[CentOS] gtk3 update causing havoc

On my lab systems, the automatic updates were failing because of the problems with ipod libraries from EPEL being in the way. It turns out that was a good thing, because when I "fixed" it, a massive set of packages was updated, including the new gtk3. These packages are the ones causing problems,

[CentOS] 6.2 install disk jumps to Gnome Partition Manager

Have you seen this problem? I downloaded CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1.iso verified the md5sum, wrote on a DVD, verified that against the iso. When I boot a computer with that disk, It does not present the usual Linux install menu, it jumps to a thing called Gnome Partition Manager, and that offers a

The bickering here about Centos 6 has made me wonder what is actually legally necessary to re-distribute the RPM files that come with RHel6. I am not starting a flame ware, I hope. I'm just curious about what is minimally necessary go from RHel6 to another distribution. I suppose we could discuss

I quit using Fedora a couple of years ago, largely because I felt as though I was being used as an SELinux guinea pig. I spent days and says trying to work around selinux problems, until I eventually just turned it off. I'm not a professional sysadmin, but I know many of them who think SELinux is

[CentOS] if you install cgi programs from rpm, how to configure for actual use in /var/www/html ?

In Centos 5.5, I've had this same experience over and over. I have no trouble installing CGI programs the old fashioned way (untar into /var/www/html and configure), but don't like un-rpm managed files floating about. So I can install, for example, phpMyAdmin, from EPEL. That phpMyAdmin RPM drop

In our computer lab, there are 6 Centos 5.4 workstations. There is an HP printer with jet direct card. It often works. But sometimes users come and get me saying the printer is broken, but it is actually working fine for *most* of the workstations. On the troubled system, I run system-config-prin

In Centos 5.3, a bad problem has surfaced in user land. We want to use either Evince or Adobe acroread as the pdf view, but the update of kdegraphics has somehow screwed up these systems so that the odious, horrible, awful pdf viewer kghostview is used. It is what you get when you doubleclick on p

I just noticed this problem in Centos 5.2. WHile editing a file in Emacs, one can print with the Postscript Print option from the pull down menu. However, the ordinary "print" option from the pull down menu, and the "printer icon" in the toolbar, cause nothing to happen. This is a new feature/bu

Today I installed the newest Centos I could find and encountered the old software problem. I couldn't find any third party repositories that have TexLive to replace tetex. Ii tried the Fedora version, but it calls for a different libpoppler. LyX in Centos is aged as well. As far as I can tell,
