cernlib for SL 6x

2012-11-21 Thread Ken Teh
What do folks do about installing the cern program libraries for SL6? I see that they only have pre-built binaries for SL5. Are you building them from source or is there an semi-official repo you can get them from? Thanks!

When swap partitions are created with fdisk, there's a t option that is used to set the partition type. If swap partitions are created with mkpart in parted, the FS-TYPE can be included in the command. I'll bet if you change the scriplet to create the swap partitions with the Linux swap

well its really dependant on what video card and driver you are using. for example the proprietary nvidia driver has a gui that can adjust the display mode and resolution without restarting X fairly easily but there is no such option with the free nvidia driver. On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 1:32 PM,

dist macro

2012-11-21 Thread Orion Poplawski
It appears that SL packages are being built with a different dist rpm macro than is in the sl-release package. e.g.: postgresql.x86_648.4.13-1.el6_3 sl-security But the dist macro in sl-release-6.3-1 is still el6, not el6_3. So when I build an updated package locally it has a

This is the second selinux-policy update within a couple of days, and both were promoted from enhancement to security. That's a major pain in the rear. Why do these have to land on all systems? - Stephan On Nov 21, 2012, at 17:40 , Pat Riehecky wrote: Synopsis: Low: selinux-policy

I can't figure out what causes this error. I can fix it by regenerating the server key on the system I'm trying to connect to and restarting sshd but that seems to be temporary as the same problem comes back in a week or so. Rebooting the server does not fix it. Does anyone know what that

What does the output of ssh -vv hostname give you? and what does /var/log/secure say on the server side? Permission denied could be a number of things (time not in sync, PAM configuration right, or other stuff. without knowing the server and client sshd_config and ssh_config respectively it

Hi Joe, Did you look at the sshd_config file? I ran into a similar error output but it may not necessarily be the same issue you're having. In my case, the sshd_conf file on one of my users machine was edited and renamed. I backup that file and copy a default sshd_config file, then test it.

Thanks Chris and Andrew for the suggestions/directions. I now notice fglrx-x11-drv-12.4-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm driver does not seem to detect the card. Will consider a proprietary driver I googled (e.g., amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run) later, when I'm more stable to look at the issue.

Thank you Tam, and Steven, I just confirmed that regenerating the keys (ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ssh_host_dsa_key ssh -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key) in /etc/ssh fixes the problem So ssh -vv shows me how it's supposed to look. I'll save that and do a diff when it happens again. As I continue my

Shouldn't need to regenerate the keys.. once you get them generated once they should be good for the life of the machine. Save copies of the keys as they are now and if your system goes bad, do differences to see what changed, if anything. Steve Timm From:

Thank you Paul, Steven and Steve, I think Kerberos may be the issue. I do NOT use Kerberos to access this machine, I have a lot to learn before I turn that and LDAP on. But I do use it to access several services in our collaboration so the client machine often has a valid Kerberos TGT (and
