Hi all. I'm using a CentOS 6.8 VM to do volunteer builds for an open source project. I want to build Pale Moon with a gtk2 library older than 2.24, to allow people with older linuxes to run it. Short summary, if built against version gtk2-2.24 and/or higher, the binary will use a function that does not exist in gtk2-2.23 and lower. Net result is that the program dies with an

I'm running a CentOS 6.5 chroot to build Pale Moon (a Firefox fork) for older machines running distros like Puppy linux. Before anyone asks... * Yes, even though the older machines are using "ancient" glibc, etc, they do have security patches back-ported, e.g. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90461 "Lucid Puppy Revitalized as 5.2.8.7 - December,

Yes David, I'm using a release 32 of Firefox to reach my olds C6100 IDRAC7 interface. The problem is for latest Firefox versions as they require libgtk-3 not available in Centos6/RHEL6 distribution. Today I use a very very bad solution to reach my switch with latest firmware version from the latest Firefox available in CentOS: I disable https and use http.... Even if it is on a private

The program I'm using is 4NEC2, a freeware antenna-modelling program. I'm running wine-0.9.61 on Gentoo Linux on a Dell with Intel Core Duo cpu. Let's say I'm working on a design that I call "fubar". 4NEC2 will create files with names like "fubar.NEC" and "fubar.log". 4NEC uses Notepad to open the files for viewing. For some reason, my system

Hello, I would like to install CentOS 7.3 on my new Lenovo M900 machine. I am using the official 1 DVD installer. The installation process was fine without any error but after reboot the USB keyboard and the USB mouse did not work. Therefore I was not able to type anything or pass the first boot screen. Only the power button is working. Any idea why? I believe the installation media is using the

I am a website developer. We deploy a Nginx server on centos to provide HTTP services. Recently, some customers of our website were complaining about that occasionally they could not open the webpage, the web browser show that the tcp connection was reset. I checked the Nginx logs and source code and found that the function "recv" return 0 when some customers made HTTP requests. Our

I have CentOS7 32-bit x86 AltArch in a VM. Following advice I found on Google, I tried stuff like "sudo yum install centos-release-scl" and "sudo yum install epel-release". They came back with...

I am currently building the latest Firefox updates and I have noticed that they have upgraded the CentOS-7 Firefox from the ESR tree (45.8) to the mainline tree (Currently firefox-52.0). They have left EL5 and EL6 at the ESR level (45.8.0-2).

What are the chances that a package such as vlc from http://videolan.org/vlc would become included in extras? so a yum install vlc would work. Thanks, Jerry

I see a package "x246-0.120-5.20120303.el6 (i686)" available in my Add/Remove Software tool. I can't find said package in any of the repos I've searched through. Can anyone point me to a link where I can download that package to my local repo? -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****
