Problems with RPM Database, usual techniques not working to recover DB
by Brian Lynch 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

I have a CentOS 5.2 i386 Development server that has a rpm db problem that I can't seem to solve. I have followed all the advice on Daniel Berrange's page on rpm db recovery: http://people.redhat.com/berrange/notes/rpmrecovery.html With no results, all I get from "rpm -qa" is list of two public gpg keys that are listed in the file system root. My question is where do I start to recover from this? Do I reinstall rpm? So far rpm refuses to do so (using any of the command line options and … [View More]

Checking fan state
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

I just replaced my fan in my nc2400. It was a 5hour job. Had to pull EVERYTHING to get to where they have the fan in the thing. Now I want to know if it is working. It is suppose to be thermostatically controlled, and it takes time to heat up. So how can I find out what Centos knows about the system temp and fan state? It was hard to tell if I put the connector in the right way. At least if that is all I did wrong, I can get to that connector with only pulling the drive....

Yum Issue.. Installing Older Package Version
by Tim Nelson 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I'm trying to install a package from a not-to-be-named repository (privately operated for some proprietary software). They currently have a package I need but offer multiple versions. However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm unable to do so. So, how would you specify version number for a package with two candidates but the same name? I'm at a … [View More]

Scriptable way to edit yum .repo files?
by Amos Shapira 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hello, Is there a standard programmatic way to manipulate yum configuration files, particularly the .repo files? I want to add things like "priority=..." per repo, or "check_obsoletes=1" to the priorities plugin config. I can cook specific search/append using perl or sed but was wondering whether there is a more elegant way. I found Perl's Conf::INI module but it expects comments beginning with ";", not "#". Thanks, --Amos

Obtaining a newer Broadcomm (bcm43xx) driver for CentOS 5
by Bart Schaefer 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

I'm using CentOS 5 (w/all latest updates as of 2008-01-06) on an HP laptop -- in fact, the exact laptop described here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Pavilion-ze5300_Series Ever since I switched from SHARED to OPEN authentication (and hence from using ndiswrapper to the bcm43xx module, as explained on that wiki page), I've been having packet loss and/or collision on the wireless device, to the point that recently I've needed to plug in to a wired network in order to get yum … [View More]
