New rpm, same name, how to update
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have to build my own rpms for the HIPL project. I update my copy of the code and make rpm. Thing is the rpm name never changes from patch to patch. Is there a way to have yum apply the new code as an update and not have to erase then install?

Red Hat réagit à la crise économique
by Niki Kovacs 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

L'entreprise Red Hat réagit à la crise... en supprimant une énorme fête d'entreprise. Au lieu de cela, ils ont décidé de donner l'argent à l'équivalent américain des Restos du Coeur, soit quelque 800.000 repas: http://www.newsobserver.com/business/story/1314667.html J'ai toujours eu un faible pour Red Hat, mais là, je les apprécie carrément. Comme quoi l'esprit de partage ne s'arrête pas au code source. Nico

how to disable slow repository mirror?
by Tony Schreiner 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Using the yum-fastestmirror plugin on CentOS 5. The mirror that gets selected seems to be always the same one, and the particular one for my EPEL channel is slow as sin (often 30 kB/sec or less). Ctrl-C moves to the next one which is satisfactory, but it's a pain to have to do that every time. Is there a way to prevent a particular mirror from being selected? I can remove the entry from /var/cache/yum/epel/mirrorlist.txt, but it will come back at some point with a refresh. Also, since the mirror is slow, why does it keep getting chosen, for all my machines? Cheers, Tony Schreiner Boston College

Mirroring Hard Drive
by Matt 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have a 500GB Sata drive about 15% used I would like to make an exact copy of too another Sata 500GB drive as a spare. That way if something happens to the one in service I can plug in the spare quickly and restore one of the weekly backups without reinstalling the entire OS and all the little tweaks of setup on this mail/web server. How do I do this? That is make an exact bootable copy of a linux drive. Its running Centos 4.6 if that matters. Matt

Missing grub functionality on CentOS 5
by Kai Schaetzl 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub? I tried with savedefault and it does not create a /boot/grub/default as it should. So I have to assume that fallback isn't there either. The CentOS 5 grub is the same as the CentOS 4 grub and I would assume that it's the latest "legacy" grub, so it should include all that. Anyone knows why it doesn't? Anyone knows if it includes savedefault and fallback functionality? If so, how to make use of it? I downloaded the source and built (but not installed) it, that includes a grub-set-default file. I created a default file with it, but it's still not getting used by savedefault. So I must assume the functionality is not built in the CentOS grub.

Strange error on login: $HOME/.dmrc?
by Niki Kovacs 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi, Since this morning, when I login, GDM gives me an error message on login (it's in french, so I try to translate roughly): $HOME/.dmrc has been ignored, but it is responsible for saving sessions. It should not be writable for other users, and permissions should be 644. Now I had a look at this ~/.dmrc, and permissions were rw-------. So I did a chmod 644 on it (rw-r--r--) and logged back out... but the problem still persists. I'm puzzled. Any suggestions? Cheers, Niki
