But I'm sure this will do the trick On another server it worked as expected, and I could see which nameserver returned the query.

I guess alsa and /proc are all fine on my machine, but I've got a
blank result on /proc/asound running following find, no sure if that
was significant:
If all files below /proc/asound are empty after trying to play a sound
are empty, things can't be alright and that is significant. What it
implies, I haven't a clue.
Blank result? I'm skeptical about that. *scratching head*
[asound]$ find . -type f -exec echo {} \; -exec cat {} \;
/tmp/asound
The /tmp/asound file should contain at least the file names that it
s/file/files found under asound and its sub-dirs/
found. And I can't believe that trying to play something would remove
the contents of those files. 1) It would have to be root and 2) IIRC,
we can't remove stuff in /proc as it is from the kernel and not a real
file system and 3) We could only change the contents of *some* things.
I tested the above command with a CP and it worked. Maybe you had a
typo or the frustration is getting to you and you examined the wrong
file?
I used above command with a CP as well. I've also verified the
command to my another FC7 box which has sound worked well, it also
shown a blank result as well.
That puts me at a total loss. If every file below the /proc/asound tree
is empty after trying to play a file/CD is empty, then all the driver
modules would be gone. Then an lsmod should show no drivers loaded. If
drivers appear in lsmod, some files under asound and its sub-directories
have to be non-empty.
Remember that an ls -lR /proc/asound will show 0-length files even
though there is something in those files. If you depended on ls to
determine if a file was empty, that's a mistake.

The above command s/b rpm --verify ; echo $?

If you meant ||, it would still be logically incorrect as we want to
see the return value, regardless.
Actually, I tried without echo $? first, it display lots of
parameters, seems file. I can try the echo $? again, what is the
correct command for it? Is following command correct?
rpm --verify alsa-lib-1.0.14-1.rc4.el5.i386
lsa-utils-1.0.14-3.rc4.el5.i386; echo $?
If that is all on one line or the first line ends with a \, yes. But
the form with -v --verify is useful too. It will let you know if
something is scrogged. The man page for rpm will tell the meaning of the
output. If you put a redirect to a temporary file, you can look at the
results. Something like this
rpm -v --verify ... ... /tmp/rpm.lst; echo $?
[asound]$ ls
card0 cards devices Intel modules oss pcm seq timers
version
[asound]$ pwd cat modules cat cards /proc/asound
0 snd_hda_intel
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xf050 irq 66
I've also tried to ls in /proc/asound/Intel:
$ ls
codec#0 codec#1 id oss_mixer pcm0c pcm0p pcm2c
Seems, all drivers there, is there any command such as cat to verify
low level drivers by playing a sound?
You need an application to do that. I've only used various Gnome
desktop facilities. The file manager (Nautilus?) should do that when
you double click a sound file. I'll test ... BRB
Yep. I went to /usr/share/sounds/alsa, using file manager, and it
opened totem and played the sounds. This means that you could open
totem directly, or any other sound playing application and try it.
Unfortunately, unless we suspect broken applications are the problem,
this really only is the same as what you tried to do originally, less
the CD.
I can use vlc to play the *.wav or other audio files, but I tried to
figure out where is the block or missing link with the audio. Right
now, no sound when I run vlc to play audio files. If I could check and
play in some means with low level driver first, I guess I could find
if the problem is high level applications or low lever drivers. Seems
that the drivers all there, but don't know if them are working or not.
ISTR that long ago there were CLI sound/CD players. I don't know if
there are any left. I suggest a Google.

Laziness? ;-) ...or are we just tasty food centric? I think because yum works good enough and it's been around in the RPM-based world for a long time now, and has been adopted by other RPM-based distributions. I've been using apt since it first came out(in Debian 2.1 I think) around 8 years ago, and it works great, I really like it a lot. Though yum seems to work fine too. I don't use any of the advanced abilities of yum or apt. A plus for yum, is I was astonished how easy it was to setup a yum repo, I just pointed it at the copied contents of the CDs and it worked. apt by contrast with it's pools and stuff it was difficult for me to get a working repository(I had done it in the past but the tool I used which is still promoted to some extent didn't work as expected with the new archives resulting in my system downloading 10x+ more data then it needed to). Even the new debmirror has it's quirks, especially for security updates, took a while to get used to it. Maybe apt repositories for RPMs are just as easy to setup as YUM repositories, not sure, but for debian packages at least it's a pain. For me the various package tools/managers all work well it's more about the package repositories. The testing and integration work involved with tieing thousands of packages together so they work right is really a tough thing to do, my biggest complaint about RHEL(and derivatives ), is the lack of package selection in the main repo. I've never been fond of using 3rd party repositories, I've seen a lot of problems on this list over the past few weeks that seemed to stem from them to some extent. In my production systems I do use probably 35 3rd party RPMs but they are all built from source(SRPMS) and installed manually(using an automation tool called cfengine), not installed via yum. apt certainly is faster, I don't like how yum updates the package descriptions, though it's not deal killer for me. I use/prefer RHEL/CentOS on my work stuff, especially when tied into kickstart/cfengine etc. I use/prefer Debian(stable, not testing or unstable) on systems that are managed by hand(home, or very small environments). And Ubuntu on stuff like laptops that need more up to date drivers. nate (Debian user since ~1998, RHEL user since ~2003, CentOS user since ~2006) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Re: Problem with Bonding Driver
So, has anybody on this list gotten the bonding driver working with more than a single bond and **different options** on the bonds in CentOS 3/4/5 (I'm using 5.2)? I am starting to believe that this is in fact a problem with Red Hat kernels. But if so, I am surprised that it has persisted so long without being addressed. Should I file a bug with Red Hat? It is possible for CentOS to fix kernel problems? Or must they always be fixed upstream?

Did you try without renaming? I do not use it, but it works nonetheless: alias bond0 bonding options bond0 mode=2 alias bond1 bonding options bond1 mode=2 You are setting identical options for both bonds. This masks the fact that your second options line is ignored and essentially does nothing. Try changing an option on bond1 (eg. set a different mode or a different miimon value), and I think you will see that it is ignored. On Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 1:11 PM, Art Age Software [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've using linux bonding in active-backup mode to combine two pairs of GigE NICs (eth0/eth1, eth2/eth3) into two logical bonds (bond0/bond1). All is working fine. However, I would like to specify a primary interface for each bond. This means I need to specify different options to the bonding module for each bond. I have tried every conceivable incantation of options and cannot get the kernel to recognize the second set of options. Initially, my modprobe.conf looked like this: alias bond0 bonding alias bond1 bonding options bonding mode=active-backup miimon=100 max_bonds=2 What I am trying to achieve should be possible by changing modprobe.conf to this: alias bond0 bonding options bond0 -o bond0 miimon=100 mode=active-backup primary=eth0 alias bond1 bonding options bond1 -o bond1 miimon=100 mode=active-backup primary=eth2 But this results in fatal errors while bringing up the bonding interfaces. Changing to this eliminates the errors, but bond1 ignores the different options: alias bond0 bonding options bond0 -o bond0 miimon=100 mode=active-backup primary=eth0 max_bonds=1 alias bond1 bonding options bond1 -o bond1 miimon=100 mode=active-backup primary=eth2 max_bonds=1 I have tried many other combinations as well: install bond1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bonding -o bond1 mode=active-backup primary=eth2 Nothing works. I also came across this note in the bonding docs: NOTE: It has been observed that some Red Hat supplied kernels are apparently unable to rename modules at load time (the -o bond1 part). Attempts to pass that option to modprobe will produce an Operation not permitted error. This has been reported on some Fedora Core kernels, and has been seen on RHEL 4 as well. On kernels exhibiting this problem, it will be impossible to configure multiple bonds with differing parameters. I have seen that error as well with certain combinations of options in my modprobe.conf. Am I simply out of luck here? Does anyone know of a solution?

Re: [CentOS] share folder as USB mass storage device
Maybe I'm just being silly here, but I'm wondering if anybody has ever used their computer for sharing files over USB. That is, the computer pretends to be a USB mass storage device. Surely, somebody must have thought of this before :-D Yes, Apple thought of it years ago. Plug a Mac/laptop to another Mac via Firewire (and I think USB too), boot it while holding down the T key (I'm pretty sure it's T), and it boots as a slave drive. This was a standard feature used when you upgraded hardware and wanted to migrate your data across. Not sure if it works on Intel Macs, but don't see why it wouldn't. However, this feature also relied on the BIOS. PCs don't have this. And if you just plugged two PCs together via USB, each end would be connected to a motherboard, or a PCI host card, not an actual device. I have never seen this done in PC land, and it would probably require hardware/BIOS changes before someone implemented this in Linux. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923www.knossos.net.nz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Total lockup caused by Shift-{print screen}
I just had the misfortune to press Shift-{print screen} accidentally
while in a Gnome desktop, and the result was a completely unresponsive
system where the only recovery was a power switch initiated shutdown.
Further investigation shows the runaway creation of gnome-screenshot
processes.
System is CentOS 5.2 fully updated on an Intel i686.
Suggestions about what component should receive the bugzilla report
are welcome.
