First off, Johnny and all of the rest of the CentOS team, thank you for your efforts! Second, to all with this problem, I too experienced the issue (I posted on the CentOS-Devel list my findings).?

All, This is just a heads-up that the new C7 update kernel breaks ABI compatibility, at least as far as using the ELrepo nVidia drivers is concerned. I have posted more details to the ELrepo list; but since many folks use the Elrepo kmods I thought a heads-up would be appropriate. If you use the ELrepo nvidia kmod you will either need to hold off on the kernel update or uninstall the nvidia

As much as I hate to be the bearer of news, I saw over 400 updates this morning on my upstream 6.1 box.... checking the upstream website, yeah, EL6.2 is out, at least for updates. I didn't see ISO's in my subscribed channel yet, though. I figured someone would notice soon enough. So before anyone goes into flame mode, think about the difficulties that have faced the CentOS developers in

After reading through the various SELinux threads, I really became quite perturbed. I mean, really quite perturbed. As an IT Director (and the entire IT department, currently), if I were hiring a sysadmin I know for a fact that someone whose first response to a question on why something doesn't work is 'turn it off' would not get a job here. Neither would a sysadmin with as much

Hi all, Since the vault for 7.3.1611 has been cleared out last sunday (20170207) - why is that? - I'm using git to download a "SRPM", or more accurately, its contents. However, using git has one major drawback: It is missing checksums for the files. Are there any plans to provide checksums for the files in git so I can be sure that what I download is actually not tampered with?

confused somewhat. It's my understanding that there is a free version for us out there. ....been goin blind googling. ...need little direction to get started w/vmware and what we are running. thx John Rose

Ran into a bit of a sticky wicket today. And for reasons that should be obvious it was a bit difficult to google for a solution, so I backed out the upgrade. So I'm hoping someone here has seen and fixed this already. System: CentOS 7, fully updated. After the nss updates in the past day or so, visiting https://www.google.com with Firefox results in the following error screen: Secure

You can get RHEL on Dell Precision mobile workstations. Laptops, just higher end.

I have an application with is binary-only, does its job well, and is only available for either libc5 (!) or early early glibc2.0 (!!). It has been running on a Red Hat Linux 5.2 (NOT RHEL; RHL) server for a really long time, and it honestly does its job and it's not easily replaced by an open-source solution at the moment. So, I need to do one of the following things: 1.) Run Red Hat

I believe it's because I'm using the 32 bit flavor of centos. Of course I found a doc stating that right after I sent the email.

Heads-up to everyone: CR is getting CentOS 7.1511 (aka '7.2') packages..... just updated using CR, and, yeah, GNOME 3.14 is a bit different from 3.8...... several things are in different places on the screen. I did have to re-setup my triple monitor settings to have the laptop's display in the center and the two other displays as one on the left and one on the right. The good
