[CentOS] Correctly displaying different charsets in Gnome-Terminal
Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.0 with GNOME on almost all my desktops. My system is in french, so the default charset ($LANG) is fr_FR.UTF-8. I'm in charge of our public library database server, running Debian Sarge. It's mainly running a LAMP server with a few extra PHP modules, and it's hosting our library management software. Since the app refuses to work correctly with UTF-8, I set the general system locale on the server to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ISO-8859-1). When I administrate that server remotely from, say, a desktop running Slackware (which defaults to ISO, not Unicode), characters in the console get displayed correctly. For example, 'less /root/ChangeLog.txt' will display my ChangeLog file (with french special characters) correctly. But when I open an SSH session on my CentOS machine in a GNOME Terminal, the french special characters are all replaced by inverted question marks. And the same goes for the MySQL monitor: all the french characters in the entries (é, à, ç, ù, ...) are incorrectly displayed. Q: how can I display all that correctly from within my Gnome Terminal? cheers, Niki Kovacs ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Dual boot box: WinXP CentOS 5: Impossible to restore WinXP?
We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive activity for a long, long time. My impression is that Microsoft does not want this to work on dual boot boxes. I've tried this on dual boot boxes with Windows ME and Windows 98 SE and it works fine.

[CentOS] Launching X-Windows at different runelvels
Hi all,
I need to launch X-Windows at runlevel 4 and 5. CentOS only start up x-windows
at runlevel by default. I have modified /etc/inittab to accomplish this:
x:4:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
But this returns errors every time that start and stop system ... Which is the
correct form to launch x-windows under centos at different runlevels??
Many thanks.

It was usually on test machine and I had not problem doing a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 and then reinstall all the machine from scratch, or if the installed OS were important then I used some imaging or backup tools. But the reset of the partition was mandatory. You could try to use the very powerful BartPE live CD do restore your DLL. Alain: Thank you for recommending BartPE! I downloaded BartPE on this side of the box (CentOS 5), but I couldn't unzip it in Linux. I moved it over to our Windows ME box and unzipped it there. Since I cannot start WinXP on this box, I can't run BartPE on this box at this time. I was hoping BartPE would ask me to let it read the WinXP files from the CD (on the WinME box), but no joy. This is the only box we have that has WinXP on it and it is crippled. From what it said on the site for BartPE, I was hoping it would permit me to make the CD on our WinME box: 4. Now PE Builder will ask to search for windows installation files. If you don't have your windows XP setup/installation files on your system you must insert the original Microsoft Windows XP installation/setup CD at this point. BartPE found that WinME was installed on that box and it died there. If you have any ideas about how I can make the BartPE CD, on a non WInME box, they will be much appreciated!

Not sure it is easy to find ntfs module with read-write enable for your centos. - Other way, install vmware-server (that's free and not too difficult to install) and install a winxp on it, then from this virtual-machine, repair your native XP partition. Or maybe just configure a virtual disk AND mount your physical drive as a secon drive and then boot this dual drive virtual machine with the original XP CD and try to repair it that way without install XP for real. - OR find (google) what is wrong with your partition table (if this is the problem).

Any helpful advice much appreciated please? I have a Dell laptop that I believe has the same card. The CentOS 5 kernel did not appear to support it, but the RHEL 5.1 (and subsequently upon its release) the CentOS 5.1 kernel does support it. You will need to drop the firmware into /lib/firmware .. I believe this is a bcm43xx card. Barry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I think that pop before smtp has lost some of it's lustre in favor of simply installing authenticated sending using encrypted authentication, configuration being much simpler than it used to be but of course, depends upon whichever smtp server you are using.

Re: [CentOS] Local mirroring of the CentOS repos

It actually does delete stuff that's no longer on the mirror. Yeah, but the repo seems to keep a lot ... I downloaded 5 or more versions of the same rpm of some software (for instance all the kernel packages, openoffice stuff in three versions) because there were two months or so between my first retrieval and the second (as I didn't have time to continue earlier) So, somewhere, someone is cleaning out the mirrors of old stuff. Now, an argument for how often this happens might be more like it, but it does happen. Ah, well, so the CentOS 5 updates repo hasn't been cleaned yet? In that case they didn't clean it since starting it. From looking at the CentOS 4 repo's it looks like they don't clean, though. Repos get automatically cleaned when moving over from x.1 to x.2 etc. So, when 5.1 arrives the repo will have been cleared by then and start anew. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining that they keep all those files. There may be good reasons to do so, I don't know. I merely wanted to see if I can do something from my side to avoid getting it all. Apparently, I can avoid it when regularly downloading by specifying a timelimit, but I can't avoid getting it all when I start a mirror (unless I use a filelist). Kai Why don't you want to keep old updates? What if you need to roll back because of some bad bug introduced in the latest version? The you have to go back to get either the original or the update that came before the version you have. And also, don't say mirror if you don't want to have the same packages. Just say you want to create a new repository containing some of the packages from the centos mirror. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
