There's a mistake in HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey , so I'd like to ask that someone fix it, or that I be given editing rights. The mistake is that in the section on CentOS 6, step 8, the correct command is "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (only). Also, although this isn't a mistake, I'd like to suggest mentioning in step 1 that the reason why part of the USB key has to be formatted

I'd like to ask for permission to edit HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey. There was a recent forum thread on using Windows tools to create an installation USB (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=44268&forum=55). I'd tried some suggested tools; see post no 20 in the thread. I'd like to edit the Wiki to reflect my results. Yves -- Yves

I have a UEFI system, but I want to install CentOS on a MBR (not GPT) hard disk. The installation program keeps telling me that I must create an "EFI system partition on a GPT disk mounted at /boot/efi". I can't find a way to work around this. Is there a solution? -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca>

I've installed CentOS 7 with the latest kernel from elrepo (4.11.8), and I can't get Grub to install. I think I'll have to conclude that it really

I have a new system with an AMD Ryzen 1600 CPU and I'm trying to run CentOS, so far without success. The only information I could find was a post reporting that CentOS 7 would crash during installation on a Ryzen system: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61831 . I tried updating to the latest elrepo "mainline stable" kernel, version 4.11 (by booting from a live CD and

I have been using the KeePassX password manager on CentOS 6 and 7 for some time and it works pretty well. On my Windows machine I use KeePass which offers a number of features missing from KeePassX, I also sync the database between several machines, including Android units where I use keepass2android. Database compatibility is thus required. KeePassX, however, does not seem to be maintained any

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.

Yves thank you very much for your help, today I tried newer drivers but the problem persists. So I think it is hardware problem. Since the laptop is still in warranty I will probably contact the manufacturer. My only worry is that they would not accept it since I am running Linux (the laptop came with Windows - and I am not sure if the problem would be also present on Windows). Do you think there

Right, the problem seems to arise if you already have partitions on your MBR disk. Perhaps Fred Smith can confirm this. > What is the partition table

If you read https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/sect-disk-partitioning-setup-x86#sect-bootloader-mbr-gpt-x86 carefully, it seems to say that if you have UEFI and an MBR

If I remember correctly, when version 5.3 was released, about 95% was made available by BitTorrent before the official release date, so that the entire file would be available as soon as possible after the release.

Is there any decision about the donation programme? The Web page still says: "If you are looking to make a cash dontation to the CentOS Project, please check back here after August 15th, 2009."

The hardware is 6 years old and, at the time, Tech Report called it "the best netbook we've ever tested". So it was quite good (for a netbook) at the time. Everything depends on the OP's

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

I forgot to write that the dots start to appear only inside "Desktop Environment" (in my case Gnome), not for example in grub/bios. Today I tried to install ubuntu 16.04 and the green dots appeared there too (in Unity).

I had CentOS 6 installed on an MBR hard disk. I converted the disk to GPT (with UEFI) and installed CentOS 7 on a new partition. CentOS 7 itself seems to work properly. Grub from CentOS 7 automatically created an entry for CentOS 6, but I get an error if I try to boot CentOS 6. The menu entry is: menuentry 'CentOS release 6.10 (Final) (on /dev/sda7)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu

I finally decided to move from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7, but was surprised to see that kmail is no longer included: Red Hat deliberately decided to omit it. How can I ask that kmail be added to EPEL?
