GNOME crashes in Wayland whenever I try to move a file in Nautilus
by Steven R 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

This behavior only started after this morning's pile of updates. I run GNOME with Wayland, and whenever I try to move a file in Nautilus, the GNOME session crashes, and I'm thrown into a console. I tried an older kernel, and the behavior is the same. This only happens in Wayland. In an X11 session, everything works, so the workaround is to run X11. I saw that gnome-shell was one of the packages upgraded today. Is that where a bug should be filed? I don't know where to look for this in the logs.

Can anybody provide a rough estimate on a release (Alpha, Beta, RC, etc) of CentOS Stream 9 -- the point where we can install and then update from the repo?

CFP for October Dojo ends soon
by Rich Bowen 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

The Call for Presentations for the October CentOS Dojo closes next weekend - September 6th, 00:01 UTC. FYI: As it currently stands, we have enough content for just one day, and so will probably cancel day two of the event. Unless ... more of you are interested in presenting on your work in and around CentOS. We want to hear from the SIGs about what they're working on. We want to hear from CPE and the CentOS Stream crew about what's coming in the months and years ahead. So, don't wait. Get your talk proposals in soon! --Rich

c8-plus repo also ...
by Leon Fauster 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

With the recent thunderbird update (also provided via c8-plus repo), I wonder what will happen with this repo (maybe already answered). Will it also go EOL at the end of the year? -- Leon

In our ongoing effort to make CentOS governance more open and transparent, we would like to invite all of you to an open Q&A, "town hall" style meeting with some members of the CentOS Board of directors, as a followup to our recent board of directors meeting. This meeting will happen in #centos-meeting, on the Libera.chat IRC network, at 1400 UTC `date -d '1400 UTC'` <-- Display this time in your local time zone. We hope to have published the minutes of the August Board meeting by that time. All topics relating to the CentOS project are welcome. We remind you that interactions on #centos-devel (and other CentOS IRC channels) are expected to occur according to the guidelines laid out in the CentOS Code of Conduct - https://www.centos.org/code-of-conduct/ If you would like to submit comments/questions without being on the record, you are welcome to submit those comments/questions anonymously here: https://forms.gle/oUUfWFPU8gLMFYp8A , and I will read those in the meeting.

[infra] : Planned outage : CI environment
by Fabian Arrotin 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Due to a previous hardware issue (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/ci-users/2020-October/002124.html) we had a workaround in place that is still in place but is actually blocking a reorg of the infra used behind ci.centos.org. We are announcing a maintenance window that will permit us to move network switches, and reconfigure the network properly , allowing also us to redeploy/load balance our workload across remaining available infrastructure. Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday August 17th, 1:00 pm UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2021-08-17 13:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~60 minutes , time needed to migrate services, reconfigure network switch and restart the nodes connected to new network switch. Impacted services in CI env: - duffy API (unavailable during the move to other hypervisor, so normally unavailable for ~10min) : no way to request a duffy node for bare-metal tests - jenkins (aka ci.centos.org) and all agents connected to it - cloud.cico (opennebula infra used to provide Virtual Machines for CI tenants) Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab
