[CentOS] matplotlib pygtk version problem
Hello, Anybody a solution for the following problem: the matplotlib library for Python in Centos 6.3 crashes my application because of a deprecated PyGtk2 version. Can be easily reproduced: installation of python 2.6.6 with matplotlib Type in the python shell: from pylab import plot plot([0,1],[0,1]) Error: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py:621: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip self.tooltips = gtk.Tooltips() self.tooltips = gtk.Tooltips() Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked Aborted (core dumped) Looks like it has to do with the ridiculous old PyGtk version 2.16 which should be >2.2 for matplotlib any solutions?

I agree. When first trying to configure sendmail years ago, I remember how
painful it was. "Giving birth to a flaming porcupine", comes to mind.
Postfix is about as easy as I was always thinking sendmail should be.
Now if only they'd do something like that for BIND...

Thanks for that answer Jake. I think I've installed each seperate package for C5 now from EPEL. I'll bear the above in mind when I upgrade to C6.

[CentOS] Extending schema on Centos DS
I am running CentOS DS server (version 8.1.0) in a mixed master setup. I am looking for the best way to extend the schema without breaking replication? I was successfully able to extend the schema on my two servers manually but replication broke after a restart of dirsrv.

Replication is aborting.

[CentOS] iptables 1.4 and kernel 2.6 CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_STATE
Hi, I have a VPS running Centos 6.2 and trying to run this iptables rule: [root@myserver ~]# iptables -A INPUT -i venet0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. Narrowing down the issue it seems there is no IP_CONNTRACK support but now it's called NF_CONNTRACK. However following this link: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter/msg33535.html I have found that I don't have CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_STATE support. Unfortunately this virtuozzo VPS is not using modules: [root@vrtl13369 ~]# lsmod Module Size Used by How can I enable that CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_STATE support in my kernel? I prefer to stick to the kernels provided by the repos and not recompile my own kernel. Regards, Miguel ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
