Hello, not a Centos topic perse, but since many had concerns about 'regular' Centos going away, and "Centos Stream" replacing it. This is what I read today, might have been around longer though, don't know. "New Year, new Red Hat Enterprise Linux programs: Easier ways to access RHEL" https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/new-year-new-red-hat-enterprise-linux-progra…

ConfigManagement SIG : removal of old/unmaintained ansible versions (Fabian Arrotin) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2021 13:48:17 +0100 From: Fabian Arrotin <arrfab(a)centos.org> To: "The CentOS developers mailing list." <centos-devel(a)centos.org>, centos-announce(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS-announce] ConfigManagement SIG : removal of old/unmaintained ansible versions Message-ID: <d5ca00f8-6ae8-de4d-45ac-750d4b60f247(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Notification: So far, the ConfigManagement SIG rebuilt and shipped some Ansible versions through different repos (per "branch") over the last months/years , so we currently still have on mirror.centos.org (and so external mirrors) the following repositories : For CentOS 7: - ansible 2.6 - ansible 2.7 - ansible 2.8 - ansible 2.9 For CentOS 8 (also working on 8-stream) : - ansible 2.9 Per Ansible EOL policy (see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_mai…) we'll continue to maintain 2.8 (security fixes if they appear) and 2.9 but we'll remove previous versions/repositories. Worth knowing that they'd still be available through vault.centos.org though, but not available directly through a centos-release-ansible*.rpm (configuring yum/dnf repositories on systems) So far I never had a chance/time to look at ansible 2.10, as there is a split between ansible-base and ansible-core and then collections. My goal would be to discuss with EPEL/Fedora maintainer (Kevin Fenzi) about the best way to have it working and then we can start (re)building through configmanagement tags on https://cbs.centos.org Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce ------------------------------ End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 191, Issue 1 ***********************************************

by Jerry Geis 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi - I am running CentOS 7 I tried to add a custom initrd and custom vmlinux when I run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg the custom files are not listed . when I reboot my entry for /etc/grub.d/40_custom is not listed either. How do I get grub2-mkconfig to recognize my entries ? Is grub2-mkconfig only looking at installed kernels - How do I get it to see mine? Thanks Jerry

Amazon Alexa on CentOS 7 - how?
by Frank Bures 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, I am looking for an app for CentOS that would enable me to control my Alexa compatible devices from my KDE desktop. Currently, I have to use an iPad for that. I found an app called Alexa installable via snap, but it had not been updated since 2017 and I could not find any detailed info about it. Is there an app out there that would allow me to do this? Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>

Samba setup

I'm following https://www.linuxbabe.com/redhat/set-up-samba-server-on-centos-8-rhel-8-for… to set up Samba 4.12.3-12 on my Storinator fileserver running CentOS 8.3. I am trying to share out /tank/Windows/ as a Samba share: # ls -al /tank total 61 drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 7 Dec 26 10:43 Backups drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 6 Dec 4 22:47 Repos drwxrwxrwx. 2 doc doc 4 Dec 28 14:01 VMs drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 2 Jan 17 17:04 Windows My /etc/samba/smb.conf file is set up as follows: # testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions # Global parameters [global] printcap name = cups security = USER idmap config * : backend = tdb cups options = raw hosts allow = 192.168.0 ... [public] comment = public share, no need to enter username and password guest ok = Yes path = /tank/Windows read only = No When I try to map network drive from my Windows 10 PC using the graphical File Explorer, it asks me for my username and password. It doesn't accept my password. When I try to map it at the CMD cli, I get: C:\> net use S: \\192.168.1.20\public\ System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found. Could this be a network browsing problem in Samba? What have I missed? --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL

Telegram on CentOS 7
by H 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Is anyone running Telegram on CentOS 7? I see that it seems to be available as a snap and also in the getpagespeed repository. I try to avoid snap apps but am not familiar with the latter repository. Does anyone have experience with either source for the program?
