/etc/networks file
by Jay Hart 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

I am having some network connectivity issues that manifest itself through ping, wget, dnf, etc. The symptoms are intermittent ability to ping, was wget, or connect to repositories. Where this inquiry is going is: If your internal network is using 192.168.1 or 10..50.10, what should be in /etc/networks. My current file contains: default 0.0.0.0 loopback 127.0.0.0 link-local 169.254.0.0 And I'm pretty sure this is the default OS installed contents. I don't think this is related to my connectivity issue, just curious about what this file does. My old server (which is working just fine) has the same content in its /etc/networks file so not configuring this does not seem to matter one way or the other. If one were using 192.168.1.x network , assume 'default' should be 192.168.1.0. 'Link-local' should match??? Thanks, Jay

halt versus shutdown
by Leon Fauster 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Working with different OSs can be quite challenging (mentally :-)). I wonder why the command "halt" has not same result between EL6 and EL8. To shutdown the vm or workstation in EL8 i must use "shutdown now". Who mandates this behavior in terms of configuration file? -- Leon

Modifying username
by Jay Hart 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

I modified a users name on my system. From ABCLast, to ALast (used as an example). I modified the username, then the group name of the user (to align with the new name), and then I moved the users home directory from /home/ABCLast, to /home/ALast. Then using vipw, edited the home directory to use /home/ALast. When I got finished editing the passwd file, I got the following message: You have modified /etc/passwd. You may need to modify /etc/shadow for consistency. I don't know what to do here. Need some guidance please. lastly, did I miss anything here? Any other steps I need to do to get this user squared away due to the name change? Thanks, Jay

pppoe
by Joe 12 Jun '20

Hello, CentOS 8 dropped the rp-pppoe package. My attempts with NetworkManager-ppp already failed because it seems that it is not possible to use a VLAN as a device. Please, how does it work under C8 to set up a pppoe connection (German Telekom, VDSL (VLAN 7 required), ZTE modem). Thanks. Joe

Minicom and Ncurses
by Nicolas Kovacs 12 Jun '20

12 Jun '20

Hi, I have to do some maintenance on a CentOS 7 proxy installed on a routerboard without a video card. The only way to access this machine directly is via Minicom and serial port. I'm using NetworkManager TUI (nmtui) to configure network interfaces, but Ncurses rendering in Minicom works in the sense that chickens fly and horses swim. What you get is a forest of question marks with a few barely recognizable options lost in between. Is there some magical trick to render Ncurses interfaces correctly in Minicom ?

virt-manager guest and sound
by Jerry Geis 10 Jun '20

I am running C7 host and pulse audio. I have a Win 10 guest with ICH9 audio. It works - but I hear artifacts. Anything to do to help audio be flawless under guest VM ? Currently I was just on youtube and playing a song. nothing special. Plenty of resources on the host. The guest has 8G ram and 8 CPU. Thanks Jerry

In CentOS 8 new install, old /home, .desktop opens in gedit
by Lamar Owen 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Ok, hoping someone has seen this or at least knows where to look. I have been waiting around a bit to upgrade my system to CentOS 8, and actually wanted to wait on 8.2, but had an opportunity this week to actually do the work, so took the opportunity. Here was my process: 1.) Installed CentOS 8.1.1911 on a spare mSATA SSD in my spare M6700 laptop. Installed the RPMfusion nVidia drivers, the PowerTools repo, set up the extensions for Places, Applications, etc, and got it prepped to accept my /home disk. 2.) After complete backups, physically moved my /home disk from the CentOS 7 M6700 to the CentOS 8 M6700. /home is on a LUKS LVM lv; got all the mount options and encryption options setup to start on boot. All of that now works, even though it took a bit of wrangling (if the filesystem mount is set to start up at boot without the nofail option BUT the encryption option is left at the User Default setting, it will not work!). Did a complete SELinux relabel (touch /.autorelabel and reboot). Moved the default GNOME config dirs over to the old /home; don't want a lot of cruft left over from the C7 install (which has been upgraded over the years from C6, Fedora 14, and earlier, and it was time to get rid of some cruft, I'm sure). After booting back up with the old /home in place, verified the GNOME extensions settings I had set up after the new install. All looks good, and working like it's supposed to so far. 3.) Moved over the Win10 and Win7 virtual machines, all of that works fine. 4.) Started installing my everyday programs, beginning with Harrison Mixbus. The program put its menu entry in place; all good. However, when I go to double click on the .desktop shortcut, it opens in gedit. Hmm, this ain't quite right. This worked fine on C7 in GNOME Standard mode. So, at this point, the Mixbus_6.0.702.desktop file is on my desktop, it's in ~/Desktop with executable permissions and is owned by the correct user, but right-clicking on it does not bring up the choice to 'Allow Launching.' The GNOME Extension 'Desktop Icons' is installed and is active. I've tried a whole lot of suggestions, but wanted to see if anyone here had seen this before and has solved the problem to allow launching of the .desktop file as it is supposed to do. Just knowing that 'it works for you' actually is helpful, especially if we can figure out what is different from my install to yours (SELinux context, permissions, etc). Just knowing where to look would be helpful; and I'm going to diff my old GNOME config from my /home backup to the fresh as-installed config.... gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-3.32.1-10.el8.noarch is installed.
