Hello, The support for Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless is native in the kernel since 2.6.37 (module brcm80211, renamed brcmsmac since 2.6.39). But is it backported to some kernel available for CentOS ? Thanks, -- Philippe Naudin

Hi, We re doing backups of all filesystems to a dedicated server using "rsync -x". Now, the latest CentOS versions (5.7/6.x) come with rsync-3.0.6 instead of rsync-2.x. That's nice but unfortunately it doesn't do the same as 2.x in certain situations. The problem is with the -x option, which does not delete content under a mount point anymore. It was my impression that this is

How exactly to use the tag "Obsoletes:" in a spec file ? I need to offer texlive to users on Centos-5.6, so I packaged it (based on a Mandriva src.rpm), and that works. But I want rpm to *replace* tetex by texlive, instead of just adding texlive, when users do a : $ yum install texlive (we have a local repo here). So I added this line in texlive.spec : Obsoletes: tetex and of

Hi all I have a '/etc/cron.daily/push-to-backup' script which the content is: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/rsync [... long options line ...] echo "finished pushing to the backup" Launched manually, it's OK. Waiting for cron to execute it, In the "/var/log/cron", I see the starting time and the finish time, and I see it take about 10 minutes to make the job.

Hello, After updating to CentOS-5.7, I have a (small) problem : The context of /dev/megadev0 is now defined (in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts) as system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0.

Hello, On CentOS-6.2, these two commands (on the same machine) give me different results : # restorecon -r /var/www/html/Centos/ # (as root) $ sudo restorecon -r /var/www/html/Centos/ # (as an unprivileged user) /var/www/html/Centos/ is a symlink to /mnt/packages/Centos/ In the first case, I get : # ls -Z /var/www/html/Centos/ drwxr-xr-x. naudin biom system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t

Hello, I have a strange (for me) problem with these two machines : - Client, a CentOS-5.7 workstation ; - Server, a CentOS-6.2 headless, up-to-date server. From Client, I want to use xauth on Server with the help of rsh (yes, I know, ssh and all this sort of things... another time.) When SELinux is in permissive mode on Server, all these commands perform as expected : rsh Server

Lets say I have two source files file1.c and file2.c The latter just contains sub-routines to be used by the first. i.e. in file1.c I have the line #include "file2.c" Let's say "R CMD SHLIB file1.c" runs perfectly and I want to include the code in a package, "R CMD build" also runs fine but R CMD check" gives * checking whether package

"Writing R Extensions" says {quotes} If you have a crash which gives a core dump you can use something like gdb /path/to/R/bin/exec/R core.12345 to examine the core dump.

If I boot in runlevel 5, using gdm, I get the login screen, but after login I get sometimes only the root window (no icons, no toolbar, no menu, nothing but keyboard shortcuts), sometimes the icons are here but not the toolbars... If I use startx from runlevel 3, everything is fine. As I don't know Gnome, I have very
