The latest entries look like this: Apr 22 08:51:32 daisy kernel: [141224.655699] CT: 1005: stopped Apr 22 08:55:04 daisy ata_id[21513]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb' Apr 22 09:00:05 daisy ata_id[21584]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb' Apr 22 09:05:02 daisy ata_id[21644]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb' Apr 22 09:10:01 daisy ata_id[22282]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb' Apr 22 09:11:49 daisy kernel: [142441.721065] INFO: task hdparm:22246 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

22 Apr '20

Hi All, I was following the instructions for installing nodejs version 14. https://github.com/nodesource/distributions First thing was: curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash - After that : yum -y install nodejs ---> Package nodejs.x86_64 2:12.16.2-1nodesource will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution You can see its installing the OLD Version 12. not the 14. ??? Why ?

There are a few situations here. 1. You are a business customer with a static IP, and are entitled to send/receive SMTP by your ISP (Comcast) 2. You are a business/residential customer who is allowed to send (not likely allowed to receive) SMTP and you have a domain elsewhere to receive replies to your email 3. You are a business/residential customer who is NOT allowed to send SMTP except for your ISP (Comcast) provided email. Only you would know which on for sure is you, but it is very likely #3. The advice provided previously is for case #1 - contact Comcast and inform them that your contracted services are not working because of .... and you will need to beable to work with them on testing and suggesting fixes. They have a dedicated support phone number (which they provided you if you are actually a #1 type customer - e.g. gigabit pro, metro Ethernet, etc.) In case you are a #2 or #3 type customer, you may want to use a smart host configuration - e.g. define('SMART_HOST','[smtp.comcast.net]') . For postfix, use relayhost = [smtp.comcast.net] . Now when you send mail to that relay it will relay it. This is provided you are entitled to have your email relayed - contact Xfinity customer service for help there. If using this relay does not work, please post the exchange starting with the HELO (check your maillog or do it by hand with telnet). -- Jason Pyeron | Architect PD Inc | 10 w 24th St | Baltimore, MD | .com: jpyeron(a)pdinc.us tel : 202-741-9397

Netfilter fails to filter traffic from a netblock?
by Jeffrey Walton 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Hi Everyone, We rent a CentOS 7 VM from GoDaddy. We received a warning about excessive cpu usage, and a threat to cancel our service. We tracked it down to Apache and someone hammering our web server. The offending host is 59.64.129.175. To err on the side of caution we attempted to block the entire netblock. According to whois data, that's 59.64.128.0-59.64.159.255. iptables -A INPUT -s 59.64.128.0/19 -p TCP -j DROP After reboot cpu usage is still high and access_log still shows useless requests from the host: 59.64.129.175 - - [19/Apr/2020:08:53:53 -0400] "GET /w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere&limit=50& printable=yes HTTP/1.1" 301 311 I seem to be missing something. That's not surprising since I am not a server administrator. How do I filter the unwanted traffic from the netblock? Thanks in advance.

CentO 8 and nftables default policy
by Alessandro Baggi 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Hi list, I'm studying nftables. I'm using CentOS 8.1 (Gnome) and I disabled firewalld. I noticed that a default policy is created with tables and chains probably for firewalld. So I created a .nft script where I stored my rules with a flush for previous ruleset, then saved on /etc/sysconfig/nftables.conf and the enabled nftables service. Running the script with nft -f script.nft all work as expected but when rebooting, running nft list ruleset I find my rules and the default policy (chains and tables) that I would not have in my configuration. My nftables.conf contains only my ruleset. For example, running nft list tables I found several default tables like: table ip filter table ip6 filter table bridge filter table ip nat table ip mangle So probably there is something that is applying its policy but I ignore what is. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

Strangeness on X11 screen capture

Hi all, I am running CentOS 7 on a NUC5CPYB. Intel video: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 35) When I take a screen shot I get "different" things. I use: export DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/xwd -silent -root -out screen; convert screen screen.png I tried import also for the screen capture and its the same random images. Granted the images are all things I have showing previously - but most times its not what is showing now. I have verified the Intel driver is loaded: [ 19.009] (II) LoadModule: "intel" [ 19.010] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so [ 19.012] (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 19.012] compiled for 1.20.1, module version = 2.99.917 [ 19.012] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 19.012] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 24.0 [ 19.012] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, GM45, 4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43 [ 19.015] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) HD Graphics [ 19.015] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics [ 19.015] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Pro Graphics [ 19.015] (++) using VT number 1 [ 19.016] (II) intel(0): Using Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version 1.6.0 20181204 [ 19.018] (--) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD Graphics [ 19.019] (--) intel(0): CPU: x86-64, sse2, sse3, ssse3, sse4.1, sse4.2; using a maximum of 2 threads [ 19.019] (II) intel(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section "Default Screen Section" for depth/fbbpp 24/32 [ 19.019] (==) intel(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 [ 19.019] (==) intel(0): RGB weight 888 [ 19.019] (==) intel(0): Default visual is TrueColor [ 19.023] (II) intel(0): Output DP1 has no monitor section [ 19.024] (II) intel(0): Enabled output DP1 [ 19.024] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI1 has no monitor section [ 19.025] (II) intel(0): Enabled output HDMI1 [ 19.025] (II) intel(0): Output DP2 has no monitor section [ 19.026] (II) intel(0): Enabled output DP2 [ 19.026] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI2 has no monitor section [ 19.027] (II) intel(0): Enabled output HDMI2 [ 19.027] (--) intel(0): Using a maximum size of 256x256 for hardware cursors [ 19.027] (II) intel(0): Output VIRTUAL1 has no monitor section [ 19.027] (II) intel(0): Enabled output VIRTUAL1 [ 19.028] (--) intel(0): Output HDMI2 using initial mode 1920x1080 on pipe 2 What can be doing this ?

CentOS 8 and xhost
by Jerry Geis 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

I am trying to run 'xhost +' on CentOS 8 (such that I can grab a screen shot) but its not letting me. On boot of X I run the "xhost +" then later with SSH into hte box - I run export DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-screenshot -f jj.png and I get the cannot open display message. This works on the older CentOS 7. What is the magic for C8? Thanks, Jerry
