Host: CentOS 7.7, virtualisation through KVM and qemu. Pretty standard, straight out of the box. I just used VMM to run up another VM and installed into it.

I feel your pain re Gnome.

Installing CentOS 8 on a VMware VM which uses BIOS boot mode using the graphical installer results in an installer gui which is chopped off at the right.

Workaround is to select the install option, hit the tab key, and append vga=819 and hit F10, which starts the graphical installer on a larger virtual display.

Or, better still, use EFI boot mode for your VM, and it all just works.

Make sure that the VMware virtual VGA adapter has enough RAM, too.

Cheers,

Phil

I had fun with that - enter any number you like, if it's not valid it will prompt you with suggestions.

It seems to want decimal on the commandline, hex if responding to the prompt.

Sorry to ask this dumb question, but what’s the disadvantage of using such a kernel?

I assume, some of the newer kernel-features would need special utilities or upgraded versions of the utilities included?

It's not a RHEL (or CentOS) kernel so you lose the stability (kABI), robustness, testing etc that comes with an Enterprise Linux kernel. Additionally, as you correctly identify it may break things or not work / play well with current userland bits.

It's a use at your own risk offering to allow you to try out features / functionality that have yet to appear in the distro kernel :-)

I want to ask this question too.

Did you try SCL instead of directly installing packages from another repo? It is similar to how the new Appstreams allow multiple concurrent versions.

I'm waiting for blogs and "youtubs" to report on appstream and what I could install from Fedora maybe. I have more confidence in Fedora repos than epel, since the latter is usually rebuild Fedora packages anyway.

EPEL is a Fedora SIG project.

What are orphaned packages?

Yeah, I know, but I saw pretty much orphaned packages, made by people who do not use packaged software, nor CentOS.

That is a term for a package in the repo (and generally for any project), that is technically working, but no one is watching over it. Some maintainers speak openly about it, but some do not and a package is still in the repo, but do not receive updates, nor fixes.

Good evening from Singapore,

Anybody downloaded, installed, and tried CentOS 8.0 1905 yet?

I'm trying it right now. I pleasantly discover PHP 7.2 with fpm and Python 3.6, which is exactly what I installed from 3rd party repositories in Centos 7 on my vps. I will test upgrade from C7 to disable epel and webtatic. I'm waiting for blogs and "youtubs" to report on appstream and what I could install from Fedora maybe. I have more confidence in Fedora repos than epel, since the latter is usually rebuild Fedora packages anyway.
