Re: [CentOS] resetting a serial port
have never used usb-to-serial devices, so I'm probably wrong here... wondering if, on the system where you work, have you tried using the reset or tset command? otherwise, though *being a Linux user I hate to suggest this*, but have you tried the "universal-fix-all-problems" technique that Windows users learn early on, i.e., reboot one or both systems? rebooting one of the systems then trying to connect may tell you which system is wedged. maybe. Good luck!

Leon, I think you may be right. Was trying to avoid using things like flatpak, but I can see I can't actually do that. Thanks again!

that's what I thought at first, but there is no gimp-devel either
installed, or available.

Re: [CentOS] where is glib-devl x86-64?
well, I'm still confused.
sudo dnf install glib2-devel says it is already installed.
running autogen.sh for resynthesizer outputs:

Re: [CentOS] where is glib-devl x86-64?
I dunno. I guess it could be. Went to the Gimp site and saw that glib-devel was mentioned there. My tired old brain is a bit confused by this, since most other -devel packages put -devel following the program/package name, and gimp doesn't. I'll give that a try, though, to see if it takes care of my issue. Thanks!

[CentOS] where is glib-devl x86-64?
I have a brand new installation of Rocky Linux 9.1 (I know, this isn't a Rocky mailing list, but I can't find anything on this on Rocky forums, etc. so I figured I would ask here), and I installed Gimp, and would like to install the Resynthesizer plugin package. Trying to compile it from source, autogen.sh complains that I don't have the gimp development libraries installed. In fact, I can't find glib-devel anywhere in any of the configured repos (all the default Rocky repos, epel, rpmfusion). Rocky is shipping an unstable development version of Gimp, so maybe they haven't made glib-devel available yet ??? Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Re: [CentOS] Kernel updates do not boot - always boots oldest kernel
I had something like this happen some years ago on a workstation with 2-disk (software/Linux) RAID 1. Turns out one of the disks had been ejected from the raid array. It was that ejected disk that was getting the updates, but since it was no longer in the array it wasn't being booted, but rather the other one that wasn't getting the updates.

Re: [CentOS] C7, removing zoom problem
ah, that's OK for now, as long as it works. I'm trying to build up the courage to do a full system upgrade to Rocky.latest. I hate doing upgrades, it's such a pain in the rear to get everything working again, and get all my tweaks back into place. I despise Gnome 3+, and prefer Mate. Someone (EPEL ??) built Mate for C7, but the existing binaries for C8 don't work very well, there are none that I know of for C9, and AFAIK Rocky is the only Centos clone that supports Mate. there IS Ubuntu Mate, but I am more comfy with RH-derived systems. One thing I won't have to do anymore is set up email (used to have my own domain for email, but moved and can't get a static IP anymore, decided it was too much bother to do the ddns thing) along with POP3 for my wife to use. We now just use gmail. But I see that the time for said upgrade is drawing nearer and nearer.

Guys, I'm trying to update my zoom client and yum (or yumex) won't let me do an update, so I try to remove the installed one, on the theory that if it isn't there I should be able to install a newer one, by doing "sudo yum remove zoom_x86_64" (where my PWD is the directory where the zoom RPM files live) and it tells me "no packages marked for removal.

Re: [CentOS] Recording Levels Audacity 2.3.3
Mark, that is my understanding of how it works on Linux systems. It is assumed that your input source will have a way of adjusting its output. I did a lot of digitizing of phonograph records a couple years ago, and found that the Pulse Audio Volume Control works for this.

Re: [CentOS] printing on C8S
OK, I've done those commands, and the system thinks it has a printer configured. I had assumed that the everywhere driver meant we'd be using "ipp everywhere", which I had assumed meant I would NOT need to install Brother drivers. but send a print job causes no paper to come out of the printer, and I see this in lpstat -t output: $ lpstat -t scheduler is running no system default destination device for DCP7065DN: ///dev/null DCP7065DN accepting requests since Fri 07 Jan 2022 10:46:21 AM EST printer DCP7065DN is idle. enabled since Fri 07 Jan 2022 10:46:21 AM EST File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperDCP7065DN" not available: No such file or directory DCP7065DN-6 fredex 867328 Fri 07 Jan 2022 10:46:21 AM EST which makes me guess I still need the Brother drivers. I can certainly go get them and install them (not as if I hadn't done it before on multiple systems), but I was hoping that "ipp everywhere" would work. [later] I managed to get a working printer by using the Gnome printer configuration tool. but it wasn't fun. I had to install the Brother drivers because 'everywhere' doesn't seem to work with my Brother printer (possibly Brother's fault, I dunno). the gnome printer setup tool is anything but intuitive--despite what the help system says I can't find any way to define the default printer, there's just no option there where help says it should be. when I enter the URI of the printer (ipp://192.168.2.97/ipp) it lists three choices of printers, as far as I can tell, only one of them actually prints anything. but then I shouldn't be surprised at the ugly tool, it fits right in with the rest of the Gnome desktop. Unfortunately, the MATE for Centos-8 seems to be a one-off by a 3rd party, so I can't complain to the Mate community about its lack of a printer config tool (or other tools that don't work). In fact, system-config-printer does seem to exist, but (1) it isn't found in any menu I can find, anywhere, but on disk, if one searches with some diligence, and (2) when I attempt to invoke it "python36 gui.py" it just errors out on me. since I don't know any more about python than it takes to type that command, I don't know how to fix it. I'm guessing it has never been ported to Python 3.x. I'd like to stay with CentOS or other RH-derived distro, but not if I'm forced to use Gnome desktop. Thanks for all the various replies you all sent me!

John, it is a Brother DCP7065DN, on the hardwired network and visible to all the computers here. Actually, I just installed Mate (can't stand that Gnome-thing) but neither it nor Gnome shows any printer config utilities. Barry, I'll check into lpadmin.

Re: [CentOS] how to clear out /var/cache?
well, I removed all the files in the tree under /var/cache/yum/x86_64/7 but left all the directories empty. that got rid of a couple gigs of stuff. among the remains, the only other big one remaining is: 2.3G abrt-di which I won't mess with for now.

Re: [CentOS] how to clear out /var/cache?
Skylar: that's more or less what I've been doing, looking for huge things in /. Kenneth: the latest version of kdirstat appears to now be named qdirstat, no kde bits required. it is certainly a handy way to quickly find the disk space sinks. Thanks for the pointer. but I still don't know the proper way to clear out a lot of this stuff. I certainly don't want to hose my system. It is C7, up to date, and it has been running for at least five years with partitions as they are set now: / is 50 gigs. had a popup message this morning telling me that / was nearly full. found it with 2 gigs free. sounds as if something has been slowly eating away at the space. I could use gparted to rearrange things, making / bigger, but as it has been going for five years, it strikes me that it more likely needs a lot of garbage collection to be done. I've manually cleaned up some detritus, it now reports 3.7G free which should hold me for a little while. So, can anyone advise me on what is and what is not safe to whack/delete from the root partition? Thanks!

Is it safe to just remove files from /var/cache on a running system, or is there a correct procedure for doing that?

running xfs_repair give:
sudo xfs_repair /dev/md40
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
xfs_repair: V1 inodes unsupported. Please try an older xfsprogs.
before proceeding with other experiments, I decided to use dd to create an
image file on my local disk of that partition so I could mess with it with
less chance of trashing the on-disk partition. when attempting to use it, I
get:
sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md41 ./part4.img --run
mdadm: ./part4.img is not a block device.
mdadm: ./part4.img has no superblock - assembly aborted
So, I thought maybe the image had somehow become corrupted, so I did:
sudo md5sum /dev/sdd4
bd7cac3c886e7b3110e28100e119bb82 /dev/sdd4
and
md5sum part4.img
bd7cac3c886e7b3110e28100e119bb82 part4.img
which shows the partition and its disk image to be identical.
Why shouldn't a dd image of a partition work just as well (for my purposes)
as the actual disk partition? I've certainly done this before with EXTn and
NTFS filesystems, is XFS somehow different in this regard?
Do any of you know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

[CentOS] mounting XFS RAID-1 disk partition that needs repair.
I'm attempting to extract data from a HD that has a bunch of linux-raid partitions, including one large one with data I need to save off the disk. I actually have two drives like that (both not from the same RAID pair), and one of them I was successful in creating a MD device so I could mount it RO and copy off a ton of data. the second one fails to mount, saying the XFS filesystem is corrupted. Attempting to run XFS_repair I get a message that the filesystem is XFS-1 and I need an older version of XFS tools to do it. I'm running Centos-7 with whatever version of XFS tools comes with it, according to 'yum list installed' it appears to be xfsprogs 4.5.0-22.el7. I don't particularly want to install another, older, version of xfsprogs on this system. can anyone suggest any other way to gain access to this disk partition? Thanks in advance!

Re: [CentOS] Resize a VM: any risk involved ?
I'm using VirtualBox for a few VMs, the biggest one is a Ubuntu 20.04 that ocassionally grows too small, so I use virtualbox tools to enlarge the disk then boot up something that h as gparted in it and use gparted to stretch/move partitions. Not being familiar with (i.e., not having used) KVM I can't say what's the best way, but it seems to me that gparted would be easier than the steps you described., once you've changed the partition size.

Re: [CentOS] almalinux?
There used to be several RHEL clones too, but many (some??) have dropped by the wayside. I started with TaoLinux, a rebuild of EL6, by basically one guy at a university, because he wanted his own RHEL clone to run at work. when he changed jobs he worked with Johnny to come up with a transition for Taolinux users to turn their systems into CentOS systems. As I understand it, also, Scientific Linux has quit and urges its users to go to Centos (or did, before the big hullabaloo in the CentOS world). there was also Whitebox LInux, but I don't know what ever became of it. So, hopefully those doing rebuilds of 8 will also eventually coalesce into a smaller number, hopefully 1. Fred On Mon, Apr 5, 2021 at 2:31 PM Simon Matter wrote: > > Anyone looked into almalinux?

Re: [CentOS] How to reset the USB subsystem?
from a non-expert (me): possibly figure out what happens when the device is plugged/unplugged and doing that by hand. if you can find the udev file(s) that manage the port(s) that get hung you may be able to figure out what those steps would be. or you could try, when hung, plugging it into a different USB port... some motherboards have multiple USB controllers, so even if one gets wedged tight, the other one(s) shouldn't be. Good Luck!

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
OK, here's where I stand now: 1. I stopped and disabled autofs. (I have 2 SMB filesystems out on the LAN that have also been automounting with autofs, do I need to do similar changes in fstab for them?) 2. yes it has. 3. none I can see. 4. nothing that leaps out at me. there are a couple about /mnt/backup not existing but they appear to be old ones, aren't happening anymore. So, I've made a minor tweak to /etc/fstab, nothing that should matter. rebooted, and when it comes up /mnt/backup is mounted. TWICE, according to the output of mount: $ mount | grep backup systemd-1 on /mnt/backup type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=25,pgrp=1,timeout=900,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=9840) /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/backup type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,stripe=8191,data=ordered) is this really a double mount, or is this what I'm supposed to be seeing? doesn't seem to timeout and auto umount.

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
OK, I think I've got it set up as described here, while fixing the misplaced fields in /etc/fstab: UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup ext4 x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=15min,noauto 0 2 now when I do, e.g., "ls /mnt/backup" I get: $ sudo !! sudo ls /mnt/backup ls: cannot open directory /mnt/backup: No such file or directory if I do: ls /mnt I see: backup use su to become root, then: ls -l /mnt shows: # ls -al total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root0 Jan 2 13:24 . dr-xr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 Jan 2 09:22 .. dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root0 Jan 2 13:24 backup ls backup shows: # ls -al backup ls: cannot open directory backup: No such file or directory why? it clearly appears to exist the FS isn't mounted, but /mnt/backup exists, so it should be visible as an entry directory. also, I can mount it manually: mount UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup and then access it. but it doesn't automount with, e.g. "ls /mnt/backup" or "ls /mnt/backup/backups".

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
Strahil: I WAS using that, but the automatic umount never worked, leaving it mounted all the time. I commented out those entries in /etc/auto.master before modifying the fstab entry: UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup ext4,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=15min noauto 0 2 which is exactly as it was before except for the x-systemd entries as you described. and the peculiar thing is it STILL does not automount. and yes, I did do systemctl restart local-fs.target. do I need to reboot (or something simpler, maybe) to fully disable the auto.master stuff? Thanks again!

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
Yeah, and the instructions for setting RAID-1 or RAID-0 have the switch positions exactly reversed. Strahil: I'm using autofs to automount the unit. but just turned that off and enabled the xsystemd.automount in fstab, we'll see how that works.

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
Warren, thanks for the additional info. I assume that the yottamaster device runs Linux, just like 99% of other such devices. as to whether it uses linux software raid or some cheap (megaraid???) chipset, I don't know, nor know how to tell. but I'll check that URL you sent and see what happens.

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
Warren, thanks for the reply! Plantronics USB headset/microphone? Yottamaster RAID-1 storage (USB3)? Behringer USB audio interface? Logitech wireless mouse? Leopold USB keyboard? Does any one of them sound more likely than the others? Of all those, the yottamaster device is the most recent. Unfortunately I haven't kept notes on when it occurs, so it's possible it was occurring before I got that device. :( If it is that device (used primarily for nightly backups) might it help if I unmount it after each use?

I note that there was a selinux event early in this list of events, but I see those frequently and they normally don't cause a crash. if I scroll upward from this list, I find more of the same above what is shown here. The selinux event seems to be related to a SMB mount. since I have a Synology box on the LAN, and it stays mounted nearly all the time, I suspect the selinux event has something to do with that, but I have no idea why it would cause a crash once every few months. Is that selinux event something I need to fix? I'm further guessing that "xhci_hcd" has something to do with USB, am I right? If so I don't know what it would be...

[CentOS] units command, crazy output
whenever I use the units command from a script, e.g.: elapsed=86500 echo elapsed time: `units "$elapsed sec" hms` elapsed time: *Currency exchange rates from 2012-10-24* 24 hr + 1 min + 40 sec the man page even says it outputs that when run without arguments. My question is why in the world does it? certainly when run from within a script doing conversions of time using the "hms" option, I don't want that to be stuck in the middle of my output. Anybody know why it does that, or how to make it quit? (I know, I use sed to filter it out, but can't understand why I should have to. Thanks in advance!

Re: [CentOS] kindle app on CentOS 7?
Mark: Older version(s), e.g. 1.17 of Kindle for PC worked fine on wine (on my Ubuntu 18.04 VM), but some of the later versions didn't. I was using it for DeDRM, and since I wasn't smart enough to figure out the correct incantation to make later versions work, I chose a different approach. I can tell you what that was if you care. I used Ubuntu because I've never had any luck making things work in Wine on Centos, possibly because RH/Centos only ship 64-bit wine and Calibre and Kindle for PC are 32-bit. There's a (somewhat outdated) HOWTO on Apprentice Alf's blog about doing the kindle on Ubuntu setup that I followed, and it was close enough to let me get it working. I don't have a clue about whether 20.04 is still close enough, or not. Good Luck!

Re: [CentOS] Using CentOS 7 to attempt recovery of failed disk
Well, I'm not a noted expert on ddrescue, but my limited experience tells me that when it hits bad spots (or a big cluster of them) it can go very slowly as it tries multiple times to read each sector (or track, I'm not sure which, in this case). It keeps a list of bad spots and goes back at the end to try again to read something from them. Of course, if you've had, eg. a head crash, there's probably nothing there to read.

Re: [CentOS] Using CentOS 7 to attempt recovery of failed disk
Also, does ddrescue "stop" (as in quit) or is it just stuck there spending a lot of time trying to read one or more bad spots? it is intended to keep trying until it gets something, or gives up and skips to the next track/sector/whatever.

[CentOS] GUI boot failure after latest shim (etc) updates
This isn't the problem everyone else has been talking about, but... I made sure that yum update offered the packages Johnny said it should then updated. when I rebooted everything looked normal except it was taking a long time to bring up the login screen. Flipped over to ALT-F2 and saw a message about waiting for Plymouth boot screen to quit. I waited a while and it went up to (and past) 15 minutes. It said "no limit" so it apparently would have gone on forever. I couldn't get to a text-mode screen with ALT-f[2-6] so I went down to my Linux laptop to see if I could ssh into this box. Lo and behold, ssh worked fine. So I ran top and saw a plymouth (or plymouthd, I forget which) at the top of the list. killed it, came back upstairs and it was no longer spewing that message. now ALT-f2 gave me a text login, that I'm using now. I ran startx and after a long-seeming wait I get a desktop, but it is NOT my normal Mate desktop. Might be Gnome (since I installed a Centos Gnome system and retrofitted Mate from EPEL). Johnny had said we needed to make sure the kernel was installed along with the shim, et al. I looked at the list of files YUM wanted to install and saw some kernel files, so I assumed all was well. But maybe I missed something. What info can I provide to help figure this out? Or, what Kernel files should I force to be (re)installed? Also, I don't very often manually force a kernel install, but I know that some of the files are updates and some are installs, I'd appreciate a reminder of which is which so I can force it.

Sewing machines, I know nothing, not Brother machines anyway. We've had a few different Brother laser printers here (at home) and they've been great. The first one, a HL2070N, when first connected (via USB at that time) caused a popup window (On Centos, probably 5.x) saying brother printer found, do I want to configure it now? I did, and it just worked. Newer ones may require Brother's drivers, but they exist and work. My newer HL-L2360D also works with one of the default CUPS drivers on C7, though I forget which one.

[CentOS] C7, mdadm generating selinux warnings
Hi! I'm getting these frequently. several times I've done the steps listed there to suppress the messages, but I keep getting them. Anyone got a good idea how to deal with this? Thanks in advance! SELinux is preventing mdadm from 'read, open' accesses on the file /var/log/rear/rear-fcshome.log.lockless. * Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests If you want to fix the label. /var/log/rear/rear-fcshome.log.lockless default label should be var_log_t. Then you can run restorecon. The access attempt may have been stopped due to insufficient permissions to access a parent directory in which case try to change the following command accordingly. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/log/rear/rear-fcshome.log.lockless * Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ** If you believe that mdadm should be allowed read open access on the rear-fcshome.log.lockless file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'mdadm' --raw | audit2allow -M my-mdadm # semodule -i my-mdadm.pp Additional Information: Source Contextsystem_u:system_r:mdadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Contextsystem_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0 -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -- Philippians 4:13 --- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Just a personal note here, not at all difinitive: I used to have a Windows 10 VM in Virtualbox (on Centos-7) and the Windows sound sucked. Garbled, distorted, and lots of added noise. Does that seem to be anything like the described "artifacts" ?? I'd guess it's some general issue with Win10 sound, and that MS doesn't "love Linux" enough to actually make it workd in a VM.

A reboot solved it, powering the device off/on made no difference, as did replugging the cable.

It also does a great job removing tape hiss. yes, it still exists. looks like it gets occasionial maintenance. Audacity is a great tool, but (according to stuff I've read on the mailing list/wiki) its noise reduction tool is broken. Using GWC, If I take a few samples of lead-in and/or inter-track "silence" and apply it as a noise reduction filter I get an amazing improvement in playback noise, even on a clean lightly-played disk. I've used both tools for click removal and they both seem to work well. Mostly, I select just the click and minimal space around it and GWC does a great job. (of course, if it's a really noisy old LP then you'd need to run the click filter on the whole thing, but so far the ones I've converted, while being years old, have only been played a handful of times and so sound pretty good with minimal clicks to remove and little distortion due to dirt or wear.

Hi! We're cleaning house, trying to downsize so we can move into a retirement community, so we're finding all sorts of stuff to get rid of. One thing I'm reluctant to throw out is my Multitech MT5600BA V90 modem. I used it for dialup for several years before broadband became available and it was great, stable, and fast. (its predecessor, a much-touted consumer-grade V90 modem was unreliable and not great). I'm thinking we are/were on an unstable copper pair, but the phone company said it was fine. So, anyway, I have this lovely industrial-strength modem I'd like to provide someone, "free to a good home", if anyone has, or knows of anyone who has, a use for a V90 modem. Original packaging (including the floppy-based "drivers" for windoze! :) ) and a printout of the modem manual. Anyone?? Thanks in advance!

I have one of those, too. we use it for "offline" storage, and/or for keeping stuff we want to share amongst the family. what I'm looking at here is replacing an old RAID-1 backup box that's becoming increasingly troublesome, has never worked at usb-3, and its esata connection tends to fail about every other day, so now I'm stuck at usb-2 speeds.

Looking to buy a new usb-attached RAID box for nightly backups, and I see that many of them now support usb 3.1 with UASP. Looking at add-in usb 3.1 cards (my motherboard is probably too old, and only supports usb 3.0) to go with it, but don't know if the old kernel RH/Centos uses supports UASP. Chipset dependent?

I'll certainly be giving that a try in the near future (possibly today). Took a brief look last night, using the USB input and only the input tab shows "monitor" items, but not the output tab. And I'm not sure that my analog input jacks on the computer are working, or at least I've never been able to get them to work (hence the USB audio thingie), though I'll take another whack at it and see if I can see what you describe.

And I'll be doing that again in the not-far-distant future, as I have hundreds of LPs around here, at least some of which I'll want to digitize.

[CentOS] Using Pulse Audio--question
Hi all! This seems to me as if it should be a trivial thing to do, but so far I've wasted a lot of time on it and gotten nowhere: I want to feed audio from a source (ipod, other player) into the audio input on my C7 box via either the phone jack or an external USB sound "card" I have, then I want to play it via the speakers connected to the system. I can find no way to do it with pavucontrol, nor the default mate sound tool. Using pavucontrol and the external USB sound "card" (quote marks because it obviously isn't a "card") I can see the input coming in, but I can't figure any way to send it back out to any output device. I'm not wedded to using pulse for this, I'll use alsa or whatever else can be beaten into submission, I just can't understand why this isn't a normal usage, and why it wouldn't be easy to do. All (on topic) advice gladly received. Thanks in advance! Fred -- --- Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message.

See first attachment. and of course I hit the wrong key so it sent the mail before I was done typing. :( And I apologize, the VBox window in which the system is booting doesn't let me select text for cut and paste, so the best I can do is to either do a screendump and attach it, or to retype what I see (as I've done below). I can probably boot a rescue CD and rebuild initramfs, but the greater question in my mind is why in the world would THREE VMs all go wonky at (AFAICT) the same time? The one that C7-clone was cloned from (C7) dies with: Starting Switch Root... [!!] Failed to load SELinux policy, freezing and does the same thing no matter which kernel I boot. the C8 system goes on for along way and eventually dies with this on the screen: failed to mount RPC Pipe File System. see 'systemctl status var-lib-nfs-rpc=pipefs.mount' for details. then a bunch of OK entries then: [FAILED] Failed to start crash recovery kernel arming. see 'systemctl status kdump.service' for details [FAILED] Failed to start crash recovery kernel arming. see 'systemctl status kdump.service' for details you are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs... Looking at journalctl -xb output there is a TON of stuff that means little-to-nothing to me, but near the end I see this: [1734]: Error /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64 not found. : Starting kdump [FAILED] ... ... --Subject: Unit kdump.service has failed then some more lines of apparently explanatory material, but no errors, except for the last line that says: systemd[1]: Received SIGRTMIN+21 from PID 369 (plymouthd).

I installed C8 with default filesystems, so I'd sorta thunk they would be XFS, so is it legitimate for it to find /boot as ext4? and even so, why would ext4 not be a legitimate FS type?

Hi all! I have several VMs, all in virtualbox 6.0.14 and all the VBOX add-ons are up to date. I don't use them daily, last used any of them probably 4-6 weeks ago, pretty sure it was already running 6.0.14 by that time. they were all fine when last used. Two of them are C7, one is a clone of the other, and the other is C8. each seems to have different symptoms. the C7 clone claims there is no initramfs, no matter which kernel I try to boot.

Yes. Verify that selinux is not blocking the incoming connection from windows. I've had that problem in the past and it's a pain. For testing purposes only, on the linux system(s) that reject windows SMB connection attempts, issue "setenforce 0" and see if it then works. If it does then work, reset that setting to "setenforce 1" (you don't want to leave selinux disabled) then look in /var/logs to see if you can find a log of the failure. If you can find the selinux record for the failure it should tell you how to apply a work-around for that specific issue, so you do not need to totally disable selinux. this page may prove helpful: https://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/linux/administration-linux/troubleshooting-selinux-centos-red-hat/ Good luck! -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." --- Corinthians 5:21 - ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Much simpler is to do this: linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1 is the brother printer driver installer I used on my HL-L2360D. it asks a few questions, some more cryptic than others, and then downloads and installes the required packages, after which I ran the system-config-printer tool and set up my printer. Voila! As I also said previously in this thread, I set up the same printer on Centos-8 without installing any Brother drivers, by going direct to CUPS on port 631 and selecting Brother 2460 (since it didn't offer 2360). Here are two entries from /etc/cups/printers.conf: MakeModel Brother HL-2460 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.14 DeviceURI ipp://192.168.2.98:631/ipp (That's the printer's IP shown there, not the system being set up.) and it appears to work fine, for small numbers of pages printed, but it does print double-sided and multi-page documents. I don't know of any reason why this would not work on C7 as well, though I haven't tried it, so YMMV and all that. If you can back out all the stuff you've hacked, I suggest you try one or the other of those. Since the CUPS setup is probably simpler and/or less invasive, I'd try that first, were I you. Good luck!

That is just something I don't feel like doing. I'm not against change, but the changes in Gnome 3 seemed to me to be needlessly adding pain and difficulty to what had been a perfectly usable desktop. Every time I install a new CentOS I grit my teeth at having to remember/figure out enough of it to get me thru to the point where I can use a friendly UI. Yes, I should stop being a luddite and learn it. but, y'know, I just can't bring myself to deal with the pain. As a geezer, I guess I'm kinda set in my ways. :) Just to get the Mate installed on C8 (as was posted here recently where/how to do it) was more pain that I enjoyed going through. Now, I'm sure there are simple solutions to these issues, but I just don't want to have to stop what I'm doing to google for them... anyway, I had firefox open and wanted a terminal window. couldn't figure out how to set it up so I could see both at the same time. Once I maximized FF I couldn't figure out how to get it to not eat the entire screen--no clicky buttons on the top-right of the window, so I ended up using the left-most item at the top of the window (forget what it is named...) to choose which window I wanted in front. tedious but livable. but now I don't have to do that 'cause Mate works great! And thanks to you, Johnny, and your companions/associates for all the many YEARS of work you've all put in on CentOS.
