Re: [CentOS-devel] Help needed to Install CentOS on Zynq ZC706 ARM cortex A9
by Piyush Jadhav 13 May '19

13 May '19

Hi Pablo, Sorry for the late reply and thank you for pushing us for getting the serial port repaired, the port was not functioning. Now that we have it working, I have started to debug through the serial communication, but I want to raise some doubts in the process. In the blog, https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp, the last step is to *dd* the *u-boot-with-spl.bin* file as follows, > dd if=/usr/share/uboot/${boardmodel}/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=${sdcard} bs=1024 seek=8 conv=fsync,notrunc > > But is missing how to load the *u-boot-spl.bin *and* u-boot.img. *Could you please shine some light on this for us? I understand that the order has to be ROM code -> SPL -> u-boot -> kernel. Does it means that I have to also dd u-boot.img, like here, > dd if=u-boot-spl.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=8 > dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=*X (?)* > > On the other hand, I also tried to boot with another method using only the centOS Rootfs file (in the root ext4 partition), and the Boot.bin and image.ub files (in boot partitions) which I created using petalinux/yocto. The kernel boots up but falls into the kernel panic, with errors as *cant execute the /sbin/init - (error -8)* -> which refers as permission denied. Please let us know what you think of this too! Thanks a ton in advance!

Installing kernel 4.14.34 through kickstart
by Far Had 06 May '19

06 May '19

Hi, Trying to compile and put kernel 4.14.34 into the CentOS 7 (1511 release) DVD with a ks.cfg already configured. This ks DVD has been working fine with the original 3.10 kernel. Here is what I did: I built rpm packages of the 4.14.34 kernel with disabled kernel debugging option. This gave me 3 rpm files: kernel, kernel-header and kernel devel. I replaced them with their equivalents in isolinux/packages directory in the DVD ISO image and made a new ISO file out of it. when booting from this image, automatic installation fails after installing all packages in the post installation at "generating initramfs" phase. The exact error text is: "No such file or directory" (image attached) Regards.

IRC Meeting Changes
by John R. Dennison 01 May '19

01 May '19

For the past few years the CentOS Project has been holding IRC meetings for our various Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and other projects in the #centos-devel channel on the freenode IRC network. This has, for the most part, worked out fairly well. However, as this is a shared channel, at times things can become a bit hectic and confusing as people occasionally interrupt a meeting in progress. Not only does this break the flow of the meeting but it also injects noise into the logs that the project maintains for historical reference. This policy was also different from most other projects which have a dedicated "meetings" channel to be used for these purposes. In order to address the issue the project has made the decision to transition meetings to the #centos-meeting channel. This is a dedicated channel to be used solely for meetings. We feel this will help alleviate any potential issues with interruptions and other distractions. This channel is managed by the same group of people, our IRC Ops Team, as is #centos-devel and our channel bots are present to help as necessary. An additional bonus of this transition will be that the meeting bot (centbot) responsible for meeting oversight and logging will now be able to set the channel topic to reflect meeting status. This was not previously possible due to policy as we did not want to have the bot op'd unless absolutely necessary in a shared channel. We are planning this transition for June 1st in order to give the stakeholders involved ample time to alert their communities of the change and to ensure we have made the necessary changes on our end to ensure a smooth transition for people who access the logs via the https://www.centos.org/minutes/ interface. Any questions regarding this transition should be addressed either via the centos-devel mailing list or on the #centos-devel IRC channel on freenode. Additionally people can reach out to me personally on IRC (Bahhumbug on freenode) or via email if they have questions or concerns regarding this or other CentOS IRC matters. Thanks and see you in #centos-meeting :) -- The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake - you can't learn anything from being perfect. -- Adam Osborne (1939-2003), American entrepreneur

[RDO] Stein RDO Release Announcement
by Rain Leander 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

If you're having trouble with the formatting, this release announcement is available online https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2019/04/rdo-stein-released/ --- The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Stein for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Stein is the 19th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1200 contributors <http://stackalytics.com/> from around the world. The release is already available on the CentOS mirror network at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/x86_64/openstack-stein/. The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Linux and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud>. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS Linux users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds. All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform <https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/openstack-platform>, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first. <https://i2.wp.com/blogs.rdoproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/yucel-mor…>Photo by Yucel Moran on Unsplash New and Improved Interesting things in the Stein release <https://releases.openstack.org/stein/highlights.html> include: - Ceph Nautilus <https://ceph.com/releases/v14-2-0-nautilus-released/> is the default version of Ceph, a free-software storage platform, implements object storage on a single distributed computer cluster, and provides interfaces for object-, block- and file-level storage, within RDO (or is it the default without OpenStack?). Within Nautilus, the Ceph Dashboard has gained a lot of new functionality like support for multiple users / roles, SSO (SAMLv2) for user authentication, auditing support, a new landing page showing more metrics and health info, I18N support, and REST API documentation with Swagger API. - The extracted Placement service <https://docs.openstack.org/placement/latest/usage/index.html>, used to track cloud resource inventories and usages to help other services effectively manage and allocate their resources, is now packaged as part of RDO. Placement has added the ability to target a candidate resource provider, easing specifying a host for workload migration, increased API performance by 50% for common scheduling operations, and simplified the code by removing unneeded complexity, easing future maintenance. Other improvements include: - The TripleO deployment service <http://tripleo.org/>, used to develop and maintain tooling and infrastructure able to deploy OpenStack in production, using OpenStack itself wherever possible, added support for podman and buildah for containers and container images. Open Virtual Network (OVN) is now the default network configuration and TripleO now has improved composable network support for creating L3 routed networks and IPV6 network support. Contributors During the Stein cycle, we saw the following new RDO contributors: - Sławek Kapłoński - Tobias Urdin - Lee Yarwood - Quique Llorente - Arx Cruz - Natal Ngétal - Sorin Sbarnea - Aditya Vaja - Panda - Spyros Trigazis - Cyril Roelandt - Pranali Deore - Grzegorz Grasza - Adam Kimball - Brian Rosmaita - Miguel Duarte Barroso - Gauvain Pocentek - Akhila Kishore - Martin Mágr - Michele Baldessari - Chuck Short - Gorka Eguileor Welcome to all of you and Thank You So Much for participating!

The full schedule is available at https://releases.openstack.org/train/schedule.html. Twice during each release cycle, RDO hosts official Test Days shortly after the first and third milestones; therefore, the upcoming test days are 13-14 June 2019 for Milestone One and 16-20 September 2019 for Milestone Three. Get Started There are three ways to get started with RDO. To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation <https://www.rdoproject.org/install/packstack/>. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works. For a production deployment of RDO, use the TripleO Quickstart <https://www.rdoproject.org/tripleo/> and you’ll be running a production cloud in short order. Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program <https://www.openstack.org/passport>. This is a collaborative effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public cloud providers around the world. Get Help The RDO Project participates in a Q&A service at https://ask.openstack.org. We also have our users(a)lists.rdoproject.org <https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users> for RDO-specific users and operrators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org mailing list <https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/dev>. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org <https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo>. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org <https://www.rdoproject.org/>. The #rdo channel on Freenode IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help. We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS mailing lists <https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo> and the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel, and #tripleo on irc.freenode.net) however we have a more focused audience within the RDO venues. Get Involved To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, check out the RDO contribute pages <https://www.rdoproject.org/contribute/>, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud>, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation <https://www.rdoproject.org/documentation/rdo-packaging/>. Join us in #rdo on the Freenode IRC network and follow us on Twitter @RDOCommunity <http://twitter.com/rdocommunity/>. You can also find us on Facebook <https://facebook.com/rdocommunity> and YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWYIPZ4lm4P3_pzZ9Hx9awg>.

Suggestion regarding CentOS 8 artwork
by jatin 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

We are getting closer to the GA of RHEL 8 and as posted on twitter that they need new artwork it will be great to have the Logo of the same theme. Both Red hat and fedora have a logo of head accessories i.e a hat and a fedora. It will be great to have centOS artwork of a similar kind thats what my suggestion is. A bit about myself - Jatin Garg Nation- India DOB - 18th December 2001 Notable contributions to CentOS project - https://github.com/jatin-cbs/Lutris-RHEL-CentOS7 making lutris wine gaming accessible on RHEL, CentOS to users creating sh scripts.

python3 version of centos-packager/python-centos
by Troy Dawson 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hi, I'm just curious if there is a python3 version of centos-packager, and python-centos? With python2 nearing end of life and RHEL8/CentOS8 being python3 based, it would be a good time for it to be python3 based. Although, if it's a matter of priorities, I'd prefer CentOS8 being out sooner, versus centos-packager in python3. I was more asking incase there was a version someone was working on that I might be able to test/use.
