[CentOS] Evolution: always a 90-second delay
I'm trying to use Evolution on the latest CentOS 7. Whenever I try to receive or send mail, there's always a 90-second delay before the connection works. Since the delay is always exactly 90 seconds, I think I may be waiting for something to time out. Perhaps this is a clue. My address is u...@example.com. I have to log in to pop.example.com or imap.example.com as user, not as u...@example.com. Evolution seems to always try to connect as u...@pop.example.com or u...@imap.example.com. I can't get it to try to connect as user. Perhaps it tries to log in incorrectly and gives up after 90 seconds, and then tries to log in correctly. I want to use Evolution because I want my mail client to use maildir rather then mbox.

Re: [CentOS] (Solved) Booting CentOS 6 with Grub from CentOS 7
I myself wrote: > Grub from CentOS 7 automatically created an entry for CentOS 6, but > I get an error if I try to boot CentOS 6. It turns out that Grub2 checks the version of the kernel and refuses to proceed if it thinks that the kernel is too old. I don't know how old is considered too old, but the latest centosplus kernel for CentOS 6, vmlinuz-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.centos.plus.x86_64, apparently qualifies. The solution was to install the latest kernel-ml kernel from ELRepo, https://elrepo.org/ , to change grub.cfg to reflect the new versions, and to change linux and initrd to linuxefi and initrdefi. I'm surprised this has apparently never arisen before. Am I really the first person to dual-boot CentOS 6 and 7?

[CentOS] Booting CentOS 6 with Grub from CentOS 7
I had CentOS 6 installed on an MBR hard disk. I converted the disk to
GPT (with UEFI) and installed CentOS 7 on a new partition.
CentOS 7 itself seems to work properly.
Grub from CentOS 7 automatically created an entry for CentOS 6, but I
get an error if I try to boot CentOS 6.
The menu entry is:
menuentry 'CentOS release 6.10 (Final) (on /dev/sda7)' --class
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option
'osprober-gnulinux-simple-92dcc576-4e61-41f3-ae42-d06b3aec01ae' {

--hint-efi=hd0,gpt7 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt7

else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
92dcc576-4e61-41f3-ae42-d06b3aec01ae
fi
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 ro

initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.centos.plus.x86_64.img
}
When I try to boot, I get a message that "linux" and "initrd" aren't
valid commands. If I change them to "linuxefi" and initrdefi", I get
this error:
error: kernel too old
error: you need to load the kernel first
The information in the entry seems correct (partition, UUID, etc.).
I've searched on Google quite a bit, but didn't find anything useful.
Are there any suggestions?

[CentOS] AMD Ryzen and CentOS
I have a new system with an AMD Ryzen 1600 CPU and I'm trying to run CentOS, so far without success. The only information I could find was a post reporting that CentOS 7 would crash during installation on a Ryzen system: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61831 . I tried updating to the latest elrepo "mainline stable" kernel, version 4.11 (by booting from a live CD and using chroot to enter CentOS: that worked), but the system still doesn't work properly. I'm using CentOS 6 but I'll switch to CentOS 7 if that will help. (But I assume that if installing the latest kernel didn't help, neither would going to CentOS 7.) Any suggestions? Is it known whether the next version will work properly with Ryzen? Yves Bellefeuille <y...@storm.ca> ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I can confirm that you can backtrack by enabling the proper vault repositories (and giving them the appropriate priorities), and then doing yum remove xorg-x11-drv-modesetting, yum downgrade xorg-x11*.

[CentOS] CentOs 6.4 and video drivers
The release notes for CentOS 6.4 state as follows: With this release the ABI for the X.org video drivers changes, possibly resulting in a failing X-Session. If you are running 3rd party drivers - i.e. vBox addons, nVidia, ATI or ELRepo - you need to ensure a compatible driver is loaded. I use flgrx from ELRepo. Does this mean that fglrx is now incompatible with CentOS? Yves Bellefeuille ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] [Solved] XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Solved; that was quick. :-) For other reasons, /tmp had incorrect permissions. Changing them with chmod 1777 /tmp solved the problem. The hint was this post, https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=41813forum=56 , which described other symptoms I also had: gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256, and The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly.
