Re: [CentOS] Upgrade to 8.4 .2105 Problems
I noticed in journalctl that gnome-shell was core dumping. yum reinstall gnome-shell fixed my displays problem. So I am back to my first premise that the 'yum update' did not complete properly for some reason. Is there any way I can check the integrity of the packages installed? What could cause 'yum upgrade' to say 'Nothing to do' and not install the latest 305 kernel?

[CentOS] Prevent a particular kernel from being deleted
Somewhat related to my inquiry earlier today about the disappearing sound card, I just got to wondering if there's a way to "pin" the kernel that works with the soundcard such that it won't be deleted with future updates until and unless there's a future kernel released that solves the sound card issue. "dnf versionlock" appears to almost do what I want, but it just locks a package to a particular version and doesn't allow it to be upgraded past that. I'd like to be able to install updated kernels as they are released, but somehow tell dnf to never delete kernel version 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64. In the normal course of events that kernel would be deleted after a certain number of kernels are installed afterward (as specified by the installonly_limit number in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. So is there a way to tell dnf to update kernels in the usual manner but always keep a certain installed version until otherwise instructed? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Upgrade to 8.4 .2105 Problems

[CentOS] Sound card disappears on Acer laptop with latest kernel
4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64 Sound works as expected. 4.18.0-305.3.1.el8.x86_64 only "dummy output" shows up under the Sound Preferences on the desktop. I guess there's a kernel bug somewhere that's causing the driver for that soundcard to not load? The lshw command (when running kernel subversion 240.22.1, i.e. the "old kernel") tells me that it has this soundcard: *-multimedia description: Multimedia audio controller product: Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 1f.3 bus info: pci@:00:1f.3 logical name: card0 logical name: /dev/snd/controlC0 logical name: /dev/snd/hwC0D0 logical name: /dev/snd/hwC0D2 logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D10p logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D2c logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D7p logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D8p logical name: /dev/snd/pcmC0D9p version: 21 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=32 resources: irq:128 memory:df1a8000-df1abfff memory:df18-df18 -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Today's Topics: 1. Announcing the latest release of CentOS Linux 8 (2105) (Rich Bowen) -- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2021 16:52:37 -0400 From: Rich Bowen To: centos-annou...@centos.org, "The CentOS developers mailing list." Subject: [CentOS-announce] Announcing the latest release of CentOS Linux 8 (2105) Message-ID: <8d631d5c-8df9-fec9-82fe-ee27b45be...@redhat.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Release for CentOS Linux 8 (2105) We are pleased to announce the general availability of the latest version of CentOS Linux 8. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 8 and is tagged as 2105, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Source Code. As always, read through the Release Notes at: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.2105 - these notes contain important information about the release and details about some of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from users. -- Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos Updates released since the upstream release are all posted, across all architectures. We strongly recommend every user apply all updates, including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 8 machine by just running 'dnf update'. As with all CentOS Linux 8 components, this release was built from sources hosted at git.centos.org. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync command available in the yum/dnf-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at: http://wiki.centos.org/Sources Debuginfo packages have been signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install. This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS Linux 8, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to handle stale content is included in the Release Notes. Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same applications are trim'd off from repos like extras/ and centosplus/ -- Download We produced the following installer images for CentOS Linux 8 # CentOS-8.4.2105-aarch64-boot.iso: 677838848 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.4.2105-aarch64-boot.iso) = 106d9ce13076441c52dc38c95e9977a83f28a4c1ce88baa10412c1e3cc9b2a2b # CentOS-8.4.2105-aarch64-dvd1.iso: 7325042688 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.4.2105-aarch64-dvd1.iso) = 6654112602beec7f6b5c134f28cf6b77aedc05b2a7ece2656dacf477f77c81df # CentOS-8.4.2105-ppc64le-boot.iso: 722780160 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.4.2105-ppc64le-boot.iso) = 4a83e12f56334132c3040491e5894e01dfe5373793e73f532c859b958aeeb900 # CentOS-8.4.2105-ppc64le-dvd1.iso: 8484990976 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.4.2105-ppc64le-dvd1.iso) = 9cfca292a59a45bdb1737019a6ac0383e0a674a415e7c0634262d66884a47d01 # CentOS-8.4.2105-x86_64-boot.iso: 758120448 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.4.2105-x86_64-boot.iso) = c79921e24d472144d8f36a0d5f409b12bd016d9d7d022fd703563973ca9c375c # CentOS-8.4.2105-x86_64-dvd1.iso: 9928966144 bytes SHA256 (CentOS-8.4.2105-x86_64-dvd1.iso) = 0394ecfa994db75efc1413207d2e5ac67af4f6685b3b896e2837c682221fd6b2 Information for the torrent files and sums are available at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/isos/ Additional Images Vagrant and Generic Cloud images are available at: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/8/ Amazon Machine Images for Amazon Web Services are published by ID into a number of regions.
