Update Kernel version to 3.19 on CentOS 7 - linux

I need kernel version 3.19 on my CentOS 7, currently is it 3.10.
I know that following steps can be used to update kernel version to the stable latest one.
sudo rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-3.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
INSTALLATION
sudo yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-lt
sudo yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml
sudo reboot
But how can I install 3.19 version of kernel ? When I list yum list --showduplicates kernel from repositories at my system, I can see only 3.10. but nothing more.

Why you would you like to use an old kernel when there are already updated kernels available? I have followed the instruction to install latest kernel

VirtualBox: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) | Fedora 36

After full reinstalling Fedora to version 36 I have got this error:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing
'/sbin/vboxconfig'
as root.
If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On Linux, open returned ENOENT
Commands from other topics don't work:
sudo dnf reinstall kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms qt5-qtx11extras elfutils-libelf-devel zlib-devel
systemctl restart vboxdrv
sudo dnf reinstall VirtualBox-6.1
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
What do I need to do? Thanks
Please try:
$ sudo dnf -y install #development-tools
$ sudo dnf install kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms -y
The problem maybe it is that the kernels have different versions on devel and headers. You should probably check this right before everything else.
Now if you want to create a virtual machine based on Linux, I strongly recommend you to use "KVM", it's the easiest way and it should work without any trouble.
This is related: rc-1908
you just need to install the "linux-devel" packages (worked in fedora 37)
sudo dnf install linux-devel

How to install JavaPackage on ubuntu

I came across a debian application by the name JavaPackage which can create a debian installation file (.deb) form a java binary (.tar.gz) which you can then install using dpkg -i application_name.deb. With Ubuntu being a debian-based linux distribution, it is possible that it can be installed on ubuntu as well.
How do I go about installing it on Ubuntu/Kubuntu 16.04.2 LTS?
java-package is available in the official ubuntu repositories. All you need to do is update the repository with the latest version then install it as shown below:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install java-package

installing mpich2 always installs me mpich

I have mpif90 for MPICH version 3.0.4, but I want to remove it and install mpich2. There is a problem with the dislin library, so I need mpich2.
While on my debian distro sudo apt-get install mpich2 installs me mpif90 for MPICH2 version 1.4.1 (it is the right one I need), if I run (on Ubuntu where I already have MPICH version 3.0.4) sudo apt-get remove libmpich10 libmpich-dev and then sudo apt-get install mpich2 it still installs mpif90 for MPICH version 3.0.4
How can I do?
UPDATE 1
Thanks. But if I try to install it with dpkg -i mpich2_1.4.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb I first have to remove the previous version 3.0.4, because they are in conflict.
I remove it, I try to install the 1.4.1 but there are unsolved dependencies (libmpich2-3 -1.4.1 NOT INSTALLABLE, libcr0 NOT INSTALLED, libhwloc4, hwloc-nox). So as suggested I run apt-get -f install but it installs 3.0.4
On Debian it works fine, 64 bit, wheezy release. On Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, it doesn't work.
You are asking how you can downgrade vendor-packaged mpich-3.0.4 to mpich2-1.4.1
Debian and Ubuntu make upgrading really easy. Downgrading is a little tricky and might require pinning a package, rebuilding an old .deb for a newer platform, or you can just build MPICH2-1.4.1 from source.
Debian: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/mpich2
Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/mpich2
Source: http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/1.4.1/
A word of caution: if you ask anybody for help with MPICH2-1.4, the very first thing you are going to hear is "wow, that is 2 years old. can you try the latest version?"

Installing RedHawk on CentOS7

CentOS 7 has been out nearly a year now. Has anyone installed RedHawk on CentOS 7? I do not see binaries available on the RedHawk download page. Has anyone successfully built it from sources? Are there issues?
I also do not find RPMs for omniORB-servers or omniORB-devel. Has anyone succeeded in building these on CentOS7?
Terry, Ive built redhawk yum repositories for CentOS7 which you can find below however a few things to note:
As Ryan pointed out, currently redhawk only officially supports CentOS6 and Ubuntu, these rpms are not offically built and distributed by redhawksdr.org. However if you do have any issues with them or find any problems please feel free to feed this back to me.
These RPMs were originally built prior to Fedora packaing omniORB 4.2. To account for this, I built and packaged omniORB 4.1 for CentOS7 which is the same version redhawk uses on CentOS6. My omniORB41 package and EPEL's omniORB (v4.2) package conflict so you cannot have the epel package installed. I have not tested redhawk with omniORB 4.2 which is why I packaged the older 4.1 version.
You can find the 1.10.1 yum repository here:
http://yum.axiosengineering.com/redhawk/1.10.1/el7/x86_64/
I will hopefully soon update with 1.10.2
You will also need the dependency repository here:
http://yum.axiosengineering.com/redhawk-deps/1.10/el7/x86_64/
To install via yum, create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/redhawk_axios.repo
With the following text:
[redhawk]
name=UNOFFICIAL REDHAWK 1.10.1
baseurl=http://yum.axiosengineering.com/redhawk/1.10.1/el7/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
[redhawk-deps]
name=UNOFFICIAL REDHAWK DEPS
baseurl=http://yum.axiosengineering.com/redhawk-deps/1.10/el7/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Then from a terminal:
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum install redhawk* frontendInterfaces* bulkioInterfaces* GPP-*
REDHAWK is only officially supported on CentOS 6 and Ubuntu 14.04. omniORB should now be in Fedora EPEL 7:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/omniORB
I recently installed Redhawk 2.3.0 on Centos 7.9 by following these instructions https://redhawksdr.org/2.3.0/manual/installation/
The exact commands I used:
mkdir ~/Documents/Redhawk
cd ~/Documents/Redhawk
sudo yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
wget https://github.com/RedhawkSDR/redhawk/releases/download/2.3.0/redhawk-yum-2.3.0-el7-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf redhawk-yum-2.3.0-el7-x86_64.tar.gz
cd redhawk-2.3.0-el7-x86_64
sudo yum install -y redhawk-release*.rpm
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/redhawk.repo
Content of /etc/yum.repos.d/redhawk.repo:
[redhawk]
name=REDHAWK Repository
baseurl=file:///home/causer/Documents/Redhawk/redhawk-2.3.0-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhawk
Once the file is saved (ctrl+x, y), in the same directory as before:
sudo yum groupinstall "REDHAWK Runtime"
. /etc/profile.d/redhawk.sh
. /etc/profile.d/redhawk-sdrroot.sh
sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -a -G redhawk causer
sudo nano /etc/omniORB.cfg
sudo $OSSIEHOME/bin/cleanomni
sudo systemctl enable omniNames.service
sudo systemctl enable omniEvents.service
Copy redhawk.desktop to the desktop and run it (rpm -qpl on the redhawk-ide-xyz.rpm its near the bottom of the list)
sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-javadoc

xz compression install on centos

Any installation or update using yum command I ended up error: Error: xz compression not available. On website I read that Python library is missing. When you try to install a library (sudo yum update pyliblzma) again failed with error. Do not know how? Thanks.
This problem comes if you installed a wrong epel release on your machine. If so, then you need to remove the epel release by
yum remove epel-release
Sometimes that is not enough, you need to remove the cache as well by:
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/epel
Then you can install the epel-release again
yum -y install epel-release
You need install the EPEL repository by downloading the appropriate RPM package for your system and installing it. For example, for CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x:
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-6*.rpm
If you get a File Not Found error message when trying to download the package, the version number might have changed. You can access the latest version of the RPM installer from the Fedora EPEL wiki page. The wiki page also includes additional instructions for Red Hat Network subscribers who are installing the EPEL repository.
Finally, install the Python library:
yum install pyliblzma
This works perfecly in my CentOS 6.x.
I've found a solution on this page of stackexchange, working in CentOS 6.X:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/314756
sudo rpm -e epel-release-7-5.noarch
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo yum clean all
sudo rpmdb -v --rebuilddb
sudo yum -y install libselinux-python
I was also suffering from this issue..
If you are installing packages but it is already available on your system.
Remove existing packages and then try to install new.
It will work properly...
I was able to solve this problem by installing pyliblzma using rpm instead of yum as yum is not working.
Find pyliblzma rpm package according to your architecture and install it using the command.
rpm -Uvh pyliblzma-version-release.architecture.rpm
I used the following command to install pyliblzma for my 64 bit Redhat 6.8 machine. Please check URL in the command and make changes accordingly.
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/pyliblzma-0.5.3-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
In my case the issue was caused by missing modules in python's site-packages directory. Here's what I did:
$ rpm -Va
to get a list of all files belonging to all rpms that do not verify. I got a bunch of messages about missing modules:
missing /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/...
Luckily, I had an identical CentOS version elsewhere with all these packages present, so I just copied them over and ran
$ rpmdb -v --rebuilddb
to rebuild rpm database.
