CentOS 7 hibernation laptop
by H 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

I have a recent Dell Inspiron laptop on which I installed CentOS 7. I have, however, failed somewhere since I do not have a hibernate option when shutting down, only a suspend option. I believe I created the necessary hibernation partition large enough for the RAM the machine has, 16 Gb if I remember correctly. How do I identify where the problem lies?

32-bit CentOS
by Dave Close 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

It appears that CentOS 7 was the last one with a 32-bit version. I'm trying to install it on an older laptop and having some trouble. I have CentOS-7-i386-Everything-1810.iso and have verified it. Using either dd or mediawriter to put a copy on a 16 GB thumb drive seems to work. But then the laptop reports, "no boot image found". Note that the first 32 KB of the iso is all zeros, meaning that there is no MBR or partition table included. According to the 0_README.txt on the CentOS mirrors, the Everything ISO, "contains the complete set of packages for CentOS Linux 7. It can be used for installing or populating a local mirror. This image needs a 16GB USB flash drive as it is too large for DVD isos... You can burn these images to a DVD or 'dd' them to a USB flash drive. After the boot media has been prepared, boot the computer off the boot media." Does anyone know what I don't understand about this procedure? -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 dave(a)compata.com dhclose(a)alumni.caltech.edu "Fairness is a concept that was invented so kids and idiots could participate in debates." --Dogbert

epoch rpm el8 obsolete?
by Leon Fauster 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

I am building a new workstation based on EL8 now. As someone else here mentioned, the raw EL8 distribution is unusable as a workstation. Therefore I am building lot of additional packages. Today I came across a problem with a custom package with an Epoch version, that kills the yum/dnf update process (it tries to find a "best" package etc.). My actually question; is the RPM Epoch stanza obsolete now (for EL8)? I remember that they also started to delete Groups categories ... -- LF

adding uefi to kickstart CentOS 7
by Jerry Geis 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

I am trying to add an efi partition to my working kickstart file. bootloader --driveorder=sda --append="rhgb quiet biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0" clearpart --all --initlabel part / --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=20000 --asprimary part swap --ondisk=sda --size=4000 --asprimary part /boot/efi --ondisk=sda --fstype efi --size=1000 --asprimary part /home --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=1 --asprimary --grow the line with /boot/efi is the only new item other then "removing" --location=mbr from the bootloader line. The install is not working. It stops on the Installation part with selections 1-8. I see no errors on screen - but the selection for "Install source" has a "!" and "error setting up install source" is there. when I goto another console and run fdisk -l /dev/sda nothing shows so my partitions are not getting setup. What did I miss to setup efi ? Thanks, Jerry

I'm trying this on CentOS 7.6 How do I correctly boot UEFI with qemu ? Thanks Jerry

where are all the Redhat 8 -devel packages?
by Florin Andrei 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

I'm probably missing something really simple. I've installed an RH8 IAM in AWS and I'm trying to build packages on it. I've noticed there are many *-devel packages that I cannot install: ######################################## [ec2-user@site1-vpn ~]$ sudo yum install trousers-devel Last metadata expiration check: 1:10:41 ago on Thu 04 Jul 2019 01:01:14 AM UTC. No match for argument: trousers-devel Error: Unable to find a match ######################################## However, if I download trousers-0.3.14-2.el8.src.rpm from Redhat and I build it on my RH8 instance, it builds the -devel package: ######################################## Wrote: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/trousers-0.3.14-2.el8.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/trousers-lib-0.3.14-2.el8.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/trousers-static-0.3.14-2.el8.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/trousers-devel-0.3.14-2.el8.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/trousers-debugsource-0.3.14-2.el8.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/trousers-debuginfo-0.3.14-2.el8.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /home/ec2-user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/trousers-lib-debuginfo-0.3.14-2.el8.x86_64.rpm ######################################## Same issue for json-c and json-c-devel and other packages. What's going on, what is the little detail I'm totally missing? I've checked the repositories in yum, I think everything important is enabled. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
