I was wondering a bit about the appstream repo. The appstream repo for CentOS Stream 9 seems to have super up-to-date versions of S/W. At first glance, Fedora-like recent. Is it fair to think of this as the following: Fedora-like recent softwares for non-baseOS, on top of a stable baseOS supported for a long time? If so I might switch some of my Fedora machines. And if that’s the case, why isn’t this more advertised? Or was I living under a rock all this time?! I always thought of CentOS (and now CentOS Stream) as a stable, long supported OS that would purposely not be switching to the latest ..read more

Hey all. So I'm trying to mount a folder on one of my centos 9 machines to a Mac and it's just not jiving. I think the issue is on the Mac side, but I'll ask the more helpful people first before I hit up a pretentious Apple forum. So here's what I have on the CentOS side: I enabled firewall service for mountd nfs nfs3 rpc-bind I created a folder at /mnt/ml_models I set user and group to rpc I added an entry in /etc/exports to allow the Mac IP address rw access If I run exportfs -v it shows the entry correctly Edited /etc/imapd.conf to set my domain name On the Mac side: I created a folder und ..read more

There was some VM management interface that would only require valid ssh keys of the remote machines. The management UI would run on your local host. Does anyone remember the name? submitted by /u/DarqOnReddit [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am studying linux (Centos VM) and am creating a soft/hard link for a file and putting it into a directory. Not sure if this is wrong or not. After creating the link and putting it in the new directory it is showing up with red blinking text on the "test1.1" file. If I "vi test1.1" it shows at the bottom it says ("test1.1" [Permission Denied]) Is this because the directory "test1.2" is under the home/aarynpm directory as well as the file "test1.1"? Just not entirely sure what is going on with this. The Udemy video I am watching is saying that "you cannot create a soft or hard link within the ..read more

I am studying linux and have a virtual machine running. While practicing with wildcards, mainly "touch" command and "rm" command, I deleted a file that had data in it. (I was doing a "rm *123" and deleted a test file.) I did read that linux has a way to undelete items. I am guessing that since this is a VM I do not have the package installed to use the undelete command. I tried running the undelete command and nothing happened. However, just curious if there is a way to undelete an item or restore an item in Centos without the use of this package. submitted by /u/Honest_Tough5491 [visit redd ..read more

Hi everybody, How can I auto login with the user "user" after every boot on the CentOS 9 that I've just installed ? I haven't any X installed.

I am trying to install dnsmasq on CentosStream 9. What happens is after the installation the service won't start with the system saying the port is in use and binds only to 127.0.0.1. If I remove dnsmasq from NetworkManager then it says it cannot attach to 127.0.0.1 and the service still fails to start. But if I start it manually after the startup it runs. First I thought it was an issue with SELinux although I've added all ports and policies. But even after disabling SELinux the same thing happens. Is there anyone having a similar issue? ​ submitted by /u/Humble-Ad-895 [visit reddit] [comme ..read more
