rpm -U query
by Steve Thompson 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

CentOS, RHEL, all versions. Suppose I am upgrading a package foo-1.0 to foo-2.0 (assume foo is not relocatable), and both packages have %preun sections in their .spec files. It appears that foo-1.0's %preun is run after foo-2.0 has been installed. So what happens if foo-1.0 needs to run a binary that was provided as part of foo-1.0 during its %preun stage, and a binary of the same name is provided with foo-2.0? The installed binary is now foo-2.0's, right? So how to run foo-1.0's binaries during its %preun stage? Is the old binary available under a different name before it gets erased? -steve

centOS vs "the upstream vendor"
by Kevin Kempter 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi All; I have a laptop running the "workstation" version of Linux from RedHat. I've enabled the EPEL and rpmfusion repos plus I'm subscribed to the following channels: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) * Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Client (v.5 64-bit x86_64) * RHEL Desktop Supplementary (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) * RHEL Desktop Workstation FasTrack (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) * RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) * RHEL Desktop FasTrack (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) I have openioffice version 3.1.1 I also have 2 employees running fully patched 5.4 CentOS. They also have the EPEL and rpmfusion repos enabled as well as the centos plus repo. They however have openoffice version 2.3.0 I *thought* that CentOS was basically the equivelant of RHEL. did we do something wrong? or is RHEL (at least in the case of openoffice) shipping a newer release than CentOS? Thanks in advance...

setting up 3 network cards
by Jerry Geis 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

I am attempting to put 3 network cards in one box, running centos 64 5.4 network cards are forcedeth (motherboard), e1000e and r8169. I have ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 all configured up. All looks fine. eth0 is my internal network (forcedeth) eth1 is Cable modem eth2 is T1 data Once I connect the three networks and try to ping something all I can ping is internal network machines. Cant ping anything on eth1 or eth2. the route -n looks fine. the correct IP listest on left points to the correct ethX on the right. the default route is using eth2 at the moment. Is there something "special" about setting up 3 network cards that may help? What should I look into? Thanks, Jerry

Contos3->5 upgrade, smbmount is gone?
by Brunner, Brian T. 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

I solemnly puke upon people who break things and call it progress. Get ye to Redmond. I upgraded Centos3.8 to Centos5.4; smbmount is gone. Mounting a WinXP share requires a new instantiation of the old command smbmount \\\\hostname\\path\\to\\share /local/mount/point -o ip=123.12.34.234,username=hostname\\my_userid,password=whatever which should now be mount -t cifs <somebody please fill in the blanks here> Does the windows side have to change? If so what? ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

selinux
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

This is more a CentOS issue, I think (hope) than selinux. I've got some systems in permissive mode - good thing, or they'd be dead. they keep spewing execmem errors with java, among other things. This *seems* like something that should be covered. I looked at the policy (selinux-policy-targeted, and it's 2.4.6. Googling around for the error, trying to find what's hopefully a boolean, or a role/etc solution, I saw an FC package with a 3.somethingorother release. Now, I don't know if that related to fedora, or if that relates to an selinux release. Does anyone know? Are we, with CentOS, that far behind with something like this, which isn't even a port, but a policy? mark, tired of crap in my logs

Centos-release srpm
by Tom Diehl 22 Apr '10

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1.src.rpm? I have looked on several mirrors and that one seems to be MIA. Even Google does not seem to know where it is. I need it so I can rebuild it with my local yum repos in it. Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl(a)rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123(a)rogueind.com
