similar to: Still unsure of the Dag Repos for CentOS 3

I should change this to OT, as it's not really CentOS related. I had a post on the list last week asking how the rpmforge rpm was to be implemented in yum. Craig White was kind enough to list how his yum.conf is appended, I assume after he installed the rpm. Unfortunately, mine is not appended with these lines. I am running CentOS 3. I will add these lines manually, and probably remove

I'm running CentOS 3 and have just installed a Liteon lightscribe DVD/CD unit. I firstly realized I didn't know exactly how to mount it, as /dev/dvd didn't exist, I didn't want to generate anything if it already existed, and I didn't want to mess up my cdrom unit that works just fine. I mounted the device though the X window just to see how it might mount, and find that it

I read a few days back on the list where the tzdata rpm was to take care of the new DST rules. I run CentOS 3 servers, and did a 'yum update tzdata' , but received a 2006a update of the rpm. Is this proper? It sure didn't fix anything. Thanks Steve Campbell campbell at cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

Sorry for the extra info required, but I had digest mode turned on and wouldn't have received the mailing till tomorrow. I have since updated the data manually, but after 'yum update tzdata' was run, the zdump -v for EST5EDT and America/New_York all still showed a date of April 1, instead of March 11. After manually fixing, it is correct. This was mostly a question about why yum

I tested moving a box from Tao 1.0 to CentOS 3.7. All went well, as far as I can tell, with the OS upgrades, but I needed to rpm -ivh --force the desktop-* stuff. This was a minor thing to fix for no real purpose other than to just be doing it. I still get, though, the Tao screens when the graphic login screen appears. I have changed the Application->Settings->Login Screen->

Mr. Parsley, the main man at the Tao Linux group, has announced that he will no longer be able to do his thing for Tao Linux. Just recently, I had decided to investigate CentOS 4 before his announcement, and liked a lot of what I saw. Due to the Tao announcement, I have decided that CentOS will "have" to be the OS for my company in the future. Hence, my new membership to this list.

Getting in late on this one, but if I didn't need to spend money, couldn't spend money, or what ever the reason may be, and the aliasing was something that needed changing on a schedule, then why not just set up multiple alias files, run cron to replace them when needed, and "newaliases", all in cron scripts? You would need to maintain as many versions as required, but sounds

I have just noticed what appears to be a problem with my CentOS 3.7 servers shutting down. I have Netgear FA312 NICs in some of my DELL PowerEdge 700 servers and this particular NIC has WOL ability. I cannot turn this off in the BIOS or limit the error responses. When I do a "halt", the server goes only as far as closing the ethernet card and stops, resulting in a hardboot being

Hi all I've just installed CentOS 5.1 x64, from the 1st CD (minimal installation) and then tried to install Apache, but keep on getting this error: [root at cacti ~]# yum install apache Loading "installonlyn" plugin Repository centosplus is listed more than once in the configuration Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos,

I am trying to get the x86_64 isos of CentOS-5.2. I wish to use bittorrent. The last time that I did this I required the bittorent package from Dag's repository. I have configured /etc/yum.repos.d/DagWieers.repo thus: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/

How come rpmforge.repo wants to install a whole slew of perl modules, yet if I leave rpmforge.repo out of the update process, none of the perl modules shows up? Here's the rpmforge.repo file.. do any of yall see anything wrong with anything in there? Sam # Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 5 - dag # URL: http://rpmforge.net/ [rpmforge] name = Red Hat Enterprise

Dag in the thread about kvirc, I had pointed to dries repo, based on a list of repos I use *now*, that replaced your repo with rpmforge. This based on an instruction earlier that I should use rpmforge instead. So when I run my "yum --enablerepo=\* list...", it did not show your repo contents. Should I be including *both* rpmforge and dag? TIA Bill -------------- next part

hello list.. I am sharing a yum configuration in a class (centos.pp) between two nodes. But the yum configuration doesn''t apply at all to one node even tho it does to another identically configured node. ## packages are failing to install via yum on one ec2 aws instance and another identical ec2 instance works fine [root@kromep2 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.5 (Final)

A bit of a new guy around these parts... I've done a bit of looking, and haven't found any newbie-friendly instructions on how to add the Dag repository to my CentOS4 box. Could somebody help me out and point me in the right direction? Thanks... -- --- David Woyciesjes

Hi: I have a mirror of dag repository (http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/) in my intranet which is used by other servers to install/update rpms. I installed on every remote server the rpmforge rpm, edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo to fit with my intranet mirror, but when I run yum, I get this error: #yum -c rpmforge.repo search nagios Warning, could not load sqlite, falling back to

is rpmforge now considered 'friendly' with EPEL? I normally only use EPEL as an addition repo, but one package I want to install on this one system is ffmpeg, and I'm finding it on rpmforge only... but its install wants to mix epel and rpmforge packages... Installing: ffmpeg x86_64 0.6.5-1.el6.rf rpmforge 2.7 M Installing for dependencies: a52dec

I'm having the same problem as Valent Turkovic. I have the following /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo (mind the line-wraps): [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch= $basearch&repo=os #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

Dear CentOS Community Is totally clear there's no support to Centos 4 platform today, but I need to install some packages -ideally- from repositories, so I'll be glad if someone can provide me still working ones, (obviously non-official). If isn't possible I'll move on CentOS5, but (initially) keeping current PHP and MySQL versions. In both cases, I'll need working CentOS4

Greetings all. I just enabled all repos on my system, to enable me to find a particular package. This is the first time I have noticed all the Centos repos < 5.6 being listed. Is this a new feature, to include all repos pre 5.6 now? Here's the output of the aforementioned yum command - sorry it's a little bit long: [root at karsites ~]# yum --enablerepo '*' --disablerepo
