Dear Experts, Sorry about taking shortcut and asking everybody... My question is: how do you avoid "firstboot" screen in latest CentOS 7.3 kickstart. I have installed about a dozen of CentOS 7 (none of which was 7.3) with that kickstart file. None of them ever went to firstboot screen on first boot. Now after kickstart installation of CentOS 7.3 it goes into firstboot screen showing

Dear Experts, After one of updates that was released some time ago (a Month ago or maybe even earlier) I have noticed the following. On the machines with default runlevel 5 (sorry about old terminology, the new one is still confusing for me ;-) GUI/X11 login (display manager) lists only users whose default shell is bash. Or, at least users whose default shell is tcsh are not listed at all, and if

Dear All, Quite some time ago I have noticed that kernel updated quite often "come in pairs". That is, if there was no kernel update for quite some time, and, say, today kernel update for some system level (say, CentOS 6) was released, then it is quite likely that there will be yet one more kernel update for the same system level 3-5 days later. As if the kernel is first patched quick

Currently firstboot would only work on redhat-based images. Handle redhat-based, suse-based and debian guests, error out in case of an unknown distro. Update firstboot.sh: - make sure scripts exists and can be executed - add LSB header to avoid insserv warnings later on - run script only if called with "start" Update functions, pass only required options.

Currently we install a systemd service named firstboot.service and a SysV service named virt-sysprep-firstboot. On systems where systemd is the init system and runs with the SysV compatibility, the different names make systemd handle them as different services, and thus trying to run the firstboot script runner twice. Rename both the systemd service and the SysV one to guestfs-firstboot: the new

Some observations. When I installed 6.0 (base install), the installation interface did not guide me through a network configuration.? I do static IP addresses, not DHCP. I ended up manually configuring the various /etc/sysconfig files.? I forgot to do the GATEWAY configuration and it took me awhile to figure out why I wasn't able to connect to the server from outside the LAN. I also forgot
