There is a Tokyo Linux list that has been around since the 90's I think. They wound up creating a second list, just for questions that were relevant to Tokyo, but not to Linux, such as Japanese language questions. It worked quite well, and is still in use, though that list too has slowed down quite a bit in recent years. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Challenging times in trying to access oracle Linux documentation
Sorry about top posting. Though I can understand Jonathan’s feelings, I am with Frank on this subject. So, I will keep participating in “non-CentOS” discussions which may be useful to CentOS refugees, until I’m kicked out of the list, or such discussions become forcefully banned. As this - CentOS list - is the only place where all CentOS refugees may be present, and those fled to one distro may bring information helpful for those fled to different distro, and most logical place for it is this very list. To CentOS fanats: I do understand your feelings. But try to understand those who had to flee CentOS because of CentOS’s (or RedHat’s, or IBM’s) recent decision. You only need to tolerate this for about a year at the most, this inappropriate in your view thing will fade out on its own. Former happy CentOS user (for over decade and a half) who still supports a bunch of CentOS number crunchers, - till EOL of respective release numbers.

That’s a poor argument, you’re basically telling people that you can post about any topic unrelated to CentOS, and people can just read the CentOS related ones. 1.) you assume people will clearly label their off topic threads and 2.) as we’ve seen, those off topic threads often weave in and out of on-topic threads until a moderator tells you to take it to another venue. You’ll dilute the usefulness of this list to the point that it will be worthless for people who are interested in CentOS topics. You want a generic rhel clone list? Create one and post an announcement about it. If you want to talk about Rocky or Oracle Linux, use their lists. This list is for CentOS. I’m not thrilled with the direction CentOS is going, but I’m not going to poison the wells and salt the earth. The CentOS list has value for on topic conversation. > Again, Centos/Rocky/Oracle all share a similar-to-identical codebase, so most > of what's applicable to one will likely be applicable to all so I don't see > it as being a big deal. Perhaps there are going to be similar codebases, but the infrastructure and politics around each will vary widely. If you have a question that is codebase specific, then just ask it without talking about the distro it came from, but as soon as it becomes clear that it is infrastructure related, keep it on the appropriate list. — Jonathan Billings ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Resizing a QEMU guest display
Hello everyone - I think I know the answer, but just in case ... I want to run it by the experts. I have a machines running CentOS 7. "uname -a" returns this: Linux practice7.billgee.local 3.10.0-1160.15.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 3 15:06:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86 _64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This machine has an nVidia GS8400 and uses the nouveau driver. Its main job is to be a host for QEMU/KVM virtual machines. The QEMU packages on the host are: [bgee@practice7 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep qemu qemu-kvm-1.5.3-175.el7_9.3.x86_64 qemu-guest-agent-2.12.0-3.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-common-1.5.3-175.el7_9.3.x86_64 qemu-img-1.5.3-175.el7_9.3.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-4.5.0-36.el7_9.3.x86_64 ipxe-roms-qemu-20180825-3.git133f4c.el7.noarch One of the guest VMs is Fedora 33. The guest comes up with a display resolution of 1024x768. I have not found a way to change it to something higher. If I go to the Settings - Display item in Fedora, there is a long list of resolutions. No matter what I choose, the system will switch to that resolution for about 1/2 second and then go back to 1024x768. This happens when using VNC to connect remotely and also when running on the host computer. Resizing the guest display window does nothing except make big black borders around the guest display. The guest video configuration in the virtual machine manager is set for "QXL". In my searching I found several suggestions to use "virtio" instead. When I make that change and start the guest, it immediately throws an error: "This QEMU does not support 'virtio' video device" I also tried "vmvga" and "cirrus". The cirrus setting does not resize and also loses coordination of the mouse pointer. The vmvga setting gives the same message about not being supported in this QEMU. I verified that the spice-vdagent package is installed on the guest VM. The virtual machine manager has "Resize guest with window" set to ON. Just to make life really interesting... Another guest VM on the same host is running CentOS7. That machine happily resizes! It is set for QXL in the virtual machine manager. I think I am just out of luck. I found some references which say that CentOS 7 does not have support for virtio displays. Is that right? Is there some way to resize the Fedora guest? I don't care about dynamic sizing by dragging a window border. If I can choose something and have it stick, I would be happy.

Idid searching and those issues > dont seem to relate to my case. Hi Jerry, you need to explore the configuration files. They are in .getssl/getssl.cfg and .getssl//getssl.cfg First, in .getssl//getssl.cfg you need to tell it where to copy the certificate and key for the web server. They should match what you have in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf Here are my entries as an example: # Location for all your certs, these can either be on the server (full path name) # or using ssh /sftp as for the ACL DOMAIN_CERT_LOCATION="/etc/pki/tls/certs/your.domain.name.crt" # this is domain cert DOMAIN_KEY_LOCATION="/etc/pki/tls/private/your.domain.name.key" # this is domain key CA_CERT_LOCATION="/etc/pki/tls/certs/chain.crt" # this is CA cert Then secondly, in the global config .getssl/getssl.cfg you need to tell it how to restart the web server to pick up the new certs, which it will do before testing whether the new certificate is served correctly: # The command needed to reload apache / nginx or whatever you use RELOAD_CMD="/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful" I think these are the only changes I made from the defaults.
