That's exactly the same thing that "ls -l /proc/*/fd/* | grep '(deleted)'" will do. So how is lsof better, exactly? I know. I'm frustrated

I have an ext4 filesystem for which the reported disk usage is not correct. I have noticed the discrepancy after I rsync-ed the content to another filesystem and noticed that the used space on the target is almost double of the size reported on the source. Both machines are running the same software - with the same kernel version and same coreutils version (which I later upgraded to latest

Today's ghostscript.x86_64 0:8.70-21.el6_8.1 update causes evince to refuse to display any postscript file. Running evince from a terminal session, I see the errors: invalidaccess -7 invalidaccess -7 invalidaccess -7 ** (evince:1252): WARNING **: Error rendering thumbnail Downgrading to ghostscript.x86_64 0:8.70-21.el6 corrects the problem.

Once the system gets into this state, the only remedy is a forced power-off. What seems to be happening is that an NFS filesystem that auto-mounted over a WiFi connection cannot be unmounted because the WiFi connection is enabled only for my login and gets torn down when my UID is logged off. Any suggestions on how I can configure things to avoid this? I really don't want to expose my WPA2

I just had the misfortune to press Shift-{print screen} accidentally while in a Gnome desktop, and the result was a completely unresponsive system where the only recovery was a power switch initiated shutdown. Further investigation shows the runaway creation of gnome-screenshot processes. System is CentOS 5.2 fully updated on an Intel i686. Suggestions about what component should receive the

I'm still not getting the firefox-38.1.1-1.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm that was announced yesterday (8 August) morning. I looked at several of the mirror sites I receive, and they all have the new firefox in their Packages directory, but their repodata is all a day older (7 August), so yum doesn't see the update. Example mirror: http://mirror.cs.uwp.edu/pub/centos/6.7/updates/x86_64/ -- Bob

Anyone managed to get a Windows 10 guest running well under qemu/kvm? I can get it up and running, but there is a major issue with losing use of the mouse, plus my display resolution is stuck at 1024x768. The mouse will work for a short time (a few seconds to a few minutes), but then stops responding. That's with the mouse coming in as the recommended QEMU tablet device. I can assign a USB

Hi, There was an update of glibc on CentOS 6 http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-January/020863.html and now: # needs-restarting 1 : /sbin/init How do i tell /sbin/init to use the updated files from glibc without a reboot? -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb

On any web page with an image, if i right-click on the image and select "Save Image As...", firefox crashes. Final messages from stderr: (firefox:3401): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system [Child 3502, Chrome_ChildThread] WARNING: pipe error (3): Connection reset by peer: file

When the installer complains that it has detected unsupported hardware, is there any way to tell just what it didn't like? Following the URL in the message just ends up at the RHEL Hardware Certification page, which isn't much help. The installer seemed quite willing to continue with the installation, and poking around from the shell VT I didn't find anything that didn't seem to

Hi All, I'm getting things ready to upgrade my aging installation of MySQL 5.0.95 on my CentOS 5 LAMP server. With the impending EOL date of 3.31 fast approaching my sense of doom and urgency is increasing. I see that the necessary packages are available in @base and @updates - mysql51 and mysql55 respectively but from all the information I've read on the matter so far I'm left with

Just want to verify: CentOS 5's FS utilities are too old to safely resize a *live* (mounted, etc.) root file system (and the CentOS 5 installer/rescue system does not include either resize2fs or fsadm utilities). I am presuming I will need a full-fledged Live CD/DVD to resize the root file system. This is for an old 32-bit laptop that presently has CentOS 5.11 on it -- I want to shrink

How do I let a CentOS 8 client make use of the shared printers advertised by CUPS on the network? In CentOS 6, this was just a matter in a checkbox "Show printers shared by other systems" on the CUPS Admin page. Is this function still available somehow? Manually adding all the shared printers on every client would be painful. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my
