I've finally made the switch to CentOS 5.1 (I had been running 4.6).
So far, so good, but I do have a few issues.
First, I can not find kermit (or ckermit) in any of the repos (base,
extras, centosplus, rpmforge). On my 4.6 systems, /usr/bin/kermit
was provided by the package ckermit in the base repo. That package
appears to be no longer available. Any ideas where I could find a
suitable replacement?
Second (and this is probably OT), I use the binary nVidia driver and
the keyboard and mouse sharing utility Synergy (http://
synergy2.sourceforge.net, a fantastic utility without which I would
be so much less productive). Since upgrading to CentOS 5, if the
nVidia card goes into powersave mode, it can not be woken up by
moving the cursor from the Synergy server to the Synergy client
display (in this case, the CentOS 5.1 systems); you have to hit a key
on the keyboard that's physically attached to the CentOS 5 system to
wake it up. Is there a way to have the display wake up when the
cursor is moved into the client display? Or at least disable this
"deep sleep" mode on the nVidia cards? I have not changed the
hardware or the version of the nVidia driver when upgrading from
CentOS 4.6 to CentOS 5.1, and I did not have this issue before the
upgrade.
