Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1810) on armhfp (Pablo Sebasti?n Greco) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 09:18:22 -0600 From: Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> To: CentOS-Announce <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1810) on the x86_64 Architecture Message-ID: <1cf9af45-fd45-b32e-0aea-eae0ff9966d1(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" We are pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1810) for the x86_64 architecture. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1810, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 Source Code. 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 the upstream release are all posted, across all architectures. We strongly recommend every user apply all updates, including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 7 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. Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same applications are trim'd off from repos like Extras/ and Plus/ However this time we have also extended this to the SIG content hosted at mirror.centos.org, and some older End of Life content has been dropped. Everything we ever release, is always available on the vault service for people still looking for and have a real need for it. ---------- 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. sha256sum x86_64: 3213b2c34cecbb3bb817030c7f025396b658634c0cf9c4435fc0b52ec9644667?

Look for an announcement posted to the centos-announce list for more information on availability for these in the coming days. ---------- 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 We are also on social media, you can find the project: on Twitter at? : http://twitter.com/CentOSProject on Facebook at : https://www.facebook.com/groups/centosproject/ on LinkedIn at : https://www.linkedin.com/groups/22405 And you will find the core team and a majority of the contributors on irc, on freenode.net in #centos ; talking about the finer points of distribution engineering and platform enablement. ---------- 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. Many of the team went further and beyond expectations to bring this release to you, and I would like to thank everyone for their help. 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 ). Finally, please join me in thanking the donors who all make this possible for us. Enjoy the fresh new release! Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Connect CentOS 7 / GNOME to wireless WPA2/AES ?
by Nicolas Kovacs 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Hi, I just shipped a CentOS 7 laptop with a slightly customized GNOME desktop to one of my clients who works for a belgian public broadcasting service. He wants to move away from the world of proprietary software, so he sent me a list of specifications, which we have almost completed. There's a handful of items we still have to work out. One of them is the specific wireless connection available at his workplace. He can connect to his home network OK using the NetworkManager applet provided in the GNOME desktop. But at his workplace, it's a different setup with WPA2/AES. Has anybody on this list ever used this kind of wireless connection method, which involves installing a certificate? Or maybe you can point me to the relevant documentation?

Centos7- WiFi not recognized - HWaddress - Or Any Idea
by Cristian Danciu 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Hello, I recently installed centos7+Gnome on my macbook air , at first start the wireless adaptor , which is the (infamous?) BCMA4360 , seemed to work because I was asked to choose the network and provided password, but thereafter wifi did not appear, so I can connect to the Internet only by cable. Googling a few days and checking on my computer I found the following:- the infamous wifi adapter BCM4360 appears on lshw list- the driver for wifi adapter appears on lsmod list as BCMA, and I also find the driver, bcm-pci-bridge in sys/bus/drivers- i didn't find any file in /etc/sysconfig/network_scripts where the device is bcma wifi adapter, or any wifi. My idea to workaround this is: to create a file in /etc/sysconfig/network_scripts/, in wich i inteded to pass the HWadress of the device(BCMA4360), but I wasn't able to find a way to get this address.If somebody can help me to find a way to get this HWaddr would be very appreciated.Or any ideas to get wifi on my fancy macbook air with centos and no macos at all, because at installation somehow i accomplished the performance to format the entire disk.I also mention that I am not an IT guy, but I want to learn a lot about the linux centos, but first things first : I need wifi. Regards, Cristian

In centos, how to switch to default gcc after switched to a higher version of gcc with devtoolset.
by yf chu 01 Dec '18

01 Dec '18

I want to install several gcc with different versions in centos. The default version of gcc in centos6 is 4.9.3. So I use devtoolset install a higher version of gcc. Then I switch to the higher version of gcc by executing "source /opt/rh/devtoolset-5/enable". But now if I want to switch back to the default gcc, how should I do? By the way, is there any solution to install multiple gcc with different versions in centos 5?

Php script not running
by Jerry Geis 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Hi All, I have centos 7. Apache and php are installed. CGI runs fine - php does not seem to run. I have the /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf file php.conf # # Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension. # <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> # # Allow php to handle Multiviews # AddType text/html .php # # Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory # indexes. # DirectoryIndex index.php # # Uncomment the following lines to allow PHP to pretty-print .phps # files as PHP source code: # #<FilesMatch \.phps$> # SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source #</FilesMatch> # # Apache specific PHP configuration options # those can be override in each configured vhost # php_value session.save_handler "files" php_value session.save_path "/var/lib/php/session" I have: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .php The result is 500 internal server error. everything seems like its setup - I have restarted httpd. These are the PHP that are loaded: rpm -qa | grep php php-common-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 php-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 php-fpm-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 php-cli-5.4.16-45.el7.x86_64 I do not see any reason in any of the httpd/log files just the 500 internal server error returned. If I do the file with the PHP info line <?php phpinfo(); ?> this displays correctly, but my other script does not run. I have checked the permissions on the script and it is executable and owned by the same user my CGI programs are owned that work. What might I be missing? Jerry

[OT] Where to buy S/MIME ??
by Alice Wonder 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

Hi, I'm getting increasingly paranoid. Something I said on a certain social media site several months ago was modified - then reported - then by account was banned until I agreed to delete it. Obviously since what I said was modified I didn't have any issue with deleting it but I want more than just DKIM sigs on my e-mail now. Anyway looking for S/MIME I can use to sign and/or encrypt but mostly sign. Not interested in GnuPG or self-signed S/MIME - I want something that can be trusted because someone else that is trusted actually vouched for me. The "free for personal" S/MIME from Comodo didn't work. Browser said it did but there was nothing to export for me to then import. I suspect it is because I used private browser window, I really don't like the idea of a private key stored in browser anyway. And it never asked for a password to encrypt the private key, nor let me specify key strength (only let me choose between medium and high - I assume high is 4096 but I don't know, it didn't say) Didn't like the "browser generated" process, even if it had worked and generated the final product I could export - I really didn't like the process and have serious questions about the wisdom of a private key without a pass phrase stored in an application that interacts with web sites. Anyway so used openssl to create private key (with aes-256 encryption and pass phrase) and then a CSR. But I can't find anyone who sells certs for S/MIME to send the CSR too. Globalsign but they wanted $89 - no one else. Found a few sites that offered to "send me a quote" that I think were intended for corporate accounts. Where do regular users who just want an inexpensive certificate usable for S/MIME from a CSR generated the traditional way go to buy a cert? -=- Off Topic 2 I'm going to strangle whoever it is at Google that thinks it is a good idea to put so many video results at the top of search results for this kind of thing. I'm really getting sick of how highly ranked videos now are in search engines.
