grub2-mkconfig with custom kernel
by Jerry Geis 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi - I am running CentOS 7 I tried to add a custom initrd and custom vmlinux when I run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg the custom files are not listed . when I reboot my entry for /etc/grub.d/40_custom is not listed either. How do I get grub2-mkconfig to recognize my entries ? Is grub2-mkconfig only looking at installed kernels - How do I get it to see mine? Thanks Jerry

Amazon Alexa on CentOS 7 - how?
by Frank Bures 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, I am looking for an app for CentOS that would enable me to control my Alexa compatible devices from my KDE desktop. Currently, I have to use an iPad for that. I found an app called Alexa installable via snap, but it had not been updated since 2017 and I could not find any detailed info about it. Is there an app out there that would allow me to do this? Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>

Samba setup
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage 31 Jan '21

I'm following https://www.linuxbabe.com/redhat/set-up-samba-server-on-centos-8-rhel-8-for… to set up Samba 4.12.3-12 on my Storinator fileserver running CentOS 8.3. I am trying to share out /tank/Windows/ as a Samba share: # ls -al /tank total 61 drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 7 Dec 26 10:43 Backups drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 6 Dec 4 22:47 Repos drwxrwxrwx. 2 doc doc 4 Dec 28 14:01 VMs drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 2 Jan 17 17:04 Windows My /etc/samba/smb.conf file is set up as follows: # testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions # Global parameters [global] printcap name = cups security = USER idmap config * : backend = tdb cups options = raw hosts allow = 192.168.0 ... [public] comment = public share, no need to enter username and password guest ok = Yes path = /tank/Windows read only = No When I try to map network drive from my Windows 10 PC using the graphical File Explorer, it asks me for my username and password. It doesn't accept my password. When I try to map it at the CMD cli, I get: C:\> net use S: \\192.168.1.20\public\ System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found. Could this be a network browsing problem in Samba? What have I missed? --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL

Telegram on CentOS 7
by H 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Is anyone running Telegram on CentOS 7? I see that it seems to be available as a snap and also in the getpagespeed repository. I try to avoid snap apps but am not familiar with the latter repository. Does anyone have experience with either source for the program?

CentOS 6 fix sudo CVE-2021-3156
by Gionatan Danti 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

Hi all, do you know if a fix for sudo CVE-2021-3156 is available for CentOS 6? While CentOS 6 is now supported anymore, RedHat has it under its payedsupport agreement (see: https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/RHSB-2021-002) So I wonder if some community-packaged patch exists... Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8
