You should really use cockpit (if you can't get virt-manager) if you

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

[Nux!]

There was a recent thread about Redhat's removal of drivers from LSI 
SAS2, it's probably the problem you are facing.

It can be worked around with the help of Elrepo repo.

I have an older Dell PowerEdge server with one hard drive, with CentOS

from. I checked for a RAID configuration on the server, but there is
only one disk, and no RAID is configured. The disk is controlled by
the PowerEdge Raid Controller (PERC), but when I disable that I lose
the disk completely. I suspect that PERC is part of the problem, but a
CentOS 7 install proceeds normally with PERC enabled. Do you know of a
change from CentOS 7 to 8 that would cause this, or if there is a
workaround? I've searched for several days and haven't found anything
yet.

It looks like uml_utilities, which is where it is in CentOS6 EPEL and 
Fedora, isn’t built on CentOS7’s EPEL.  It looks like the Nux repo has 
a ’tunctl’ package though.

Good job and thanks, but I won't add anything that overwrites EPEL.

Not broken, but full of bugs that will never get fixed.

I did a while back rebuild the EPEL rpms for 1.20. There are spec 
files I could make available but I can't find the build environemnt 
setup now. It involves mock, a custom local repo to receive the fresh 
builds as you don't want to pull in the rpms from EPEL, and a build 
script that defines the order, among other things. If I have time next 
week I can try and locate everything.


I have done the hard lifting and rebuilt mate 1.22 on CentOS 7. It's
not without quirks, and I haven't actually installed and tested, but
I'm willing to make the srpms available - without any commitments.
This might make a good addition to Nux :)

I'm about to do an overhaul of the DNS service at work and my plan is to

keepalived can be used for fail over and will present a single IP

haproxy or alternatives might be another fail over option.  Each
technology has its own learning curve (and doing this will require at
least two) and caveats.  In particular systemd doesn't appear to play
well with technologies creating IP addresses it doesn't manage.  The
version of keepalived we're using also has its own nasty quirk as well
where it comes up assuming it is master until discovered otherwise,
this is true even if it is configured as backup.  In most cases this
is probably either a non-issue (no scripts being used) or a minor
annoyance.  But if you're using scripts trigger

changes to the environment then you'll need to embed "intelligence" in
them to wait until final state is reached or test state before acting

Hi,

how can DNS reliability, as experienced by clients on the LAN who are
sending queries, be increased?

Would I have to set up some sort of cluster consisting of several
servers all providing DNS services which is reachable under a single
IP address known to the clients?

Just setting up several name servers and making them known to the 
clients

for the clients to automatically switch isn't a good solution because
the clients take their timeouts and users lacking even the most basic
knowledge inevitably panic when the first name server does not answer
queries.

Re: [CentOS] bcachefs-tools

You could try to get this slightly old rpm, save you the build troubles 
(untested):

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/garloff:/storage/RHEL_7/x86_64/

Bare in mind there is no support in the stock kernel for bcachefs

The packages are installed but I'm not certain how to satisfy

The pkg-config man page states -

   PKG_CONFIG_PATH
A colon-separated (on Windows, semicolon-separated) list of
directories to search for .pc files.   The  default  directory  will
always  be searched  after  searching the path; the default is
libdir/pkgconfig:datadir/pkgconfig where libdir is the libdir for
pkg-config and datadir is the datadir for pkg-config when it was
installed.

On my installation, the current path seems to be:
~$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig

~$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
<>

Using locate, I do not find any of these files, so how do I properly
add the packages to the path --
`blkid.pc'
`uuid.pc'
`libsodium.pc'
`libzstd.pc'

Thanks for reading and I appreciate any guidance.

Not much else you can do here.  It's not part of CentOS, and is up to

Re: [CentOS] Firefox esr repackage

[Nux!]

I maintain a desktop oriented repo for CentOS and last I checked a year or so 
ago, I got over 150k+ unique IPs with yum user agent downloading stuff from it.

It's a bit anecdotal as perhaps not all are actual desktop users and some users 
were using multiple IPs (dhcp), but it shows there are quite a few users out 
there running CentOS for desktop purposes. 

There are desktop focused distros out there who do not even reach this kind of 
numbers. How many active users do you think Mageia or Linux Mint have?

[CentOS] Intel Vroc experiences?

[Nux!]

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience with Intel Vroc[1]? I'm possibly having to deal 
with a new server with such technology and can't find much (real world) 
information about it.
Looking at the specs it's basically a glorified fake raid which usually turns 
on my alarm bells. Has anyone done any testing, how does it compare with "real" 
raid or software raid?

Cheers,
Lucian

Parallel is in EPEL repo, you should disable that 3rd party repo from OpenSuse

Absolutely, never reject spam at MTA level!

Usually I put it in a spam folder, then add a cronjob that deletes messages 
older than 6 months, ymmv.

Re: [CentOS] Spamassassin + Postfix : delete spam mail on the server ?

[Nux!]

Hi,

Procmail, it can move messages around based on many rules.
Use something like this in postfix main.cf:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME

And something like this in /etc/procmailrc or $HOME/.procmailrc

SPAMDIR=$HOME/Maildir/.Spam/
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$SPAMDIR
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
DROPPRIVS=yes

Re: [CentOS] C 7 installation annoyances

[Nux!]

The EL7 partitioner is a complete disaster and I regularly bitch about it on 
twitter and irc.
You could try to convince it with kickstart and bypass the GUI altogether.
Another option is to boot in a Live CD and do you partitioning from there 
either manually or via Gparted and hope these changes will be picked up by the 
EL7 installer so you can just use them as they are.

[CentOS] NetworkManager and multiple dhcp router option

[Nux!]

Hello,

Our DHCP server broadcasts a router option consisting of 2 IPs.
Ideally they should both be set as default routes with different metrics, 
however this is not what is happening, only the first one gets used.
Anyone has any tips how to convince NetworkManager to do this?

Re: [CentOS] ZFS on Linux repository

[Nux!]

Watch out, ZFS on Linux is not as good as on FreeBSD/Solaris.
Just recently there was an issue with data loss.

Re: [CentOS] Clone a custom CentOS 7 desktop using G4L over FTP

[Nux!]

Hello,

If that G4L is anything like dd then the UUIDs should have been preserved and 
GRUB should have worked.
If that didn't work then G4L is doing its own thing.

What you could do is perhaps set some LABELs in the original install on the 
partitions (see tune2fs), set GRUB and /etc/fstab to reference them, then if 
possible tell G4L to set those labels on the partitions after restore. You 
could of course keep using UUIDs, but that would be messier, LABELs are more 
human friendly.

You can also go back to using /dev/sdX, just as with LABELs above, but that can 
break under certain conditions and it's no longer recommended.

To obtain unique installations from a template you should at least:
- as you mentioned nuke the udev persistent rules
- delete the ssh keys in /etc/ssh (they will be regenerated)
- remove /var/lib/systemd/random-seed (affects system entropy, important for 
crypto, it gets regenerated)
- remove HWADDR and UUID entries from ifcfg files
- remove log files from /var/log 
- do a "yum clean all"
- remove bash history
- remove leftover install files from /root (log and cfg)
- maybe relabel the filesystem with Selinux (touch /.autorelabel before 
powering off template)

There could be more you can do. Much of this can be put in a kickstart file 
actually and use that with PXE and a local mirror instead of G4L.. :-)
I do that for my cloud templates, e.g. 
http://dl.openvm.eu/cloudstack/config/centos/centos7-kvm.cfg

Re: [CentOS] How to build nss-util.i686 on Centos 7 with mock

[Nux!]

Hi Martin,

You need to build a "epel-7-i386" mock profile and use that. Now I call it 
"epel" so it resembles the default profile, but there is no EPEL 32bit for EL7.

There is a 32bit CentOS 7 tree here http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/i386/

If there are deps required and are not there you'll need to backport them from 
Fedora I guess.

Yes, you can.

Use XFS on top of that as it has dynamic inode allocation and can be expanded

Re: [CentOS] Squid vs. iptables redirection: exception for certain domains ?

[Nux!]

Hi,

Another idea - but this gets complicated and with that, prone to faults - use a 
simple shell script to resolve the desired domains and keep their IPs in an 
ipset, then use the ipset in your firewall rules, this way you can keep your 
iptables rules static, your squid config static and simply add or remove IPs 
from the ipset.

Re: [CentOS] Squid and HTTPS interception on CentOS 7 ?

[Nux!]

Nice, thanks for sharing.

You could probably just drop your CA cert in the filesystem and run a couple of 
commands to get it imported, rather than having to import the CA in the 
browsers individually. 
You could probably deliver it via yum/rpm or better yet, ansible or even some 
shell script.

Re: [CentOS] Slightly OT : newsletters, mail formatting and netiquette

[Nux!]

Not only is it acceptable, but it has become the norm unfortunately.

If you do switch to HTML format, bare in mind it may have consequences on how 
other servers label you (or not) as SPAM, so do a few thorough test rounds.

Re: [CentOS] Anyone using GQRX in Centos-7, for SDR ?

[Nux!]

Is it a Realtek chipset?
I've had problems with it on CentOS as the system will load up the DVB drivers 
(for TV tuner) thus interfering with the SDR.
What worked for me is blacklisting them & reboot. Give it a try.

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_rtl.conf 
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu 
blacklist rtl2832 
blacklist rtl2830

BTW there's a new package at http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/tmp/gqrx7/ if you 
care to test and confirm success so I can move it to the main repo.

Don't archive as lzma if you don't want lzma, remove the "--format=lzma"

Re: [CentOS] best centos server setup for graphics intensive kvm vms?

[Nux!]

Running a VM with something graphical on top of something else graphical is one 
thing.

What you want is to dedicate the GPU to the Libreelec VM, so it displays 
directly to the screen (gpu) so it can properly use hardware acceleration and 
so on, but you can't do that without VT-d/AMD-Vi afaik.

Re: [CentOS] best centos server setup for graphics intensive kvm vms?

[Nux!]

You'd need to run virt-manager GUI somehow to manage the VMs. If you run Fedora 
already on another machine then you can just yum install it and use it from 
there.

You might run into a problem though with your Libreelec VM as you'd need to 
enable GPU passthrough for it and for that you need Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi 
enabled in the BIOS. If your laptop is old it may not have that feature.

Owncloud has been obsoleted by Nextcloud btw.

Re: [CentOS] Chromium on CentOS 6

Sorin,

Indeed, CentOS 6 is not longer officially supported by Chrome. It hasn't been 
for a few years, though there are workarounds[1].

It's high time people migrated to EL7.

I am not sure they provide the same features.

Nicolas,

Did you play with nvidia-settings? Maybe also wipe out xorg.conf and start

Re: [CentOS] Kickstart ksdevice question

[Nux!]

Hello,

ksdevice specifies which NIC to be used during the network install.

The new naming conventions indeed make this more complicated than it needs to 
be. To go back to the old naming scheme (eth0, eth1 ...) just add this to boot 
parameters (kernel cmdline):
biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0

Richard,

I haven't checked, but I see more than wine packages in that repo, hence my 
thoughts about that.

Ah, ok. I was wondering how you  managed to build that, because when I tried it

If those overwrite Base, perhaps add a warning of sorts.

So, there is no switch there to make the group public? 
It requires login now, that's what I was moaning about basically.

Re: [CentOS] New CentOS/RHEL group on Facebook

I personally dislike Facebook, but even so, I think a basic requirement for any 
web site striving to share knowledge is to be publicly accessible to all which 
at the moment it is not.
Search engines won't be able to crawl it, people without an account won't be 
able to access it.

Can this be changed?

Thanks

Any chance you can also publish the SRPMs?

Re: [CentOS] CentOS, PHP & OwnCloud/Nextcloud: the version dilemma

[Nux!]

Unfortunately the same can be said about Ruby, RoR, Python etc etc etc.

Personally I think it's perfectly reasonable to track Nextcloud upgrades 
combined with SCL major upgrades once every couple of years.

+1 SCL, as Johnny says this is what they are for.
You can easily run multiple PHP versions via php-fpm, fastcgi etc.

Re: [CentOS-virt] Lightweight alternative to virt-manager

[Nux!]

Your best bet is running virt-manager via SSH X11 forwarding.
In all my searches I have not met a reasonable replacement for it alas, 
everything else is either very buggy or bloated or both.
(Which is why customers go for Xenserver and Hyperv).

Somewhat offtopic, I can also recommend Proxmox if you're not really adamant on 
staying on CentOS, it's basically Xenserver-like, but on top of Debian/KVM; 
really nice UI and set of features.

HTH

Can you be more specific as to the subnets you are using and how?

PEERROUTES could affect your case, but I doubt it. It is used by 
NetworkManager, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1107328

Re: [CentOS] Best practices for copying lots of files machine-to-machine

[Nux!]

Hi,

Rsync can maintain symlinks, hardlinks and give you a progress report as well; 
not to mention it can resume interruptions should they occur.

Having said that, even with your space problem, it is possible to use tar to 
pack files during transfer, on the fly which should be faster than rsync.
Just search for "tar over ssh".

To be honest Freenode is nice and I'd be sad to see it replaced with anything.

Re: [CentOS] OT: systemd Poll

I'm ok with it as a init system, not much enthused by its ancillary components.

Re: [CentOS] Network configuration: desktop vs. laptop

[Nux!]

Hi Niki,

On CentOS it's normal for both wireless and wired to be connected at the same 
time, maybe what you are seeing is just the icon's being confusing or not being 
replaced with the right thing?

This is easy to check, just issue an "ip route". On My system I can see 
something like this:

default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0  proto static 
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.16  metric 1 
192.168.0.0/24 dev wlan0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.13  metric 2

Routing will prefer eth0 (wired), with the smaller metric, giving you the 
better performance.

I found this quite handy a couple of times, say you remove the laptop from the 
desk and go in the garden or something, you won't lose your connections.

Ok, sure.

For bridging physical with wireless you could use parprouted.

You can just put the credentials in a my.cnf file to avoid entering them all

e.g.  /root/.my.cnf

Re: [CentOS-virt] Network isolation for KVM guests

[Nux!]

Just create a bridge, hook the host physical interface that you want in it, 
hook the VMs interface in it, done.
No need for passthrough.

This can be done via libvirt/virsh or if a UI is wanted then virt-manager makes 
this really easy.

Now assign an IP in the VM and it should work. You don't need to assign any IP 
on he host interface itself. Rinse and repeat for the rest of the interfaces.

That perl lib was most likely in EPEL at the time I added Frozen Bubble. They

Hi,

I've used Davmail against sExchange in the past, with success. 
If that doesn't work for you, then the easy way out is webmail which is decent, 
in fact I have colleagues prefering it to the standard Outlook program.
Office365 does offer IMAP though and it works reasonably well, I use it with 
Thunderbird, hopefully they won't disable that - wonder as to the reason of it.

If all you want is a really fast redirect, then indeed what those people

NameVirtualHost IP:80 (you only need this on apache 2.2 and lower, not needed 
on CentOS7 which comes with apache 2.4)


ServerName webmail.bar.com

Re: [CentOS] httpd/sites-available directory

[Nux!]

Hello,

a2ensite and co is Debian/ubuntu specific. On CentOS there is no such thing.

It's not clear to me what you are trying to achieve. Can you rephrase so we can 
help?

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 and Areca ARC-1883I SAS controller: JBOD or not to JBOD?

[Nux!]

Haven't used Areca in a very long time, but with raid controllers the rule is 
to use it in order to take advantage of the cache.
The performance gains will be more than significant, especially for writes.

Re: [CentOS] Alternative to cPanel

[Nux!]

If you want free/foss then Virtualmin. 

Very good panel, good support and they have been highly consistent over the 
years and very receptive.

CPanel has also improved massively in the last few years, well worth the price.

Re: [CentOS] Gnome weather applet stranded

I've patched libgweather with the same MATE patch and it seems to be working 
fine.
Give it a try

I've rebuilt libmateweather for EL7 with the aforementioned patch and it seems 
to have fixed the issue.
Feel free to use it until EPEL package the fix.
