New kernel released for testing
by lance＠uklinux.net 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

There is a new updated kernel for centos 3.1 that fixes a security issue. As I have not had time to test this build I am releasing it for testing for 24 hours to pick up any problems before general release. It is available at :- http://caos2.caosity.org:/centos/3.1/updates/i386/RPMS/ The version is 2.4.21-15.0.2.el.c0 Please install and test these packages, they are as yet unsigned and not available via yum.

still more about: Yum update fails with GPG key

Hey, > That wouldn't be bad if the site wasn't a navigation nightmare. I am > usually pretty good at finding stuff, but our site needs help :) I made a change to the web site that may help -- I added a "Got a problem?" item under Help. The page has hints that would have helped find information on the GPG problem. Check out the new page if you like. Any suggestions for further improvements? Thanks, Rick Graves

There are a couple of bugs in Bugzilla about this. One that I posted (#622) describes the problem and Russ's response gives the solution. Searching for GPG in Bugzilla finds the bugs, including the one with the solution. --- centos-request(a)caosity.org wrote: > Send CentOS mailing list submissions to > centos(a)caosity.org >

Nvidia Driver and CentOS-3
by scty Library 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

Ok, Well I have narrowed it down to my mother board. It is a Biostar mother board with an NForce2 chipset. I have the Nvidia driver working on my home machine which is and Asus board with an NForce chipset running CentOS-3 and the Nvidia driver works fine. It has to be the NForce2 Chipset that is no good. I have tried updateing bios, Kernel and Xfree. There is just something with this NForce2 Chipset. Well that all the info I have right now.

Actually, while troubleshooting this display problem, not only did I swap hardware, I also swapped distributions. Yes, I tried Fedora, and with my hardware running Fedora, I had the same problem with the NVIDIA display card. I then realized it was some Linux problem and not a CentOS problem. Even if using a Fedoral kernel would work for me, I think this would disconnect me from automatic kernel updates via YUM. I got a brand new Voodoo Banshee card off a local auction for less than $10.00. For that kind of money, I would rather not mix and match from different distributions.

Comming from WhiteBox Linux ...
by Petr Klima 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

Hello several months ago I install WhiteBox Linux on several severs, I was happy, not woriing about upgrading every 1,5 year as when I use RH 4.0, 6.0, 7.3, 9.0 .... And then WhiteBox went black, WBEL updates release slowed down and maintainer wont help form anybody. Just telling "If you want quick updates, build it yourself.". I prefer wasting time for customizations and/or improvements instead of things which can be done once and then shared in comunity. So, I try to change may servers from WhiteBox to CentOS. I get a lot of help form Milan Kerslager which shifted form WBEL to Tao. I just wonder if there are any known issues. On my test server I only install "centos-release" and removed "whitebox-release" and did "yum update" from CentOS repositories. It just works. The question is if I need those : centos-yumcache centos-yumconf especialy centos-yumconf because it contains same cfg file as yum

Re: NVIDIA on Linux

Hello scty library, I had huge problems with NVIDIA cards on Linux. The screen would go blank as soon as X tried to load. I only tried using the driver that came with CentOS. After lots of parts swapping, I found that the monitor (obviously) and (even) the motherboard make a difference. > If so what did you do about it. Finally, I gave up on NVIDIA cards -- I got a Voodoo Banshee card and things have been easy since.

Nvidia Drivers
by scty Library 16 Jun '04

When I load the latest driver from Nvidia in CentOS-3 the logon screen turn light gray and I can't log in. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do about it. If I use the driver that comes with CentOS I don't have any problems. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Upgrading fom Fedora Core 1 to Centos - Reiserfs?
by Tim O'Callaghan 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Hi, I want to 'upgrade' from fedora core 1 to centos 3.1, but all of my partitions are reiserfs. The anaconda installer does not give the option to use reiserfs in the disk partitioning portion, is there any way to change this? or should i use a different method to upgrade? Tim.
