Memory vs. Display Card
by Rick 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

Since memory has become quite cheap lately I decided to move from 2 GB to 6. When I installed the memory every thing was fine until I went to run level 5. At that point the screen turned to garbage and the system froze. Is there a way to fix this so I can use the memory I bought? Do I need a new display card?

SSD for Centos SWAP /tmp & /var/ partition
by Keith Roberts 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

Has anyone actually used a SSD in a Centos setup? My little experiment with a s/h WD drive for /tmp and SWAP partitions kicked the bucket on Wednesday, when the poor WD drive caught the click-of-death. It was a s/h drive to start with and lasted about 4 months. But that was without the /var/log/ partition being written to it, as I mounted that back onto /var/log from the original drive. So I had to install another (WD) drive, and repartion it and rebuild my RPM package database, from the backed-up Packages file. That seems to be all OK now. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to use a new SSD for moving all the disk i/o to, that Linux likes to do so often. Plus putting SWAP onto a decent SSD should speed things up somewhat. Here's a short video of a laptop fitted with a SSD drive booting macOS, compared to a similar laptop booting from the standard HDD. The laptop with the SSD boots and loads some apps in 28 seconds. The other one takes twice as long. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_Extreme_Pro_6G/?utm_source=t… Kind Regards, Keith Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.karsites.net http://www.php-debuggers.net http://www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk All email addresses are challenge-response protected with TMDA [http://tmda.net] -----------------------------------------------------------------

Issues booting centos7 [dracut is failing to enable centos/root, centos/swap LVs]
by Yannis Milios 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hello, I'm having a strange problem booting a new centos7 installation. Below some background on this. [I have attached the tech details at the bottom of this message] I started a new CentOS7 installation on a VM, so far all good, o/s boots fine. Then I decided to increase VM disk size (initially was 10G) to 13G. Powered off the VM, increased the vhd via the hypervisor, booted from CentOS livecd, selected "recover my centos installation". Then I used the following sequence of commands to make the new vhd size "visible" to the o/s ... - ran fdisk /dev/sda and deleted partition 2. (This is the LVM partition where the o/s is stored. The first partition is /boot [xfs] partition *non lvm*.) - created a new partition with same starting sector as before deleting it, but a different ending sector (to reflect to the increased space). - set partition type to 8e (lvm), saved settings and exit. - ran pvresize and lvresize to make new space visible to the o/s.All good, I can see the space increase on 'lvdisplay centos/root'. - ran 'mount /dev/mapper/centos-root /mnt/root' to temporarily mount the o/s partition. - ran 'xfs_growfs /mnt/root' to resize the o/s fs to the new size. It was successful and I could actually chroot to the o/s and verify new disk size. - rebooted and tried to boot from hdd this time. Grub menu shows up and loads default kernel (3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64). - after initial kernel boot up process, booting continues to initrd and then it's where the problem starts... - looks like dracut has issues locating/enabling /dev/mapper/centos-root (lv) and as a result it cannot boot to the 'real' root fs (/). - while in dracut shell, I execute the following command sequence: 1. lvm lvchange -ay /dev/centos/root 2. lvm lvchange -ay /dev/centos/swap 3. ln -s /dev/mapper/centos-root /dev/root 4. exit ...and the o/s boots fine...so looks like the pv,vg,lv is detected properly while in initrd, but somehow dracut has difficulties enabling the root,swap LVs ? - While in o/s, I rebuild initrd by using: 'dracut -f -v -a lvm' Note, I have to use '-a lvm' as for some reason, if don't, the lvm utils (lvm,lvm_scan) are not being included to the initrd, not sure why this happens. After rebooting, same thing happens, I have to manually boot the system via dracut shell. I'm a bit stuck at this point, any clues what I'm doing wrong in here ? As I previously said, this is a new installation, so I could simply reinstall the whole thing, but I would rather try to find out some answer to why is this happening ... :-) [curiosity] Some additional details: ================== I've attached /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt file [generated while in inird] here: https://privatebin.net/?fdc4052c0c402884#gdB/QYR3IeR55SxUbjfrkZPQfJ7jMxiUxq… o/s ver=CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) [root@localhost ~]# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 13G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot └─sda2 8:2 0 12.5G 0 part ├─centos-root 253:0 0 11.5G 0 lvm / └─centos-swap 253:1 0 1G 0 lvm [SWAP] [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rd.shell rhgb" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

MATE 1.20 test build for CentOS 7 available
by Greg Bailey 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Hi everyone, There's been discussions in the past about updating MATE RPMs in EPEL-7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1436260 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-August/173154.html (and lots of others...) As a proof-of-concept, I've written some scripts that clone specific commits from the Fedora master branches, and then runs a tool to re-apply RPM scriptlets that are required by EL7 but removed from the Fedora .spec files. The scripts are available at: https://github.com/gebailey/mate-rpms/tree/master/1.20/el7 There's also instructions there if you want to try upgrading to MATE 1.20 w/o rebuilding them yourself. If these packages work for others, perhaps we can revisit the idea of updating the epel7 branches of the Fedora git repos and submitting an official update. There's nothing here (yet) about building MATE 1.22 (which might require a newer gcc for EL7), or building anything on CentOS 8, but thought the CentOS 7 users might find this helpful. -Greg

LibreOffice locking up
by H 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

I am running LibreOffice 5.3.6.1 under the latest update of CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop. Not infrequently LibreOffice Calc locks up and I have to force close the application. Altough the spreadsheet is rather large I would not consider it complex. This has been going on for some time and I am curious if the bug might be in LibreOffice or if there is some interaction with the Mate desktop that might be responsible. Both CentOS, LibreOffice and Mate have been regularly updated from the standard repositories for a long time. Does anyone else have the same problem?

CentOS7 and NFS
by Patrick Bégou 28 Aug '20

28 Aug '20

Hi, I need some help with NFSv4 setup/tuning. I have a dedicated nfs server (2 x E5-2620 8cores/16 threads each, 64GB RAM, 1x10Gb ethernet and 16x 8TB HDD) used by two servers and a small cluster (400 cores). All the servers are running CentOS 7, the cluster is running CentOS6. Time to time on the server I get: kernel: NFSD: client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx testing state ID with incorrect client ID And the client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx freeze whith: kernel: nfs: server xxxxx.legi.grenoble-inp.fr not responding, still trying kernel: nfs: server xxxxx.legi.grenoble-inp.fr OK kernel: nfs: server xxxxx.legi.grenoble-inp.fr not responding, still trying kernel: nfs: server xxxxx.legi.grenoble-inp.fr OK There is a discussion on RedHat7 support about this but only open to subscribers. Other searches with google do not provide useful information. Do you have an idea how to solve these freeze states ? More generally I would be really interested with some advice/tutorials to improve NFS performances in this dedicated context. There are so many [different] things about tuning NFS available on the web that I'm a little bit lost (the opposite of the previous question). So if some one has "the tutorial"...;-) Thanks Patrick

After update to 8 (2004) ... system is unbootable - UEFI Secure boot
by Leon Fauster 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

Hi all, I updated a Dell XPS laptop from CentOS 8.1 (1911) to 8.2 (2004). Installed kernels are kernel-4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.x86_64 kernel-4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64 kernel-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 Unfortunately I can not boot into the latest kernel-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64. After grub2 screen I only see following line: EFI stub: UEFI Secure Boot is enabled Booting into the older kernel is still possible. The above line appears and after that the normal kernel output scrolls over the screen (rhgb quiet disabled). Is the new kernel correctly signed? What can I do? -- Thanks Leon

Brother HL-L2360DW printing quality
by H 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

I have the above printer but have not been able to resolve issues with the printing quality in CentOS 7. The test page prints fine but when I print PDF-documents, most recently using Chinese fonts, it is lacking and the pages very hard to read. The settings in the Mate Cups configuration panel are fine and set to 600 dpi, the settings in the printer menu are all OK yet it prints more like maybe 150 or even 75 dpi. Any suggestion what might be wrong?

C8 - KVM on bridge on VLAN on team issues.
by Lamar Owen 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

As part of my initial KVM host on C8 deployment, I decided to set up some HA features on the new host, specifically NIC teaming. Teaming seems to be bond++ of a sort, so I thought I would at least try it. So here's the scenario: 1.) Server with two gigabit ethernet ports, two Cisco switches. 2.) During install, used the 'Server with GUI' group and added the virtualization packages. 3.) During install, set up team0 to include the two gig-e ports set up active-backup (two switches). 4.) During install, set up three bridges, with the slave devices being VLANs pointed to the team0 subinterfaces (using VLANs 68, 101, and 302; 101 is to be the management bridge for the host, with guests on all three VLANs). So, for instance, bridge101 has a slave that is VLAN101 that points to team0.101 with a VLAN ID of 101. The bridge101 interface has a manual IP address, but bridge68 and bridge302 do not (IPv4 disabled; IPv6 Ignore) 5.) After reboot, the bridge101 interface comes up, and I successfully connect to the host, since the install is 8.1.1911, I ran a 'dnf update' up to 8.2.2004, which went well, then I successfully set up and used cockpit, cockpit-bridge, cockpit-machines, again over the IP address on bridge101. Ok, now that the base connectivity is working: 1.) Connect to the host (traffic on bridge101 over team0.101) using virt-manager on my laptop and install a C8 guest, with the network pointed to bridge302, and a manual IP address. 2.) After reboot of guest, there is no IP connectivity to the guest's gateway on VLAN302. 3.) HOWEVER, the gateway's MAC address shows up in the host's bridge fdb for VLAN302, AND in the arp output for the guest; ALSO, the MAC address for the guest shows on the cisco switch 'show mac-address-table' output. The output of 'ip --br link' looks normal for this configuration, but there's a disconnect somewhere. So, since I see that VLAN101 is passing traffic to the bridge correctly (since the management IP is on that VLAN), I try to set up a guest on VLAN101; no dice, no work, but the management IP still works fine. So, does anyone here have a working setup with KVM guests connecting to bridges using 802.1q VLANs on top of a team? Or even on top of a bond (I can reinstall and set it up as a bond easily enough, using active-backup, as far as I know; and, yes, I would reinstall the host from scratch to do this).

RPMFusion and NVIDIA driver problem
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi list, I'm on C8.1 and I'm trying to install NVIDIA driver from rpmfusion-nonfree repository but it returns: package kmod-nvidia-3:440.82-2.el8.x86_64 requires kmod-nvidia-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64 >= 3:440.82-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel < 4.18.0-148.el8 needed by kmod-nvidia-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64-3:440.82-2.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) and uname -r returns: 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 Seems that RPMFusion needs an update. Waiting for this there is a way to install this package without fall in problems? Thank you in advance.

fdisk boot partition
by Jerry Geis 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

I am trying to use CentOS 8 host to boot an image (OS X) that I created using dd. First I tried fdisk -l image_file.img - all looks good so I did fdisk image_file.img - this works - but seems in CentOS 8 fdisk there is no longer a toggle bootable flag option. How do I do that ? Thanks, Jerry

what's the advantage of NetworkManager for server?
by d tbsky 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi: I always use network-scripts to start network at EL7. NetworkManager is not as good as network scripts under that OS. but now EL8 said that network-scripts is depreciated. I wonder if I should still use network-scripts to start network? I am afraid there will be new bugs for the network-scripts, like systemd service unit dependency. although it is solid at EL7.

CentOS 7 system running out of available memory, then unusable, network interfaces probably involved
by wwp 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Hello, my CentOS 7 system goes unstable after few days of use, memory consumption growing and never getting freed, until the system slows down to hell (swapping), kills apps, and eventually freezes or reboots itself. This only happens when I have two network interfaces turned on, one wired and one wireless, each to different routers. The hardware: a Dell Precision 7530, SSD, 16GB RAM. HW memory and disk both tested OK by software. According to lspci: 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (7) I219-LM (rev 10) 6e:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 (rev 29) The software: I keep this CentOS 7 system up-to-date with the CR repo, excepted the microcode_ctl package, stuck to few versions back (updating it kills the system and potentially causes fs damages). Kernels reproducing the issue (IOW, all): kernel-3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64 Nothing jumps to my eyes looking at /var/log/messages but this, many occurrences: kernel: nf_conntrack: falling back to vmalloc. I searched the Internet for it, and the few results I found were not bringing any solution and were quite pessimistic WRT to memory freeing, am I wrong? Regards, -- wwp https://useplaintext.email/

Adding root CA certificates for use by NSS applications?
by James Pearson 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

I'm trying to get a third party application to use the root CA certificate of an SSL proxy - but can't work out how to install the cert for use by all users on CentOS 7 I have the proxy vendor's supplied CA cert in PEM format I can install the cert in a user's home directory using 'certutil' - and the application works OK - but I would like to do 'something' to install this cert somewhere central that will be picked up by all users After a bit of Googling, I've found that by default, EL7 uses 'p11-kit-trust.so' (from the p11-kit-trust package) as a drop-in replacement for the nss supplied 'libnssckbi.so' (via 'alternatives') - which, I believe, should be able to pick up CA certs installed under /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ Strace'ing the app, I can see it reading the files under /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/... including the required CA cert - but the app fails to connect - but I have no idea what might be wrong ... Am I missing something obvious here? Is there an easier way to achieve what I want? Thanks James Pearson

CentOS 8 - Fail to mount ${HOME}
by Yair Garfinkel 29 Jun '20

Hi, We have a large amount of CentOS 7 here and when a user logs in to any of them, his home directory is mounted of the network. When we tried to do this with CentOS 8, the user logs in but his home directory was created locally on the machine. - I have already disables this "nice" feature by running: [root@lab_cnt08 ~]# *authconfig --disablemkhomedir --update* - Both CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 machines reside in the same domain. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, *Yair Garfinkel*

Softwarecollections and EL8
by Leon Fauster 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

Just a general question. Will software collections be available in EL8? Does RH plan to provide such alternatives? Or are Application Streams the new way to follow (I known that both are not equivalent and that they address different scenarios). https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo/CollectionsList -- Leon

php 5.6 on CentOS 6
by H 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

I am in the process of moving various apps and data off a CentOS 6 server to a new server running CentOS 7. As part of the migration process I need to upgrade an app and corresponding data files which requires php 5.6. I do have php 5.5 (and 5.4) installed since earlier but now tried to install php 5.6 from SCL which failed. This is the package I tried: https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-php56/ but the error message is that there is no package 5.6. Is this correct and what would the recommended procedure then be since I do need 5.6 for this. Use Remi's collection or something else? I was hoping SCL would have it since it is well-tried and easy to sandbox on the computer. Thank you. H
