We have several CentOS 6.x systems that are incorporated into suites of special test equipment.? One of the requirements for these systems is that they be kept up to date and they are kept up to date using yum once per week or more frequently, as needed. All of our CentOS 6.x systems have at least 2TB system disks and were installed with essentially everything that was available on the DVD at the

The currently available fix for Firefox doesn't work with ESR, but there's a temporary fix that works. At least, it's working for me: Go to about:config and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false. The Firefox folks say that a fix for ESR will be coming at some point, but at least this gets things working again in the short term. It's not clear to me if the fixed ESR (when

How do I best encourage maintainers to update the software they are responsible for in various repositories? Akema Yagi made sure kmod-jfs for CentOS 7 was updated amazingly fast which is greatly appreciated. On the other hand, I have requested updates of some other software packages and have heard absolutely nothing in months...

Frank, Interesting thank you I didn't realize that. It used to be supported I believe, and there is a lot of out of date 3rd party documentation floating around google that suggests it does. Well it's just that many enterprises have policies which state that only security updates should be installed, which I suspect is exactly why that feature is no longer supported.. Eric On Fri,

I'm trying to use Evolution on the latest CentOS 7. Whenever I try to receive or send mail, there's always a 90-second delay before the connection works. Since the delay is always exactly 90 seconds, I think I may be waiting for something to time out. Perhaps this is a clue. My address is user at example.com. I have to log in to pop.example.com or imap.example.com as user, not as user at

I have a laptop that hangs up on shutdown saying that at-spi-bus-launcher is still running. Since I have no use for at-spi-bus-launcher anyway, I would like to get rid of it, but attempting to remove the at-spi2-core rpm wants to remove 99% of my desktop as well. The only way that I can see to get rid of it is to make /usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher non-executable, but that's a pretty

I have set up a computer that's going to be hand-carried through several airports on the way to its final destination. This is the Lenovo laptop that I asked about earlier, where everything works well except for the touchpad that isn't recognized at all. (For the touchpad I'm just kind of hoping that a future kernel update will make it magically start working; for the time being the

We have some small networks with connectivity to the Internet through firewall routers.? The smallest has one Windows 7 system and three Linux systems including both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 machines.? The Windows 7 systems have full Adobe packages that are updated regularly and are trouble free. On the Linux systems, evince has been our go to product for viewing and printing .pdf documents.? This

Given a list of rpms on one system (rpm -qa > list.txt), is there a one-shot command that I can run on another system to remove all of the rpms not listed and add any that are on the list and not present on the second system? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

What is the best tool to compare file hashes in two different drives/directories such as after copying a large number of files from one drive to another? I used cp -au to copy directories, not rsync, since it is between local disks. I found a mention of hashdeep on the 'net which means first running it against the first directory generating a file with checksums and then running it a second

Back in the days of DOS I had a program that I obtained from somewhere called FILL. FILL would take the name of a directory and then start writing files from that directory onto a series of floppy disks in such a way that each disk was made as full as possible, but without modifying the files that it was writing. So you might end up with disk 1 having files A B and D on them since D fitted but C

Hi, I've been trying to install Zimbra Desktop 7 on CentOS 5.5 using the usual perl script provided. The issue is, I get a warning that my system does not have ia32 libs. I dug a bit on google and found out that 'there is no such package as ia32 libs for Centos'. I also tried all the suggested work arounds like glibc & stuff, can anyone shed more light on this? Oh, the zimbra

The specs may have certain dependency on subset of 6.3 packages, but not for all other packages/binaries, as I mentioned earlier. So, to keep things rather intact, we would simply meet requirements by only updating "selected packages only". And, for now, that should be considered intermittent solution until we can safely land to a proper job as you mentioned. So, would there be any
