ls permissions format changed in CentOS 8
by Kenneth Porter 26 Oct '19

26 Oct '19

When I use "ls -al" on a directory, for files with only owner read/write permission, the displayed attributes are "-rw-", not "-rw-------". That means the file names don't line up with other files in the directory, which makes the listing harder to read. What changed where and how do I fix that?

Have "system"/Hunspell dictionaries stopped working in CentOS 7 Firefox?
by Toralf Lund 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

Until quite recently, multiple spell-checker languages were available in Firefox on my CentOS 7 system. (They could be selected from "Languages" under the right-click menu in text boxes.) After a recent system upgrade, there is only "English (United States)". I don't think I had installed any extra Firefox dictionaries as such, but the "global" spell-checking support is set up to support a few extra languages via hunspell-<lang> software packages. I believe Firefox used to be able to pick these up - probably through a link from /usr/lib64/firefox to /usr/share/myspell that the CentOS firefox package provides. Did I get that right? Has the mechanism stopped working? Is there any way to re-enable the system dictionaries? Note that I get all the expected dictionaries in Thunderbird, which appears to rely on a similar hack. My Firefox is "firefox-68.1.0-2.el7.centos.x86_64". Thanks. - Toralf

smart card auth
by Stephen Berg (Code 7309) 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

I updated my work desktop to kernel-3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64 yesterday as I was leaving. This morning booted into that new kernel I was unable to login using my common access card. Rebooted in the previous kernel (3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64) and smart card login works fine. Anyone else seeing any similar problems? I haven't had time to dig deeply into the logs yet but I did a bunch of pcscd restarts overnight, about once per hour according to monit. -- Stephen Berg, IT Specialist, Ocean Sciences Division, Code 7309 Naval Research Laboratory W: (228) 688-5738 <- (Preferred contact) DSN: (312) 823-5738 C: (228) 365-01

UEFI and PXE
by isdtor 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

We have a working PXE setup. I've tried to adapt it to UEFI as per RHEL6 manual, but the client won't boot. Strangely, tcpdump shows that the client tries to download all files via tftp from the dhcp server rather than the tftp server (they are different). next-server is pointing to the tftp server. Any clues?

fresh C7.7 install
by Jerry Geis 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

HI all, I just did a fresh C7 install using kickstart. fdisk -l /dev/sda shows: # Start End Size Type Name 1 2048 2050047 1000M EFI System EFI System Partition 2 2050048 104450047 48.8G Microsoft basic 3 104450048 112642047 3.9G Linux swap 4 112642048 234440703 58.1G Microsoft basic What extra do I need to specify in my kickstart so that the "type" above is not Microsoft basic? For example, currently a line in my kickstart would be: part /home --ondisk=/dev/sda --fstype ext4 --size=58G --asprimary What is missing so the type is set correctly to linux root or linux home? Thanks, Jerry

Centos 8 & AMD hardware?
by Dave Pawson 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

Putting together a system build, AMD based. Ryzen 5 CPU on X570 chipset with Radeon RX480 GPU. Guessing this will be supported by Centos OK? (Unless you know different! :-) ) https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-400-series/radeon-rx-400-ser… Shows driver support. Does Centos repo's hold these drivers or do I download after the install please? TiA -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. Docbook FAQ.

I will give this a try as this only on an experimental machine and it will be rebuilt when 8.1 comes out, and hopefully epel will be updated by then. -- Cheers Bill

Difference between "CentOS Linux 8" and "RHEL8"
by Sergio Belkin 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

Hi, I've read about all recent changes about workflow: Fedora>CentOS Stream. I understood that in the end CentOS Linux (8) keeps on being "built from publicly available open source source code provided by Red Hat, Inc for Red Hat Enterprise Linux"[1] Is that correct? I mean the only that changed are CentOS upstream (Fedora and Centos Stream) didn't it? Thanks in advance [1]: https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-4b2dd1ea6dcc1243d6e3886dc3e5d1ebb2… -- -- Sergio Belkin LPIC-2 Certified - http://www.lpi.org
