I have clients that use it strictly for desktop use only and not as a server because they can not afford to buy Win XP or Vista. Introduce them to K3B, Mplayer or XMMS and there happy. I agree. I use CentOS as both my desktop and server system at home, work, and on my laptop. I think it makes a great desktop, but I still thought it needed discussed before creating pages. Ultimately, the CentOS wiki team are who get the final say. :) A CentOS desktop/workstation category would certainly seem to be of interest, particularly with all the disgruntled Vista users wandering around looking for viable alternatives that will work on slightly older hardware these days. Including getting desktop applications working properly (openoffice, evolution, PIM functions, syncing with PDAs, multimedia, TV/PVRs/MythTV, http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS, etc.) would IMHO fall under this category. The Laptops pages are also relevant. Could list compatibility options for M$ apps including Crossover Office, VMware, etc. It would not be necessary to include all the information found elsewhere (could easily get out of hand and OT), but a set of pointers to useful information organized under a Desktop/Workstation banner would be helpful. The long-awaited year of the Linux desktop will arrive sooner or later. More and better useful information for desktop users could help make it sooner, and CentOS is definitely a viable candidate for a stable desktop platform. If the category is defined as broad enough to include scientific/engineering workstations and applications, then the word Visualization in the title of this thread is certainly appropriate as a specialized sub-topic, if not in the title of the category. On my system (with some 3rd party repos) yum search visualization returns the following: 3ddesktop.i386 : OpenGL program for switching virtual desktops in 3D bcfg2.noarch : Configuration management system ds9.i386 : Astronomical Data Visualization Application dx.i386 : Open source version of IBM's Visualization Data Explorer fityk.i386 : Tool for fitting and analyzing data grace.i386 : Numerical Data Processing and Visualization Tool grads.i386 : Tool for easy acces, manipulation, and visualization of data graphviz.i386 : Graph Visualization Tools k3dsurf.i386 : Visualize and manipulate multidimensional surfaces libsnack.i386 : Snack Sound Toolkit ncarg-devel.i386 : A Fortran and C based software package for scientific visualization ncarg.i386 : A Fortran and C based software package for scientific visualization perl-GraphViz-Data-Structure.noarch : Visualise data structures php-pear-Image-GraphViz.noarch : Interface to ATT's GraphViz tools pymol.i386 : PyMOL Molecular Graphics System Some of those fall more into the eye-candy category, but that's OK and within the originally-proposed scope. Google Earth, mentioned earlier in the thread, is visualization in this sense and could fit somewhere in the hierarchy too but doesn't show up on the list as AFAIK there is no CentOS RPM available for it. I'm using the Google-provided version that lives in the user home directory. [ Then one could get into other specialized open-source applications including Octave, R, mathomatic, Maxima, etc. that work well on CentOS but may not be available out-of-the-box - but I'm probably off in the weeds of my own interests a bit too far here. :-) Could also provide a link to our friends in Scientific Linux. ] Bottom line: +1 for a home for Desktop/Workstation category in the Wiki.

[CentOS] URGENT: libdvdcss install hosed /var
I am running CentOS 5/2 (latest updates) with the GNOME DE on a 32-bit machine (at work). I have k3b installed, and I was trying to copy a DVD earlier this morning, but k3b said it couldn't read encrypted DVDs. So, I installed libdvdcss from rpmforge and restarted k3b. It hung the system. I rebooted, and / had been damaged. After running e2fsck from the repair prompt, I rebooted and a whole slew of errors revolving around various /var directories that did not ecist occurred. I have been trying to repair /var, and so far with a fair modicum of success, but I've hit an interesting wall - two, actually. 1) The gdm refuses to come up. It claims that Server Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/gdm, but this does not exist However: # ll -d /var/gdm drwxrwx--T 2 root gdm 4096 Dec 11 10:31 /var/gdm # ll /var/gdm total 8 -rw-r- 1 root root 45 Nov 26 10:47 :0.Xauth -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 Dec 11 09:14 :0.Xservers This is identical to my backup system (which is not surprising - I set up the dir and copied the files from here - was that a bad idea?). 2) The following daemons fail to start: auditd, NFS statd, avahi and HAL. I've tried to pin down why the avahi daemon won't start because it keeps logging permissions errors trying to create the pid file /var/run/avahi-daemon//pid, but the setup of /var /var/run and /var/run/avahi-daemon are all identical to this (backup) machine. Any suggestions? Or is there a better, more comprehensive repair facility available? BTW, OT: Does anyone know why this might have happened?

[CentOS] Combining active-backup and round-robbin network bonding
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I think my first mail was not processed because it was send before the confirmation mail. In case you receive this mail twice, I am sorry! - - Hi, I want to set up two servers as a active-active HA cluster. Both servers have four Gbit NICs. Besides an unmanaged Gbit switch for the cluster communication (connected with eth0) I have two managed Gbit switches to which the servers and the clients will be attached. My idea was to use the following setup: switch2--eth1--bond1-- | switch1--eth2 | | | bond0 | switch1--eth3 This is for server1. Server2 should have two links with switch2 and one with switch1 instead. Switch1 and switch2 have a 3x1GBit 802.3ad trunk as switch interconnect. bond0 should be balance-rr (mode 0) to have load balancing and fault tolerance on switch2. The primary use is to double the capacity of the Gbit link. bond1 should be active-passive (mode 1) with bond0 as primary interface. This should guarantee availability of server1 to the workstations attached to switch2 in case switch1 fails. Both modes work fine as long as I use ethX-devices. According to /proc/net/bonding/bond0 I can bring bond0 up (MII Status: up), but in /proc/net/bonding/bond1 I can not bring the slave interface bond0 up. The Permantent HW addr is 00:00:00:00:00:00 no matter if I specify a MAC in ifcfg-bond0 or not. ifconfig bond0 shows the MAC of eth1 as HWaddr and the device as UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MASTER MULTICAST. I use ARP for link monitoring, because MII monitoring seemed not reliable with my hardware (Broadcom BCM5708 + Intel 82571EB NICs and 3com 3848 + 4500G switches) on CentOS 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.18.el5xen). How can I activate bond0 to work in the way I intended? Is such a setup impossible (i.e. to enslave bond-interfaces)? Is there a different/better way of doing what I want? Thanks in advance!

Re: [CentOS] [users] URGENT: Installed libdvdcss from rpmforge and k3b trashed /
On Thu, 11 Dec 2008, MHR wrote: I am running CentOS 5.2 with all the latest updates with the GNOME DE and k3b. I put a DVD in the tray and tried to make a copy, but k3b says it can't copy an encrypted disk. So, I installed libdvdcss from rpmforge: libdvdcss.i386 1.2.9-2.el5.rf rpmforge When I restarted k3b, it hung. After several minutes of waiting for it to respond, I found that the whole system had become unresponsive - no mouse movement or clicks, nor keyboard keys recognized. Unable to do anything else with the system, I rebooted it. When the system came up, there were problems in /, so I had to run e2fsck manually on /, and it found and fixed a whole slew of errors. However, when the system rebooted after a successful fsck, there are now errors in efforts to access various files and directories under /var, mostly in /var/lock, but also /var/gdm (meaning no graphics), all kinds of daemons are not starting up, and so on. Has anyone else seen anything like this? This is my primary desktop system at work (I'm using my backup system at the moment), and I need to have it back up a.s.a.p. Any suggestions? Why would this be related to libdvdcss ? I really do not see any link between the filesystem problems and libdvdcss. In the thread on the centos mailinglist you already identified the slowness to be related to an NFS mount. What if your system had filesystem errors all along, and when you installed the libdvdcss package it triggered these error into a fatal state. When you rebooted, the filesystem is being checked since it was no longer clean. You ran fsck without first doing fsck -N to see what would happen. The filesystem check also found out about all the other filesystem errors, and damaged files and brought the filesystem into a state where you see the problems you described. I would think you have had hardware problems, (or maybe your sudden reboot triggered a filesystem bug). Again, I seriously doubt the problems you have had are related to the libdvdcss RPM package. And without any proof I don't feel tempted to take any action. -- -- dag wieers, d...@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Lots of other good responses but the critical tipping point after functionality is 'benchmark results' as noted in the opening paragraph.

Modern x86_64 processors can run both 32bit and 64bit applications, the key is that the processor register and instruction set is richer in 64bit mode which permits the compiler to do more for many but not all applications. The ability of compilers to take advantage of the richer 64bit ABI can be massive.

Unfortunately it was some time ago since I had to do this so I cant give you clear instructions on how to go about doing this but there is lots of documentation on the web. The key thing you will need to remember is that you need to build the module for the same version of the kernel as used by the installer. Good Luck :) Building a custom initrd or just adding a driver to it can be found on google kickstart makes it easy because you do not need to build a CDROM... A quick and handy trick is to leverage an inexpensive USB ethernet network device that is already supported. Once the OS is loaded the new driver can be compiled and loaded on the system itself.
