Out of all the bigger companies to try to acquire them, IBM is probably the least terrible option for Red Hat. They aren’t a nice company (an understatement, I know), but they will probably change things the least of the others.

This. They've been playing footsy under the table for years anyway. I wonder if it was Microsoft's moves into the Linux Foundation and Github that made them take the plunge?

Considering a lot of the github acq, new development is electron based and things like sql server /.net core run on Linux and adoption of containers I think their heads exploded long ago.

With azure and the need for aks to improve I would of figured they would of been a real fit.

Red hats made a fair bit of progress getting the OS running on ibms power le hardware with 7.x makes sense if IBM wants to phase out aix

loving hell is all I can say. Red Hat and derivatives are most of my Linux 'experience', whether that goes for adminning RHEL and CentOS boxes at work, running CentOS as my go-to server environment at home and being a keen advocate of Fedora over Ubuntu as my desktop Linux of choice. IMHO Fedora is a much better daily desktop than Ubuntu with only a slightly higher learning curve for noobs.

loving hell.

My immediate thought was "well I suppose they can fork", but the Red Hat stream of OS'es is too big a project to fork, isn't it? Is it?

Not impressed. I'm sure my oppo at work won't be impressed when I tell him the news tomorrow. :-(

There's nothing to fork, at least not near term. Both centos and scientific linux (not really sure if there's any other live+free rhel clones are out there atm) have shown that as long as the srpms continue to get published a rhel based system is not hard to produce.

(yes, centos is owned by redhat now, but it ran for a long time on its own)

My feeling is IBM influence won't be felt for a couple years.

I think this is just to gain control of RH patents. IBM can then sue Oracle and smaller cloud businesses. I hope it will not change RH day to day very much, but who knows. It’s not good for anyone but IBM and Whitehurst's bank account.

Yeah, Microsoft would be so much better, the company that laid off their entire QA department and was surprised when a released upgrade deleted people’s documents from their home folders, despite said problem having been reported during the beta.

Also, I wouldn’t worry too much. SUSE is on its fourth takeover now, and it’s still pretty good.

I like how the world has changed to the point where we've gone from slashdot style zero irony "M$ GONNA DESTROY LINUX" to preferring them owning a linux distribution than IBM, the company we were all cheering for when SCO was still a thing.

They did another one after Moat for $1200M, not sure what it was besides a SaaS platform.

I know Bryan Lunduke is a bit of a nutcase but I don't think he's crazy to see Microsoft's recent moves as being a bit more subtle than just buying up open source corps. IBM still have to make those billions turn a profit, Microsoft may just be content to get the Linux Foundation on the hook and head off developments that they deem anti-competitive. It might be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying Canonical.

Trying to do a CentOS install via kickstart on some wonky machines with NVIDIA cards; the text installer (it's all automated) seems to be dying at some point in the install on these machines but I can't tell because the screen is garbled. First time I've seen something like this in text mode.

Is there some kernel boot argument I can pass to switch the console mode being used? I didn't see much that would be immediately useful in here aside from the usual 'remove quiet and rhgb' which aren't really applicable when you can't see the text to begin with.

Alternatively is there some way to use the graphical installer and still read everything from a kickstart file? I have a bunch of pre/post-install scripts that need to run as well, but so long as those execute I have no problem clicking 'next' a few times or whatever.

anaconda defaults to graphical install, even when using a kickstart file. Edit the ks.cfg to get rid of skipx and text options and I'd think that will do it.

Sheep
Jul 24, 2003
That's just the problem, the text installer has graphical corruption. The only options in use are inst.ks and rd.skipverifyssl or whatever it is to skip the SSL certificate validation.

Only occurs on these specific machines. Any others and the whole process is zero touch, boot and it's done two minutes later.

I did one machine manually with a graphical install and that worked fine so... for whatever reason textmode anaconda is busted?

This is the command I use when installing CLI-based Anaconda installs on my headless box:

code:
# virt-install --network bridge:br0 --name=WHATEVS --memory=2048 --vcpus=2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/WHATEVS.qcow2 --graphics none --location=/var/lib/libvirt/images/iso/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1804.iso --extra-args="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200"
The helpful part may be the console settings/and or "graphics none"

nomodeset is indeed just a black screen.

Guess I'll just be doing the install by hand using the default media, ugh.

Edit: 2x Quadro GP100. Turns out console just doesn't work at all through a clean minimal install. X or bust.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this (hopefully it is) but I am trying to write a sed one liner to find a string which is wrapped in curly braces, and then once its found that string, expand the selection to the leading and trailing curly braces, and then delete everything.

An example of the file I'm working with looks like this:

code:
{
  package => 'package',
  version => '1.0.0',
  commands => [
    ['jslib', '.'],
    ['thing1','thing2'],
    ['other','thing']
  ]
},
{
  package => 'winston',
  version => '1.2.3',
  commands => [
    ['jslib', '.']
  ]
},
{
  package => 'other-thing',
  version => '4.2.0',
  commands => [
    ['thing', '.'],
    ['thing', '.'],
    ['thing', '.']
  ]
},
{
  package => 'wrench',
  version => '1.0.0',
  commands => [
    ['jslib', '.'],
    ['thing','bin']
  ]
},
And what I'm trying to do is to find 'winston' (or any of the other ones) and then delete its top and bottom braces (plus the trailing comma), so this:

code:
{
  package => 'winston',
  version => '1.2.3',
  commands => [
    ['jslib', '.']
  ]
},
I thought sed would be the easiest way to do this but I am not having very much luck. I was hoping that something like something like this would work:
code:
sed -i -r "/\{\n\s\spackage\s\=\>\s\'winston\'\,(.|\n)+?\}\,/d" ~/test.txt
No errors with this, but no changes to the file either.

Can anyone help me write a sed command that makes sense for this or guide me in a better direction? I'm also using double quotes in the line above because I will eventually want to pass a variable to the command.

I've checked with a couple PCRE regex validators online and my regex seems correct, so I thought that sed -r would be sufficient to parse it, but it seems like I might be miles off trying to just use sed, even running
code:
cat ~/test.txt | sed -r "/\s\spackage\s\=\>\s\'winston\'/d"
won't remove the single line containing package => 'winston',
