Re: After January 31. we can no longer use the dnf update option.

There is a newly amended version of migrate2rocky here but it should be noted that it has not had much, if any, testing! Hi TrevorH I fled CentOS 8 like the devil was after me, and migrated ocelot to Rocky Linux 8.5. Have had a few issues, but suspect they are more -- or less -- hardware issues, an...

Re: KDE 5: How To Have Different Wallpapers, and Widgets, On Different Desktops

I solved the problem but you will need to jump through hoops. Will post more later.

Old Login Screen Gone Replaced by a Strange Login Screen

What is going on: Last week I had to reboot my CentOS 7.9 Workstation leopard. When it came up I thought it had gone into some type ERROR screen -- and indeed it still might be, but now I am inclined to think not. My previous login screen was a custom colorful screen that was based on lightdm. The d...

RANSOMWARE "DARKRADIATION" TARGETS RED HAT AND DEBIAN!!

I was out "prowling" late last night and came across the following: Consider this a PSA:

The DarkRadiation ☢️ Ransomware: SSH wormable, written in Bash, updates itself and hard to detect.

Re: Missing dependencies and conflicting packages

No, don't specify allow-erasing, at least not without carefully reading the output from dnf before you reply Y to say Yes, do it. This looks like a Stream system and KDE on Stream requires you to install and enable an duse the EPEL-next repo. Did you do that? HUMMMM Morning TrevorH: Curiouser and c...

Re: KDE

Being overly verbose with colourful language and shouts does not necessarily lead to successful communication. My buddy is a research statistician and a "Must Have" program is "R" . Surprisingly "R" installed on both openSUSE 15.3 and CentOS 8.4. There is nothing surprising in that. R is a very pro...

Re: KDE

There is no reason to install ELRepo in order to get KDE. ELRepo supplies hardware drivers and the nvidia driver and doesn't have anything related to KDE in it. Hi TrevorH!! You are correct. I went thru Hell trying to install CentOS 8.4 because it would reach a point and throw a hissy fit: "The fol...
