I'll concur in my experience. I've upgraded a number of Ubuntu servers through major version updates. The longest jump I have is on Fedora Server. One particularly central and critical server was built before I arrived, with Fedora 18. I have personally upgraded that on every release starting from 21 on up to the current 30. It's certainly possible to have major version upgrades be reliable. The big trick is to read release notes for any software you are using and note any issues they mention. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The last one I tried using their "upgrade > process" was Ubuntu 18 to 19. Didn't work. Not trying to undermine what you said. I totally believe that different situations deserve different solutions. In my career, I've managed many Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS systems, and I found that in-situ upgrading of Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora are usually easy and convenient. If you are using 3rd party repos/PPAs you sometimes need to disable them and/or remove some packages, but nothing can't be solved by a few apt/yum/dnf commands. Most of my Debian/Ubuntu servers only need to be installed once when we got the hardware, and they are upgraded through several major versions before being retired. Debian has especially well written documentation for each release on how to upgrade from previous versions. I've about three dozen shared and heavily used Fedora workstations that haven't been reinstalled since 2012? And we have upgraded them through each Fedora release using yum/dnf. The only problem I could remember was when we found that our initial allocation for the /boot partition turned out to be too small in recent years, when kernels are becoming monstrous. We simply adjusted the partitions and rsync'ed the whole root directory from backup. Still didn't do reinstall. These upgrades were usually done by volunteer student admins following Fedora's documentation, and few of them complained. Same can be said for our Ubuntu laptops. In most cases, end user just needed to click Upgrade when a new major version was released, and most of them went through without much trouble. Although the new versions were usually buggy in many ways, it usually wasn't the upgrade process to be blamed. However, that can't be said for CentOS/RHEL. You are totally right that CentOS are better reinstalled/imaged rather than upgraded. -- Elliot ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Upgrade programs are usually tested for each Unix and Linux in the following manner: For A in Arch; do For B in Hardware-Type; do For X in Oldest_Supported_Major to Youngest_Supported_Major; do For Y from Oldest_Support_Minor to Youngest_Supported_Minor; do Install the OS-X.Y from original media. (maybe) Make changes as listed in manual (if you are lucky) Make known changes which broke major customer last time Run upgrade to OS-N.0 Reboot. If system boots; Pass else Fail; fi Done; Done; Done; Done; Fix all the Fails that you can.. or document that they can't be fixed in tech support. That still probably takes several QA people days of work to go through for an upgrade. Most systems that are lived in quickly fall outside of the scope of what the upgrade tests can find OR what the upgrade program can determine what to do. This is the main reason why you should do a rollout of a new operating system with a plan beyond yum --upgrade-system --YOLO So to make it work, what you normally have to do is continually treat your system like it could be nuked at any moment and you need to rebuild it from whatever is latest. That takes a lot of controls and work which most of us don't have time for.

Re: [CentOS] upgrading from CentOS 7 to 8
Your answer has nothing to do with the original question which is related to upgrade method and not condition for reinstalling without loosing data. Sometimes you need to keep your configuration and want to avoid reconfiguring everything, and reimaging your computer keeping /home is not an option. Of course having all user files on a separate filesystem helps when reimaging the OS (that what I do as main developer of SystemImager, but in some circumstances, you may want to just upgrade the OS Like you do when you upgrade iOS-12 to iOS-13 or Android-8 to Android-9 without loosing a single bit of configuration. A mature OS should be able to do upgrade itself without artifacts. MacOS and iOS and now Windows-10 are example of OS that are able to self upgrade from version to version. Reimaging a computer to perform an upgrade of its OS is just as silly as rebooting a computer to restart a service (that's what windows-10 still do). That said, the original question is more like: is there a dnf dist-upgrade or similar to what is available on fedora for upgrading centos-7 to centos-8: $ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh# Make sur packages are up to date in current OS release and that there are no dependancies issues. $ sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade# Add the OS upgrade plugin $ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30 # example for fedora-29 to 30 $ sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot As of writing, dnf-plugin-system-upgrade package is not available in centos-7 and thus this method is not available to upgrade centos-7 to centos-8.

I searched a bit to see if there is a way to upgrade from CentOS 7 directly to CentOS 8. I found RHEL instructions but not CentOS.

You have to configure what applications you want to be able to talk to your smart card or yubikey because just allowing anything to talk to them just leads to the xkcd. That said, I do not know how to do this.

[CentOS] VirtualBox extensions and the new kernel
I've been running Centos for different purposes in a VirtualBox environment for quite long now. But the newest kernels miss something so I can get the VirtualBox Extensions linked in. I can see in the virtualbox log file that I shall run maken oldconfig and make, but I get these errors: # make oldconfig && make prepare scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig # # configuration written to .config # scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by `arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h'.

[CentOS] Centos 8: Multiple bugs with email/calendar
Hi there! I recently installed centos 8 on my laptop. I have the following problems 1. I tried the use the default evolution 3.28. The problem with 3.28 is that when i try to create an event i get the error "Failed to create an event in the calendar “CalDAV : Calendar”" "Cannot create calendar object: Failed to put data: HTTP error code 400 (Bad Request)" 2.I tried installing evolution from flatpak 3.34 Calendar works fine! BUT cant use my yubikey to read my encrypted emails :-( For some reason flatpak seems unable to work with smartcards. Had the same issue with keepassxc and yubikey 3.My third attempt was to use thunderbird from flatpak. I installed thunderbird through flatpak to see if i could overcome the flatpak yubikey problem. Thunderbird starts but then crushes with the following message "flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:15:00.372: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" " I would prefer to use evolution than thunderbird. Any ideas how to solve the calendar or flatpak and yubikey problem? Thanks in advance!!! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

According to the official website, SquidGuard is dead in the water. Apparently there's still some mysterious maintainer around. Which would be nice, because I've been using SquidGuard regularly for the last ten years or so, it's a great piece of software. -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'église - 30730 Montpezat Site : https://www.microlinux.fr Mail : i...@microlinux.fr Tél. : 04 66 63 10 32 Mob. : 06 51 80 12 12 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
