Centos 6 full backup software?
by Rafał Radecki 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi All ;) I need a good tool to backup whole system on block level rather than file level and easy to use. I currently need to backup to an USB disc (50+ GB of data) a system and then reinstall it. In the future if needed I will revert to the system from backup ;) What can you recommend? BR, Rafal.

yum grouplist \*office\* returns Installed Groups: Office Suite and Productivity But the *only* way to see what's in the group is yum groupinfo \*office\* With or without quotes around Office Suite and Productivity, it refuses to admit that any such thing's installed. mark

a kickstart question
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Not having much luck googling.... I'm working on our ks.cgi, and in the case that we're using gpt, I know that kickstart can't, natively, use gpt yet. However, it is my impression that clearpart --initlabel --none --drives=$DISK would wipe the GPT label. (Plus, googling, I find that initlabel is deprecated). Am I wrong about initlabel? And is there any point in using clearpart, if we've got got to use parted to put a gpt label on the drive, and partition it? Should I just make that line go away? mark

Trying to install amavisd-new in CentOS-7
by Timothy Murphy 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

When I try sudo yum install amavisd-new I get the message ------------------------- Error: Package: amavisd-new-2.9.1-1.el7.noarch (epel) Requires: perl(Unix::Syslog) Error: Package: amavisd-new-2.9.1-1.el7.noarch (epel) Requires: clamav-server Error: Package: amavisd-new-2.9.1-1.el7.noarch (epel) Requires: clamav-server-systemd Error: Package: amavisd-new-2.9.1-1.el7.noarch (epel) Requires: cabextract Error: Package: amavisd-new-2.9.1-1.el7.noarch (epel) Requires: perl(Convert::TNEF) ------------------------- As this says, there is no clamav-server rpm (or clamav or clamd) in epel's CentOS-7 repository. I mentioned this before, and was advised to write to "the epel mailing list". However, there doesn't appear to be any relevant epel list; there is an epel-developers list, but I am far from a developer. There is also a redhat bugzilla list, but will redhat be interested in a CentOS user? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

CentOS 7 and xfce
by Tom Bishop 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

I finally have got around to installing centos 7 and usually do a pretty minimal installation, I chose the virtualization host, since that will be the primary purpose. However I have hit a snag, I usually install xfce from epel and go along my way but there appears to be a bug in the xfce package: Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: desktop-backgrounds-basic You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest It has been reported and I assume it will be corrected at some point, but was wondering if anyone has xfce running on centos 7 or any other alternatives to kde/gnome3. Thanks.

el7: Thunderbird?
by Ned Slider 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Hi Folks, Just wondering what Thunderbird users are doing on el7 now it's been removed from the distro? I note EPEL has a thunderbird package but it seems very out of date at version 24.5.0. Version 24.6.0 was released 10 June, nearly 6 weeks ago, and fixed 3 critical security issues. Is this normal for EPEL to be so far behind on security updates? The other alternative seems to be running the tarball from Mozilla, but that is only available in 32-bit and I don't really want to install a whole bunch of 32-bit libs just to run one program. So what is everyone else using?

centos 7 yum dependency issue
by Tom Bishop 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

I had some packages that I needed to install and they have some issues, I installed via rpm and did some linking and got them working. However Yum still thinks that they are broken: ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: has missing requires of python(abi) = ('0', '2.6', None) Yum appears to install whatever I need but spits that out at the bottom, is there any way I can have it ignore this issue? I searched via google but most deal with resolving the issue, and I have but yum is unaware. Thanks.

CentOS to reside near a NTFS system
by wwp 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Hello there, the *old* PC (Turion 64 MT-32 800MHz, 1Gb RAM) of my gf is running Windows XP, and I plan on installing a CentOS beside of it, allowing her to select the OS at boot-time. Other system/OS installing options are not retained, please avoid ;-). My first attempt was to install the CentOS7 GNOME-Live on a USB flashdisk and to boot it on the machine. It was either freezing at grub stage (!?) or later at GDM login stage. I gave up. Then I installed the CentOS6 LiveCD on the USB flashdisk, and booted in on the machine. Works fine so far, but it cannot mount the Windows NTFS partition (unknown partition type - no NTFS driver in the Live system?) so I cannot either access the user data in the NTFS partition, nor shrink the NTFS partition in order to install the CentOS6 system on disk. So I'm wondering, if ever I boot from a pmagic live system and succeed in shrinking down the NTFS and make room for the CentOS6 install: - will the CentOS6 live system be able to install at all and allow dual boot so that it's conservative WRT the existing Windows system? - once installed, will the CentOS6 system be able to mount read-WRITE the NTFS partition (even if I have to install an alternative repository)? Read-only would be useless to us. - why not, is there a way I could get success with the CentOS7? If not, the CentOS6 is fine with me. Those are the pre-requisites for me to run CentOS6 on this - ah-hum - slow system and be happy with it. Any though? Regards, -- wwp
