upgrading to a minor release 4.1 to 4.2
by sheraz naz 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, I need to upgrade a system running 4.1 to 4.2, but before I do I want to list out all the packages that will be updated/installed/removed. I can run up2date -l to get a list of updates but does that show packages that need to be installed and removed as well or just the updates? Second, how would I go about upgrading 4.1 to 4.2 instead of 4.8 (i.e. latest update). Unfortunately I don't have access to centos 4.x at the moment.and googling just centos 4.1 to 4.2 is not bringing up relevant information. Thanks Sheraz

release of 5.5? (filesystem troubles)
by Rainer Fuegenstein 17 May '10

17 May '10

hi guys, is there an estimate when centos 5.5 will be released? I'm sitting on needles here, because since I moved my 4*1.5TB raid5 from an asus to an intel D510 mainboard I encounter bug the described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512552 short version: running xfs on top of a raid5 under heavy load causes corrupted data to be read and the filesystem shutting down occasionally. version 5.5 should solve this problem. if 5.5 is just a few days away I'll keep waiting, but if it takes much longer I'll need to work around this problem like going back to the old mainboard, compiling the kernel myself, switching to ext3 - none of which I'm eager to do. cu

Free and Robust Hotspot Management Software ?
by Roberto HT 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear all, Could anybody give me some recommended open source software for wifi management? What I am looking for is a simple and basic tools, for example the software will have these kind of features : - user connect to the wifi network - user got IP from DHCP but he can't browse to anywhere at first. Instead he will redirected to a "login page" - administrator will set the username and password (e.g : user1, password ; user2, password2) - if needed, the username will be enabled and be given to the user - if unused, the username will simply be disabled so no authenticated user could connect eventhough they remember the password. - I don't need the billing system just the administration tools. I already googled and found chillispot, but it seemed to be an overkill software. Are there anything simpler than chillispot? Thanks. Roberto

bluetooth mouse
by Roger K. Wells 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hello, I believe that it is well known that the scroll wheel on the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 does not work on CentOS 5.4. It does, however, work as expected on Fedora 12 & Ubuntu 9.10 & 10.04. Does anyone know if there is a driver upgrade path for CentOS that will fix this problem? Thanks, roger wells -- Roger Wells, P.E.

Still gives me the seg fault error. 8-/ Never mind this problem. Just tried to start httpd and it gave me a segmentation fault as well. Something is not right with this particular machine and I think it's for the best to do a complete reinstall anyway. Thanks all. -- /Sorin

Yum segmentation fault when updating to CentOS v5.5
by Sorin Srbu 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi all, I'm getting a segmentation fault with yum when I try to update a CentOS v5.4 install to v5.5. What I've done: * Ran yum clean all. * Ran yum update yum* * Ran yum update, and got the segmentation fault. * Yum suggested running with option --skip-broken, which I did. Still got the segmentation fault. * Rebooted machine and ran yum update again. Segmentation fault... * Googled some and found some hints on rebuilding the rpm-database, which I did. * Ran yum update again. Got segmentation fault again. * Disabled all 3rd party repos, rpmforge and epel, tried yum update again and got seg fault. * Disabled all plugins; priorities, fastestmirror and kmod, tried yum pdate again and got seg fault yet again. * Removed /var/cache/yum and ran yum update. Got a seg fault. Any other tips, tricks or hints I could try? FWIW, this is the only machine I've had this problem with. All others I've updated to v5.5 so far have worked w/o a hitch as upgrades go.
