[CentOS] IRC telling you to go to mailing list - it's for good reason ....
Just to answer the aspect of why people in IRC tell you to go to a mailing list – because mailing list answers are more permanent that IRC, and also, it spreads the knowledge of the question, and the answer over a much wider time frame rather than just the two to three sentences that are involved in fixing your situation. It also notifies the mailing list which is generally watched by the devs/patchers/genius(is)/workaround guys/people from other distros/generally smart people – who could probably help you work through the problem, or at least direct you to a page that can. These days people treat IRC like a street market for info, there are no rules other than do not paste more than 3 lines! (pastebin is your friend) and you can say what you like to who you like, and log off, without so much as contributing to the community. … At least by coming to the mailing list, or at least searching the archives, the effort that had previously been exerted to answer the question the first 20 times on the mailing list, will not be wasted. IRC has been around for a long time, but unless the irc server is irc.(project domain name here).org then expect it to be staffed by volunteers and people who may not have the same focus as yourself. IRC is just one of a number of resources. It a good spot for instant relief, (think street hooker), but the mailing list is your wife! *disclaimer* I do not advocate the use of street hookers, nor do I discriminate/have any negative feeling towards against those who do, or indeed are ☺ - I just wanted to make a point! I think I made my point, all the resources are out there on the web, this is open source, we don’t pay for it, be glad with the system that has actually managed to evolve given the fact the only incentive has been to pass on knowledge. --- Latest Article :- The Puppet Module Tool The Puppet Apprentice :- http://puppetnewbie.blogspot.com Follow me on twitter:- http://twitter.com/mritguru Puppet #tags on twitter :- #puppet #puppetforge IRC :- itguru ON irc.freenode.org (feel free to say hi!) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS with Kernel 2.6.32 built-in
I have a Asus laptop, from the new generation, and my network driver is present in the kernel since version 2.6.32(Jmicron). Is there any CentOS with this kernel? I tried to compile myself, but I failed. Is a bit harder than I thought. Is there any testing version of CentOS or some backports?

OK, I'll try first on a virtual machine. 1. I've install linux mint, takes 800 MB ram. 2. Ubuntu 10.04 350MB ram but was crashing. 3. Fedora 13, good but installed a damn package and didn't launch anymore. 4. debian Testing(good kernel) but no touchpad or ati drivers. 5. back to mint, to make some researches.

RedHat (and thus CentOS) backports esentual drivers and patches. Even though the kernel version is 2.6.18 (CentOS/RHEL 5), it contains bits and pieces from newer kernels. There is also the elrepo repository, which contains a pile of additional kernel modules (drivers mostly) that RedHat does not build.

You can find if ELRepo has the driver for you by going to FAQ #4 at:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/FAQ
Run the command (one line):
for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1
}'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done
to get the the Vendor:Device ID parings. Then look through:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs
To see if yours is there.
Hope this helps.

If answered, it will turn out that there was some additional backstory such that the drive-by's queston was not well formed Second order answer: A 'serial' drive by is known by their 'nick' as such by the regulars who do the heavy listing in the change of adding substantive content, and as such, not treated as a priority to answer; Often we will see that 'nick' posting the same question as a cross-posting in parallel on several channels, or a referral to #centos from side projects of similar import or from forks (usually broken ones) unwilling to support their load, and so shifting it to us -- Russ herrold ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The Forum and the > bug tracker are also indexed but less often. Earlier last year, I noticed Google tended to pick up Forum posts than mailing list posts. To see if this was indeed the case, I searched for several terms in Google and compiled the results in my blog: http://blog.toracat.org/2009/02/search-is-on-getting-help-for-centos/ Sure enough, Google seems to like Forums better than the MLs. :-P Because that search was getting rather old (15 months ago), I repeated the same set of search yesterday. And the update is here: http://blog.toracat.org/2010/05/search-is-on-an-update/ Surprisingly, there were very few from the mailing lists in the first Google 50 hits. As I mentioned there, the objective of the search is not to compare which is more "popular" but simply to present the fact that, when people go to Google and do a simple search, they tend to see Forum posts. This in turn means we need to make sure there are no misleading or inappropriate answers. So, you can help there, too.

I'll admit that that is probably unlikely with an updated CentOS 5 and Seamonkey, but having been burned really bad, trying to cram CUPS into RedHat 7.2, I try to avoid tarballs unless they're part of a well-documented procedure such as that published by ATI (AMD) for their proprietary video drivers. Even then, I elect to create an RPM and install it. Old farts gather a lot of paranoias, Marc. Thanks for pushing me off TDC, though, and thanks even more for the "hung sound" info! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] IRC telling you to go to mailing list - it's for good reason ....

Interesting observation, but the forum content is additive, and so filled with blind alleys for a indexing engine that cannot distinguish supposition and mistake from authoritative content. Without the editor's pen to excise errors, we just have mass there; compare contra the wiki where there is at least the possibility of revision [What? R P Herrold liking some aspect of a wiki? Is there an impersonation?] and better (bug slower) feeding changes through the proper bug tracker [so that minor ephemeral edits to not get forgotten] into a long lived work (upstream 'man' and 'info' pages, the increasingly good upstream manuals) Also I see a lot of 'boilerplate' in first responses in the forums adminishing people to read the instructions, and welcoming people which has the effect of increasing bulk but not adding light. I do not see merit in the fact that Google, for example, has 15000 hits for: "site:centos.org welcome to the CentOS fora" ... and it is not at all clear that this is the correct plural to anyone but a pedant with a bit of grammar school Latin willing to confuse non-native speakers of English -- Russ herrold ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
