CO 7.7.1908 Updates not getting to mirrors?
by Phelps, Matthew 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

I *know* there has been a lot going on, and congratulations on getting CentOS 8 out! But(!), I don't see any updates to CO 7.7.1908 in the "updates" directory on the mirrors I typically use. All the files date from Sept. 14th. Is something broken? -- *Matt Phelps* *Information Technology Specialist, Systems Administrator* (Computation Facility, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian 60 Garden Street | MS 39 | Cambridge, MA 02138 email: mphelps(a)cfa.harvard.edu cfa.harvard.edu | Facebook <http://cfa.harvard.edu/facebook> | Twitter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/twitter> | YouTube <http://cfa.harvard.edu/youtube> | Newsletter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/newsletter>

Interesting update problem
by isdtor 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

I had problems updating a 7.6 machine to 7.7, so I reinstalled it from scratch and applied all the 7.6 updates, then attempted the 7.7 upgrade again. It failed with the same errors. I'm wondering where the problem is? # yum update ... [hundreds of lines of the next line] warning: Unable to get systemd shutdown inhibition lock Error in PRETRANS scriptlet in rpm package 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.222.b10-1.el7_7.x86_64 Error in PRETRANS scriptlet in rpm package 1:java-11-openjdk-headless-11.0.4.11-1.el7_7.x86_64 Error in PRETRANS scriptlet in rpm package kmod-kvdo-6.1.2.41-5.el7.x86_64 mesa-libEGL-devel-18.3.4-5.el7.x86_64 was supposed to be installed but is not! Verifying : mesa-libEGL-devel-18.3.4-5.el7.x86_64 1/3285 [repeating for dozens or hundreds of other packages] ... Failed: [list of all upgrade packages] Of course mesa-libEGL-devel-18.3.4-5.el7.x86_64 is not installed, that's the new version. The installed version is mesa-libEGL-devel-18.0.5-4.el7_6.x86_64. Where did it all go wrong? I tried clearing the yum cache and rebuilding the rpm db, no joy. Another 7.6 machine upgraded fine, although from a smaller installed package set.

deprecations leading up to C8
by Fred Smith 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Was reading the long list of things being deprecated in the RHEL 8 release notes t'other day, and saw my old friend sendmail on the list. I've stuck by her because I've learned how she likes to be stroked to get the best out of her, and quail at the thought of taking on a new MTA and having to learn it all all over again. But I guess I'm going to have to, soon or late, probably sooner than later. :( Can anyone point me to resources specifically for helping us ignorant folk in converting all the arcan-ity in sendmail.mc into something equivalent for Postfix? Thanks in advancce!

Hello, I'm working with an employer that is looking to hire a permanent front end architect to join their London office.

7.7.1908, interface bonding, and default route
by Carlos A. Carnero Delgado 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Hi! I just upgraded a machine to 7.7.1908 and the default route is not being set on boot. This particular server has a bonded interface, and the corresponding configuration for the master is ( /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0): TYPE=Bond BOOTPROTO=none DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes NAME=bond0 DEVICE=bond0 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.3.20.131 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=10.3.20.1 DNS1=10.3.2.8 BONDING_MASTER=yes BONDING_OPTS="mode=802.3ad xmit_hash_policy=layer2 miimon=100" The slaves (two of them) are configured like TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none NAME=bond0-slave0 DEVICE=em3 ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes After booting, the routing table is 10.3.20.0/24 dev bond0 proto kernel scope link src 10.3.20.131 metric 300 with no default route configured (manually adding it will work, of course.) This machine worked perfectly before, and it did during previous upgrades and reboots. Has anyone ever had this problem before? Thanks, Carlos.

running init disconnects ssh session
by Stephen Berg (Code 7309) 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Noticing a new behavior lately. Logged in via sshd and ssh keys as root to a remote system. When changing runlevels between multi-user or graphical the ssh session is disconnected. It's not a big deal but annoying if I have other tasks to do on that particular system. I've tried logging in as normal user, su to root and it still disconnects the ssh session upon either an "init 3" or "systemctl isolate multi-user.target" command. -- Stephen Berg, IT Specialist, Ocean Sciences Division, Code 7309 Naval Research Laboratory W: (228) 688-5738 <- (Preferred contact) DSN: (312) 823-5738 C: (228) 365-0162

selinux reports
by Fred Smith 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

Hi all! I keep getting reports from selinux, like below, and I have no clue what the app is it's talking about, nor how do figure out if it should be allowed access or not. Anyone got any advice to offer? It says: The source process: /usr/sbin/xtables-multi attempted this access: open on this file: /run/xtables.lock Having no clue what xtables-multi is, or why or even if it should be able to open that file, I am at a loss: should I take action to enable it, or not? Thanks in advance!

UEFI booting
by Jerry Geis 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

I installed my first UEFI disk yesterday. Seemed to go fine. CentOS 7.6 x86_64 I then took that disk "out" of that machine and put it another machine - it seems to not even boot. I put the original disk back in that machine and it boots fine. I put the UEFI disk back in the machine I built it on and it works fine. They are similar machines either and i3 and i7. Shouldn't that work? Build a UEFI disk on machine A - move it to machine B? Thanks Jerry
