   I  really  have to thank you very much as it works  with  this
   module.   I  am surprised as in SL5 the "original" module  was
   working pretty well.

   About  icewm taking 60% CPU it was because the mailhost  where
   my  "MailBoxPath" was referring ha just changed ! So it is  OK
   now.

   I  still  have  to solve the xmodmap and xset  problem  (as  a
   workaround I run a cron to do it every hour).

   Thanks again for your help.

I show that version published:

It is not in:

and if one doesn't enable fastbugs then it would not be exposed ..

cheers, etc.

Hi

After an update to "docker-1.12.6-11.el7.x86_64" the service is unable to
start.

# systemctl start docker.service
Failed to start docker.service: Unit not found.

disable/enable/stop is working.

I see that the ending is "sl7" where the old package is "el7". What is the
SL changes. Anyone know how to fix this ?


it would just be a change in the dist tag appended to the release
number, and is not very important.

$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
Scientific Linux release 7.3 (Nitrogen)


$ rpm -qa --qf='%{RELEASE}\n'|grep -c 'el7'
1709

$ rpm -qa --qf='%{RELEASE}\n'|grep -c 'sl7'
25


Downgrading:
# yum downgrade docker.x86_64 2:1.12.5-14.el7 docker-common.x86_64
2:1.12.6-11.el7 docker-client.x86_64 2:1.12.6-11.el7
At is works again.


I see that docker-1.12.6-16.sl7.x86_64.rpm is now available, maybe
you can try it.  However the corresponding container-selinux package
requires policycoreutils >= 2.5-11.  That version of policycoreutils is
not yet published in the SL updates tree, but should appear soon - it
is in fastbugs, so you would need to enable fastbugs to update it.

That seemed to be it. Tried a different USB key and it worked!

Hi James,

How did you create your DVD?

Also, try using "dd" to create a bootable USB flash
drive.  The installation goes a lot faster.  You can also
use it to double check your DVD
