Re: Backup from CentOS 8 to Windows 11

I bricked my CentOS 7 installation by trying to go to 8. Long story short, I need to stick with 7. Now, I realize I'm going to have to re-install 7 but I am trying to maintain my files/directories because I am using this as web server, and I don't want to lose all of my web pages / data. I am tryin...

Re: CentOS 5.11 on-line repositories post-EOL - unsupported (caveat emptor)

If 5.11 is too die hard, then it should at least be isolated from the big bad internet. When one does that, one can also make a local copy of the vault contents (of interest). We do know that the files will not change any more (so copy once is enough) and local copy you share/can access by protocols...

Re: installing media player on centos 7

Yum reads from /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo definitions of repositories. Definition tells where (URL) the files of repository are and some other options. The yum-config-manager --disable okay changes "enabled" option to off; yum will not use disabled repo. The yum-config-manager --enable okay changes "en...

Re: installing media player on centos 7

What is this repo "okay" that clearly is not okay?

I would:

Code: Select all

yum-config-manager --disable okay
yum --enablerepo=* clean all
yum-config-manager --enable rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
yum install epel-release
yum install vlc
The RPM Fusion packages tend to require something from EPEL.

Re: Missing Security Advisories since August 2023

"Official"? One can look at RHEL 7's announcements. They are definitely official. The only question is, how quickly CentOS 7 releases package after RHEL 7 has done so. Overall, regular yum update has been the CentOS way. That gives you what is available when it is available. Everything that has been...

Re: Network Policy enabling in CentOS7 node causes issues.

Trevor did point out that WAS Linux 2 is not RHEL 7. If genuine RHEL 7 image does work but CentOS 7 image does not, then that RHEL 7 image has something that CentOS 7 image does not. Some applications do also read files like /etc/redhat-release and behave differently depending on the content. No ide...

Re: What to do when sudo make config doesn't create any files?

Admin guideline: Never build as root. The build should be done as regular, unprivileged account in location where that account can write to. One might have to install binaries into destination that only root can write to, but even that can/should be avoided. --- That said, how are we supposed to kno...

Good. Can you show the last entries of changelog of that package? With:

Code: Select all

rpm -q --changelog gnome-online-accounts | head -20

Re: Network Policy enabling in CentOS7 node causes issues.

If AWS Linux 2 IS-A RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 is bug-for-bug compatible with RHEL 7, then there should be no issue.

Re: Network Policy enabling in CentOS7 node causes issues.

Have installed Kernel version 5.10+. I have tried the same steps with Linux and Ubuntu os How did you install that non-standard kernel (EDIT: I see, kernel-ml from ELRepo) and are you actually running it? (I do agree with Trevor that you probably should not look at CentOS 7 any more since it dies b...
