Force package install using yum?
by Jeffrey Walton 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi Everyone, I have a CentOS 7 box that's refusing a rpm update. I suspect it has something to do with SCL enabled. The 'yum update' output is shown below. I need to force this package to install. I don't give a damn about the log files. I need that server patched since it is forward facing. Taking the server offline is not an option. How do I force the package installation? Thanks in advance. ==================== Running transaction Updating : httpd24-httpd-2.4.34-18.el7.x86_64 1/2 Error unpacking rpm package httpd24-httpd-2.4.34-18.el7.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/logs: cpio: rename httpd24-httpd-2.4.34-15.el7.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!

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.
