yum repo with Nvidia driver RPMs?
by Florin Andrei 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Looks like there's no repo that carries the Nvidia drivers. I enabled all the big repos in /etc/yum.repos.d and did a "yum provides" and nothing showed up. Where do you get your Nvidia RPMs from? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Funny that IBM went one better and open sourced JFS instead. I'm in kind of the same boat as you since I was an OS/2 user before I switched to Linux. I think the HPFS information was from a discussion as to why IBM couldn't open source OS/2 as a means of continuing support. Remember, we're talking about the same Microsquish that has attempted to patent the FAT file system. I'd be very surprised if NTFS wasn't IP encumbered. Debian tends to be very paranoid as to technical features and stability but they don't have the financial exposure that Red Hat has when it comes to infringing IP. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Hi Friends, I downloaded the cvsnt 2.5.04.2047 version from achrives. I using Centos 4.4 and I am trying to install cvsnt through cvsnt.spec file. When I run the command rpmbuild --bb cvsnt.spec I get the below error at the end. I don't know the reason why the rpmbuilding is failing . What package or rpm do I need to install to fulfill this dependency or get rid of this error ? Processing files: cvsnt-debuginfo-2.5.04.2471-1 Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/cvsnt-root error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib/cvsnt/protocols/sync.la /usr/lib/cvsnt/protocols/sync.so RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib/cvsnt/protocols/sync.la /usr/lib/cvsnt/protocols/sync.so Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

It's all dependent on the circumstances. Mark: If you are running a non production box, give CentOS 5 a shot. I plan to do that, but having had a bad out of the box experience with FC6, I will be prepared to return to CentOS 4.4, rapidly, after installing CentOS 5. If you are running production machines, then it is *NOT* a good idea to be the first one on your block with a brand new OS. Best to be conservative and let others find the problems that will bite you in the rear. HTH, Lanny

Mark: From a terminal window, run system-config-services You will need to enter the root password. That will bring up the Service Configuration GUI. Or, from the Desktop (I use GNOME), you can get there by Applications > System Settings >Server Settings > Services (easier to do it via the terminal window), which will also bring up the Service Configuration GUI. Look at everything with a check mark in the box. If you click on those things, it will give you a very brief description of what it is. If you do not need it, uncheck the box and stop the service, and when you are done, save the new configuration. Installing on Desktops, I find that Red Hat has Server stuff running that I do not want or need and that would expose the box. HTH, Lanny

Reboot Issues
by James N. Smith 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hello Everyone, I've got Centos 4.4 installed and fully updated on an ASUS M2NBP-VM CSM Motherboard. When I issue a 'shutdown -r now' or an 'init 6' it goes through the shutdown sequence and then after the final message "rebooting system" it just sits there and has have it's reset switch manually pressed. When I issue a 'shutdown -h now' or a 'halt -p' it shuts down and powers down properly. My bet is that it's an ACPI issue but I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting it. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, James James N. Smith, MBA, MCSE Information Systems Manager / Network Engineer L.E. Schwartz & Son, Inc. jnsmith(a)leschwartz.com

nvidia drivers
by Jerry Geis 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Does the nvidia drivers (downloaded from nvidia) support or work with the new centos 5 (beta) ? The version of X windows is different I think. Jerry
