago did some work on this, resulting in a prematurely image with a at the time of creation latest kernel 4.18.16-202. It was not my intention to make a aarch64 image for a RPI, nor will it be in the future; Just out of "academic curiosity " installed bcm283x-firmware and rpi3-u-boot.bin to try to boot it with a RPI. And it did :) _Note_ this is far from anything decent at least it boots :) (1) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RIWYxPadxsf_M-igFxPaP8FmwKA3Jcki It boots very slow!

I am trying to add xscreensaver manually. I did a yum install xscreensaver and it also installed the following dependencies: 1:xscreensaver-gl-base-5.39-3.el7.armv7hl 1:xscreensaver-5.39-3.el7.armv7hl 1:xscreensaver-base-5.39-3.el7.armv7hl 1:xscreensaver-extras-5.39-3.el7.armv7hl 1:xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.39-3.el7.armv7hl And when I vnc to the system and wait, xscreensaver kicks in with the defaults. But the control app is not in applications > settings And I can't figure out what to install. greping for xscreensaver frm a yum list, I get: cinnamon-screensaver.armv7hl 3.6.1-2.el7 epel cinnamon-screensaver-unsupported.noarch 3.6.1-2.el7 epel gnome-screensaver.armv7hl 3.6.1-14.el7 epel kdeartwork-screensavers.armv7hl 4.10.5-4.el7 base mate-screensaver.armv7hl 1.16.1-1.el7 epel mate-screensaver-devel.armv7hl 1.16.1-1.el7 epel xscreensaver.armv7hl 1:5.39-3.el7 epel xscreensaver-base.armv7hl 1:5.39-3.el7 epel xscreensaver-extras.armv7hl 1:5.39-3.el7 epel xscreensaver-extras-gss.armv7hl 1:5.39-3.el7 epel xscreensaver-gl-base.armv7hl 1:5.39-3.el7 epel xscreensaver-gl-extras.armv7hl 1:5.39-3.el7 epel xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss.armv7hl 1:5.39-3.el7 epel What of the above might be the control app? thanks

Xfce desktop works

Even on the headless Odroid-HC1! Pablo, thanks for getting the Xfce group into epel! Steps I took was: Add epel repo per the CentOS arm web site. yum groupinstall xfce This should be enough for those of you with a standard video console. But the HC1 is headless, and if you also want to use vnc.... first follow the instructions to install vncserver per my instructions at http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-armv7.html I will be updating this... log into the user account. run vncpasswd You typically have to do this after installing vncserver and before starting it. after getting a successful start of vncserver (may take a system reboot), log into the user account, and edit ~/.vnc/xstartup, delete the last two lines and append: exec /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc xrdb $HOME/.Xresources startxfce4 & restart vncserver and you can now vnc into your server. Even a headless HC1.
