After a crash I tried wget http://debuginfo.centos.org/5/x86_64/kernel-debuginfo-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.x86_64.rpm as usual. But for 32.1 there is no kernel-debuginfo. Is there any reason for that?

Do CentOS 5.4 users still have to use the RedHat preliminary kernels (http://people.redhat.com/jlayton/) for getting a NFSv4 safe kernel or have the patches been incorporated into CentosPlus kernels? Or is kernel-2.6.18-164.3.1.el5 somewhere in the queue? Thanks in advance! GS -- Gerhard Schneider Institute of Lightweight Design and e-Mail: gs at ilsb.tuwien.ac.at Structural

Are there any known race conditions with 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 x86_64 and NFS4? Today a user managed to shut down two identical Intel servers by copying a simple text file via NFS4. Reverting back to 17.1 made the error disappear. On other non-identical hardware the error was not reproducible (so it must be a combination of hardware and this special kernel revision). Anybody interested in a

Is there any known problem with accountsservice-0.6.35-12 with NFS users? After logging in via lightdm they are not "remembered" and there is no entry created to /var/lib/AccountsService/users Downgrading to accountsservice-0.6.35-9 resolved that issue Gerhard Schneider -- Gerhard Schneider Institute of Lightweight Design and e-Mail: gs at ilsb.tuwien.ac.at Structural

Hi All, I have a WD RE4-GP which dropped an Adaptec 51645 RAID controller. I ran a smartctl short test on the drive and it failed with a read error. So I ran the Western Digital's own diagnostic software (DLGDIAG), both the short and extended test on the drive and it passed with no errors. So I ran the smartctl short test again and again it failed. I then ran smartctl long test and that

Are there any 64bit CentOS5 kernels available that are immune against the exploit mentioned in the subject? Turning off 32bit support is no option to me.. Gerhard Schneider P.S.: Source code can be found at http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2010/Sep/268 and is working "well" on 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.centos.plus -- Gerhard Schneider Institute of Lightweight Design and e-Mail: gs

Hello all, In the process of building a new VM box to replace several individual CentOS servers, I've had the "interesting" experience of running both CentOS-5.5 and RHEL-6 (eval copy) as I build out the hardware based on a Supermicro motherboard. A couple of observations regarding RAID-6: - RAID-6 arrays created on RHEL-6 don't seem backward compatible with CentOS-5.5.

Hi, Despite the mailing list and twitter I did not find any updated info on either versions regarding the current status. So, what is the current status of both versions?

Hallo, actual Intel Ethernet cards PCI-E - Are normal recognized by Centos 5.5 Live CD - Not recognized by 5.2 Because of vmware, I will use 5.2 Update kernel? Update Modules? What Module? Thanks for help Helmut -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

An user is using 2 displays and configured Gnome to "Static Workspaces only on primary display on" using gnome-tweak-tool Till 7.2 it was working as expected. After upgrading to 7.3 the content on the primary screen gets mirrored to all workspaces. When switching to "Static Workspaces only on primary display off" everything is working as expected on 7.3, too. Any ideas?

Today we tried to update machines w/ Core2 Duo E6750 from 3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.centos.plus to 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus and the machines did not boot due to a kernel panic. Before we dig any further I wanted to know if the 11.6 kernel has been tested on old hardware, too, or if the problem is well known but not documented (yet). Thank you in advance!

The upstream provider decided to remove OpenGPG support in its thunderbird-78 packages, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1886962 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1886958 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837512 recommending to either use Mozilla binaries, use Flatpak or switch to Evolution Is there any plan to provide thunderbird-78-full packages in e.g.

After upgrading approx. 50 machines to 7.4 we discovered a reproducible SegFault of one of our commercial programs we use. This SegFault does not occur on CentOS 7.3 and it occurs only on Xeon E3-1230 V3, Xeon E5-2690 and Xeon E5-2697 v2. It does NOT occur on Xeon E5-2697 v3 and Xeon E3-1231 v3, AMD Ryzen and older Core I7-9xx. It is not dependent of the kernel, we switched back to an CentOS

Attached patch allows isolinux to boot from a CDROM attached to a NCR/Symbios/LSIlogic SCSI controller (bios version 4.19). It appears this bios can't read more than 1 sector at the time using the ah=42h int13 call. The isolinux boot was failing early on when 4 sector are read. (bios returned error 0 !) I'm not sure if the same 'getlinsec' routine is called upon later to load

Hello, This afternoon I wanted to upgrade to 7.1 two good old dell PowerEdge servers which were running FreeBSD 6.x.
