aide 0.14 init error
Hi,
Does anyone use aide from SL repo? It has version 0.14 and creates
corrupt initial database.
To reproduce the problem:
# yum install aide
# aide -i
# cd /var/lib/aide
# mv aide.db.new.gz aide.db.gz
# aide
Output is:
Error reading gzipped file: fd:5: buffer error
# gzip -t /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz
gzip: /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz: unexpected end of file
Relevant TUV bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574764
Solution:
- update to version 14-2 (fc14)
My workaround with this version:
- disable compression in /etc/aide.conf
-
diff -u /etc/aide.conf.orig /etc/aide.conf

Re: X11 server won't start after yum upgrade
Yes I use NetworkManager. nm-tool showed the interface but marked as disconnected. It also showed the usual set of wireless networks in range including my own router. ifconfig, iwconfig and iwlist showed what I expected (including 'iwlist wlan0 scan'). I did try to remedy the situation with iwconfig (aiming to follow it with dhclient) but could not make a successful connection. It may be I needed some additional argments to iwconfig: I did use the correct essid, key and access point. Now I'm back in business I can readily check that wpa-supplicant is running, but I did not check it while stuck in single user mode. - Original Message - From: zxq9 z...@zxq9.com To: scientific-linux-us...@fnal.gov Sent: Wednesday, 18 July, 2012 1:45:05 PM Subject: Re: X11 server won't start after yum upgrade On 07/18/2012 07:28 PM, Malcolm MacCallum wrote: I knew about and used ifup (the device is wlan0).

Using alternatives to select atlas-sse3
Hi, What is the best way to make programs link against the shared libraries supplied by the atlas-sse3 package instead of those from the atlas package? I could manually change /etc/ld.so.conf.d and re-run ldconfig, but I was hoping there might be a cleaner way. Thanks, Andy
