Hi Guys!
Thanks to the whole Centos team for all their hard work. You have no IDEA how much I appreciate it!
I ran "yum upgrade" last night, rebooted this morning and encountered a couple of small problems:
- "shutdown -h now" goes all the way down but does not power down the
box like it always has before. Same when shutting down via the GUI shutdown dialog. I can offer up machine details should anyone want them. 2. Trying to recompile the official Cisco VPN client after the reboot and it fails with this info:
# make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.1.el5/build SUBDIRS=/home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-92.1.1.el5-i686' CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/linuxcniapi.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/frag.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/IPSecDrvOS_linux.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/interceptor.o CC [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/linuxkernelapi.o LD [M] /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/cisco-vpn-client/vpnclient/cisco_ipsec.o Building modules, stage 2.

this ".libdriver.so.cmd" looks like something that should be created on the fly.
I've built this same version for several previous Centos kernels, so this appears to be a new phenomenon.
Clues would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
And a third item for the list: After just rebooting a few times trying various tactics for solving the first problem above (without success, BTW) when I booted it last time the GUI desktop comes up with empty panels. The panels are there, there's just nothing visible on them. I can click on the panel in the spot where something ought to be, and it is there--the menus open,or whatever was supposed to happen, and they have visible text--it's just the panels that are blank.
I should note that I'm using "desktop effects" with an old nvidia card, in case that matters.
Well. actually, #3 was easy to solve: goto the desktop effects menu, click "enable desktop effects" and it DISables them. Strange. the panels now suddenly have text where they should. Click it again and it re-enables desktop effects and voila, the panels still have text where they should.
