[CentOS] CentOS 8 Stream: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

2020-12-09 Thread Joshua Kramer
Hello All- After reading and digesting a ton of community chatter about the recent CentOS announcement I've come to the conclusion that there's a lot of good about this, but there are also a lot of concerns that are being ignored. And nobody so far has stared directly into the eyes of the elephan

2020-12-16 Thread Joshua Kramer
I asked about this before. As far as CentOS itself is concerned this is an unknown. For me it's kind of annoying because I just set up a couple of Raspi 4's with CentOS 8 for a home automation system right before this announcement was made. Having said that- there is a little known distro called

It's also worth noting that there is a CentOS 8 SD Card image for Raspberry Pi 4. That's what I used. It was dirt simple to "install"- simply dd the image file to an actual SD card, put it in the RasPi, and go! (Allthough in my case, I made some modifications to the filesystems before actually b

Hi Konstantin, Debugging login issues between SSD, PAM, and AD is not for the faint of heart. In my case I set up Samba 4.3 as a primary AD DC. I could login with Windows 10 guests but not C8. I just did the following. 1. I spun up a fresh C8 VM, did not add any users, selected a graphical desk

@Johnny Hughes- what version of the nVidia drivers did you have problems with, and what were the problems? I'm just curious. I have a Latitude E7450 with an M840 chipset and I've never had problems compiling or getting them to work under stock CentOS 8 kernels. On Fri, Apr 9, 2021 at 12:54 PM Jo

You may get just as much SSD "savings" by putting /var/log and /tmp into a RAM disk. I do this with all of my Raspberry Pi's, since SD cards burn through pretty quickly, and I have several that haven't had their SD cards replaced in a couple years. On Wed, Feb 9, 2022 at 5:10 PM Kenneth Porter w

I'm not sure how much freedom you have with your setup, but you could always try to use the elrepo-ml or elrepo-lt kernels. The elrepo-ml kernel follows the published version pretty closely, so for example right now I'm running 5.17.3 on my el8 boxes. The newer kernels solve a lot of hardware iss
