SEcontext setting failure on an external harddisk
by H 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

I tried moving a PosgreSQL database to an external harddisk due to lack of space on the main harddisks. Not the ideal solution of course but it should work. However, on CentOS 7 the external harddisk is mounted under /run/media and the user. I copied the postgresql database directory and made sure it is owned recursively by postgres, changed the necessary settings in both the systemd unit and the conf file. After that, updating the selinux contexts is required but that fails on the external disk due to a conflict which I understand is due it is under /run/media and the user. semanage fcontext kicked back an error message suggesting I try setting it for /var/run/media etc instead which works but restorecon -Rv for that directory fails to set the context which I can check with ls -lZ. Does anyone know how I can get around this? Is there an inherent conflict because it is mounted under a specific user despite the postgresql directory is owned by postgres? If so, should I mount it under eg /opt/ instead? Would that make a difference? Or, can I "force" a new context on the postgres directory tree some other way? Thanks!

Invisible files and disk space
by centos2＠foxengines.net 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Hi All, I have an older CentOS 7.4 system that is used for computationally heavy work. It has a 32G root filesystem, of which 33% is consumed. Lately, one particular set of jobs (run through the SGE batch scheduler) seems to cause a peculiar condition to occur in which the root filesystem space is exhausted but I can't find any files that I can use to identify which process is causing the problem. I'm guessing that the problem is being triggered by a certain set of jobs since it only occurs when those jobs are running. I would like to identify what the process is that is causing this condition to occur and my standard approach is to identify which files are using the otherwise empty space and then identify which process is using the files. It's not working, I haven't been able to identify the files. They aren't there. All attempts to measure disk usage of / by files shows that the disk usage is only a percentage of available space and that there should be space available. I know that space can be consumed by deleted files for which file handles are still open, not visible by ls but detectable but by using techniques like: lsof | grep deleted and for sizing find /proc/*/fd -ls 2>/dev/null | grep '(deleted)' | \ sed 's!.*\(/proc[^ ]*\).*!\1!' | xargs wc -c | sort -nr Applying this technique during one of these episodes shows nothing of interest. I'm definitely missing something. Are there any other techniques for identifying other "invisible" files that I can look for? Thanks in advance for any advice.

how to use intel UHD 630 display driver on CentOS 7.8?
by ckim＠etri.re.kr 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hello all, I just installed CentOS 7.8 on ASRock B460M Pro4 board. CPU is i5-10400. The display device is inside the CPU and the max resolution is 4096x2160 for HDMI. But when I connect my small screen (max full HD), the display resolution is only 800x600. >From seeing some info here, I installed EPEL for yum, and inxi. The "inxi -G" command's output is like this : Graphics: Device-1: Intel driver: N/A Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: vesa unloaded: fbdev,modesetting resolution: 800x600~75Hz OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 7.0 256 bits) v: 2.1 Mesa 18.3.4 So there is no intel driver and the vesa fall back driver is being used. I tried adding i915.alpha_support=1 in grub.cfg (https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3410491) (so that i915 fall-back driver can be used) but it was the same. The intel site only provides driver for windows. Could anyone give me some advice? (the board/cpu has no display problem when using CentOS 8.2) Thanks for reading. Chan Kim

Centos 7.7 and ATI driver
by H 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

As you have seen in another message I have a failed system after an update from 7.5. I /think/ the issue might be with the ATI driver which seems to fail to load a framebuffer in Xorg.0.log. Is anyone successfully running a Radeon graphics card on 7.7? If so, might you share any issues and solutions? Thanks.

strange email from cron regarding "rear"
by Fred 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

I don't understand what this means, I found it in root's email this morning: To log into the recovery system via ssh set up /root/.ssh/authorized_keys or specify SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD WARNING: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/moddep.lst not found, grub2-mkimage will likely fail. Please install the grub2-efi-x64-modules package to fix this. ERROR: Error occurred during grub2-mkimage of BOOTX64.efi Aborting due to an error, check /var/log/rear/rear-fcshome.log for details /bin/sh: line 1: 30339 Terminated /usr/sbin/rear mkrescue It is possible it has happened before, as until recently I haven't paid a lot of attention to root's email (I know, I know,... bad me). but I wonder what it's all about... I have not knowingly ever used "rear" or "mkrescue". BTW, this is on an up to date Centos-7 X86-64 machine. Thanks in advance! Fred

How to solve missing net-snmp-perl?
by Andre Herms 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hello, Since Centos 8.2 the net-snmp-perl RPM seems missing. I already found a bug ticket https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17408 It looks like the package should actually be available in AppStream. But for some reason it's not. The package stuff at https://git.centos.org/rpms/net-snmp.git look like before. The RPM file should be generated. Now I wonder, how does the Centos infrastructure decide, which RPM to include into the repository? When it's based on the tags, shouln't the net-snmp-perl RPM be included together with the other RPMs? I already studied the public available documation of the build system. But I couldn't get the information I need. Any hint for me? Thanks.

You may want to look into git.centos.org. For example, spec file diff for the latest C7 kernel update can be seen here: https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel/c/c53828b00fb26a7f96b149eef5e220a5ed4cc4… Akemi

[CentOS7] cups, cups-browsed
by Patrick Bégou 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Hi, I have a strange problem on one laptop with cups in CentOS7, all updates applied. Sometime, the lpstat -t command returns "No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer" and asks if cups-browsed is running. Nonetheless cups-browsed is running and is configured. Restarting cups-browsed does not help so the problem is not related to cups-browsed . The solution is to manually restart cups service But, the user has no root access on his laptop (it is not allowed in our professional environment) so the only work-around would be a cron task. But this is a work-around, not a solution to this problem. Did someone encounter this behavior and found the solution ? Could it be related to swiching from Wifi (at home) to wired network (at workplace)? I have several laptops, all installed with the same kickstart file via PXE boot and cups running fine. All are DELL computers except this one which is a HP ZBook. Thanks Patrick
