Re: [CentOS] Any known problems with kernel-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64 / x86_64 / 3ware?

I posted the following bug to RedHat yesterday for similar symptoms with RHEL 5.4, same kernel. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525898 I happen to have a 3ware raid card, but didn't think of it as a culprit. Were you seeing any soft lockup messages with kswapd0 in /var/log/messages?

I understand the goal Fedora project to test the latest software available. In this way, Fedora isn't for everyone. At least is not for your main system, but if you have a spare machine to install and play with it, it's probably a good idea. In my case, the rpmfusion NVIDIA driver didn't like my card, a Quadro NVS280. I there are too many updates, and sometimes they crash something. I remember while using Fedora 10, after disappointment with F9, after an update, the sound stopped to work. I didn't like the idea of Thunderbird beta in F 12. Also, the external drives are mounted using the uuid(?) name, so instead of /media/disk, appears something like /media/88299233ddd22, which breaks my backup/recover script. And a few other thinks. My general option was that the experience wasn't good, or put in another way, Ubuntu works better. None of this is critical, but it is annoying. For me, a good distribuition would be something seating between Fedora and CentOS. In the last months I started thinking that Ubuntu feel this gap. I still believe that CentOS is best option for servers and technical workstations, but not for my laptop, a Dell XPS M1530. Regards mg.

Finally got keepass installed
by Eric Clark 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

well I finally got Keepass installed on CentOS The libraries for qt4 are actually located at pbone as well as keepass. I would love to know how to add pbone.net as a trusted repo in Yum, just for you guys that like to work with cross operating systems and having a password manager. Keepass is pretty good for all platforms and I even have it on my blackberry.

Re: [CentOS] problem installing CentOS 5.3

> > Eric Clark wrote: > have you tried getting KDE to run? > Eric, Thanks, that's a good suggestion to try KDE - so far I haven't figured out how to install it short of a complete reinstall. If I run yom I get a message to the effect that a database is malformed. It downs't say if the database is mine or the morrors, though. What should I do about that ? I hould have mentioned that I ran memtest86 after installing some new memory (this was before my last install of CentOS). I let it complete one pass (about an hour and a half) and it found no errors. Thanks, Buz Davis

rsync followup - what did I run?
by Scott Ehrlich 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Many people have wondered what my rsync syntax was - [as root]: rsync -av /path/to/source me@remote-host:/path/to/dest I'll be adjusting it to adapt to perform incrementals, probably with --update. So, just need to learn why some of the .dotfiles, and other unknown files (unless I ran a diff) didn't successfully copy over. Thanks.
