On the subject of kernel updates: I had my install kernel (2.6.18-8.el5xen) and 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen on the box. I was unable to originally boot the update (8.1.8xen) because of the 3ware driver issues (I needed to use a driver floppy at install time). I jumped through some hoops (which I am struggling to understand) with weak-updates to get the 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel to see my raid devices, which

I'm getting the following dependency problem. Please advise how to resolve. Running 5.5 with latest kernel and all updates.

Hello: The box is dual boot (Win XP & CentOS 5). A Dell Dimension 4300 Celeron. There was an intermittent problem with this last year and last Thanksgiving, I wiped the HD and installed Win XP and CentOS 5 clean. My daughter asked me to install KStars which is in the kdeedu RPM on the Fedora Core 6 Install DVD. I did that, without any problems, on my box and on my wife's box. On the

Just upgraded to 5.4 yesterday morning. (Kudos to those who did that!) That's probably irrelevant to this problem: "yum install mplayer" fails.

Hi list, I have the following entries, below, in today's log file (for yesterday, 10th May). I don't run the automated yum-updated and didn't run a yum update yesterday, and no packages were installed. Obviously the entries are old. I was wondering if anyone could offer an explanation? Thanks, Ned --------------------- yum Begin ------------------------ Packages

Hi, I am running Centos 4 (fully updated on this box). I removed the old DVD writer (/dev/hdc) and installed a new LG GH20 "Internal Super Multi DVD Rewriter" with a SATA interface - this shows up as /dev/scd0. When I insert a pre-recorded DVD autorun mounts it and displays the contents without any hassles. It appears to me that the required kernel modules are loaded - as copied

Hi e, I am normally use gnome and would do the following to make my CD / DVD mount with exec gnome-mount --write-settings --device /dev/sdc0 -o exec What is the equivalent in KDE ? My initial research suggests that I actually have to write a custom udev rule to achieve this. This has led me as far as running udevinfo -q path -n /dev/scd0 udevtest /block/sr0 (the output is below) My

I performed the update yesterday that included installing kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL and replacing ethereal with wireshark. First, the trivial... Wireshark would not run from the KDE menu without editing the menu to change the command from "wireshark" to "kdesu wireshark" because dumpcap is at usr/sbin/dumpcap instead of /usr/bin/dumpcap . Making the change causes wireshark to

There was a discussion here several days ago that was precipitated by my decision to manually install the new kernel before YUMming the upgrade to CentOS 4.2. The upgrade went south but I recovered by doing a fresh install and a bunch of copying from backups. All's well EXCEPT that I'm back in the same "box", thanks to anaconda. I set out to upgrade kernels this morning:

hi, I was following this wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Ha-Drbd for my CentOS 5 installation, but it appears that the kmod-drdb is not for the newest kernel. Would anyone know how long before this is updated? kmod-drbd i686 8.0.6-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5 extras kernel i686 2.6.18-8.el5 installed

I just updated to the most recent version of yum. I noticed that my yum.conf file had changed. The old one has: installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-devel kernel-smp-devel kernel-largesmp kernel-largesmp-devel kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-devel The new one does not have this option listed. I don't remember if that was a default setting or if I added it in. Do I need that line to be

I recently upgraded from samba 3.0.10-1.fc3 to 3.0.21b-2 running on FC5. Today was the first day of a typing class which uses the network version of Mavis Beacon Typing which depends on file sharing.
