Instead of publishing multiple blog posts here and then point to updated content, we decided this time to have a dedicated wiki page that can be used to track our current status : https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8 So now you can look at that page while we're busy on those tasks, and refresh from time to time. Let's spread the news about the wiki page and point people (on mailing-lists, irc, forums, etc) to that page to get all latest news about CentOS 8.0.1905 build status !

Re-install workstation - best repo's
by Gary Stainburn 09 May '19

09 May '19

I'm going to rebuild my workstation because maintaining it is now a nightmare after using "recommended" repo's that now conflict with each other. Every time I do a yum update I it fails with conflicts. I'm looking for new recommendations for which repo's to use to have a stable Centos 7 workstation. Much like Centos itself, most of the web pages are very old now. I'm looking for a KDE workstation with mp3 support and video editing. I use simple command line tools such as ffmpeg.

Hi, folks, Especially Johnny - could you possibly push this fix through as soon as upstream puts it out?

kickstart compat C7 -> C8
by Leon Fauster 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hi all, I still use the following kickstart partition scheme for C7 installations (via virt-install): Briefly, fixed size for /root and /boot, and the rest is filled up for /srv. The same kickstart (despite that c7 uses vda, f29 uses sda) doesn't work with Fedora29 (EL8). I get a "device is too small for new format" error. Any hints? part /RESCUE --fstype="ext4" --ondisk=sda --size=1280 --label=RESCUE part /boot --fstype="ext4" --ondisk=sda --size=512 --label=BOOT part pv.0104 --fstype="lvmpv" --ondisk=sda --grow volgroup ee --pesize=4096 pv.1974 logvol / --fstype="ext4" --size=3072 --encrypted --label="ROOT" --name=00 --vgname=ee logvol /srv --fstype="ext4" --percent=100 --grow --encrypted --label="SRV" --name=01 --vgname=ee Thanks, LF

youtube-dl No module named 'pkg_resources'
by Michael Hennebry 08 May '19

08 May '19

youtube-dl doesn't work for me after a recent update. I do not use it often, so do not know whether the update matters. It gives the error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' I've tried reinstalling python-setuptools, installing python34-setuptools and reinstalling youtube-dl . I'm aware there is a bugzilla on it. That and stackoverflow are where I got the ideas above. How do I make youtube-dl work on Centos 7? -- 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

Issues trying to change the selinux context
by mark 08 May '19

08 May '19

We're forced to use Siteminder, by CA, who have no clue what they're doing in *nix. No packages, tarballs... Anyway, I'm trying clean up some stuff, and in /*/smwa/webagent/bin (all their binaries, including .so's, are in there, duh... I'm trying to set the .so's to lib_t. semanage -fcontext -a -t lib_t "/<elided>/smwa/webagent/bin(/.*).so" gives me the completely unexpected response of semanage: error: argument subcommand: invalid choice: 'lib_t' (choose from 'import', 'export', 'login', 'user', 'port', 'ibpkey', 'ibendport', 'interface', 'module', 'node', 'fcontext', 'boolean', 'permissive', 'dontaudit') What am I doing wrong? mark

No network on cloned CentOS 7 installation
by Nicolas Kovacs 08 May '19

08 May '19

Hi, I have a few identical Dell Optiplex 7010 machines that I want to use for our school's computer room. I tried to clone these installations (like I did before on CentOS 5 and various versions of Slackware), but this time I ran into a problem. Here's what I did. 1. Install one computer and zero unused hard disk sectors with dd. 2. Send the image to a local FTP server using G4L (Ghost4Linux). 3. Fetch the image on another computer. 4. Boot the new computer in rescue mode and change the hardcoded /etc/hostname to a new value. Let me add that I removed all hardcoded MAC addresses from /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-em1, which has only very limited information in it. What else could cause the network to choke on a cloned installation?

Slow performance with NFSv4.1 on CentOS 7.5 ?
by James Pearson 08 May '19

08 May '19

We have a number of identical NFS clients mounting a server using NFSv4.1 - server and clients are all running CentOS 7.5 (kernel 3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64) However, on some clients, the NFS performance 'degrades' with time ... Running a simple test - a python script that just imports a module (python and its modules are installed on the NFS share) can be an order of magnitude or more slower on some clients. i.e. very little data is transferred, it is the rate of stat'ing and opening files on the NFS server that is 'slow' Running a tcpdump on a 'slow' client shows that the NFS traffic generated on the 'slow' client is again an order of magnitude or more when compared with that generated by a 'fast' client The majority of the extra NFS traffic in the slow case, appears to be a large number of NFS 'TEST_STATEID' calls the client makes - which are not there in the tcpdump on the fast client The issue can be 'fixed' in the short term by rebooting the affected client - and after a reboot, running the same tcpdump shows no TEST_STATEID calls - however after a while (several days), the performance might degrade again I've found a number of reports of excessive TEST_STATEID calls - but most seem to relate to NFSv4 client hangs - which is not happening here - things are working, but much slower than they should be ... Has anyone come across this issue - and have any fixes/workarounds? Thanks James Pearson
