CentOS

yum update has been failing recently. A package of mine (installed a year ago) needs /usr/bin/ksh For some reason the recent update to ksh breaks, I cannot see why. The last few lines of yum update are: --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/ksh for package: LetsEncryptManage-1.17-5.5.noarch --> Finish...

I have done all of that ... my post was mostly about me not being able to do that once network-scripts is removed.

I have just noticed that network-scripts is deprecated and I am being told to use Network Manager. This is a retrograde step. I use network-scripts on servers; once set up the network config never changes. The config files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ are nice & simple - just works. Network ma...

Please can we have this. I want, when using gpg, to get an in-line prompt in much the same way as with su or passwd.
Popping up a curses based dialogue (or even a graphical one) just get in the way.

Thank you

At the risk of just saying 'me too' - I find gnome3 almost unusable. I am using Mate where gnome3 is the default offering.

I looked at the wiki, it doesn't address my issue. How to ascertain the the 'good intent' of sources of software that are not in the standard list.

I do use the priorities plugin; although the purpose is to solve a different problem - a 3rd party repo not 'overwriting' a CentOS one.

I want a package that is not in a 'standard' CentOS repo. I can see it at rpmfind.net & centos.pkgs.org; but how much should I trust these sites ? I am looking at it from the point of view of security, ie that the RPMs have not been 'cooked' to contain some extra code to do something nasty like inst...

Thanks ... part of the problem with openvpn (indeed SSL in general) is that there are many files, sometimes with the same suffixes, and hard to work out which is what. Different bits of documentation seem to give them slightly different names/descriptions. I doubt that there is anything wrong with i...

I have some machines connected with openvpn, it has been happily working for several years. With the update to centos 6.9 it broke. It did not like the cipher that I was using, not enough bits, so I replaced: cipher BF-CBC with: cipher AES-128-CBC Now: every 2 seconds the server is telling me (date,...

I have it running under KVM under centos 6. I needed to reset the display height to avoid having an up/down scroll bar in vncviewer. I find that I needed to give it 2GB to get snappy performance. One thing that (for me) is a must have is a fixed grid of workspaces so that I run certain tasks in fixe...
