more about: Yum update fails with GPG key
by Rick Graves 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

There are a couple of bugs in Bugzilla about this. One that I posted (#622) describes the problem and Russ's response gives the solution. Searching for GPG in Bugzilla finds the bugs, including the one with the solution. --- centos-request(a)caosity.org wrote: > Send CentOS mailing list submissions to > centos(a)caosity.org >

Nvidia Driver and CentOS-3
by scty Library 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

Ok, Well I have narrowed it down to my mother board. It is a Biostar mother board with an NForce2 chipset. I have the Nvidia driver working on my home machine which is and Asus board with an NForce chipset running CentOS-3 and the Nvidia driver works fine. It has to be the NForce2 Chipset that is no good. I have tried updateing bios, Kernel and Xfree. There is just something with this NForce2 Chipset. Well that all the info I have right now.

Actually, while troubleshooting this display problem, not only did I swap hardware, I also swapped distributions. Yes, I tried Fedora, and with my hardware running Fedora, I had the same problem with the NVIDIA display card. I then realized it was some Linux problem and not a CentOS problem. Even if using a Fedoral kernel would work for me, I think this would disconnect me from automatic kernel updates via YUM. I got a brand new Voodoo Banshee card off a local auction for less than $10.00. For that kind of money, I would rather not mix and match from different distributions.

Comming from WhiteBox Linux ...
by Petr Klima 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

Hello several months ago I install WhiteBox Linux on several severs, I was happy, not woriing about upgrading every 1,5 year as when I use RH 4.0, 6.0, 7.3, 9.0 .... And then WhiteBox went black, WBEL updates release slowed down and maintainer wont help form anybody. Just telling "If you want quick updates, build it yourself.". I prefer wasting time for customizations and/or improvements instead of things which can be done once and then shared in comunity. So, I try to change may servers from WhiteBox to CentOS. I get a lot of help form Milan Kerslager which shifted form WBEL to Tao. I just wonder if there are any known issues. On my test server I only install "centos-release" and removed "whitebox-release" and did "yum update" from CentOS repositories. It just works. The question is if I need those : centos-yumcache centos-yumconf especialy centos-yumconf because it contains same cfg file as yum

Re: NVIDIA on Linux

Hello scty library, I had huge problems with NVIDIA cards on Linux. The screen would go blank as soon as X tried to load. I only tried using the driver that came with CentOS. After lots of parts swapping, I found that the monitor (obviously) and (even) the motherboard make a difference. > If so what did you do about it. Finally, I gave up on NVIDIA cards -- I got a Voodoo Banshee card and things have been easy since.

Nvidia Drivers
by scty Library 16 Jun '04

When I load the latest driver from Nvidia in CentOS-3 the logon screen turn light gray and I can't log in. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do about it. If I use the driver that comes with CentOS I don't have any problems. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Upgrading fom Fedora Core 1 to Centos - Reiserfs?
by Tim O'Callaghan 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Hi, I want to 'upgrade' from fedora core 1 to centos 3.1, but all of my partitions are reiserfs. The anaconda installer does not give the option to use reiserfs in the disk partitioning portion, is there any way to change this? or should i use a different method to upgrade? Tim.

Yum update fails with GPG key
by jack＠leadershipbynumbers.com 15 Jun '04

15 Jun '04

I'm getting ready to upgrade to Centos-3.1, but I have a database application that is having difficulty. It needs the libstdc++ libraries. When I run it, it generates the following message: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Well, this error doesn't look so bad, as long as I can run Yum on it and get the libraries. Unfortunately, the Yum install fails with a bad GPG key. I've done this Yum install on Centos-2 (for the same library), so I'm not sure why I'm seeing a failure. Here's what I see when I run Yum (I added the -t hoping to ignore the error): [root@linux root]# yum -t install compat-libstdc++ Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3.1 - Addons Server: CentOS-3.1 - Base Server: CentOS-3.1 - Extras Server: CentOS-3.1 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [install: compat-libstdc++ 7.3-2.96.128.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Getting compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96 100% |=========================| 1.0 MB 00:23 warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b Error: Could not find the GPG Key necessary to validate pkg /var/cache/yum/update/packages/compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm Error: You may want to run yum clean or remove the file: /var/cache/yum/update/packages/compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm Error: You may also check that you have the correct GPG keys installed If you have any ideas how to get the libraries, that would be a big help to finishing this move.
