similar to: Newer GNOME than base release

As an experiment, I am attempting to build a more recent version of GNOME than 2.16.0 on CentOS 5.1. I've tried both garnome and jhbuild, and neither one works quite right. Jhbuild blows out looking for a dbus-glib-1 revision >= 0/74 (the release rev is 0.70), so I downloaded that and tried to build it. This results in the following error: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wchar-subscripts

I have not had any success building a more recent version of GDE than 2.16.0 on CentOS. I tried jhbuild, and went line by line using the how-to web page for jhbuild (http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html), and I get hung up on dbus-glib-l (which does not appear to be in CentOS or available for it, at least from base, updates, extras, KB & rpmforge). Garnome is another possibility that I

A friend of mine here at work pointed me at this web page www.fhlcell.org where there are a lot of Chinese characters on the page. Interestingly enough, on my CentOS 5.2 system, with both Seamoneky 1.1.11 and Firefox 3.0, we were unable to get the characters to display properly (they showed up as the little four number boxes instead). However, on his Ubuntu system, using Firefox, they displayed

I found it - there has to be a /var/lib/nfs directory with a few subdirectories under it. Once I had created them all, I could run rpc.statd, and that unfroze everything. Thanks to all, esp. Bill for mentioning rpc - that was the clue for me. mhr

I realize I'm not getting a lot of questions answered here lately, and I'm going to presume that this is for legitimate reasons (i.e., people don't know or are too busy to think about it), not because they seem stupid (if they do, please tell me, on the list or privately). I run Windows as a VMWare guest on top of my CentOS host, and I generally have not used a firewall on the guest.

I just discovered that a couple of files on my system are ELF executables when they should be directories. How do I change a file into a directory? I don't think I've ever run into this one before.... Thanks mhr CentOS 5.2 w/all updates

Some people don't know how to conduct themselves on usenet and mailing lists. Despite the mailing list guidelines being crystal clear about no html posting and not top-posting we have people still doing so. People still use text-readers to access the mailing list so you could be denying access to these people by flouting the mailing list guidelines. This is an example of top-posting

I just tried to run a bash script (called "whose") from my USB drive and I get this: bash: /mt/bin/whose: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied I did some googling and found that this is because my USB drive is mounted with noexec permission. When I was running FC8, this was not the case. How can I control this (i.e., allow 'exec' on my USB drive(s))? Thanks mhr

Hi, Can any one tell me how to upgrade from the current GNOME version to a new version with out upgrading my distribution. -- Sadaruwan Samaraweera

Is there a way I can keep a complete mirror of old/new releases of CentOS 4/5 automagically? In other words I would pull the old files from the vault site when needed, and new files from one of the other mirrors. I've seen/used a few scripts but rsync just stomps the old releases with the latest. The key issue here is having new release detection happen programmatically so I don't need to

I recently emailed an important jpeg image to a colleague, but when he tried to insert it into a document it 'failed'. It appears that when jpegs are attached to messages, they become 'corrupted' - is this a known problem with evolution, and/or is there a way of solving the problem? Andy

After upgrade my laptop, I discovered a low performance on it. The laptop is a 2,73GHz Intel centrino and from some kernels versions to now, it had a good performance, the cpu scaling worked fine. Now, I discover that forcing in /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed the governors and/or max/min speeds, it don't want to run more quickly. The laptop boots fine with the correct speed (usual speed), but when

I've got 2 internet connections but unfortunately not the same - 6mbit and 1 mbit. My default is 6mbit and I want to create backup connection (1mbit). How can do it? Has anybody done it? My perfect scenario is that my network uses 1mbit if (only) 6mbit fails and it switches automatically. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be

The one I like: http://www.rhetorical.com/cgi-bin/demo.cgi is toast. I think they went broke or got aquired by someone. Also, is there a Festival voice that sounds as good as Rhetorical or the AT & T stuff? The default one is barely legible. Since Festival is a little brutal to configure, I'd like to get someone's recommendation then go through the pain of reconfiguring it only once.

This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway (I do that - you all know... :-). Due to a bug I found in OOo 2.0, I moved to using OOo 2.3, back when I was still running CentOS 5.0. Now that I have upgraded to 5.1, yum wants to update my OOo from 2.3 BACK to 2.0. Is it possible to get yum to recognize that 2.3 is newer than 2.0, or should I just exclude OOo from the updates? Thanks.

I have 2.8.0 from the base repro. I am running yumex with the Plus, DAG, kbsingh, and jpackage repros. None of which offer a newer version of Gnome. I am talking about a 'deficiency' I am having with gnome, and one responder that does not have these problems is on 2.14.2

I did the update from CR, and have some pretty serious issues.? Until I blew away (by mv to a different name) the .local and .config directory trees, I couldn't log in to GNOME at all.? After doing that, I can log in, but if I do any actual work, GNOME crashes, and abrt-cli from root in vc 2 tells me that gnome-shell got a SIGSEGV.?I figure all of the updates aren't in CR yet, so I'm

I have a plain vanilla Centos source (not 100% sure where we got it from), but I can't seem to get a build that installs correctly. I tried the method described at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, but rpm doesn't like the output file, and even if I install it with -F, nothing seems to happen - no new kernel, now initrd, nothing. When I tried following the directions in the
