Is kernel-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 tested with old hardware?
by Gerhard Schneider 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Today we tried to update machines w/ Core2 Duo E6750 from 3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.centos.plus to 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus and the machines did not boot due to a kernel panic. Before we dig any further I wanted to know if the 11.6 kernel has been tested on old hardware, too, or if the problem is well known but not documented (yet). Thank you in advance!

lshw in centos 7
by david 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Folks I've been running lshw for years in both Centos 6 and Centos 7, yet just recently it started hanging. Neither a Control^C nor a "kill" of the process cured the hang; only a reboot. When I run it by hand from the command line, it displays stuff on the next line overwriting it with things like PCI, USB. And USB is the last thing I see. A Control-C does not unlock it. I am running lshw-B.02.18-7.el7.x86_64. The CPU is an Intel I7-3770K, running CentOS 7.4.1708 Is there any idea? Is there some alternate program that could list the hardware? Thanks David

CentOS 7 autofs flakyness
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

I have a user who couldn't get in via WinSCP to a server. Got him to log in via putty, and that was fine. But he still couldn't get in the other way. At my manager's suggestion, I restarted autofs... and everything worked. Note that his home director5y was already automounted via NFS, after he logged in via putty. We've seen other, similar oddities with NFS. Is anyone else seeing this, or have a clue? Btw, there were no errors showing in /var/log/messages, journal, I saw this in dmesg: task mount.nfs:83892 blocked for more than 120 seconds, but that was from four days ago, and my user just reported the problem yesterday, though he hadn't tried to use WinSCP in about a month. mark

1600x900 not available
by Sean Smith 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

My laptop is a Dell XPS-13 running CentOS 7. It has a 13" 1920x1080 screen and it's a bit difficult for my mid-40s eyesight. Fedora and Debian, on this laptop, give me the option of choosing 1600x900 which is much easier for me to read but CentOS doesn't show this resolution as available. I followed the steps I found in a post on stackexchange using xrandr, substituting 1600x900 where applicable and it worked but, once I rebooted, it went back to 1920x1080 with no 1600x900 option in settings-display. Is there a way I can add 1600x900 resolution the list of available resolutions in settings-display? Thanks, Sean

Audio Output Timer Utility
by Chris Olson 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

We have several CentOS 6.x systems that are incorporated into suites of special test equipment. One of the requirements for these systems is that they be kept up to date and they are kept up to date using yum once per week or more frequently, as needed. All of our CentOS 6.x systems have at least 2TB system disks and were installed with essentially everything that was available on the DVD at the time of initial setup. One of our programs is currently in Beta Test which includes both command line and GUI operator inputs and responses. The functional testing requires operator inputs or responses within certain time frames. This timing has usually been implemented with a stopwatch that is operated by a test director. Other timing options would beneficial for complex testing scenarios One of our test directors suggested that we use a digital count- down timer with audio outputs to prompt test operators for their inputs or responses at appropriate times. We have not found such a utility on our CentOS 6 distribution. If there is one available, we would appreciate any information that can be provided. Thanks.

hi, free IPA everyone? I wanted to ask if you maybe seen below errors. I'm trying regular: $ ipa-client-install --principal=admin --password="ccnR.Biotec13#diradm" --enable-dns-updates and it fails: ...
