Force package install using yum?
by Jeffrey Walton 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi Everyone, I have a CentOS 7 box that's refusing a rpm update. I suspect it has something to do with SCL enabled. The 'yum update' output is shown below. I need to force this package to install. I don't give a damn about the log files. I need that server patched since it is forward facing. Taking the server offline is not an option. How do I force the package installation? Thanks in advance. ==================== Running transaction Updating : httpd24-httpd-2.4.34-18.el7.x86_64 1/2 Error unpacking rpm package httpd24-httpd-2.4.34-18.el7.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/logs: cpio: rename httpd24-httpd-2.4.34-15.el7.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!

RPMFusion and NVIDIA driver problem
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi list, I'm on C8.1 and I'm trying to install NVIDIA driver from rpmfusion-nonfree repository but it returns: package kmod-nvidia-3:440.82-2.el8.x86_64 requires kmod-nvidia-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64 >= 3:440.82-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel < 4.18.0-148.el8 needed by kmod-nvidia-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64-3:440.82-2.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) and uname -r returns: 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 Seems that RPMFusion needs an update. Waiting for this there is a way to install this package without fall in problems? Thank you in advance.

fdisk boot partition
by Jerry Geis 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

I am trying to use CentOS 8 host to boot an image (OS X) that I created using dd. First I tried fdisk -l image_file.img - all looks good so I did fdisk image_file.img - this works - but seems in CentOS 8 fdisk there is no longer a toggle bootable flag option. How do I do that ? Thanks, Jerry

what's the advantage of NetworkManager for server?
by d tbsky 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi: I always use network-scripts to start network at EL7. NetworkManager is not as good as network scripts under that OS. but now EL8 said that network-scripts is depreciated. I wonder if I should still use network-scripts to start network? I am afraid there will be new bugs for the network-scripts, like systemd service unit dependency. although it is solid at EL7.

Hi everybody As a word of caution - make sure you are prepared for some trouble when upgrading krb5 packages to version 1.18.2-2.el8. FreeIPA brakes with: ...krb5kdc[554972](Error): Database module does not match KDC version - while initializing database for realm XX.YY

CentOS 7 system running out of available memory, then unusable, network interfaces probably involved
by wwp 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Hello, my CentOS 7 system goes unstable after few days of use, memory consumption growing and never getting freed, until the system slows down to hell (swapping), kills apps, and eventually freezes or reboots itself. This only happens when I have two network interfaces turned on, one wired and one wireless, each to different routers. The hardware: a Dell Precision 7530, SSD, 16GB RAM. HW memory and disk both tested OK by software. According to lspci: 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (7) I219-LM (rev 10) 6e:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 (rev 29) The software: I keep this CentOS 7 system up-to-date with the CR repo, excepted the microcode_ctl package, stuck to few versions back (updating it kills the system and potentially causes fs damages). Kernels reproducing the issue (IOW, all): kernel-3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64 Nothing jumps to my eyes looking at /var/log/messages but this, many occurrences: kernel: nf_conntrack: falling back to vmalloc. I searched the Internet for it, and the few results I found were not bringing any solution and were quite pessimistic WRT to memory freeing, am I wrong? Regards, -- wwp https://useplaintext.email/

Adding root CA certificates for use by NSS applications?
by James Pearson 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

I'm trying to get a third party application to use the root CA certificate of an SSL proxy - but can't work out how to install the cert for use by all users on CentOS 7 I have the proxy vendor's supplied CA cert in PEM format I can install the cert in a user's home directory using 'certutil' - and the application works OK - but I would like to do 'something' to install this cert somewhere central that will be picked up by all users After a bit of Googling, I've found that by default, EL7 uses 'p11-kit-trust.so' (from the p11-kit-trust package) as a drop-in replacement for the nss supplied 'libnssckbi.so' (via 'alternatives') - which, I believe, should be able to pick up CA certs installed under /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ Strace'ing the app, I can see it reading the files under /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/... including the required CA cert - but the app fails to connect - but I have no idea what might be wrong ... Am I missing something obvious here? Is there an easier way to achieve what I want? Thanks James Pearson

CentOS 8 - Fail to mount ${HOME}
by Yair Garfinkel 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Hi, We have a large amount of CentOS 7 here and when a user logs in to any of them, his home directory is mounted of the network. When we tried to do this with CentOS 8, the user logs in but his home directory was created locally on the machine. - I have already disables this "nice" feature by running: [root@lab_cnt08 ~]# *authconfig --disablemkhomedir --update* - Both CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 machines reside in the same domain. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, *Yair Garfinkel*
