Hello there,
In addition to what has already been mentioned, I wanted to point out that CentOS Linux 8 has reached End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021.
I would strongly recommend planning either migration to another OS like Debian or Ubuntu, or upgrading to CentOS Stream.
I personally believe that the safest way to do this is to follow these steps here:
rsync
for example copy over your files and migrate your databasesRegards, Alex
Hi @MassiveCyanSeal,
I haven’t seen such an issue before however after some research, this seems to be a bug with nmtui. What seems to fix the issue is the
option.
Basically, what seems to work is:
Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX are your IP addresses accordingly to what’s needed.
Hope this helps!
