@IRJ said in One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown):

I also think you may be looking at the wrong file.

In Ubuntu it is located here

/etc/apt/sources.list

You can also add sources by file here

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

He's using Centos, and location was correct. Both distros store config files in slightly different locations.

I've done both. I tend to like MariaDB / MySQL better because that is what I'm more comfy with.

Another thing to note. I believe it's the rabbitmq password that can't accept an @ in the password.

@atahaynah said in Cockpit:

@DustinB3403 it was stopped

But fortunately i got it resolved i had to downgrade one packege and after that restarted the service and it worked

What did you downgrade to fix the issue?

@scottalanmiller Yeah I check daily for updates to make sure my things are up to par and was surprised when I saw such a huge list of updates waiting.

@dustinb3403 ok got it, weird one

@JaredBusch That's nuts!

@DustinB3403 said in Testing oVirt...:

Also I feel like the most popular instructions were a blog post, rather than official documentation.

I'm not even sure they have a dedicated techwriter. This is why it is better to just follow the official RHV docs. You'll have to filter out the Red Hat specific details, like subscription-manager, but you'll definitely have a better experience

Go figure...CentOS-7 UEFI vm on Windows Server 2019 "Preview" w Hyper-V installs no problem!!!

@danp said in Newb question - Running a script from the root directory:

Is the directory in your path? What do you get from echo $PATH?

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/root/opt/scripts/:/root/opt/scripts

I've added it (twice).

Well first off you had /root/opt/scripts not /opt/scripts. Second you either have to log out and back in or tell your user to use the new path with something like

source ~/.bash_profile

I used ````~/opt/scripts``` initially, as I wasn't aware of just adding my scripts into one of the existing locations. (everything said just add a new directory).

By simply moving the script into an already existing path, I am able to update with just "script.sh".

When you are root and your home is /root and you put ~/opt/scripts that is /root/opt/scripts.

Remember that ~ is a shortcut to your home directory, which is /root

So by adding ```/opt/scripts/```` this would've worked, but would've added complexity for no reason.

No that still isn’t a default location. In the OP you said you put the script in /opt/scripts. Where did you actually put it?

Originally I created the directory /opt/scripts and put the script in there so the Directory looks like

/opt/scripts/script.sh

I went back and change the script location to be in /usr/local/bin

So in /usr/local/bin I now have script.sh

This now works without issue, and /opt/scripts no longer exists.

Ok ya that’s where the problem was. /opt/scripts is different than /root/opt/scripts. If you would have had that in your .bashrc or .bash_profile (or whichever shellconfigure you’re using) it would have worked. But you still have to let the user know of the PATH change.

I'm the user in this case, but I never really create / save my own scripts. I just got tired of running a set of commands, every other day.

Thus the need to figure out how I could run the script, without having to jump into the exact directory from which the script was saved.

I mean you have to let the user you are logged in as Know if the change. Either by logging out and back in or by temporarily sourcing the config.

I've logged out, what do you mean "sourcing the config" ?

If you change your PATH while you’re logged on the user account doesn’t know of that change. You have to either log out and log in again or temporarily do something like

source ~/.bashrc

Or the non-aliased version...

. ~/.bashrc

@bnrstnr said in Centos 7 Minimal Install:

Is there ever a reason to go with one of the other security policies for centOS?

Depends where you work, usually this is set for government standards for example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Information_Processing_Standards

So theoretically if you work for the Government agency they will require you to choose certain protocols, and those profiles will make your life easier.

Start with old Desktop with Virtualization extension, something that you can install OS and dont have to remove cause of free space or you need it for something else.

Cause learning Linux or Centos or anything else needs environment, and virtualbox can work but it wont allow you play with KVM, and thats for me the big part of the fun.

Also you need to keep learning that means its is process some day you will leave it 4-5 days dormat cause your stuck in an issue the other day bulb lights up mainly due to reading this site and you get back on it.

@DustinB3403 said in CentOS rsync between servers using keyfile to pass credentials:

Nevermind, seems to work when I don't bother telling the system to use the authorized key.

That IS kinda the idea. ssh just handles that for you, even when called from another program like rsync.

@Romo said in Lookin for best method to create a network bridge CentOS 7:

@stacksofplates Another quick question, it is better to create the bridge from the os network utils instead of relying in virtmanager to create it right?

That all depends. Macvtap is quick and dirty. Also has the benefits of not allowing network access between the host and VMs (can be a benefit or a hindrance depending on your scenario). If you want Full access across the bridge, then you'll have to manually create it.

Nice deal!
