Re: [CentOS] ls permissions format changed in CentOS 8

[Kenneth Porter]

It's not a ls bug. I've stepped through the code with gdb and it looks just 
fine. At this point I think Epsilon (a 32-bit app) is corrupting the image 
of its child process in a strange way. I'm working with the author at 
Lugaru (who's very responsive) to track it down. He couldn't reproduce it 
right away. I just reproduced it on a virgin CentOS 8 image at Linode with 
utterly no modifications. I just spun up the VM, logged in, scp'd the 
Epsilon RPM, dnf installed it, and demonstrated the issue.


I extracted the formatting code from the ls source to create a short test 
program that doesn't rely on anything external like a file's actual modes. 
It's just the code that builds the string from the mode word. It looks like 
it mysteriously skips the middle of the routine for no reason when spawned 
either as a grandchild through bash or directly via whatever Epsilon uses 
to spawn a child process.


It's definitely a spooky Halloween bug!

It is good to do re-installs regularly to avoid problems like whatever
file-system in Fedora N does not work with containers (or some other
new feature).. but the Fedora N+1 filesystem does. You can only get
that availability by reinstalling or creating a new file-system which
you put stuff into... so in many ways a fresh install is usually good
to do every 4-6 releases so that you aren't debugging 'why doesn't
this new utility work'

You probably need to install the firmware.  Which is probably in a separate

Lugaru Epsilon? I think you need to give a lot more explanation on
what is going on because I (at least) have no idea how you are using a
non-shipped text editor .

Usually if a tool is not giving similar results... I usually start by
setting up a new account and unset all SHELL variables in said
account. I then see if the problem occurs. If it doesn't, I make
changes one by one from the other shells variables to see if it does.

Yes, though I do a re-install every few updates, to spring clean or update

You should be just fine with CentOS for most cases. Check out the new Fedora
Toolbox command ('toolbox') — this makes it super-easy to launch and
maintain "pet" containers using podman, and you could use this to provide a
Fedora working environment for when you need newer stuff. (Or conversely
people running a Fedora OS can do the opposite with a CentOS container.)

A source package for texinfo exists here:

Another missing dependency is 'perl(Unicode::EastAsianWidth)'. dnf can't

I would file the bug even if you get it working.  Otherwise, as it stands
RH is saying get this machine, it works, and it doesn't.  

There do seem to be workarounds, such as a newer kernel or the stream
kernel, and I don't know how close CentOS-8 is to RH-8, but as it is, if
was running CentOS-8 I'd expect it to work out of the box and it doesn't.

So, for the sake of the next person with $1200 to spend on a laptop, tell
them. Maybe someone will save the money and spend it on something that
actually does work out of the box.

(overly fed up with manufactures putting out incorrect compatibility lists,
and will definitely feel silly if someone says, naw, worked out of the box
for me with RH-8)
