Ok, downloading the BackupPC RPM directly did not work to myriad dependencies and sub-dependencies. How do I add the Test repository to my yum config, please?

Hi. Has the issue with rsync using a lot of memory if there are a lot of files been addressed in 3.0? I checked the rsync FAQ and it says this issue would require a major rewrite of rsync, not sure if that entry is up to date or not - 3.0 is a major rewrite AFAIK. Thanks, Aleksey

Hello, Let's say your operating policy is "no patch updates without testing first in the test environment". Let's say it takes you 3 weeks to test. Over the course of the 3 weeks, the repo changes (new packages added, old removed). Is there a way to "freeze" a set of packages so that when I run "yum update" on a Prod server it'll get the same package

Hi. This page saved me a lot of trouble today, when my Xen 3 multi-bridge setup stopped working after updated from CentOS 5.5 to 5.7: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Virtualization-en-US/ch-virt-bridge-errors.html However there were a couple of errors in the script: use of "op" instead of "OP" (variable name mismatch) and use of .. ,, instead of ;; in the shell

Hi. I've installed BackupPC 3.1.0 from Testing repository, to Cent OS 5.2 x86_64, and I am hitting an SE Linux denial - the httpd cannot talk to the BackupPC socket: type=AVC msg=audit(07/31/2008 17:18:53.623:410) : avc: denied { connectto } for pid=11767 comm=httpd path=/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0

How do I find out who is the maintainer of the php-pgsql package, please? I want to request upgrade from underlying postgresql-libs-8.1.21 (/usr/lib64/libpq.so.4) to postgresql84-libs-8.4.4 (/usr/lib64/libpq.so.5.2). Background on this request: Apache httpd's php's php-pgsql uses PostgreSQL 8.1 library (/usr/lib64/libpq.so.4), which leaks memory. PostgreSQL 8.4 library does not leak.

Hi. I am trying to recursively rsync a directory containing 13 million files. Right now this is killing my server, in terms of memory usage. I've upgraded from rsync 2.6.9 to 3.0.3 on both ends, but memory usage is still too high. I killed the rsync process when it reached 256 MB in size. I only have 1 GB of RAM in this server. We've planned an outage to upgrade it to 3 GB, but

Hi. I'm trying to get OTRS running on CentOS 5.5 with SELinux enabled, and audit.log / audit2allow tell me I need to add the local policy: #============= httpd_t ============== allow httpd_t unconfined_t:shm { unix_read unix_write }; which I think will allow the httpd access to read and write from shared memory? Is that right? What are the risks involved in opening this? I notice it is

Hi. Running CentOS 5 with the default GNOME desktop. Is it possible to configure xterm windows not to have title bars to get the most out of the available screenspace? I've tried to look this up but mostly find reference how to change the content of the title bar; I want to remove it completely. Found a reference to Compiz but the version available through CentOS seems old (0.0.13 compared

Hi. CentOS 5.4 64-bit with SELinux, happily running for over a year, suddenly httpd fails to start up, getting an error message like: Starting httpd: Syntax error on line X of /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: libxml2.so.2: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied I turned off SELinux and was able to start httpd.

Hi. A friend of mine (Jim Fancher) is having trouble with his Samba install on CentOS Linux. I suggested he ask on the Samba users mailing list. He joined the list and posted, and got an autoreply saying his message is being held for moderation. That was a week ago (Mon, Nov 22nd). Nothing since. I see other posts coming through since then, so wondering why his message got delayed. It was

Hi Devs and others, First, many thanks for 14+ years of personal usage rsync. I'm trying to rsync to an sshfs mount point instead of using ssh transport. The reason for this is that I'm using encfs to create files which land on the (untrusted) destination encrypted. After witnessing stalled rsync progress, a barely utilized internet connection and and idle CPU, I stripped this down

Hi. I've been running CentOS 5 for ages. (Thanks!) I went to install 6.3 - I downloaded the 64-bit DVD 1 image, and put it on a USB drive. Booted into a screen that said boot will start in 10.. 9... 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. 10.. and so on, infinite loop, the boot never starts. I tried booting in text mode, but it doesn't boot, just goes back to the menu. Is there some way to

Hi. Has anyone figured out how to get Bugzilla working on CentOS 5.2 WITHOUT TURNING OFF SELINUX?

Hi. I just installed CentOS for the first time, to make a BackupPC server. However, when I try to install BackupPC using yum, I get the error: No package backuppc available. I searched the Testing, Extras and CentOS Plus repositories, and found a BackupPC package only in Testing, at http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm which I

Hi. We have a Windows laptop that has gotten too slow, it's borderline unusable, so I burned a CentOS 5.2 32-bit Live CD, just to try it out in the home. It boots up fine, but it does not connect to the Internet... Now we normally connect through a wireless network, there are several around here -- on the Windows box we choose the network to which to connect... but on CentOS there is

Is there a way to update a CentOS 5.4 server to 5.6 (but not 5.7)? "yum update" takes me all the way up to 5.7. Best, -at

Hi. I just noticed I had a CentOS 5.3 system that I updated to CentOS 5.5 a few days ago, and I just ran "yum -y update" again to get the latest kernel, and I just noticed it still has the old 2.6.18-128 kernel instead of the new 2.6.18-194.17. What gives? /etc/grub.conf points at 2.6.18-194.17, but when I reboot, 2.6.18-128 comes up. Any suggestions? Thanks, -at myserver# yum -y
