Conky on CentOS 8
by Bill Maidment 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

Hi I've been using conky in conjunction with gcalcli on Scientific Linux 7 to display google calendar data on screen. In CentOS 8, I have set up the gcalcli part, but I can't find a conky rpm. Is anyone working on creating this for CentOS 8? There appears to be an rpm for fedora 28 onwards, but there are dependency issues. Can anyone help? -- Cheers Bill

CentOS 8: what changed (regular UNIX admin commands)?
by Valeri Galtsev 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

Hello Experts! I'm sure many of you run CentOS for some time already. My question is: is there some place that lists which of the most often used sysadmin commands are gone and what are replacements for them. Or what else one needs to do after successful installation. (in the past it was process accounting that was not enabled by default, but which gives you quite some handle in investigating compromise). I just tried quite ordinaly command of freshly installed CentOS 8: last and got an error: last: (default utx db): No such file or directory I realize that it could be just me, and I'll cope with that myself one way or another but this one prompted me to ask everybody: Is there anything I can read so I can learn what differenmt to expect on CentOS 8 from, say, CentOS 7? Thanks.

rsync: did not see server greeting.
by Ralf Prengel 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

Hallo, until last week I used a debian system for syncing debian and centos mirrors. Everything worked fine for years. After installing centos 7 rsync doesn t work any longer. The configuration of the firewall is the same as before. The message I see is rsync: did not see server greeting. Has anyone a hint for me? Are ther any main differences between rsync debian and rsync centos? Thanks Ralf

moving from centos 8 to stream? (and possibly back again?)
by Robert P. J. Day 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

just installed stock centos 8 x86_64 and did "dnf update", now reading up on centos stream, and wondering: 1) can i, at any time, decide to convert this system to centos stream, notwithstanding any normal updates i've done in the meantime? 2) if i'm running centos stream and decide it's just too progressive for me, can i dial it back to "regular" centos down the road? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Centos 8 hardware compatibility testing?
by Frank Cox 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

With Centos 7 and earlier I've been using the Live CD image to test new hardware (laptops etc) for compatibility. That way I can get a desktop up and try the sound and the networking and whatnot without affecting what is already installed on the machine, and then if everything looks good I can just run the installer right from the Live CD image. There's no Live CD image for Centos 8, so what would be a good way to accomplish the task of testing new hardware with Centos 8 before attempting to install the operating system? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Stream not installing centos-release-stream
by Rich Greenwood 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

It looks like anaconda isn't installing centos-release-stream when you install CentOS 8 Stream. I just did a minimal install through PXE and it pulled everything from the 8-stream repository and installed the stream versions, but didn't install centos-release-stream. (Below is the output of yum list \*release\* immediately after install.) This means that it will not get updates from stream. Is this intentional or is this a bug? --Rich Last metadata expiration check: 0:06:02 ago on Tue 22 Oct 2019 11:02:55 AM PDT. Installed Packages centos-release.x86_64 8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8 @anaconda Available Packages centos-release.i686 8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8 BaseOS centos-release-stream.x86_64 8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8 extras elrepo-release.noarch 8.0-2.el8.elrepo extras epel-release.noarch 8-5.el8 extras -- Rich Greenwood Network Engineer Shasta County Office of Education 530-225-0161

C8 regression / tmp on tmpfs
by Leon Fauster 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Does someone have a working tmp on tmpfs via systemctl enable tmp.mount under CentOS8/RHEL8? This seems to work straight in EL7 ... # LANG=C systemctl enable tmp.mount The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). 4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. -- Leon

Migrating users to new server
by Kenneth Porter 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

An age-old problem and there are some simple awk/grep-based scripts to handle the easy cases. Are there any more sophisticated tools that can extract all non-system users and groups and then merge the result into the password/group/shadow/gshadow files of a new server? I don't need home directories or mbox inboxes created because I'll rsync those over once I've created the users. Tricky problems include merging entries for existing users and groups, and renumbering if one is moving from a 500-based system to a 1000-based system. (I did the latter long ago so don't need it this time.) Red Hat's page with some simple commands to handle the easy cases: <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/179753>
