Re: [CentOS] abrt relevance?
Ted Miller wrote: > At the moment I guess I'll settle for "chkconfig abrtd off" I've probably misunderstood completely, but whenever I use the CentOS-7 KDE LiveCD (on a USB stick) to install CentOS, I get an abrt warning, and advice to run "sudo abrt-cli list --since 1405637319" This produces a report in /var/tmp/abrt/oops-2014-07-15-15:00:26-561-0 which seems quite interesting to me, and probably very informative to a guru. It seems to be describing some sort of kernel crash, with backtrace of the final state. Assuming this is what abrtd is responsible for, it would appear to me quite useful, even if noone at RedHat is interested. But as I said, I have probably misunderstood the whole thing. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I am using the tarball for firefox and it notifies me when an update is available and ask if I want to install it. If I say yes it downloads it untars it and starts it up. So far it has worked great.

Here's the link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20EPEL Or you can get to the right place by clicking to file a "New" bug on the top menu bar, selecting "Fedora" and then "Fedora EPEL". Then file your bug report against amavisd-new in the "Component" box. They will be interested to receive bug reports from ALL users, regardless if genuine or clone (RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux etc).

As for anjuta, it's available in Fedora. That seems to be the closest you can get.

[CentOS] [OT] Leveno HDD caddies
This is very off topic but, I have no idea where else to ask. We obtained some used Leveno CTO7483 desktop units for experimentation. I had intended to install CentOS-7 on one of them. As they arrived with a vendor upgraded Windows 7ProSP1 install without media I decided to pull the disk drive and install onto a spare drive that I installed. Those of you with any experience with this model computer or its family can tell where this is going. Basically, the disk drive module for these things is disposable. The HDD is enclosed in a removable caddy but is welded to it. You can only replace the HDD with a pre-mounted HDD in yet another caddy, which item is available only from Leveno. My question is: Does anyone here know of a source for an after-market caddy that fits these machines ad which allows one to install a standard low profile 3.5 inch SATA HDD? My google-fu has failed in my attempts, but that may becuse I have no idea how to phrase a search for this situation. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

[CentOS] Initial Boot from 6.3 minimal halts with strange video display
I am using a Leveno M58 (model CTO7483 from 2008) for C6/7 experimentation purposes. The thing has a dual core and ~4Gb RAM with a (newly installed) 500GB HDD. I successfully installed CentOS-6.5-minimal from a freshly burned, and verified, DVD from and ISO image whose SHA has been checked and passed. everything about the display was normal throughout that process. When the system boots from disk then I get the normal display up to the point that the kernel is selected (whether by hand or automatically). I can edit the kernel command line and otherwise use the pre-boot selector facility. After that point the monitor, a BenQ 17" LCD, immediate goes into what I can only describe as a psychedelic snow field with two narrow black bands surrounding a broader white band displayed at the top of the screen and a single narrower black band at the bottom. I have tried booting into RL3 by appending a 3 to the end of the kernel command but this has not apparent effect on the outcome.

I've found that the easiest way is to package your software and use software like 'mock' (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock) to build the software for other platforms. Mock builds the software in a chrooted shell built up using the packages for that distribution, so you it'd use CentOS6's GCC, boost, cmake and glibc. -- Jonathan Billings ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If so, lspci will probably tell you. Or lshw.

[CentOS] a kickstart question
Not having much luck googling I'm working on our ks.cgi, and in the case that we're using gpt, I know that kickstart can't, natively, use gpt yet. However, it is my impression that clearpart --initlabel --none --drives=$DISK would wipe the GPT label. (Plus, googling, I find that initlabel is deprecated). Am I wrong about initlabel? And is there any point in using clearpart, if we've got got to use parted to put a gpt label on the drive, and partition it? Should I just make that line go away? mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I understood what you wrote. But as I pointed out in my first message on this subject I had already specified RL3 on the kernel command line and that did not change the behaviour. So, no I cannot get the system up to the point that I can run anything, or at least see whatever output is created by whatever I might be able to run. But, as this is an experiment box I do not need a dedicated graphics card in it. So, having been prompted the open the case to discover the make of video card, I tried the (to me) obvious course of action to simplify things. Which worked to the extent I require. The removed video card looks like some sort of oem job with no obvious (to me) brand or manufacturer markings. I cannot tell the chip maker because the processor is covered by a fan and heat sink. It is a half-height, full-length PCI card with a marking that looks like a V followed by two 'C's one inside the other, followed by an I. The word TOPSEARCH is also present. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

If it would build easily with Centos6's native tools, I wouldn't be asking the question...I think it was originally built on Centos5 but with locally compiled up-rev gcc/boost/cmake versions and delivered with some alternative .so's and a scheme to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Aside from not knowing the exact build environment it expects, I was hoping it could be done in a more standard way. It turns out that it does build on Centos7 - which I guess doesn't really help when the runtime target is 6. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
