similar to: upgrading to a minor release 4.1 to 4.2

Dear All >From my previous posts , I learned from you to make use of 'sort' , 'grep' , and 'grep -v' to manipulate text files . At now, I have generated a large text file from my autoexpect script. To be more specific, I need to find how many distinct records are there in say column#1? How can I filter out the distinct records with number of occurances less than a

I've got a Red hat 8.0 machine running the latest "up2date" version of Samba (2.2.7 with Red Hat's patches) acting as a print server using CUPS. The printing of documents is fine for the most part. But I have noticed one thing that is really nothing more than an annoyance and was wondering if anyone else has seen the problem and possibly a cure. I have all Windows 2000 Pro

greetings! it appeared to me that previous upgrades were strained by sheer amount and size of the update as well as the eagerness of the CentOS userbase to get upgraded... this last one, well... it went so smooth that i believe many may have missed it happening so to speak :-) initially having been a large Galacticom aka Worldgroup BBS operator (remember those?) and then an ISP for going on 2

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

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

CentOS3.9 Users: After applying all Updates to Upgrade from CentOS 3.8 CentOS 3.9 I find up2date no longer works "correctly" (or shall I say NOT as before)... Missing is the "sources" File!!! Is this how V 4.5.5-7 is supposed to be or is the "sources" File omission an "error"??? Lawrence Houston -- (centos at greenfield.dyndns.org)

I have found a few issues with puppet and the up2date provider (version 0.22.4) that I''d like to run by those who use up2date (to see if others are experiencing the same issues). 1. Puppet doesn''t seem to find the latest updates of packages that are already installed. In looking at "/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/up2date.rb", I found that

I have three users that are having trouble with my Samba network. This trouble is composed of two (possibly distinct) issues. My network is controlled by a Red Hat ES 3 server running Samba 3.0.2 with an LDAP backend. Issue 1: Laptop users, with "Offline Files" that are made of their "My Documents" directories. These directories are stored on the Samba server (so they can

Well I just tried up2date -u Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... Downloading headers to solve dependencies... ####################################### Downloading headers to solve dependencies... There was a package dependency problem. The message was: Unresolvable chain of dependencies: libibverbs 1.0.3-1 requires kernel-ib libmthca 1.0.2-1

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to

Hi all, i have a problem with centos's up2date tool. I have setup a central update server with yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/) under CentOS-4. When yam calls t up2date to download updates, up2date returns this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yam", line 1099, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/yam", line 983, in main

Hello guys, Did anyone noticed how green CentOS 6 is compared to the previous release? I've been running a couple of "CentOS 6" VMs (on our vSphere environment) for the last couple of weeks and noticed a BIG difference when it comes to CPU usage when the VM is completely idle. I would like to share what I've seen in our environment: PfSense 2.0 (FreeBSD) VM: 40 Mhz CentOS

I am working on some initial testing of puppet and noticed that when using the package type, I see this in my client logs (from different runs): warning: Found multiple default providers for package: up2date, yum; using up2date warning: Found multiple default providers for package: yum, up2date; using yum This is on a CentOS 4.4 client with puppet-0.22.0-1.el4 (from dlutter repo).

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

Got part 1 - xx of back up working, so figured it's a good time to look for stuff to jettison... casually of course. Like paperwork, documentation, ... it's low on the priority list with GB so cheap these days. Anyway, 42M in /var/spool/up2date. Headers and such. I use only yum after my first month or so of CentOS. Can I dump that and similar non- config stuff? Or does it have some
