Re: [CentOS] how to run CentOS 8.2 under new WSL2?
Okay, so there are a few things here. We (the CentOS Project) don't currently publish anything that's easily consumable into WSL2 on the mirrors or download pages. That's probably something we should address, or at least talk about fixing. I can provide some directions below, but they're very rough as I only started experimenting with this last night once I saw your email. First, create a directory on your windows system where you're going to store your custom distro. I used C:\distros but you can use whatever makes sense to you. Second, you're going to need something that can understand the xz archive format that's used these days rather than the older gz style. 7zip should do this fine, or optionally the tools straight from the project/author - https://tukaani.org/xz/ Next, you'll want to pull the tarball we use to publish images to the dockerhub. We use versions branches in this repo, so you pick what you want. Here's the one for CentOS 8 currently -> https://github.com/CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-images/blob/CentOS-8-x86_64/docker/centos-8-x86_64.tar.xz (Advanced users can make their own tarballs here with livemedia-creator or whatever is preferred) Uncompress this archive, but don't unpack it. You want to end up with CentOS-8-x86_64.tar >From there, fire up a command prompt (Windows Terminal, cmd, powershell, whatever). You can import this into wsl2 by running: wsl.exe --import CentOS C:\distros\CentOS \path\to\CentOS-8-x86_64.tar At this point you're "done" but it's not quite there. if you want to stop here, you can simply run: wsl.exe -d CentOS It'll work but you'll be running as root. If you want to add your user, set up sudo, things like that you need to do a bit more. wsl.exe -d CentOS # to run it as root useradd yourusername dnf -y update dnf -y install sudo # and whatever else you want id -u yourusername # this is probably 1000 visudo # give your new user sudo access otherwise you'll lock yourself out. Now, at this point I don't know an easy way to find the GUID of the custom distro. I cheated and used the value from Windows Terminal's json config file. Take that GUID and your user's UID and fire up regedit to set your user as the default. You'll want to look at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss\$DISTRO_GUID and set DefaultUid as a REG_DWORD to your user's uid (typically 1000). That's as far as I've taken things so anything you want to do after this you're kinda on your own.

The functionality should be available, but we don't provide patches in this way, no. What would it take to make this happen? This would be a huge help to those of us running servers. Not to mention it would make the world a more secure place :) The short answer is "a team of kernel engineers, which we don't have". Smooge's overview which I've left below is great at explaining some of this: Is it an upstream issue? No SRPMS available? Etc? It's quite a bit more work than just SRPM (re) building. This is one of those things where if your workflow requires this functionality rather than the occasional reboot you should really just pay for RHEL. They put far more people and testing behind this feature than the team building CentOS is able to. (DISCLAIMER: I work for RH, so that may not sound as true as it is) Just trying to understand. I don't follow the centos-devel list. Has this been discussed there, or elsewhere? There is a lot to go into making a correct kpatch. You have to determine that you have a working kpatch (you can have one which works on 1% and corrupts 80% and crashes 19%), you have to determine that the patch fixes the problem (you can build patches which should do the right thing but don't), and you have to determine that it doesn't add in some sort of long term corruption of memory/disk/etc. That takes specialized kernel expertise, a large amount of varied hardware to test the patch on, some amount of time, and a very large test suite. You can also only live patch a system so many times and in only certain places. There are just some parts of the kernel which have to be rebooted and others you can put in a patch which works but your performance is going to be 25% of what it was before. There are other places that if you patch.. that is it.. try another and you hardlock. As much as some sites like to call it some sort of panacea for never having to reboot again.. it is really meant to be a tourniquet to air chopter the crash victim to a hospital. They may still not make it... you are just giving them a chance. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] XPS 13 9370 / CentOS compat
I had reasonably unreliable performance with that particular chip(sometimes wireless wouldn't wake up from sleep and I'd have to reboot), and ended up replacing it with an intel 8265 chip.

But is that a good idea? Not really. Ultimately this is what the scheduler itself is meant to be doing. What you've described is what the 'balanced' profile actually does. For server users, I'd say it's a set it and forget it thing. Laptop users who want performance when plugged in on AC, and powersave when on battery...

To give you a proper answer, I'd need to know if you're looking for 64bit arm (aarch64/arm64) support or 32bit armhfp support. Assuming 64bit, we support Applied Micro's X-Gene family of processors, Cavium's ThunderX, as well as Qualcomm's QDF 24xx line. We maintain support for the AMD Seattle SoC as well, but that doesn't appear to be getting updates that I know of.

Re: [CentOS-docs] discussions around upstream documentation
The Fedora team is working on moving away from docbook and xml to asciidoc. This is a more straightforward approach in the file, with a reasonably easy syntax to learn. This will let us keep docs in git so that users who find something and want to fix it can simply submit a pull request or patch to update and someone responsible can approve or deny it. In the future, it means that non-wiki docs should be easily consumable and editable. That doesn't help us for the current state of documentation, but it does help to resolve things for the future. I'm still working on the state of the existing docs via a few contacts I made at the docs day.

Actually that's sort of the same workflow for git docs within some systems. You can have an 'edit' button, and make changes. If you have write access, your changes get merged immediately.

This is mostly correct, and I worded the initial bit improperly. The FAD meeting is specifically about 'official' documentation, which needs a more formal structure, and a massive update. That very likely will be git based because that's how upstream is working, both on the RHEL side and Fedora. We can *add* to or correct the documentation we get within that workflow. My thinking was that we could bring some (or all) of the wiki content into that new structure, rather than pointing people to multiple locations for docs, but that doesn't have to happen. They can absolutely each be standalone/complimentary resources. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
[CentOS-docs] discussions around upstream documentation
There is a Fedora Activity Day (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Documentation_2016 ) centered around documentation, where I'm going to see what can be done about the state of centos documentation from upstream sources. Most of the tooling for documentation for these two groups is centered around git. For the most part, our documentation currently lives in the wiki, and has a fairly high barrier to new contributors. Would the regulars who contribute on the wiki consider consider supporting a migration to a git based documentation workflow? I think this would help lower the barrier to contribution by allowing new contributors to submit a pull request or patch for documentation rather than join a mailing list, request access, etc. What are the thoughts or concerns about this sort of workflow change? -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Re: [CentOS] yum errors
It should be looking at /6/ instead of a specific point release. We (CentOS) do not provide updates for individual point releases. You are several years behind in security and bug-fix updates. Once a specific minor version is expired, it is moved off the main mirrors and into the vault. The current iteration of the /6/ tree is 6.7, so everything below that is no longer available on the mirrors. Have you modified your repository files or are they stock? I might suggest starting off with a 'yum clean all', then running your query again. On 11/20/2015 11:21 AM, Wes James wrote: > I have inherited centos 6.3 and 6.2 vms in an esxi environment.

[CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS 7 on AArch64
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 We would like to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 for AArch64 compatible machines. This is the first major release of CentOS Linux 7 for ARM/AArch64 produced by the AltArch Special Interest Group. This release uses a 3.19 based kernel as well as incorporating fixes and updates provided through-out the beta process. This release is built from sources available at git.centos.org from the c7, c7-ppc64le, and c7-aarch64 branches. Installation This release provides media for a network install, as well as an Everything ISO that can be used for USB based installation if desired. This ISO is currently too large for standard DVD media, and so is best used via USB media. Additionally, a compressed disk image has been provided for rapid deployments of a development environment.

We are pleased to announce the second public beta release of CentOS Linux 7 for the AArch64 platform. This release contains fixes and code updates provided in the RHELSA source code recently published to git.centos.org as well as rolling previous updates into the installer. We intend to have a 'Gold' release very soon unless a blocker bugs are reported, so please test this release. Improvements since the initial Beta === The 4.1rc kernel has been removed in favor of the 3.19 kernel as it contains some additional functionality by default. The 4.x kernel will be available later as a -plus kernel. Installation/Everything ISO is now available. We're currently offering an Everything ISO that can be used for usb based installation if desired. This iso is currently too large for standard DVD media, and so is best used via usb media. Many updated packages, including core packages likebzip2, dbus, grub2, libaio, and more.

[CentOS-announce] CentOS-7 beta candidate for AArch64 platforms
We are pleased to announce the public beta release of CentOS Linux 7 for AArch64 compatible hardware. We've addressed a number of issues discovered from the previous 2 weeks of alpha testing, and feel that the release is stable enough to transition to beta. Improvements from Alpha === Improved package selection: A number of additional packages have been added, including libreoffice, evolution, abrt, and more. Updated kernel: Some non-fatal kernel errors have been address by moving to a 4.1rc based kernel version. This also adds ACPI functionality to the platform. Improved Group selection: The installer now offers a larger group selection from the previous minimal-only install. Installation Installation guides and documentation will be provided via the CentOS wiki, at http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64 Download The full (unsigned) install tree is available at http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/aarch64/ Contributing The AArch64 effort is meant to be a community effort as part of the AltArch SIG (http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch), and we welcome enthusiasts and vendors to contribute patches, fixes, documentation, etc. In the AArch64 Extras repository, we have provided the mock package and dependencies so that community members can more easily contribute, as well as testing their own builds locally.

This renders yum and several other system tools non-functional. Does this still hold? It seems to me a bit pointless to offer a tool with the warning that it does not work. It is not pointless, some people want to do it. I would not use it. First of all, thank you very much, Johnny, for all your work. You are doing a fantastic job. However, I find your answer here a little odd. It's a bit like the surgeon saying, I wouldn't have this operation, but if you want it just lie back. That's not far from the truth. Upstream, this tool supports a very limited scope, and has a rather substantial pre-upgrade test to determine how feasible it is. Since we don't differentiate between Server, Workstation, etc it's a bit more interesting for us to say yeah sure you can totally run this. If you add 3rd party packages into the mix, it gets even crazier. The best way to do any major update is to backup your data, install the OS, bring back your data and make all the newer services (if you are moving things like databases or web directories, etc.). Some people want to take shortcuts to this procedure, and with enough effort, that tool can work. But to me, there is too much effort and there are too many older packages left around as clutter, so I would never do it. If it would take you a lot of time and effort to clean up after the upgrade I can't imagine how long it would take me. If you have a good config management environment set up, rolling out a new build to replace older systems is much easier than walking through an update on each system. I really recommend people use ansible, chef, puppet.. whatever they're comfortable with to do some basic automation. Red Hat released this, so we rebuilt it .. that does not mean one should use it.

But ONLY if the server correctly negotiates the connection. This should only effect sites that close the initial connection due to not understanding TLS 1.2. A quick test connecting to a RHEL5 server over HTTPS with Firefox 38 shows it has established a TLS 1.0 connection so this should not really effect CentOS 5. You are correct, it will not automatically negotiate a downgrade only. Thank goodness. Still will impact a lot of sites, but not all non TLS 1.2.

[CentOS-announce] CentOS-7 disk images for AArch64 Platforms
We've produced a disk image intended to help hardware vendors and enthusiasts who are interested in bringing CentOS to their AArch64 based platform. This allows a vendor to bypass the installer or to edit the disk image before booting in order to test kernel modules or options. It is intended for development purposes only, and will only continue through the alpha and beta test phases. ## Download http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/isos/aarch64/ ## Considerations * This image is 12GB when uncompressed. Please ensure you have enough free space * The default root password is 'centos'. Please see the readme in the above directory for the kickstart used to create the image. * You will need to add the appropriate boot information in a UEFI entry after using this image, since the installer traditionally handles this. ## Burning the image to disk You may simply dd this image to disk, however for the sake of ensuring that it is written correctly, we recommend the following command. Please replace the image-name and target device with the appropriate values for your environment. ``` dd if=image-name.img of=/dev/sdX bs=2m conv=fsync sync; ``` ## Growing the disk image. The root partition of this image was intentionally placed at the end of the image so that it could be easily grown. A simple command for growing the image is listed below ``` sudo sgdisk -e -d4 -n4:0:0 /dev/your-device ``` ## Examining and editing the image The kpartx tool is very handy for manipulating disk images. Some example commands are below. Please read the documentation for kpartx before you modify the disk image. * kpartx -l CentOS-7-1503-aarch64.img # List partitions in the image * kpartx -a -v CentOS-7-1503-aarch64.img # Add partition mappings * mount /dev/mapper/loop1p1 /mnt # mount the first partition to /mnt * umount /mnt # unmount /mnt, obviously. * kpartx -d -v CentOS-7-1503-aarch64.img # remove partition mappings -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 ___ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce

In fact, CentOS is not now, nor has it ever been *certified* for anything. Certifications require people to PAY to certify a product. Specifically, EAL4 Certification, a requirement for the DOD, costs up to 2.5 million dollars .. see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_Assurance_Level#Impact_on_cost_and_schedule That cost would be for each main version of CentOS (2.1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) .. so the cost to have all 6 previous major versions certified would be: 6 x $2.5 Million = $15 Million dollars. Since CentOS is given away for free ... I can't afford to pay 15 million dollars to have it EAL4 certified .. can anyone on this list? Certifications and security testing and assurance, along with a Service Level Agreement for fixing bugs is why people who require any of those things need to buy RHEL. Incidentally, someone has just started a thread related to DoD in the RH community discussion session entitled, A DoD version of RHEL - A money maker for RH? Maybe! : https://access.redhat.com/comment/913243 There have been similar requests in the past. At one point someone on forge.mil was working on a rebuild which met STIG requirements, but there were all sorts of issues with that. While I'm not in sales, I feel safe in speculating that RH's sales folks work rather hard to make sure the DOD as a whole stays happy. Jason and Johnny are both right, because the DOD is a rather large entity with a stupidly complex array of regulations. What works in one command doesn't always fly in another even within a branch, let alone jumping between branches. TL;DR. Answer varies wildly on approval because the DOD is a GIANT organization with multiple levels of interwoven regulations, networks, and varied systems.

You can take the list of 'vulnerable' packages and the related CVEs and 'rpm -q package --changelog | grep -i cve' to see that it's been addressed.

With the bootif option, the system now correctly configures and uses the same interface to get its kickstart file. However, when the system is done and boots up, the interfaces are still messed up. So this is what I have in the kickstart file: What version of CentOS 6 is this? In the PXE config file I have: IPAPPEND 2 APPEND ks=http://192.168.x.x/ks/portico.ks initrd=centos/x86_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=10 ksdevice=bootif As soon as I *remove* the additional ethernet card, the system will boot up with the ports configured correctly (port 1 = eth0, port 2 = eth1). So why is it that as soon as there is an additional one, all things go to hell? Why must the boot process shuffle them? More importantly, how do I prevent this so that the system comes up properly after a kickstart install? The reason I ask the version, is this is exactly the sort of thing that biosdevname is designed to solve. With biosdevname, you get devices like 'em1, em2, p6p1', which aren't as friendly as 'eth0' but also keep names sane and avoid the hair-tearing issues you're experiencing currently. You don't appear to be adding anything via your append line that would disable biosdevname, so I must assume you're using a much older 6 base install. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Furthermore, consider this to be a wider general request - specially to the list regulars - to be considerate and thoughtful in their responses. General 'me too' and 'yes' or 'no' type posts are not needed. Similarly, if you must correct someone, do it politely without making it into a personal attack.

I know I got one email from Karanbir after he modded me so that I couldn't post to the list... but in the last week, I've tried emailing Johnny, and I also sent one to Karanbir, figuring that if he was moderating me, I'd send a post to him to moderate, and got a response from neither... and I'm suspecting that any email I send to *any* address at centos.org goes to /dev/null, and he seems to have forgotten me altogether. Or we're a tad busy with getting 6.6 built, tested and out the door (among other tasks).

Re: [CentOS] redhat-lsb
On 10/10/2014 12:55 PM, Les Mikesell wrote: I've noticed that some systems don't have redhat-lsb or even redhat-lsb-core installed and as a side effect, the ocsinventory agent reports them as 'linux' instead of Centos with the release version. Also, where it is installed and ocsinventory does pick up the name, it doesn't include Centos (pre-7.x) in the 'all Linux' grouping because the name is just CentOS and unlike 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or 'SUSE Linux Enterprise Server' which include Linux in the name. Anyway, a few questions: Is there some reason to omit redhat-lsb-core from any of the install groups? The GIANT list of dependencies. Why is there such a big list of dependencies? (glibc-devel, gdbm-devel, perl-CGI, etc., seem odd as 'standard requirements'). LSB itself is a list of requirements. It mandates specific binaries which are spread over a variety of packages. Even more so for the full redhat-lsb package? Why are things like qt and ghostscript pulled in by dependencies? Because the LSB standards gods demand tribute and sacrifice. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS-docs] embedding video into the wiki pages

We can then have the videos for all the sessions ( or the ones we managed to record proper ) ready to view right in place You can do this via an iframe I think. Something like: [[HTML(iframe src=your youtube video link width=10px height=10px/iframe)]] obviously using sane sizes and the proper url. that also means we end up promoting the wiki rather than the youtube channel, which might be good -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77 ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Re: [CentOS] elrepo problem?

The glibc update changes the location of the ldconfig binary. It's still in root's path, but anything that had a hardcoded path as a requirement will break. The original glibc package provides both /usr/sbin/ldconfig and /sbin/ldconfig, while the updated package only provides /sbin/ldconfig.
