similar to: "Can't install ... as no transaction" from PackageKit (CentOS 6)

//Hi,/ /I need to implement a system of disk space checks and warnings for a client-server setup running CentOS 6. Simply put, I just want a warning popup rather like the ones given by gdu-notification-daemon when server file system is full or nearly full, but they should appear on the client display(s) rather than locally, and must also work when nobody is logged directly in to the (server)

Hi. Does anyone else have issues with the GNOME help viewer on CentOS 6? I think it mostly worked a while back, but after some recent update or the other, I have problems like: 1. Nothing happens when I click "Desktop User Guide" or "GNOME Desktop Accessibility Guide" or "GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide" on the "Help Topics" page. 2. If I

Hi, I'm trying to use gnome PackageKit (gpk-application) on a centos 6 x86_64 system. When I am sitting at the machine it works ok, but most of the time I am accessing that C6 system via ssh from my centos 5 desktop. In this scenario gpk-application starts ok, lists packages, resolves deps, etc... but then it doesn't pop up the box asking for the root password, and aborts with a

Hi, Does anyone know a way to access rpm packages on the CentOS 6 install DVD after booting into "rescue mode" from the same DVD? I mean, I can't immediately see the Packages directory or a full DVD mount point...

Hi. Is anyone here running CentOS 6 with dual monitors configured as a single X Screen? I'm trying such a setup on version 5 (again), using NVIDIA TwinView, and it works in many ways, but there are a number of problems that means it's not too usable - the most important one being that there appears to be no way to control which of the displays new applications/windows will appear

Hi Is anyone here using VirtualBox? I've had it working rather well for some time, but after some recent upgrade or the other it's started exiting with a Segmentation fault just after startup, before windows are opened or anything. I've tried a few different versions, all with the same result. I'm using binary packages http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el. So,

Hi Does anyone know what exactly controls which filesystems are listed when opening Computer (URL computer:///) in the File Browser? I have a system disk with 4 different data partitions, but only 3 of them show up in the list. The "missing" one can, however, be mounted just fine from the command line, and it's also included in /dev/disk/by-label. It has an NTFS file system,

Hi, After some recent upgrade or the other, the browser plugin for java no longer works in my CentOS 6 x86_64 setup - using Firefox. Applets won't load, and no java plugin is mentioned in "about:plugins". The "openjdk" Java packages as well as icetea-web are installed, though, and everything worked just fine a few weeks ago. Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what may be

Hello again, Another problem with my new CentOS 6 installation: The C/C++ support in Eclipse seems to be partial or missing - even though eclipse-cdt is installed. Eclipse starts all right, and I get a C/C++ perspective, but: 1. If I open a C++ file, it's sent to an external editor. 2. C or C++ is not mentioned in Preferences. 3. I can't find a reference to CDT under Help->About

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 on a couple of servers of type IBM System x3550 M3, but it's not going too well. Actually, the install setup phase runs as expected, and the actual installation also appears to be successful, but the system will not boot - I just get a message (presumably) from BIOS saying that boot from hard disk 0. If I start the installer again after this, or boot

If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI way" on a CentOS 7 system, what am I supposed to do? If I open the file in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think) opens, but it just displays the message Sorry, something went wrong I mean, really? Isn't this

Hi, Is anyone here using a Logitech wireless mouse our keyboard or whatever using a "unifying receiver". Any luck with pairing new devices with the unit? I've tried various different programs from the net that's supposed to be able to do this, but they all fail in one way or the other. "pairing_tool" and "ltpair" will exit with a "broken pipe"

Hi Just thought I might ask my recent question about Eclipse again, only in a slightly different way: Is anyone here using the Eclipse version supplied with the CentOS 6 distro (as opposed to a build downloaded from www.eclipse.org)? Does it work for you? Are you able to install additional components via the built-in software setup mechanism? Thanks, - Toralf This e-mail, including any

Hi, I've had problems copying files to Windows shares from my CentOS 7 machine lately. I originally got this in the desktop file manager, but find that I can also reproduce using gvfs-copy. "cp" to the directory mounted by gvfs works just fine, on the other hand. Also, the problem does not occur with small files - I think anything below 64k is OK. The following command sequence

I'm trying to set up a custom rpm respository for some in-house software, and configure a number of CentOS 5 clients so that they may install and update the software in question from the location in question. I think I've mostly figured out how to do this - I've successfully installed software on one of the clients via "yum install <my package>" after adding an

Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would be. When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency, etc. -- Seth.

How exactly are you supposed to configure the display (i.e. set up X11) on a CentOS 6 system? I mean, in the past, there was system-config-display, but that's not supported any more. There is gnome-display-properties/System->Preferences->Display, but that seems to rely completely on auto-detection of the graphics card and monitors. What if this fails? Surely there should be a way to

Hi, I was just wondering, is there a "correct" or "preferred" way of setting up the path and other environment variables for Qt 4 development/build using qmake and all - on a CentOS 6 system? I mean, this does not work out-of-the box, at least if you have build files that assume "qmake" may be executed just like that - as there is no Qt 4 qmake on the path,

Has anyone here tried the Compiz window manager under CentOS 5? I just thought I might give it a go, but when I executed "compiz --replace", I got a segfault. This was using the version from the CentOS yum repositories, and logged in to the GNOME desktop. My graphics driver is the proprietary one from NVIDIA. I tried adding Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals"
