ClearOS Feature Request
B560 Chipset
Hello
Will ClearOS work on the "new" B560 Chipset Motherboards with the 11th gen Intel CPU's? Or can there be any problems?
Thank you

I can't find any useful information on it. Normally you can search for strings like "b560 centos", "b560 el7" and so on but I am not getting any sensible hits. Note that ClearOS is compatible with the Elrepo kernels and they are bleedin' edge so at least they should work. The issue may then be how to install ClearOS in the first place to be able to update the kernel. Also the current installation disk for ClearOS is 7.7. We have not yet produced one for 7.9. -

For example ASRock B560 Pro4.
I only found this on Linux in the manual:
Legacy USB Support
Enable or disable Legacy OS Support for USB 2.0 devices. If you encounter USB
compatibility issues it is recommended to disable legacy USB support. Select UEFI
Setup Only to support USB devices under the UEFI setup and Windows/Linux
operating systems only.
Also the same for the ASRock B560 Steel Legend.
Here are also some other motherboards that I'm considering: ASUS PRIME B560-PLUS, Gigabyte B560M AORUS ELITE, Gigabyte B560M D3H, Gigabyte B560 HD3
For Gigabyte B560M D3H and B560 HD3 I found this:
Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
So, even the 7.9 version lacks support for the B560 chipset?
Is there a 7.9.1 version in the works with B560 support?
Or 8.0 with support of the old bandwidth manager? Yes, I know, wishful thinking -

Note I've never stated whether 7.7 or 7.9 support the B560 chip. I don't know and I can't find any sensible links. Almost certainly 7.9 would work if you could install an ElRepo kernel into it. It may work with the stock kernel. The issue would be getting you to an installation with the ElRepo kernel. It may mean loading ClearOS onto another machine then transplanting the disk, or it may work out of the box. -
Accepted Answer
Do I understand this correctly. If I install ClearOS 7.7 in another machine and then transplant the disk into the B560 machine it would definitely work? Or there is still a 50:50 chance?
On more thing. The ASRock B560 Steel Legend and the Gigabyte B560M AORUS ELITE both have 2.5 Gbit Realtek LAN.
Do you know if the kernel in 7.7 or 7.9 include this driver? -
Accepted Answer
No you don't understand correctly.
If you install 7.7 in another machine then transplant the disk immediately, it is the same as installing on the B560.
If you install 7.7 on another machine then perform a full update, it will update itself to 7.9. It may work on the B560.
If you install 7.7 on another machine then install an Elrepo Kernel then transfer the disk to the B560, it will then have the latest available kernel and, from that perspective, should work but there are other issues that could go wrong with transferring a disk, and it is essential that you boot from either BIOS or UEFI on both machined and not one on one and the other on the other.
Without knowing the PCI IDS or the NIC type, I can't say if ClearOS has the drivers. If it needs the r8125 driver you will need to get it from Elrepo again. Once you have ClearOS installed "lspci -knn | grep Eth -A 3" should identify it. -

I can't advise on the B560. It could be an expensive mistake or it could be fine.
Thank you Nick for the explanation.
After reading all this, I don't know anymore, if I should buy the new B560 motherboard with 11th gen Intel...
What do you think?
Did you maybe ask the Clearcenter team regarding the ClearOS 7.9 iso? Maybe an approximate time? 1-2 weeks or more?
With respect to the iso, I am working on it but we are struggling with a space issue. -

There is a 7.9 iso now available for testing in https://mirrorlist.clearos.com/clearos/testing/7.9.1.325269/iso/x86_64/. (I originally posted this to the wrong thread) -

Can this also be done in ClearOS? -

Different strain of Linux, but there are some ideas there. If the installer won't run because of graphics issues, you could try it in text mode - see the documentation here. They also suggested a later kernel. You don't quite have that option, but you can use the kernel-ml packages from ElRepo, but only if the supplied kernel has problems. -

After about 1.5 months of waiting for the motherboard that I wanted to arrive to my country I finally Installed ClearOS 7.9.1 on the B560 chipset with 11th gen Intel CPU.
But, I have an issue. After booting it always says "Starting API System...." Is this some king of bug? Or is this because of the new chipset? Or not supported GPU drivers?
I can access ClearOS via the webconfig. -

After the first boot, the system has gone to the "graphical console", where you can edit network interfaces, but after a few seconds it was all black screen and a message that Firefox is not responding. And a few times, the system also crashed... I'm attaching 2 pictures.
But now, it won't go to the "graphical console" anymore, it only says "Starting API System...." -
Accepted Answer
I am aware of the white screen after the first install. I'll be doing an install on Monday so I'll see if there is anything in the logs. Did you install the release iso (7.7) or the RC iso (7.9)
The console, (gconsole) is a cut down version Firefox and it is a bit old and seriously in need of an update, but Firefox has seriously changed since our version of gconsole that it is not a simple case of applying the patches to the later code.
I've no idea about the crashing and I've no idea what graphics drivers ClearOS uses.
Similarly I have no idea about the hang at starting API.
Is there anything in your logs (messages, boot, dmesg and system)? Where you get a crash, if you reboot successfully, you may have to look at the prior dmesg log to see the crash. -

Release iso 7.7 didn't work for me. I used 7.9, which you posted in a different thread. The iso that you posted in this thread also didn't work (the marketplace didn't work).
I can now reboot normally, and everything else works, for now Just this Starting API... and no access to graphical part.
What exactly should I write in the filter or search bar in logs? -

I'm trying to connect to ClearOS with WinSCP, but if I change the defaultRoot in /etc/proftpd.conf from "~" to "/", then I can see all the files on ClearOS, but most of them are access denied... What should I do?
OK, never mind, I figured it out now, I connected as root not as user
For what should I look?
I'm also trying to setup an SFTP. Does ClearOS have an SFTP application?
Can I share samba shares with SFTP? -

I found this error in messages: Server kernel: Chrome_~dThread[2167]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f0da660a92d sp 00007f0da3b4fb00 error 6 in libxul.so[7f0da60fb000+57f6000]
and it repeats a few times, but I don't know if this is where the system crashed. It only happened once in the latest 7.9 version and this only at first boot, if I remember correctly. -

Not at all similar hardware. I am installing onto an HP ML110 and NVMe as a quick test of the NVMe which won't work in my PCIe x16 slot of my production server. I know from other reports there is often a white screen on a first install which goes after reboot, and I'd like to see if I can find anything. If anything untowards happens, I can have a look. -

It may be possible to bring gconsole up to the firefox-68 level if the patches at v61 apply cleanly to v68. I could have a look at that sometime. If they don't apply cleanly then I don't think I can do anything. After Ff-68 there were huge changes to the code. I think XUL was removed and the patches certainly don't work. I have tried in the past. I know in ClearOS we also have to block later updates to Ff as they are incompatible with gconsole based on Ff 61. -

The time that the API message is visible is different and I'm not sure why. Sometimes I have very long row of dots and then its boots further. Also as you noted the inlog box is not always visible my experience is when the server has no IP address the screen is just white and has no inlog box. -

In my case, that API message doesn't go away, it stays there forever and I can't go in the login box.
Yesterday I did another new install to se if the crash would reappear and it didn't.
But the API message thing was going this way:
First time boot after install - I couldn't go to the login box, where you can set the network interfaces, I did a reboot with Ctrl + Alt + Del.
Second time I could go to the login box, but the screen goes always black, when I moved the mouse cursor, around the cursor the image appeared but then after a few seconds again black, but I could somehow set the network interfaces (I moved the mouse around a lot ), so that the webconfig started to work.
After the third reboot I couldn't get past the API message again... -

My installation on an HP ML110 with an NVME worked fine once I'd deleted the NTFS partition on the disk (the installer wouldn't touch it). The initial console came up fine as it did subsequently, so I had nothing to troubleshoot. -

I have found this Errors in messages:

There are more of this, if you think that they are important I can copy them all.
