Squid and log files
by Nicolas Kovacs 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hi, I have Squid running on several CentOS proxy servers. Here's what the Squid log file directory looks like on my own server: access.log access.log-20180311.gz access.log-20180319.gz access.log-20180429.gz access.log-20180506.gz access.log-20180514.gz cache.log cache.log-20180416.gz cache.log-20180422.gz cache.log-20180430.gz cache.log-20180506.gz cache.log-20180514.gz squidGuard.log I don't know if the compressed and archived *.gz log files are supposed to be erased some time. Anyway, I'd like to make sure they are kept at least for one full year. Where is this defined ?

Save the date: CERN Dojo, October 19th, 2018
by Rich Bowen 14 May '18

14 May '18

On October 19th, 2018, we will once again be hosting a CentOS Dojo at CERN, in Meyrin, Switzerland[1]. This will be a full day of CentOS presentations, drawn both from CERN and from the broader CentOS community. The call for papers is now open[2]. We're looking for talks about anything CentOS related, but we're particularly interested in: * OpenStack, and other cloud platforms * Ceph, and other software defined storage solutions * Configuration management tools * HPC, and other aspects of research computing CERN[3] is one of the best-known research facilities on the planet, and the home of the Large Hadron Collider. CentOS Dojos[4] are the best place to meet other members of the CentOS community, and the various communities - such as OpenStack and Ceph - that have a large overlap with CentOS.

kickstart leavebootorder
by Stijn De Weirdt 14 May '18

14 May '18

hi all, we have hosts that we want to pxeboot first, always. with uefi, anaconda/kickstart always set the freshly installed disk as first bootdevice and there seems to be no way to disable this behaviour. the rhel7 docs describe a "leavebootorder" option (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht…) but it doesn't "leave [the] boot order", it still (as described in the doc) puts the new one on top. it leaves other existing boot entries alone, in same order; but inserting a new entry on top effectively changes the order, not sure what they were smoking when they came up that option name.... does anyone have any tips/tricks to keep hosts booting with pxe first (besides parsing efibootmgr output and modifying the bootorder after an install). thanks, stijn

Centos 7.5 and Courier 10 Pitch fonts in Libreoffice
by Gregory P. Ennis 14 May '18

14 May '18

Everyone, With the update to Centos 7.5 it is apparent that we lost the Courier 10 Pitch fonts that were in "xorg-x11-fonts-Type1". Does anyone know how to get this back. Greg Ennis

Private repository and upgrade to Centos 7.5 (Kernel / GStreamer / Mesa)
by Andreas Benzler 12 May '18

12 May '18

Hello Everyone, long time ago I wrote my last mail about my personal repository. The Upgrade went most smoostly. Only need to recompile mesa (enable by wayland ) and qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.2-1.el7.centos.src.rpm (missing by epel) nextcloud-client-2.3.3-1.el7.centos.src.rpm My current software Setup: - kernel 4.16.8 (elrepo with some amd switches) - updated graphic driver stack libdrm / libva 2.1/ amd & intel & nvidia (opensource driver) - gstreamer 10.5 & ffmpeg 2.8.14 - media with vlc 2.2.8 (vlc 3 & ffmpeg3 needs newer compiler) - mesa 18.0.3 / llvm 6.0 Moved from gnome to Xfwm4 for smoother workflow. Wayland is untested here. My WineHQ must be recompiled, that's all is left todo for now. I know some of my repo packages are not wayland enabled, but not needed this time. Totem is mostly unusable this time since mesa 18.0. Got same problem with Arch Linux. In fact nothing todo with my software stack. Got vlc by the way. Everything can be found at: http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/ While everything is my private playground and not a official repsitory the packages are "hand made" and unsigned. What's the benefit of this? Everything working as a normal Workstation on a server stack software. Tested also the last tombraider from steam....nice gameplay.. The last 2 years nothing breaks realy, when I starded my project: Centos Multimedia enabled. Still the same drive/installation with the vodoo software testdrive. No distribution drives that long in the past. Sincerely Andy

Re: [CentOS] [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1804) on x86_64 aarch64 i386 ppc64 ppc64le

I’ve checked about a dozen of the mirrors, and see no *.torrent files yet. Any idea how long they’ll take to appear? I ask because we’re building a system today, so if it’s going to be more than a few hours, I’ll grab the ISO file directly, but otherwise, I’d prefer to spread the load. > As always, read through the Release Notes at : > http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 The “RHEL” link here still points to the 7.4 release notes: https://wiki.centos.org/Download

Yum-cron
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 May '18

11 May '18

Ok, I've just had issues this morning, and went and *looked*. I can see a yum-cron running monthly, sure. Running weekly, I guess. Running daily? Why? And there is *NO* reason whatever for a "yum-hourly*. None. This is CentOS, not ubuntu-snapshot-of-the-moment. I don't know if this is from upstream or not, but it's wrong. I mean, even Redmond only pushes out patches once or twice a month, except for critical fixes.,,,.

Centos7 update: epel no route to host
by johan.vermeulen7＠telenet.be 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hello All, I' have a laptop who's not booting to graphical screen today. Actualy I had several the last few days, related to cr repo. This one won't update, EM: updates | 3.4 kB 00:00:00 epel/x86_64/updateinfo FAILED https://mirror.ynet.sk/epel/7/x86_64/repodata/3ada5bcbccaa9772074a773b15bd0…: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Failed connect to mirror.ynet.sk:443; No route to host" I reinstalled epel-release package, same issue remains. I guess I could update without epel, but maybe this will make things worse. Any advise would be appreciated. Greetings, J

Video troubles after 7.5 upgrade using CR repo
by Nicolas Kovacs 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hi, Our desktop clients are running CentOS 7 with the Xfce desktop from EPEL. The CR repository is enabled. A few days ago I launched an update, which brought in close to 1 GB of packages. I had some weird problems on two clients. One is an old Dell Optiplex 330 with a legacy video card. [root@cybermule:/] # lspci | grep -i vga 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200/1100] After the update, X wouldn't start anymore, and there was no way to make it behave. I had to reinstall everything and disable the CR repo (or more precisely not enable it in the first place). After this, things went back to normal. On another desktop client, a more recent Dell Optiplex 780, this is what the video card looks like. [root@littlesister:/] # lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) On this machine I have some weird screen artefacts. When opening a window - any window - there is a sort of a black flash. Meaning the window is a black square, and then the content appears. Plus, on LibreOffice, when doing things like modifying tabs in a document, the tab lines are persistent all over the screen. Very ugly, and the secretary complains about not being able to work correctly. Any idea what's happening here? Until now, CentOS 7 never gave me this sort of headaches.
