Hi, So first daft question with Centos 6 (someone had to be first!) I've setup Centos 6 as a Server but as with Centos 5 it used to boot into the GUI but v6 doesn't do this, startx etc doesn't seem to work to launch the GUI Any suggestions on how I can get this to work? Thank you Keith

EL4 and spamassassin info
by R - elists 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

greetings, have been google foo for week or so. used to be super easy to upgrade spamassassin on CentOS dist. just grab the tarball and put in right spot and rpmbuild -tb spamassassin-3.somethingsomething.tar.gz then rpm or yum install and done would take just a few minutes. Yet... in regards to EL4 / CentOS 4 and spamassassin, it appears the end of the road for .spec in SA tarball evidentally some admins had a hard time doing the above for some perl issues. we havent had urgent need to upgrade one of our legacy mail servers that is still on 4. that will change of course with Centos6 out now. this is, did anyone roll a spamassassin 3.3.2 for CentOS4 / EL4 yet? tips or share rpms please? - rh

make install?
by hadi motamedi 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Dear All I downloaded the octave-3.4.2 and tried to install it on my centos 5.6 as the following: #./configure But it prompted for lack of a c compiler, so I tried to install gcc first and then re-executed it and it was successful. #make But it prompts as "No targets specified and no makefile found". #make install But it prompts as "No rule to make target 'install'". I had the same steps for installing applications when I was on my centos 5.0 machine. Can you please let me know what is wrong my case? Thank you

Re: [CentOS] Anaconda install groups vs yumgroups?

There is no magic behind. yum grouplist > lists all available and installed groups (sorted) This does not appear to be true. If it was I would not have posted at all or maybe I am just confused. For example, in anaconda there is an install group called "Minimal Desktop" If I look in the comps.xml in the centos repo there is no such group. There is also a Minimal group that does not appear in comps. All I am trying to do is understand the relationship between the groups listed in anaconda and in comps.xml. Does anaconda use a different comps.xml? Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl(a)rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123(a)rogueind.com

centOS6 ipa-client update
by David 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Using FreeIPA Server V2 and began testing against CentOS6 since it has a better support for SSSD. Ran into an issue with importing a Kerberos keytab to the new host and the FreeIPA folks indicated this is a known bug that was fixed in RHEL5.6: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-0832.html The new IPA client is ipa-client-2.0-10.el5_6.1. Any idea when this will make it into the CentOS6 repo? David

Your script should take care of this. One thing to watch out for is if the script is running and you use a lockfile to exit from a 2nd one running, the original script won't get the message about the 2nd file. Maybe that matters for this application, maybe not. -☙ Brian Mathis ❧-
