Finding lshw and flash-plugin or alternates
by david 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Dear CentOS Gurus I have been using "repoforge.org" primarily to obtain two RPMs, "lshw" and "flash-plugin". I recently realized that "repoforge.org" should not be used, as it has had no updates for a long long time. But, when I search for the RPMs within the repos: base centosplus contrib epel extras updates the lshw program is nowhere to be found. I value its ability to inventory the hardware, and construct an attractive HTML page. So, for each of these two programs, - is there a repo I can add that would cover what I need - is there an alternate program in the case of lshw This applies no only to Centos 6 (32 & 64), but also Centos 7.

Sometimes the fingers on the keyboard outpace the brain. "DUH" :-) David

Folks An earlier post concerning 'lshw' has been resolved. It exists in 'base' for el6(32), el6(64), el7(64) and armv5tel (rpi2). So, I will repeat the original request with lshw concerns removed. I have been using "repoforge.org" primarily to obtain RPMS for "flash-plugin". I recently realized that "repoforge.org" should not be used, as it has had no updates for a long long time. But, when I search for the RPMs within the repos: base centosplus contrib epel extras updates So, is there a repo I can add that would cover what I need This applies not only to Centos 6 (32 & 64), but also Centos 7 and maybe armv5tel (rpi2/3).

NetworkManager and Half DHCP not work correct - second time.
by Andreas Benzler 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Hello Guys, today i strungle in my office and at home. 1. The networkadapter works before on "full" dhcp. 2. change to half (means searchname and searchserver manual) 3. order was correct inside the config, but in seperated network configs: PEERDNS=yes ????? 5. DNS Server where in wrong direction in the consol. 4. I changed the PEERDNS entry at home manually. Reboot. Everything works as expected, nameserver in right order (NEW, OLD, OLD2). At my office i deleted every adapter and rearrange it. Strange, but true. Sincerely Andy PS: Don't tell me disable NetworkManager. I know both work out. :-)

Re: [CentOS] Nvidia related kernel panic on boot, *unless* the keyboard is tapped

Perhaps even related to this issue: https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=693 which kmod-nvidia do you have? At the bottom of 693, pperry indicates: "kmod-nvidia-367.57-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64 is for EL7.3". Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer. I do not have authority to make or modify the terms of any contract.

Xen-4.4 branch End of Life
by Johnny Hughes 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

The CentOS VIrtualization Special Interest Group wants to remind everyone that the End of Life for the Xen-4.4 branch (currently 4.4.4-19) will be March 31st, 2017. This is because the Xen Project will no longer support Xen-4.4 after that date, based on this link: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features Xen-4.6 is still available and will be maintained until October 2018 (on both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7) and Xen-4.8 will be available soon. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Nvidia related kernel panic on boot, *unless* the keyboard is tapped
by Duncan Brown 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

So here is an odd one Ever since the upgrade to 7.3, when using the el-repo kmod-nvidia, boot hangs around the 'mounted /boot' point. If left it then kernel panics However at that point, tapping the keyboard gets it going again. As I'm using a wireless keyboard, even the act of switching the keyboard on gets it going again This doesn't happen without the kmod, and I'm in the process of capturing the panic to file the bug report with el-repo, but for the sake of conversation has anyone seen anything like this before, or have any idea why that could happen? cheers Dunc

Systemd debug logging turned on in CentOS 7
by Thomas Eriksson 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hi, I noticed that some, but not all, of my CentOS 7 machines have these kernel parameters for turning on systemd debug level logging added to the grub.cfg file. systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg The parameters are *not* in the /etc/default/grub file, so if I rebuild grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig, they disappear. I am a bit puzzled over how they got introduced. Has anyone else seen this? thanks, Thomas

sshd Match Group directive problem
by Bernard Fay 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

I try to set up two "Match Group" directives in sshd_config. I have an LDAP server. All users including admins are part of the LDAP group users. The admins users are also part of the LDAP group wheel. For example: [~]groups admin1 admin1 : users wheel [~]groups users user1 : users On a client server to LDAP, I try to configure two "Match Group" directives in sshd_config as follows: Match Group wheel some keywords... Match Group users some keywords... The problem is that even if a user is a member of LDAP group wheel, the "Match Group wheel" directive is skipped in favor of the "Match Group users" directive. Is it possible to have two "Match Group" directives as I like to do it? If yes, what is wrong in my configuration? Thanks,

Checksums for git repo content?
by Leonard den Ottolander 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hi all, Since the vault for 7.3.1611 has been cleared out last sunday (20170207) - why is that? - I'm using git to download a "SRPM", or more accurately, its contents. However, using git has one major drawback: It is missing checksums for the files. Are there any plans to provide checksums for the files in git so I can be sure that what I download is actually not tampered with? SRPMS are signed so we can be sure there content is what you provided. Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
