[CentOS] CentOS 7 installer bug?
The other admin I work with seems to have found a bug in the installer. The setup is: two internal SSD drives. Once the GUI gets to "select drive to install on", he goes to , creates a RAID 1, and partitions it, regular MBR (they're small). 1G for /boot as the first partition, 2G for swap as the second partition, and the rest for / as partition 3. fdisk shows the partition types correctly. Back to the GUI, select the MD drive... and /boot's fine, / looks ok... but the one for swap shows with 0 bytes. Anyone else seen this behavior? mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm pretty sure you need to use a repository whose version matches the ISO, but that should be the case unless you got the netinstall ISO before 7.2 was released. Maybe pick a specific mirror, such as http://mirror.sfo12.us.leaseweb.net/centos/7/os/x86_64/ (https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/) Tried the one above and a lot of others replied to John, many others. This is one of those situation where accurate understandable documentation would be worthwhile. To be fair, an accurate description of what you're doing would be worthwhile, too. I downloaded http://mirror.sfo12.us.leaseweb.net/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-1511.iso. Its sha256sum is 9ed9ffb5d89ab8cca834afce354daa70a21dcb410f58287d6316259ff89758f5, which matches sha256sum.txt. I booted from the ISO, selected "installation source" and entered "mirror.sfo12.us.leaseweb.net/centos/7/isos/x86_64/" in the field to the right of the "http://"; prefix.

I used Anaconda to do the partitioining, did NOT partition the drives beforehand like you did. creating RAID in Anaconda is not especially intuitive, but it can be done. here's the general recipe I followed: http://www.ictdude.com/howto/install-centos-7-software-raid-lvm/ you can also do manual partitioning if you don't want LVM, just define your own partitions and specify whatever non-LVM filesystem you prefer. it's not, as I said, exactly intuitive, but if you play around with it for a while you'll be able to figure it out. it might be easiest to create a VM and try it there until you get it the way you like.

What is the best practice to upgrade > security relevant packages on live systems without service interruption? I will do the obligatory point out that JUST installing security updates and NOT also installing all the other updates that the security updates were built against is NOT supported in either CentOS or RHEL. For example, look at this errata : https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-2655.html Read the Solution section, where it says: "Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied." This does not say all previous security errata or some selected group of packages .. it says 'all previously released errata'. That means all Bugfix, Enhancement, and Security updates that were released before this errata was released .. and that means run a 'yum update' and install all updates. If you are picking only security updates and all not all updates, then that is not a tested secure solution. The only supported and tested solution is all updates. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] KDE Dying Overnight After Centos 7 Upgrade
On two blades both with Atom Processors but different Graphics chips (a Matrox WPCM450 on one, Intel 82945Gon the other). One machine had distorted video and required logging out of KDE and then back again. The other one had no video and required ssh from another box to restart X remotely (which I didn't think I should be able to do). Does anyone else see problems with KDE ( or X) after the upgrade? I'm not getting any obvious error messages, but my gut level says it is a problem with X rather than KDE. I haven't had the time to troubleshoot this properly, but when (if) it happens tomorrow I will see what I can find. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This update set (if you were not using the CR repo before) performed an upgrade from CentOS-7.1.1503 to CentOS-7.2.1511 .. which included a rebase of KDE from 4.10 to 4.14 and Xorg from 1.15 to 1.17 .. it also included a kernel upgrade which requires a reboot. Restarting X would definitely be required. So, if after the restart things are working then that is to be expected. I would reboot after the major update if at all possible.

I don't see a "-rebuild" option used on the page you reference.
Rather there's "-ep .rpm", shown in "3.". Trying it
just now worked. I got a warning on the rebuild, but a new .rpm was
generated, which I was able to install and got google-earth to start
up.
If you follow the link on the second line ("I just had to follow the
steps",) at the top of the page you reference, the description in
"#32" seems to have all the necessary bits, including a link to an
rpmrebuild .rpm that will install on centos 7.2 (aka .1511) system.

yes, I found that rpmrebuild and installed it, and it did what
I needed.
I was referring to the rpmbuild command's --rebuild option, prior to
having figured out my misunderstanding.

For any of you who may be wishing Google would release a version of
Earth for Linux that actually works, the recipe on the page referred
to above actually works. I've just gone thru it all and I now have
a mostly-working GoogleEarth.
The only thing I've noticed so far that is still broken is that the
borders around the panorimo images (click on the little blue squares)
is not drawn properly, and you can't see the buttons in the top window
border. but they're still there and work if you can find 'em.
I love playing around in Google Earth. something in the news, or on one
of the Nasa sites that shows earth imagery will pique my interest and
suddenly I've spent a couple hours (or more) looking at stuff in GE.
