I've had two centos smtp relays setup since 5.1, and it seems every day there are updates, and about every 3 months new minor releases.Is there a way to "lock" to a minor release version of centos? I use yum update to run updates, is that the correct process?
View 2 RepliesWhy does centos-release-notes have any dependancies ?
I can see no reason why centos-relese-notes should depend on centos-release when I try "yum erase centos-release-notes" I am told there are 72 dependancies including completely irrelevant packages such as tar all because of this unnecessary dependancy.
The centos-release-notes package simply contains a bunch of text/html files that nothing else relies upon, so why the dependancies ?
I've installed CentOS 5.3 on a machine, and I need a Samba version 3.2 or higher. Since 3.4 is out, I thought I'd grab that. But, "yum list|grep samba" gives me only version 3.0.33. Is there a package of Samba I can grab that will upgrade the 3.0 installation so that I don't have two laying around? If not and I need to compile from source, do you have any suggestions for what arguments I should give configure? I'm not used to Linux coming from the BSD world

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm quite new to Linux/CentOS. I installed LAMP from official CentOS repositories and I'm wondering why the PHP (5.1.6) or MySQL (5.0.77) versions are so old. Why there is now the latest versions available.
Is it recommended to use these versions or should I update to the newest one - if so could you plesae provide me some links to official repositories&tutorials.
As I use a (CentOS) Linux computer and a Windows XP PC side by side, I decided to install Synergy, a software to use one computer's mouse and keyboard on neighboring computers too.However, Add/Remove Software installed Synergy Plus 1.3.4-1 instead. That mostly works... Except there's a known bug on Synergy, see bug 2955158: if you use Synergy Server on CentOS to control the Windows computer, as soon as you touch the keyboard when focus is in Windows, it freezes. (I can still ssh into CentOS, but its GUI is unusable.)
Well, Synergy-Plus 1.3.4 inherited that bug. That makes it, for that purpose, useless.So I uninstalled Synergy-Plus and tried to install the lower version, Synergy 1.3.1-7, as per the recommendation in the comment on that bug report, except: I ended up with Synergy-Plus 1.3.4 again.I tried again from the command line, using yum, to no avail: yum told me Synergy 1.3.1-7 was obsolete and replaced by Synergy-Plus.I had to exclude Synergy-Plus from installation with yum, with "-x 'synergy-plus-*'", to finally get Synergy 1.3.1-7.
There, I don't have this problem. I do think that making people upgrade to Synergy-Plus 1.3.4 is a mistake.It's still not perfect. With Windows as the Synergy server (and using the Windows keyboard), if I try to type a ">" (on an AZERTY keyboard), it types "�" instead); and I seem to have an issue to copy text from Windows into CentOS.With the roles swapped, using CentOS as the Synergy server and with the CentOS keyboard, I can copy from Windows. I'm still not sure what is the cause of this.
I managed to install xdebug from pecl, using the php-pear package from Centos base.

Has anyone managed to get a later version of PEAR running on Centos please?
I have just 4 minor things with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
1) Sometimes the disk checker runs at startup. Why does it take so long to finish? On the previous version of Ubuntu, it was a quick check, but now on version 10.04 it takes AGES just to check the disk!
2) Why do some programs like Kega Fusion only play sound if you run it on its own with no other programs open? Try the Linux version of Kega Fusion with and without other programs open: [URL]
3) Who do I ask if I would like a hardware device supported? I have a SIM card reader (Veho VSD-229) and I can only use it in Windows to back up my SIM card contacts.
4) Last question. Is there a Ubuntu "wishlist" anywhere?

We have a linux server (centos 5.2 final), with postfix smtp server, webmin, usermin and sugar crm
We need to backup all the data, and then perform a restore on a clean machine, without any OS installed yet.
I look into many pages that says that doing a backup on linux it's as easy as pack all the files in a .TAR file. Unpacking the tar will restore the system to it's original state. Also, i'm confused because if we perform a backup and mysql has active connections, perhaps the database would be inconsistent or corrupted. In the restore step, do i need a live CD in order to boot up linux command prompt? �Can it be from any linux version, or only centos version?
I have Centos 5.3 on our server When I log-in in webmin I have a message "Warning - Your system is actually running CentOS Linux version 5.3."

If I do, is it going to change any configuration on our server?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had a system lock up recently, running RHEL4, and had no choice other than to powercycle as I could not log on at the console or remotely.
When booted, the machine ran, I could log on remotely and apache started up, but the system locked up again when I logged on to the console with X.
I suspect that the X configuration and/or the NVIDIA monitor driver was messing things up and I took the opportunity to migrate to CentOS 5.3.
How can I determine what happened? I still have the /var/log files when the system locked up including messages, boot.log, Xorg.0.log, etc.
I _SUSPECT_ that what messed up X and thus the system was the NVIDIA driver that I downloaded to get X to work on the console monitor, a SUN AI24PO. X would not work with this monitor and any of the default drivers that came with my RHEL4 disks.
I really hesitate to use connect this same SUN AI24PO monitor again but still, I only have a suspicion that the monitor/NVIDIA driver were the reason the system locked up.
The graphics card is a GeFORCE FX5200
Were the lockup problems a result of the monitor/NVIDIA driver?
Normally Ctrl-Alt-L or clicking on "Lock Session" works, but as of the past couple of days when I do these, nothing happens. What could be wrong?
I also tried 'sudo kdesktop_lock' and 'sudo kdesktop_lock --forcelock' to no avail.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've googled for the answer to this but every thread has the same answer "don't log in as root". For once I'd like an actual answer to the question if possible. All of the jobs that I run are all through the root account and I'm constantly using ssh into other workstations and servers to change config files or whatnot. I'd like to be able to lock the screen when I take short breaks or head out for the day while being able to leave jobs running. For example I am currently backing up a server onto another one and would prefer not having to stop the jobs when I leave for the day(there's over 400GB to move).

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it just me, or has 'lock screen' stopped working in a recent update? I updated my install today and after rebooting I can't lock the screen... the screen saver doesn't lock it and if I select 'lock screen' manually from the menu then... nothing happens.
I even created a new user in case there was something weird in my configuration, but logged in as them I can't lock the screen either.
This is obviously a bit of an issue in an office environment as I don't want to have to log out every time I leave my desk.
I want to lock the filesystem based on user basics, In effect only specific users should have write access. This need to done apart from normal permission setup.
In Detail:
filesystem: /app
application users: appuser1 & appuser2
Normal users: user1 user1
Required: Only app users need to have write permission over app file system, this should done apart from the normal directory permissions. The all other users can able to view the contents even though other users have write permission based on permissions.
This need to done by over ridding the normal permission setup.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFor the sake of security, I want the screen to be locked after the system is resumed from suspend or hibernation. Now the only way I can do this is to check the options "Lock screen when screen saver is active." in the screensaver preference. But this method is annoying since I have to type the password to quit the screensaver. Is there other way to do this? Thanks.

I've only used Linux for about a year or two now and have worked through suspend esume and WPA wireless issues with CentOS and my T61p. However, I'm stumped on this one. why my T61p freezes randomly (happened once while writing this topic) with the caps lock light blinking. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my nVidia driversettings andor using my wireless card and/or switching between home wwireless and work wwired connection.

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.3 on a VMWare virtual machine running VMWareServe 1.0.4 build-56528. I have 8 virtual machines that are running some older kernel (RH FedoraCore 4) without any trouble. My system has an AMD Athlon XP 1800 processor and has 1G RAM. Every time during the installation after choosing skip media (I have already checked that the media is OK) I get a kernel OOPS and the capslock and scroll lock keys start blinking. My first guess was that this could be a ACPI issue, so I have disabled ACPI using the acpi=no boot option. The problem persists with the acpi=no option set. During the boot install process, I have seen some messages like this one
ACPI Exception (processor_core-xxxx): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [xxxxxxxxx]
I have searched for this issue and found a RedHat Bug 435653 that reports this same issue, but this report is somewhat old, so i think that this issue as already been fixed and reflected to upstream. I have tried also to install using the text mode installation, but the same problem. To further isolate this problem, i have avoided the hardware detection and this was the first time that i have overcome the first screen (test media screen), as i have choosen with the success the language and the keybord layout. After choosing the beyboard layout, the kernel OOPS shows up again. On the screen 4 (debug screen) I don't see any relevant messages.
I've faced the problem with server freeze on heavy write.
