[CentOS] Yum dependency failure installing latest LibreOffice

2018-05-28 Thread Fred Smith
I've been bashing my head on the wall for 2 or 3 hours for something that should be (and has been, in the past) simple. Trying to install the latest LibreOffice downloaded from Libreoffice.org. I had 6.0.1.1 and downloaded 6.4.0.2, and kept getting dependency errors: --> Running transaction

OK, one other tidbit: The EFI BIOS has a UUID in its boot options. I expect that this identifies the old system disk, but I don't know where that UUID comes from. It is NOT the VFAT UUID for the EFI partition and is not any of the UUIDs for any of the Linux file systems or RAID arrays, or

2018-05-28 Thread Robert Heller
OK, I wanted to replace the 500G disks in a Dell T20 server with new 2TB disks. The machine has 4 SATA ports, one used for the optical disk and three for the hard drives. It is set up with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with each three partitions: 1 -- VFAT (for EFI) 2 -- ext4 (for /boot) 3 -- LVM

The centos@centos.org seems to be *uniquely* configured to hold messages with a (single) CC to self. ALL of the other mailing lists I am on have no problem with a CC to self. My mailer software is configured to CC to myself. This is *only* a problem with the CentOS list. Why is this? Yes, I know

2018-05-28 Thread Nux!
Hello, If that G4L is anything like dd then the UUIDs should have been preserved and GRUB should have worked. If that didn't work then G4L is doing its own thing. What you could do is perhaps set some LABELs in the original install on the partitions (see tune2fs), set GRUB and /etc/fstab to
