HOWTO? Upgrade Centos-2 to Centos-3
by jabevan＠shistudios.com 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

I've been Googling on this all day, installing GPG Keys, and trying different yum configurations. I noticed a similar question in the list a couple of months ago about going from RHEL to Centos-3, but the answer wasn't definitive. Has anyone done this? Can this be done? Can it be done with yum? If so, how? When I 'yum update' I get /usr/bin/yum, yummain.main, yummain.py, clientStuff.py errors, and a "ValueError: unpack list of wrong size" error. Would definitely appreciate any direction. Thanks, JAB*

Need apache ftp help please
by Beth Curotto 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

System = CentOS / Apache 2.0 / HTML files location = /var/www/html Nat'd IP - ports 80, 20, 21 already opened & routed to internal ip. I desperately need the quick & dirty solution. I need a setup where one user can ftp from another desktop (windows) to upload new website files. I currently have CuteFTP, but will use anything needed at this point. I need to try to test this today. VERY new to linux, I am completely bogged down trying to learn command-line syntax. Thanks in advance, Beth

Re: [Centos] nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3
by C.M. Connelly 23 Sep '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 An option to installing the nVidia drivers with nVidia's installer is to get the dell-nvidia and dkms packages from Dell's support website (search for dell-nvidia and dkms). The best thing about this approach is that the driver will be recompiled when the machine is rebooted with a new kernel. As a (perhaps irrelevant) data point, I'm running a PowerEdge 400SC with an nVidia Corporation GeForce3 Ti 200 and a DVI connection to a Dell 2000FP monitor at the full 1600x1200 resolution. Works great with the nVidia drivers; only the analog connection works for X with the XFree driver. I have a GeForce4 card with the same monitor at home in my Debian system; works great with the Debian-packaged nVidia drivers.

by Ulrik S. Kofod 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Sorry if this is off topic, but the cpan mail list seems quite ded, and I was wondering if any of you have had the same problem. when ever I do a perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::CPAN" I get this error: ---------------------------------- Net::Telnet is up to date. Net::Cmd is up to date. Bundle summary: The following items in bundle Bundle::libnet had installation problems: Data::Dumper Term::ReadKey is up to date. Term::ReadLine::Perl is up to date. CPAN is up to date. Bundle summary: The following items in bundle Bundle::CPAN had installation problems: Digest::MD5 Bundle::libnet and the following items had problems during recursive bundle calls: Data::Dumper ---------------------------------- I have done it on my redhat9 and centos-3.3 box and both gave same error? Anybody out there have a solution ? brgds Ulrik

network card / kudzu
by Ulrik S. Kofod 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

When I have installed centOS, Kudzu says my network cards have been removed, and right after it finds them again and asks me to configure them? It looks like it is the same thing it finds that it just said was removed. There are 3 Relatek|RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ cards in there and it is all of them it will remove and reconfigure. It doesn't matter if I select ignore or reconfigure them, they still work after the reboot. It is just a little strange and seems a little buggy ;) brgds Ulrik

Re: did I write that nVIDIA cards never work?
by Rick Graves 23 Sep '04

Denis, You wrote: > You may have problems on your side...but you can't generalise and say that it does not work. Maybe you have me confused with someone else. I did not write or imply that nVIDIA cards never work. Rather, I wrote that they may not work. By this, I meant that they do not work with some monitors. I checked what I wrote, and I believe the above paragraph is correct. If you disagree with me and stand by your statement, please refer me to the sentence(s) that I wrote that back you up. In addition to me, two people have written to the group recently about the nVIDIA problem. They can vouch for the fact that there is sometimes a problem. I agree that nVIDIA cards work for many people (including for me, which I also wrote). But the fact that they work for many people does not solve the problem when one does not work with a specific monitor. This topic is near and dear to my heart, as I first encountered the problem when I was trying to install CentOS on machine with an nVIDIA card and using a monitor with which nVIDIA cards do not work (my Mag DX1495). At the beginning, I did not know that the card was the problem, I only knew that the screen went blank toward the end of the install. In addition to trying to solve the problem by tweeking the XF86Config file (boy, was that futile!), it literally took me hours of parts swapping, distribution swapping, and OS swapping (trying Windows too), to finally figure out that the nVIDIA card was the problem. (Some might say that the card/monitor combination was the problem, but Windows has no problem with the combination.) Maybe my frustration with nVIDIA cards shows, and as a result, my emails on this topic are easily misinterpreted. Rick > Message: 8 > Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2004 20:38:24 -0400 > From: "Denis E.

Re: nVIDIA on Linux -- less is more
by Rick Graves 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Christopher, I have a couple of other points. My recent email with the subject "nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3" was specifically in response to Kevin Wood's Fri, 17 Sep 2004 email with the subject "Does the nvidia graphic card problem still exist with CentOS-3.3?". The wording of my email came out wrong because I was responding to Kevin's email (which I copy below, along with my response on Sunday). As you can see from Kevin's email, he had problems with nVIDIA cards, and he was wondering whether CentOS 3.3 would resolve them. So I was writing to let him know the answer (No!). I looked up the prior discussion of nVIDIA cards in the mail digest. For the record, they are available here: http://www.caosity.org/pipermail/centos/ CentOS digest, Vol 1 #65 - 3 msgs Fri, 18 Jun 2004 CentOS digest, Vol 1 #66 - 7 msgs Sat, 19 Jun 2004 CentOS digest, Vol 1 #67 - 3 msgs Mon, 21 Jun 2004 Rick Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 05:02:17 -0700 (PDT) From: "Rick Graves" <gravesricharde(a)yahoo.com> Subject: Re: nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3 To: centos(a)caosity.org Kevin, > Will the same problems exist with CentOS-3.3 > that existed in CentOS-3.1 regarding the nvidia > graphics cards. I can try it later this week (assuming that CentOS-3.3 is fully ready to go by then). At the office, I have all the components of my "hardware combination from hell," and it would be easy to get them all onto the test bench.
