What are the differences between systemd and non-systemd Linux distros?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

Good afternoon from Singapore, What are the differences between systemd and non-systemd Linux distros? Is systemd implemented in all the latest Linux distros? Please advise. Thank you. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END SIGNATURE===

Hi. By the way, Jim Perrin did an updated version of this talk *today* at CERN in my absence (thanks Jim!). Hopefully the video will be posted soon. I expect we'll be doing updated versions of these at Devconf, future Dojos, etc- as things progress. > For quite a long time, many (perhaps most) folks had assumed that > Fedora functioned more or less directly as the internal alpha for > RHEL, with a branch at some point occurring, followed by pruning > of packages, hardening, vendor testing, and release. This is roughly true for new releases (plus or minus the kernel), but not for subsequent minor release updates.

You might be reading into this more than is there. It's not so much that things are fluid as it is that they are undefined. There is no clear, consistent way for a member of the Fedora or CentOS communities, who create something great, to have that thing make its way into an update of an existing RHEL major release. Defining that path, making it possible, would be win for all. > Obviously, there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy there. > > The wider EL community is trapped between a rock and a hard place > somewhat.

Man, it breaks my heart when I read things like this. There might be some historic truth to the above, but it doesn't have to be the future. The objective I mentioned near the end of the talk has been posted, but not yet voted on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pfrields/Lifecycle_Objective The beauty of community is that it can grow and shift according to the needs of its members. To me it looks like the lifecycle objective may be a partial answer to how Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS communities can reach a state of fluidity, a virtuous cycle. The thing that makes it the most likely to succeed is if members of the Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS communities work on it together. I hope those reading this who are interested in that join in. -- Brendan Conoboy / RHEL Development Coordinator / Red Hat, Inc.

Can't access Samba shares from Nautilus
by Nicolas Kovacs 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with Samba on a few sandbox machines. On the server side, I have setup CentOS 7 with a basic Samba setup and two shares, one public, the other password-protected. I have two Windows 7 boxes in my network, and I can access the shares perfectly, log in to the password-protected share, read and write files, so this seems to work OK. On my main Linux workstation (CentOS 7 + custom GNOME) I can't seem to access these shares. When I click on the "Parcourir le réseau" ("Browse network") icon in GNOME, Nautilus opens and shows a "Réseau Windows" ("Windows network") icon. Clicking on this icon, I only get the following error message: "Impossible d'accéder à l'emplacement". Unable to access this place. So I fire up GNOME Terminal and see what this looks like on the command line : [kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ smbclient -L //amandine -N Anonymous login successful Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Public Disk Partage Public Confidentiel Disk Partage Confidentiel IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Serveur de fichiers AMANDINE) Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing. Anonymous login successful Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- WORKGROUP AMANDINE So far, so good. Now I try to connect as a user: [kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ smbclient //amandine/Confidentiel -U kikinovak Enter SAMBA\kikinovak's password: Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: \> dir .

Check version from installer disc
by Elliott Balsley 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Is there some way to see what version will be installed by an installation disc? I made a USB installer and I forgot whether it's CentOS 7.3 or 7.5. Short of running the whole installer and seeing what happens, I can't see any way to get this info from within Anaconda.

C7, NetworkMangler, and IPv6
by mark 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

Hi, folks, Freshly built box... but does not get its IPv6 address. Gets its IPv4 with no trouble, and if I *manually* run dhclient -v -N eno1, it gets the correct IPv6, but after that, nope. And INITIPV^=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1. I even tried adding NETWORKING_IPV6=yes to an otherwise empty /etc/sysconfig/network. What am I missing? mark

C 7 installation annoyances
by mark 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

In the disk partitioner, I can't 1) choose to make the LVM with root and swap be on a RAID 1. Is there some way to do that, rather than two separate partitions RAIDed? 2) They don't align, so I can't clone /dev/sda to /dev/sdb as a failover (for /boot and /boot/efi). I've created those two, manually, and nope, it wiped them out, so I can't clone those two. Any solutions for either of these? I don't have hardware RAID card on this box. mark

Frefox update from firefox-60.2.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64 to 60.2.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64 lost master password
by Rob Kampen 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Hi list, Did an update to firefox last night and rebooted over night. Today I find firefox started without asking for master password - funny me thinks. Try to log in to a web service I use and find that my password does not appear. Check preferences and find that no master password is set and the password list / table is empty. As I do not trust my passwords to the cloud I do not save these to my firefox profile ..... so back to manual entry for all my sites.... wow going to be a slow month as I reset scores of passwords. Any one else have this problem and any clues as to what causes this? I am concerned if this should happen again, as I have saved passwords for many scores of web services. TIA Rob
