[CentOS] 7.3 and USB headphones
Hi all! I wish to give huge thankyous to KB and all the others who worked to get 7.3 out the door. Many thanks! I have some good things and some bad. A good thing is that unlike previous versions, when I plug in my USB headphones they are automatically recognized and I get sound without having to change anything! (which is a huge win from before when I had to mess with settings, sometimes for a few minutes, to get headphone sound and microphone audio.) The not so good thing is that I don't have any working volume control for that sound. Nothing I have found will change the sound volume in the headphones except the little dongle-thing that is inline in the headphone cord. sometimes when messing with it strange things happen on the screen that I don't understand, so I prefer to just leave it alone. (one thing I don't know is if the microphone is enabled, too, when it is plugged in... I'll probably find out tomorrow when I have an online class.)

Re: [CentOS] Panic on boot with 7.3 kernels when decrypting hard drive

Df reports that /boot has 80% free space right now; I would assume that's enough but I don't know. I need to remove a few of the old kernels I've got taking up space. There are a few initramfs-*kdump.img files that have appeared that I assume might be helpful in tracking down the problems? I changed the boot arguments (and also added the args to automatically reboot following a panic, which fixes one of my problems), and I'm definitely getting kernel panics. Both 4.4.39-1 and 4.9.0-1 end up with pretty much the same issue: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt." I know the details of the panic can/should be kept in a log somewhere, but that's where my limited experience fails me--I see references to Xorg.0.log and boot.log online, but those seem to only keep the details of the most recent boot. I used the not-so-high-tech method of taking a photo of my laptop's screen output before it restarted, and it seems like the panic details for both kernels started with a "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0008" and followed shortly by an "Oops: [#1] SMP." Beyond that, the behavior seems to be somewhat inconsistent--the first time I booted the 4.9 kernel without the quiet rhgb args it seemed to hang on something related to ipv6 setup without actually getting into a panic, but I foolishly didn't capture any of the other details. The pre-7.3 4.4.36-1 kernel that had been working just fine now seems to fail in a panic every other boot, and I'm currently working from within the latest 3.10.0-514 kernel that came with 7.3, which had previously failed to boot in a panic as well. This is somewhat embarassing because I was feeling pretty confident that I had pretty much gotten the hang of regular Linux use, but now it feels like I somehow caused some major problems when I updated to 7.3 (though I didn't do anything beyond "yum update.") If I were back on Windows, this would be the part where I backup my files and start from a fresh install, since that was usually the least painless way to fix major system problems. Is there a possibility that this is fixable, or would that be a good strategy to employ here? Or does this suggest something more serious, like a hardware issue? My apologies for dragging beginner's issues here into a mailing list for an enterprise OS; CentOS just works so nicely, decently responsive with low resource usage and was (up until now) completely stable on my aging X301.

This makes me think it has the 3rd-party fglrx drivers installed, but the new kernel you rebooted into didn't, and the GL stuff is broken. Gnome3 requires a working GL X server, even if it's Mesa.

What if you boot into runlevel 3 (that is no gdm or kdm...), log in into virtual console, rename all X related stuff in /etc, and from command line execute startx ? What do you get spit on console, and what do you get in xorg log? Incidentally, do you have security system that watches file changes? That may tell you a lot. As an alternative, you may take a look at differential backup - whatever was newly backed up may tell you a story.

[CentOS] CentOS 7, ATI video, ex-X
A user running gnome came in this morning, clicked on the application menu... and it was much shorter than he expected. He could get to firefox, and googled about refreshing that... and found something that told him to reboot. And that's it: I cannot get X up, at all. I just get the "oh, no, something failed, please log out and try again". Fully updated CentOS 7, [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240/340 OEM], and, like most of us, he uses two monitors. . I've tried removing the xorg.conf, and renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf, which was there (I didn't put it there when I built the box a few months ago.) I don't see anything even vaguely useful in the Xorg logs... and, for that reason, not sure why I'm on Xorg.3.log, other than it may have been created by startx. I've tried that, both as root, and as myself, get that "oh, no" screen, and when I hit enter to log out, I get a live but black screen, completely unresponsive. I don't see any errors in dmesg or messages, and I've tried reinstalling xorg-x11-drv-ati, which gives me xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.el7.x86_64. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Not only has the package been removed from EPEL, upstream also seemed to have disappeared. This mysterious disappearance tickled my curiosity. Looked around a bit on the net, to find that wikipedia already knows what I didn't: Upstream has moved from www.directfb.org to www.directfb.net.

Never mind, I was able to download the devel RPM by simply adding “-devel" to the appropriate place in the download URL for the base DirectFB package. I just could not find the corresponding build info page from which to download it. Now I just have to modify my kickstart process to install my local copies of these 2 RPMs so that any new systems I build are properly configured.

This is how you can find them: I went to the package directory: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/directfb/ They are all retired, but when you click on the builds status, you still see the old builds. click on the last build for Epel6, and you find https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=665511 which has the download links for all architectures. hope this helps, Timotheus ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
