C7, removing zoom problem
by Fred 11 Feb '23

11 Feb '23

Guys, I'm trying to update my zoom client and yum (or yumex) won't let me do an update, so I try to remove the installed one, on the theory that if it isn't there I should be able to install a newer one, by doing "sudo yum remove zoom_x86_64" (where my PWD is the directory where the zoom RPM files live) and it tells me "no packages marked for removal. Reading thru the man page for rpm I can't figure out any other way to do it. Suggestions, any one? Thanks in advance! Fred

by Kaushal Shriyan 10 Feb '23

Hi, I am running CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) on node1 and node2. Is there a way to compare both files and directories in web server document root -> /var/www/html/webservices residing on both node1 and node2 including the files content. It is to make sure that both nodes are having the same file contents,number of files,subdirectories and directories. Please guide me. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Kaushal

CentOS9 Stream - boinc client??
by Bill Gee 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

I have been running boinc client on CentOS7 hosts for some years. C7 is getting close to end of life. Time to upgrade to C9 ... But I cannot find a package for the boinc client. "dnf search boinc" returns nothing. I have enabled both EPEL and RPMFusion repositories. Is there a boinc client package for CentOS9 Stream? -- =============== Bill Gee

Re: [CentOS] dnf-makecache.service failing every few days and dnf-automatic.service samba sssd issues (again).

Hello everybody, Could someone give me an estimate on when the repositories are resolving the right dependencies for the freeipa pacakges in CentOS Stream release 8? I have about +10 systems sending me alerts everyday that dnf-automatic.service is failing because of the freeipa dependency issues. Since freeipa is one of the security elements I would like to give people an estimate on when these issues are resolved? How can I keep track of the work that is been done as well? Is there a package tracker to be followed for this? URLs? I asked this question on the centos-devel list weeks ago, but have not received any feedback. The issues is bothering me a lot as it is an security issue that stays unresolved.
