CentOS 6.10, Epel 4.4.xx kernel, certmonger issue.
by Bill Maltby (C4B) 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Any guidance appreciated. Been running CentoS 6.1 on my stuff in my 1-man office trying to buy time to have some liesure to learn the non inittab/telinit/runlevel stuff as I put up CentOS 8. So, yes I know EOL is upon me but since I've tried to become a user after exiting comp. biz decades ago I no longer stay with the "latest and greatest". Anyway, Have 6.10 up-to-date on a Ryzen 1700 and it run good. Installed the EPEL Nvidia k-mod driver and have been trting the 4.4 series of kernels from EPEL as well. It LOOKs, subjectively, to run much faster than the 2.6.32.xx kernel and, I suspect, will be more compatible with this hardware. Boots and runs non-graphical (runlevel 2) just fine. Problem is when I go to run level five it hangs on certmonger when running the 4.4 kernels. Googled and so form a LONG time agao (10 years maybe?) there had been an issue of hanging at certmonger that was fixed but I never found how it was fixed. Anyone have a cluebat for the clueless how I can get this combination to run? TIA, Bill

Firefox 78 under CentOS 6 -- no sound?
by Robert Heller 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

I did a yum update on my CentOS 6 laptop and it upgraded Firefox to 78, and FF stopped seeing my mic and speakers. Is there some magic I need to do? As a short term (?) fix, I downgraded back to Firefox 68. My system is otherwise up-to-date. -- Robert Heller -- Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller(a)deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services

CentOS 7 update to apache configs
by Jerry Geis 27 Oct '20

Is there a script available that will automatically update the apache configs from CentOS 7 to "pass" the latest "vulnerability scans" by removing the older cyphers like TLSv1.0 protocol: and others that get flagged by vulnerability scans ??? Thanks, Jerry

Network Manager - rotate connection profile
by Frank Cox 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

I wasn't sure what to call this in the subject line, but here's my issue. I have an occasional need to switch a few computers from one Internet provider to a different one. Both Internet providers feed into the same network, one at 192.168.0.1 and the other at 192.168.0.254. So to change from one provider to the other I run nmtui to change the gateway and dns server addresses, then deactivate and reactivate the connection and I'm done. It's just takes a few minutes, but I'm wondering if there's a way to automate this a bit so instead of having to run nmtui and change all of those numbers, then deactivate and reactivate the connection, I could just have each configuration saved as a text file or something, and just tell network manager "use this configuration now until further notice." I could, of course, accomplish this using dhcp and change the dhcp server configurations as needed, but I'd prefer to have all of this stuff stored on each local machine like it is now. That way I could even automate it with a cronjob or something if I wanted to get that efficient. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again? This one has a virus.

@Microknoppix
by Michael Hennebry 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Normally I run Centos 7, but I accidently booted a German Knoppix OS. I'm back to Centos 7, but now my LXterms all have hennebry@Microknoppix on top. WTF? How did that happen? How do I fix it? How do I make it not happen again? What other trouble should I be looking for? I opened a couple LXterms, looked at man pages and ran xrandr as root a few times. Also I ran shutdown a couple times. That's it. I'm rather annoyed at the result. I'm pretty sure Knoppix had to change something it should not even have known about. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

glusterfs 8 rpm missing in Extra for el7
by Giovanni Di Grezia 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hello, I noticed that this link https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage reports an available package called centos-release-gluster8 This package is missing in Extra repo for el7. The general package called centos-release-gluster links instead to the latest version of glusterfs7. Could the general rpm be update to include glusterfs8? I see that the repo is already working here: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?arch=x86_64&release=7&repo=storage-gluster-8 and also here http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/storage/x86_64/gluster-8 So i think, it should be really easy to push the update. Thank you Giovanni Di Grezia - VFX Artist and Software Developer

Hi all, I have a laptop in UEFI mode running CentOS 8.2. All works fine but when I enable Secure Boot, login via gdm is no longer possible. Console login is ok. I found some related discussions over on Ubuntu forums, suggesting that this could be related to 3rd-party kernel modules, such as nvidia. This laptop has only Intel builtin graphics, and every single module installed is part of the CentOS distribution. This is from a file /tmp/xses-.XXXXXX (random 6-char string) xrdb: Can't open display '' xmodmap: unable to open display '' Failed to import environment: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1 /usr/bin/xmbind: Can't open display Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Something is different in the way Xorg is started. In this situation, the first part of the Xorg log file (under ~/.local) is a dump of X command line options. use: X [:<display>] [options] -a # ... -ac ... ...

Missing the old sytle gnome-software in CentOS 8 -- help!
by Kay Schenk 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hello folks -- I recently got a new laptop and installed CentOS8 on it. Yes, it's a learning curve. What I am really upset/disappointed with is the "new" gnome-software application. It doesn't provide nearly the functionaility of the older gnome 3.28 app. Yes, I do know how to list EVERYTHING via the command line but the ease of listing files etc associated with a packages is now gone. Any ideas on a different app, plugins, extensions greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help. -- "DO or DO NOT; there is no try." -- Yoda Kay
