Remaster CentOS from source
by Jeremy Hendricks 28 May '19

28 May '19

Hello, I was curious if there were any documentation available on how to remaster CentOS from srpms (as in to recreate the process from RHEL srpms) to create a derivative distro. This is only for educational purposes to better understand the process. Thank you for your time.

Older versions of samba that work with CentOS 7?
by Jobst Schmalenbach 28 May '19

28 May '19

Hi. Are there any places I can download older versions of Samba working with CentOS 7? Reason: I have been upgrading all of my servers from 6.X to 7.X. This alone is a massive task for me as I am a one man band. Samba made massive changes not allowing NT style domains anymore in the 4.10 branch. If I can find older samba RPM's for CentOS 7 than I can finish all upgrades of the OS, then later upgrade samba once I am finished when I have more time. Any ideas anyone? thanks Jobst -- Jobst Schmalenbach The future isn't what it used to be (it never was).

Bash completion thrown by quoted option args?
by isdtor 24 May '19

24 May '19

There was a thread about C7 bash completion back in August last year, but it doesn't have answers for this problem. Example: "yum install /path/to/local/package" works fine with tab completion to fill in the path and package bits. However, "yum --debuglevel="1" install ..." just gets stuck and doesn't offer anything. The only option is to type everything out, or type enough to use a wildcard. After more testing, I found that any option argument that is quoted breaks completion. Which in turn makes me think this is not even specific to yum but bash completion in general. Bug? Upstream bug?

system unresponsive
by mark 24 May '19

24 May '19

Ok, we used to get this occasionally on cluster nodes, and we just got it on a fileserver (very bad). The system is discovered to be unresponsive: it doesn't ping, and plugging a console in, you can see that it's not dead, but there nothing at all on the screen, nor does it respond to even <ctrl-alt-del>. The only answer is to power cycle it; it comes up fine. Nothing in /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages. No abrts I can find. sar tells me it went unredponsive between 18:10 and 10:20 yesterday. Note that there are no further entries in sar, either, for yesterday, after the event, and nothing till I power cycled it. Has anyone else seen this - I can't imagine it's only us - or have any thoughts? C 7, 7.6.1810 mark

Bypassing 'A stop job is running' when rebooting CentOS 7
by James Pearson 23 May '19

23 May '19

I'm currently trying to reboot a CentOS 7.5 workstation (to complete an upgrade to 7.6), but it is 'stuck' while shutting down with 'A stop job is running for ...' - the counter initially gave a limit of '1min 30s' - but each time it reaches that limit, it just adds on ~90 seconds to the limit ... Currently the limit is '25min 33s' I'm in no hurry to have this workstation operational, but I guess at some point I will have to power cycle it ... Does anyone know how to bypass this? - or at least stop it increasing the limit each time it is reached? It does seems rather pointless to keep increasing the limit like this ... Thanks James Pearson

PHP 7.3 and IUS repo

Does anyone know if PHP 7.3 is coming to the IUS repo soon? I'd rather upgrade from 7.2 than tear out IUS and replace with Remi. -- -- Steve
