[CentOS] trying to get amavid to work on centos 7

The first fails with: geany-1.26-1.el6.x86_64 requires libgeany.so.0()(64bit) geany-1.26-1.el6.x86_64 requires geany-libgeany = 1.26-1.el6 and the second with: geany-libgeany-1.26-1.el6.x86_64 requires geany = 1.26-1.el6 which seems catch-22. Would you happen to have both of them installable? Install both geany and geany-libgeany at the same time and it will work. As an aside, it would be great if both of these packages were in EPEL so a simple yum update could work. That I have no control over. If they made it available then I probably wouldn't bother duplicating the effort. As stated at the top of my webpage, it is just stuff that I use that can't (easily) be found elsewhere. Frank, I am working on trying to get the geany plugin library to work but have run into a problem because the file geany.pc is not found. My understanding from the geany list is that it should have been installed. It does not seem to have been installed by your two packages - do you know where it can be found?

It is part of geany-devel, which I apparently didn't bother saving and posting on my webpage for el6, since I didn't compile the plugins for el6 either.. Just compile the geany source rpm that you see on my el6 page and you'll get a geany-devel rpm. I don't use el6 any more myself for my desktop machine so geany isn't particularly interesting to me on that platform any more. I do have geany, geany-devel and all of the geany plugins available as binary rpms on my el7 webpage, though that's probably not a lot of help to you. Be sure that you compile the source rpm on the el6 page if you're compiling for el6 since that includes a patch which is neither required or included in the el7 source rpm. The el7 source rpm (which is really just the Fedora 23 source rpm) won't compile on el6 as-is, which I discovered when I tried to compile it, and which is why I wrote the patch so it will work. If you have trouble compiling the el6 geany source rpm let me know and I will compile it for you and make geany-devel available. There appears to be little demand for it, though, since you're the very first person to ask about it, ever. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] C-Media CM8828 [CentOS 7]
Basically I will be needing a low profile PCIe sound card with optical out. There isn't a hell of a lot of selection, seems the assumption is if you need sound it is on the motherboard. That one has PCIe and a low profile bracket, but it uses the C-Media CM8828 chipset. My understanding that chipset is only supported in 3.17+ kernels, CentOS 7 uses 3.10.x A) By any chance, has the been back-ported in CentOS kernel? B) If not, does anyone know of a 3rd party repo that has it as a kernel module built against CentOS kernel? I suspect B is no because it looks like the patches were to ALSA driver itself and not a new module. I'd prefer not to have to run a custom kernel because of updates. Anyone know the status of that chipset in CentOS 7? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Isn't DVD1 a bootable iso and, along with DVD2, a comprehensive package set? I.e., if you have DVD1 (and ideally 2) why would you do a netinstall? The Centos-7 netinstall iso at least does give an option for using a cd/dvd based iso as the package source, but the default is one of a range of network based options. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Run Now no longer works in Messages Filters of Thunderbird 38.6
Did you had the chance to verify what is the selection of the "run selected fukter(s) on:" if it states "choose a folder" then it's a good reason to not be able to use the "run now". It's a degradation from my point of view.

No, unetbootin is pretty unreliable. I've actually not had it work reliably with Fedora ISOs since forever, but I mainly use (U)EFI systems is possibly why, but it doesn't appear to rewrite the bootloader stuff correctly at all. At this point I've totally given up on it. Fedora liveusb-creator ought to work. But... And it's also currently undergoing a rewrite.

OK I just ran the CentOS 6.7 netinstall ISO in gnome-boxes and it's not the graphical anaconda that I'm used to with Fedora. There's an "installation method" and it has Local CD/DVD selected at the top, but that clearly needs to be set to URL or it's simply not a netinstall. And then you need to give it a URL for a mirror, like this: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/centos-6-netinstall-network-installation/ This is preconfigured in Fedora for their netinstalls.

"shell" is a yum command, invoked as shown below. I don't believe there is any program called "yum-shell" (even though that is the man page reference). shell Is used to enter the 'yum shell', when a filename is specified the contents of that file is executed in yum shell mode. See yum-shell(8) for more info. SYNOPSIS yum shell [filename] The contents of the file need to be standard yum-acceptable lines.

However, yum shell pkginstalllist.file where you have prepended "install " to each line (and I believe added "run" at the end) of that file would seem to be likely to work. A simple vi or perl search/replace edit/one-line script should get you the input file you need. Since you have an interest in this I'll let you read the man page and do the experimenting. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
