[CentOS] anaconda not installing to sda?

2017-09-27 Thread Christopher Wood
I'm having what appears at first glance to be a kickstart+anaconda issue on 
CentOS 7.4.

As near as I can tell in the program.log in the anaconda environment, the 
partitioning instructions downloaded with the kickstart from cobbler appear to 
simply not be applied. Then /mnt/sysimage is not mounted, the logs are not 
copied to /mnt/sysimage/root and the installation stalls due to the anamon 
checking. (Also anaconda is trying to e2fsck /dev/loop devices which is 
puzzling.)

If anybody has hints about what I would double-check or if you've resolved a 
similar issue I would be quite interested.

More details:

I see the same behaviour after cutting most items out of the cobbler kickstart 
template, however I confirm that /run/install/ks.cfg in the anaconda 
environment has the following:

ignoredisk --only-use=sda

zerombr
bootloader --location=mbr
clearpart --all
part / --label="/" --fstype=ext4 --grow --asprimary

program.log from the anaconda environment is here:

https://gist.github.com/christopherwood/72f390d7e5788b9bc9e841d40c926895

The system does boot and install just fine from the CentOS 7.4 iso without 
being kickstarted.

This is on vmware (esxi 6.0), I've tried with the paravirtual and lsi logic 
scsi controllers with the same result.

I've tried different previously (CentOS 7.3) working cobbler profiles that do 
not work with 7.4 now.

If I change the drive name (sda) to a ludicrous value anaconda simply errors, 
so at some level it's understanding about sda.

Hi, folks,

   Well, still more fun (for values of fun approaching zero):

   1. Went to install CUDA 9.0... well, gee, there is *no* CUDA 9.0.
Even though I installed the 9 repo, all that I get is 8. I've
used their webform, and an waiting on a reply.
   2. I remove all nvidia packages.
   3. It appears that the kmod-nvidia is what I need; that's what
nvidia-detect says. So I try to install... bzzt, thank you

is there a way to set the I/O scheduler via a tuned profile?

If so, can the scheduler be set for different disks individually?

If your intention is to use current NVIDIA drivers, you could try the
download from their website.  I´ve had good success with installing them
directly from the download NVIDIA provides.

I know we aren´t supposed to do that, but after using that for years and
then using distribution-provided NVIDIA drivers, I went back to the NVIDIA
package because that was far more trouble-free and continues to be so.
When you get a new kernel and when some libraries are updated, you need to
reinstall the NVIDIA drivers, but I can live with that.

Anyone got any ideas?

You don't say which version of the 340 series driver you have tried.

There was a bug with recent legacy releases that affected el7.4 kernels.
We (elrepo) patched the driver to fix that on rhel7.4 releases. I'm not
sure but it _may_ have been fixed in the 340.104 driver released last
week - I've not bothered building it as the changelog only mentions
"Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels" which we
patched/fixed in our the previous release and other issues which don't
affect kmods on RHEL.

So it sounds like a known issue which has already been fixed. If you
don't want to use our packages, maybe take a look at the patch and try
applying it to your build.


Tested 340.76, 340.102, 340.104 (elrepo and proprietary).
No luck over here with a GTX260 and the 64b-drivers.

Will test some more, if still no luck, I'll just reinstall from scratch.




The kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-4.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64.rpm driver should 
work for your card on el7.4.


All previous releases in elrepo were for el7.3 (and earlier) and are not 
compatible with the el7.4 series kernel.

kmod packages are a special class of package on RHEL that take advantage 
of the stable kernel ABI in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When a kmod 
package is compiled against a kernel, the kernel module will be 
installed for that kernel and the weak-modules script will then weak 
link the module against all other kABI-compatible kernels installed on 
the system. This means that you do not need to rebuild the kernel module 
for each and every kernel update (or worse, delay updating your kernel 
whilst you wait for me to rebuild the module for you).


So yes, the module will likely be installed against a previous kernel, 
and maybe one that isn't even installed on your system. But it will weak 
link against your current kernel(s) providing none of the kernel symbols 
used by the module have changed between the kernel the module was built 
against and the current kernel in question. If you don't understand, 
just think of it as magic and be grateful you are running an Enterprise 
Linux kernel and not a fedora kernel.


As to the earlier error messages, have you been playing with depmod? 
Where is your modules.dep for your installed kernels? Anyway, the magic 
described above has likely not worked correctly due to missing 
modules.dep, so I would uninstall the nvidia packages, sort out your 
kernel(s) / depmod information and try again once you have a sane system.

Odd. The original kernel is installed, so I don't know why modules.dep
wasn't there. I haven't had to run depmod before.

Btw, about your previous email: nvidia-detect tells me to use kmod-nvidia
for the  K20c. When I go to the elrepo page about it, and follow the link,
for the 340, I don't see it supporting them, but the non-legacy does.

Re: [CentOS] Semi-OT: hardware: NVidia proprietary driver, C7.4

2017-09-27 Thread m . roth
Ok... I've cleaned up, ran a depmod on the previous/original kernel, and
reinstalled kmod-nvidia. Both the depmod and the install didn't find a
modules.order and another one, but seemed to install fine.

Now, I see that kmod-nvidia includes the nvidia-uvm-kmod, as well as cuda
libraries. How do I test to see if it can see the Tesla cards? It used to
be that I'd install cuda, build the samples, and run enum_gpu. When I
rebuilt the other server, with a pair of M2090s, I could build the
proprietary install, and install cuda, and then build the samples, and run
bin/deviceQueryDrv.

Is there something I can run that I can see that it sees the cards? I
haven't found anything yet.

Complete!

Well, no it's not complete, and it's trying to install in the *previous*
kernel, not the running one.



kmod packages are a special class of package on RHEL that take advantage
of the stable kernel ABI in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When a kmod
package is compiled against a kernel, the kernel module will be
installed for that kernel and the weak-modules script will then weak
link the module against all other kABI-compatible kernels installed on
the system. This means that you do not need to rebuild the kernel module
for each and every kernel update (or worse, delay updating your kernel
whilst you wait for me to rebuild the module for you).


Ok. I had thought it did.


So yes, the module will likely be installed against a previous kernel,
and maybe one that isn't even installed on your system. But it will weak
link against your current kernel(s) providing none of the kernel symbols
used by the module have changed between the kernel the module was built
against and the current kernel in question. If you don't understand,
just think of it as magic and be grateful you are running an Enterprise
Linux kernel and not a fedora kernel.

As to the earlier error messages, have you been playing with depmod?
Where is your modules.dep for your installed kernels? Anyway, the magic
described above has likely not worked correctly due to missing
modules.dep, so I would uninstall the nvidia packages, sort out your
kernel(s) / depmod information and try again once you have a sane system.


Odd. The original kernel is installed, so I don't know why modules.dep
wasn't there. I haven't had to run depmod before.

Btw, about your previous email: nvidia-detect tells me to use kmod-nvidia
for the  K20c. When I go to the elrepo page about it, and follow the link,
for the 340, I don't see it supporting them, but the non-legacy does.

   mark



I would trust what nvidia-detect tells you. It is based on the 
definitive information provided by NVIDIA in their docs:

[CentOS] Centos 7 Mate desk top

2017-09-27 Thread Pete Geenhuizen
I upgraded to C 7.4 from C 6.9 on my laptop and all was well.  As with 
C6 and the other C7 hosts that I have, if launch a terminal from the 
desktop it opens in [ user@host Desktop ]$ which is just fine.


I restored parts of my C 6.9 home into C7.4 and now everything shows up 
on my desktop and when I open a terminal it now opens up in  [ user@host 
~ ]$


Obviously I overwrote the setting, that controls where the terminal 
opens.  I've searched high and low but for the life of me I can't 
determine where that parameter is set.  I've done some searches but 
haven't been able to get the right incantation that would yield an answer


Does anyone know how I can resolve this dilemma?

Thanks

Pete

I had that problem... and yes, it was some site's page with wild or

Yes.

It can also be accessed from within Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons ->

Yes, I sense your frustration; I've had my fair share of it with

[CentOS] Thunderbird in CentOS 7.4

2017-09-27 Thread Alice Wonder
With the current Thunderbird I can not connect to one of my IMAP servers 
that uses a self-signed cert. Virtually identical IMAP servers that use 
CA signed certs work


I was a bit out of date when I updated to 7.4 and was running 
Thunderbird 45.6.x and it worked.


When I connected from evolution (which I do not like) it worked.

When I connected with my laptop still running 45.6.x it works.

so - I rebuilt thunderbird 45.8.0 from 7.3 updates (newest that isn't 
5x.x.x series) and did an --oldpackage update with RPM and it works again.


When rebuilding the old thunderbird in mock I had to add the following:

BuildRequires:  dbus-glib-devel

Either the build system used by CentOS automatically includes that, or a 
build dependency use to pull that it but no longer does.


Anyway if anyone is having a similar problem, that's a solution.

-=-

This is what I see in the mail server log when current CentOS 
thunderbird tries to connect:


Sep 25 20:17:49 librelamp dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth 
attempts in 1 secs): user=<>, 
rip=2600:1010:b064:f260:e83e:562d:2316:18df, 
lip=2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fee4:310c, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() 
failed: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown 
ca: SSL alert number 48, session=


---

Since it works with current evolution and with older thunderbird, I 
assume it is a bug in current thunderbird when the server is using a 
self-signed cert.


Don't know if same thing happens on pop.

I use IMAP on 143 using starttls

Have you imported your certificate(s) in thunderbird?

Preferences > Advanced > Certificates


When Thundirbird first attempts it offers to import. Under older version 
it only asks once, and when I import, it's fine until I replace the 
certificate (once a year, cert is good for three years but I generate 
new once a year - I just make it good for three in case life gets in the 
way).


The nee thunderbird continually asks but still fails to connect.

However as soon as I switched back to the older version, it didn't even 
need to ask because I had already made an exception for that certificate.


Old thunderbird works as expected, new doesn't.
