RE: [CentOS] App add/delete and changing from CD install to LAN
by Bassett, Mark 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

-----Original Message----- Well, I KNOW that I updated system z9m9z with yum update, then came back and added BIND (which I left off in the initial install). But it DID fail on system Port3890 when trying to add Thunderbird and a few other odds and ends. I did just install Thunderbird with: yum install thunderbird I will have to figure out what else I had decided add and do that via yum. --------------------------- If you run yum upgrade you should correct any updates that previously were not done properly. First, run yum update to get the most recent repository information, then run yum upgrade.

Has anyone here benchmarked 64-bit 4.2 against a dual core opteron (or Athlon 64x2) vs a pair of physical single-core opterons? It's that time of year again....ordering new workstations. 8-) Cheers,

App add/delete and changing from CD install to LAN
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

I just added a couple apps to a server and I was asked to insert CD #3. I had wanted to use HTTP to access the distro on my HTTP server. Now I want to install on another server, so I have a second chance to get this right....

logwatch patch
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Don't remember if I already wrote about this. But ran into it tonibhg again. Logwatch as distributed with CentOS expects yum log files in different format. As result, logwatch will not report anything. The patch is really simple (and attached). Hopefully it'll be part of 4.3 (if not sooner). The upstream is not likely to patch it, since they don't distribute yum at all. Maybe upstream's upstream, but than we'd have to wait for upstream to have reason to uply upstream's upstream change ;-) I guess it's kind of bordercase. But since it applies to something where upstream and CentOS are different anyhow, maybe it is OK to introduce this change.

Compiling kernel-2.6.13...
by Jose Alburquerque 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Hi. I'm trying to use CentOS4.2 for some audio work (ie. sound editing, etc.). I found a site called PlanetCCRMA (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/) and decided that I would give some of their applications a try (hoping that it would not affect my system greatly!). At first I tried the Fedora 3 packages (and they do work), but what I really wanted to do is to download the source packages and rebuild them for my system. I was able to successfully build their custom kernel-2.6.10-2.1.ll for my system but they have one available (kernel-2.6.13) that would run my system a little more efficiently (which I need because my system is a Pentium III and I just can't afford a new system just yet). Any how, I tried to compile the source rpm only to encounter an error to the effect of: ./include/linux/kernel.h:10:20: stdarg.h: No such file or directory Is there something wrong that I can't compile this kernel? P.S. I've also tried compiling other kernel versions that they have such as 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 (with exactly the same error message). I "googled" the problem and found that it might have to do with gcc (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=1732038) Can anyone help me compiling new kernel? I've posted full error message below. Thanks!

Is there a location for centos 4.2 that has a current kernel compiled and ready to just install for the 2.6.14.X kernel? I am wondering if a current kernel helps with my slowww compaq r4000 amd64 machine. Thanks, Jerry

OT: Evolution folder location
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

I have used Eudora since v 1.35 (circa '93). For quite some time, I have enjoyed keeping each of my mail accounts' folders in totally separate directory trees. In Eudora you do this by specifying the data locatoin as part of the startup: '<program location>/eudora.exe <data location>' So I am quite spoiled. But there is no Eudora support in Linux/CentOS. So where are Evolution folders kept? And Can I do something to have each account in a separate directory structure. Oh, some more about Eudora, since perhaps v4: If you run multiple personalities in a copy of Eudora, all that mail is in a single directory structure, though you CAN have filters to drop mail into different folders. To have multple directory structures, you run multiple copies of Eudora.

I am continually getting the subscription alert panel popping up??? I leave the selection on the default which is to activate and say OK. It asks me for the root password - I enter it. It keeps coming back... I have network connectivity for the laptop. Any ideas? I saw nothing in /var/log/messages. Thanks, Jerry
