redhat did apply the opendesktop patch to build the iso8859-1 fonts, but then they forgot to rebuild the fonts-xorg package to pick them up. they have done some magic with how that happens such that you have to build the full xorg-x11 with a special %define set, and then go rpm2cpio stuff and tar that and blah blah blah. i am trying to work through this and i have whined at redhat again. and

i (and others) have missed messages on centos-devel as well. did other people not see the 4.7 announcement message? i'm wondering if the centos list server is having some kind of issue.

after this latest centos 5 kernel update, i am seeing 40 second delays on automount points. nothing in the rpm changelog looks obviously related to autofs and the autofs module seems to be the same as the previous kernel. i'm starting to do some strace'ing and other debugging, but nothing has jumped out at me yet. i'm hoping someone else has seen it so i know i'm not alone

while in firefox if i use arrow keys in text fields, it acts very oddly. starting at the beginning of the line it works fine for a few characters and then jumps to the end of the line. backarrow jumps backwards from the end of line to within a few chars of the beginning. anyone else seeing this?

If it wouldn't be too much trouble ... when a kernel security update notice is posted to the announcements list, would it be possible to indicate whether the centosplus kernel is also susceptible to the security issue being patched? I'm running the plus kernel now, and find myself wondering whether I will ever need to back off to the base kernel because of security issues. Or is it

Hello, how can install my CentOS 4.3 under Reiserfs from install? (clean install) I have to download the kernel from centosplus and integrate to my dvd and mofidy some things on anaconda or something? I hace already googled about this but some answers are too crazy than I'm get scared! I was thinking something like this: Format my S-ATA with other distro who support Resiserfs and when

i see one available in the repos, but i don't recall seeing any announcement about it. from googling, it does seem to be real, but still a bit disconcerting to not have an announcement about it.

sorry i figured this out after deleting the other parts of the thread. just run vino-preferences as the user who runs the main x display. it will have various options to enable and as soon as you do that you can get to hostname:0 via vnc. works quite well.

i've downloaded the new 2.6.9-34 kernel src rpm and keep getting signature issues or md5 issues if i tell rpm to ignore signatures. it seems that maybe the master copy is corrupted?

the rsync in centos 4 (a recompile of rhel4) is version 2.6.3. and under certain circumstances it will segfault when run in daemon mode. i have tracked it down to the nss code in libc. so this could be a general libc bug, but it is possible that rsync is doing things that don't help matters any. the problem manifests when you have chroot mode on (which seems to be the default), have

I looked in the release notes, but maybe I missed it. Is it not possible to build a kernel from CentOS 4.3 (using 2.6.9-34.0.1) with HIGHMEM support turned off? This is for a machine with 512mb. When I try to build the kernel, I get _etext undefined symbol on line 100 of pageattr.c in arch/i386/mm. Linus

Just popped back on the list because I was curious about this. I've read the information about virtualization and other new features. I'm just wondering (as someone who installed CentOS 2 years ago and basically hasn't thought much about it my OS other than using it since then) if any piece of it except for virtualization got updated significantly enough to consider an upgrade. My

I would like to express my appreciation to the maintainers of the CentOS distribution for the degree of thoroughness evidenced in the set up of the test repository at http://dev.centos.org. I was casting around for how to configure my yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to handle a few packages that I must obtain from the test area (firefox, which seems to have moved since yesterday, and postgresql). I

OK. Trying to build libtiff here. Info from http://www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/spandsp.html Libtiff from tar: ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff 3.8.2 put tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz in /root then tar -zxvf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz followed by: /configure make clean make But the make had the following error: ./libtool: line 837: g++: command not found make[2]: *** [tif_stream.lo] Error 1

I would like to take the time to inform people that CentOS-4.4 will contain some major changes. The changes are significant enough that I would like to spell out some of them now, probably at least a month before the release of the upstream "EL4 update 4" is released. The Mozilla Suite (Browser, Mail, Chat clients) will be replaced by SeaMonkey. This is due to Mozilla's change in

Does Centos 4.2 have the grub issue where the boot loader does not get installed onto both hard disks in a software Raid 1 environment? if so does 4.3 solve that issue? -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the

I read this list often, and although I'm not smart enough to contribute, I learn a lot every day. But I read a post from this morning that contained this: >a fair amount of jiggery-pokery Just wondering...is this a technical term? Where is it documented? I won't offer any insight into what vision it gave me. ;-) Thanks for all the work on the distribution and all the invaluable

Hi, I literally have about 36 machines running CentOS on a private network, and will probably change the remaining 30 or so away from Whitebox or RH in the near term. One thing I just noticed was when I tried to search out Tripwire RPM's, that none seemed evident. Can anyone point me in the direction of an Tripwire RPM that works with CentOS 4.3, or advise me on how to create one from the
