I ran the command "rpm -qi centos-stream-release", which shows the Install Date: Thu Oct 7 11:18:34 2021 !! I still don't understand how this is possible, without explicitely moving to centos stream. But this is where I am now...TrevorH wrote: ↑2022/01/22 19:19:34You can find package history by using the 'yum history' command (see the man page, it has lots of subcommands and options) or by reading the various /var/log/dnf.rpm-log* files or even by using `rpm -qi centos-stream-release` which will show a build and install date/time.
You can see what is running by using the `ps fax` command. That shows you the processes as a tree so you can see what started what. On my CentOS 7 system that shows stuff running as a child of /usr/sbin/gdm and those would be the processes started when you logged in and will have a bunch of child processes themselves. I would imagine that if you killed those then gdm would pop back in and prompt for a login. Or you could `systemctl list-units` and find ones in there that sound like they have to do with the GUI and systemctl restart them one by one. Or perhaps `systemctl isolate multi-user.target` which will switch from what used to be called runlevel 5 (GUI with network) to runlevel 3, command line only logins. That should kill the entire GUI off then you can `systemctl isolate graphical.target` to fire it all back up again. Or just `shutdown -r now` from a root command line and reboot the entire box. If sshd is not running I'd suggest starting it up from webmin.
All "systemctl" commands do NOT work through webmin for me.
Unfortunately changing the runlevel from 5 to 3 and back to 5, via (an updated) Webmin, did not work. The system replies that it switched to runlevel "-", which probably means it didn't change anything.
My package list shows a mixture of centos baseos and stream packages. Is this normal, or should all centos-related packages be labelled "stream" when running stream?
The system report 400+ package updates from baseos and stream. Should I update them all and try a reboot?
