centos 7 yum dependency issue
by Tom Bishop 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

I had some packages that I needed to install and they have some issues, I installed via rpm and did some linking and got them working. However Yum still thinks that they are broken: ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: has missing requires of python(abi) = ('0', '2.6', None) Yum appears to install whatever I need but spits that out at the bottom, is there any way I can have it ignore this issue? I searched via google but most deal with resolving the issue, and I have but yum is unaware. Thanks.

CentOS to reside near a NTFS system
by wwp 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Hello there, the *old* PC (Turion 64 MT-32 800MHz, 1Gb RAM) of my gf is running Windows XP, and I plan on installing a CentOS beside of it, allowing her to select the OS at boot-time. Other system/OS installing options are not retained, please avoid ;-). My first attempt was to install the CentOS7 GNOME-Live on a USB flashdisk and to boot it on the machine. It was either freezing at grub stage (!?) or later at GDM login stage. I gave up. Then I installed the CentOS6 LiveCD on the USB flashdisk, and booted in on the machine. Works fine so far, but it cannot mount the Windows NTFS partition (unknown partition type - no NTFS driver in the Live system?) so I cannot either access the user data in the NTFS partition, nor shrink the NTFS partition in order to install the CentOS6 system on disk. So I'm wondering, if ever I boot from a pmagic live system and succeed in shrinking down the NTFS and make room for the CentOS6 install: - will the CentOS6 live system be able to install at all and allow dual boot so that it's conservative WRT the existing Windows system? - once installed, will the CentOS6 system be able to mount read-WRITE the NTFS partition (even if I have to install an alternative repository)? Read-only would be useless to us. - why not, is there a way I could get success with the CentOS7? If not, the CentOS6 is fine with me. Those are the pre-requisites for me to run CentOS6 on this - ah-hum - slow system and be happy with it. Any though? Regards, -- wwp

ddclient under CentOS-7?
by Timothy Murphy 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Is anyone running ddclient under the CentOS-7? It doesn't seem to be in epel. I've downloaded the source and it is running, but giving me endless warnings. Could I run it as a daemon? I'm not sure if this is allowed nowadays. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

installer and os-prober not finding Windows XP installation
by Eric Smith 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

I installed CentOS 7 on a Shuttle X27D box (dual-core Atom 330), and so far it seems to work fine, but it didn't set up a Grub2 entry for the existing Windows XP installation in the first partition (MBR). Running os-prober generates no output. fdisk shows that the NTFS partition is still present as /dev/sda1, and still has the bootable flag set. I added a menuentry for Windows to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom: menuentry "Windows" { set root=(hd0,1) chainloader +1 } and ran: grub2-mkconfig >/boot/grub2/grub.cfg and that lets me boot Windows, but I thought this was supposed to be taken care of automatically. Is there any known problem that prevents the installer or Grub2 from finding Windows XP? I don't normally set up dual-boot on production machines, but I use it a lot for testing. Thanks, Eric

Some thoughts on systemd
by Timothy Murphy 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

I haven't had any problems with systemd. However, I didn't have any problems with sysVinit over many years. But the only practical advantage of systemd that I've seen touted is that it speeds up boot-time. Even if this were true it does not seem to me worth worrying about, as - in my case at least - the frequency of re-booting is so low that even if it took twice as long it would still be a negligible fraction of my time. In fact I've been running CentOS-6.5 and CentOS-7 off and on for the last few days, and I have found no difference in boot-time. It takes my HP MicroServer 80 seconds to reboot and login, and at least 65 seconds of this is taken up with messages from HP's BIOS, checking USB devices or ports, checking PXE devices (I know I could probably turn this off), and starting up KDE. So I find this particular argument for systemd null and void. As far as I can see, the other reason for favouring systemd is more philosophical, and is based on the idea that the many different start-up routines share a considerable amount of common code, and that it is good to take out this code and put it in a separate process. That seems to me a good Unix-like argument. In principle this should simplify the algorithms involved. But it seems to me that the way in which it has been implemented has in fact increased the complication rather than the reverse. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Installing CentOS7 boot loader into the /boot partition
by Edward Diener 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

I did not see any way, during the CentOS7 install, to install the CentOS7 boot loader into the /boot partition rather than to the MBR of a drive. How does one do this in the installation of CentOS7 ?

Re: [CentOS] Disable auto window maximize

But Gnome 3 is new to CentOS. In fact Gnome 3 was the main reason I stopped using Fedora and moved to CentOS in the first place. Thanks for the info though. It appears that dconf-editor is just a graphical front end to gsettings. In my original post, I mentioned some of the gsettings commands that I had already tried. I eventually found the right one by searching through one by one - my original comment about the documentation still stands. For others searching the archives in the future, the command that stopped the awful auto-maximise is: $ gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.classic-overrides edge-tiling false Intuitively obvious, right?... yeah. Job #1 - make it less annoying - check. Job #2 - make it less ugly... Steve

Centos 7 NetInstall: Pane is dead
by Nordgren, Bryce L -FS 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hi list, I downloaded the netinstall iso, burned it to disk, and tried to install on my old Dell PowerEdge 2900 (Intel Xeon / 8Gb ram). Machine is connected to a KVM. The Centos 6 netinstall iso worked flawlessly on this exact configuration two days ago. The first thing anaconda does after verifying the media is complain that "pane is dead" in the lower left corner. At this point, there does not seem to be much I can do (system ignores keypresses). Is there a way to get more details about what went wrong? Thanks much, Bryce This electronic message contains information generated by the USDA solely for the intended recipients.
