 The version of cloud-init packaged in CentOS 7 Extras is rather old

We were happy to discover yesterday that cloud-init 0.7.9 is now included in 
base/7/x86_64. Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

Re: [CentOS] Update to 7.4 using DVD

[Jerry Geis]

Hi Johnny

Thanks for the commands I think something was messed up as the yum
group install "Gnome Desktop" seems to do the trick.
I had all the other items setup, for disable nouveu and all that.for the
binary NVIDIA.

Anyway - my desktop is back up and running, thanks.

​Right, and one other aspect of ELRepo's kmod package is that it survives
kernel updates silently. With Nvidia's script, you need to run it upon
every kernel update.​

Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1708) on x86_64
Message-ID: <93441a2b-09f1-3577-6f02-76cace36b...@centos.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"


I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7
(1708) for 64 bit x86 compatible machines. Effectively immediately, this
is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1708, derived
from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4

As always, read through the Release Notes at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 - these notes
contain important information about the release and details about some
of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes
are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from
the users.

--
Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos

Updates released since we froze the iso and install media content are
posted in the updates repo along with the release. This will include
content from late Aug 2017 and Sept 2017, therefore anyone
running a new install is highly encouraged to run a 'yum update'
operation immediate on install completion.  You can apply all updates,
including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux
7/x86_64 machine by just running 'yum update'.

As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built from
sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a
byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and
buildsys process) are being published to match every binary RPM we
release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own
dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since
there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the
binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror
network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the
reposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source
RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary
counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and
contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code
hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how
to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Sources

Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs
shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for
debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install.

This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS
Linux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their
machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to
handle stale content is included in the Release Notes.

Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same
applications are trim'd off from repos like Extras/ and Plus/ However
this time we have also extended this to the sIG content hosted at
mirror.centos.org, and some older End of Life content has been dropped.
Everything we ever release, is always available on the vault service for
people still looking for and have a real need for it.

--
Download

In order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to get
the mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend using
torrents to get your initial installer images:

Details on the images are available on the mirrors at
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/0_README.txt - that file
clearly highlights the difference in the images, and when one might be
more suitable than the others.

The sizes, sha256 sums for the ISO files:

[CentOS] JRE 8.1 for CentOS6

[Larry Martell]

I have some software that says it requires JRE 8.1 or higher. If I go
to 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
and install jre-8u144-linux-x64.rpm I get jrel.8.0_144. Anyone know
where I can get 8.1?

The latest JRE is JRE 8u144 (version 8, update 144). There's no such
thing as JRE 8.1.

A search for "JRE 8.1 or higher" had no hits at all.

That's very odd, since technically JRE 8 is java 1.8 (and JRE 7 is/was 1.7;
JRE 6 was 1.6, et cetera).

Sorry I mistyped it says 1.8 or greater. I did install that and I
still get the message. It's remote control software for an IBM system.

Do you have a lower version Java installed?  
What does command 'java -version' say?

IBM has their own flavor of Java.  Is it looking for that?

I don't know. I am running CentOS6 and then trying to run their remote

For some of the IBM hardware I have had to use a new Java but an old
copy of Firefox. The best explanation I have is probably flawed but it
was that the hardware wanted SSL1/SSL2 type stuff which the new
Firefox and items blocked. There is probably a better way to fix it.

Re: [CentOS] Intel Skylake Server

[Mark (Netbook)]

Hello,

I have a pre-production Intel Skylake server using dual 8176 processors (28 
core @2.1Ghz)

I have loaded from the DVD distribution CentOS 7.3 and RHEL 7.4 with no 
problems.

When I try and load CentOS 6.9 the boot process hangs just as the Anaconda 
graphics is started for CentOS configuration.

If I use a secondary graphics card then the process completes with no problems 
and CentOS boots from the system disk error free.

The server uses AST2500 graphics as standard. This seems to be the problem.

What I need is an iso file that I can load during the initial boot process.

I have tried various grub options and they don’t work.

The reason that I am trying CentOS 6.9 is that many people have applications 
which will only run on CentOS 6.*.

 Sorry I mistyped it says 1.8 or greater. I did install that and I
 still get the message. It's remote control software for an IBM
 system.

I have FF version 24.6.0 - probably very old. This is a locked down
machine, not on the internet, so installing anything is a pain.

In my case, that was the working version I needed for the IBM
hardware. However I just realized the opposite might be also possible.
The hardware is wanting to talk a newer version of TLS that your old
browser can't use. In either case talking with the hardware vendor to
find exactly what they are expecting in both TLS, Java and other parts
is needed.

That's common now that everyone puts re-directs in to force everyone to use 
https.

Can you get to the Apache logs on the remote machine? They may have more info.

The error about Java 1.8 might be a red-herring.

If the remote machine uses Perl on the backend, you might try setting the shell 
env variable OPENSSL_PREFIX to point on your local CentOS6 box to a newer 
version of openssl that handles the TLS handshake. The CPAN module Net::SSLeay 
uses that variable (if set) to use the specified OpenSSL library.

[CentOS] lighttpd and cgi error reporting

[hw]

Hi,

is there a way to get error messages created by CGI perl programs (not fastCGI)
logged with lighttpd?  Apache used to put all errors into its error log and
lighttpd does not.  That makes debugging rather difficult.

The remote machine is an IMM (Integrated Management Module). I can
connect to that from a browser and then use a remote contol function
to control the machine that is attached to the IMM. That machine will
not boot so I want to see the console, which I usually can via this RC
software. It worked before but yesterday I updated the firmware to fix
another issue and that changed java requirements and now RC does not
work.

CentOS 6.9 kernel does not have support for Skylake processors, I believe
that there is an alternate arch SIG that "may" be able to compile 6.9 with
a newer kernel or you may have to compile something using the kernel that
is available from ELRepo.

Or use another graphic card that is compatible with the kernel that comes
with CentOS 6.9.

I used to have issues with Java and our IBM IMM's but seem to have it working 
on my MAC using java 8 build 144 and Safari. You *may* need to add the host imm 
ip address to your exception site list under the java security tab, if you 
haven’t already.

Hello,
Although you've instaled Oracle JRE 1.8, OpenJDK is the default, as you can

Remove OpenJDK and execute java -version again.

Or, change the path.  the java command sets java_home internally based

How can I run yum remove without it trying to access the net? This

Is the java plugin enabled in your browser? That's not the default nowadays.

if you are running firefox you can check this by opening 'about:plugins'.

here - configured for older HP ILOs -  for example, the plugin is linked
into my firefox profile:

[ulf@bob ~]$ ll .mozilla/firefox/ln5frqem.default/plugins

Re: [CentOS] Intel Skylake Server

[Mark (Netbook)]

CentOS 6.9 has support for the Haswell processor which is a subset of the 
Skylake.


All Skylake server ancillary components work perfectly with CentOS 6.9.

The AST2500 used with the Skylake is very good and will process UHD. However 
this is not backwards compatible with legacy variants.


To make it work an ancillary graphics card is required which is less than 
$100. This will not break the bank.

When I try and load CentOS 6.9 the boot process hangs just as the Anaconda
graphics is started for CentOS configuration.



CentOS 6.9 kernel does not have support for Skylake processors, I believe
that there is an alternate arch SIG that "may" be able to compile 6.9 with
a newer kernel or you may have to compile something using the kernel that
is available from ELRepo.

Or use another graphic card that is compatible with the kernel that comes
with CentOS 6.9.

Note that there can be issues. My desktop is:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz

...and it wasn't until 7.4 that it'd run without crashing when using anything
attached to xHCI.

For a server, USB probably isn't an issue, but this seemed worth noting.

I am running a very old versiond of FF, 24.6.0, and the menus and
files are different. But I do not have a java plugin. But please note
that this used to work until today when I upgraded the firmware in the
IMM. That changed the java version required, so I updated that. But
the FF version and config has not changed.

So it sounds like the links needed for the plugin to work are not
configured on the system. So you have some symlinks pointing to the
openjdk with the system and some pointing the one you tried to
install. I don't know how you installed this new jdk so it may be for
many different reasons.

I installed it by downloading the rpm and installing that. IBM said on
my older FF the app/plugin is called JNLP and I should change the
setting for that to 'always ask' and then when it asks use javaws - I
did that but it still fails.

[CentOS] Running COS 7.1708 on VirtualBox 5.1.28

Anyone else having issues getting the VB drivers to load on 1708?


I keep gettting an "Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux

I do have kernel-devel installed and I had no issues running 1611 on the same

I think you mean VirtualBox 5.1.26. And yes, there's some trouble with
it with the latest update. Check out the CentOS 1708 release notes.

Workaround is to use VirtualBox 5.1.26 with the 5.1.27
VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. Tried this out here, works perfectly.

Again, please enter 'about:plugins' in the address bar of your browser
to make sure, that the right java version is activated.

But normally javaws is a different topic. As far as i remember, there
should be an option to let firefox ask, which javaws should be executed.
As i understand, you have different version installed.

And at last, please check the security options with jcontrol. Newer java
version are more restricted about security settings.

When this was working before the firmware update the RC software
invoked IcedTea. As one of the attempted fixes IBM suggested using
javaws instead. Intially I did not have javaws but I did have
javaws.itweb. I tried that and it failed in the same way.

Then they asked me to run this:

alternatives --config java

There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.

  SelectionCommand
---
*+ 1   /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
   2   /usr/java/jre1.8.0_144/bin/jav


And switch to the second one. When I did that it still failed with
IcedTea, but then there was a javaws. I ran that and it did completely
different things and finally failed with "Login error". They they had
me go into ControlPanel and put the IP address of the IMM in the
excpetion site list. I did that and then I get: KVM Java: Duplicate
exists. Then they gave up and said they don't know.

That's OpenJDK instead of Oracle.

Maybe you should also try 'alternatives --config javaws' to switch to
the Oracle java webstart. But i'm not sure that this is possible for javaws.

Do you know how I can associate IcedTea with Oracle's JRE?

Ah, yes, I do have that. It's the same as running ControlPanel - that

You can try to replace the icedtea plugin with the one from Oracle.
As i wrote in my first mail. Try to locate the plugin folder of your
firefox installation (maybe in your ff profile or system wide in the
firefox folder), backup the old plugin and place there a symlink to the
oracle plugin (/usr/java/jre1.8.0_144/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so).
