Trusted Repositories
by Nicholas Anderson 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi all, do you know some good/trusted repositories to include in yum's configuration that has packages that are not in the install tree ??? something like linuxpackages.net is for slackware .... I mean, I was looking for a program to watch dvd's (like mplayer) and was thinking if there wasn't anyway to install it through yum, but i didn't find any of them in the main repositories ..... Im a slackware user and was thinking of changing to centos mainly because im tired of having to compile things by hand :-) I still use slackware on servers (it's performance and simplicity r great). But im starting to migrate to centos on my laptop and workstation .... i installed it on my new laptop and i got everything working (like sound, wireless and video opengl) without having to compile anything ..... and this was very impressive to me .... so, i wanna see dvd' s on my laptop without having to compile programs :-) any tips ? -- Nicholas Anderson Administrador de Sistemas Unix LPIC-1 Certified Rede Fiocruz e-mail: nicholas(a)fiocruz.br

System crash on loading gdm revisited
by Debbie Tropiano 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hello - I've been seeing system crashes similar to this (http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1045) on my Rocks head node. Instead of the standard kernel, I've got a SNARE patched 2.6.9-34 kernel running. Initially I'd used the RHEL kernel source to build it (due to laziness ... it was easier to track down :-), but have just rebuilt with the CentOS kernel source and am now seeing these crashes. Can someone point me to the specific patch that fixes this problem? I'd like to confirm that it's part of my source before looking at other things.

I do have the extras repo enabled. > > -sam Hmmm. Now I am confused. I guess I just realized that there is an "extras" repo in the stock CentOS yum config. I used the repo file that I retrieved from the above URL. There are not the same are they? Sorry if that is a thread hijack ;) alex

Building a new 2.6 kernel
by John Warren 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

I needed more serial ports that the basic CentOS Version 4 system is built to use so I'm using the following kernel build instructions to build the new 2.6 kernel: http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Basic_Server_Configuration:Modem-sp… fic_Guidance I believe the procedure is correct but the kernel is not building. I used the "kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.src.rpm file that I found on one of the CentOS mirrors. Here are the problems that I've had so far. 1) The correct architecture to use. Does anyone know which architecture should be used for the Dell 2650 Dual Xeon processor? I thought the correct configuration file would have been "kernel-2.6.9-i686-smp.config". I've also tried "kernel-2.6.9-i586-smp.config" and run into the same problems. 2) When it built the rpm it was named "kernel-2.6.934.ELcustom-1.i386.rpm" but I would have expected it to be named "kernel-2.6.9-34.ELcustom-1.i386.rpm". Was it build using the correct name or might something be misconfigured. 3) When I entered the following command: "rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-2.6.934.ELcustom-1.i386.rpm" I get the following error: "error: Failed dependencies: kernel >= 2.6.10 conflicts with lksctp-tools-1.0.2-6.4E.1.i386" The "kernel >= 2.6.10" does not make sense but I was wondering if it had anything to do with the file being named kernel-2.6.934.... or is there some other problem I should be looking for? Ideas anyone?

All screwed up
by Sam Drinkard 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

I've apparently made a mess of clamav. Tried uninstalling it, and excluded it from dag's repo. Now, when I yum install clamav and clamav-server, I'm apparently missing all the libs, data and so forth. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this back ? I probably blew all the old stuff away during the update or later, and don't have a clue as to why it's not doing what it's supposed to now.
