Yum-cron
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 11 May '18

11 May '18

Ok, I've just had issues this morning, and went and *looked*. I can see a yum-cron running monthly, sure. Running weekly, I guess. Running daily? Why? And there is *NO* reason whatever for a "yum-hourly*. None. This is CentOS, not ubuntu-snapshot-of-the-moment. I don't know if this is from upstream or not, but it's wrong. I mean, even Redmond only pushes out patches once or twice a month, except for critical fixes.,,,.

Centos7 update: epel no route to host
by johan.vermeulen7＠telenet.be 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hello All, I' have a laptop who's not booting to graphical screen today. Actualy I had several the last few days, related to cr repo. This one won't update, EM: updates | 3.4 kB 00:00:00 epel/x86_64/updateinfo FAILED https://mirror.ynet.sk/epel/7/x86_64/repodata/3ada5bcbccaa9772074a773b15bd0…: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Failed connect to mirror.ynet.sk:443; No route to host" I reinstalled epel-release package, same issue remains. I guess I could update without epel, but maybe this will make things worse. Any advise would be appreciated. Greetings, J

Video troubles after 7.5 upgrade using CR repo
by Nicolas Kovacs 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hi, Our desktop clients are running CentOS 7 with the Xfce desktop from EPEL. The CR repository is enabled. A few days ago I launched an update, which brought in close to 1 GB of packages. I had some weird problems on two clients. One is an old Dell Optiplex 330 with a legacy video card. [root@cybermule:/] # lspci | grep -i vga 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200/1100] After the update, X wouldn't start anymore, and there was no way to make it behave. I had to reinstall everything and disable the CR repo (or more precisely not enable it in the first place). After this, things went back to normal. On another desktop client, a more recent Dell Optiplex 780, this is what the video card looks like. [root@littlesister:/] # lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) On this machine I have some weird screen artefacts. When opening a window - any window - there is a sort of a black flash. Meaning the window is a black square, and then the content appears. Plus, on LibreOffice, when doing things like modifying tabs in a document, the tab lines are persistent all over the screen. Very ugly, and the secretary complains about not being able to work correctly. Any idea what's happening here? Until now, CentOS 7 never gave me this sort of headaches.

Re: [CentOS] OT: hardware: sanitizing a dead SSD?
by Sean 10 May '18

Probably too late for consideration at this point, but there are Enterprise Class SSDs available with DoD/NSA certified/approved self encryption capability. The concept is that encryption is a hardware feature of the drive, when you want to dispose of it, you throw away the key. This allows vendors to receive broken drives back from GOV/MIL clients securely so that failure methods can be researched. Dell and EMC have been presenting this to us at storage briefs for a couple of years now. --Sean On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 8:00 AM <centos-request(a)centos.org> wrote: > From: m.roth(a)5-cent.us > To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 11:35:21 -0400 > Subject: Re: [CentOS] OT: hardware: sanitizing a dead SSD? > James Szinger wrote: > > Disclaimer: My $dayjob is with a government contractor, but I am speaking > > as private citizen. > > > > Talk to your organization's computer security people.

charset="utf-8" I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1804) for armhfp compatible machines. This is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1804, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 == Download You can download new images for armhfp boards on http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/ Images and sha256sums : CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-GNOME-1804-sda.raw.xz 16ff588e04fae393671da6cc1336088201f5c633d66e519345eaf4b60e2818c3 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-KDE-1804-sda.raw.xz 950340fd8aec24651788897382f76d360c19a7f83c08dc9390637880413690f7 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.xz 1a9823b3148285a8aa8f07f49c23b4e6299aaa1f225d15334501687fb9c44398 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-GNOME-1804-sda.raw.xz 23c3ec15d72e7b1934fa63ae1a7c8f4071f952c2d2c07da39c625e2559b86ccf CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-KDE-1804-sda.raw.xz f9ed70539ad4579a7ae7bbad777e4a2614ad9df13bfb577ac2de0c72dee9e7c1 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.x 962264b4387a10cfd058b12b7ed1490fd3f65c9276c10a37c6746ffaabcc83f2 == What's new (specific to armhfp) As before, CentOS 7 userland for armhfp is still built from the CentOS 7 distribution, with some modified, added (or removed) packages. Here are some highlights for the 7.5.1804 release : - Kernel (for both rpi2/3 and generic boards) was bumped to 4.14.x (LTS version) to also follow the i386 AltArch kernel. - uboot images were updated to version 2018.03 to support more boards - we have now variants other than "minimal" (so GNOME and KDE) - selinux is working in enforcing mode and not in permissive mode by default so there is no need anymore to relabel filesystem and reboot) We have also changed the way we built the armhfp images, so please consider reading the dedicated wiki page to understand which steps are now mandatory to ensure that your armhfp will boot correctly (basically setting up uboot) More informations/details on the dedicated wiki page : https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp == Getting help If you are searching for help, or would like to help the CentOS altarch/armhfp ecosystem, feel free to subscribe to the CentOS arm-dev list (https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev) or chat with us in #centos-arm on irc.freenode.net == Special thank you message I'd like to say thank you to Pablo Greco, who helped a lot for this release, with all the hard work he did during the CentOS 7.4.1708 days to catch up with all the packages that weren't able to build, work that permits now to have a armhfp release set as close as possible with the upstream x86_64 one.

Replacement for Pdftk under CentOS 7 ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hi, Two weeks ago I migrated all our local school's servers and clients from Slackware 14.1 to CentOS 7. Everything went perfectly, and now I'm busy sanding down some edges. The previous installation sported pdftk and a frontend (can't remember the name) which allowed some basic operations on PDF files such as splitting and concatenation. The school's staff used this application all the time. Unfortunately it's not available under CentOS 7. Can you suggest any replacement for this application? On a side note, it should be something with a point-and-click GUI. Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'église - 30730 Montpezat Site : https://www.microlinux.fr Blog : https://blog.microlinux.fr Mail : info(a)microlinux.fr Tél. : 04 66 63 10 32

OT: hardware: sanitizing a dead SSD?

Anyone have any clues about how to sanitize a dead SSD? We haven't had it yet, but we're sure it's coming. Esp. since I'm a federal contractor, a dead disk gets deGaussed, but what the hell do you do with a SSD?

CentOS 7.5

Hi All - Just checking on "expected" 7.5 release - I'm guessing its very close. On a side note... I played with CR enabled it and did the update, my /etc/redhat-release still says the old 7.4... I was thinking it would say something different for CR. Anyway looking forward to 7.5! Thanks, Jerry
