CentOS IRC channels moving to irc.libera.chat
by Rich Bowen 19 May '21

19 May '21

TL;DR: #centos and #centos-* are moving to libera.chat Over the past few days, there has been some upheaval on the Frenode IRC network, resulting in a number of the staff members quitting and starting a new IRC network. I wont attempt to explain all the details here, but you can read more at https://kline.sh which also links to other sources. The various ops have discussed the situation, and we intend to migrate all of the various #centos-* channels from Freenode over to irc.libera.chat over the coming days. This will take time, since libera is still spinning up, and some servers are moving from one network to the other. As libera is still in the early stages of setup, you may have significantly more timeouts/disconnects, netsplits and other issues for now. Until the new network is fully stable, we'll all continue to be present in the Freenode chanels. Please bring further questions to the IRC channels (on either network).

Trying to build enca
by Adrian van Bloois 18 May '21

18 May '21

Hi, I want to get vlc or mplayer to work on CentOS 8. For this I need enca to beinstalled. So I took it from Fedora 31 and tried to build the rpm. At the end of the process I get this message: Processing files: enca-debugsource-1.19-4.el8.x86_64 error: Empty %files file /home/adrian/rpmbuild/BUILD/enca-1.19/debugsourcefiles.list RPM build errors: Empty %files file /home/adrian/rpmbuild/BUILD/enca-1.19/debugsourcefiles.list Any ideas about what's going wrong???

CentOS 7: samba 4.10.x: smbd daemon cannot free space used from the spool temp file removed
by Dario Lesca 18 May '21

18 May '21

After a while, the /var filesystem is full because the smbd samba daemon cannot release the space of job files removed: To release this space I must restart the service or kill -15 the process that already use this file.

Using Cgroups in CentOS-7
by Gestió Servidors 18 May '21

18 May '21

Hi, I want to limit CPUQuota and Memory using "Cgroups". After reading some documents, it seems I need to modify "user.slice" systemd file adding "CPUQuota=25%" (for example) but, after it, if I run a "stress" with other user (not "root"), stress process takes 100% CPU. I have noticed that rebooting system non-root user has % CPU limited... but also root... so is it possible to configure that limits to all users but non root? Thanks.

pam_mysql
by Emmett Culley 16 May '21

16 May '21

I am attempting to create a multiple domain email server using postfix and cyrus-imap on CentOS Stream 8. It will includes a web back end similar to cyradm. Now I am stuck on mysql or mariadb support for pam. I am not able to find a pam_mysql rpm that will install on CentOS 8. I have a previous version working on CentOS 7. On CentOS 7 I am using pam_mysql 1:0.7-0.20.rc1.fc23 and all is working and has been for a number of years. I found pam_mysql-0.8.1-0.6.fc32.x86_64.rpm, but when I attempt to install it, it says it needs libcrypt.so.1 and it appears CentOS Stream has libcrypt.so.2 Any pointers either where to find pam_mysql, or some other solutions, for CentOS Stream 8? Note that I have epel-release installed and enabled, though epel-playground is disabled, and I am using Remi's repos to install php 7.4.

Weird localectl behavior under CentOS 7
by Nicolas Kovacs 15 May '21

15 May '21

Hi, On a fresh CentOS 7 installation using Français/France as regional parameters in the installer, here's what localectl looks like: [microlinux@linuxbox ~]$ localectl System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 VC Keymap: ch-fr X11 Layout: ch X11 Variant: fr Now I'd like to have my system messages in english. So I set the system language accordingly: $ sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8 Things seem to look OK now: [microlinux@linuxbox ~]$ localectl System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8 VC Keymap: ch-fr X11 Layout: ch X11 Variant: fr Except when I display my LANG variable, it's still fr_FR.UTF-8 for normal users... but en_US.utf8 for root. This looks like inconsistent or buggy behavior to me. Any suggestions on how to change the default system locale LANG so that it's en_US.utf8 for everybody *without* having to jump through burning loops and putting it in everybody's ~/.bashrc ?

getssl was working stopped
by Jerry Geis 14 May '21

14 May '21

Hi All - I am using getssl on CentOS 7. It have been working fine since Feb 17th and just stopped. My script: getssl -u -a -q getssl: for some reason could not reach http://MY_NAME/.well-known/acme-challenge/lL_ublhWh3fnmbXhhh3BR3bdnjHoMFAgT… - please check it manually So I did check it manually from another machine - it works fine: curl http://MY_NAME/.well-known/acme-challenge/lL_ublhWh3fnmbXhhh3BR3bdnjHoMFAgT… lL_ublhWh3fnmbXhhh3BR3bdnjHoMFAgTimTvZUTLQM.tIS27xF0xtz7YHES31MATofXyCeyfqttq7B_YBYZetI So it works fine. I then thought perhaps a firewall issue. So I "systemctl stop firewalld", redid the getssl -u -a -q command above - and I get the same error. How do I see/tell what its not liking ? Thanks, Jerry

systemd and 'Stale file handle' errors?
by James Pearson 14 May '21

14 May '21

I have a CentOS 7 system where I needed to restart chronyd - but the systemctl restart failed with the error: systemd[1]: Starting NTP client/server... systemd[43578]: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /usr/sbin/chronyd: Stale file handle systemd[1]: chronyd.service: control process exited, code=exited status=226 Turns out there are a couple of Stale NFS file handles from fuse mounts (related to gvfsd) of sub directories under an NFS mounted home directory server - but the home directory for the user in this case, no longer exist (user has left) However, I have no idea why these 'Stale file handles' prevent a service being started by systemd ? In this case, chronyd has nothing to do with NFS mounted user home directories - so shouldn't really care ? I have tried everything I can think of to clear these stale mounts, but with no luck Does anyone know why systemd complains about unconnected 'Stale file handles' - and is there any way I can tell systemctl to start a service regardless of these 'errors' ? Rebooting the host will be a last resort (the system is used by many users) - but in the meantime, I've manually started the /usr/sbin/chronyd binary directly, which runs fine Thanks James Pearson
