Today's Topics: 1. Announcing the latest release of CentOS Linux 8 (2111) (Johnny Hughes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2021 07:25:23 -0600 From: Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> To: CentOS-Announce <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Announcing the latest release of CentOS Linux 8 (2111) Message-ID: <a35146e4-da15-dd15-4aad-46230922ba14(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Release for CentOS Linux 8 (2111) We are pleased to announce the general availability of the latest version of CentOS Linux 8. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 8 and is tagged as 2111, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 Source Code. **PLEASE NOTE:** CentOS Linux 8 will EOL on 31 December 2021. We will handle the EOL as directed by the CentOS Project Board of Directors and detailed here: https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/ As always, read through the Release Notes at: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.2111 <http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.2105> - these notes contain important information about the release and details about some of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from users. Remember, you should not be using CentOS Linux 8 in production or you should have a plan to migrate to a different Operating System before 31 December 2021. We will only be doing updates as detailed in the above EOL link. ---------- Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos Updates released since the upstream release are all posted, across all architectures. We strongly recommend every user apply all updates, including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 8 machine by just running 'dnf update'. As with all CentOS Linux 8 components, this release was built from sources hosted at git.centos.org. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync command available in the yum/dnf-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at: http://wiki.centos.org/Sources Debuginfo packages have been signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install. This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS Linux 8, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to handle stale content is included in the Release Notes. Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same applications are trim'd off from repos like extras/ and centosplus/ ---------- Download We produced the following installer images for CentOS Linux 8 # CentOS-8.5.2111-x86_64-boot.iso: 827326464 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.5.2111-x86_64-boot.iso) = 9602c69c52d93f51295c0199af395ca0edbe35e36506e32b8e749ce6c8f5b60a # CentOS-8.5.2111-x86_64-dvd1.iso: 10794041344 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.5.2111-x86_64-dvd1.iso) = 3b795863001461d4f670b0dedd02d25296b6d64683faceb8f2b60c53ac5ebb3e # CentOS-8.5.2111-ppc64le-boot.iso: 789970944 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.5.2111-ppc64le-boot.iso) = 1aab48198031ce8ea2fed9341fb9d28a5846bb1e25f0ffd480111a006fcdf374 # CentOS-8.5.2111-ppc64le-dvd1.iso: 9282007040 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.5.2111-ppc64le-dvd1.iso) = 11998564c8f5d18b765c7eace6c02e5891417388ba379cec0ce360af7cea7c7c # CentOS-8.5.2111-aarch64-boot.iso: 745474048 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.5.2111-aarch64-boot.iso) = ea75b9ab34f8fd636f8c32d5d7b56ede9c6a3b721cdf3057a15ab8927b996c60 # CentOS-8.5.2111-aarch64-dvd1.iso: 8215996416 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.5.2111-aarch64-dvd1.iso) = 146e58624ef3b8842fc9576d9c5b9c046497601b1a0636f934484b0b1929ce21 Information for the torrent files and sums are available at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/isos/ ---------- Getting Help The CentOS ecosystem is sustained by community driven help and guidance. The best place to start for new users is at http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp We are also on social media, you can find the project: on Twitter at :http://twitter.com/CentOS on Facebook at :https://www.facebook.com/groups/centosproject/ on LinkedIn at :https://www.linkedin.com/groups/22405 And you will find the core team and a majority of the contributors on irc, on irc.libera.chat in #centos ; talking about the finer points of distribution engineering and platform enablement. ---------- Contributors This release was made possible due to the hard work of many people, foremost on that list are the Red Hat Engineers for producing a great distribution and the CentOS QA team, without them CentOS Linux would look very different. Many of the team went further and beyond expectations to bring this release to you, and I would like to thank everyone for their help. We are also looking for people to get involved with the QA process in CentOS, if you would like to join this please introduce yourself on the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel) Finally, please join me in thanking the donors who all make this possible for us. CentOS Linux 7 will be available and maintained until 2024 and CentOS Stream 8 will also be maintained until that time. Here is how CentOS Stream is different from CentOS Linux as and EOL information: https://www.centos.org/cl-vs-cs/ Here is how you can move a machine from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8: https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/ In closing, this release is very bittersweet for me. I have been involved in the CentOS Linux process and have done the vast majority of releases since the 2004. Moving forward, I will be working as hard as I can to make sure CentOS Stream is the best it can be. It has been a wild ride, thanks for the memories.

Hi all, This is crazy but I can't see the answer. In my system crontab I've added a job to stop the music system at 10:59 on the 11th November, and restart it at 11:02 on the 11th November # m h dom mon dow user command 59 10 * 11 * root /bin/squeezy -all -off >>/var/log/newplaylist 2>&1 02 11 * 11 * root /root/bin/newplaylist >/var/log/newplaylist 2>&1 However, it's doing this every day. Can anyone see what's wrong?

I've been using Oracle Linux in production for several years, ever since 6.8 came out -- it was easier at my job (US Air Force contractor). I never had problems with an installation, I was never asked any annoying questions when downloading the ISO, and I'm using 7.9 on my backup server at home. I might replace my home version, but only because I'm curious about other distributions, plus 7.9 would only fit on a double-sided DVD. (Yeah, I know all the cool kids use flash drives -- I'm old.)

UID/GID migration vom C6 to C8
by Thomas 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Hello. We have to migrate an old Centos 6 to Centos 8. C6 has UID/GID starting at number 500. I the Users should possibily keep the existing UID/GID as on the old system. I changed on the Centos 8 system, in /etc/login.defs, the lines UID_MIN/SYS_UID_MAX and GID_MIN/SYS_GID_MAX: # # Min/max values for automatic uid selection in useradd # UID_MIN 500 UID_MAX 60000 # System accounts SYS_UID_MIN 201 SYS_UID_MAX 499 # # Min/max values for automatic gid selection in groupadd # GID_MIN 500 GID_MAX 60000 # System accounts SYS_GID_MIN 201 SYS_GID_MAX 499 and extracted all users and groups with UID/GID greater than 499 from the old system and inserted in the corresponding files (passwd/groups/shadows) on the new system. So wanted to ask if this is a valid thing to do? Especially regarding security of the new system. Can it create problems in the future (updates etc.)? It is a simple LAMP server. Thanks, Thomas

CentOS 9-stream modules?
by Chris Adams 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

I started looking at 9-stream a bit... and I notice there are no package modules. All the things that were modules in 8/8-stream appear to have been folded back into the base OS, with no variants included (like different versions of MariaDB and php for example). Is this expected to be the way forward, or are modules just still to be filled out? -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

RADVd and DHCPv6?
by Walter H. 14 Nov '21

14 Nov '21

Hello, these are my settings in radvd.conf interface br0 { AdvSendAdvert on; AdvManagedFlag on; AdvOtherConfigFlag on; MinRtrAdvInterval 5; MaxRtrAdvInterval 15; route fe80::1/64 { AdvRouteLifetime infinity; AdvRoutePreference high; }; }; in general I use stateful DHCPv6 (AdvManagedFlag on), but is there a way to have some devices (Android) get their IPv6 by SLAAC? Thanks, Walter

Gnome unlocks all desktop sessions
by Pete Huckelba 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

All, I am trying to figure out the logic of why Gnome is unlocking all of my desktop sessions. In my office I am logged into a CentOS 7 Gnome desktop, X :0. I then lock the screen and go home. Once home, I log into my work computer and start a new vncserver on :1. If I lock and then unlock :1, ALL desktop sessions are unlocked, including :0. This can be observed with a laptop and watching :0 unlock when unlocking VNC session :1, or by launching multiple VNC servers. In one test I created vnc sessions on :1, :2, :3, :4, I connected to each and locked each desktop. I then unlocked one session and noticed all sessions unlocked at the same time. While the unlocking of VNC :1-:4 is quirky, at least it is still protected by the authentication provided by VNC; the unlocking of :0 is the trouble. Can anyone provide clarity or a work around to this? -Pete tigervnc-server.x86_64 1.8.0-22.el7

Firewall question
by Jerry Geis 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Hi - When updating my CentOS 7 - firewalld why does the virt-manager loose connections to all GUI's ? I just close the virt-manager main window - select the virt-manager from gnome side panel and re-run - and then they all come back after you click on them - but why is the connection to the GUI lost ? Can I prevent that somehow ? Thanks, Jerry
