I am running a Xen installation on a Centos-4.4 based test box, my desktop unit, and I am having intermittent problems installing certain pieces of software. Some time back I posted to this list regarding my inability to install Adobe Acrobat on this unit and was advised to essentially repackage the software and try again. This is beyond my present means of knowledge or time to acquire same and

Hi all, I was wondering if someone knows how to "automatically" login as root with gdm and gnome. I have been doing some searching, and havent been able to find a method. I dont want to login automatically all the time - its just part of install setup. 1) kickstart install 2) post section do somethings 3) setup so on reboot auto login as root 4) complete installing some things and

Can anybody explain to me what's going on here? This is a CentOS 4 i386 system.

Greetings, I'm experiencing in issue with the latest Wine on Fedora Core 4, latest kernel and all latest drivers available. I'm attempting to run World of Warcraft, after compiling a custom build of wine, with instructions outlined at http://wiki.kaspersandberg.com/doku.php?id=howtos:wine:worldofwarcraft Everything compiles fine, and I'm able to run wine to generat the

I have a number of CentOS6 machines, and on one of them, the daily prelink cron job aborts. Any ideas what to look for? /etc/cron.daily/prelink: /etc/cron.daily/prelink: line 47: 9381 Aborted (core dumped) /usr/sbin/prelink -av $PRELINK_OPTS >> /var/log/prelink/prelink.log 2>&1 I'm unfamiliar with prelink, so I'm not sure what to look for in the logs.

The current /lib/tls support in Xen/Linux through rewriting faulting instructions seems to work well, but for one rather nasty issue. If you are running with /lib/tls on a system that also uses prelinking (you can check this by looking for e.g., /etc/cron.daily/prelink) then you''re /lib/tls libraries will get corrupted! The problem is that the prelinking changes cause some of the binary

Can't remember if I posted this before... We're getting warnings from rkhunterWarning: Checking for prerequisites [ Warning ] All file hash checks will be skipped because: This system uses prelinking, but the hash function command does not look like SHA1 or MD5. Now, googling, I find people saying to rm /etc/prelink.cache, then run rkhunter --propupd. Works. And then,

Not sure why, but it wouldn't affect make your system automatically start skype. Read 'man prelink.conf': -b --black-list=PATH This option allows

What are the pros and cons of disabling prelinking in CentOS 4? From what I understand, prelinking is ment to be performance improvement (faster loading time for binaries). I can see some potential benefit on workstations where many different processes are started frequently. But how big is that benefit in real life? Would I slow down things noticably if there is no prelinking? Is

Hi People, I have just started building my own RPMS on both Fedora and CentOS and generally things have gone well. Currently I am trying to create RPMS for some commercial software that we have purchased. Step 1 was install the software using its JAVA Based installer ensuring that all files were installed into a particular directory in /usr/local. Step 2 was create a tar file of the

Hi all, I've removed two legacy features from LightDM: 1. lightdm-set-defaults This tool was created so that scripts could easily modify the LightDM configuration, in particular so packages could modify it on installation / removal. This is not required since LightDM 1.8 as you can now create a snippet of configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d or /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d.

Both RCurl and rstan seem to have installed now. Did the following on my RHEL6 server: [root at ping ~]# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ [root at ping ~]# /usr/bin/curl-config --libs -L/usr/lib64 -lcurl Now the output from your previous commands look like: [root at ping ~]# pkg-config --list-all |grep libcurl libcurl

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines works fine on Wine with default setup but it uses a lot of pc time (i consider running it under seperate x session). Finally i can play one of my favourite games in linux. thx guys! Commandos: Beyond The Call of Duty is working, too, but it doesn't recognise keyboard input :( however, with all other applications i got message about security patched kernel

Before I reported that YUM often crashed. I was given help here on this list which stopped YUM from freezing my computer. However, YUM is still not behaving. Recently, I went to install a program called transcode. Yum found 14 packages that needed to be installed. It installed one of them and then stopped. It gave me this error: /sbin/ldconfig: File

In short, the reason considering (and still only considering) turning it off is to make tripwire usable again (security vs. performance, I guess). Is it possible to completely turn it off system-wide? Any additional steps needed on the existing system (that already have half of the binaries prelinked)? What order of performance degradation to expect? If it is minor, nobody is going to cry
