Locked version repos
by Steven Barre 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hello Everyone I'm looking into the best way to have locked version repos for my CentOS systems. The systems are all set up with Chef and have a couple different recopies/roles. I'd like to have locked version repos for each role with tested RPMs. Then perhaps quarterly apply any updates. It would be nice to have something showing which updates are available for these locked repos. I'd also want to be able to just push single update RPMs into the repo (think heartbleed) I've had a look at spacewalk and katello, but they seem a bit complicated. Katello seems closer to what I'm looking for with its versioned "Content Views", but I don't see how I could selectively include some new packages in it. It seems like it only handles making new snapshots of the underlying repos. Maybe I'd be better off just setting up some repos on a web server and manually adding packages? I'd probably want a way to symlink packages to prevent disk bloat. What are other people doing out there? -- ================================================= Steven Barre, RHCE steven(a)realestatewebmasters.com Systems Administrator Real Estate Webmasters - 250-753-9893 ==================================================

video problem since 2015-04-01 update
by Francis Gerund 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hello! No updates for days until 2015-04-01. Then presented with huge steaming pile of updates all at once, apparently related to Centos 7.1 release. Not thinking about it being April Fools Day, I immediately did: yum -v check-update, then yum -v update then rebooted. After reboot, there is a problem with the video. It seems to flicker when the mouse pointer touches the screen edges. Also, sometimes when viewing pages in Firefox, the window becomes partially covered with horizontal black lines. During reboots, before the login screen appears, there are quickly disappearing messages seeming to include references to "drm:9" and some sort of "underrun". In the terminal window, I get a message: ABRT has detected 3 problem(s). For more info run: abrt-cli list --since 1428078184 When I do that, I get: id (blah, blah) reason: WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() time: Fri 03 Apr 2015 11:41:49 AM CDT cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=(blah, blah) ro vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 count: 1 Directory: /var/tmp/abrt/oops-2015-04-03-11:41:49-590-0 id (blah, blah) reason: WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() time: Wed 01 Apr 2015 12:02:12 PM CDT cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=(blah, blah) ro vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 package: kernel count: 11 Directory: /var/tmp/abrt/oops-2015-04-01-12:02:11-1220-1 Reported: cannot be reported id (blah, blah) reason: WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() time: Fri 03 Apr 2015 11:41:49 AM CDT cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=(blah, blah) ro vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Directory: /var/tmp/abrt/oops-2015-04-03-11:41:49-590-1 Reported: cannot be reported The Autoreporting feature is disabled.

So is this line where the problem may be?: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() Started to search online for information, but quickly decided: 1) available info is over my head 2) when in a hole, stop digging So, any obvious answers, other than a complete reinstall? Note: I really thought Centos is about reinstalling after years, not months. Grrr . . .

Re: [CentOS] suspend / hibernate via lid / button doesn't work
by ken 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Damjan, Glad to hear that worked for you. I don't know if the gnome people can make this very much easier. Different version of different linux distros might invoke hibernate differently. How would they know which one to map to the lid button? Also, some people might want to invoke sleep rather than hibernate. If there were system commands which were persistent over all distros and versions, then maybe they could offer these two mention options (with explanations of each). Yes, that would be an improvement. Best, ken On 04/13/2015 10:38 AM, Damjan Zemljič wrote: > Hi Ken, > I did that at the end - set keyboard shortcuts (+ sudo ... without > password).

install woes
by Chuck Campbell 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

I'm really at a loss. I had 5.11 running on this machine, from this physical boot disk, until I stepped on /bin the other day. I've tried installing Centos 5.10 and 5.11 to this Seagate 1TB drive. Both installs run perfectly, but when I try to reboot, grub says Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xee googling this indicates that the disk has a GUID partition table. This must have been done by the installer??? If so, why doesn't it get the boot loader set up correctly? Sigh, So stage two of the saga, I thought I would try to install CentOS 6.5 (I had the dvds burned already). It boots, but claims the install image is corrupt. I re-downloaded CentOS 6.6, verified the checksums and burned a new dvd set. it boots, but when I test the media, it says the same thing (install image has errors). If I try to skip media checks, it just ejects the disk and says insert the CentOS disk. I burned a new set of disks, identical behavior. I downloaded from a completely different mirror, validated checksums and burned new disks. I get identical behavior. I'm not sure what to do next, but I need to get this machine back up and running. I'm thinking of getting a different boot disk to install 5.11 to. I have no idea why CentOS 6.6 refuses to install. -chuck --

install problem
by Chuck Campbell 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

I shot myself in the foot today. I had a centos 5.11 install running fine. Doing a backup, I overwrote the /bin directory by mistake. I couldn't get my machine to recognize a centos 6.5 or 6.6 install dvd, so I put in the original centos 5.10 install disc and re-installed. No problem. During the text installer, I told it to install grub on /dev/sdc1, which is /boot. My raid arrays with lots of data (still intact) are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, so I didn't want it to install grub on the MBR of /dev/sda. When I power it on, the kernel selection comes up, I select the (only) kernel and it says: Booting 'Centos (2.6.18-371.el5)' root (hd2,0) filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-371.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet Error 15: file not found Press any key to continue So it is finding the /boot/grub/grub.conf and reading it correctly. /boot (/dev/sdc1) actually contains the vmlinux-2.6.18-371.el5 file as well as all the other related files that belong there. I installed onto the same hard disk that the last OS was on, reformatting the /, /boot, /usr partitions and installing to them. /boot is /dev/sdc1 and / is on /dev/sdc5. No errors or problems in the install. should the root (hd2,0) line above actually read root (hd2,4) where the real / partition is (/dev/sdc5)?? I booted linux rescue with the 5.10 install disk, and I see that the /boot/grub/grub.conf file looks correct, and all the correct files are there in /boot. I am confused and don't know what to do next. thanks, -chuck --

Re: [CentOS] Access Problem after update to CentOS 7.1
by Don Vogt 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

I hope I am not just mudding the water but I ran into a problem in updating to 7.1 and a license accptance, which I solved - for me. I booted into a gui in 7.0, opened a terminal and issued a sudo yum update command. I don't know at this time whether that qualifies as a GUI update or a CLI update. After the update to 7.1, the reboot (in the terminal in X) hung up on a message that said something like " license not accepted. Enter y to accept or C to continue" I tried both and neither worked. I did some googling and found a bug (in Bugzilla I believe) from several months ago. It was against the initial-setup script. I didn't (and don't ) understand all they were saying about whether they need that block of code in the script. The thing that solved my problem was that it said the right answer is 1, and 2 "not Y and C". I am sorry I can't confirm this because I don't know how to run the initial-setup script now that I have managed to boot. I hope this helps someone.

disk order question
by Chuck Campbell 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

I'm not sure, but I think I may be having a disk order issue related to my installation woes. When I boot the installer, it sees /dev/sda and /dev/sdb on my 3ware disk controller (both multi TB raid 5 arrays). It also sees /dev/sdc, which is the target disk for the installation. The install runs fine (5.11, BTW) and tells me to reboot. My reboot fails. If I go into grub and do a find /grub/grub.conf it returns (hd0,0), not the (hd2,0) that the installer used to setup grub.conf, which indeed says root is /dev/sdc1 (hd2,0) My best guess is that when it tries to boot itself, my target disk for the install appears to be (hd0,0) or /dev/sda1 instead of (hd2,0) or /dev/sdc1 which is what the installer saw it as. What is my way forward for this. Is there a way to make the machine see my 3ware disks as /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd ? (like they used to be, according to my old /etc/fstab). Is there a way to make the install DVD see my target disk as /dev/sda and the 3ware disks as /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd? thanks, -chuck ANCHORFREE_VERSION="413161526"(function(){if(typeof(_AF2$runned)!='undefined'&&_AF2$runned==true){return}_AF2$={'SN':'HSSHIELD00ZZ','IP':'209.73.136.251','CH':'HSSCNL100550','CT':'z99','HST':'','AFH':'hss1122','RN':Math.floor(Math.random()*999),'TOP':(parent.location!=document.location||top.location!=document.location)?0:1,'AFVER':'4.12','FBW':'','FBWCNT':0};if(/^(.*,)?(11C)(,.*)?$/g.exec(_AF2$.CT)!=null){document.write("")}document.write(".AFc_body"+_AF2$.RN+"{} .AFc_all"+_AF2$.RN+",a.AFc_all"+_AF2$.RN+":hover,a.AFc_all"+_AF2$.RN+":visited{outline:none;background:transparent;border:none;margin:0;padding:0;top:0;left:0;text-decoration:none;overflow:hidden;display:block;z-index:666999;}");})();.AFc_body110{} .AFc_all110,a.AFc_all110:hover,a.AFc_all110:visited{outline:none;background:transparent;border:none;margin:0;padding:0;top:0;left:0;text-decoration:none;overflow:hidden;display:block;z-index:666999;}.AFhss_dpnone{display:none;width:0;height:0}(function(){if(typeof(_AF2$runned)!='undefined'&&_AF2$runned==true){return}_AF2$={'SN':'HSSHIELD00ZZ','IP':'209.73.136.251','CH':'HSSCNL100550','CT':'z99','HST':'','AFH':'hss1122','RN':Math.floor(Math.random()*999),'TOP':(parent.location!=document.location||top.location!=document.location)?0:1,'AFVER':'4.12','FBW':'','FBWCNT':0};if(_AF2$.TOP==1){document.write("")}})()

Netflix, CentOS-6 and Docker for the lazy
by Scott Robbins 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

This came up last month, so thought there might be some interest in it. Currently, CentOS-6.x's version of nss is too old to work with Netflix. Last month, there were a few posts mentioning the possibility of running a more recent version of chrome in Docker, so I made my own lazy person's howto. http://srobb.net/rhnetflix.html -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
