You guys may have noticed that the 7.7.1908 packages for the GA release have been posted to QA for all arches (x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64. ppc64, armhfp, i386). These are just the items that will be in the os/ (base) repository and not the zero day updates. We are working on the updates now.

Giving full administrator privileges through sudo on production systems
by Bagas Sanjaya 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hello, Consider two following cases: 1. On production systems on television stations, a sysadmin give teens (remaja group, age 13 and older) full administrator privileges by adding this line to sudoers: %remaja ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Rationale: Almost all programs on the system can only be run by teens as root. 2. On production systems on tobacco factories, a sysadmin also give adults (age 18 and older, dewasa group) full administrator privileges by adding this line to sudoers: %dewasa ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Also, the sudo lecture file configured in sudoers (/etc/sudo.lecture) contain the following: WARNING: I BROKE MY SYSTEM BECAUSE OF SUDO. CUSTOMER SERVICE: ($a_random_phone_number) Rationale: All programs on system can only be run by adults, because such programs might break system. However, instead of calling sysadmin when something breaks the system, adults can call customer service instead, which isn't qualified for system maintenance. Based on above cases, is it OK to give group of random users full administrator privileges using sudo, by adding them to sudoers with ALL privileges? Should sudoers call customer service number instead of sysadmin when something breaks? Cheers, Bagas -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara

by Jay Hart 29 Aug '19

I figure it won't. Hope the experts can clarify. I'm still using C6 and want to C7 and really to C8. https://www.psychz.net/client/kb/en/upgrade-centos-6-to-centos-7.html

When I wrote them originally I thought I was going from experience of previous releases and thought I was being matter of fact. In rereading I realized I was crass and grumpy. My un-reserved apologies for that. I should have either not posted or waited, reread and rewritten. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

xfs
by Jerry Geis 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

I used to be able to 'repair' ext4 fs issue (when the boot process drops you into emergency mode)... but now with xfs - it does not seem to let me do that. xfs_repair /dev/sda3 or xfs_repair -L /dev/sda3 both say fatal error fatal error -- couldn’t initialize XFS library How can I repair XFS with burning a DVD and finding an external USB reader etc... Thanks, Jerry

OT: mostly gone
by mark 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi, folks, Well, it's ten years that I've been on this list, right when I started this job. But, it's time to move on... I'm retiring. (Yeah, that old.) So, though I'll be part time for a few months, and running CentOS at home (in spite of my manager's pushing me to do Ubuntu). This list is *so* much more useful than any of the ones I've seen for Ubuntu, or much else. I'm very much looking forward to C 8. One more thing: I know I've been over the top on ethics "I work for a US federal contractor, but not saying more", even though there's folks like Todd, who's military. Anyway, now that I'm out, today, my line (in person) was, "I'm with the federal goverment, and I'm here to help you." Then, after they ask if I'll have to kill them, I can say, no: I've been with the NIH, and so, yes, I really meant it. I'll show up occasionally, but not like I have been. So long, and thanks for all the fish. mark

Slideshow/presentation software for CentOS
by H 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

I am looking for software to make slideshows/presentations on CentOS, incorporating photos, videos and text (possibly also music) allowing for transition effects etc. I'd like to be able to drag and drop/rearrange photos etc. from different folders into a timeline and eventually end up with something I can show. Ideally without having to make copies of photos and store them in a folder specific for this but drag and drop from whatever folder the photo etc. already exists in. Impress and similar PowerPoint-like software excluded. I have found a few packages on the net but nothing that is still being developed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

Why is the branch c6 empty for every rpm packages?
by Qiying Wang 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi, I wan't to find the sqlite & python rpm packaging files in git.centos.org, but I found that the branch c6 for centos 6 are all empty. Is that because centos 6 reached its end? Or where can I find the packaging files? Best regards, WqyJh

C7.6 Update problem
by Alessandro Baggi 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

Hi list, today I tried to update my centos workstation (7.6.1810). My problem concerns kmod-nvidia update. Nvidia driver where installed by elrepo. During running yum update I get: kmod-nvidia.x86_64 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo elrepo and I also get several statements like this: Errore: Pacchetto: kmod-nvidia-430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64 (elrepo) Richiede: kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x5b116915 Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.12.1.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.12.2.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Installato: kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64 (@updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-3.10.0-957.21.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0xb911786f Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64 (base) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.12.1.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.12.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.21.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 Disponibile: kernel-debug-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64 (updates) kernel(drm_atomic_helper_check) = 0x1b358289 I noticed that running "yum list kmod-nvidia" I have installed version 430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo and now is available version 430.40-2.el7_7.elrepo and the first thing that I see is minor release change from 7_6 to 7_7. Reading from this https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=920&nbn=4 seems that kmod-driver was uploaded for 7.7 release but centos is on 7.6. I'm not using elrepo-testing but yum try to update 7_7 version. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

Extend DHCP range
by Jerry Geis 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

I have a simple DHCP range . option routers 192.168.1.1; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.60 192.168.1.129; range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.199; } So I want to add a range 192.168.2.1 -> 192.168.2.254 so I did this: subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 { range 192.168.1.60 192.168.1.129; range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.199; range 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.254; } then tried to restart the dhcpd server... This did not work. How do I get more dhcp addresses ? Thanks, Jerry
