updating 5.6 but not going to 6.0
by Mike VanHorn 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

I'm confused as to how to install updates for CentOS 5.6 without upgrading to 6.0. When I do a "yum check-updates", the new *-release packages for 6.0 are listed, so I don't think I want to do a simply "yum update". Is there a way to update 5.6 without going to 6.0? --- Mike VanHorn Senior Computer Systems Administrator College of Engineering and Computer Science Wright State University 265 Russ Engineering Center 937-775-5157 michael.vanhorn(a)wright.edu http://www.engineering.wright.edu/~mvanhorn/

Re: [CentOS] Cent OS 6 freezing up

I'm having a problem with my desktop freezing up, and I'm running Cent OS 6. It seems to happen while I'm running firefox. I'm not sure if it's firefox, or the OS that's locking up. When it freezes up, nothing will respond, so I'm inclined to think it's the OS that's freezing up. Has anyone else been having this problem? > > I've had "many" temporary whole desktop freezes due to Firefox being overloaded. > Not sure who is the culprit... Gnome? Xorg?

It also does things like slowing to a crawl, and then there's when I allow something via noscript, and refresh the page... and then have to refresh and restart the streaming media that's running in another tab. mark

perl-Sys-Filesystem on 6.0
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

I'm trying to install a number of perl modules, and yum gives up with perl-Sys-Filesystem, because it has a dependency of perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) I've tried seeing what provides it, and yum says nothing. I also see, googling, that there was a problem thread on this list in '08 with the same dependency. Anyone have a clue, or workaround? mark

svnserve and SysVinit
by Andrew Dorozhkin 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hello there and SFME. Since el6 subversion package doesn't contain traditional SysV demonization script anymore I wonder how it is supposed to run svnserve from now on. 1) Should one write init script to be managed with service(8) on his own? 2) Or launch svnserve on demand via (x)inetd? 3) Or put svnserve command line in some rc-script? 4) Or maybe is ra_svn deployment scheme not supported in el6 at all and one should stick with Apache/mod_dav_svn? Thanks d.a.

XFCE missing applets: weather and xfapplet
by wwp 26 Aug '11

Hello there, I'm just looking for two XFCE applets I'm missing: the weather and xfapplet (the one to load GNOME applets). Couldn't find them in repositories I know of. Any hint or do I have to either wait or compile their sources by hand? Thanks in advance for any XFCE help! Regards, -- wwp

Audacious crashing (64bit)
by wwp 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hello there, My first post here and even my first CentOS (after years of Fedora). Audacious is crashing at startup, here's the output: audacious: relocation error: /usr/lib64/audacious/Input/ffaudio.so: symbol av_register_protocol2, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference Does anybody reproduce? Would this reveal a problem (or my misuse) with rpmfusion ffmpeg packages? CentOS6 64bit here on a Dell Latitude E6500. $rpm -qa|grep audacious audacious-libs-2.4.5-1.el6.x86_64 audacious-2.4.5-1.el6.x86_64 audacious-plugins-2.4.5-1.el6.x86_64 $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libavformat.so.52 ffmpeg-0.6.1-1.el6.rf.x86_64 Regards, -- wwp

UPS issues with PFC PSU
by Robert Arkiletian 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Just noticed that our new server has a newer 80+ efficiency 865W PSU with PFC. So apparenty our existing 1500VA (865W) APC Back-UPS is not safe to use anymore. We apparently need a pure sine wave UPS. http://nam-en.apc.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8883 I found an affordable 1500VA UPS by CyberPower, model CP1500PFCLCD, which has a pure sine wave output. Wondering if anyone has experience with CyberPower UPS's. Are they any good? Any problems with pwrstatd ? -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada

I don't think those are specific enough. How 'bout centos.storage.dell, or centos.storage.dell.perc400 centos.storage.dell.perc700 ? *sigh* So we should all subscribe to how many lists? And then there's the threads that I wander into, that turn out to be very interesting, or useful, that I wouldn't have subscribed to. mark
