WHY??? JESUS!!!

See weldr/lorax#614

Current workaround is to downgrade to 29.16-1.fc29.

What are your plans for Pengwin Enterprise now that Scientific linux is discontinued (https://itsfoss.com/scientific-linux-discontinued/)?

I install oracle database 19c on pengwin-enterprise oracle linux , It report missing /boot/grub/grub.conf , how to resolve it

Your Microsoft order #5304838546 has been processed

how do I download it?

Retype new password:

[root@t470s ~]#

The solution seems to be running pwconv.

I have tried running pwconv with --root on BUILDIR and pwconv on BUILDIR in a chroot as part of the build at https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/WLE/blob/master/create-targz.sh#L51 but this issue persists.

Unless we can find another workaround I think we will need to insert pwconv as part of the initial user setup process at https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/WLE/blob/master/DistroLauncher/DistributionInfo.cpp#L35.

I did find an issue with the 'screen' the utility that I'm pretty sure happens across all WSL distros, as it's down to a socket-cleaning service that normally runs on shutdown needing to be manually run. Closing the console window each time doesn't seem to count as a shutdown? But based on the nature of the issue, I wouldn't be surprised if it's something we might run into with other programs and something we could look into workarounds for in our distribution.

But, I don't run into it on WLE... Instead, the first run of screen upon every open of a console window gives a "Cannot make directory '/run/var/screen': Permission denied". However after running screen once with admin permissions, this issue is resolved until next open of a console window.

This different issue on WLE might be down to a permissions based issue similar to #8, or it may be another issue with screen itself, but thought it better to mention than not. If it is a permissions issue, clearing it up may then reveal the original issue noted.

Installing, this may take a few minutes...

Describe the bug
/etc/shadow is world-readable

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Pengwin Enterprise 8 (e.g. from Microsoft Store, as I did)
2. Start Penwing Enterprise, and follow the create a new user process that is kickstarted
3. This involves setting a root password, a new username, and a password for the user
4. Check the permissions on /etc/shadow (ls -lh /etc/shadow)
5. Observe it is world readable:

[ian@pengwin8 ~]$ ls -lh /etc/shadow*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 706 Oct 19 11:24 /etc/shadow
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 576 Oct 19 11:24 /etc/shadow-

Expected behavior
/etc/shadow should probably have tighter restrictions, no? It does usually in most (all?) Linux installations.

Additional context
Clearly the security implications are probably less severe in the WSL context, but best practice should still be adhered to.

I am on the latest version/build of Windows 10 Pro

In Pengwin issue #402, @crramirez kindly provided the ConEmu task config for Pengwin.

Please can the same be provided for Pengwin Enterprise.

It seems like all man pages are missing. I installed man-db man-pages (and man-pages-overrides) but there were no man pages for anything ( such as "man ls") except for some of my own software which I had in my $MANPATH. That worked fine.

I tracked down the root cause. /etc/yum.conf has the following setting:
tsflags=nodocs

That prevents the installation of man pages. I commented out the line, and removed and re-installed man-db, man-pages and man-pages-overrides. I have most of the man pages I expect. (Sadly, I had installed quite a number of packages before that, so I'm going to have to go back and uninstall/reinstall to get those man pages.)

My guess is that you're going to want man pages installed from the start.

wsl2 can be used at the same time with Vmware workstation ?

I just created a first install.tar.gz with the script create-targz.sh and I noticed that sudo (for example) was not installed.

As the script is "consumed" as is from CentOS, I think that a sort of post-install script (such as the one from WLinux) could be a very good added value.

encounter error during oracle 18c xe installation
/opt/oracle/product/18c/dbhomeXE/oui/bin/runInstaller.sh: line 3: 3517 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./runInstaller $* /opt/oracle/product/18c/dbhomeXE/oui/bin/runInstaller.sh: line 3: 3522 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./runInstaller $* [SEVERE] An error occurred while registering the Oracle home. Verify logs in /var/log/oracle-database-xe-18c/results/oraInstall.log and /opt/oracle/oraInventory for more details and try again.

Note

These WSL error messages occur from time to time and can tricky to troubleshoot short of reinstalling WSL.

They are usually not an issue with WLinux itself but a glitch with the underlying Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10.

You can help us help you and Microsoft improve WSL and address these if you can provide us some debugging information.

[ ] I have read the above statement.

Basic Troubleshooting

Please check:

[ ] I have confirmed WSL is enabled: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/troubleshooting#confirm-wsl-is-enabled.
[ ] I have searched Google for the error message.
[ ] I have searched the official Microsoft WSL issues page: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues.
[ ] I have searched the WLinux issues page: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/WLinux/issues.
[ ] I have reset WLinux: Settings->Apps->Apps & features->WLinux->Advanced Options->Reset.
[ ] I have disabled and re-enabled WSL in Windows Features.
[ ] I have run Windows 10 updates and restarted.

What other troubleshooting have you attempted to date?

I'm testing Oracle Linux.

It updates to Oracle Linux 7. Is it possible to change to Oracle Linux 6?

Reason: Weblogic 10.3 and Oracle Forms 11g only works in this version.

Thanks.

Update: This is a confirmed bug in WSL, not Berkeley DB.

Reproducible on RHEL, CentOS, Oracle, and Scientific Linux.

To reproduce:

1. Install WLinux Enterprise. A signed build you can sideload on Windows 10 for testing is available here for debugging this bug, see here to see custom DB_CONFIG set on that image.

2. Set root password and create new default user.

3. su - into root.

4. Example 1: Type the following commands:

[root@t470s ~]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.11.3-35.el7.x86_64
[root@t470s ~]# rpm --rebuilddb
[root@t470s ~]# rpm -q rpm
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@t470s ~]#

5. Example 2: Type the following commands:

[hayden@t470s ~]$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db*
[hayden@t470s ~]$ db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages
BDB5105 Verification of /var/lib/rpm/Packages succeeded.
[hayden@t470s ~]$ sudo rpm --rebuilddb
[hayden@t470s ~]$ sudo yum update
Loaded plugins: ovl
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[hayden@t470s ~]$

Expected result:

rpm --rebuilddb would rebuild a working rpmdb.

Actual result:

Running rpm --rebuilddb breaks rpm and yum. Modifications to BD_CONFIG improve things somewhat and there is a partial fix after the fact.

Theories:

• rpm database is corrupted in some way, left over from our build. Unlikely because copying rpmdb from our build to a bare metal install works fine
• rpm database rebuild fails, perhaps because rpm uses berkeleydb, and mmap is misbehaving. We have doubts that is problem because straces do not show typical evidence of that mmap misbehavior. microsoft/WSL#902 microsoft/WSL#2871 microsoft/WSL#2852
• rpm database is read into memory incorrectly by libdb, suggested by fact setting defined memory parameters appears to mitigate some of this bug.

What works:

• This workaround, useful for recovering rpmdb after rpm --rebuild.
• OpenSUSE's implementation of rpm, but for very different reasons
• Setting some DB_CONFIG flags improves behaviors but just causes different issues
• A single report of a custom Docker RHEL 7.5 image pull of working, but not 7.3. This bug can be reproduced on images built using the CentOS Docker image kickstart file as built with this script.

Logs:

• strace
• etl files
• procmon logs

Thank you so far to @therealkenc @crramirez @Conan-Kudo @daviesalex and @pmatilai for working on this issue.

experiences critical error

logs show anaconda cannot find package vim-minimal

kickstart files says to install vim-minimal
at https://github.com/CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-build/blob/master/docker/centos-7arm64.ks#L42

commenting out vim-minimal in kickstart file just produces can't find systemd, other packages, etc.

packages seem to be in repo linked by kickstart file
at http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/updates/aarch64/Packages/

yet it cannot find them

perhaps anaconda cannot locate because no tree file?
