CentOS Stream 8/9

Linux_Kidd · 04-13-2022, 11:39 AM

In terms of security, anyone have any pitfall notes for CentOS Stream 8 or 9 ?

And what's up with powertools, can't seem to get that repo enabled, looking to install a KDE.

# dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Originally it could be --set-enabled PowerTools
... so please try with both {powertools and PowerTools}.

dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools

That's where something is not right. No repo for powertools or PowerTools, this was the err message for past 3 days.

Today, boot the OS, do a dnf and it does not err. Weird, I made no changes.

But now a new err

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# dnf group list
CentOS Stream 9 - PowerTools                    7.2  B/s |  38  B     00:05    
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'powertools': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist

repo file

Code:

[powertools]
	
name=CentOS Stream $releasever - PowerTools
	
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$stream&arch=$basearch&repo=Pow
erTools&infra=$infra
	
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$stream/PowerTools/$basearch/os/
	
gpgcheck=1
	
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial

repolist

Code:

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# dnf repolist
repo id                                    repo name
appstream                                  CentOS Stream 9 - AppStream
baseos                                     CentOS Stream 9 - BaseOS

epel-next                                  Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 - Next - x86_64
extras-common                              CentOS Stream 9 - Extras packages
powertools                                 CentOS Stream 9 - PowerTools

Same err if I change repo file from PowerTools to powertools
