I've done a bit of experimenting with a few other computers and found that if I switch to lightdm first, then upgrade to Centos 8.5 everything works just fine and as expected. If I upgrade to 8.5 first and reboot while still using gdm I can't log back in with Mate and though I can still log in with Gnome. I think the easiest course of action here is to install and activate lightdm first, then do the upgrade to 8.5.

Installing lightdm from the stenscorp/lightdm was indeed the fix. Now my desktop is back to looking and working like it's supposed to be. For the next guy who needs to do this, here are the exact commands needed: dnf copr enable stenstorp/lightdm dnf install lightdm systemctl disable gdm.service systemctl enable lightdm.service Then reboot. You'll probably have to select Mate from the drop-down list at the top right of the login screen but you only have to make that selection once.

[CentOS] Notes attached to files on Gnome
Since my Mate desktop is currently lost at sea (see the "Mate desktop crashes at startup after update to Centos 8.5.2111" thread that I started earlier today) I'm using Gnome at the moment and have a question. Old versions of Gnome and the current Mate allow you to right-click on a file, select Properties and add a note to a file. After that a little "note" icon attaches itself to the file and you can go back to Properties and read your note. "File downloaded from x" or "Talked to Joe about this on Monday" or "This version doesn't work" or whatever you like. I don't know if there's a particular limit to how long a note can be but I have several multi-line notes and haven't run into a limit yet. This functionality is extremely handy and I use it extensively. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be present in modern Gnome. Is there a way to get it back? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I use Mate, currently on C8 but previously on C7 and I've never had this problem. I just have a single panel bar at the bottom (like Gnome version 1) and arrange it to suit me and it stays the way I want it between sessions.

[CentOS] Prevent a particular kernel from being deleted
Somewhat related to my inquiry earlier today about the disappearing sound card, I just got to wondering if there's a way to "pin" the kernel that works with the soundcard such that it won't be deleted with future updates until and unless there's a future kernel released that solves the sound card issue. "dnf versionlock" appears to almost do what I want, but it just locks a package to a particular version and doesn't allow it to be upgraded past that. I'd like to be able to install updated kernels as they are released, but somehow tell dnf to never delete kernel version 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64. In the normal course of events that kernel would be deleted after a certain number of kernels are installed afterward (as specified by the installonly_limit number in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. So is there a way to tell dnf to update kernels in the usual manner but always keep a certain installed version until otherwise instructed? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The only change from the default .bashrc on both machines is the addition of "unset command_not_found_handle", and in .bash_profile on mutt I have xmodmap -e "keycode 135 = 0x", which hasn't changed since 2016 according to the timestamp on the file. Other than that, the .bash* files are just the defaults. sshd_config has nothing other than the default settings for logout messages, and in any event none of these things have changed since last week and it did work then.

Since it works fine transferring files over nfs, it has to be something about the interaction with ssh. (The fact that it also works fine with ssh as a cronjob adds to the weirdness, of course.) Reading up a bit on what can cause ssh to appear to stall, I just un-commented "useDNS no" in sshd_config on both machines and restarted sshd. I think that's the default setting anyway, but I made the change and that didn't do anything for me either.

[CentOS] rsync over ssh stalls after completing the job
Here's a weird one. I have two Centos 8 machines that use rsync-over-ssh to back up files between each other. (Each machine acts as a backup machine for the other one.) There's are nightly cronjobs that do the backing up, the commands look like this: rsync -av --delete /home/mydirectory jeff:/home/mydirectorybackup That command works fine when it's run through the cronjob. When I try to run a rsync command between mutt and jeff from the commandline, that's where the problem starts. It worked a few days ago but now when I log into jeff and do a rsync to or from mutt it works fine. When I log into mutt and do a rsync to or from jeff it works and does the job, but then it seems to stall afterward and I have to hit ctrl-c to get my cursor back. Here's a test run so you can see what happens. [me@mutt temp]$ rsync -avv ../temp/ jeff:temp opening connection using: ssh jeff rsync --server -vvlogDtpre.iLsfxC . temp (7 args) sending incremental file list delta-transmission enabled bookmarks.html is uptodate ./ abc total: matches=0 hash_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=26321 ^Crsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(644) [sender=3.1.3] A file named bookmarks.html existed in both directories so it wasn't changed, and a new file abc was copied to the backup directory. Then my ctrl-c stopped the job and brought the cursor back after it stalled. scp works fine to copy files either way when logged into either machine and, again, my backup-this-to-that cronjobs that run rsync seem to be working fine as well. I just discovered this last night when I went to rsync some files manually between these machines. The last time I did that was at least a few days ago and it worked fine then. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

How did you "upgrade" your computer? In-place upgrading from C7 to C8 isn't something that you're supposed to do. The best solution is/was/would have been to backup your data, then reformat your system with the new OS and restore your data. Since kernel version 3.10 is a C7 kernel, at the least you're still running a C7 kernel on what might otherwise be (part of?) a C8 installation, and who knows what else behind the scenes. You've apparently got something going here that's neither fish nor fowl; it's isn't exactly C7 and it's not really C8 either. Since you don't really know what's broken here, you'll find yourself spending an awful lot of time chasing gremlins. At this point, my suggestion would be take the recommended action.

[CentOS] Cups - weird interaction with the Internet
I have Centos 6 machine that I use for a cups printer server. (Yes, I know, but it's working fine for what it's for at the moment.) My ISP lost its connection to the network that printer server is on. While the outside Internet service was unavailable I sent a print job to the printer on that server and nothing printed even though the print server and the machine I sent the job from are on the same lan and are actually connected to the same router. The job appeared to be sent from the originating machine (but timed out, as shown below), and running lpq and lpq -a on the server showed "no entries" (because it timed out for some reason). I did this a few times and even rebooted the server and always the same thing. Job sent, "no entries" on the server. The my ISP's connection came back and blammo! All of a sudden I got a ton of sheets printed, everything that I had been trying to print for the previous ten minutes. Here is what appears to be a relevant portion of the log on the machine that was sending the job to the print server: Mar 30 13:05:06 mutt cupsd[1443]: Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/implicit class (PID 951459) Mar 30 13:05:06 mutt cupsd[1443]: REQUEST localhost - root "POST /admin/ HTTP/1. 1" 200 245 CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer successful-ok Mar 30 13:05:07 mutt cupsd[1443]: Job completed. Mar 30 13:06:02 mutt cupsd[1443]: Job submission timed out. So what happened here? Why would cups care if it has a connection to the outside world when it's just printing a job sent to it from the local lan? The connection between the machine originating the print job and the print server timed out even though all of the relevant traffic was going over the lan. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

In your opinion. On average, this is not a high-traffic mailing list and I'd be really surprised if the traffic actually increased in any significant way since a question that might today be asked about Centos will be asked tomorrow about Rocky; either way, there's no net increase in the traffic, just a change in the subject line. > You want a generic > rhel clone list?

We'll see discussion of Rocky Linux and Oracle Linux ramping up on this mailing list over the course of the next year for the above reason. You can stamp your little feet and say that such things don't belong here, or the better option is to read what you're interested in and participate in the discussions. Ignoring anything non-Centos and reading only Centos-specific threads will likely be possible too if you really insist since a majority of posters will probably put "Oracle" or "Rocky" or something like that into their subject lines anyway.

That's a big assumption to make. I set up systems for businesses who want "a computer that does job x". They don't know, care, or want to know what it runs on as long as the thing logs the production or makes the press crank on cue.

I don't see how this would create any issues for Rocky Linux and the like. The new RHEL terms still require annual license activations (for every installation I think) and that's a point of friction that doesn't exist with Linux installations that are actually free. With this new offering I've got to count my installations, track which ones I've torn down, which ones I've updated, which ones I've scrapped, which ones I'm running in a VM and which ones that I've installed on an "appliance" in the dusty corner to running a printing press, and when I get to the sixteenth installation then I need to pay up or start decommissioning stuff Or I could use a license-not-required distribution like Rocky or Oracle and avoid all of that. I've got a number of machines with certain clients who bring their machine back to me every year or two (or whenever they figure they can spare it and happen to be heading this way) for updating. I might not see one of those machines for a few years; they may not have any Internet connection in the field so it could be interesting if the machines tell them (or me) to buzz off because the license has expired. If there were no other options then I guess there would have to be a way figured out to make this work anyway, but there are options and those options are certainly more attractive than dealing with license activations and all of the joy surrounding that sort of thing. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I installed it on a laptop a couple of days ago and what I got was exactly what I get when I install Centos on a laptop. Even my little script to convert a stock installation into my custom setup worked as-is, and what I ended up with was exactly what I was expecting to see. I don't have any particular love for Oracle, but since they pay X number of people to keep Oracle Linux current with RHEL and updated, they shouldn't have any problems with burn-out or a lack of long-term interest on the part of volunteers that may (or may not) become an issue over the course of time with a community-driven distribution like Rocky.

[CentOS] Oracle Linux - oracle-epel vs epel - dnf priority
I'd like to run this by you guys and get your opinion. For those of us who are considering moving to Oracle Linux (or at least doing some experimenting with it), I just had an idea for dealing with the fact that the oracle-el-epel apparently doesn't have all of the packages that are in the fedora-el-epel that we all know and love. It makes sense to me to use the oracle epel with OL to the greatest extent possible simply because it's part of OL. To get around the missing package issue, what about setting up both oracle-epel and fedora-epel, and then using the dnf priorities to pick the stuff from oracle-epel first and if it's not there then grab it from fedora-epel. One issue that I can see (though it may not be an actual issue) is the way the priorities setting works: QUOTE: priority integer The priority value of this repository, default is 99. If there is more than one candidate package for a particular operation, the one from a repo with the lowest priority value is picked, possibly despite being less convenient otherwise (e.g. by being a lower version). END OF QUOTE By setting fedora-epel to a lower priority, the if a package we want is only in fedora-epel, we'll grab it from there. But if that package has a dependency on another package version X that can be found in fedora-epel and for some reason oracle-epel supplies only package version X-1, what happens then? Is dnf smart enough to pick the higher-versioned (and required) package from fedora-epel even though it has a lower priority. I'll try to explain that again. I want to install Foo, which is only in fedora-epel. Foo requires Bar version 2.0. Bar 2.0 exists in fedora-epel, but oracle-epel has only Bar version 1.0. What happens then? Does dnf see that Foo requires Bar-2.0 and get it from fedora-epel even though it has a lower priority? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Oracle Linux 8 - short experiment with install and basic setup of Mate Desktop
So after reading other folks' opinions of an Oracle Linux 8 (thanks again, Nicolas!) trial installation, I decided to crank up a Virtual Box session and try an install myself. As others have stated, what you get when you install OL8 is identical in every way to what you see when installing Centos 8; literally the only difference is the logo and the default desktop background. There are no demands for registration or anything else when you install OL8. It's exactly the same experience as installing Centos 8. Since I use Mate on my computers (installed from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/stenstorp/MATE/ ) I immediately decided to see if I can get that going. I ran into two small issues, both easily dealt with. First, the PowerTools repo doesn't seem to exist under that name on OL8. It's called ol8_codeready_builder, for some reason. "dnf-config-manager --set-enabled ol8_codeready_builder" works fine and gets us where we need to be. A slightly more serious issue is that the oracle-epel, found through the rpm named oracle-epel-release-el8, appears to be less complete that the original Fedora epel found at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm. Mate requires ImageMagick as a dependency for caja-image-converter and if you have oracle-epel installed it can't find ImageMagick. The solution (at least the solution that I used, which worked) is just to delete the oracle-epel-release-el8 rpm and install epel-release-latest-8 rpm instead. Then the Mate desktop can be installed on OL8 from the copr rpms listed above. Ultimately, the take-away here seems to be that if you decide to use OL8 instead of Centos 8 you'll be better advised to stick with "real" epel and not the oracle epel since there appears to be at least some stuff missing on the oracle epel. After I jumped through those minor hoops, what I ended up with was an Oracle Linux 8 installation with a Mate desktop and literally everything looks and works identical to what I already have with Centos 8. (An issue that I haven't seen anyone address yet is this. It's my understanding that epel builds their stuff on the current RHEL. Therefore the upcoming Centos Stream might get out-of-sync with whatever epel is building on at any given point in time.) -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] dnf script to cherry pick updates and maintain RHEL compatibility
Here's an idea, though I don't know if it would be practical. I assume that at some point everything that goes into RHEL and its "official" updates travels through the Stream ecosystem beforehand. So what about the idea of maintaining (somewhere) a list of official updates to RHEL as they are released, and then have some kind of a dnf enhancement or script that reads that list and updates a local Centos installation using only the rpms on the list and ignoring everything else. Stuff that's released to Stream would be downloaded and installed at the point where it has been released for RHEL and not before. That would (I think) keep your Centos installation in sync with RHEL. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Is it necessary to create an Oracle account to do anything with Oracle Linux that can't be done without creating an account? In other words, does Oracle Linux demand that you log into Oracle to complete an installation, update that installation, install software from their epel-equivalent, or do any other of the regular sysadmin activities that one would expect to be doing?

[CentOS] Is Oracle a real alternative to Centos?
Is Oracle a real alternative to Centos? I'm asking because genuinely don't know; I've never paid any attention to Oracle's Linux offering before now. But today I've seen a couple of the folks here mention Oracle Linux and I see that Oracle even offers a script to convert Centos 7 to Oracle. Nothing about Centos 8 in that script, though. https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/ That page seems to say that Oracle Linux is everything that Centos was prior to today's announcement. But someone else here just said that the first thing Oracle Linux does is to sign you up for an Oracle account. So, for people who know a lot more about these things than I do, what's the downside of using Oracle Linux versus Centos? I assume that things like epel/rpmfusion/etc will work just as they do under Centos since it's supposed to be bit-for-bit compatible like Centos was. What does the "sign up with Oracle" stuff actually do, and can you cancel, avoid, or strip it out if you don't want it? Based on my extremely limited knowledge around Oracle Linux, it sounds like that might be a go-to solution for Centos refugees. But is it, really? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

My Centos 8 Virtualbox image directory contains the following files:

You don't appear to have any .vbox or .vdi files in your directory, so whatever
you have ain't Virtualbox.
It says vmware in your log filenames, so maybe you should be setting up vmware
instead of Virtualbox. (They are different things.)

[CentOS] Network Manager - rotate connection profile
I wasn't sure what to call this in the subject line, but here's my issue. I have an occasional need to switch a few computers from one Internet provider to a different one. Both Internet providers feed into the same network, one at 192.168.0.1 and the other at 192.168.0.254. So to change from one provider to the other I run nmtui to change the gateway and dns server addresses, then deactivate and reactivate the connection and I'm done. It's just takes a few minutes, but I'm wondering if there's a way to automate this a bit so instead of having to run nmtui and change all of those numbers, then deactivate and reactivate the connection, I could just have each configuration saved as a text file or something, and just tell network manager "use this configuration now until further notice." I could, of course, accomplish this using dhcp and change the dhcp server configurations as needed, but I'd prefer to have all of this stuff stored on each local machine like it is now. That way I could even automate it with a cronjob or something if I wanted to get that efficient. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again? This one has a virus.

Re: [CentOS] A Request to Add module to CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)

According to this webpage: https://mininet-wifi.github.io/sixlowpan/ "6LoWPAN is supported by Mininet-WiFi thanks to the fakelb and mac802154_hwsim module. Both modules have been developed to support 6lowpan, but mac802154_hwsim (which is supported from Linux Kernel version 4.18) is gradually replacing fakelb." Since Centos 8 is on Kernel 4.18, maybe it's already native there. Doesn't help the chap with Centos 7 though. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again? This one has a virus.

Removing unused dependencies is optional. dnf remove *subscription* --noautoremove should remove the dependent packages but keep thee unused dependencies if you want them. There's also a setting in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to set the default behaviour of the autoremove function. Having said that, I don't have any of those packages in your list on my system and it's working fine. So removing them (probably) won't break anything. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again?

And the message came up when you what? What action do you take immediately prior to this message appearing? The message appears on the desktop? Login screen? When you open a terminal window? I have cleaned up a lot of stuff on my C8 machines that I don't need, but on my main computer (this one) "rpm -qa | grep subscription" gives me no output, so you might want to "dnf remove *subscription* and see what happens. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again?

It sounds like you have something installed that doesn't need to be or shouldn't be installed. Under what circumstances does that message appear?

[CentOS] Centos 8: removing font rpms leaves directory and .uuid file behind
remove an unneeded font that was installed during the initial setup: dnf remove thai-scalable ls -a /usr/share/fonts/thai-scalable Not only did the directory survive the removal, but we still have a hidden file named .uuid in the directory (which is probably why it didn't get removed). The directory and .uuid file is an orphan though, since rpm --whatprovides tells me that no rpm owns it. Again, not surprising since we removed the rpm. This happens when removing any of the default fonts like smc, any of the sil-* fonts and so forth. They all leave their directory under /usr/share/fonts and a .uuid file behind. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again? This one has a virus.

How did you install it? I installed it with dnf using the VirtualBox rpm and didn't get any error messages. I just checked and I don't have any "elflibs" rpms on this computer, either. I do have elfutils-libelf, though, which may be something similar or may be entirely different. Again, though, VirtualBox works fine here. VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.12_139181_el8-1.x86_64 according to the output from the rpm -q command. So all of this makes me wonder if the problem is the way that you installed it or what you did to satisfy the mystery dependency(?) on elflibs, whatever that actually may be. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again?
