Upgrade=Broken x86_64
by Sam Drinkard 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

I just completed the upgrade of everything, and after a reboot, I have got some broken software. I am getting error messages from the NCAR command language that "Specified Workstation is NOT Open. In addition, a system call to opngks_() could not open "wrf_mass_plots.ncgm" which is the file it needs to read to produce the metafile. What changed that would cause software to think the workstation is not open? Next question.. is it possible to undo the upgrade, or would I be better off doing a clean install of system files should this breakage not be repairable with simplicity? Sam

Perl modules not working properly when installed via yum?
by dan.trainor 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Hello, all - I've been dealing with this problem for quite a while, and most of my solutions have just been dirty hacks. I'd like to find an appropriate solution. I've installed perl modules in the past via yum. Sure, they get installed - but none of my perl applications can find them. I know that this is a long outstanding issue, because I have yet to find a real solution. Since I know nothing of perl, I'll go ahead and ask the stupid questions here. Is @INC defined anywhere in the system, where I can add paths to it, to include additional modules? Is inclusion of modules via @INC recursive, or does each path need to be defined seperately? I've tried to define $PERL5LIB, as I was told that this would be prepended to @INC, but this does not seem to be the case. Anyone want to lend a hand with this? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the time -dant

IP Management SW
by HaraldFinnås 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Not a CentOS specific question, but I'll try anyway. :) I've decided I need a proper IP Management solution. In a perfect world I'd like something like QIP or NetID, but I have a feeling that's too much so ask, so I'll go for DHCP/DNS management. :) There's alot of different opensource products out there, but I'd rather get recommendations than spend days configuring all of them just for evaluation. :) Regards, Harald

The lates version of SAMBA is 3.0.10 for Centos yet the latest release from Sambas website is 3.0.20b? Where would I be able to find a more up to date package for Centos that has all the new features as well as the security fixes? I've tried samba website and I'm not sure if I can use the rpms for redhat 9 or fedora 4 ones with Centos?? Regards, -Paul

Re: [CentOS] Update or not?
by Brian T. Brunner 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Update worked flawlessly (except for problems arising from saturated mirror bandwidth) Afterwards, however, 'yum update' doesn't work because of 'dag' repository failures. Taking 'dag' out of /etc/yum.conf lets me continue, what's with 'dag'? Is he (his site) updated?

The only negative thing I've noticed so far is a ton of messages in /var/log/messages from dbus regarding the audit system. At this point, I don't know what they mean but nothing critical seems to be broken.

ATI Radeon 7000 and DRI
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

OK, so I've got two PCs with Radeon 7000. One has PCI version of the card, and the other has AGP version of the card. Before update to 4.2, I had DRI enabled on both of them, and it worked stable for me (lucky me). After update to 4.2, the PC with AGP version of the card does not load radeon kernel module anymore, and it seems DRI related options from xorg.conf file are ignored. On the PC with PCI version of the card radeon module gets loaded and everything still seems to work nicely and stable. I remember some talk about DRI being disabled when Radeon 7000 is detected on Alpha (or PPC, not sure), and this being CentOS specific modification. Has this modification by any chance accidentally leaked into i386 packages? Or is this something that came from upstream?
