/boot partition too small
by KM 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

First off - let me say I am not an administrator. I need to know if there is an easy way to increase my /boot partition. When I installed CentOS 6 after running 5, it was my oversight not to increase the /boot size. it's too small and I can't do yum updates. if it's not easy to actually increase it, is it safe to take a chunk in my root filesystem (like /new.boot or something) and just mount it as /boot from now on so it uses the space or is that not a good idea? I am sure I could easily copy the rpms/kernel stuff over to it and then unmounts the real /boot and mount this new area as /boot. Can you administrators let me know what you think of all this? Thanks in advance. KM

Packages not in CentOS 8
by Jerry Geis 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Hi all, I am using kickstart to install CentOS 8. Course I started with my kickstart from 7. Some packages are not found on the kickstart install (not present on the DVD I guess) like: ImageMagick sox libogg-devel libssh2-devel So again - I know they are not present on the DVD but they are present. What is the Kickstart trick to say %packages if not present - ATTEMPT to load later with yum ??? Is there such a thing for kickstart now with the new CentOS 8 structure ? Thanks, Jerry

Centos 8 and Lynx
by david 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Folks I find the Lynx browser does not appear in any of the repositories used during default installation of Centos 8 (x86_64). Is this program no longer supported? I didn't see a reference to it in the notsupported list. David

CentOS-6 cannot get kvm guest to start - network error
by James B. Byrne 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Need to start a virtual machine but missing nic is preventing this: I have need to recover some data from a guest on host which has been shutddown for some time. The host had one of it nic removed at some point. It is not likely to be replaced either. When I try to start the guest in question I get this: error: Failed to start domain inet09.harte-lyne.ca error: Cannot get interface MTU on 'br1': No such device I tried editing (virsh edit guest) to remove the interface: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:35:a2:8a'/> <source bridge='br1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </interface> I saved the changes and tried to start the guest. but I got the same error. Then edited the guest config to say: <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:35:a2:8a'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> How do I configure this guest so it will start without the missing nic? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

Centos 8: Multiple bugs with email/calendar
by Georgios 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Hi there! I recently installed centos 8 on my laptop. I have the following problems 1. I tried the use the default evolution 3.28. The problem with 3.28 is that when i try to create an event i get the error "Failed to create an event in the calendar “CalDAV : Calendar”" "Cannot create calendar object: Failed to put data: HTTP error code 400 (Bad Request)" 2.I tried installing evolution from flatpak 3.34 Calendar works fine! BUT cant use my yubikey to read my encrypted emails :-( For some reason flatpak seems unable to work with smartcards. Had the same issue with keepassxc and yubikey 3.My third attempt was to use thunderbird from flatpak. I installed thunderbird through flatpak to see if i could overcome the flatpak yubikey problem. Thunderbird starts but then crushes with the following message "flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" " I would prefer to use evolution than thunderbird. Any ideas how to solve the calendar or flatpak and yubikey problem? Thanks in advance!!!

SquidGuard update in EPEL
by Nicolas Kovacs 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Hi, The SquidGuard URL redirector has recently been updated in EPEL, and I'm a bit puzzled. I'm still using SquidGuard on a few local proxy servers running CentOS 7, because it's a nifty piece of software for filtering web traffic. The project's home page has remained unchanged for more than ten years: * http://www.squidguard.org/ It looks like the project has been dormant or dead for quite some time. I've been looking for a replacement for SquidGuard, but haven't been lucky yet. Anyone else has more information on SquidGuard, or suggestions for a replacement?

VirtualBox extensions and the new kernel
by Klaus Kolle 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

I've been running Centos for different purposes in a VirtualBox environment for quite long now. But the newest kernels miss something so I can get the VirtualBox Extensions linked in. I can see in the virtualbox log file that I shall run maken oldconfig and make, but I get these errors: # make oldconfig && make prepare scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig # # configuration written to .config # scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by `arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h'. Stop. make: *** [archheaders] Error 2 Probably it is something that I misses, but what, I cannot figure out. I see the problem both in Centos 7.7 and 8 |< -- Med venlig hilsen Klaus Kolle Teknikumingeniør, B.Sc.EE., e-mail : klaus(a)kolle.dk Master of IT www : www.kolle.dk Asger Jorns Vej 17 Telephone : +4522216044 DK-8600 Silkeborg, Denmark "Man skal ikke tilskrive til sammensværgelser hvad der tilstrækkeligt kan forklares af inkompetence" Poul Henning Kamp Planlægning er tanker om noget man agter at gøre en gang i fremtiden, hvis omstændighederne tillader det.
