[CentOS] Problem with Yum on CentOS 5.4
Hi, I recently downloaded and burned the 5.4 DVD ISO. All my machines are now running 5.4, but these are installs I performed with 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 etc. and then progressively upgraded. Now I had to use 5.4 because a friend's laptop, a brandnew Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile, refuses to boot anything under 5.4. After a fresh install of the base system, first thing I do is 'yum update' with the default setup... only this time, nothing happens. I stays about a minute or two on 'Determining fastest mirror'... and then tells me : "Could not retrieve mirrorlist..." On the other hand, 'yum update' on all the other installs (from older CentOS disks) works correctly. What's wrong?

[CentOS] bash variable expansion moment
It's half a nice Saturday later and many attempts have brought no satisfaction. Maybe this can't be done. I'm trying to write a function which, when called from one function execute in another. In itself, that's not the problem. Rather, there's one built-in variable which is evaluated in the function definition and it's value is then set (too early). Here's the one file (func-file): - Line() { echo This is line "$LINENO" $@ } - That one is called by this one: - #!/bin/bash . ./func-file Line ... it should be $LINENO I want the function Line to show the line number in the second file where it's executed, not the line number from the sourced function.

The lack of knowledge is fine; not everyone is an expert. The laziness and sloth, however, isn't fine. I can't speak for others, but my specific issue with the whole entitlement thing is the fact that some people are just plain lazy and refuse to lift a finger or exert any effort to help themselves and yet expect others to do so for them.

Do you want this done at the MTA [1] or MDA [2] layer ? Do you want it done for all accounts on this server, or just specific ones?

What you are not saying is how obvious it is that he knows VERY little about Linux and/or Unix in any form.

Hi Victor, The problem here, what's got people calling you rude, isn't the language of your posts to this list, it's the questions. We all have day jobs and we come on this list to ask questions to help us better complete our day job and/or our hobby. That's not to say that we expect everyone on this list to be linux experts, far from it. What we do expect is that people will have done their homework, reading the manuals/man pages, googling the problem, etc before they come to the list. To many us, myself included, you've come across as someone who hasn't done their homework before asking questions. Simple things like "How do I start MySQL at boot?" take a few minutes of reading the CentOS manual to find the answer. When you pose the question, someone answers with "read the manual" (because the answer is easy to find), and you respond with "I'm too busy to read the manual, I'll read it later", that comes across as extremely rude. It's rude because is shows disrespect for the time we take out of our day to read lists like CentOS and help others. Hope that helps. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.

Treat people as > you would like to be treated. Bye! > Victor whateverMyNameIsLOL The reactions you are generating are essentially a living personification of ESR's 'How to ask smart questions' document. To quote from that guide: The first thing to understand is that hackers actually like hard problems and good, thought-provoking questions about them. If we didn't, we wouldn't be here. If you give us an interesting question to chew on we'll be grateful to you; good questions are a stimulus and a gift. Good questions help us develop our understanding, and often reveal problems we might not have noticed or thought about otherwise. Among hackers, “Good question!” is a strong and sincere compliment. Despite this, hackers have a reputation for meeting simple questions with what looks like hostility or arrogance. It sometimes looks like we're reflexively rude to newbies and the ignorant. But this isn't really true. What we are, unapologetically, is hostile to people who seem to be unwilling to think or to do their own homework before asking questions. People like that are time sinks — they take without giving back, and they waste time we could have spent on another question more interesting and another person more worthy of an answer Essentially you have asked enough of the 'wrong' type of questions on this list to have the more terse amongst us label you as a time sink, taking simple answers from the list and supplying no real community benefit. THe fact that you talk about changing your name multiple times to avoid catching this kind of crap is evidence that you simply do not (or choose not to) get the culture. I and many others use our real names on this list, because at some levels of the business, reputation is worth far more than certification. While the above ESR quote may be considered arrogant, just as several members of this list may be called similar, it should not be taken as that. We're vocal and passionate about what we do, in all aspects. Answering a question which can be easily solved by 30 seconds with documentation is a waste of 30 seconds. Answering a question which requires me to learn about something, test a hypothesis, or think about the implications of different solutions is a gift, as ESR described. I'll leave one final ESR quote here which pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter more eloquently than I am able to muster: It's simply not efficient for us to try to help people who are not willing to help themselves. It's OK to be ignorant; it's not OK to play stupid. So, while it isn't necessary to already be technically competent to get attention from us, it is necessary to demonstrate the kind of attitude that leads to competence — alert, thoughtful, observant, willing to be an active partner in developing a solution. If you can't live with this sort of discrimination, we suggest you pay somebody for a commercial support contract instead of asking hackers to personally donate help to you. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
