upgrade or install to Centos 7.4.1708
by Pete Geenhuizen 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

I upgraded from 7.3 to 7.4 over the weekend. Everything went well except that I can't login because the screen is black with a cursor. If reboot boot the 7.3 kernel 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 kernel everything works just fine, so my guess is that there's a kernel issue with the hardware, specifically the Skylake processor. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so can how I resolve the problem other than using the previous kernel? ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z170M-PLUS VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06) Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz Skylake Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [CentOS] vmplayer for linux 12.5.7 on CentOS 7.4 (Jerry Geis)

The answer is to recompile the source tarball with a patch which appeared at: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2686431?tstart=0#2686431 generously provided by https://communities.vmware.com/people/dariusd . Tried it and it works swimmingly.

Hi, how do I allow lighttpd access to a directory like this: dr-xrwxr-x. lighttpd example unconfined_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 files_articles I tried to create and install a selinux module, and it didn´t work. The non-working module can not be removed, either: semodule -r lighttpd-files_articles.pp libsemanage.semanage_direct_remove_key: Unable to remove module lighttpd-files_articles.pp at priority 400. (No such file or directory). semodule: Failed! Currently, only read access is required.

Being like this, selinux is entirely unmanagable. Does it even do any more good than it keeps getting in the way?

[Slightly OT] Use CentOS to create a bootable Mac OS X DVD from dmg file?
by Nicolas Kovacs 24 Sep '17

24 Sep '17

Hi, Sorry if this is only half-CentOS-related. In my office, I'm running CentOS on all my systems (server, workstation, laptop, sandbox PCs). A colleague brought me her MacBook Pro to upgrade it from OS X 10.5.7 to 10.11.6. I downloaded the 5.8 GB dmg file and now I wonder how to create a bootable DVD with this using only Linux tools. 1. Can I simply burn this as a data DVD with K3B? 2. Or do I have to jump through burning loops using dmg2img, mount -t hfsplus, etc. I only have a couple of double layer DVDs here, so before burning a pair of expensive coasters, I thought I'd rather ask here.

Connecting to internet with USB tethered iphone
by Larry Martell 24 Sep '17

24 Sep '17

I am trying to get a centos 6 system on the internet with a tethered iPhone. I can see the phone with lsusb as bus 001 device 011. A post on stackoverflow said I would need to run "# ip link set usb0 up && dhcpcd usb0" But how do I reference my phone in that command?

vmplayer for linux 12.5.7 on CentOS 7.4
by Jerry Geis 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

So after the update to CentOS 7.4 vmplayer 12.5.7 is no longer working. I can't believe after all the time that RHEL 7.4 has been released and VMware has not fixed the issue and made a new release. What is everyone doing that used the vmplayer on linux? Thanks, Jerry

Error "corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing" in CentOS 7 clean install
by C. L. Martinez 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Hi all, I have installed two new CentOS 7.1708 (fully patched, kernel release is 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64) as virtual guests, one is using lvm and the other not and both use XFS as filesystem. In both, I see the following systemd's error after a few minutes: systemd-journald[779]: File /run/log/journal/3abe0470ce564669b797cb4c416f1ac0/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. Is it a bug? Or do I need to change some option in journald.conf's file? Actually, I have changed Storage's option to "volatile". Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L. Martinez

owncloud on CentOS - I have problems installing/updating recently
by Valeri Galtsev 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Dear Experts, after quite some time of praising ownclowd, I started having problems with installing and updating desktop owncloud-client on CentOS. Namely, yum repository owncloud.org points to for rpm/yum based Linux distributions lives on suse.com site (well, for all flavors of Linux, actually). I remember it smelled fishy for me the first time I installed ownclouud on CentOS using that repository living at suse.com. It worked, however, for quite some time, but recently it just times out for me, even what owncloud.org currently gives as yum.repo information (which has changed from what was in the past). Does anybody have any suggestion? Am I the only one (thus, making my "pilot error"), or others have the same? Did someone find workaround? Incidentally, another system - FreeBSD - I run on my laptop and workstation, has no trouble with owncloudclient package. But I have to give graduate students Linux, and prefer CentOS Linux, so I do need to make it work even if I end up compiling it all the time myself (sigh, I hope, not). Thanks a lot in advance for all your help!
