"Software" "restart and update" does not work when running Xfce
by Andy Hall 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Please note that when running Xfce ( from the official yum groupinstall ) the "restart and update" button in the "Software" application does not actually restart the computer. A manual restart is required. Hardly a showstopper...but thought it worth mentioning.

CentOS 8.2 Devel repo is empty
by Troy Dawson 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

As the subject says, the CentOS 8.2 (2004) Devel repo is empty.[1] On behalf of the EPEL community, we would really like this repo re-populated. Also, on behalf of the EPEL community, we would also like the rest of the packages that have been requested [2] to either be added to Devel, or at least given a reason why they aren't. If there is already a bug/issue open for this repo being empty, please point me to it. Otherwise I will open a bug/issue.

CentOS 8 and qla2xxx
by Lamar Owen 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

I have several servers with QLogic fibre-channel HBAs in the ISP24xx series, notably the ISP2432. This card has been removed from the C8 kernel's ID list. I looked at ELrepo, but there's not a kmod for the qla2xxx like there is for megaraid_sas (which I'm using; many thanks to ELrepo), and I don't see the qla2xxx referenced in the patchlist for the CentOS Plus kernel-plus packages. Anyone else here using these older 4Gb fibre-channel cards with C8? The Bugzilla number referenced by the changelog (1572233) is of course not accessible, even when I'm logged in and have a valid subscription to RHEL; I would like to know the rationale (similar to target mode on qla2xxx; apparently a 'management' decision to not support; I would love to just know why). I know 4Gb fibre-channel isn't exactly exciting tech these days, but I have a lot of storage that uses it that isn't going to be upgraded any time soon. I have a ton of ISP2464 cards, but they're just a bit too large to fit in a Dell PE1950. Yeah, might be a bit old but they still have a lot of life left in them for lots of uses!

UEFI secure boot / kernel 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64
by Leon Fauster 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

Are they any known issues in booting kernel 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 (8.2 (2004)) with secure boot enabled? I have this issue https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2020-June/350702.html and wonder if the qa team has found any problem? The corresponding kernel-plus also doesn't boot ... -- Thanks Leon

by Troy Dawson 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

RHEL 8.2 and CentOS 8.2 have an updated qt5. This updated qt5 allowed us to update the KDE Plasma Desktop in EPEL8. We are not at the following versions. qt5 - 5.12 plasma - 5.18 [1] kf5 - 5.68 / 19.12 apps - 5.18 / 19.12 Installation Instructions: ### First: install epel-release rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm ### Second: Enable codeready-builder or PowerTools subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms #### If CentOS 8 do dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools #### If CentOS Stream do dnf config-manager --enable Stream-PowerTools ### Third: install KDE dnf group install "KDE Plasma Workspaces" or dnf group install kde-desktop (Optional) dnf group install kde-media (Optional) dnf group install kde-apps (Optional) dnf install okular ### (Optional) Fourth: Set sddm as desktop manager ### Required if you started from a minimal install systemctl set-default graphical.target [if in multi-user.target] dnf install sddm\* systemctl enable sddm -f reboot ### (Optional) If you installed in GNOME systemctl reload gdm Known Issues: Several (about 50%) settings do not work in System Settings. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1838801 Help resolving this bug would be appreciated. It is irritating, but not critical. Many thanks to all who helped with this. Troy Dawson [1] plasma-nm is currently at 5.15. This has been verified to work. We will hopefully be able to update it to 5.18 within a month.
