CentOS 7, ATI video, ex-X, still fighting
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Still trying to get it running. Updated CentOS 7, ATI video card, trying to use the radeon driver, and, using the previous kernel, X appears to come up, but gdm fails; with the 514 kernel, X fails to start. And here's a twist: I just rebooted, with radeon.modeset=1 on the kernel line... and for no reason I know of, I get *six* logs, Xorg.[0-5].log. Does this suggest anything to anyone? I can't imagine it's trying to start X six times.... mark

Hi, folks, This is odd. Just recently, at home, even though I have it set to display messages as plain text, I'm suddenly seeing pics attached to spam inline, as though I had it set to display html. Can't find anything to make it stop - anyone have a clue? mark

Cannot access Samba shares after latest update
by Ed Gurski 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Yesterday (12/17/16), I updated my Centos 7 machine with the latest updates. Prior to the updates both my Windows 10 and Centos 7 machines were able to access Samba shares hosted on a Fedora 25 server. After rebooting the Centos 7 machine, I get the dreaded "Unable to access location --- Failed to receive share list from server --- Connection refused" message when trying to mount the shares via the "Network Servers" gui. I can see the Samba machine but cannot access it. My Windows 10 machines can still access the shares but not Centos 7. In fact, one of my Windows 10 machines is running as a virtual machine on Centos 7. The Centos 7 only has the Samba client software installed and I can do the following from my Centos 7: "nmblookup samba_machine" and I get the correct response. "smbclient -L samba_machine" and I see all the shares. I did stop the firewall on both machines without success. Any clues?

7.3 and USB headphones
by Fred Smith 17 Dec '16

17 Dec '16

Hi all! I wish to give huge thankyous to KB and all the others who worked to get 7.3 out the door. Many thanks! I have some good things and some bad. A good thing is that unlike previous versions, when I plug in my USB headphones they are automatically recognized and I get sound without having to change anything! (which is a huge win from before when I had to mess with settings, sometimes for a few minutes, to get headphone sound and microphone audio.) The not so good thing is that I don't have any working volume control for that sound. Nothing I have found will change the sound volume in the headphones except the little dongle-thing that is inline in the headphone cord. sometimes when messing with it strange things happen on the screen that I don't understand, so I prefer to just leave it alone. (one thing I don't know is if the microphone is enabled, too, when it is plugged in... I'll probably find out tomorrow when I have an online class.) Anyone have any ideas how to get control over this? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know? Have you not heard?

CentOS 7, ATI video, ex-X
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

A user running gnome came in this morning, clicked on the application menu... and it was much shorter than he expected. He could get to firefox, and googled about refreshing that... and found something that told him to reboot. And that's it: I cannot get X up, at all. I just get the "oh, no, something failed, please log out and try again". Fully updated CentOS 7, [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240/340 OEM], and, like most of us, he uses two monitors. . I've tried removing the xorg.conf, and renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf, which was there (I didn't put it there when I built the box a few months ago.) I don't see anything even vaguely useful in the Xorg logs... and, for that reason, not sure why I'm on Xorg.3.log, other than it may have been created by startx. I've tried that, both as root, and as myself, get that "oh, no" screen, and when I hit enter to log out, I get a live but black screen, completely unresponsive. I don't see any errors in dmesg or messages, and I've tried reinstalling xorg-x11-drv-ati, which gives me xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.el7.x86_64. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I can't even get a single screen working, though it's mirrored, of course, in text mode. mark

Re: [CentOS] Panic on boot with 7.3 kernels when decrypting hard drive
by Christopher St. Louis 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

>> You need to capture the actual panic, or else it's just guessing. >> Boot without the rhgb quiet kernel args. >> >> Also check it's not just something silly like running out os space >> on /boot causing incomplete/corrupt initramfs. >> >> jh Thanks for the advice. Df reports that /boot has 80% free space right now; I would assume that's enough but I don't know. I need to remove a few of the old kernels I've got taking up space. There are a few initramfs-*kdump.img files that have appeared that I assume might be helpful in tracking down the problems? I changed the boot arguments (and also added the args to automatically reboot following a panic, which fixes one of my problems), and I'm definitely getting kernel panics. Both 4.4.39-1 and 4.9.0-1 end up with pretty much the same issue: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt." I know the details of the panic can/should be kept in a log somewhere, but that's where my limited experience fails me--I see references to Xorg.0.log and boot.log online, but those seem to only keep the details of the most recent boot. I used the not-so-high-tech method of taking a photo of my laptop's screen output before it restarted, and it seems like the panic details for both kernels started with a "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008" and followed shortly by an "Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP." Beyond that, the behavior seems to be somewhat inconsistent--the first time I booted the 4.9 kernel without the quiet rhgb args it seemed to hang on something related to ipv6 setup without actually getting into a panic, but I foolishly didn't capture any of the other details. The pre-7.3 4.4.36-1 kernel that had been working just fine now seems to fail in a panic every other boot, and I'm currently working from within the latest 3.10.0-514 kernel that came with 7.3, which had previously failed to boot in a panic as well. This is somewhat embarassing because I was feeling pretty confident that I had pretty much gotten the hang of regular Linux use, but now it feels like I somehow caused some major problems when I updated to 7.3 (though I didn't do anything beyond "yum update.") If I were back on Windows, this would be the part where I backup my files and start from a fresh install, since that was usually the least painless way to fix major system problems. Is there a possibility that this is fixable, or would that be a good strategy to employ here? Or does this suggest something more serious, like a hardware issue? My apologies for dragging beginner's issues here into a mailing list for an enterprise OS; CentOS just works so nicely, decently responsive with low resource usage and was (up until now) completely stable on my aging X301. Thanks again.

libgme drive-by exploit.
by Lamar Owen 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

An interesting exploit: https://scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.com/2016/12/redux-compromising-linux-us… While this is tailored to Fedora 25 (with Chrome) and Ubuntu 16.04, in checking my CentOS 7 system I find that it is not vulnerable simply because it doesn't have the libgme used by gstreamer-plugins-bad to make it work. However, gstreamer-plugins-bad-free is indeed installed, and is listed as an installation from anaconda, so it is on the media. I didn't specifically select it in the package set I installed. I didn't look to see if any third-party packages have it.... lessee.... nope, didn't find the 'Game Music Emu' (gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras contains this in Fedora 25) anywhere, but I reserve the right to be wrong. Now, even though C7 is not vulnerable by default, following Chris Evans' narrative on how he dug this out and made it reliably exploitable is a very good read, especially if you want to see what kind of trampoline can actually be employed by those who really are out to get us.

Looking for DirectFB 1.4.11 RPMs for 32-bit CentOS 6
by Alfred von Campe 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Our current build process requires the directfb-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm and directfb-devel-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm packages, but they appear to be no longer available from the EPEL repo, and I can’t find them anywhere else either. If you have a local copy, or can point me to some other repo or web site that has these 2 RPMs, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Alfred

Problem with yum on CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) with 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64 kernel
by Gregory P. Ennis 15 Dec '16

Everyone, I am at a loss on this problem would appreciate some guidance as to where to start to fix it. I noticed that my home gateway server was not being updated with the new kernel and other software, and when I ran yum it aborted with the following notices. I tried a yum clean all, but this did not fix the problem. I thought the problem may be related to one of the repos, but I have other machines in the same network that update properly. I disabled all repos except the BASE to try to simply the problem and still the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

spec file frustration (rant)
by Alice Wonder 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

I'm getting spec files from centos git which is really convenient when the related source is easy to find. But some things - e.g. from a spec file # How to create the source tarball: # # git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/python-rhsm.git/ # cd client/python-rhsm # tito build --tag python-rhsm-$VERSION-$RELEASE --tgz Never used tito before, so I install it and try, and rather than giving me the source package I need - it gives me a python traceback complaining that I haven't configured some things properly. Seems a lot of the software distribution world is getting overly complex with an expectation that the end user who needs to exercise his FLOSS rights has to use git or nodejs or for php composer or whatever just to get what use to be available with no more complexity than choosing tar.gz or tar.bz2 or .zip if the dev was Windows. Whatever happened to KISS and why can't source tarballs be distributed as source tarballs? Back when I was a Fedora packager - the packaging guidelines would reject a package of the Source tarball wasn't a URL and if the timestamp on the tarball in the src.rpm didn't match upstream even if the checksum was identical. Guess those days are gone. /rant

virt-manager problem
by Alessandro Baggi 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Hi list, this morning I've update my centos to 1611. Running virt-manager, and trying to open virt-viewer by clicking on "Open", I get this error: Errore nell'avvio dell'installazione: 'nome-mv' This bug is reported on rh bugzilla (for Fedora 24) and closed 2016-07-02 11:24:51 EDT This problem is locale related. To solve this problem (for other user) I've removed this file: /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/virt-manager.mo. and restarting virt-manager all works fine. Hope that helps for other user with same problem. Best regards. Alessandro.

A *very* strange C 7 question
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Ok, I've got a user, I just built him a C 7 machine. The new one has an ATI card; the old had an NVidia card. I got it to use the radeon driver, so it looks ok (he has a very wide screen). However... he has a program that renders a molecule (which you see as many connected lines, in various colors). However... it used to display it against a black background, and suddenly, it's a transparent background, showing what's under that window. Anyone got any ideas about that? mark

I am seeing the panel. Thoughts? Jerry

libreoffice 5 slow after 7.3 update
by Alexandru Chiscan 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Hello all, After the update to 7.3 libreoffice (5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64) became unusable slow. For an excel file with 250 rows even a simple scroll takes a few seconds, during that time the Xorg server is 100% working and the GPU utilization is at about 77% (from NVIDIA server settings). I have tried disabling the hardware acceleration (options->view) and OpenCL (options) but the problem and the high usage for Xorg and GPU persisted. I have seen the the same bug (probably) was present in Fedora 23 (libreoffice version 5.0.5.2-1.fc23.x86_64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1308700) Does anyone had the same problem and if yes what was the fix? Does RedHat 7.3 has the same problem? I have searched the bugzilla database and found only the Fedora bug. System info: Intel I3-6098P, 8GB ram, NVIDIA GT 240 with all the packages updated. libreoffice-ure-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts-5.0.6.2-3.el7.noarch libreoffice-core-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-pyuno-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-calc-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-writer-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-emailmerge-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-base-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-math-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-impress-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-graphicfilter-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-pdfimport-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-draw-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-ro-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-en-5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-32bit-340.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.98 server glx version string: 1.4 Best regards, Alexandru Chiscan

Problem with attachments in thunderbird-45.5.1
by Toralf Lund 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Hi, Has anyone else had problems opening attachments in Mozilla Thunderbird under CentOS 6 lately? I find that when I open the application and select a message with attachments and double-click on one of them, everything works as expected. But, if I try to open another (and another etc.), the helper application isn't started. In other words, I can only view one attachment per session - if I want more, I have to restart Thunderbird. This probably started happening after upgrading to a new version that was released a few days ago. - Toralf

Panic on boot with 7.3 kernels when decrypting hard drive
by Christopher St. Louis 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

I was excited to update my system to CentOS 7.3/1611 yesterday when the release announcement came through, but since then I've been running into some serious kernel issues. I've been successfully running 7.2 on a Thinkpad X301 for about 6 months now, with an encrypted disk that unlocks with a password at boot time. I think that's LUKS on LVM? I didn't tinker with the default encryption options so it's nothing too exotic: unencrypted /boot on sda1, encrypted system/home on sda2. I've used both the standard 3.10 kernels and 4.4 kernels from the kernel-lt package from ELrepo with no problems so far. When performing the update to 7.3 yesterday, the packages kernel-lt-4.4.38-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 and kernel-3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 were installed. With both of those, my system comes to a complete, frozen halt on boot, after I've entered my disk decryption key and before I see a login screen. The little progress spinner freezes, and the caps lock light on my keyboard starts blinking, which I've been told indicates a kernel panic. Any manner of key combinations, even the "magic SysRq" combinations do nothing to recover the system--the only way out is to cut the power. I was able to fall back to the still-installed 4.4.36-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 kernel with no problems. On a whim, I tried installing the latest mainline kernel from ELrepo as well (kernel-ml-4.9.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64) and encountered a similar hard lock, minus the blinkenlight in the caps lock key. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Is there anything in what I've described that sounds obvious to what the solution is? It really just seems like the problems are with kernels that have come through following the 7.3 release. I'm still somewhat new at getting into the inner workings of Linux, but is there a log that might shed some light on what went wrong? Thanks in advance, --C

Disable gnome-initial-setup
by Gordon Messmer 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Prior to 7.3, I could disable the post-first-boot GNOME initial setup window by turning off the "initial-setup-graphical" systemd service. That service no longer exists, so I no longer know how to disable the setup window. I know that I can remove the "gnome-initial-setup" package, but I expect that at some point, it'll be brought in by dependencies or group membership, so I'd like to find a way to turn it off regardless of that package's presence. Does anyone know how, in the new version?

disk selection with ks file in 7.3
by Joseph L. Casale 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

My existing ks files leave the disk selection unset in 7.3. Checking the manual, I do not see changes in that area so performing a manual installation and comparing the resulting config to mine yields little difference. Taking the anaconda generated disk config section and deploying a new ks with this halts at disk selection unset still? Anyone seeing this? jlc

7.3 sources ???
by Alice Wonder 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Looking at http://vault.centos.org/ and not seeing them. I need to rebuild krb5 At git.centos.org I can get the spec file, patches, etc. but the source are not there. In particular it looks like I need krb5-1.14.1-pdfs.tar which isn't at the MIT upstream that I can see and nss_wrapper-0.0-20140204195100.git3d58327.tar.xz which from the date *might* be in the 7.2 src.rpm - but since vault doesn't have source RPMs for 7.3 is there another place that either has them or the tarballs that aren't in the git?

read 'announce' of new release for firefox-45.5.0, then for firefox-45.5.0, decided, wrongly, to upgrade. my bad. nothing but problems. on opening what moz devs considered as 'latest and greatest', found that it was more crapola from moz devs. first run was to login with my isp, only to find page would not fully load and a message bar saying; Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading [Allow] clicking [Allow] button only cycled with same. 10 more clicks, decided that was enough. now, i would like to roll back to earlier 40.x, but no can do because of deleting 40.x to make room for new release. now have /var on it's own partition and have room for updating. 3 questions; 1- anyone else having problems with 45.5.1? 2- where might i find earlier releases of 40.x? 3- if i install 40.x in path /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/, will i be able to roll back. hoping for positive replies to #2 & 3#. replies/suggestions greatly appreciated. tia. -- The important thing is not to stop questioning. - Albert Einstein CentOS GNU/Linux 6.8 KDE 4.3.4 peace out. tc,hago. g . =+= Tired of having your microsoft os hacked?

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1611) on x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 17:42:53 +0000 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1611) on x86_64 Message-ID: <57a573d2-7a27-9472-79d9-1733117c8603(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1611) for 64 bit x86 compatible machines. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1611, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 As always, read through the Release Notes at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 - these notes contain important information about the release and details about some of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from the users. - ---------- Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos Updates released since we froze the iso and install media content are posted in the updates repo along with the release. This will include content from late November 2016 and December 2016, therefore anyone running a new install is highly encouraged to run a 'yum update' operation immediate on install completion. You can apply all updates, including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 7/x86_64 machine by just running 'yum update'. As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built from sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and buildsys process) are being published to match every binary RPM we release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install. This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS Linux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to handle stale content is included in the Release Notes. - ---------- Download In order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to get the mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend using torrents to get your initial installer images: Details on the images are available on the mirrors at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/0_README.txt - that file clearly highlights the difference in the images, and when one might be more suitable than the others.

The day's focus is on sharing technical knowledge and success stories. It's also a great place to meet and talk about upcoming technologies and learn how others are using them on CentOS Linux. Our next Dojo coming up is in Brussels, on the 3rd Feb 2017. Details are being posted at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2017 If you would like to help organise a Dojo in your area, do drop by the centos-promo list at http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-pro mo - ---------- Getting Help The CentOS ecosystem is sustained by community driven help and guidance. The best place to start for new users is at http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp - ---------- Contributors This release was made possible due to the hard work of many people, foremost on that list are the Red Hat Engineers for producing a great distribution and the CentOS QA team, without them CentOS Linux would look very different. We are also looking for people to get involved with the QA process in CentOS, if you would like to join this please introduce yourself on the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel ). - ---------- Thanks I would also like to thank our donors and sponsors for their continued support for the project. And to everyone who contributed with ideas, code, test feedback, and promoting CentOS Linux into the ecosystem.

Network Manager - force activation of multiple connections
by Gary Stainburn 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

For each of my sites I have set up a server to act as AirPrint server. This requires the LAN connection that the servers have always had, plus a WIFI connection to give it a presence on the WIFI (The WIFI and LAN are on separate VLANS) I have finally dragged myself into the 21st century and used NetworkManager for the connection, using nmtui to do the work. The problem I have is that on most of these servers, thw WIFI connection doesn't always activate on bootup and I have to go into nmtui -> activate -> WIFI etc. to get it working again. Is there a way to force NetworkManager to always activate all interfaces on bootup?

openldap: replica consumers and ppolicy overlay values
by John Jasen 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

I'm trying to setup OpenLDAP on CentOS7, in a provider/consumer relationship. In general, provider/consumer is working quite well, except when it comes to password policy. Specifically, I want PwdFailureTime to be written to the provider from one of the front end consumers when appropriate. I'm lead to believe this requires: a) ppolicy_foward_updates TRUE (done) b) an appropriate syncrepl configuration for the consumer (I believe done) c) updateref $LDAP-provider-URI (done) d) an appropriate chain overlay on the provider (I think done) e) appropriate ACLs on the provider to allow the consumer bind-user access to manage PwdFailureTime (I believe done) I've attempted all of the above, but the consumer (when run in debugging mode), does not seem to be trying any updates upon authentication failure. It gives no indication of modifying locally, or of trying to contact the provider at all over this. Any idea whats going wrong?

Updated to CentOS 7.3. Works well. Needed to restorecon on /home.
by Yan Li 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi, Sharing my experience upgrading my CentOS 7.2 to 7.3 this morning. I had to use kernel-ml 4.8 for its support of Skylake on my Dell Precision 7510 laptop. This morning 4.9 came out but I don't felt like trying it, because of the possibility of breaking my ZFS and nVIDIA stuff. So I decided to give the 7.3 in CR repo for a try. The upgrading was smooth. The only problem was that I had to reinstall nVIDIA proprietary drive because my nouveau blacklist was gone. I also had to run restorecon on /home because all labels were wrong. That broke Chrome and many other programs that need to access files in user home. I have no idea what's the cause yet. 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64's support for Skylake is great. I see no difference between it and the previous 4.8 kernel I used. Then I was surprised when another CentOS also got all the 7.3 packages. That's when I realized that 7.3 was officially released this morning! -- Yan Li

Server turns off unexpectedly
by Gary Stainburn 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

A few weeks back I built a new Centos 7 server from a 4 year old workstation PC, and a brand new HDD. This PC had no prior problems other than it ran Windows 7. Thew new HDD is because I'm planning to also use it as a Bacula storage device. For the moment is purely an AirPrint server, using CUPS and Avahi so is ide 99.9% of the time. My priblem is that twice now it has turned itself off, the last time being at 7:40am today. There is nothing I can find in the logs prior to it going off, just the normal start-up entries when it's turned back on. Can anyone suggest why i may be happening, or how I can diagnose it. The server is in a UPS protected cabinet in locked room

The environment is EL6.8 / Gnome2. I have noticed that "beagle" is not part of the distro anymore. Any suggestions for such requirement? Thanks! LF

trouble installing centos 6.8
by Emma M Birath 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Dear all, I'm having trouble installing Centos 6.8, in a VM using VirtualBox, and hoping that someone on this distribution can help. I'm running VirtualBox Version 5.1.4 r110228 (Qt5.5.1). I downloaded .iso files for Centos 6.8: - CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso - CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso I proceeded to set up a new VM, selecting Linux / RedHat 64 bit. I selected the DVD1 iso file above as "IDE Primary Master" and the DVD2 as "IDE Secondary Master". I then clicked "Start", expecting to be able to install the operating system. Instead of gives me a bunch of output I don't understand, and then it just hangs. I've attached a screen-shot. I tried to re-download the iso files, from a different mirror. Same issue. Any ideas? Thank you Emma

HI All - I was searching for "bash on centos on windows" as opposed to "bash on ubuntu on windows". Will there be or is there a centos on windows version? Thanks, Jerry
