Rocky OS on Server
by Sanjeev Ramadoss 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Hi Rocky Team Writing to you as I have a generic query on installing Rocky OS. We would like to install Rocky 9.4 OS on an "Intel(r) Xeon(r) Gold 5220R CPU @ 2.20 GHz based Cascade Lake - R" Server, as Bare Metal. FYI This physical server is remote, and Intel based 'Integrated BMC Web Console access' is enabled. Can you please help by clarifying below queries as I am first time trying to install Rocky OS and that too remote. 1. What is the preferred method of installation? * Install through uploading 'Boot-ISO' using the option "BMC web UI -> Virtual Media over HTML5"? * Web ISO using NFS Would be very helpful to receive any Standard installation procedure of 9.4 OS on Bare Matel Server. Thanks in advance! regards, Sanjeev R

Indeed I can see how this can be an issue for embedded systems and such, but keep these points in mind: * You don't actually *have* to restart the system to the newer kernel, you can keep running it under the old kernel just fine, even after updating to a new point release. * This can happen even within a point release, really any time there is a kernel update for whatever reason. * You can use kpatch to install critical patches to the live running kernel without rebooting the system. Unfortunately Rocky Linux does not (unless I'm mistaken) provide the kernel-patch rpms for doing so. You can potentially generate your own patches for kpatch or you can get a RHEL subscription and use their patches. * The kernel is not the only package where you should want to restart the system. If there's critical updates to glibc you should restart as well, and potentially certain other packages. * You can get support for staying on a point release past the eol from certain 3rd-parties. * A simple dnf update followed by a reboot is all that is needed to update to a new point release, or to get the latest updates to the current point release. In your situation you may want to consider pinning the kernel and just running updates monthly but not rebooting. In cases where there are critical kernel or glibc vulnerabilities *then* you can update the kernel explicitly and do a reboot. Also, as mentioned above, kpatch was made for your situation. Peter

Evolution broken in update to 8.9
by Ian Jon 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Hi All, Pressing the delete key in evolution moves the cursor back one space and then deletes the character behind it. ie if you type in abcdef and leave your cursor to the right of the the f character and you press delete 3 times you end up with the string bdf The delete key also deletes the character one to the right of the cursor. ie if you type the string abcdef and place your cursor to the right of the string you end up with the string ace This has only happened after updating to 8.9 I updated another computer with a different user profile and now they are experiencing the same problem. 3.28.5 (3.28.5-22.el8)

ldapmodify can't contact LDAP server inside an podman container
by Meikel 23 Jun '23

23 Jun '23

Hi folks, inside Podman I run Rocky Linux 8 podman run -dt --name rl8 docker.io/rockylinux/rockylinux:8 podman exec -it rl8 bash This is not for production, I use it as an interactive shell for playing around with OpenLDAP server for leraning purposes. After I finished my leraning I' ll get rid of the container and the image. Because inside the container I do not have any infrastructure like "systemd" I start OpenLDAP server simply with slapd and it seems to be running as I can see with ps aux | grep slapd root 547 0.0 2.2 482424 371196 ? Ssl 11:28 0:00 slapd root 553 0.0 0.0 16404 2176 pts/1 S+ 12:07 0:00 grep --color=auto slapd Now from inside the same container I want to run ldapmodify against that OpenLDAP server but I get an error: ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -d 5 -f grund.ldif ldap_url_parse_ext(ldapi:///) ldap_create ldap_url_parse_ext(ldapi:///??base) ldap_sasl_interactive_bind: user selected: EXTERNAL ldap_int_sasl_bind: EXTERNAL ldap_new_connection 1 1 0 ldap_int_open_connection ldap_connect_to_path ldap_new_socket: 4 ldap_connect_to_path: Trying /var/run/ldapi ldap_connect_timeout: fd: 4 tm: -1 async: 0 ldap_ndelay_on: 4 ldap_close_socket: 4 ldap_msgfree ldap_err2string ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) In the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file I did NOT specify the BASE and URI configurations, not sure if this might cause a problem.

mock fails on lxc container with error read-only filesystem (selinux-related)
by Сергей Спиридонов 11 May '23

11 May '23

Hi I am running rocky linux in privileged lxc container on Debian 11 host. If I try to build any rpm I am getting an error from mock ERROR: Could not create dir /var/lib/mock/rocky+epel-9-x86_64-bootstrap/root/sys/fs/selinux. Error: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/var/lib/mock/rocky+epel-9-x86_64-bootstrap/root/sys/fs/selinux' I guess the reason is that selinux is disabled on Debian. Is there a way to tell mock to work with selinux disabled? I am afraid proper set up of selinux on Debian host would be not simple. -- Best regards, Sergey Spiridonov

Virt-install'ing Rocky with location url & kickstart not working
by Jos Vos 01 May '23

01 May '23

Hi, With CentOS I’m used to install VM’s using kickstart without local media (e.g. a boot iso) with a command like: virt-install ... -location "http://..../9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/" \ --initrd-inject ks.cfg --extra-args="inst.ks=file:///ks.cfg" When I try a similar command with Rocky Linux (I tried both .../os/ and .../kickstart/ in the URL paths) it loads vmlinuz and initrd.img, but it fails later: for version 8 and 9 different things happen (timeouts in 8 and endless loops in 9). Is there a way to achieve a virt-install with kickstart (and without downloading and mounting stuff)?

How to configure equal cost multi-path routing with NetworkManager?
by Uwe Sauter 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Hi folks, With CentOS 7/Rocky 8 and "network-scripts" I was able to configure static routes using "equal cost multi-path" (ECMP) routing. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 would contain a line like 172.16.0.0/16 nexthop via 192.168.1.250 nexthop via 192.168.1.251 which would then look like: # ip r default via 192.168.1.254 dev eth0 172.16.0.0/16 nexthop via 192.168.1.250 dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 192.168.1.251 dev eth0 weight 1 It seems that the NetworkManager keyfile format is not able to handle that situation. How can I configure static ECMP routes with Rocky 8/9 and NetworkManager? Thanks, Uwe

Issues installing the minimum version of RL 9.1
by H 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

I am new to RL and decided to convert a CentOS 7 system to RL 9.1. This also entailed repartitioning the system since I wanted a combination of LUKS, LVM and RAID1. I ran into two issues with Anaconda, the same installation software RHEL uses, suggesting a lack of robustness. First, the partition scheme with LUKS, LVM and RAID1 took a lot of tinkering to get right. If there was something wrong the script aborted and I had to start over again booting the installation DVD. Second, a couple of times the script got stuck on 'configuring storage' and then aborted. Back to booting the installation DVD. In the end I finished the installation but I was amazed that the script is not more robust after being widely used for multiple versions of the RHEL software. How widely are these problems encountered?

[Rocky8.7] Question about pv_mmu_ops kernel header field
by 박영준 26 Mar '23

I debug the rocky 8.7 kernel. (4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64 and 4.18.0-425.13.1.el8.x86_64) for our company module issue. And I have a question . why pv_mmu_ops notify_page_enc_status_changed field is moved to reserved1 field on (4.18.0-425.13.1.el8.x86_64)?

EFI boot order rewrite
by Florian Bauer 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

Hello, we are running Rocky Linux on some of our dedicated consumer hardware servers. On the newer servers that boot with efi, the system that is installed with the default properties in the installer writes itself writes itself to the top of the efi boot order each time booting. Since we run all our systems with efi network boot as the first boot option, this would be a problem for the future. Is there any way to prevent this behavior? I have already checked the use of efibootmgr and some of the related grub settings like GRUB_DEFAULT and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT (which may be unrelated). On Debian, I found an option in debconf that favors nvram writes which prevents this behavior. Does anyone have any ideas about this case? With kind regards Florian

netbooting rocky linux : unable to nfs mount the root file system

I have posted this question here as well: https://serverfault.com/questions/1122071/netbooting-centos-via-pxe-and-uef…. Essentially, the kernel is able to bootup but fails to mount the nfs root device. I am wondering if rocky linux kernel is able to mount nfs shares? If not, what is the workaround? Would recompile of the kernel with nfs support work? Below, is the grub entry for reference ``` set default="0" set timeout=5 set root=(tftp,192.168.0.185) set prefix=($root)/grub2 menuentry "OS (UEFI PXE)" { linux /vmlinuz-5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.aarch64 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.0.185:/nfs/rpi4_dfd9 rw ip=dhcp rootwait elevator=deadline initrd /initramfs-5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.aarch64.img } ``` Thanks -S

Rocky Linux 9, sshd, chrooted users with public key authentication, VS Code integration for web development
by David Mehler 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hello, I've got a vps running Rocky Linux 9. It's got an Nginx web server with several sites that I'd like to allow users to manage. They use VS Code. Currently and this is not working entirely to my satisfaction I've got these users set up as sftp-only, while they do have accounts n the system they are all set with a nologin shell. In sshd_config the internal sftp server is used. If I atempt login from a second system using one of these user's username/password combos that works, and I can see there writable webstore area nd only that area, so the chroot is somewhat working. I am more uncertain about permissions and owner/group access for nginx and sshd, I don't want to give these users' files to much permissions. I would like to turn off PasswordAuthentication entirely and only use PublickeyAuthentication. On the second system I've generated keypairs for a user and put them on the server in home directory .ssh and manually set permissions. These keys do not have a passphrase so my expected outcome is to atempt an sftp login and the connection goes right in without password. This doesn't happen, I keep getting a message that PublickeyAuthentication not allowed, even though that option is set in sshd_config and again in each user-specific block. Lastly, once I get PublickeyAuthentication going and have disabled PasswordAuthentication I'm going to want to hook VS Code in to this. Currently I've got the remote ssh extension installed, but from what I'm reading this only does ssh not sftp. Does anyone have something similar to this setup going? If so any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

gnome-term and xterm problem on 9.1 with VNC
by Lana Deere 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

I have a machine running Rocky 9.1. I have configured VNC as a service as described in the documentation. I connect to the VNC server using a VNC viewer from CentOS7.9. I open a number of gnome terminals to use for software development. When I do certain things, the terminals get messed up and fail to display the text correctly. Particularly using left-arrow to edit a previous command in bash seems to trigger this, but that may not be the only way to hit it. An example of how the text is messed up is that the first time I hit left-arrow nothing appears to happen. Subsequently the cursor position moves one to the left with each left-arrow. But if I type a character and hit enter, it is inserted one character to the left of where the cursor indicated. Once the window is in this state, other things work incorrectly too. For example, running "ls" will print the file listing but the window will not finish scrolling to the last line and the following prompt will not display. Hitting an extra "enter" will cause the window to finish scolling and the missing prompt to display along with the extra prompt from the "enter". Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have any suggestions on how to diagnose or fix this? I described the above with respect to gnome-terminal but xterm if anything is worse. .. Lana (lana.deere(a)gmail.com)
