No GUI with CentOS-7.2
by Timothy Murphy 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

When I re-booted my HP MicroServer into CentOS-7.2 I was given a text console. When I run "startx" I get the response on screen [edited]: ===================== [tim@alfred ~]$ startx xauth: file /home/tim/.serverauth.21307 does not exist X.Org X Server 1.17.2 Release Date: 2015-06-16 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 ...

It seems to find an appropriate ATI Radeon driver, but it has the warnings (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa Also it ends with what look like a problem with the USB mouse: (II) config/udev: Adding input device PIXART USB OPTICAL MOUSE (/dev/input/mouse0) (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

Extending a CentOS disk without reboot
by Sander Kuusemets 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hello, Today a virtual server under my administration ran out of disk space, so I had to get extra space to it.. while it was running, because it's an important web server without any kind of HA/Load Balancing (don't do that, kids). So what happened, is that after another administrator had extended the disk from VMWare, I tried to extend it from the OS side. Everything went well, listing my steps here: * echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/2\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan * fdisk /dev/sdb (the usual, delete partition and make a new, bigger one) Now's when the problems happened. After writing the partition table I got the usual "Busy" error. But I needed to do this without downtime. So, what did I try to get the kernel acknowledge the partition size change: * hdparm -z /dev/sdb * partx -a -v /dev/sdb * partprobe -s * echo "1" > /sys/block/sdb/device/rescan And while dmesg reported that it recognized the partition change, LVM did still not see it. So eventually, I was still forced to reboot, after which everything (pvresize, lvresize, resize2fs) worked fine. Environment: * A VMWare virtual machine * CentOS 6.7 (Final) Is there any other way I'm missing? Is this caused by the fact that I was trying to resize a partition that is under the root file system? If so, then is it really impossible to do it live? Thanks, -- Sander Kuusemets University of Tartu, High Performance Computing, IT Specialist

systemd-sysctl not running on boot
by Ofer Hasson 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hey all, After upgrading to CentOS 7.2, non of my servers run systemd-sysctl on boot. So far, I tried running manually /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl, it runs smoothly and updates all the parameters. I also ran sysctl --system, which also executes successfully. I checked within systemd, and systemd-sysctl is wanted by the sysinit.target which is wanted by the multi-user.target - the one I boot into. I can't find anything by doing journalctl | grep sysctl Or by looking through /var/log/messages (I run rsyslog as well). Any idea's ? Thanks

Bind fails to start after update from 7.1 to 7.2
by Emmett Culley 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

I am seeing these lines for each domain in the systemd journal: zone relationship123.com/IN: loading from master file relationship123.com.db failed: file not found zone relationship123.com/IN: not loaded due to errors. _default/relationship123.com./IN: file not found If I change the zone defs to include the full path: >From zone "relationships123.com." IN { type master; file "relationships123.com.db"; }; To zone "relationships123.com." IN { type master; file "/var/named/chroot/var/named/relationships123.com.db"; }; in the config file, named starts, but then fails to provide DNS replies with the following error for each request: general: error: zone relationships123.com/IN: loading from master file /var/named/chroot/var/named/relationships123.com.db failed: file not found general: error: zone relationships123.com/IN: not loaded due to errors. Nothing was changed in the named configuration prior to updating to 7.2 As usual I am using systemctl start named-chroot to start the server. Any ideas? Emmett

Re: [CentOS] what browser plugin provides Quicktime on 7.2?

The problem with Firefox appears to be that the apple site is sending the wrong coding for FF so requiring embedded quicktime, rather than using FF's HTML5. See: <https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/3jtuxr/firefox_and_apple_trailers/> specifically the third comment (by caspy7). Follow caspy7's github link for further discussion and help on the user-agent resolution. Switching my FF user-agent to claim it was my tablet's chrome let these videos play fine. It appears that Apple's view is that page designers shouldn't be coding to require the plugin -- see bottom of: <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205081> so it's somewhat amusing that their site is doing just that.

Re: [CentOS] ICMP outoging traffic at centos 6.7

That's what it sounded like, but I didn't want to assume that because it's absolutely insane. If you don't want to send ICMP traffic, then drop incoming traffic that you don't want instead of rejecting it.

Are you debugging the wrong bit? Isn't this X starting correctly, but the xinit desktop environment is likely failing? jh

Hi all, Is it possible to run cronjobs configured by a user to run only when he/she is logged (via GDM/KDM,etc.)? Thanks.
