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:
1. "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

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.

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. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 ------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I use the one from rpmforge. Other folks reported the need to un/reinstall to get it to work right. I saw these before I upgraded, did it and all is good. Be aware: the *97*beta driver is for a later model nvidia and won't work on the *96* series. You'll probably want to use the nvidia-x11-drv-96xx-1.0.9631-1.nodist.rf.i386 from rpmforge if your card is fairly old.> <snip sig stuff>HTH -- Bill
