Re: [CentOS] Installing a single rpm package from desktop/browser on CentOS 7

Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would be. When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency, etc. -- Seth. On Fri, Feb 21, 2020 at 9:51 AM Yves Bellefeuille

[CentOS] Centos 8 hardware compatibility testing

2020-02-21 Thread Frank Cox
With Centos 7 I've used the Live Image in stores like Staples to test (mostly) laptops for compatibility simply by booting the computer off of a flash drive and getting the desktop up and trying stuff out (sound, networking, touchpad, etc.) If it doesn't work, shut down, remove the flash drive

[CentOS] bcc tools and bpftrace packages misbuilt?

2020-02-21 Thread Eric Zuck
After upgrading to 8.1.1911, bcc-tools and bpftrace seem to be broken. Current package versions I have: bpftrace-0.9-3.el8.x86_64 and bcc-tools-0.8.0-4.el8.x86_64 Both of these seem to be pulling in LLVM version 7, rather than the version 8 that is in 8.1.1911: [root@localhost ~]# bpftrace

Thanks Robert, I was doing that but it was still renaming to ens*. However, I now know why, and have fixed it. For those who are interested, the problem was that when I created the base image from a kickstart I didn't pass net.ifnames=0 to virt-create, and I ended up with an image that had

I have built a CentOS 8 base image from a kickstart, for use in OpenStack. This image boots fine but the problem I have is that I can't stop udev from renaming the network device from eth0 to ens. I have /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with the correct HWADDR defined in it, and have

[CentOS] Installing a single rpm package from desktop/browser on CentOS 7

2020-02-21 Thread Toralf Lund
If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI way" on a CentOS 7 system, what am I supposed to do? If I open the file in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think) opens, but
