Cannot access Samba shares after latest update
by Ed Gurski 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Yesterday (12/17/16), I updated my Centos 7 machine with the latest updates. Prior to the updates both my Windows 10 and Centos 7 machines were able to access Samba shares hosted on a Fedora 25 server. After rebooting the Centos 7 machine, I get the dreaded "Unable to access location --- Failed to receive share list from server --- Connection refused" message when trying to mount the shares via the "Network Servers" gui. I can see the Samba machine but cannot access it. My Windows 10 machines can still access the shares but not Centos 7. In fact, one of my Windows 10 machines is running as a virtual machine on Centos 7. The Centos 7 only has the Samba client software installed and I can do the following from my Centos 7: "nmblookup samba_machine" and I get the correct response. "smbclient -L samba_machine" and I see all the shares. I did stop the firewall on both machines without success. Any clues?

7.3 and USB headphones
by Fred Smith 17 Dec '16

17 Dec '16

Hi all! I wish to give huge thankyous to KB and all the others who worked to get 7.3 out the door. Many thanks! I have some good things and some bad. A good thing is that unlike previous versions, when I plug in my USB headphones they are automatically recognized and I get sound without having to change anything! (which is a huge win from before when I had to mess with settings, sometimes for a few minutes, to get headphone sound and microphone audio.) The not so good thing is that I don't have any working volume control for that sound. Nothing I have found will change the sound volume in the headphones except the little dongle-thing that is inline in the headphone cord. sometimes when messing with it strange things happen on the screen that I don't understand, so I prefer to just leave it alone. (one thing I don't know is if the microphone is enabled, too, when it is plugged in... I'll probably find out tomorrow when I have an online class.) Anyone have any ideas how to get control over this? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know? Have you not heard?

CentOS 7, ATI video, ex-X
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

A user running gnome came in this morning, clicked on the application menu... and it was much shorter than he expected. He could get to firefox, and googled about refreshing that... and found something that told him to reboot. And that's it: I cannot get X up, at all. I just get the "oh, no, something failed, please log out and try again". Fully updated CentOS 7, [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240/340 OEM], and, like most of us, he uses two monitors. . I've tried removing the xorg.conf, and renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf, which was there (I didn't put it there when I built the box a few months ago.) I don't see anything even vaguely useful in the Xorg logs... and, for that reason, not sure why I'm on Xorg.3.log, other than it may have been created by startx. I've tried that, both as root, and as myself, get that "oh, no" screen, and when I hit enter to log out, I get a live but black screen, completely unresponsive. I don't see any errors in dmesg or messages, and I've tried reinstalling xorg-x11-drv-ati, which gives me xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.el7.x86_64. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I can't even get a single screen working, though it's mirrored, of course, in text mode. mark

Re: [CentOS] Panic on boot with 7.3 kernels when decrypting hard drive
by Christopher St. Louis 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

>> You need to capture the actual panic, or else it's just guessing. >> Boot without the rhgb quiet kernel args. >> >> Also check it's not just something silly like running out os space >> on /boot causing incomplete/corrupt initramfs. >> >> jh Thanks for the advice. Df reports that /boot has 80% free space right now; I would assume that's enough but I don't know. I need to remove a few of the old kernels I've got taking up space. There are a few initramfs-*kdump.img files that have appeared that I assume might be helpful in tracking down the problems? I changed the boot arguments (and also added the args to automatically reboot following a panic, which fixes one of my problems), and I'm definitely getting kernel panics. Both 4.4.39-1 and 4.9.0-1 end up with pretty much the same issue: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt." I know the details of the panic can/should be kept in a log somewhere, but that's where my limited experience fails me--I see references to Xorg.0.log and boot.log online, but those seem to only keep the details of the most recent boot. I used the not-so-high-tech method of taking a photo of my laptop's screen output before it restarted, and it seems like the panic details for both kernels started with a "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008" and followed shortly by an "Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP." Beyond that, the behavior seems to be somewhat inconsistent--the first time I booted the 4.9 kernel without the quiet rhgb args it seemed to hang on something related to ipv6 setup without actually getting into a panic, but I foolishly didn't capture any of the other details. The pre-7.3 4.4.36-1 kernel that had been working just fine now seems to fail in a panic every other boot, and I'm currently working from within the latest 3.10.0-514 kernel that came with 7.3, which had previously failed to boot in a panic as well. This is somewhat embarassing because I was feeling pretty confident that I had pretty much gotten the hang of regular Linux use, but now it feels like I somehow caused some major problems when I updated to 7.3 (though I didn't do anything beyond "yum update.") If I were back on Windows, this would be the part where I backup my files and start from a fresh install, since that was usually the least painless way to fix major system problems. Is there a possibility that this is fixable, or would that be a good strategy to employ here? Or does this suggest something more serious, like a hardware issue? My apologies for dragging beginner's issues here into a mailing list for an enterprise OS; CentOS just works so nicely, decently responsive with low resource usage and was (up until now) completely stable on my aging X301. Thanks again.
