I do not love thee, kernel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

I've been having a lot of issues with video, for example. However, this one... I have a user with a Dell R730. I install kernel and kernel devel, and the rest of the full update, and rebooted. Nope. 100% kernel panic, right around the time it switches root. I even rebuilt the initramfs, nope. And speaking of kernel panics, has *anyone* ever considered that all the data dumped to the console during one results in NOT BEING ABLE TO READ ANYTHING BUT THE LAST 24 or less, mostly less, lines? mark, frustrated, removed that kernel

Flame war police
by Andrew Holway 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

Hiya everyone, Is there a way to disable a thread that has degenerated into flaming? The recent "discussion" on /var/run descended into some quite nasty places and perhaps a lid should have been put on it. This seems to happen every few weeks and is somewhat embarrassing when I'm trying to persuade people of the "active and friendly Centos community" It was a shame that no one actually read past the belligerence his original post enough to come up with a solution. It was quite clearly a problem with third party packages not coming with SELinux policies. Cheers, Andrew

Location of grub.conf etc. with UEFI boot (CentOS 6)
by Toralf Lund 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

Hi, What's the proper/normal way of setting up GRUB for a CentOS 6 installation that boots using UEFI? I've recently set up such a system, but for technical reasons I mentioned in an earlier post, I booted in "legacy" mode during installation, which meant I didn't get the correct UEFI boot configuration, and had to set it up subsequently "by hand". I've managed to get the system to start up, but I had to place grub.conf under "/EFI/redhat/" on the EFI partition; without it, the system only boots into the grub shell. Is this normal, or is GRUB supposed to be able to find grub.conf under /boot? If not, how are updates on kernel upgrade etc. supposed to get done? Do I need a symlink from /boot/grub/grub.conf to the EFI parition? And will grub-install help with some of this? I haven't dared to try it, as I'm afraid it may break everything because it assumes an "MBR" configuration, or something. Also, how is /boot supposed to be set up anyway? Will it still normally be configured as a separate partition? Yeah, I know, I could re-install in UEFI mode (as I think I know how now), but I'm hoping you will save me from the effort. I also have a workable system anyhow, but kernel upgrades could be an issue, and it's nice to know the "right" way of setting up. Thanks, -Toralf

How can I disable at-spi-bus-launcher
by Frank Cox 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

I have a laptop that hangs up on shutdown saying that at-spi-bus-launcher is still running. Since I have no use for at-spi-bus-launcher anyway, I would like to get rid of it, but attempting to remove the at-spi2-core rpm wants to remove 99% of my desktop as well. The only way that I can see to get rid of it is to make /usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher non-executable, but that's a pretty horrible hack. Can I permanently disable it without resorting to that? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

yum security update issue
by Thomas Roth 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi all, I have used http://cefs.steve-meier.de/ plus https://github.com/vmfarms/generate_updateinfo to insert some security-information into my os-updates - mirror. This seems to work, but only partially. On my 7.4 test server, > yum --security -v check-update gives me dnsmasq, nss, nss-sysinit and nss-tools as the packages to install. The nss-packages are all of "severity = Important" But there are more of this type of packages, e.g. emacs. The centos-announce mails as well as the errata of Steve Meier as well as the generated updateinfo.xml all contain "CESA-2017:2771 Important CentOS 7 emacs Security Update" Just like the mentioned nss-packages, emacs is also labeled "severity = Important". But yum doesn't like it ;-( The output of > yum --security -v check-update tells me more, of course: --> 1:emacs-24.3-20.el7_4.x86_64 from os-updates excluded (updateinfo) Neither dnsmasq nor the nss-packages are listed, in particular not as excluded -? And at the end it says > Nothing matches emacs.x86_64 1:24.3-20.el7_4 from update Btw, "yum info emacs" lists the installed and wanted emacs versions correctly. What did I miss? Regards, Thomas

Lock-up during boot when Logitech unifying receiver is connected (UEFI problem?)
by Toralf Lund 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi, I've got a bit of an issue after I switched to a new laptop for my CentOS 6.9 installation: I'm using a Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse that communicate with the system via a so-called "unifying receiver". If this unit (a small USB thingummy) is connected when I try to boot the system, it locks up completely. This happens before the GRUB screen is displayed. The set-up otherwise works just fine, i.e. I notice no ill effects of connecting the receiver once the system is up-and-running. I did not not have this problem on my old laptop, which ran a more or less identical Linux configuration (I cloned the partition.) Something that's new, though, is that I now have GPT partitions and boot using UEFI, where the old PC used traditional BIOS. I also had a hard time installing in the first place because I got similar issues when trying to boot the installer as well as "stand-alone" tools like "parted" and "clonezilla" from USB sticks, and these seemed to be restricted to GPT and UEFI, too. (I didn't realise at the time that the unifying receiver was the problem, so I ended up installing via "legacy" boot.) Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions? I can live with the problem, I guess, but having to unplug and reconnect the unit every time I boot is a bit annoying. I've tried connecting the unit to several different USB ports, with the same result. I've also searched for firmware updates, but didn't find anything. TIA, - Toralf

Small GRUB screen (menu/splash image)
by Toralf Lund 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi, After moving my CentOS 6 installation over to a new PC, the GRUB start-up screen looks a bit strange. On the old machine, the menu area and splash image would cover the entire screen, but now they occupy only a small rectangle in its centre. I think what happens is that the max resolution of the graphics card/monitor combo is enabled even at this early stage, but GRUB assumes a 640x480 display. Is there any way I can change the resolution so that the GRUB screen covers the entire display? I couldn't find anything related to this in the documentation, or when searching the web, or actually, the topic is mentioned a few places, but they all refer to GRUB 2, and CentOS 6 of course has (a patched version of) 0.97. Thanks, - Toralf

Weird bandwith behaviour (download throughput) on CentOS based gateway
by Jobst Schmalenbach 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hi. I have a company gateway that is connected to a 30/30 Fiber connection, network termination point is a MRV OS-904. It acts as a firewall/router for the DMZ/hosts/lans behind. Software: CentOS 6.9, bare minimum install, all latest patches. Hardware: Xeon CPU, Intel server MB with two Intel PRO 1000 (e1000, e1000e) network cards, adaptec RAID, 8GB RAM On the hosts/lan behind I can happily achieve 28.8 mbs - it seems it's being capped at that speed by the provider. However, on the host itself I cannot get passed 820k/s max, even if I switch off iptables and anything else that could interfere with the download/upload bandwidth. I have no idea why this is the case - It only matters when I need to "yum update" as the updates take 4 times longer than on the CentOS DMZ hosts behind it - but yes, its rather annoying! Where do I need to look? What am I missing? Jobst -- Passwords are like underwear.
