CentOS-4/beta/preview version immediate availability
by Pasi Pirhonen 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Hi, I've had this like since last saturday or something. I don't seem to be getting it to beta.centos.org tho, so i'll just make it public thru the channels i control. ftp://centos.upi.iki.fi/pub/centos/4.2beta/isos/sparc/ There is ISOs and .torrents Know yourself out and try it out please. If you have something less than Ultra Sparc, you're out of luck with this as it's only targetted for Ultra Sparcs (ie. 64bit hardware). I've tested the installation to - U10 - U30 - Netra T1405 (quad) - Netra/X1 U30/UPA graphical installation didn't start, but it's something to be fixed before actual release. I'll post hte updates on tree that yum should use by default when i do have that tree (as in place to push updates). It's not even near perfect, but it's a start. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/

CentOS 3.5 to 3.6 yum dependency issues
by Timothy 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

When I do a yum update I get a couple of dependency issues: I see this one on every box I try to upgrade.. Package nptl-devel needs glibc-devel = 2.3.2-95.33, this is not available. I've only seen this one a couple of times.. Package up2date needs rpm >= 4.2.3-24_nonptl, this is not available. Tim

Yum Dependency errors
by Jay 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Greetings, This is a new install on CentOs 4.1 dvd from a couple weeks ago. The initial yum updates worked fine but now There are about 15 things that get dependency errors and yum will not install the updates. Rebuild the RPM database, removed /var/cache/yum/* , yum update yum for the latest version and the errors still exist. When you query the rpm database the dependency are installed. Here are some examples: # yum install gtkhtml3 Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package gtkhtml3.x86_64 0:3.3.2-6.EL set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: gtkhtml3 = 3.3.2-3 for package: gtkhtml3-devel --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: gtkhtml3 = 3.3.2-3 is needed by package gtkhtml3-devel # rpm -q -a | grep gtkhtm gtkhtml2-devel-2.6.2-1 gtkhtml2-2.6.2-1 gtkhtml2-2.6.2-1 gtkhtml3-3.3.2-3 gtkhtml3-devel-3.3.2-3 gtkhtml3-devel-3.3.2-6.EL Error: Missing Dependency: gcc4 = 4.0.0-0.14.EL4 is needed by package gcc4-c++ Error: Missing Dependency: gcc4 = 4.0.0-0.14.EL4 is needed by package gcc4-gfortran ------------------------------------------------------------ rpm -q -a | grep gcc4 gcc4-gfortran-4.0.1-4.EL4.2 gcc4-c++-4.0.0-0.14.EL4 gcc4-gfortran-4.0.0-0.14.EL4 gcc4-c++-4.0.1-4.EL4.2 gcc4-4.0.0-0.14.EL4 Thanks -Jay

Can not get remote X connections to work on CentOS 4.1
by Alfred von Campe 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

I've encountered a strange problem in CentOS 4.1. I've never had this problem before, and I've been using X Windows since 1990, but I can't get remote X connections to work: $ hostname host00 $ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 $ xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host $ rsh host01 $ xdpyinfo -d host00:0.0 xdpyinfo: unable to open display "host00:0.0" Both hosts are running CentOS 4.1 and SELinux is disabled. I know I can get this to wok with ssh, but that is not the point. Also, it's not a host name resolution problem, as substituting the IP address in the above command gives the same error. Finally, note that there is about a 3-4 second delay before the error message appears. Any recent changes in X that I am unaware of? Alfred

Upgrade=Broken x86_64
by Sam Drinkard 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

I just completed the upgrade of everything, and after a reboot, I have got some broken software. I am getting error messages from the NCAR command language that "Specified Workstation is NOT Open. In addition, a system call to opngks_() could not open "wrf_mass_plots.ncgm" which is the file it needs to read to produce the metafile. What changed that would cause software to think the workstation is not open? Next question.. is it possible to undo the upgrade, or would I be better off doing a clean install of system files should this breakage not be repairable with simplicity? Sam
