similar to: yum vs. Alert Notification Tool

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

Anyone been able to get pgadmin3 installed on CentOS-4 ? The WxGTK2 stuff makes it impossible for me to get installed from RPM/SRPM from their site and likewise, couldn't rebuild from Fedora SRPMS either. I figure between Jim and Owen and ???, somebody might have succeeded where I would be doomed. I can get around with phppgadmin but pgadmin3 is pretty cool. Thanks Craig

If I have a local rpm file, what is the difference between running "rpm -i" and "yum localinstall"? When I do "rpm -i", I can still see the info via "yum info", so is there a difference? -- Bowie

Hi there -- i am just looking for clarification on the yum "group install" option.... How can you tell what are valid groups? IE I found the below example on google: yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" I have heard references to doing things like: yum groupinstall "Development Tools" But to the point - is there a list of valid groups for install? ----------

I have been using 32-bit CentOS since the 4.X days without a real need for 64-bit, but in preparation for CentOS 7, I have installed 64-bit CentOS 6 on a test system to qualify all our builds. However, in order to build some of our current 32-bit applications, I had to install some i686 packages, including glib. Now when I try to do a "yum update" on this test system, I get the dreaded

I keep a local copy of the yum repository using rsync every night. Commands like "yum update" still work, but lately I've been getting the following error: # yum grouplist Setting up Group Process Setting up repositories Error: Caching enabled and local cache: //var/cache/yum/base/ yumgroups.xml does not match checksum My nightly rsync cron job doesn't update

I am in the process of updating a dozen or so workstations from CentOS 4.3 to CentOS 4.4. I set up a local YUM repository, and have been able to successfully update all systems except for one. Both yum and rpm either hang or core dump on this system. I've done a "yum clean all" and an "rpm --rebuilddb" (after deleting the __db files). I was able to

Hi All, tried to install the RPM for bittorrent, and got the following, [root at localhost bittorrent]# rpm -Uvh BitTorrent-4.2.2-1-Python2.3.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: python(abi) = 2.3 is needed by BitTorrent-4.2.2-1.noarch [root at localhost bittorrent]# python -V Python 2.3.4 why is this so, when I have 2.3.4. Is this RPM only compatible with 2.3, not 2.3.1-4? Little confused.

Hi all, I plan to upgrade some servers running good old RH7.2/7.3. Some of these machines' got UPS an I use nut to monitor them. I was very surprised to see that nut isn't included in RHEL 4.x (quite weird for an enterprise class distro). Is there any program I may use as a replacement for nut ? Or do I have to compile it by myself (I saw a nut SRPM was available for Fedora Core 4 so I

You get so used to yum upgrades going so smoothly but I learned the hard way to always make a thorough inspection after a yum update. I let yum go ahead and upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6. Afterwards I made some basic queries to httpd, postfix and bind named (probably a cached query). I even checked the /var/named/ directory and saw all my hosts files. So looked like another smooth ride, well until

I was doing a "yum -y update" on a CentOS 4.5 system to get to 4.6 when my system froze. I couldn't ping it nor switch to an alternate console. It was completely frozen. The only recourse was to cycle the power. So I did that, and now when I try to do a "yum update" I get the following error: [many package header downloads deleted] tkinter-2.3.4-14.4.el4_6.

I have a stock CentOS 5 system as far as email (sendmail) is concerned that is on our corporate LAN. I am not trying to set up a mail server; I merely want our CentOS systems to be able to send out emails. This works as long as the recipient's domain is our local domain. Any email send to recipients that are not in our local domain get stuck in the queue: # mailq

I know this mostly depends on what is/will be done upstream, but with the recent announcement that Firefox 1.5.X will only receive updates until April 24, 2007, is Firefox 2.X in CentOS' future? Alfred

I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install. However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP
