I can't find any evidence it was ever in RHEL or CentOS. It looks like it's in the Nux Desktop repo and the Repoforge repo for EL5 and 6 and Nux for EL7. > 6) While I do really appreciate CLI

Is there a way in Centos 7 to boot into an alternate video setup? Some distributions have an option to boot into something called VESA (or something similar). Something that might not have the fanciest features, but more likely to at least just work.

Yes, that is very much like the problem I encountered, but in my case it did not need multiple monitors to happen, just one. The config file suggested did seem to fix the problem, at least serving as a (hopefully) temporary workaround. Johnny, thanks for the pointer. And thanks to all who replied. P.S. - the workaround seems to work with both the latest "standard" Centos 7 kernel

Okay, thanks to all who took the time to reply. What a shame; I hadn't planned on spending Easter weekend learning to do kernel upgrades, but . . . here it goes.

Hello. After some reading, including the rsync man page, I am still not clear on this: When using rsync to backup and restore, when should and when should one *not* include hard links (by using the -H option switch)? A simple example case would be backups for one or just a few light-duty local workstations. Is there a simple, clear rule about that, or is it too complicated for that?

The only things I find confusing are what the trailing / means on a directory name

I had to make do with DOS 3.0 on an 8088 w/ 2 floppy drives... and let me tell you how much fun it was to compile (I kid you not)

Well, it could be the same, but the bug report does seem to refer to the bug being in kernel series 3.18. I am just using whatever 3.10 series kernel comes standard with Centos 7.x. I don't know anything about bug reports, and I an not familiar with swapping out kernels in Centos. BTW, is El Repo another name for the EPEL repository?

Hi, I experience a slow backup problem with Time Machine on Mac. The info below does not help to reduce the backup time to a reasonable period. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204412 So I'd like to use grsync/rsync to incrementally back my disk. I know that Time Machine somehow can create hard links to manage incremental links. Since grsync/rsync is primarily targeted at Linux, is it a

Hello! No updates for days until 2015-04-01. Then presented with huge steaming pile of updates all at once, apparently related to Centos 7.1 release. Not thinking about it being April Fools Day, I immediately did: yum -v check-update, then yum -v update then rebooted. After reboot, there is a problem with the video. It seems to flicker when the mouse pointer touches the screen edges.

Almost everyone here has probably read this by now. If so, move along, nothing new here. But just in case you haven't, please take the time to read this. Here it is, in their own words: what Redhat thinks of Centos, and it's plans for the future of Centos. Can you read between the lines? In this case, it isn't very hard to do, IMHO. community.redhat.com/centos-faq

I did see your post. So, even though the sha256sum was perfect on the iso file and on the DVD, it failed to install. I then used a usb flash drive and booted the flash drive to do the install. It also failed. The screen image I took with my camera can be viewed at https://www.sendspace.com/file/4828ej The questions I have are: why VNC ??? VNC is a horribly insecure protocol. Why would I want

Please ... any info on how to proceed??? After I made sure it had the correct sha256sum, and after I burned it to DVD, and and dd'd the DVD back to a temp file and again checked the sha256sum of the temp file, all was OK. Same sha256sum. So, I rebooted the machine and it booted up from the DVD. I got a message that it was not using VNC, Then after that immediately an error came out saying

Thanks for the replies. 1) I always use the -n (--dry-run) option. Couldn't imaging not doing so! 2) I hate having to look up stuff like the trailing slashes each time. And trying to decide what to (--exclude), to -H or not to -H, etc. 3) I hate having to re-do #2 every time I want to do a small ad-hoc backup or synchronization, let alone a full filesystem backup. 4) I could do shut

Hi all, I am a non-technical guy (in some ways) & I did read the man pages but became no wiser. My main aim is to do backups between my hdd & an external 80 GB EIDE hdd. The filesystem is ext3 both on the hdd as well as have made ext3 partitions to the hdd. I have 2 use-cases really :- 1. take an image of my /home/shirish the first time (without the .something files) all the

When I do the date +%Z I get the timezone. Which currently is EDT. I am sending information to another system, that says EDT is not a valid timezone. I have no way to modify the other system. My question is - is there a way to get the non-day-lite savings time zone ? For example EST is valid - EDT is not. Just curious if there is an easy way already present to get a standard time zone. Thanks,
