Re: Firefox ESL browser is still not updated in Centos repos- why?

Even Firefox ESR installations on MS-Windows are not yet updated to version 115 automatically: There are two more planned releases of Firefox 102 ESR, and then it will go out of support on September 26, 2023. Users will then be automatically upgraded to the Firefox 115 ESR. From one major version to...

Re: dual booting w windows 10 -now linux is missing

Or if that doesn't work, try to swap the sata-cables on the motherboard (or disks). Don't know how this will affect your windows boot. I guess it will so I would not try it. Your BIOS is showing two hard drives (from the same vendor and the same model), so it should be possible to boot from the 2nd...

Re: dual booting w windows 10 -now linux is missing

4) I'm seeing that the system right now doesn't at least seem to notice the separate Linux disk! I wasn't aware of a 2nd hard disk. In this case I agree with TrevorH, it seems all you need to do is telling your BIOS to boot from the other hard drive. If you are not sure if the 2nd hard disk is even...

Re: dual booting w windows 10 -now linux is missing

Also, btw, I think this machine is old enough it's likely not UEFI, but strictly BIOS After booting MS-Windows, hit Windows + R key and start "msinfo32". This application shows you the "BIOS Mode", either "Legacy" or "UEFI". I suspect it will show "UEFI" and CentOS seems to be gone because the boot...

It needs an OS re-install (all usernames and passwords expired/unrecognized)
If you have physical access to the server, you could reset the root password (and all other passwords afterwards):

Re: BASH File Expansion

An alternative would be using an bash array:

Code: Select all

s=( "/tmp/*" "tmp/dir/*" )
for f in "${s[@]}";do echo "$f";done

Re: CentOS 7 to CentOS8 Repo Help

Since you does not seem to believe TrevorH: I want to second TrevorH, that all these tutorials you have linked to are wrong, they will certainly break, and there is no official upgrade path. There is, however, one "real" upgrade solution worth a try, and has IMHO the best chances to succeed: https:/...

Re: Windows not Shown in Boot loader on Centos8 and Windows 10 Dual Boot

CentOS has to be installed in the same BIOS mode (either "Legacy" or "UEFI") as MS-Windows, otherwise the boot manager of CentOS cannot boot MS-Windows. This is neither CentOS nor MS-Windows fault, the BIOS simply cannot change the mode once a mode selection was made (by the BIOS/UEFI) during boot p...

Re: dnf install foo<TAB> does not work

To compare, there's hardly a delay when I do the same with apt in Debian. I guess that dnf does update its meta data first which is IMHO a design flaw. If they offer bash tab completion, they should do it without updating the cache. (dnf offers the option --cacheonly to do so, therefore I assume th...

Re: can't boot into windows 10 after installing CentOS 8

Yes I see the partition when I run the fdisk commend, windows and all my files are still intact but how to get it to boot is the problem now. You need to boot your computer in UEFI mode, this way MS-Windows should start. How this is done is dependent on the computer you use, take a look at the user...
