Memory vs. Display Card
by Rick 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

Since memory has become quite cheap lately I decided to move from 2 GB to 6. When I installed the memory every thing was fine until I went to run level 5. At that point the screen turned to garbage and the system froze. Is there a way to fix this so I can use the memory I bought? Do I need a new display card?

SSD for Centos SWAP /tmp & /var/ partition
by Keith Roberts 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

Has anyone actually used a SSD in a Centos setup? My little experiment with a s/h WD drive for /tmp and SWAP partitions kicked the bucket on Wednesday, when the poor WD drive caught the click-of-death. It was a s/h drive to start with and lasted about 4 months. But that was without the /var/log/ partition being written to it, as I mounted that back onto /var/log from the original drive. So I had to install another (WD) drive, and repartion it and rebuild my RPM package database, from the backed-up Packages file. That seems to be all OK now. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to use a new SSD for moving all the disk i/o to, that Linux likes to do so often. Plus putting SWAP onto a decent SSD should speed things up somewhat. Here's a short video of a laptop fitted with a SSD drive booting macOS, compared to a similar laptop booting from the standard HDD. The laptop with the SSD boots and loads some apps in 28 seconds. The other one takes twice as long. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_Extreme_Pro_6G/?utm_source=t… Kind Regards, Keith Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.karsites.net http://www.php-debuggers.net http://www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk All email addresses are challenge-response protected with TMDA [http://tmda.net] -----------------------------------------------------------------

Issues booting centos7 [dracut is failing to enable centos/root, centos/swap LVs]
by Yannis Milios 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hello, I'm having a strange problem booting a new centos7 installation. Below some background on this. [I have attached the tech details at the bottom of this message] I started a new CentOS7 installation on a VM, so far all good, o/s boots fine. Then I decided to increase VM disk size (initially was 10G) to 13G. Powered off the VM, increased the vhd via the hypervisor, booted from CentOS livecd, selected "recover my centos installation". Then I used the following sequence of commands to make the new vhd size "visible" to the o/s ... - ran fdisk /dev/sda and deleted partition 2. (This is the LVM partition where the o/s is stored. The first partition is /boot [xfs] partition *non lvm*.) - created a new partition with same starting sector as before deleting it, but a different ending sector (to reflect to the increased space). - set partition type to 8e (lvm), saved settings and exit. - ran pvresize and lvresize to make new space visible to the o/s.All good, I can see the space increase on 'lvdisplay centos/root'. - ran 'mount /dev/mapper/centos-root /mnt/root' to temporarily mount the o/s partition. - ran 'xfs_growfs /mnt/root' to resize the o/s fs to the new size. It was successful and I could actually chroot to the o/s and verify new disk size. - rebooted and tried to boot from hdd this time. Grub menu shows up and loads default kernel (3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64). - after initial kernel boot up process, booting continues to initrd and then it's where the problem starts... - looks like dracut has issues locating/enabling /dev/mapper/centos-root (lv) and as a result it cannot boot to the 'real' root fs (/). - while in dracut shell, I execute the following command sequence: 1. lvm lvchange -ay /dev/centos/root 2. lvm lvchange -ay /dev/centos/swap 3. ln -s /dev/mapper/centos-root /dev/root 4. exit ...and the o/s boots fine...so looks like the pv,vg,lv is detected properly while in initrd, but somehow dracut has difficulties enabling the root,swap LVs ? - While in o/s, I rebuild initrd by using: 'dracut -f -v -a lvm' Note, I have to use '-a lvm' as for some reason, if don't, the lvm utils (lvm,lvm_scan) are not being included to the initrd, not sure why this happens. After rebooting, same thing happens, I have to manually boot the system via dracut shell. I'm a bit stuck at this point, any clues what I'm doing wrong in here ? As I previously said, this is a new installation, so I could simply reinstall the whole thing, but I would rather try to find out some answer to why is this happening ... :-) [curiosity] Some additional details: ================== I've attached /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt file [generated while in inird] here: https://privatebin.net/?fdc4052c0c402884#gdB/QYR3IeR55SxUbjfrkZPQfJ7jMxiUxq… o/s ver=CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) [root@localhost ~]# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 13G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot └─sda2 8:2 0 12.5G 0 part ├─centos-root 253:0 0 11.5G 0 lvm / └─centos-swap 253:1 0 1G 0 lvm [SWAP] [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rd.shell rhgb" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

Re: [CentOS] upg. CentOS 7.5 to 7.6: unable to mount smb shares - samba NT domain member using ldap

If you're using a real NT4 domain, then you shouldn't need a passdb backend at all. If you're not in an NT4 domain, then you should set "security = USER". The man page for smb.conf notes "This mode will only work correctly if net(8) has been used to add this machine into a Windows NT Domain." Did you add this host to a Windows NT domain, using "net join ..."?

CentOS 7.6 1810 vs. VirtualBox : bug with keyboard layout selection
by Nicolas Kovacs 20 Jan '20

20 Jan '20

Hi, I'm currently working on my next Linux book, which will be an elementary course about CentOS administration. I'm using VirtualBox for all the installer screenshots. Since CentOS has recently been upgraded to version 7.6, I thought I might as well base all book references on this version. So I downloaded the 7.6 1810 minimal ISO and started a fresh installation in VirtualBox. I'm using a Swiss French keyboard layout (ch-fr or fr_CH-latin1), so one of the first things I do in the installer is replace the default French AZERTY keyboard (since I use the french language) by a swiss french QWERTZ layout. Now when I reach this dialog in the installer and try do define my new layout, the slider in the selection window doesn't appear, and clicking on any of the first layouts doesn't do anything, so I'm basically stuck there. I'm running OpenSUSE Leap 15.0 KDE on my workstation, so I tried the same thing with the previous CentOS 7.5 1804 minimal ISO, and the keyboard selection dialog works perfectly. So my intuition would tell me that there's a nasty bug in the CentOS 7.6 installer. Maybe it went unnoticed, since most folks stick to the default keyboard layout selected in their language. Any suggestions ?

CentOS 7 as a Fibre Channel SAN Target
by Steffan A. Cline 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

For quite some time I’ve been using FreeNAS to provide services as a NAS over ethernet and SAN over Fibre Channel to CentOS 7 servers each using their own export, not sharing the same one. It’s time for me to replace my hardware and I have a new R720XD that I’d like to use in the same capacity but configure CentOS 7 as a Fibre Channel target rather than use FreeNAS any further. I’m doing virtualization and this will allow me to have failover from one node to the other since they’ll all be sharing the same export rather than me simply backing up to the FreeNAS server the way I am now. Does anyone know of any really good current articles that explain how to set up CentOS 7 as the target in such a configuration and also setting up CLVMd so they can all share an export over Fibre Channel from CentOS 7?

/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

NFSv4: Using fsid=0 but *not* exporting the root filesystem
by Frank Thommen 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hi, I would like to use the NFSv4 ability to create a "root" filesystem with fsid=0, so that I don't have to refer to the whole path of the exported filesystem when I mount it. However I do *not* want this root filesystem to be mountable by any host. Is that possible and how? E.g Filesystem: /exports/data1 /exports/data2 /exports/data3 /etc/exports: /exports *(ro,no_subtree_check,fsid=0) /exports/data1 host1(rw) /exports/data2 host1(rw) /exports/data3 host2(rw) host1 and host2 can mount fileserver:/ and access any of the dataN directories at least read-only. That is unwanted. I'd like /exports/data1 and /exports/data2 to be exclusively accessible by host1 and /exports/data3 by host2. But I'd still like to be able to mount e.f. as fileserver:/data1 instead of fileserver:/exports/data1. I've search around a lot and I have found the question several times, but no solution yet. Cheers frank

weird RPM dependency error; '/bin/sh' needed, but is provided
by Brian Reichert 14 May '19

14 May '19

First off, I have to admit that I'm uncertain if this is the appropriate forum; I'd be happy for suggestions about where else to look. I'm doing this work on a stock install of CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1810.iso, with no updates. I'm trying to create an RPM database from a custom set of RPMs. One RPM ('openldap-ltb' from the LDAP Tool Box project (ltb-project.org) has a dependency on '/bin/sh'. The bash RPM is demonstratedly present, yet the the 'rpm' utility thinks this dependency is not met. I'm open to any advice as to how to progress. It pretty easy to demonstrate what's going wrong, rather than trying to describe it. Straightforward to reproduce: Here, I collect the misc bits from the net: $ wget --quiet http://mirrors.mit.edu/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1810.iso $ wget --quiet http://mirrors.mit.edu/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/libtool-ltdl-2.4.2-22.el… $ wget --quiet https://ltb-project.org/archives/berkeleydb-ltb-4.6.21.NC-4.el7.patch4.x86_… $ wget --quiet https://ltb-project.org/archives/openldap-ltb-2.4.47-1.el7.x86_64.rpm Now, I try to make an RPM database of these packages. The last step fails with an unmet dependency: $ sudo mount ~/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1810.iso -r -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt $ mkdir -p ~/local_rpm_db $ rpm --initdb --dbpath ~/local_rpm_db $ rpm --justdb --ignoresize --dbpath ~/local_rpm_db -Uvh /mnt/Packages/*.rpm *.rpm warning: /mnt/cdrom/Packages/acl-2.2.51-14.el7.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID f4a80eb5: NOKEY warning: berkeleydb-ltb-4.6.21.NC-4.el7.patch4.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 6d45bfc5: NOKEY error: Failed dependencies: /bin/sh is needed by openldap-ltb-2.4.47-1.el7.x86_64 Which is weird, as the 'bash' RPM is clearly part of the set, and 'provides' the needed feature: $ rpm -q -provides -p /mnt/Packages/bash-4.2.46-31.el7.x86_64.rpm | egrep 'sh$' /bin/bash /bin/sh Further, it's not among the list of files in the payload of the RPM: $ rpm -q -l -p /mnt/Packages/bash-4.2.46-31.el7.x86_64.rpm | egrep 'sh$' /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/sh These tactics did work with the related bits for CentOS 6. Here are some details of my environment; I'm happy to provide more, if anyone has any questions: $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rpm rpm-4.11.3-35.el7.x86_64 -- Brian Reichert <reichert(a)numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large

Re: [CentOS] How to specify kernel version when restart kdump
by Benjamin Hauger 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

kdump operates by booting a fresh kernel to capture the context of a crashed kernel, and so the only way for kdump to dump a kernel is to crash it and cause kdump to invoke its post-crash kernel. You can manually force a running kernel to panic (and invoke a correctly-configured kdump) with the following command sequence: > echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq > echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Cheers, Ben On 3/25/19 7:19 PM, wuzhouhui wrote: > Hi, > > Is there a way to specify kernel version when (re)start kdump > service?

Getting slapd under CentOS 6 to log connections, etc.
by Robert Heller 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

I am running the stock OpenLDAP-servers on a CentOS 6 system. Everything is working just fine, but I am trying to debug connections from a Ubuntu (18.04) system and want to turn on logging in slapd, but although I can get slapd to create a log file, it never actually writes anything. I have these two lines in /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif: olcLogFile: /var/log/slapd/log olcLogLevel: conns BER config ACL stats none And although /var/log/slapd/log gets created, nothing is ever written to it.

CUPS issues
by mark 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

We've got this huge HP DesignJet Z9 printer, for printing posters. Except... I got the latest hplips installed, it knows this printer... but there are no poster-sized settings. Now, I've started hacking the .ppd, as I did six year ago for the old poster printer, but it seems, after a good bit of googling, that it would be easier, when I hit print from okular, and get the dialog window, to go to properties->page, and set it to custom, and set the width and height... except I can't: both width and height are grayed out. Now, I'm running as me. For reasons I don't need to get into, I shouldn't be doing this as root. Anyone know what I need to modify to all me to set this? Hacking the .ppd is half a day or a day of tedious work. mark

I don't need help, I'm good, but perhaps someone needs to look at whatever mis-configuration on the host(s) causes that. I originally left the repo file alone so it attempted to use the repolist but every repo failed. I then changed it to use the baseurl but it didn't help. So whatever the problem is, it isn't with just a single host.

Just curious. In the two most recent releases of CentOS 7 AltArch i386 there has not been made available a DVD iso (or the live ones) alongside NetInstall/Minimal/Everything. Any plans to make available the DVD variation for the current or future releases? For older 32-bit hardware, it can be nice to be able to burn a single layer DVD. Thanks for your time, -Brendan

RHEL/CentOS 8.x, KDE & EPEL
by Nicolas Kovacs 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hi, A question to those familiar with third party repository policy. You think there's a real chance KDE's Plasma 5 desktop will be made available by EPEL or some other third party repository for CentOS 8.x? I'm asking because up until recently one of my desktop configurations was based on CentOS 7 and KDE 4. My users really like the KDE desktop (like myself). I rebased most of my desktop configurations on OpenSUSE Leap when Red Hat announced it would drop KDE, but it would be nice to have something that's a bit less of a moving target.

boot issue with latest kernel
by Keith Keller 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hi all, Has anyone seen this issue before? This afternoon, I tried updating a bare metal CentOS 6 box, and got some odd error messages on the console during booting kernel 2.6.32-754.11.1. (These aren't exact, I forgot to try to get a photo of the console.) sd 0:0:4:0 timed out resetting card 3w-sas timed out resetting card Then the boot would simply hang, with no obvious disk activity on the drives and no other messages on the console. Reverting back to an earlier kernel (2.6.32-431.17.1) was perfectly fine. (Obviously this is quite old hardware, but until today had never had problems.) I noticed in the CentOS 6.10 changelog that 3w-sas has been deprecated, but that it should still be supported. And even if 3w-sas had been removed, I don't think that wouldn't explain timeouts on sd. I have done a bunch of searches on the CentOS forums and on the web, but didn't find anything specific to this issue with various combinations of the error message keywords. If you have any pointers for me I would greatly appreciate it! --keith -- kkeller(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

How to disable wifi access to CentOS 7
by Kay Schenk 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hello all -- I run a hard wired network connection from my box and I don't want/need any wifi connections trying to get to/from it. I came across this article from the RedHat Bugzilla site -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1530391 I would love to just uninstall NetworkManager-wifi as suggested in the last comment on this issue. The problem is when I try to do that, there's about 25 dependencies on this package! Any thoughts on how to get around this? Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Less is MORE."

Gnome-tweak-tool-3.28.1 Update Results in Black Screen
by Brian Bernard 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hello all, The most recent update of Gnome-tweak-tool-3.28.1-2el7.2.noarch.rpm is causing a black screen at startup. After clicking on the menu in Grub I get a black screen. I've tried setting the "systemctl set-default multi-user.target" in the kernel parameters but still a black screen. I then tried the Rescue boot in Grub but again a black screen. This issue started after Gnome-tweak-tool was updated an hour ago. I had CentOS 7.6 running fine earlier this morning but after updating Gnome-tweak-tool just a black screen. Has anyone else come across this issue recently, and if so how did you fix it? I don't want to have to re-install CentOS 7.6. Thank you, Brian Bernard

Gantt chart software for CentOS 7 ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hi, I'm looking for a Gantt chart software that I can install easily on CentOS 7. I prefer EPEL - or some other third party repo - packages than some obscure installation script for home directories. Any suggestions ?

I need to test a new version of Geany but already have the repo version installed on all my systems. In order not to foul up my current installation, what is the suggested procedure for installing and testing this new version? I tried installing in a docker container which of course went fine but could not run it from there. Suggestions appreciated, thank you.

konqueror vs. centos and mathematics
by Michael Hennebry 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

I'm running centos 7. Firefox spends so much time in th D state that I am trying konqueror. Displaying mathematics on wikipedia, e.g. Remez algorithm seems to be a no go. Wikipedia seems to use tex, so I installed texlive and texlive-* . Firefox hadn't needed it and it did not seem to help konqueror. My guess is that there is a bit somewhere that I need to flip, but I have no idea where it is. Suggestions? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

PHP 7.x on CentOS 7 : which solution ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

Hi, As you all know, CentOS 7 is shipping PHP 5.4, which is OK in some situations. Unfortunately, some applications like OwnCloud require a more recent version of PHP. Up until recently, I've been using PHP 5.6 packages from the Webtatic repository. Despite the bad press this third party repo seems to have, it has been working perfectly for me for a few years. Here's the PHP 5.6 packages I have on an OwnCloud server: $ rpm -qa | grep php php56w-devel-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pdo-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-gd-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-mysql-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-process-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pear-1.10.4-1.w7.noarch php56w-common-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-xml-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pecl-redis-3.1.6-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-cli-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-mcrypt-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-mbstring-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pecl-igbinary-2.0.5-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-pecl-apcu-4.0.11-2.w7.x86_64 php56w-intl-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 php56w-soap-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64 Now I'll have to upgrade these to some version of PHP 7. So I googled "php 7 centos 7" and found quite a wealth of - sometimes contradictory - information. 1. The "recommended" way of doing things seems to be the Red Hat Software Collections. Correct me if I'm wrong. I wonder if this way of doing things will enable me to get all the PHP modules listed above. 2. The use of Webtatic seems to be frowned upon. I still have to figure out why, since this repository has always worked perfectly for me. 3. Then there's another repository managed by Remi Collet. Any thoughts on that? And then there's also the question : which version of PHP 7 should I choose ? On my servers, I'm mainly hosting WordPress, Dolibarr and OwnCloud. Any suggestions ? I'm no lamer for doing a bit of RTFM, so a pointer to documentation will do. The problem is not so much that there is no information on the subject. It's rather : there's too much. As we say in France : I'm confused about which saint to send my prayers to. :o) Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'église - 30730 Montpezat Site : https://www.microlinux.fr Blog : https://blog.microlinux.fr Mail : info(a)microlinux.fr Tél. : 04 66 63 10 32

netmask set with ifconfig doesn't hold
by KM 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

I gather that ifconfig is a way of setting the netmask in the current shell instead of a persistent value. I say this because I am running it and see it for my specific network interface, directly after running it. However if I restart the network service the netmask is reverted to the previous value. What is the correct way to set the new netmask for the network interface to make it persistent. if it's different for CentOS 6 and 7 I'd like to know that too. FYI - I tried searching about this but none of the info has really helped so far. Also consider this like "changing netmask for dummies" since I am not an administrator and am just searching and trying these things. Thanks very much in advance.KM

read permission on rotated logs
by Alice Wonder 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

When logs (e.g. /var/log/maillog) are rotated (e.g. to /var/log/maillog-YYYYMDD) is there a way via systemd or whatever to assign read permission to a specific group? Right now, for example - ls -l maillog* -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog -rw------- 1 root root 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224 -rw------- 1 root root 7237640 Mar 1 12:59 maillog-20190228 -rw------- 1 root root 1297508 Mar 3 04:21 maillog-20190303 -rw------- 1 root root 1319371 Mar 10 08:17 maillog-20190310 What I would like - ls -l maillog* -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224 -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 7237640 Mar 1 12:59 maillog-20190228 -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1297508 Mar 3 04:21 maillog-20190303 -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1319371 Mar 10 08:17 maillog-20190310 That way a user in somegroup could run a script that analyzes the rotated logs w/o needing root privileges. Obviously I could put a script in /etc/cron.hourly that looks for rotated log files and changes ownership / permission, but I am wondering if there is a "proper" way to configure it via systemd or another utility.

CPAN not working, or is it?
by Gary Stainburn 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

(I've just tried this on a second C7 box, literally clean install, only did it on Friday, with the same results) I'm replacing a dead F19 box with a new C7 one and I'm trying to get my Perl install completed. Ultimately, I need to get Selenium::Remote::Driver working, but I'm struggling before that. I started off as always by using RPM's for everything I possibly can. I then started to use CPAN for everything else. It looked like CPAN was working and things were installing "OK". However, as I went for bigger modules, anything that had dependences were then failing as the dependencie were installed OK but then did not appear to be available. The last thing I've just tried is to update CPAN as the RPM is 1.9800 and the latest is 2.6. As you can see below, the install worked, but when it reloaded, or when I came out and went back in, it still showed 1.9800 Anyone got any ideas what I need to do? cpan[2]> install CPAN Running install for module 'CPAN' Running make for A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-2.25.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-2.25.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CHECKSUMS Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-2.25.tar.gz ok CPAN.pm: Building A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-2.25.tar.gz Importing PAUSE public key into your GnuPG keychain... done!

CentOS 7 Installation Problems
by Eugene Poole 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

I attempted to install CentOS 7 x86_64 on my machine that has the following hardware: Motherboard: ASRock X99 Taichi BIOS: AMI v P1.40 08/04/2016 CPU: Intel Core I7-5820K RAM: 64 GB (8 x 8 GB DIMM) Optical: LG Blu Ray 25 G / 50 G burner Storage: 2 - 120GB PNY CS1311 SSD 4 - 4 TB Western Digital hard drives The 2 SSD drives are divided into 3 software RAID-1 devices: /dev/sda1 | /dev/sdb1 = /dev/md0 (2 GB) /dev/md0 /boot /dev/sda2 | /dev/sdb2 = /dev/md1 (77 GB) LVM /dev/VG_opsys /dev/vg_opsys/lv_root / 8 GB /dev/vg_opsys/lv_archive /archive 2 GB /dev/vg_opsys/lv_opt /opt 2 GB /dev/vg_opsys/lv_tmp /tmp 5 GB /dev/vg_opsys/lv_usr /usr 12 GB /dev/vg_opsys/lv_usr_local /usr/local 2 GB /dev/vg_opsys/lv_var /var 8 GB /dev/sda3 | /dev/sdb3 = /dev/md2 (32 GB) LVM /dev/vg_sysswap /dev/vg_sysswap/lv_sysswap swap 16 GB 4 - 4 TB Western Digital hard drives The 4 WD drives are divided into a single software RAID-10 device: /sdc1 | /sdd1 | /sde1 | /sdf1 = /dev/md3 (7.28 TB) LVM /dev/vg_jpd1data /dev/vg_jpd1data/lv_dbmsu00 /dbmsu00 160 GB /dev/vg_jpd1data/lv_websoft /websoft 70 GB ... ETC ... I like this configuration so I thought ... Installation attempt 1: Machine had been running CentOS 6.10 x86_64 with no problems at all. But I wanted to do some things on this machine and I didn't want to have to do a upgrade next year. I backed up all of the data on another machine so I wouldn't suffer a data loss. Inserted the CentOS 7 DVD and rebooted - for whatever reason it didn't see the DVD. Installation attempt 2: Rebooted and selected F11 for the boot menu and selected the SATA device for the Blu Ray (BTW, there was another selection that allowed me to boot UEFI for the Blu Ray). The installation continued and when I got the the storage screen I selected all 6 storage devices. When I got to the point where I tried to select all of the file systems (BTW, the /boot device was listed as unknown) I wanted format the volumes /boot, OpSys, and swap and I wanted to just mount the devices defined on the RAID-10 device. When I tried to accept the definitions the install just hung at the point. I had to power off the machine. Installation attempt 3: I decided to start from scratch so I went into rescue mode and removed all of the partitions on all 6 disks. So when I got the the storage screen I only selected the 2 120GB disks and went through a complete definition for /boot, vg_opsys, and vg_sysswap. But once again when I got to the point where I had to accept what was to be formatted it hung and had to be powered off t restart the install. I thought it might be my DVD so I downloaded a minimal install to try again. Installation attempt 4. I remembered that there are instructions on how to add software raid-1 on a running machine. So I did the allocations on a single 120 GB drive (/dev/sda). When I got to the same point as the first 3 attempts it once again hung. I rebooted on my GParted DVD and removed all the partitions on all 6 drives. Then rebooted using the CentOS 6 DVD and did the complete install including the RAID-10 devices. Why could I install completely CentOS 6 but not CentOS 7? Note: When booting I saw a selection for PF2 so I could setup UEFI. Also PF11 allows me to make a choice to boot from SATA3 standard MBR or UEFI boot. What am I doing wrong? -- Eugene Poole Woodstock, Georgia

C7 on Dell Precision 7530
by wwp 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

Hello, does anybody have experience with installing and running CentOS 7 on Dell Precision 7530 series (w/ Intel gfx chipset if that matters)? It can be bought w/ Ubuntu 16.04 LTS pre-installed (which doesn't attract me at all), but prior to use such hw model at work, I'd like to understand where I'm going to. Especially after my bad experiences installing C7 on "modern" (read since skylake variants) hardware whereas Ubuntu variants went better, gosh. Or maybe I should wait for C8. Of course I did dig the Internet for intel, found very few stuff and this: https://access.redhat.com/ecosystem/hardware/3431551 Regards, -- wwp

CentOS 8 Artwork needed
by Rich Bowen 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

To all the artists and designers here, we need your help. With RHEL 8 beta released, we need to start producing artwork for CentOS 8. It's time for the CentOS Artwork SIG, and anyone else that's interested in contributing to this effort, to start working on everything that will be needed for the new release. What we know we need is anaconda artwork, and new desktop backgrounds to replace the current '7' themed stuff. As we dig, we may find more things that need to be updated to the new 8 theme. Additionally, we will need to update some of the assets listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Identity ... and produce new assets for 8 to be listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Brand/Logo And, finally, we need someone to step up to lead this effort. While we don't yet know for certain when RHEL 8 will officially release, it's safe to assume that it's soon, and we need your help. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

elasticsearch connection refused
by Ralf Prengel 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Hallo, is anyone here using elasticsearch on centos? I tried several configs to configure external access but nothing is working. My tests: telnet localhost or 127.0.0.1 9200 works local on the machine telnet 192.168.242.4 9200 connection refused local on the machine. So it is clear that access from other systems can not work. Is there perhaps something special to consider when using centos 7? Thanks for hints. Ralf

CentOs 7 i386 & PAE Kernel
by Mike McTernan (wavemobile) 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Hi Gurus, I've been playing with CentOS 7's AltArch i386 builds with some good results on one machine, but can't get it to boot properly on another with a newer Bay Trail CPU. Previously CentOS 6 i386 worked on both, and that set a legacy I'd like to recreate... I *think* the problem is that the 7 kernel is non-PAE, and that has some peculiar knock on effect that prevents some PCI devices being seen, notably the device with the rootfs. CentOS 6 worked on both machines with the PAE kernel. Looking around, I found the following repo: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/centos-altarch/7/kernel/i386/ This carries 4.14 (long term support) based -PAE kernels (as well as non-PAE) which look to fix my problem. However, I can't find any description of this repo or policy on how it is updated or the intended use. Or why PAE kernels aren't provided as an option in the 'normal' i386 CentOS 7 builds. If anyone could help explain this repo and the view on PAE for the AltArch i386 builds of CentOS 7, I would be really grateful as I can't find the info anywhere else!

CentOS 7.6 kickstart error
by isdtor 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

I am testing a CentOS 7.6 kickstart installation. After kickstart was initiated, the installation stops at some point where a sort of table is printed under "Installation", and the item that fails is 4 - Software selection, Error checking software selection. I have checked /tmp/packaging.log and /tmp/anaconda.log, but cannot find any errors here that would prevent installation. Poor error messages, no usable lead for debug.

autofs mounts all map entries after unmount timeout
by Wilhelm Ruesing 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Hello, i have run an update on a machine with CentOS release 7.4.1708 and autofs 1:5.0.7-70.el7_4.1 to CentOS release 7.6.1810 and autofs 1:5.0.7-99.el7 The configuration did not change, all auto.* maps look the same as before. After the update, the autofs seems to be broken for the direct mounts. When reaching the umount timeout it does the opposite and mounts all direct mounts and never umounts. Does someone had already seen such behavior and can point me in the right direction to understand why this happens. Thanks for all your comments, Wilhelm

Automated XFCE install from kickstart and epel-release issue

Hello, I am working on a kickstart automated Centos 7 GUI vm deployment. Defining gnome desktop in kickstart works. @gnome-desktop - A GNOME desktop However Centos and anything from the epel-release such as xrdp does not work. I have tried it on different ways. repo --name=epel-release %packages #epel-release # DOES NOT WORK @ Core #@core @ Base #@base @ X Window System #@x11 #@ XFCE # DOES NOT WORK @xfce-desktop # DOES NOT WORK #@Server with GUI # DOES NOT WORK #Xfce # DOES NOT WORK #xrdp # DOES NOT WORK I have followed the recommendations in this discussion: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/81354/import-epel-gpg-key-in-kicks… None of them worked. In the %post% section yum -y commands seems to be ignored. I would also like to do a full system upgrade automatically. Any ideas? Thanks

somewhat OT -- are .appimage files safe?

Hello all. I'm in the midst of trying to transfer a G+ community to something else. I came across this site-- https://blog.friendsplus.me/export-google-plus-feeds-45926c925891 that actually has an advanced "exporter" app but it is an ".appimage" app. I am not familiar with this at all and was wondering if someone on this list is. Thanks for any help. -- "Less is more." ---------------- MzK

perl-Net-SCP on Centos 7
by Gary Stainburn 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hi All, My new server is now built and I'm rebuilding the various services. Falling at the first hurdle, my xinetd.conf service requrires perl-Net-SCP which doesn't appear to be available on C7. I could install CPAN and install it that way, but obviously I'd rather try to keep to RPM's if I can. I've tried Google, but not really come up with a solution I'm happy with. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've found a Fedora 29 RPM on RPMfind. Would that be close enough?

What files to edit when changing the sdX of hard drives?
by Jobst Schmalenbach 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hi I have read instructions for udev, I also found many example on how to do this. I want to lock in the SDA/SDB/SDC for my drives and I came up with a rule like this KERNEL=="sd?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="ST500DM002-1BC142_W2A56H8A", NAME="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger ID_SERIAL=$ENV{ID_SERIAL} set to /dev/sda ", GOTO="END_PERSISTENT_DISK" However, it is not clear to me is in what files I need to add my rules. Do I add a random file "99-my-rules.rules" in "/etc/udev/rules.d/"? Do I copy a file from "/usr/lib/udev" to "/etc/udev/rules.d/" and add my rules? Do I need to be careful with the NUMBER, e.g. "60-my-rule.rules"?

Scanner problems HP4620 Jon LaBadie.
by Ger van Dijck 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

Hi Jon , I agree it is a little bit confusing : On USB all runs fine . So Hplip , cups , etc. is installed and functionates . On WLAN , believe it or not printing and faxing runs fine ; So the Wifi communication is present and functionating , but the scanner function is not ! When running hp-check under USB (Discouvered Devices) the laptopcamera and the scanner is present and all goes fine . Under WLAN (hp-check) the laptopcamera is present , but the scanner not . Clear is the scanner function cannot functionate , Uncear is why can I print to the HP4620 , fax with the HP4620 and NOT scan to the HP4620 while there must excists a wireless communication ? This is an enigma . I am curieus , Ger van Dijck. -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Centos Digest Vol.169 Issue 26 HPlip Mark Roth/Jon LaBadie .

Hi Folks , The problems with HPlip goes on and on : I can not manage to establish a connection on WiFi with the HP4620 : I can print to the printer but not scan . Running hp-check results in cups is not running, hplip is not properly (HP) installed , xsane is not installed etc.. But I can assure you all this software is properly installed : Hp-check cannot detect the scanfunction on the HP4620. When running on USB cable all runs fine ! Maybe Bug 1683312 from Zdenek Dohnal (Red Hat) could be helpfull : I reported this bug . Hp does not support Unix/Linux applications ! Are they really so stupid to think that the world excist by MS and all other users do not need support: Arrogance or stupidity ?

Setting GDM resolution without knowing the monitor specs
by Warren Young 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

We had a complaint recently from a customer that received a server we shipped out that their monitor just showed a black screen. It turns out that they’d hooked it up to an ancient POS with 800x600 as its best resolution, and gdm in CentOS 7 apparently assumes at least 1024x768. It was apparently a major hassle for them to hunt down a reasonable monitor for us. Since we almost never use the GUI on these things, we thought we’d solve that problem going forward by shipping these boxes out to use a fixed 800x600, so they’ll work on any monitor the user plugs in. The first problem you run into is that the Settings > Devices > Display GUI only affects the login you do it under. GDM doesn’t pay attention to this, not even to the configuration set as root! Then you go web searching and find solutions involving xrandr and advice to just put it in /etc/gdm/Init/Default, but that doesn’t seem to work. I then got soooo close when I found the advice to set the monitor configuration in the GUI, then copy ~/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm/.config. That works…until you plug in a different monitor, because that file has a hard tie to the monitor brand, model and *serial number*! The monitors.xml file looks like this: <monitors version="2"> <configuration> <migrated/> <logicalmonitor> <x>0</x> <y>0</y> <primary>yes</primary> <monitor> <monitorspec> <connector>VGA-1</connector> <vendor>SAM</vendor> <product>SyncMaster</product> <serial>H1AK500000</serial> </monitorspec> <mode> <width>800</width> <height>600</height> <rate>60</rate> </mode> </monitor> </logicalmonitor> </configuration> </monitors> I have tried: 1. Removing the <monitorspec> section entirely. gdm then gives me a black screen on “systemctl restart gdm” from a text console. 2. Filling out all fields except <connector> with values like “default”, “generic”, “any”, “*”, etc. GDM decides you couldn’t possibly mean for this configuration to apply to that monitor, since it differs, so it ignores you and does whatever it likes instead. 3. Lots and lots of web searching for documentation on the file format to see if I can find out if there is a different way of specifying “any monitor, I don’t care”. I was about to go reading the source code, but I thought I’d ask here first. Keep in mind that we ship these systems out without knowing what monitor they’ll plug in, and once the systems are out in the field, it’s often difficult to get remote access to them. That means we can’t just log in with SSH, probe it with xrandr, and fix it remotely; we’re probably having the customer log in via the GUI to fix the problem that prevents us from SSHing in in the first place! It’s fine in our case to pin the configuration to “VGA-1”, because we know what connectors are on the server itself. We just don’t know what the customer will plug into it. I assume there’s a minimum screen resolution for CentOS 7, probably 1024x768, but we’re installing these systems with a reasonable screen. We only need this low resolution post-install, and then only so the customer can pull up a terminal and maybe run the Network settings tool. For that, 800x600 is fine. You do have to drag the Settings app around a bit to see everything, but it works. Our current fallback is Ctrl-Alt-F2 and nano, which is tolerable for some things — “Okay, type ‘ifconfig’…now find the line that has ‘inet’ in it, and read that back to me…’ — but remotely talking someone through changing ifcfg-noisenoise via nano is a minor nightmare, especially now that Confusing Network Device Naming is the default.

Performing post-installation setup tasks - for 75 minutes
by Gary Stainburn 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

I'm doing a new install, and everything seems to have gone fine apart from the incredible amount of time it's taken. It does have 6 x 4TB drives in RAID6 and I am installing from a USB DVD drive as I had no SATA ports left, but this is getting rediculous. I chose a simple install (the one above file and print server) and added Postgresql but that was about it. It took over 5 hours to do the install and at 16:50 it changed to Performing post-installation setup tasks. That was 85 minutes ago. The HDD light keeps flashing, but other than that (and the circle swirling) there doesn't seem to be any activity. Is this normal and can I check to see if it is actually doing something?
