Hi all, This is the third fresh install of CentOS 7 1708 the last two months that won't boot after a regular "yum update" just after the fresh install has finished. I've never had this problem before, it has just worked. The installs are on OEM's that have previously run CentOS 6.9 x64. Am I missing something here? -- BW, Sorin

Hi all, I apologise for this off-topic question, but wanted to hear from a third-party as well. Recently, like the last week or so, I've started getting blank emails from this list. Blank as in no message text is visible in the email. If I do a ctrl-A however, something does get marked. Evidently there is a message, just not visible. This particular list is the only one I've noticed

Hi all, I've previously configured sendmail to send system messages on selected servers running CentOS 6. Usually they just kinda' work out of the box. No problems to speak of. However most of my CentOS 7-servers are rather flakey when it comes to sendmail. Most of the time they just won't send mails for whatever reason. Further, most of the time I can get it working, it's

Hi all, Just tested the new CentOS 6.8 release on a few VMs and a physical box and got a kernel panic. Is it just me, or anybody else as well? Just fishing for now, will look into the issue more thoroughly later today. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem #

Hi all, Just recently I started getting the dreaded message about my CentOS 6.7 x64-installation wasn't going to be supported anymore by Google Chrome. "This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because this Linux system will no longer be supported." Doing some google searches I found this;

Hello all, This week I've tested out a few ways to do a P2V on a rather ancient CentOS 6 server, in order to move it to a Hyper-V host. So far my tests have failed rather spectacularly. Initially I was set on doing a simple dd-routine, but was told that the server cannot be taken off-line as it's being used daily, so had to look for other solutions. The disk setup is currently as

FWIW, what I've done in the past is build the raid 6's with mdraid, then use LVM to stripe them

Hello all, I'm looking into getting HP laptops for our department running CentOS 7. Last time I checked this was some five or so years ago, and when I look at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops, nothing much seems to have happened since. At that time, I had to give up CentOS on laptops, as both Wi-Fi and graphics wasn't too well supported with CentOS 5 and 6. Is the situation better

Hi all, We're getting to a point in our linux environment where it's starting to be cumbersome to keep shadow and passwd-files up-to-date for the users to login on each computer. Scripts can only get us so far. 8-/ I've looked a bit into central login systems for linux, and NIS and LDAP seem to be prevalent. NIS being the simpler-to-setup solution for small to medium networks as

Hi all, Would anybody care to suggest a third party SATA-RAID card that works out of the box with CentOS 6, without having to jump through hoops to make it work? The card should preferably be able to connect ten harddrives, but I guess three four-port cards should work as well. There's no need for anything fancy really, as long as I can create a single big software-raid on it at CentOS

Guys, I was thrown a cheap OEM-server with a 120 GB SSD and 10 x 4 TB SATA-disks for the data-backup to build a backup server. It's built around an Asus Z87-A that seems to have problems with anything Linux unfortunately. Anyway, BackupPC is my preferred backup-solution, so I went ahead to install another favourite, CentOS 6.4 - and failed. The raid controller is a Highpoint RocketRAID

I had Compaq quite some time ago (the last was bought out by HP shortly after I got my laptop), and I have seen a bunch of HP laptops people in our Department got themselves. That (dealing with these,

RAID10 in Linux is not necessarily similar to RAID1+0. The default, "near" layout is the classic 1+0 layout, but other modes of operation are supported by the RAID10 driver. > Looking at

Another smooth update.

I see Johnny Hughes has released CR-updates for CentOS 6. Is CentOS 6.4 brewing yet then? 8-) -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu [Sysadmin, Systems Engineer] # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry, Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 >3 signals> GSM # Div of Org Pharm Chem, Mobile: +46 (0)70-4250229 # Box 574, Uppsala University, Fax: +46 (0)18-4714482 #

Hi all, Did anybody notice a really slow access from Windows 7 (especially from the MS Office suite) when trying to open a Word-doc for example, that sits on a samba share on a computer recently upgraded to CentOS 6.6? It can take up to two-three minutes to open a 20 kB Word-doc... I tested with the latest available LibreOffice for Windows on the same Word-docs, but this one doesn't show

Hi all, I'm getting a segmentation fault with yum when I try to update a CentOS v5.4 install to v5.5. What I've done: * Ran yum clean all. * Ran yum update yum* * Ran yum update, and got the segmentation fault. * Yum suggested running with option --skip-broken, which I did. Still got the segmentation fault. * Rebooted machine and ran yum update again. Segmentation fault... * Googled

Hi all, For those of you that have been using the ext4 technology preview on CentOS 5.5, how has it panned out? Does it perform as expected? How do you feel the stability, creation of the FS and the administration of it is? Ideas and comments welcome. Thanks. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu [Sysadmin, Systems Engineer] # Dept of Medicinal
