HAHAHAHAHA, what a wonderful imaginary world you live in :-D
530 negative commends on the blog, 7.800 signed the petition, 100+
negative mails on the CentOS mailing list, and at least 200 negative
comments only in CentOS Facebook group, not counting comments in other
20-30 groups.

So yeah, lets go with only 5 complainers :-D

So long, there is nothing more to be said on this topic, except that I
will be soon leaving Facebook group admin team.

Re: [CentOS] Announcing Open-sourced & Community-Driven RHEL Fork by CloudLinux

In the context of RHEL clones, I think we should use term "EL" instead
of "CentOS", that is now trademark owned by RH.

Just an update, name of the project will be "Lenix", and I missedin
announcement that unlike CentOS they plan to publish all the build tools
and environment so other clones can be built even if they stray, a very
commendable approach.

Do not turn this upside down. Many obviously smarter then me saw this
coming. Us more gullible believed when corporation told us nothing will
change, while they took control of entire project. Death by thousand
cuts is always more preferable by corporations, less bad PR.
And they are not sign of doom but death, but of only this particular
clone, others will take it's mantle. The reason I an agitated is I
believed and with all my hearth supported this project, and now is owned
by heartless profit-driven corporation

Don't be silly. They wanted to control the process, and to prevent
anyone else from cutting into their process.
You should read their manifesto for stream, only RH employees will be
able to change that code, others will only be able to report bugs/issues
and to sit and watch what RH does with them.
Only real difference with stream is for those few hundred developers
that are developing software that runs on RHEL so their code can be
deployed as soon as new point release is launched.

And even that RH does more for it's own gain, so that (opensurce?)
projects/software important to RH can be deployed without delay, lest
users ditch RH and go elsewhere.

When people are happy with something they do not voice their content on
the mailing list, mailing list is only to voice your discontent. You
heard about "silent majority", right? Ever though why it is called that?

Not misinformed, I was part of that discussion 9 years ago, but my
memory was little rusty, but I was part of that discussion and It did
not bother be to track down one of the comments about kernel tarballs
being published as monolith code vs trackable patches, to make problems
for builders of RHEL clones:

"There is the kernel tarball issue. That's understandable, but real.
Red Hat is publishing their kernels as tarballs, rather than as the
vanilla tarball with a list of ordered patches against it. This makes
layering in, or out, specific patches much more awkward. Was Oracle
being any better about this? Does anyone have actual pointers to their
SRPM's?"

Hi.
Springdale Linux, RHEL clone already exists. Rocky Linux clone is in
preparation, and CloudLinux plans to publish RHEL clone also.
And notice that CentOS Linux 7 will be supported until EOL in 2024 and
there will still be support for CentOS Linux 8 for next 12 months,
enough to chose your exit strategy smartly and without emotions.

[CentOS] Announcing Open-sourced & Community-Driven RHEL Fork by CloudLinux

2020-12-10 Thread Ljubomir Ljubojevic

Someone is smarter then Red Hat/IBM, "Carpe Diem":

Announcing Open-sourced & Community-Driven RHEL Fork by CloudLinux

(https://blog.cloudlinux.com/announcing-open-sourced-community-driven-rhel-fork-by-cloudlinux)

CentOS is a fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and undoubtedly a
popular choice to deploy on production servers because of its rock-solid
stability and compatibility. But, now with CentOS Stream, Red Hat just
killed CentOS as we know it. And as expected, people started to fork Red
Hat to give a viable community-based alternative to RHEL.

As we already maintain CloudLinux OS, we plan to release a free,
open-sourced, community-driven, 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL® 8
(and future releases) in the Q1 of 2021. We will create a separate,
totally free OS that is fully binary compatible with RHEL® 8 (and future
versions). We will sponsor the development & maintenance of such OS. We
will work on establishing a community around the OS, with the governing
board from members of the community.

Why We Are Doing It

We have all the infrastructure, software and experience to do that
already. We have a large staff of developers and maintainers that have a
decade of experience in building an RHEL fork, starting from RHEL5 to RHEL8.
We expect that this project will put us on the map, and allow people
to discover our rebootless update software and Extended Lifecycle
Support offering.

What Will We Do To Make Sure That It Doesn't Go Wrong

We plan to make all the build and test software free, open-sourced, easy
to set up, so if we ever go in the wrong direction - the community can
just pick up where we left off.

What It Means For You

If you are running CloudLinux OS 8 - it will continue to have stable and
well-tested updates until 2029, and ELS releases for years after that.

If you are running CentOS 8 - we will release an OS very similar to
CentOS 8 based on RHEL 8 stable. We will provide stable and well-tested
updates until 2029 - completely free. You will be able to convert from
CentOS 8 at any moment by running a single command that switches
repositories & keys.

Re: [CentOS] Moving to CentOS 8 Stream

Considering there is entire year until "CentOS Linux 8" is EOL, and few
years until "CentOS Linux 7" is eol, I agree there is no rush to switch.

I will use next 12 months to test Springdale Linux (ex PUIAS Linux) and
wait and see what comes out of "Rocky Linux" startup that has started
today (they already have skeleton of the team assembled and are talking
about infrastructure) and if both of those fail to work out, last few

P.S. Do not expect money-grabing top of Red Hat to change
"get-rich-fast" scheme, I don't... their funeral.

I do not see you or anyone else as arrogant. Any harsh words, especially
from Johnny can be attributed to frustration of not getting his view
across, and I do not fault him for that.

But harsh fact remains that CentOS Linux, a free clone of RHEL, is being
slaughtered, and as far as I am concerned that "Stream" thingy can be
renamed to RHEL Stream because it has no resemblance to CentOS Linux I
know and love.

CentOS Community wants free clone of stable and respected RHEL. That is
only thing that we can use to compete with Debian/Ubuntu which have
vanila kernel (it takes long text to explain to people what RHEL kernel
is or is not), proprietary/non-GPL drivers, codecs and apps Red Hat does
not want to add to RHEL, EPEL or Fedora. Majority of Linux users does
not want to bother with 3rd paraty repositories, convoluted ways to add
some things (that sometimes clash with base packages), etc. That is why
CentOS or even Fedora was never accepted as Desktop/Laptop, and I am
loosing desire to fight for CentOS's place under the sun.

I was actually planing to convert several C6 and C7 servers to C8, and
now I am happy I did not waste my time on it.
I even wanted to lobby to move servers of Mensa Serbia to CentOS (8),
but those are now DEFINITELY going to be all Debian which my co-admin
wishes, and it will be place where I will start learning Debian way in
preparation for "Day of Sorrow" in 12 months.

So with "CentOS Linux" gone, it is either some other clone (which will
take a lot of fate I do not have at the moment) like Springdale or newly
started Rocky Linux, or Debian Stable

Re: [CentOS] [CentOS-devel] https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/

I agree with you 100%. I was almost laughed at by vast majority of Linux
professionals when I say I use CentOS exclusively, because 90% of them
uses Debian or Ubuntu, and around 99% of developers does the same.

I see this developing like this:
All/most of the hosting companies will stop offering CentOS in favor of
Debian-based distro's (I doubt they will try other RHEL clones) and the
number of people who *HAVE* to learn CentOS/RHEL will dwindle, leaving
only those who work for RHEL customers, reducing Red Hats subscription pool.

I managed to filter all of my feelings and thoughts in two sentences:

Majority of CentOS users only care about "99% binary compatibility with
*upstream* distro". Take that away and entire Red Hat opensource model
and support is gone, same as Oracle has very little following in Linux
world.

CentOS 8 is bassed on Fedora 28. It has open source radeon version in
kernel. If should recognise it and give default usability until you
download and install AND's driver.

Live CD is planed but not yet produced. Until it is, I think you can add
USB and install test CentOS 8 using only that USB as disk (uncheck all
other disks).
Some RAID drivers (including JBOD/fakeraid) are missing (RHEL removed
them because of stability issues), MATE is not yet available from
regular EPEL but there is private Fedora COPR repository for it, and for
any hardware missing drivers most likely you can get them from ElRepo
repository. Search archives of this mailing list or visit Official
CentOS Facebook group for details.

Have you tried duplicity srpms from Fedora 28 (source of CentOS 8
packages) instead?

Also, I noted there mmight be issue with pythonn version 2 or 3,
depending on what distro is used. I am not sure this happens between F28
and C8, I haven't had time to see if it was only my mistake or something
should be done.

Do you select (green "checkbox") all three disks on the first

Yes, it is.

My main reason is this (it has to do with me starting with Windows 3.1
and those functionalities are in Windows even today I have to use and
support at work):
1. All tray icons are visible so I can see if message or mail
comes without need to move more then eyeball.
2. I can put icon on a desktop, document or link to app.
3. I can easily see all open apps and swith to them using mouse
4. I can put links to panel in top/bottom of the screen, visible and
easily accessible.
5. I want easily visible and accessible multiple workspaces I can switch
to. I like separate opened apps several per workspace custered for a
specifig (simultanious) job/task, Firefox in one Krusader in another, VM
i third, something else in forth...Then I can switch between apps IN
THAT workspace, I do not have to choose from dozes of windows (like with
Alt+Tab)

If Gnome 3 (Classic) can be configured to do such things in one go
(chosing a theme "Gnome 2") I would switch to it.

Create a snapshot of clean VM and divide that list in 10 pieces and
install them one at the time and reboot afterwards. If VM boots, create
another snapshot. When it fails, reverse to previous snaphot and divide
that segment into 5-10 smaller pieces, rinse and repeat.

There is a VLC 3.x in RPMFusion: https://rpmfusion.org/

Nux will not be creating repo for EL8, due to lack of time.

They are talking about a fact that RHEL (and CentOS) do not provide
packages that have non-FOSS licenses, like Broadcom drivers, video
codecs, flash, etc., and you need 3rd-party repo like Nux-dextop,
rpmfusion for those, while almost all other distro's do provide those
packages and you only need to select non-FOSS packages from OFFICIALY
SUPPORTED repositories.

You should try with some other OS to make sure it is not a hardware
(BIOS/MB) problem. Maybe try with Windows or some other Linux and
compare speeds?

Also check if there is a firmware/BIOS update for the nVME controler...

Re: [CentOS] Is it a way to upgrade CentOS 7 to 8?

Hi Pierre.

RHEL/CentOS are different then Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora. RHEL/CentOS 6.x
was based on Fedora 12 packages, RHEL/CentOS 7.x on Fedora 19 and
RHEL/CentOS 8.0 on Fedora 28 packages. As you can see, Upgrading from
CentOS 7 to 8 is like directly updating from Fedora 19 to Fedora 28, gap
of whole 9 versions, and Ubuntu from 14.04 to 19.04 (skipping 14.10,
15.04, 15.10, 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 17.10, 18.04 and 18.10). This happens
because CentOS becomes EOL after 10 years and it's replacement 5 full
years after initial release. In whole that time, main packages like
glibc do not change version (except bugfixes).

So, differences between packages versions are VERY large, and simple
"upgrade" would most likely mess things up.

Red Hat did release a RHEL tool for upgrade, but there is no interest in
community to work to convert it for CentOS, so trying to upgrade CentOS
7 to 8 is risky at least.

I do not even think about upgrading my servers from 7 to 8, only clean
install is option for me (with backup before it of course).

On another note, if you do not have a pressing need to upgrade CentOS to
8, I would argue you can stay on 7 for next 3-5 years, or maybe upgrade
one at the time.

Many packages like php can be upgraded on CentOS 7. If you tell us why
you NEED to upgrade your servers to 8, maybe we can dirrect you to
solution like Software collection or IUS repository.

How to see if your HDD controler is not supported:

You can check by running the lspci command (lspci -nn) and compare it
with Red Hats list of removed ID's:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/hardware-enablement_considerations-in-adopting-rhel-8#removed-adapters_hardware-enablement

Here is the list of all (so far created) the DUD's for EL8:
https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/

And here is ElRepo page http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs that shows all
the drivers ElRepo has the drivers for, and can create DUD ISO files if
asked via ElRepo bugzila:
https://elrepo.org/bugs/main_page.php

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 8 Installation Not Recognizing Local Disk

Hi guys.

Somebody should use info from my mail
(https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-October/173682.html) to
create a page in Wiki and maybe even special notice on main Web page, it
looks like next few months people will continually ask for that info as
they go to move to install CentOS 8.

It might be worth thinking over how to provide that info (Wiki) inside
installer for 8.1, 8.2, etc. if no disks are detected.

It whould be nice if there was repo in CentOS called "Unsuported" or
something similar, where you would move packages CentOS devs create for
personal usage (in copr), so they are all in one place if they are
functional.

It would have to be something other then CentOS Stream. Maybe CentOS
gets some software streams/modules where you can choose Firefox 68 over
60, but it would have to come from EPEL I am guesing, with CentOS only
providing infrastructure for this change. But I somehow doubt it will go
that way, CentOS is ment as only rebuld of RHEL.

I use MATE exclusively. It is a GNOME 2 redezined for Gnome 3 base or
something like that. It has ALL you need to work as fast as you can, you

I just wrote this for official CentOS Facebook group:

CentOS Stream is/will be work in progres to get new minor version. With
CentOS 8.0, CentOS Stream will be continually changed to reach packages
to be put into RHEL 8.1 (and after rebuilt CentOS 8.1). What Red Hat did
in-house to prepare new minor version (8.1, 8.2, 8.3, ...) now will be
transparent so that developers using CentOS and RHEL as platform for
their software can prepare their own software before new RHEL minor
version is released. EPEL, ElRepo, various SiG's will prepare needed
changes in preparation for new RHEL minor version.

So I do not advise use of CentOS Stream for production, better look at
it as a Beta -in-progress.

I have VM in NAT mode mostly these days, but sometimes I need bridged
network to recognize some hardware on the network, Mikrotik WiFi routers
or printers so I need ability to go to bridge.

If this with NetworkManager-config-server package works, I can at most
times (if I want) plug a LAN to my laptop and be happy. I do not use
LUKS so suspend until I get home 10 minutes later is ok.

It is OK if your KVM host is on LAN cable that never is disconnected or
power goes down.
But I have a laptop I use first at work where I use LAN and then at home
where I use WLAN only, and suspending laptop is same as disconnecting
LAN, bridge is disabled and KVM bridged network unhooked, and you can
never reinitialize it without at least restarting kvm, and full
treatmant is shuting down VM, restarting NM then network then starting
VM again... So I just shutdown VM and laptop and boot everey itme I
move. Maybe I can change this behavior now.

Bridge for VM's is main reason I hate NM. I now mess with both NM and
br0 controled by network because I use Windows VM on my laptop. As soon
as you disconnect LAN cable your eth and bridge connection are gone and
stupid KVM can not recover and reconnect to newly activated bridge when
you return LAN cable, even only a second later...

Almost all use Network Manager because it can be context/network
sensitive and is tied to systemd along with Firewald.

I do not like NM, but it is here to stay.

I propose following:
Install and test with latest centosplus kernel (I use them exclusively
because all drivers are enabled and some stuff is added/enabled that
RHEL disables for speed since they do not not need them).

After you test centosplus kernel, not matter the outcome, file a bug
report with all the details at https://bugs.centos.org so devs can
triage the problem.

You are wrong. Mdraid (mdadm is only a tool for mdraid) is SOFTWARE
RAID, to create RAID system of regular or AHCI chipset. No part of
mdraid uses BIOS, it is all in kernel/driver.

What you described is actually "dmraid" (discover, configure and
activate software (ATA)RAID ). Dmraid is just an interface for fakeRAID
BIOS to work, and bugs in fakeRAID BIOSes (for which firmare updates
barely exist) are the reason (some) fakeRAID chipsets are removed from
kernel.

In ifcfg-eth0 you need:
NM_CONTROLED=NO

and/or to disable NetworkManager:

systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
systemctl disable NetworkManager.service

In short, CentOS 7.x is based on Fedora 19 while CentOS 8 is based on
Fedora 28. Most of what is in those Fedora's is also in coresponding
CentOS version. Fedora's might be much easier to compare.

It might depend on what used graphic card driver supports. Try to find
that out and maybe use different option?

I saw it uses Intel hdd controler so I thought it could be similar.

Here is solution for instaling CentOS 8 on Dell T610 with SAS controler
(copied from Mike Chan):

Intro:

** Keyword: CentOS 8 LSI SAS2
Trying CentOS 8 on an old machine (Dell T610) but the installer can't
find disks for installation.

It turns out that the RH removed the support for LSI SAS2 controllers in
the mpt3sas driver.

I've found some articles about this, and is trying to install with
elrepo-provided DUD (driver update disk).

Will update the results and the procedure if succeeded.

At least it can serves as a warning to those with said SAS controllers.

Solution:

Reference:
https://elrepoproject.blogspot.com/2019/08/rhel-80-and-support-for-removed-adapters.html

Here's the procedure:
1. prepare a install media and a flash drive, formatted with fat32, and
copy the DUD iso file into the flash drive:
https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/dd-mpt3sas-27.101.00.00-1.el8_0.elrepo.iso.
You can also use tools to create a bootable install flash drive, and use
it as the DUD drive.
No need to process the iso; just place it in the drive.

2. boot with the install media, and hit tab key in the boot menu, add
'inst.dd' to the command line, and then boot it.

3. the installer will ask for a DUD before getting into the GUI.
It will list the block devices it found, find the one with vfat - that's
your flash drive.
Then it will list DUD isos it found on the drive, enter the number of
the entry, then a "checkbox" will appear before the entry.
Enter the number again so the "checkbox" is checked with a x. Now enter
"c" to contiune.

4. If everything works, you'll have your disks visible to the installer.
Install it as usual.

5. The booting should has no problem, but DO NOT update kernel just yet.
According to the reference page, the dracut tool in RHEL / CentOS 8.0 is
bugged and will NOT include the extra driver to the updated initrd. This
will make the new kernel unbootable.
Setup network to download the patched dracut tools first, or copy it
from other computer with flash drive:
http://elrepo.org/people/akemi/testing/el8/dracut/
Then install them with:
rpm -Uvh (downloaded rpm files).

6. Now you can update the kernel.

In my case, I'm using the card in IT mode; the disks are not set into
RAID with the card, so only the mpt3sas DUD is required.
If you have a IR mode (RAID via the controller) configuration, you may
need the megaraid-sas DUD too.

Richard on CentOS-devel mailing list has similar problem but suggests it

I really do not know. It was written RHEL 8 was based on fedora 28/29,
so those packages should be closest to EL8. I had no time to play with
packages from newer Fedoras, and I even did not know about difference in
versions because all I evev use on ANY Linux PC is to install latest
CentOS, never ever any other distro. I did fix some Ubuntu's but never
installed any.

I doubt because Stream is basically the same with regular CentOS at this

CentOS Stream is project that is just starting. At this time almost all

RHEL/CentOS 8 is created from Fedora 28/29 packages and kernel, but Red
Hat does backport important drivers to it's kernel. RHEL/CentOS kernel
is not directly comparable to vanila kernel due to many, many changes.

You should read up on many things it seams. You can start with my FB

And please stop SPAM-ing the list. There is no need to thank everyone
that posted anything you like, keep it moderated, becuse everyone on
this list receive your mails unnecessarily. If you want to thank
someone, you can sent them a private/direct message, not via the list.
many will be thankful.

If you do not know something, like "SCL", "orphaned packages", etc.,
please first search on the net (Google it) with for example "linux
CentOS SCL" and then only ask for further clarifications. No one has
time to explain everything in detail to you, you need to learn the

It is not so much issue with GNOME as with driver for VMware

As of now, I have a working MATE DM on CentOS 8. It's a hack though, I
used Fedora repositories. But that means compiling MATE in EPEL should
be straightforward, just recompile Fedora 28 packages.

I used Fedora 28 repo file  and Fedora 28 GPG keys (links are bellow),
unpacked then to proper directory and in Fedora repo files I changed
"$releasever" to "28".
I also installed yum-plugin-priorities and in all CentOS repo's added
"priority=1" and in all Fedora repos added "priority=2".

Then I ran following commands (something like this, I experimented some):

yum install python2-six
yum install mate* -x mate*devel* -x mate-menu
yum groupinstall "MATE" --skip-broken
yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop" --skip-broken
echo "exec /usr/bin/mate-session" >> ~/.xinitrc
reboot
and then selected MATE in login screen.

Ohh, I am not openig that can of worms :-)
Just like Windows Clasic on Windows 200/XP/7, I liked Gnome 2 on Linux,
and logical move, closest thing after Gnome 2 was dropped, was MATE.
Shiny icons, transparency and smooth menu's are things I disable because
they distract me from actual work. Any DM that fits my work demands I
will use without complaining.

Why do you need "every major and minor desktop environment under the
sun"? I run CentOS desktops/laptops since 5.3 and even rebuilt 70+
packages for it, even Skype rpm.

All I need for work that feeds me is one good work environment and that
is MATE. All tray icons are visible so I can see if message or mail
comes without need to move more then eyeball. And stablity of CentOS
makes it best option even though versions of apps are not latest and
greatest, it is enough they do the job needed.

As I read it, 500MB boot will be enough. My CentOS 7 server (with GUI)
without /home uses some 15GB (of 24GB root partition) so anything over
20GB should be enough for root partiton. 8GB SWAP should be enough since
you will not hibernate it.

[CentOS] Facebook CentOS group close to 15.000 members!

2015-03-22 Thread Ljubomir Ljubojevic

Hi everyone.

I have a pleasure to announce that official CentOS group on Facebook
will reach 15.000 members in next 6-9 days, somewhere just before April
1st :)

Average rate of new members, mostly total newbies, is around 140-180
members per week.

Group's link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/centosproject/

I solved that for Firefox 35.x.

Re: [CentOS] Centos7 Annoyances

2014-10-30 Thread Ljubomir Ljubojevic


On 10/31/2014 01:45 AM, david wrote:

Folks

I'm sure the Centos team has done a yeoman's job getting Centos7 ready,
and that the Redhat team has done marvels in creating rhel7, but here's
a little voice from a personal hobbyist user.

Background:
  ('ve been maintaining several remote servers since Redhat 6 days,
migrating from that to Whitebox, then Centos, and things have been
running as expected including the current version of Centos6.  As an
experiment, I've tried to play with Centos7 on an in-house virtual
machine (VMWare on Win7), and have encountered a collection of
annoyances greater than I've even seen.  Below is a note about them.  If
someone has some elegant solution, I'd love to try, but Centos7 is still
unusable for me.

1:  Firewall changes
  The change in firewall technology forced a complete re-do of my
scripts which maintain firewalls, respond to attacks, etc.  I think I've
programmed my way around the issues, but it wasn't easy.


I used Shorewall on 5.x and 6.x so on 7.x I just disabled firewalld and 
installed shorewall. Btw. I haven't even tried to learn firewalld, to 
confusing and too lite time to waste.




2:  Apache changes
  These were subtle, but again were solved.

3:  Service -> systemd
  The change from object-oriented view of service:  (service httpd
restart) to function-oriented (systemctl restart firewall) seems to be
unnecessary, and counter to the way stuff is generally done in the
modern world.  Nonetheless, it was possible to solve that with some
adaptive script programming.


For me "service httpd restart" works just fine, automatic conversion 
works like a charm. I do get informed what command was run, but it DOES 
it's job.





4) Something with Unknown lvalue 'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'
  I don't know what to do with this.  I constantly get the diagnostic:
[/usr/lib/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service:32] Unknown lvalue
'ControlGroup' in section 'Service'
  and attempts to browse the internet for solutions come across barriers
that require some paid subscription to view.  This is currently a
progress-stopper.  The messages I see deal with boinc, which does not
show up on my system using "rpm -qa | grep -i boinc".

5) Sendmail is out, postfix is in.
  This is a huge change, since I had lots of scripts that tailored the
Sendmail system for spam protection, dealing with SmartHosts that
required SMTP-AUTH and others required weird configurations, etc.
Whether this is working yet I don't quite know, but it seems the scripts
can accommodate the change.


I have been using Postfix from 5.x. The fact that you chose to use 
obsolete (from Red Hat's point of view) software should be on no one but 
you.




6) Installation
  I have no idea why, when using the net-install, one must explicitly
turn on the network.  It seems unnecessary.

7) Lack of 32-bit support
  I think I understand this.  After all, 32-bit machines may become
"unusable" when the clock overflows, but isn't that a few years away,
and couldn't some solution be found, even if kludgy?  Some of the 32-bit
hardware was of very high quality, and still runs perfectly.  I'd hate
to spend a few hundred dollars each to replace all those systems.

8) And more


I would add idiotic Gnome 3 that does not have right click menu for 
creating launchers (copying .desktop files from /usr/share/applications? 
works like a charm but you need to create them manually for every 
launcher) and inability to place launchers and icons on top panel as 
infuriating.


Gnome extensions from Tweak Tool are very helpful in making Gnome 3 like 
home. I use about 10 of them. Adding Start Launcher tool is one of them.



  ...



I haven't got a server or desktop running to my satisfaction yet, so I
don't yet know what pitfalls await.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Google is your friend:

"If you go into the "Activates" then type "settings" click on the icon
that has a spanner and a screwdriver and says "Settings". When it has
opened, click on the the icon that looks like a lock dial and says
"Privacy". Now click on the item that says "Screen Lock" then click on
the toggle switch next the text that says "Automatic Screen Lock". Press
the button that says Close, and now the item that says "Screen Lock"
should have "Off" next to it."

Adding Fedora 19 Everything repository with hardcoded $release to "19"
can allow Fedora 19 packages to be installed. They seam to work OK for
most part (so far no reports of not working) but CAUTION is naturally
advised.

I think System -> Tweak Tool -> Power or something like that is where
you configure Lock.

As for gnome-screensaver package, if you are sure it is not in base
repo, look in EPEL and last stop is Fedora 19 repository, so far most
missing pakcages in CentOS 7 can be installed from Fedora 19 repository:

[fedora]
name=Fedora 19 – $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
priority=10
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-19-$basearch

[fedora-updates]
name=Fedora 19 – $basearch – Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/19/$basearch/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f19&arch=$basearch

Do you by any chance use local repository (that does not have properly

Also try:
yum clean all

It does not see Windows 7 either.

Note that Windows 7 to boot might need :

menuentry "Windows 7" {
insmod ntfs
search --set=root --label WINDOWS_7 --hint hd0,msdos1
 ntldr /bootmgr
 }

and that msdos1 parametar in GRUB2 does not start with 0 but with 1?

NetworkManager does not fully support Bridge interfaces, so since I use
(one for now) C7 server for KVM host, I disabled it and use network instead.

I will also use shorewall instead of Firewalld, at least until I can
understand how it works (stupid looking thing without obvious way of
using it).
