Mock config error
by me＠tdiehl.org 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hi, I am trying to create a mock configuration file that points to my local dnf repo. I have the following in the mock config template: [local-repo] name=my-Local baseurl=http://yumrepo.example.com/yum-repository/local/centos/8/x86_64/ failovermethod=priority skip_if_unavailable=False When I try to run mock I get the following error: (vgeppetto3 pts18) $ mock -v -r epel-8-x86_64 /home/mock/rpmbuild/SRPMS/centos-release-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.1.src.rpm File "<string>", line 238 baseurl=http://yumrepo.example.com/yum-repository/local/centos/8/x86_64/ ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ERROR: Error in configuration (vgeppetto3 pts18) $ I copied the url out of a yum repo file I am using that works with dnf on a centos 8 machine. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Regards, -- Tom me(a)tdiehl.org

CentOS7 page-ranges printer option seems ignored
by Josh 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

A follow up on https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2020-July/351009.html In addition to page size problems I just found out that page-ranges option is ignored. To reproduce I created a two page PDF file and printed it like lp -d printer_name -o page-ranges=1 twopage.pdf Two local printers, HP and Canon output two pages. Printers were configured using CUPS UI by selecting the appropriate USB printer, then manufacturer and then PPD from a list of models. If I move printers to a Fedora 32 system they print correctly. Upgrading CentOS7 CUPS server from 1.6.3 to latest 2.3.3 had no effect. I wonder what else needs to be updated to resolve this problem. Thank you. -- Josh

CentOS 8 kernel-4.18.0-193 shim issue
by Mark LaPierre 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Hey All, Is it safe to allow the 193 series kernel update now? Last time I tried that my system refused to boot. I had to roll back to the 4.18.0-147 kernel to get my machine to reboot. Since that happened I've been watching this mail list for acknowledgement that the problem has been corrected while refusing the kernel update. I may have missed the announcement that the issue was resolved and the the update is now approved. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

Jamulus for Centos
by Robert Moskowitz 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

Is anyone running their own Jamulus server? I have an x86_64 system running Centos7 that I can try bringing it up for my wife. So I better get it right! I have found rpms for 3.4.7.1 at: https://pkgs.org/download/Jamulus But on SourceForge I am seeing source for ver 3.5.10. In blogs I am seeing that the better client is for at least ver 3.5.1. Are there rpms available for some 3.5 version? thanks

Boot fails with lvm snapshot
by Patrick Bégou 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

Hi, I have a strange problem with my centos7 file server. I have a large data storage (75TB in RAID6, managed by lvm) and each night I create a snapshot (removing first the previous one). The snapshot is mounted read-only so if a user remove a file accidentally he can restore it in the same day. However, if this snapshot exists, reboot of the server freeze at boot time and I must manually remove this snapshot. Why ? There are no entry in /etc/fstab for this snapshot, it is a cron script that manage this snapshot and mount it. Patrick

Where can CentOS7 yum-cron logs be found?
by Gunnar Niels 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

I'm trying to setup two CentOS7 systems with automatic security updates to run as my kubernetes nodes. I've also centralized all my outgoing mail through my mailgun service, so I've been using the cli tool "mailx", which I have configured with my credentials. Coming from Fedora32 and CentOS7, dnf-automatic had a helpful emission target that was "email_command". By default it sent notifications using this command. With yum-cron, all I see is "email", which doesn't appear to use the "mail" command. I would like to set up something myself to send the daily yum activity, but it's not clear at all where I should expect the yum-cron "stdio" output to end up at. I "started" the service, which is really just creates sentincal file to allow the yum.daily cron entry to run. However, when I look at /var/log/yum, there's nothing there of interest. I can see that it claims to have run, but I have no idea what it did. Is there another place I should be looking for what this actually did? Separately, I'm looking for a way to confirm its behavior. I was able to do this on my dnf systems by downgrading a package, but if I use `yum downgrade X` on this CentOS7 system...it just reports success and does nothing. Any ideas about that one? -GN

how to run CentOS 8.2 under new WSL2?
by Dev Linux 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

I want to run CentOS 8.2 (2004) under Windows 10 Pro (2004) that comes with WSL2 1. Is there a list of steps anywhere, that would help me download what I need, and get CentOS 8.2 running under WSL2? 2. What would I need to download? (need direct URL - there are so many options for CentOS 8.2 , I am confused) 3. What steps would I need to take to get this running locally on my Windows 10 machine? Notes: ==> I don't want to run any existing CentOS available in the Windows store, I want to roll my own ==> I don't want to run CentOS 8.2 under VirtualBox or any other virtualization technology, just WSL2 ==> I don't want to download any .zip from a previous release that is not CentOS 8.2, ideally would like to be self-sufficient and gain the knowledge on how to do this myself. --- If anyone has actually done this with CentOS 8.2 and WSL2 and has it working swimingly, please reply, would love to get this up and running for a higher level of productivity, scripting and automation on my Windows dev box.

Installing devtoolset-6 on CentOS 8
by Eric Gervais-Despres 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Has anybody tried (and succeeded) to get gcc 6.3.1 (or devtoolset-6) to work on CentOS 8? In the Animation and Visual Effect industry, gcc 6.3.1 is still the current recommended compiler (see www.vfxplatform.com) and is required to build many plugins. Unfortunately, it is not a "minimum requirement"... It is THE requirement. So I tried to get it from the vault: -- sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo= http://vault.centos.org/7.6.1810/sclo/x86_64/rh/ sudo dnf install devtoolset-6 -- but I get these messages: -- Error: Problem: package devtoolset-6-6.1-1.el7.x86_64 requires devtoolset-6-runtime, but none of the providers can be installed conflicting requests nothing provides policycoreutils-python needed by devtoolset-6-runtime-6.1-1.el7.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages -- All options fail. I hate having to install something not officially supported anymore, but still officially required for many current software.

Replacement for KMail V1
by Gary Stainburn 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Last week my trusty Fedora 9 file and print server failed on me. Not bad for 12 years trusty service. I have now replaced it with a C7 server and found that lots have changed in those 12 years. Thankfully many things haven't, named-chroot, dhcpd, etc pretty much copied across and Samba wasn't a major rewrite. However I feel like my right arm has been chopped off. My work life revolves around my emails which were in KMail version 1.x. My first thought was to move to the current KMail which is version 4.x. The problem is that it's cr*p. It appears to be the same as V1, but just more up to date - perfect. Unfortunately it is so slow that it is completely unusable, even on a brand new server. As a GUI it is unusable, and functionally fails with connections time out etc. Some research has found that KMail was stuffed as far back as V2 when they moved to using an embedded MYSQL engine to drive it. What I would really like is advice on how to make KMail V4 usable. As I doubt that is possible can anyone please recommend a decent email client with good keyboard short-cuts and filtering processes. I am currently limping along using Thunderbird but I find the lack of useful keystroke functions (such as next unread message, next folder with an unread message) annoying. Having to move my hand from keyboard to mouse is more exercise than I'm used to.
