yum $releasever thinks it's 1 instead of 3
by Steve Campbell 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3. The usual procedure is to do a yum update twice, and all is fine. This time, I had to rebuilddb before I could run the second yum update, and once I started this, yum fails. It says that $releasever is "1.0". Now I realize I could manually edit my yum.conf and make it go to 3, but this may not fix the problem down the road. Can someone tell me where this variable is defined, and any suggestions on how to fix this problem, please? Might a reinstall of yum packages fix this, as a last resort? Thanks very much.

yum $releasever thinks it's 1 instead of 3 - Nevermind

Never mind. I updated with the centos-release rpm and that seemed to fix it. Thanks for any who may have offered already. Original below: I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3.

That seems to have worked. One other question. If a program is already running on the remote machine and you want to move the display to the local machine, can that be done? i.e. I have Thunderbird already running on the remote machine, and would like to move it to the local machine. Would that work? Or would it be necessary to kill the remote process and re-start it with the tunneled X session? Thanks, Paul

ot: vlans and vmware
by Gordon McLellan 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Does anyone have VLAN tagging working from within a guest on vmware-server? I'm running a centos 4.5 guest on a centos 5 host with vmware server 1.04and I've tried creating vlans using both the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts method and just doing it from the cli via vconfig. Either way appears to work, the OS creates the vlans, but I think vmware's network adapter must be eating the tags or something, since the guest is not able to talk to the real vlan on the switch. On the host I setup vmnet3 to be bridged to eth1. I bring eth1 up on the host but don't configure it in anyway. Vmnet3 is configured as eth1 on the guest as well. If I create vlans on eth1 on the host, it is able to talk to corresponding vlans on the switch. I'm wondering if there's some trick to get it work or some configuration string needed in the vmx file? Right now I have the vlans setup on the host and then bridged to vmnetX adapters for the guests. But this is kind of messy since I have to take all my virtual machines down to change anything. Thanks! Gordon

Strange sound/browser problem on Centos5
by fred smith 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I just did (the other day) a clean install of Centos 5 and am having a really weird problem that I never had before (on centos 4.5). when listening to nrk p2 (http://www.nrk.no/p2/) using Firefox, and when the small window for the player gets obscured by another window the sound stops playing. Move the obscuring window and it starts right up. I haven't yet been able to tell if it is paused, or if it is just silenced but still running. Anybody got any clues? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

AW: [CentOS] CentOS 5 release for IBM z/Series?
by Nils.Reimann＠izb.de 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi dag! Thx for your reply! So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z? At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it. Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the decision-maker. So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion we thougt. (redhat / fedora was always my favorite flavor *g*) It would be great if we can give something to the community! Personaly i can't help very much cause i'm the only knowledge carrier here for z/linux, with anoter colleague, and so we havent much time. How is development going on for centos on z and how can we help so i can talk with my head. Thx for reading!

We definitely are looking for people to show their interest and to help out. If you feel strong about having an s390 release, maybe we could create an s390 Special Interest Group, hopefully if enough interest exists and we have to resources (mainly manpower) to build and support it once again, it can happen. More information about Special Interest Groups: http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup I have heard other people voice interest in a recent s390 build, but with nobody taking initiative and without hard numbers of interested people it may not be forthcoming. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
