centos7+lightdm : no /almost no login screen
by johan.vermeulen7＠telenet.be 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

Hello All, slightly unrelated because lightdm = epel, I know. Still, maybe someone had the same issue. When using the last two kernels, some machines give me trouble when installing Centos7 and Mate One machine is basically an Asrock board, on this I get no login screen: description: Motherboard product: AD2550B-ITX vendor: ASRock *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 0b width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz Dell Optiplex 960 workstations: scrambled login screen description: Desktop Computer product: OptiPlex 960 vendor: Dell Inc. width: 64 bits *- display:0 description: VGA compatible controller product: 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 03 width: 64 bits up until kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 I had nog issues.

SOT: Can Fedora be installed from Live images?
by reynierpm＠gmail.com 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

Maybe world has changed I am not aware and I am still the old fashion way where I download a DVD image and install from there like in CentOS but has Fedora changed something? I mean I am trying to find the proper image for download it put on USB flash memory and install on my PC but all that I can find are "live images" so what happen here? Did I miss something? Can any put me on the right path? Thx in advance *Reynier Perez Mira* Phone: (786) 5807572 EMail: reynierpm(a)gmail.com

Monthly spins torrents ??
by Alice Wonder 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

http://buildlogs.centos.org/monthly/7/ A very useful resource. Updates takes less time after install. Just curious if there are torrents for them? I could commit to running a single seed for the x86_64 "everything" ISO. I dd them onto USB sticks for people (personally recommend the 16GB Mushkin Atom - even when installing from USB2 the media verification is faster than any other USB thumb drive I've tried) so I download latest fairly often anyway, may as well share the torrent if there is one.

Fwd: dm-cache not caching data on 3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64
by Thanos Makatos 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

(I've already sent this to centos-devel almost a week ago but didn't get any reply.) I'm evaluating dm-cache on kernels 3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64 (Xen 4) and 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.x86_64 (KVM). The test I do is a simple sequential read using dd(1). read_promote_adjustment and sequential_threshold have been set to 1 and 0, respectively. For the 2.6.32 kernel, all seems to be working fine, "#usedcacheblocks" correctly reflects the number of cached blocks based on what I'm reading with dd(1) performance is pretty much native SSD performance. However, the same test on the 3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64 kernel results in "#usedcacheblocks" being stuck to "2" and no performance improvement is observed. Any ideas what could be wrong? How can I further debug this? -- Thanos Makatos

IPv6 on CentOS-6 - IPTables
by James B. Byrne 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

It appears likely that within the next two quarters we will be moving off of our IPv4 class C's and onto a single IPv6 /40 for our sites. We have a fairly complex IPTables setup which handles our gateways and internal hosts. My question is just how much effort is involved in moving these rules from IPv4 to IPv6? Are there elements in one that are not available in the other? Are there any fundamental incompatibilites? Does anyone have a good reference to a case history of moving from one to the other?

CentOS 7, ctrl-alt-bksp
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

I've been googling, and looking at the CentOS wiki - which, btw, when I do a full search on "control-alt-backspace", gives me three pages... in Japanese, I think. How do I re-enable userspace restart X? mark

Strange behaviour of iptables in centos 7
by anax 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

Hi strange behaviour of iptables on a centos 7.0 machine: The following rule is in the iptables of said machine: [root@myserver ~]# iptables -L -v -n --line-numbers |grep 175\. 9 9 456 DROP all -- * * 175.44.0.0/16 0.0.0.0/0 [root@myserver ~]# The corresponding enty in /etc/sysconfig/iptables looks like: [root@myserver ~]# grep 175 /etc/sysconfig/iptables -A INPUT -s 175.44.0.0/16 -j DROP [root@myserver ~]# The rule must be there since ages, because it has number 9 out of 76 similar rules. Today, on the same machine (I rechecked it to make sure not to confound machines), I see the following extract of the ftplog: <snip> 175.44.4.127 2915 175.44.26.128 2021 175.44.26.138 1322 175.44.6.186 1290 175.44.24.88 1219 175.44.4.199 1212 </snip> saying that from this IP addresse there have been this many connections to the ftp server on that machine during the last two days, which means that the iptables haven't dropped the connection to the machine. As far as I know, the ftp server is behind the iptables. I also checked to see in man iptables, wheather the IP address is represented correctly. What im I missing? thanks in advance suomi

Keep the politics out, please?
by Benjamin Smith 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

With this post, I run the risk of causing more of the thing that I speak against. I still think it's important to say it. CentOS mailing list is a technical forum. It is not a political forum. Just reading a thread on bitcoins and the entire thread quickly turned into a political thread with people bitching about everything from Chase Bank to the Russians, and that's just crap. Wildly inappropriate. If you don't like Bitcoins, you should just not reply because you aren't going to use the Bitcoin software. This is a forum to discuss CentOS and issue about CentOS, using CentOS, building desirable software on CentOS, and the like. If you want to bitch about Chase bank, go to Reddit.com/r/politics or something where you can weigh in your heartfelt opinions in a forum where you don't just piss off everybody else there. Ben

OpenSSL Update - not a security update???
by Anthony K 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

This command output is odd: yum update --security ... No packages needed for security; 118 packages available However, this command says there's an OpenSSL update: yum update openssl ... ---> Package openssl-libs.x86_64 1:1.0.1e-51.el7_2.2 will be updated ---> Package openssl-libs.x86_64 1:1.0.1e-51.el7_2.4 will be an update Why does yum not consider this CESA a security update? Perplexed, ak.
