Hi, I asked yum to update all packages on my CentOS 4.1 system and glibc was among them. Yum crashed in the middle and now I've some packages installed twice: 2 zlib-1.2.1.2-1.2 2 ncurses-5.4-13 2 mysql-4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1 2 libstdc++-3.4.4-2 2 libstdc++-3.4.3-22.1 2 libselinux-1.19.1-7 2 libgcc-3.4.4-2 2 libgcc-3.4.3-22.1 2

Hi, I've built customs kernels from the SRPMs with the following: rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 /path/to/spec cd /usr/src ln -s /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-x.y.z/linux-x.y.z linux cd linux make oldconfig make menuconfig make all make modules make modules_install And it works just fine. The problem now is that I think installing that way isn't

So, when you add a log device to a pool, it initiates a resilver. What is it actually doing, though? Isn''t the slog a copy of the in-memory intent log? Wouldn''t it just simply replicate the data that''s in the other log, checked against what''s in RAM? And presumably there isn''t that much data in the slog so there isn''t that much to check? Or

For about a week now yum has tried and failed to update skypeforlinux: Packages skipped because of dependency problems: ??? skypeforlinux-8.10.0.4-1.x86_64 from skype-stable Processing Dependency: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.20)(64bit) for package: skypeforlinux-8.10.0.4-1.x86_64 Is there any resolution to this issue?

This error: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: debug. Please verify its path and try again occurs every time I run yum (and is where execution stops). Why? and/or What can be done to fix yum so I can use it again? tnx. -- War is a failure of the imagination. --William Blake

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I have a weird (?) problem here on a setup running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 (and OpenVZ, and some home-brew L2TP daemons, RIPd, BGPd, etc). There's a (VE in OpenVZ speak) virtual machine that has two ethernet interfaces, seen as eth0 and eth1, respectively. Those live in VLANs, but it's not important here. The thing is that on eth1 the

One of the build options for a laptop I'm looking at buying is DVD vs Blu-Ray. I've never used Blue-ray before, so is there some compelling reason, as a Linux guy, to want to get Blu-ray?

When I do "yum update gmime gmime-sharp" I get: ... --> Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) ... But both of these are already installed: # rpm -q gmime gmime-sharp

Though I've worked with enterprise systems, I'm not familiar with FOOS backup software. Which of those recommended would allow me to backup a system while users are active on it? If it matters the system uses LVM. I'd also like to be able to avoid needing the network if possible. That is, I'd plug in a disk into a USB port and backup the system onto that... again, while

It's half a nice Saturday later and many attempts have brought no satisfaction. Maybe this can't be done. I'm trying to write a function which, when called from one function execute in another. In itself, that's not the problem. Rather, there's one built-in variable which is evaluated in the function definition and it's value is then set (too early). Here's the one

An entire filesystem (~180g) needs to be copied from one local linux machine to another. Since both systems are on the same local subnet, there's no need for encryption. I've done this sort of thing before a few times in the past in different ways, but wanted to get input from others on what's worked best for them. One consideration is that the source filesystem contains quite a

I searched for libid3-3.8.so.3 with yum: # yum search \*libid3-3.8\* but it returns "No Matches found" Am I not searching correctly, or does this not exist in CentOS 5.7? tnx

Weird. There seems to be quite a bit of software missing from C7.2, gnome-applets being one of them. Or has it been moved or renamed or otherwise obscured? tia
