I have a bunch of DecTOPs. Use the AMD Geode chip. Yesterday I upgraded one of them, and got the dreaded Kernel panic. Something about powernowk8. I could boot up with the old kernel, though. I know I have to put in a bug report on this, will do shortly, but first wanted to try a fresh install on another DecTOP. At the prompt, I specified: linux askmethod After it loaded the kernel, it

Trying the to install on the OQO, and hitting up against one problem I see a lot in the comments about installing various distros on it. That is its screen size.

A couple of years ago there was a discussion on lkml under the thread 'PATCH - ext2fs privacy (i.e. secure deletion) patch' about zapping deleted data in the filesystem as a security mechanism. The discussion wandered off into how 'chattr +s' could be implemented and whether encrypting filesystems wouldn't be a better solution to the problem. I've been maintaining a

I noticed that although I'd fetched the latest update to ntp from the mirror it wasn't being installed. It seems that the version numbers have got out of step. According to the changelog the update that was released in August should have had the version number 4.2.0.a.20040617-8.el4_7.2, whereas in CentOS it's actually 4.2.0.a.20040617-8.el4_8.2. The changelog says the latest update

Hey folks - So what happened to the RescueCD ISO?... i'm not finding it under the ...centos/4.4/isos/ dir, as i believe it generally has been previously. At my office, we have a local mirror, and i've always just burned the RescueCD ISO and booted with that. At the prompt i supply "linux askmethod" and then later reference our local mirror to do an install or upgrade. The

I've mostly been using MATE from epel when I use GUI access on CentOS7 because it works with x2go, but just noticed on a system with Gnome3 that I can't drag items out of the menus to the desktop or top bar for easier access. Is there some way to make the desktop space useful for more than pretty wallpaper? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Installing a new system, I launched the install: linux vnc I was then able to connect with a VNC client and run the install, really cool. All went well until the actual installation started. I saw the formatting of the swap partition, then the root file system and then I was suddenly disconnected. On the console was the following message: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption
