Re: [CentOS-docs] Fedora 26, what can be learned?
Greetings, - Original Message - > Fedora 26 is now available, what can CentOS EDU learn from it? What pray tell, is "CentOS EDU"? I did a web search for it and didn't find it. So far as what someone might be able to learn from Fedora 26... it isn't a RHEL release so probably nothing.

Re: [CentOS-docs] cciss solution for CentOS 7

The thread was a > start in the right direction, but I believe I've determined a better > workflow and feel that it would benefit the community to have this > published either in the release notes or on the Wiki. I have a couple of ProLiant G5 systems and I just built my own remix that includes the elrepo provided cciss driver... but hey, I'd like to use stock media and the info you provided if possible. The only thing is I don't remember what card is in the system as it has been a while since I originally set it up. I guess I could probably reboot it and pay very close attention to the POST info and maybe that'd tell me. lspci only lists it as: 06:00.0 RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array Controller (rev 03) lshw lists it as: *-storage description: RAID bus controller product: Smart Array Controller vendor: Hewlett-Packard Company physical id: 0 bus info: pci@:06:00.0 version: 03 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: storage pciexpress msix pm vpd bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=cciss latency=0 resources: irq:18 memory:fde0-fdef ioport:4000(size=256) memory:fddf-fddf0fff memory:d000-d003 How do I tell what make and model of RAID card it is?

Re: [CentOS-docs] How to install libquicktime on CentOS 7 in one (or two) line of command?
Greetings, - Original Message - Yeah, there are a lot of possibilities to my problem. But it is harder to verify a hypothesis than coming up with one. So, do you have any specific commands for the verification purpose? I'm not sure what you mean by specific commands for verification process. Step 1, delete the troubled package and erase it from your memory. Step 2, follow the instructions about adding a repository that has the multimedia stuff in it. PS: it's interesting to see that the installation thing on linux is in such a mess when recalling just a few years ago linux fans laughing at Microsoft Windows for its inconvenience of installing something, such as nowhere to found installer, contains virus, uneasy to manitain new version, including dependencies, etc, which are now a lot more serious on linux. What a irony. No, it just shows how unreasonable you are being regarding this particular topic. Basically you are sticking a fork in your eye and wondering why it feels like a fork has been stuck in your eye... and then blaming yum for not stopping you from sticking a fork in your eye. Again, if you have a poorly made, ancient package you could spin your wheels forever and never get it installed and working... so if you continue to ignore the suggestions of people actually trying to help you reach your goal... and continue on a tangential experiment... that fork is going to stay in your eye. More ironical is the fact that you think it is ironical. :) It is easy to screw up Linux as root if you do stupid stuff. Anyone with root access can kill any Linux distro by doing harmful things on purpose.

Re: [CentOS-docs] How to install libquicktime on CentOS 7 in one (or two) line of command?
Greetings, - Original Message - Thank you but what my question is looking for is a way to automatically install all dependencies of a rpm file, not just how to install multimedia things on CentOS. PS: after go over all steps in that page, I still got error: error: Failed dependencies: libquicktime.so.0()(64bit) is needed by libquicktime-1.2.4-31.el7.x86_64 As already mentioned, yum does dependency resolution and downloads any needed packages... however... (I'm guessing) the package you downloaded isn't really from a well-maintained repository specifically made for CentOS 7. It's not just up to the package manager but also the packager and the packages. If a package doesn't define its dependencies well or if it is old and depends on ancient versions of things that aren't around anymore, it isn't going to work. Use the repo mentioned and you'll most likely be successful. Pick some random rpm and not so much. Regarding libquicktime... what is it you are wanting to do? Encode video, play back video, or what? ffmpeg really is the king of the encoders and vlc or mplayer are the tops of playback mainly because they offer support for so many container formats and codecs.

Re: [CentOS-docs] Added BackupPC Guide
Max, Wow. Thanks for the BackupPC guide. I've looked at BackupPC a few times over the last couple of years but haven't gotten around to actually trying to deploy it yet because something always got bumped up in front of as being a more important task... mainly because the modest rsync/rdiff-backup setup was working well enough. Your guide will enable me to deploy in a more timely and productive manner when the time does come. Regarding the arch issues... I feel compelled to mention OpenVZ containers as a very good solution to the problem. Feel free to run x86_64 on the host node and then create x86_64 containers or i386 containers... whichever suites your needs... AND you can use the container to isolate the environment giving you a dedicated BackupPC server without having to dedicate a physical machine. Backing up, migrating, or cloning a BackupPC container would be very easy and you could even offer a pre-configured OpenVZ OS Template with BackupPC already installed and configured... well, as generically configured as possible.

[CentOS-docs] First version of OpenVZ on CentOS now avaiable
Greetings, I want to thank the CentOS Documentation Team for allowing me to create the new wiki page for OpenVZ on CentOS. I wrote it quite quickly today and I have to admit I this is my first wiki article and the syntax is completely new to me. As a result it is probably ugly. Any formatting help would be appreciated. Also, I should have proof read it better... and will do so when I have more time. My wife is making me go to the park with the children as well as to a magic show later today. :) Your suggestions would be appreciated. Oh, you can find it here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/OpenVZ Thanks, -- Scott Dowdle 704 Church Street Belgrade, MT 59714 (406)388-0827 [home] (406)994-3931 [work] ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
[CentOS-docs] I want to contribute to the wiki
Greetings, I just signed up on the CentOS Wiki as user ScottDowdle. I'd like to update one page and add a new page... so when a AdminGroup user notices and has the time to do the deed, please allow me the following: 1) Update - http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BrokenVserver I would like to add an explanation on why some VPSes do not include yum. I'm a long time member of the OpenVZ community and know the reason. 2) New Page - In the HowTos - Virtualization section - Installing and using OpenVZ with CentOS 5 Thanks in advance, -- Scott Dowdle 704 Church Street Belgrade, MT 59714 (406)388-0827 [home] (406)994-3931 [work] ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
