Hi,

Is
https://sigs.centos.org/kmods/
a part of RHEL 9?
If yes, what is the repository name?
If not, when can we expect it to be included?

Hi Vidar,

Thanks a lot for the prompt action and reply.
I tested Haskell hello world in a few vagrant images (Fedora, Ubuntu,
Debian, etc.), which gave clean results on virustotal.
Great to see the issue is fixed now.

[CentOS] Is shellcheck safe?

2022-01-16 Thread Thomas Stephen Lee
Hi,

I downloaded, extracted, and ran 0.8.0

https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases

After running, I submitted the file to virustotal
with the below result.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f4bce23c11c3919c1b20bcb0f206f6b44c44e26f2bc95f8aa708716095fa0651

Should I be concerned that I ran the program once?

We faced the same problem on one machine.
We had to disable wake up on lan in bios settings.
After that, the machine stayed shut down with the "poweroff" command.

Hi,

I tried

without success

I have a feeling that bonding is for interfaces on the same network,
not two internet routers.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi,

Thanks all for the suggestions. 
Some clarifications.
The solution should be a software one without acquiring new hardware.
What is ideal is the bandwidth of two connections and half bandwidth
when one link is down.

Some suggestions in other forums say use pfSense in a Virtual Machine,
but no pointers on how to get a Network card inside the Virtual
Machine to work as one on the host.

[CentOS] LTS

2021-01-11 Thread Thomas Stephen Lee
Hi,

CentOS Linux can continue as Fedora LTS or something similar with a
five-year life cycle. After five years, users can opt for paid upgrades.
We can also work with System manufacturers to pre-install the free LTS on
their products, which will increase our user base.

This, for me, is usually the screensaver.
I pull the screen up with the mouse or press the space bar.

Now I have RHEL 8 installed for my test machine and some test Virtual
Machines.

I then subscribed to the RHSA-announce mailing list.

Now I wonder why a particular package has not been released for CentOS 8
while it has been some time on RHEL OS and mailing list.

With CentOS 7, I had no RHEL developer access, so I never wondered why a
particular update has not been released CentOS 7

I just used CentOS 7 and was happy.

Is this a valid reason for my impatience?

No (8)

does it mean it will appear in CentOS 8.2, or is already there from 8.0 ?

Hi,

If you are using CentOS 7, you can use ipset.

You can add all your IPs and IP ranges to an ipset and do operations on it.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/security_guide/sec-setting_and_controlling_ip_sets_using_firewalld

The same should have worked for CentOS 8 except for this,

Hi,

I am not an expert but,
you can try creating an ipset with the the range you need and do a drop in
iptables or firewalld.
We have used ipsets with bare iptables in CentOS 6, and firewalld in CentOS
7.
fail2ban also uses ipsets in CentOS 7.

I don't know whether the below steps are permitted.
but, you can install RHEL 8.1 Developer Edition on a VM.
Download the SRPM for your package.
Then rebuild on the CentOS machine and install the RPM.
This is just for the important fixes like security.

thanks

Re: [CentOS] Centos 8 install of squirrelmail

2019-12-03 Thread Thomas Stephen Lee
Hi,

You can rebuild the RPM on a CentOS 8 box from

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-1.el7.20190710.src.rpm
or
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/source/tree/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-2.fc31.20190710.src.rpm

and install the resulting RPM.


For the source

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/

the last commit was 6 days ago.

you can use

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/branches/SM-1_4-STABLE/squirrelmail/contrib/RPM/squirrelmail.spec

if you are interested in hacking, as the default configuration is different
from CentOS.

thanks

Hi Marius,

Will make the changes and see how it goes.

On the other hand

if the above was released we could just install and migrate to

Re: [CentOS] Crashed a CentOS 8 installation.

Hi,

The mistake was EFI.

The source CentOS 7.7 machine was EFI boot.

and the destination CentOS 8 VM was non EFI.

Made a VM snapshot and wrote a script to install the packages one by one
and reboot each time.

The VM crashed at

grub2-efi-x64.x86_64

thanks.

[CentOS] Crashed a CentOS 8 installation.

2019-10-16 Thread Thomas Stephen Lee
Hi,

Note: Please do this on a test VM.

My issue:

I took the output of the following command

$ yum list installed | xargs -n3 | column -t  | tail -n +3 |cut -d' ' -f1 >
packages.list

from a CentOS 7.7 Installation.

and did

$ dnf install $(cat packages.list) --setopt=strict=0

on Freshly installed Minimal CentOS 8 VM.

When I reboot I get

Failed to switch root: Specified switch root path /sysroot does not seem to
be an OS tree. os-release file is missing.

What am I doing wrong?

packages.list attached
