Clarification
by Sam Drinkard 08 Oct '05

List, Being pretty new to CentOS and such, can someone answer a couple of questions about yum and up2date? I think I got the basic info, but I'm a bit confused about what does what. I configured yum to use the dag repo (I think) but now and then, I get the red circle from up2date stuff on the upper menubar. I have been using the up2date function to grab the latest bits when indicated something is available. I don't have yum running nightly as a cron job either. Now, what is the difference in using the up2date vs. yum? Should I be using yum exclusively to do updates, and if so, how does it know there are updates available? Are the files coming from the RH update site the same as would be avaliable via yum? Sorry if this is a newbie question, but while the machine is down waiting on the new mobo, I figured I could do a little brushing up on things I don't fully understand. Thanks.. -- Snowman

cyclades driver on centos 4.1
by Jerry Geis 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I have a 5 year old machine that had a working cyclades8ys (8 port ISA rs232) card. I installed centos 4.1 on the box. I installed the kernel source and rebuilt the the kernel, did menuconfig and seelcted the cyclades module. Did the modprode cyclades and got some driver information echoed to the screen but it did not detect the card. Does udev have anything to do with this? Does any one have an old ISA cyclades card working on centos 4.1? Can you share how? Thanks, jerry

2 httpd configs
by Craig White 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I normally don't do this - haven't got any traction on taroon list and I want to get a backup going. I have an RHEL 3 server and it is serving some simple web stuff (horde/imp/etc.) I have installed BrightStor ArcServe and I need it to also serve some web pages. The ArcServe runs on a different port but has it's own httpd.conf with the distribution. The last time I did it, it was the only web pages I needed to serve on the system so it was easy enough to just replace the default /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf with the supplied httpd.conf from ArcServe This time, I can't do that so I guess that I want to run another instance of httpd, with the alternate httpd.conf file which I can do by copying /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd and altering the copy to use the ArcServe config file. Is this the right way to handle this? Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

intel dual core processors and new kernel packages
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I've just got bunch of RHEL4 erratas (looks like U2 is out). Looking at the kernel errata (kernel-2.6.9-22.EL), one of the things in list of new features is "Intel dual core support". What does this exactly means? Does it mean if I have dual core pentium processor and use older kernel that it will use only one core, and I need newer kernel to use both cores? Or is it only something cosmetical (like updated output for /proc/cpuinfo)? Looking at the bug 167412, it looks more like the later. Anybody outthere running Pentium D or Pentium extreme with 2.6.9-11.EL? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

KDE-3.5 beta1
by Mark Weaver 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has attempted to compile the tarballs for kde 3.5 beta 1 yet. I started mucking about with them on my CentOS 4.1 box, but none of them want to compile. They'll configure ok, but when I run the make command I just get a lot of errors. what I'd like to do is compile and install them in /opt so that I could run this version to test it without distrupting my current installation of KDE. (kde 3.4) which leads me to another question... which package to compile and install first? kde-base? -- Mark ----------------------------------------------------------- Paid for by Penguins against modern appliances(R) Linux User Since 1996 Powered by RHEL 4

dependency conflict on vixie-cron update
by bryan davis 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

I'm having a problem with the new vixie-cron rpm for CentOS 4.1 when updating via yum. It complains with the message: Error: Missing Dependency: pam >= 0.77-66.8 is needed by package vixie-cron I got this error from calling 'yum update' on a clean install from the 4.1 isos. This version of pam is available in the 4.2 beta repository, but not the 4.1 repository. Did something from 4.2 sneak into the 4.1 updates?

shadow-utils problem
by Matt Lawrence 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

In an effort to discover some of the details in /etc/shadow, I have downloaded and rebuilt the SRPM. It seems to be missing a dependency of gcc-c++. After installing that, the build went fine. Also, does anyone have a pointer to detailed information about /etc/shadow? The man page is many years out of date and is now a bit incorrect.

It's kind of must have design feature where hercules does pass the floating point operations to host fp unit directly. It would slow down ten fold or more if it would not do so. This efectively means that for some packages the test phase fails under hercules even tho it's not failing on real iron. I've had access to real iron (not currently) and been able to verify that very same compilers + other parts makes testing work on real iron and fail under hercules. Resulting binaries still being good on oth platforms. Therefore i just have to trust that binaris are ok even tho the internal test procedures are failing. This is the case for s390 with mysql. s390x compiles + tests just fine. I start to make a note in these announcements if i have been forced to skip the package internal testing phase for being able to make binary RPMS. Something like there is below for s390. It's just in case somene should rely on this distribution on real iron as i am not able to verify/support this scenario. With hercules we're all in same wagon - if it's not working, it's fixable for us :) s390: (had to disable check/test) updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-bench-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-devel-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-server-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm s390x: updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-bench-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-devel-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-server-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/
