Some thoughts on systemd
by Timothy Murphy 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

I haven't had any problems with systemd. However, I didn't have any problems with sysVinit over many years. But the only practical advantage of systemd that I've seen touted is that it speeds up boot-time. Even if this were true it does not seem to me worth worrying about, as - in my case at least - the frequency of re-booting is so low that even if it took twice as long it would still be a negligible fraction of my time. In fact I've been running CentOS-6.5 and CentOS-7 off and on for the last few days, and I have found no difference in boot-time. It takes my HP MicroServer 80 seconds to reboot and login, and at least 65 seconds of this is taken up with messages from HP's BIOS, checking USB devices or ports, checking PXE devices (I know I could probably turn this off), and starting up KDE. So I find this particular argument for systemd null and void. As far as I can see, the other reason for favouring systemd is more philosophical, and is based on the idea that the many different start-up routines share a considerable amount of common code, and that it is good to take out this code and put it in a separate process. That seems to me a good Unix-like argument. In principle this should simplify the algorithms involved. But it seems to me that the way in which it has been implemented has in fact increased the complication rather than the reverse. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Installing CentOS7 boot loader into the /boot partition
by Edward Diener 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

I did not see any way, during the CentOS7 install, to install the CentOS7 boot loader into the /boot partition rather than to the MBR of a drive. How does one do this in the installation of CentOS7 ?

But Gnome 3 is new to CentOS. In fact Gnome 3 was the main reason I stopped using Fedora and moved to CentOS in the first place. Thanks for the info though. It appears that dconf-editor is just a graphical front end to gsettings. In my original post, I mentioned some of the gsettings commands that I had already tried. I eventually found the right one by searching through one by one - my original comment about the documentation still stands. For others searching the archives in the future, the command that stopped the awful auto-maximise is: $ gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.classic-overrides edge-tiling false Intuitively obvious, right?... yeah. Job #1 - make it less annoying - check. Job #2 - make it less ugly... Steve

Centos 7 NetInstall: Pane is dead
by Nordgren, Bryce L -FS 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hi list, I downloaded the netinstall iso, burned it to disk, and tried to install on my old Dell PowerEdge 2900 (Intel Xeon / 8Gb ram). Machine is connected to a KVM. The Centos 6 netinstall iso worked flawlessly on this exact configuration two days ago. The first thing anaconda does after verifying the media is complain that "pane is dead" in the lower left corner. At this point, there does not seem to be much I can do (system ignores keypresses). Is there a way to get more details about what went wrong? Thanks much, Bryce This electronic message contains information generated by the USDA solely for the intended recipients.

CentOS 7, not systemd questions
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Question 1: has anyone used preupgrade (I used it with fc 17 -> 19, and it pretty much appeared to work, but that was on a couple of worksttions)? Opinions? Question 2: is grub still supported, or is there something that *FORCES* you to use grub2? mark "grub2 must DIE!"

dovecot + pigeonhole on CentOS-7
by Timothy Murphy 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

I've everything running fine under CentOS-7, as far as I can tell, except that spam is not being diverted to my spam folder ~/Maildir/.Spam . I'm running postfix + spamass-milter + spamass-milter-postfix + dovecot (+ spamassassin), and spam is being duly marked before ending in my inbox . As far as I can see, the current advice is to leave filtering to dovecot, using the dovecot-pigeonhole rpm. I'm wondering if anyone else is doing this? If so, what settings exactly did you use? I haven't been able to find any clear documentation, or rather I have seen widely differing instructions. My brief attempt failed, so if anyone can help I should be very grateful. (Or if anyone has a better spam filtering scheme ...) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Hi All ;) I am using a virtual machine with: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga) Linux logserver01 2.6.18-274.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 8 17:36:59 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux syslog-ng 2.1.4 I have following configuration: ... 9 options { 10 create_dirs (yes); 11 dir_group (root); 12 dir_owner (root); 13 dir_perm (0700); 14 group (root); 15 owner (root); 16 perm (0600); 17 flush_lines(1); 18 flush_timeout (1000); 19 keep_hostname (yes); 20 log_fifo_size (1); 21 use_dns (no); 22 use_fqdn (no); 23 }; ... 39 source s_stdout { 40 # file ("/logs/stdout.log" flags(no-parse) follow_freq(1)); 41 file ("/logs/stdout.log" flags(no-parse)); 42 }; ... 61 destination d_stdout { file("/var/log/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY/stdout"); }; ... 80 log { source(s_stdout); destination(d_stdout); }; The problem is that changes in /logs/stdout.log are only visible in /var/log/20140717/stdout when I perform /etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload or restart.

centos 7: trouble setting the ondemand governor
by Corey Hickey 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi, The default "stop" action for the cpupower service seems to be to set the ondemand governor, but this fails. I can reproduce the issue directly by running cpupower: $ sudo cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand Setting cpu: 0 Error setting new values. Common errors: - Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?) - Is the governor you requested available and modprobed? - Trying to set an invalid policy? - Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available, for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency or because the userspace governor isn't loaded? The ondemand and powersave governors work ok (powersave is the default when the host boots). Some diagnosis: $ grep ONDEMAND /boot/config-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors performance powersave So apparently the kernel is configured to support ondemand, but it is not available. I know that the hardware and BIOS are capable of it--in fact, I just rebuilt the host on centos 6.5 to verify, and ondemand works fine. Also, I don't know a reason why powersave would work but ondemand would not, hardware-wise. CPU: Intel E5-2670 System: SGI C1110-RP6 I'd appreciate any tips. I don't know if I've found a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks, Corey

Installing CentOS-7 but keeping CentOS-6.5
by Timothy Murphy 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

I'm having trouble installing CentOS-7 on my HP MicroServer. I've tried with KDE LiveCD and Netinstall (both on USB sticks), and now I'm going to try with the DVD ISO. But I want to be quite sure I can return to CentOS-6.5 if things go wrong, so I'm wondering what precisely I need to copy (eg the MBR and a bit more) so that I could get back to things as they were. Is this documented anywhere? Actually, both failed installations did give a boot menu including the old 6.5 system, but I'm afraid sometime this might not work, and I will be cut off from the world. Incidentally, the "Repair" option on the netinstall system was not as useful as I expected, or perhaps I don't know how to use it properly. It entered the new CentOS-7 system OK on chroot-ing, even mounting other partitions listed in /etc/fstab . And I was able to bring up the interfaces with "service network restart". But although I ran grub2-install , this did not help matters. Is there anything else one can do after chrooting into a system? Eg, can one boot the system in any way? Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

CentOS-7 amavisd
by Timothy Murphy 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Is anyone running amavisd and clamd under CentOS-7? Amavisd-new seems difficult to install, and clamd is difficult to find. (I've only added the epel repository, as I had a conflict when I added rpmforge as well.) I take it amavis is still the recommended way to run postfix? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

When you get something that > fundamental wrong it is hard to take the rest seriously. > Without gainsaying any of the foregoing, let me put the alternative case. In my opinion, the era of dedicated sys-admins is passing if not already finished. A good friend of mine, sadly now deceased, began his career working for RCA adjusting colour television sets in the owner's homes. The neighbourhood garage with two or three teen-aged grease-monkeys and owner-mechanic are gone. So too are chauffeur-mechanics for car owners, elevator operators in buildings, attendants at public toilets (at least in North America), telephone-operators (mainly), and telephone booths (mostly). It is called the advance of the ages. All technology must, if it is to become truly useful, disappear from conscious consideration when operated. Consider how little user maintenance is even possible with a modern automobile, how pervasive the idea of instant world-wide voice and data communication is and the absurd triviality of the operating the technology necessary to accomplish this is (from the end user's perspective). How many here remember party-line telephone service? Operator assisted Station-to-Station and Person-to-Person long distance calls? Telegrams? Telex? Centrex? Analysis pads? Residual artifacts of all these things are still to be found but their function has been subsumed and submerged by technology and the skills necessary to operate them are obsolete. All successful automation is going down the same path. The *nixes have not won the OS wars but they are, I believe, a significant part of the medium term future of automation. However, to become truly useful to the widest possible audience the arcane user interface commonly encountered in the myriad of disjointed *nix system utilities has to be radically simplified to the point of triviality. A shell is, at its root, a programming language. A peculiar form of virtual machine if you will. The vast majority of computer users are not programmers and will never become so. What this means is that the shell, of whatever ilk, must be submerged to the view of most users if *nix is to thrive. For the cognoscenti this will ever be a point of discomfort for it puts into question the value of their hard won skills. Nonetheless, things like systemd, gnome3, and no-doubt dumber and more awful things to come are, in my opinion, inevitable. Computing is just too valuable a resource to be left solely in the hands of a self-selected elite whose entrance requirement is mastery of a dozen subtly different ways of telling computer systems to do essentially the same thing. There is a reason that things like Webmin already exist and it is not because of MS-Windows or LUsers. It is because the native administrative interface to the standard *nix system is a nightmare of complexity, inconsistency and sheer bloody-mindedness. At least, that is how I see it. I am not comfortable with change but I have long ago given up trying to resist it. If systemd presents a common DSL for service management dependencies __AND__ it works then bring it on. I had to write upstart Stanzas for IAXModem on C6. I suppose it will not be any harder in its successor on C7. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

CentOS7: vncserver - desktop resolution
by Martin Moravcik 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hi, I just installed CentOS7 and managed to start the vncserver service, but once I connect to the machine, the desktop resolution isn't the one which I set in the vncserver@:3.service file located in /lib/systemd/system/ directory. The content of the mention file: ---------------------------------------- [Unit] Description=Remote desktop service (VNC) After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=forking # Clean any existing files in /tmp/.X11-unix environment ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :' ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l foo -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1400x800 -nolisten tcp -localhost" PIDFile=/home/foo/.vnc/%H%i.pid ExecStop=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :' [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ------------------------------------------ The desktop resolution is different (more than my NB display can display) and the scroll bars appear. The same behaviour occurs when I start the vncserver from commant line: vncserver :4 -geometry 1400x800 -nolisten tcp -localhost and then connect via ssh vncconfig -display :4 -connect localhost:49999 In CentOS6 I had no problem with this. The desktop resolution adjusted according the -geometry parameter. Please, let me know, if you have any idea. thanks martin

Troubleshooting suspend/resume problem in Centos 7
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

I'm trying out CentOS 7 using a HP AMD laptop http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&docname=c03877039 The problem is the laptop doesn't suspend properly in runlevel 5 / graphical.target and following guides, I found that it suspends (power LED blinking) but does not resume in runlevel 3 / multi-user.target. When it locks up, the machine is unresponsive to ping/ssh so it's not just a blank screen. Unfortunately, the only applicable guide I found on troubleshooting this is for Ubuntu, which requires the kernel to support pm_trace which isn't found in /sys/power. Since there is a big red warning on centos.org about building/compiling my own kernel to add functions, I'm wondering if there are any alternative method to troubleshoot the issue on CentOS. I suspect it may be related to the Radeon GPU as I notice that every now and then after fresh boot, the GUI desktop will freeze for a while and dmesg will contain errors: [drm:cik_ib_test] *ERROR* radeon: fence wait failed (-35) [drm:radeon_ib_ring_tests] *ERROR* radeon: failed testing IB on ring 2 (-35) As a side note, this laptop had no problems with suspend/resume when it was running Ubuntu 14.04

Opera is slow on CentOS

Hi there, I am running various browsers on my CentOS 6.5. Firefox is running smoothly, especially with blocking flash animations. I recently installed Opera and I use Seamonkey for long, both suffers from being very slow. Does CentOS have any role in this?

CentOS-7 kernel trouble
by Timothy Murphy 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

When I re-boot I get the message "A problem in the kernel package has been detected". I am asked if I want to report this, to which I respond in the affirmative; but I have no idea where this report goes, or if it can be read in some way. The boot continues, and the system seems to work, although on the last occasion it failed after 2 days, and I was unable to re-boot it, so had to re-install it (from the KDE LiveCD). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Cemtos 7 : Systemd alternatives ?
by Always Learning 16 Jul '14

Reading about systemd, it seems it is not well liked and reminiscent of Microsoft's "put everything into the Windows Registry" (Win 95 onwards).

C6.5 - combine two DVD isos into one tree?
by tony＠softins.co.uk 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

I have the two DVD isos for CentOS 6.5 mounted as loopback, on the mount points /centos6 and /centos6a, and am trying to use them for PXE/KS installation. The problem I have is that the packages in /centos6a/Packages are not found by the installer. The host is a CentOS 5 system. Is there a way for me to overlay the second DVD on the first without having to copy all the packages from both isos into a new directory? Or is there a standard path I can use to mount the second DVD that the installer will use for packages that are not found on the first? Or any other ideas? I'm sure I can't be the first to stumble over this! Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony(a)softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony(a)mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org

Disable auto window maximize
by Steve 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Job #1 for me with CentOS 7 is to disable the automatic window maximization. Some googling found this command: $ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter auto-maximize false No such schema 'org.gnome.mutter' and this: $ gsettings set orh.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling false but that had no visible effect. I couldn't find anything under Applications->documentation and I didn't see anything in the on-line GNOME help manual. I looked under Applications->System Tools and Applications->Utilities. I found the Tweak Tool but didn't see anything in there either. Can someone point me to some documentation on how to do this? Thanks, Steve

Python Twisted Packages In CentOS 7

I'm currently looking for the package python-twisted-names but seem to be falling short. A quick yum search and a bit of digging appears to indicate that there are quite a few less twisted packages for python in 7 then there is in 6. Is this expected or am I searching in the wrong places? Thank you for the help =) -- --------------------------------------- Alex Marz BBM: 75B6B215

latest freeIPA on CentOS
by Johnny Tan 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

We're looking to run freeipa on CentOS-6.5. It seems the version available for 6.5 is 3.0, whereas the latest 3.x is 3.3.5 (available in F19 & 20). And now I see 4.0 was just released and will be in F21 (with support for native OTP-based 2FA!). Has anyone attempted rebuilds against the F19/20 3.3.5 RPMS for CentOS? Given the dependency chain, is it worth going down this rabbit hole? Otherwise, is everyone who is running CentOS and FreeIPA pretty much using 3.0? Since it's a new build, I was hoping we could start with the latest stable, but not ready yet to run RHEL7/CentOS7 or Fedora in our environment. johnny

Generally speaking, if a service is broken to the point that it needs something to automatically restart it I'd rather have it die gracefully and not do surprising things until someone fixes it.

Using systemd only was my requirement. i.e. using /etc/systemd/system/ instead of /etc/sysconfig/network{,-scripts}. The replies I got were "oh, you can still use /etc/sysconfig/network{,-scripts} with systemd *for now*, so you can kludge it together." What's the point then? systemd is supposed to handle something as simple as two little interfaces; I am not even talking about vlans and virtual interfaces. I know how to do it using /etc/sysconfig/network{,-scripts}, but that is besides the point. If systemd is the Way of the Future, I should be able to do this simple configuration in it in CentOS 7. After all, with CentOS 7, systemd is the de facto way to do things, right? I do sound annoyed because I am: I keep hearing about how systemd is "going to liberate us from the Old White Man way of doing things," and I am willing to be the devil's advocate here for I plan on using Linux in the foreseeable future. But, if it cannot deliver me two little interfaces up and running -- not asking for cookies and a massage but would not turn them down if I get my interfaces up and happy -- I do have an issue. So, for those who know the Way of The systemd, please show me here or in my thread (so we keep this one on-topic) how to do that in a completely systemd-networkd way (and why what I wrote is boink).

centos plus kernel - moving it in and back out again
by Frank Cox 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

I have been reading the bug reports about the problem with initializing Logitech wireless devices using the current stock Centos 7 kernel. It's my understanding that this issue will be fixed in the Centos Plus kernel. However, I suspect that the issue will also be fixed at some point when Red Hat get around to fixing their kernel as well. My main computer has a Logitech wireless mouse that's likely affected by the bug, though I haven't tried it yet to verify that. One of these days I intend to get around to installing Centos 7 on this computer, and this will then become an issue. If I install Centos 7 and then the Centos Plus kernel to get the Logitech bug fix, what happens when the stock Centos 7 kernel also gets the bug fix applied? Will a standard "yum update" automatically find and download the new stock Centos 7 kernel and set everything up to it instead of the Centos Plus kernel? I suppose I could go and hunt down a different mouse to use on this computer until the issue is resolved upstream, too. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

CentOS 7 - Add a menu item.
by Doug Sommer 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

I am kinda stuck. I want to add a menu item and like all previous versions of Centos I used Alacarte without issue. In C7, it will not allow you to put anything but a one name command. IE, firefox. You can not have something like java -jar /opt/PROG/NAME.jar. It grays out the OK button as soon as you put a space after java. Note if you edit a menu item that that has a space, it is also grayed out. Any other way to add one> Thanks - Doug
