OT Hardware Forum
by Mark LaPierre 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hey Y'all, Is there a forum where I can discuss hardware and CentOS 7? I'm considering building a new desktop system specifically designed for CentOS 7 and the Folding At Home project. This mail list seams to be oriented toward CentOS software issues not hardware discussions. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

by m.roth＠5-cent.us 15 May '18

Hi, folks, I've got managers on me, I'm rebuilding this system as C 7... and I'm getting the above. No idea. It pings, but pointing a browser to there gives me "invalid release". Anyone else having trouble? mark

Issue with private mirror
by Eric Germann 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster. I have a situation that has been confounding me for the better part of a week. I run an internal mirror of a Centos mirror, mainly because I have lots of hosts and low bandwidth. For my 7.x hosts, since 7.5.1804 was released, when I do a “yum update”, I get the following errors on a number of files. "Package does not match intended download. Suggestion: run yum --enablerepo=base clean metadata” I’ve done that. I’ve done “yum clean all”. I’ve done “yum clean all && rm -rf /var/cacheyum” I’ve blown away the 7.5.1804 tree in my mirror and resync’d it and it still does it. If I change the 7 -> 7.5.1804 symlink to 7.4, yum update runs fine. I’m confounded. How can I check the repo data files on my copy against the tree to see where or if it’s blowing up. Oddly, if I point the host I’m updating at the SAME server I’m mirroring from and do a yum update, it works fine. Using rsync to update. Out of Ideas, EKG

CentOS 7.5 and GPU memory
by Jerry Geis 15 May '18

15 May '18

Is there a way to "control" how much GPU memory the OS uses ? Back on CentOS 7.4 it "seemed" to use less. I want / need to tell 7.5 to use less.\ or no GPU memory. I have a video application that needs more of the GPU memory and not so much the OS taking that memory. How do I do that? Thanks, Jerry

Squid and log files
by Nicolas Kovacs 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hi, I have Squid running on several CentOS proxy servers. Here's what the Squid log file directory looks like on my own server: access.log access.log-20180311.gz access.log-20180319.gz access.log-20180429.gz access.log-20180506.gz access.log-20180514.gz cache.log cache.log-20180416.gz cache.log-20180422.gz cache.log-20180430.gz cache.log-20180506.gz cache.log-20180514.gz squidGuard.log I don't know if the compressed and archived *.gz log files are supposed to be erased some time. Anyway, I'd like to make sure they are kept at least for one full year. Where is this defined ?

Save the date: CERN Dojo, October 19th, 2018
by Rich Bowen 14 May '18

14 May '18

On October 19th, 2018, we will once again be hosting a CentOS Dojo at CERN, in Meyrin, Switzerland[1]. This will be a full day of CentOS presentations, drawn both from CERN and from the broader CentOS community. The call for papers is now open[2]. We're looking for talks about anything CentOS related, but we're particularly interested in: * OpenStack, and other cloud platforms * Ceph, and other software defined storage solutions * Configuration management tools * HPC, and other aspects of research computing CERN[3] is one of the best-known research facilities on the planet, and the home of the Large Hadron Collider. CentOS Dojos[4] are the best place to meet other members of the CentOS community, and the various communities - such as OpenStack and Ceph - that have a large overlap with CentOS.

kickstart leavebootorder
by Stijn De Weirdt 14 May '18

14 May '18

hi all, we have hosts that we want to pxeboot first, always. with uefi, anaconda/kickstart always set the freshly installed disk as first bootdevice and there seems to be no way to disable this behaviour. the rhel7 docs describe a "leavebootorder" option (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht…) but it doesn't "leave [the] boot order", it still (as described in the doc) puts the new one on top. it leaves other existing boot entries alone, in same order; but inserting a new entry on top effectively changes the order, not sure what they were smoking when they came up that option name.... does anyone have any tips/tricks to keep hosts booting with pxe first (besides parsing efibootmgr output and modifying the bootorder after an install). thanks, stijn

Centos 7.5 and Courier 10 Pitch fonts in Libreoffice
by Gregory P. Ennis 14 May '18

14 May '18

Everyone, With the update to Centos 7.5 it is apparent that we lost the Courier 10 Pitch fonts that were in "xorg-x11-fonts-Type1". Does anyone know how to get this back. Greg Ennis

Private repository and upgrade to Centos 7.5 (Kernel / GStreamer / Mesa)
by Andreas Benzler 12 May '18

12 May '18

Hello Everyone, long time ago I wrote my last mail about my personal repository. The Upgrade went most smoostly. Only need to recompile mesa (enable by wayland ) and qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.2-1.el7.centos.src.rpm (missing by epel) nextcloud-client-2.3.3-1.el7.centos.src.rpm My current software Setup: - kernel 4.16.8 (elrepo with some amd switches) - updated graphic driver stack libdrm / libva 2.1/ amd & intel & nvidia (opensource driver) - gstreamer 10.5 & ffmpeg 2.8.14 - media with vlc 2.2.8 (vlc 3 & ffmpeg3 needs newer compiler) - mesa 18.0.3 / llvm 6.0 Moved from gnome to Xfwm4 for smoother workflow. Wayland is untested here. My WineHQ must be recompiled, that's all is left todo for now. I know some of my repo packages are not wayland enabled, but not needed this time. Totem is mostly unusable this time since mesa 18.0. Got same problem with Arch Linux. In fact nothing todo with my software stack. Got vlc by the way. Everything can be found at: http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/ While everything is my private playground and not a official repsitory the packages are "hand made" and unsigned. What's the benefit of this? Everything working as a normal Workstation on a server stack software. Tested also the last tombraider from steam....nice gameplay.. The last 2 years nothing breaks realy, when I starded my project: Centos Multimedia enabled. Still the same drive/installation with the vodoo software testdrive. No distribution drives that long in the past. Sincerely Andy

Re: [CentOS] [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1804) on x86_64 aarch64 i386 ppc64 ppc64le

I’ve checked about a dozen of the mirrors, and see no *.torrent files yet. Any idea how long they’ll take to appear? I ask because we’re building a system today, so if it’s going to be more than a few hours, I’ll grab the ISO file directly, but otherwise, I’d prefer to spread the load. > As always, read through the Release Notes at : > http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 The “RHEL” link here still points to the 7.4 release notes: https://wiki.centos.org/Download
