Received this SELinux warning: Summary: SELinux is preventing ld-linux.so.2 from loading /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.#prelink#.4GxqM1 which requires text relocation. Detailed Description: The ld-linux.so.2 application attempted to load /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.#prelink#.4GxqM1 which requires text relocation. This is a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission. Libraries are

I have a fresh install of 5.4 x86_64 from a dvd .iso. All has worked well for several days, including kvm and WinXP running in a vm. Decided it was time to get the multimedia stuff up and running so I could listen to music CDs and watch DVD movies while working. I followed the guidance on the "Tips and Tricks" page for multimedia. Had no problem with the "priorities" or the

Finally moved my home desktop from Fedora to CentOS. My spouse was unhappy with me upgrading from F9-->F10-->f11 etc and wanted something more stable. I built a second machine which is now running in parallel to the old F11 desktop. I moved my data (mail and files) from the F11 box to the CentOS 5.4 box. I used tar to move everything. Mail and files transferred A-OK...but the Evolution

Starting with a fresh load and after I finish hardening the load following the Center for Internet Security (CIS) guidance, I'm wondering whether AIDE or OSSEC would be a better intrusion detection system. I installed AIDE and did a quick test of AIDE and after initializing the db and applying the recent cups update, I found that 1700+ files had changed. Those are a lot of changes to wade

I'm receiving the centos-request in digest mode. Using Fedora 10 and Evolution. When I tried to reply to a centos-request message inside the digest, the result doesn't seem to look right. I cut/paste the proper subject line (replacing the CentOS Digest, Vol NN, Issue nn text), but some have complained that this approach doesn't allow the original question and replies to be threaded.

I've installed CentOS 6.6 on a workstation at a local non-profit as a kiosk machine. I used xguest. Works great, except now the customer wants the Firefox homepage to be one pointing to a particular site. Doesn't seem to be much documentation on how to make minor changes to the account. Lots of SELinux guidance, but nothing about default home page, etc. Dave

Sending my son back to college with a dual-boot laptop with Win 7 and CentOS 5.5. He uses Win7 to manage his iPod and SW that sometimes issued by a professor for a specific course...otherwise he uses CentOS for everything else. That setup worked well last year, except for printing. He has a low-end Cannon printer that is not supported in the Linux realm. Most of his coursework was uploaded to

Have decided to give up on the embedded Broadcom 4312 wireless device in my son's Dell laptop. I get WEP open authentication to work, but nothing else. I was about to dump the bcm43xx kernel module and the bcm43xx-microcode5.fw firmware and work with the newer b43 module and associated firmware. However, he claims that at school, he has always had intermittent problems with wireless under

Have been looking for an alternative to OneNote which will run on CentOS. I've looked at Evernote, but it's support for Linux is emerging (supports Android, but not other flavors yet). I've looked at nixnote, but it looks as though I might have to make from source. I can do that, but would prefer to find something in the standard CentOS repositories. None of the other

I have a requirement to allow our security officer to regularly view and analyze the logging and auditing results of one of the machines in our lab. He comes from the Microsoft Windows world and is not a *nix trained person. I know I can configure logwatch. I can also create a script containing various 'aureport' runs into a cron job. Any recommendations for a GUI-based tool that would

1) darwine helps linux with enough applications on none-x86 machines. user can drop windows/x86 away. it seems dar wine is a threat. 2) when linux people are used to windows applications on those machines. microsoft claims to compile vista to those machines. microsoft gets the world of those machines . darwine helps microsoft without any thanks from bill gates. what will happen next?

There's a groklaw article summarizing recent discussion about the impact of the Bilski case on software patents: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20081102011538422 "The judge says this kind of cloning could be done without infringing Microsoft's copyrights, but how about its patents? Prior to Bilski, one might give one answer. Now, one might give another." If we

In order to get an OpenOffice configuration that is closer in compatibility with MS Office 2007, I removed the standard OO in 5.4 via yum and installed the latest (3.2.0) from OpenOffice.org. Ran that config for many months without a problem. However, when I allowed the upgrade to 5.5, OO broke. I finally had to remove all traces of OO 3.2.0, and start over. That worked...until yum tells me that

I want to add a new video card that will drive multiple monitors. Current installation of CentOS 6.3 x86_64 is working well with the hdmi output of the motherboard. Once I install the new video card, how do I force 6.3 to discover and configure it? Seems with 6.0 and newer, system-config-display is gone and replaced with a combination of udev and xrandr. I'm not familiar with these and

Oldest son came back from college and wants a printer for his Dell laptop. I built it with CentOS 5.3 x86_64 several months ago and will upgrade it to 5.4 The Cannon printer he now has (bought with the laptop and Vista through the university book store), doesn't seem to have linux drivers. I built the machine with Vista and CentOS in dual-boot, so he could manage his iTunes and use the

Thanks for all the responses. A little more digging revealed: md0 is made up of two 250G disks on which the OS and a very large /var partions resides for a number of virtual machines. md1 is made up of two 2T disks on which /home resides. Challenge is that disk 0 of md0 is the problem and it has a 524M /boot partition outside of the raid partition. My plan is to back up /home (md1) and at a
