similar to: quick question on yum

Hi all. I have a simple question: CentOS relies mostly on "yum" to keep systems up to date, although I understand that like on RHEL, "up2date" is also available. On my system I've run both KDE and GNOME as Graphical Desktops under X (though I presently run GNOME), and I've noticed that there is an applet called "CentOS Network Alert Icon" (from the

Hello, I have this cheap network card which insists on me compiling its own sundance.ko module every time I update my kernel release. I had the poor idea to leave nightly yum service enabled on this remote server, only to find my network was gone at the following reboot. Had to go there, figure out that kernel stuff is carefully avoided by up2date, but not so by yum service, and rebuild. Compiling

I just installed CentOS 4.4 on my laptop, having good experience with Debian, Fedora Core 5, and RHEL4. I really like 4.4's overall appearance (meshing of RHEL4 and FC5), but what I have yet to figure out is how to access repositories for applications that are not part of the default install, such as ncftp. I invoked and updated yum, but it had no idea. I would also like to see what

Hi, I have already installed 4.2 on my laptop, I only chose GNOME at install time. I now need to use up2date to install kde (I wish to install twinkle softphone). What is the correct way to do that. I did: up2date kde* up2date -u kde* up2date -i kde* It printed a listing of the packages but did not install them. Thanks, Jerry

What is the correct command using up2date and yum to install the kernel source package. Thanks, jerry

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

I tried to do a "yum install bind" and it said no packages found I then tried up2date bind and it installed bind for me. Is yum not completely setup correctly? Just thought th yum install bind would have worked also. I am using centos 4.3 x86_64. DNS was not selected as package to install when my system was built. Jerry

Is there a special command or anything to get a "make" process take advantage of SMP with the AMD x2. I mean when I type make is it dispatching 2 compiles at a time? How do know it is or how do I tell it to take full advantage of the DUAL processor. Thanks, jerry

Hi List; I am facing a problem relaed to menuselect when I am trying to compile zaptel -1.4.2.1, the error as following: [root at localhost zaptel-1.4.2.1]# make linux26 make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/asterisk-1.4.4/zaptel-1.4.2.1/menuselect' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/asterisk-1.4.4/zaptel-1.4.2.1/menuselect' make[3]: Entering directory

If so, how do you configure the up2date client that comes with CentOS to look at the local yum mirror? Conversely, how do you disable the CentOS Network Alert Notification Tool so that users won't see the "throbbing red circle" and be tempted to launch the up2date client? Thanks, Alfred

I have a TDM2402E card. Occasionally I have noticed that a number I call that gives and IVR the DTMF keys are not detected.

I have 2 new servers built from 4.3 isos. I want to update them but cannot do that because of update issues: Up2date fails because of a several dependency issues. yum update fails because of a problem with the au mirrors. yum can find the mirrors but not the headers. Cheers

Where can I get lilo for centos 4.2? I did "up2date lilo*" and nothing was retrieved.

Hi List; Sorry for the OT post. However I suspect if anyone outside of RH can help with this question it would be this list. I'm starting a new contract with a shop that knows little about Linux and I'm helping pave the way. I've "inherited" an existing Linux install (RHEL4). I want to setup some tools but I find that yum is not installed. Is this normal for a RH box ? I

Morning... I have a package that I think wants to compile against the X11 source tree. http://openchrome.org - its a snapshot from there.... Anyway the command it tells me to run is: xmkmf /usr/src/xc make make install This is to build a updated X graphics driver... However when I do this I get errors as there is not /usr/src/xc (no surprise) I did then "up2date xorg-x11-sdk"

Hi all, we have installed a fresh CentOS 3.3 system, imported the keys: rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY* trying to install a package fails: up2date -i mysql mysql-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm: ########################## Done.

For guests registered with Red Hat Network, this patch allows for the conversion process to use RHN to download appropriate kernel package and its dependencies. We use yum on RHEL-5, up2date libraries on RHEL-4. We install matching kernel version whenever possible, latest available kernel version otherwise. _discover_kernel routine has been extended to return version-release of the default

Hello guys, I would like to configure my puppet to use "yum" instead "up2date" (default RHEL4).

Hi this is technically a RHEL4 question but i hope it can be answered here... Does RHEL4 do yum OK ? I kix a lot of boxes and it would be great to run the update after the build automajically rather than running through the up2date registration and using that method. I would also rather not pay lots for satellite server. If i setup my own RHEL repo can i use yum against this? Or any other
