New binary package set for EL6 x86_64
by Jonathan Perkin 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Hi users of EL6 based distributions, I'm pleased to announce a new alternative binary package repository for EL6 x86_64. The aim is to provide a supplemental set of packages which may contain software not included in your base system. These packages are based on pkgsrc, a cross-platform package manager. In this initial release there are 13,152 packages available. For now I am specifically targetting EL6/x86_64 (the build host is CentOS 6.5) to see what kind of interest in this. If there is reasonable interest I can produce packages for other targets based on popularity. To install, download and unpack the bootstrap kit: $ curl -s http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Linux/bootstrap/bootstrap-2014Q2-el6-x86_… | sudo tar -zxpf - -C / Packages are self-contained under the /usr/pkg prefix: $ PATH=$PATH:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/pkg/bin $ MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/pkg/man Included is the "pkgin" binary package manager, which has been designed to operate similar to yum/apt-get: # Fetch latest database $ sudo pkgin update # Search for a package $ pkgin search tmux # Install it $ sudo pkgin install tmux # See what is available $ pkgin avail | less Further details and similar binary package sets for SmartOS/illumos and OSX can be found here: http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/ Feedback is highly appreciated! Let me know if there is anything we can do to improve these packages, or if they are unwelcome. You can email me or @jperkin, or alternatively get involved in the pkgsrc community - our aim is to provide cross-platform packages for over 20 different operating systems from the same source tree. Thanks, -- Jonathan Perkin - Joyent, Inc. - www.joyent.com

How to have two interfaces with dhcp using networkd but taking the dns/ntp stuff from only one
by Mauricio Tavares 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Ok, we can take both but needs to be in a specific order. So, we have two ethernet interfaces, A and B. And both are defined in /etc/systemd/network/ to use dhcp. How to guarantee that the crap provided by dhcp to A (dns, gateway, ntp) is the default? To use an example, /etc/resolv.conf should end up like nameserver IP.for.A.DNS nameserver IP.for.B.DNS domain A.domain.com Now, this must be done using only systemd stuff

CentOS 7 Anaconda GUI resolution
by Daniel Johnson 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings! I tried installing CentOS v7 (1406) to an old spare machine, and the video card apparently don't play well with X. It is incorrectly saying that either monitor I connect is only able to support 640x480, when one is 1024x768 and the other supports a higher (but now forgotten) resolution. In no way do I expect a fix to be added just to support my antique. :) What I'd like to find, or have added to future CentOS installation discs, is a way to force the GUI resolution. Alternately, if nothing below 800x600 will show the GUI properly perhaps the installer should just forcibly set that as the minimum, no matter what the hardware claims to allow? Details of the hardware and such follow, let me know if you need more. =-=-=-=-=-= Under the normal boot from the normal DVD, graphics-mode output is discolored and squashed to the left of the display. In the "Basic Graphics" troubleshooting mode the output is clear and proper, but still just 640x480. Server: Gateway E-9422R Video card: Matrox Graphics MGA G200e, PCI 102b:0522 I captured the output of lspci, dmidecode, /tmp, and /var/log in both Normal and Basic Graphics boot modes. The file is 1,692,776 bytes and has the following SHA1 checksum: f9cd800ced963e29d0bb3e4381596dc3b61a4c4c *CentOS7_InstallerResolutionProblem.tar.xz It can be downloaded from this link: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=55151826488339350948 Daniel Johnson djohnson(a)progman.us -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlO/N1gACgkQ6vGcUBY+ge+5CwCgnRG1En1ZORoj5Q8tKFyApX13 xukAoJ309KaZJjZAc69REBz9p0J9Yxum =iTJm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

CentOS 7 in VirtualBox
by Wes James 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

I installed CentOS 7 in VirtualBox in OS X Yosemite, but the NIC is not getting an IP address. So I thought it was a problem with the thunderbolt adapter. I then installed CentOS 7 in VirtualBox on a box with CentOS 6.5. The network doesn't work in the VM either. Anyone tried CentOS 7 in VirtualBox (latest version) and have the network working? Thanks, -wes

I have windows 8.1, linux mint vm's on my centos 6.5 box and they all work with networking, but centos 7 vm doesn't have any networking. Do I need to install the VM tools for the network to work. I don't remember having to do that. In cents 7 vm's, I don't get the nat'd IP address that is usually there :( Thanks, -wes

I used this on my mac and it worked: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey I had to format the usb stick to fat with master boot record selected. I don't know why I had to do that first, but dd wouldn't work properly without doing that first. -wes

Hi, I'm searching for centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.3.src.rpm. Id like to customize it for installations without internet available, so using our local private mirror. I did not find it on: http://vault.centos.org/7.0.1406/os/Source/SPackages/ http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7.00.04/centos-release/20140704062900/7-0.1406… https://git.centos.org/log/!!!!rpms!centos-release.git/refs!heads!c7 nor anywhere else.

And I do not believe, although I could be mistaken on the point, that Linus's current thoughts on Systemd would be considered printable in a public forum. At a guess, I would put it right up there with Gnome2 in his estimation -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
