yum install make does not work
by Theo Band 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

I try to install make (should be present in base): yum install make Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.supportex.net * epel: mirror.nl.leaseweb.net * extras: mirrors.supportex.net * rpmforge: archive.cs.uu.nl * updates: mirrors.supportex.net Setting up Install Process No package make available. Error: Nothing to do This is a fresh install of CentOS6 (starting with a minimal install). All repositories seem to be working. I issued a yum clean and even removed the cache manually. A machine with a similar setup works as expected (yum remove make;yum install make). This problem prevents me from installing group server-platform. Since I started with a core installation by accident (wanted a Desktop) I simply Googled for the list of groups needed: Default grouplist: base core debugging directory-client java-platform network-file-system-client server-platform fonts print-client basic-desktop desktop-debugging desktop-platform general-desktop graphical-admin-tools input-methods legacy-x x11 internet-applications internet-browser office-suite remote-desktop-clients I was able to install all these groups except server-platform. And this boils down to not being able to install make. Any clue how to fix this? # yum groupinstall server-platform Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.supportex.net * epel: mirror.nl.leaseweb.net * extras: mirrors.supportex.net * rpmforge: archive.cs.uu.nl * updates: mirrors.supportex.net Setting up Group Process Checking for new repos for mirrors Package libstdc++-4.4.6-4.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package zlib-1.2.3-27.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package ncurses-libs-5.7-3.20090208.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package openssl-1.0.0-25.el6_3.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package krb5-libs-1.9-33.el6_3.3.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package openldap-2.4.23-26.el6_3.2.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package libgcc-4.4.6-4.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package 1:dbus-libs-1.2.24-7.el6_3.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package pam-1.1.1-10.el6_2.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package nss-3.13.5-1.el6_3.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package db4-4.7.25-17.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package redhat-lsb.x86_64 0:4.0-3.el6.centos will be installed --> Processing Dependency: redhat-lsb-printing for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: redhat-lsb-graphics for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: perl-Test-Simple for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: perl-Test-Harness for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: perl-CGI for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/pax for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/patch for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/make for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package patch.x86_64 0:2.6-6.el6 will be installed ---> Package pax.x86_64 0:3.4-10.1.el6 will be installed ---> Package perl-CGI.x86_64 0:3.51-127.el6 will be installed ---> Package perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker.x86_64 0:6.55-127.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: perl-devel for package: perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.55-127.el6.x86_64 ---> Package perl-Test-Harness.x86_64 0:3.17-127.el6 will be installed ---> Package perl-Test-Simple.x86_64 0:0.92-127.el6 will be installed ---> Package redhat-lsb.x86_64 0:4.0-3.el6.centos will be installed --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/make for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 ---> Package redhat-lsb-graphics.x86_64 0:4.0-3.el6.centos will be installed ---> Package redhat-lsb-printing.x86_64 0:4.0-3.el6.centos will be installed --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/foomatic-rip for package: redhat-lsb-printing-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package foomatic.x86_64 0:4.0.4-1.el6_1.1 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: foomatic-db for package: foomatic-4.0.4-1.el6_1.1.x86_64 ---> Package perl-devel.x86_64 4:5.10.1-127.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: perl(ExtUtils::ParseXS) for package: 4:perl-devel-5.10.1-127.el6.x86_64 ---> Package redhat-lsb.x86_64 0:4.0-3.el6.centos will be installed --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/make for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package foomatic-db.noarch 0:4.0-7.20091126.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: foomatic-db-ppds = 4.0-7.20091126.el6 for package: foomatic-db-4.0-7.20091126.el6.noarch --> Processing Dependency: foomatic-db-filesystem = 4.0-7.20091126.el6 for package: foomatic-db-4.0-7.20091126.el6.noarch ---> Package perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS.x86_64 1:2.2003.0-127.el6 will be installed ---> Package redhat-lsb.x86_64 0:4.0-3.el6.centos will be installed --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/make for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package foomatic-db-filesystem.noarch 0:4.0-7.20091126.el6 will be installed ---> Package foomatic-db-ppds.noarch 0:4.0-7.20091126.el6 will be installed ---> Package redhat-lsb.x86_64 0:4.0-3.el6.centos will be installed --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/make for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/make for package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: redhat-lsb-4.0-3.el6.centos.x86_64 (base) Requires: /usr/bin/make You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Nvidia forcedeth stops working
by Kenneth Porter 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

I just installed CentOS 6.3 on a Tyan motherboard and the NIC stopped talking after about 2 days of operation. It's connected to a Cisco 2950 switch. /var/log/messages has this in it: nv_stop_tx: TransmitterStatus remained busy I simply did an "ifdown eth0" and "ifup eth0" to bring it back to life again. I think I have this issue: <http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=18183> Is this a regression? Any suggestions on what I can try here?

yum vs. freenx
by Les Mikesell 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Is there any way (besides being awake when you do it...) to keep freenx updates from killing yum mid-transaction if you run the update in a freenx session? Normally I ssh in from a session on a different host but sometimes forget... -- Les Mikeselll lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

off-topic: firefox & noscript
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 18 Dec '12

Not a biggie, but definitely annoying: I try to register for a media site, so I can put in a comment, and every time I hit "register", noscript pops up telling me it's protecting me from cross-site scripting... and if it's giving me any way to say, "that's ok for this site", I don't see it. I've tried typing in a pattern for xss, and no joy. Clues for the annoyed? mark

Yum Segfaulting
by Ken Smith 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hi All, I have a Centos 5.8 system with relatively little memory, that runs in rl3, where yum has decided not to work any more. As follows:- # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 774628 697516 77112 0 77720 313284 -/+ buffers/cache: 306512 468116 Swap: 2048276 160 2048116 # yum -v Segmentation fault # uname -a Linux **.**.co.uk 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 17:08:10 EDT 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.8 (Final) I checked with "rpm -V yum" that its installed OK. Rebuilt the rpm database. Cut yum.repos.d down to just Centos-Base. I've manually cleared its cache. I've stopped most other processing to get the free memory to around 300K and yum still segfaults. I don't really feel like managing this system with just rpm :-( Any ideas where to look - I'm a bit stumped.

yum --security not detecting security updates
by Terry 18 Dec '12

Hello, We are running CentOS 5.5 on a server that is not reporting any security updates: [root@server01 ~]# yum -y --security check-update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: bay.uchicago.edu * extras: bay.uchicago.edu * updates: mirror.nyi.net Limiting package lists to security relevant ones No packages needed, for security, 261 available However, Nexpose, our vulnerability scanner detected otherwise. Upon digging deeper, I noticed that we are on a kernel version that has a known issue fixed in a later version: [root@server01 ~]# rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.18-194.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0610.html http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2010-August/016890.html I appreciate anyone's insight in helping me understand this a bit better. Thanks!
