Centos 7.9 transition blocked, how to solve??
by just4safe＠hotmail.com 07 Dec '22

Hi all, My home desktop machine runs Centos 7.9 Due to the Centos issues I want to migrate to Almalinux (8 or later). I updated Centos 7.9 I found a/the site with the Elevate/Leapp route, so I started there. After making steps as in the description (on that page), in Leapp I did the preupgrade check, and that returns some issues which seem to block the process: >>> start of last part of screen output: Complete! ==> Processing phase `TargetTransactionCheck` ====> * local_repos_inhibit Inhibits the upgrade if local repositories were found. ====> * dnf_transaction_check This actor tries to solve the RPM transaction to verify the all package dependencies can be successfully resolved. Applying transaction workaround - yum config fix Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:06 ago on Sat Dec 3 09:53:09 2022. Process Process-464: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 114, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/leapp/repository/actor_definition.py", line 72, in _do_run actor_instance.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/leapp/actors/__init__.py", line 290, in run self.process(*args) File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/actors/dnftransactioncheck/actor.py", line 44, in process xfs_info=xfs_info, storage_info=storage_info, plugin_info=plugin_info File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/libraries/dnfplugin.py", line 371, in perform_transaction_check context=context, stage='check', target_repoids=target_repoids, plugin_info=plugin_info, tasks=tasks File "/usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/libraries/dnfplugin.py", line 219, in _transaction e.stdout = e.stdout.encode('utf-8', 'xmlcharrefreplace') AttributeError: can't set attribute ====================================================================================================== Actor dnf_transaction_check unexpectedly terminated with exit code: 1 - Please check the above details ====================================================================================================== >>> end of screen output. I guess, something in python-2.7 is a problem; I guess, something in leapp-repositories is a problem. and maybe the AttributeError... Being a simple and old Centosuser, I do not know how to solve this. Can any member give the help to overcome this blocking? Note: my Centos 7.9 uses 'yum' and not 'dnf' as a manager.

AlmaLinux 9.1 and SELinux problem
by Alessandro Baggi 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

Hi, I'm running AlmaLinux 9.1 on VM to play with SELinux and trying to create a custom policy for an app. This app is written in Python and wait files to be processed (uploaded via sftp from another host). It read data from this file and then save them on postgresql DB. If something is wrong with the data, it will send an email. I followed this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/ht… Generating a custom policy, a permissive line is inserted in the policy: permissive example_t; that, if I'm not wrong, also if denials are found it runs the policy as permissive. Commenting this line and reload the policy my program does not work anymore and I receive this error: psycopg2.connect(127.0.0.1): could not receive data from server: Permission denied could not send SSL negotiation packet: Permission denied The strange thing is that if I run: # ausearch -m AVC -ts recent I don't receive new denied AVC. I tried also to read PostgreSQL side logs but nothing useful. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

I think you may have saved my day. You mean I can make full and complete backups of my web hosting control panel using the Virtualmin GUI web interface in CentOS 7.9 and restore the backups on the fresh new installation of AlmaLinux 9.1/Virtualmin server? That means I do not need to make a clone of my CentOS 7.9 linux server and run Elevate tool already. I can simply make a fresh new installation of both AlmaLinux 9.1 and Virtualmin on a brand new server. No migration needed and no headaches and complications. Thank you.

Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Subject: Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0? Good day from Singapore, I understand both CentOS Linux and AlmaLinux follow Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). I have 2 CentOS 7.9 Linux virtual private servers (VPS) in Europe. They are running Virtualmin/Webmin web hosting control panel in master and slave configuration. Unfortunately, the end of life (EOL) date for CentOS 7.9 is 30 June 2024, which is less than 2 years away. Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0? Is it technically impossible or will result in too many complications? Should I install AlmaLinux 9.0 from fresh and then install Virtualmin instead? If I choose this route, I will need to ask Virtualmin developers how I can migrate the web hosting control panel from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.0. Please advise. Thank you.
