But if not, the log should contain something useful. I like the hypothesis about mdadm metadata version 0.9, however that's still really common on RHEL and CentOS. It

Hi, I'm currently working on my next Linux book, which will be an elementary course about CentOS administration. I'm using VirtualBox for all the installer screenshots. Since CentOS has recently been upgraded to version 7.6, I thought I might as well base all book references on this version. So I downloaded the 7.6 1810 minimal ISO and started a fresh installation in VirtualBox. I'm

Hi, My workstation is running CentOS 7 on two disks (sda and sdb) in a software RAID 1 setup. It looks like I accidentally nuked it. I wanted to write an installation ISO file to a USB disk, and instead of typing dd if=install.iso of=/dev/sdc I typed /dev/sdb. As soon as I hit <Enter>, the screen froze. I tried a hard reset, but of course, the boot process would stop short very early in

My only use for VirtualBox is making screenshots of the installer, and sometimes for a quick test, because it's easy to make a VM clone in a single click. Niki -- Microlinux -

Hi, Our desktop clients are running CentOS 7 with the Xfce desktop from EPEL. The CR repository is enabled. A few days ago I launched an update, which brought in close to 1 GB of packages. I had some weird problems on two clients. One is an old Dell Optiplex 330 with a legacy video card.

Hi, I have a CentOS 7 desktop client installed on an old Dell Optiplex computer with an Intel video card integrated into the motherboard. The card has a single VGA connector, and the 19" monitor is connected to it. I wonder how I could connect a video projector to this computer while keeping the monitor, in a mirroring configuration, e. g. output is the same on the video projector and the

Hi, I have a few identical Dell Optiplex 7010 machines that I want to use for our school's computer room. I tried to clone these installations (like I did before on CentOS 5 and various versions of Slackware), but this time I ran into a problem. Here's what I did. 1. Install one computer and zero unused hard disk sectors with dd. 2. Send the image to a local FTP server using G4L

Hi, I've done my fair share of CentOS 7 installations, but this is the first time I have this kind of weird problem. Here goes. In my office I have a battered Dell Optiplex 320 PC with two NICs that I'm using as a bare metal sandbox server for testing purposes. The CentOS 7 installer sees the connected network card as eth0. But after the first reboot, the interface comes up as eth1.

Hi, I just installed a fresh CentOS 6.6 desktop. It's a client's machine, it is physically installed on a testbench in my office. Usually, when I perform installations, I start with the base system on the testbench, and once networking is configured, I SSH into it and then do all the fine-tuning remotely. My configuration files, scripts and HOWTOs are all stored in a Github

Hi, Looks like the Audacious audio player from EPEL (which has worked fine in previous versions) is broken under CentOS 7.6. It refuses to start, and when I try to start it from the command line, here's what I get.

Hi, I'm currently setting up 389 Directory Server on a server running CentOS 7, and I have a weird and somehow showstopping bug. All the spaces are suddenly missing in the admin console. Here's a screenshot so you can get the idea : https://www.microlinux.fr/download/389-admin-console-2020.png So instead of "Standard branch for configuration information", I get

Hi everyone, I just discovered something very weird on a vanilla CentOS 7 installation. If I create a link to /tmp as a normal user, it looks like I can't remove this link anymore. Here's what this looks like: $ mkdir test_link $ cd test_link/ $ ln -s /tmp/ link_to_tmp $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 kikinovak kikinovak 5 Sep 17 10:56 link_to_tmp -> /tmp/ $ rm link_to_tmp/

Often there will be a kernel stack trace that provides hints as to which module was handling the interrupt, and
