Re: [CentOS] Special characters in bash strings

Instead of using the ‘~’ in the file path, try using the ‘${HOME}’ variable instead. If you must use the ‘~’, you will likely need to escape it in many places. Another thing to note, if you use single quotes ( ‘ ) instead of double quotes ( “ ) , most places in bash scripts won’t try to expand

The way we did in place upgrades from CentOS 6 to 7 for our network appliance VMs: 1. Take a backup of our appliance (database, settings, uploads, etc.). Store the backup on a separate partition/volume. 2. Copy the CentOS 7 Minimal .iso, with our added packages, to the backup partition/volume

Try "yum clean all", but I suspect you need to delete and rebuild the RPM database. I don't remember the commands for that offhand, but Google might help locate them. Gregory -Original Message- From: CentOS On Behalf Of Jerry Geis Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2020 4:40 PM To: CentOS

As long as you include the Grub modules (an issue I ran into with UEFI boot last week on an .iso), you can use the "read" module to prompt for a hidden command. Load the read module at the top, then at the end, put in your prompt and secret boot option. In the case, you type "secret" at the

Nope, that editable FAT partition is actually the EFI boot partition. IIRC, the grub config in that partition isn't actually used, only the EFI bootstrap files. Once it can access the config on the main .iso partition it loads everything from there. Gregory Young -Original Message-

I'm just wondering if anyone else is not getting a DHCPv4 address in Anaconda, using the CentOS 8 Boot.iso image? I get an IPv6 Autoconfig address, but it doesn't want to pick up a DHCPv4. This is in a Hyper-V Gen2 VM, connected to the same network all my other dev VMs are on, and picking up

Is this on both EL6 and EL7? If only EL7, it could be control groups causing the issue. The idea of cgroups is to prevent zombie processes, but if you need your program to spawn another process then restart itself while the other process continues to run, you need to launch it in a different
