Re: [CentOS] dual head on centos 5 and ancient Nvidia Quadro NVS280SD card

I haven't found the x log file in /var/log to be helpful, either. This is using the legacy 96.x.x driver from Nvidia. the NvidiaDetect app (from epel) says it should be using a newer driver than the 96.x.x (forgot which one, exactly) but when attempting to install it I get a msg that the card requires a 96.x.x driver. browsing to nvidia.com and entering the model numbers into their driver finder app gives another newer version that also gives the same result. So it looks like I'm stuck with the 96.x.x driver. some googling indicates a few people have made it work, but none of their methods are working for me. I was beginning to wonder if the hardware even supported dual head, so I booted up a Fedora 17 LIVE CD. it initializes both monitors with no action from me at all, with a desktop spanning the two screens, just fine. It must be using the Nouveau driver (which, AFAIK, can't be used on Centos 5), so still the issue could either be spanning/dual head doesn't work with the ancient nvidia driver, or we (neither me, nor the tools on Centos) knows how to configure it. Clues would be appreciated. thanks in advance! In my experience I was able to drive both the DisplayPort and DVI (or HDMI and VGA) interfaces off my card to give me dual monitor support.

[CentOS] deleting Cyrus mailbox with empty name
A junior administrator of mine mistakenly created a mailbox with an empty name, by typing into cyradm the commands: createmailbox user/$lb setquota user/$lb 1 He will of course shortly receive an extra lesson on shell variables, but meanwhile I find myself confronted with the problem how to get rid of the mailbox he created.

Re: [CentOS] deleting Cyrus mailbox with empty name
Thanks, I found the solution. The name of the bad mailbox wasn't in fact empty, but a single blank character which the cyradm and quota commands dutifully removed as leading blank in their output. So localhost sam user/ cyrus all localhost dm user/ was what it took to get rid of the mailbox with the empty name, and localhost sam user/ 1 cyrus all localhost dm user/ 1 took care of the second one created by the hapless colleague's setquota command.

Nevermind, I am not paying attention here, my setup is C6 with Intel. This is strange... xrandr (on C5) only shows one monitor even though two are connected Booting up a Fedora 17 live CD, automatically configures for a single desktop spread across both monitors, AND xrandr shows both monitors. This makes me think that the hardware supports what I was seeking but C5 doesn't. So, some more poking around, and I discover that Nvidia supports Twinview which actually works on C5, giving me a single desktop spread across both displays. According to the Nvidia readme, it fools X into thinking it has only one monitor, and it does seem to work. While I think I might like two separate desktops, it doesn't look like it's likely to be possible with the system I have, so I'll manage with what I've got, I think. thanks for the responses!

Dual head or dual monitor? Dual head typically means running two instances of X, one on each video out, which can only be done with two or more graphic cards from what I can gather. hmm. good point. Sounds good, right? Don't listen to me though I talk through my wazoo. Multi-Head and Multi-Monitor are synonymous (I actually looked it up after posting). It's a HP workstation xw4100, with Nvidia Quadro NVS280SD graphics card. Enabling dual head in the display app simply configures X so that it (i.e., X) won't start. I haven't found the x log file in /var/log to be helpful, either. This is using the legacy 96.x.x driver from Nvidia. the NvidiaDetect app (from epel) says it should be using a newer driver than the 96.x.x (forgot which one, exactly) but when attempting to install it I get a msg that the card requires a 96.x.x driver. browsing to nvidia.com and entering the model numbers into their driver finder app gives another newer version that also gives the same result. So it looks like I'm stuck with the 96.x.x driver. some googling indicates a few people have made it work, but none of their methods are working for me. I was beginning to wonder if the hardware even supported dual head, so I booted up a Fedora 17 LIVE CD. it initializes both monitors with no action from me at all, with a desktop spanning the two screens, just fine. It must be using the Nouveau driver (which, AFAIK, can't be used on Centos 5), so still the issue could either be spanning/dual head doesn't work with the ancient nvidia driver, or we (neither me, nor the tools on Centos) knows how to configure it. Clues would be appreciated. thanks in advance! In my experience I was able to drive both the DisplayPort and DVI (or HDMI and VGA) interfaces off my card to give me dual monitor support. To setup the monitor preference I just created a monitors.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as such: Section Monitor Identifier HDMI1 Option Primary true EndSection Section Monitor Identifier VGA1 Option RightOf HDMI1 EndSection Substitute the Identifier for whatever 'xrandr' gives you, and use LeftOf if you secondary monitor is left of your primary. Nevermind, I am not paying attention here, my setup is C6 with Intel. This is strange... xrandr (on C5) only shows one monitor even though two are connected Sounds like the support for your nvidia in C5 doesn't include multiple monitors. Booting up a Fedora 17 live CD, automatically configures for a single desktop spread across both monitors, AND xrandr shows both monitors. This makes me think that the hardware supports what I was seeking but C5 doesn't. So, some more poking around, and I discover that Nvidia supports Twinview which actually works on C5, giving me a single desktop spread across both displays. According to the Nvidia readme, it fools X into thinking it has only one monitor, and it does seem to work. While I think I might like two separate desktops, it doesn't look like it's likely to be possible with the system I have, so I'll manage with what I've got, I think. Twinview is going to be your best bet, but spanning desktops instead of independent. You can always upgrade to C6 to get independent desktops, composing and all that jazz. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Trying to justify CentOS vs. RHEL
Hi all, I'm in the process of moving all of my RHEL systems over to CentOS but the argument that fires back at me is for critical vulnerabilities for items such as zero-day exploits and such. From what I've been reading, RHEL releases critical patches much quicker than CentOS which makes sense since CentOS is simply a copy and when changes occur they propagate down to the RHEL clones. My question is what kind of time frame are we looking at when a vulnerability (critical or high) is announced and a patch has been released for RHEL does it get implemented into CentOS? Thanks!

One suggestion: if you have a number of systems, buy at least one RHEL license - that way, you can ask for enhancements, bugfixes, and such from them. That's how we got US gov't PIV card support from them.

-Original Message- From: Bidwell, Christopher Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 17:12 Hi all, I'm in the process of moving all of my RHEL systems over to Why all? Lets keep that question in the back of our minds. CentOS but the argument that fires back at me is for critical vulnerabilities for items such as zero-day exploits and such. From what I've been reading, RHEL releases critical patches much quicker If zero day patches are important to maintain your accredidation on your systems then you need to have a support plan. That plan can either be a commercial services provider, vendor support contract (RHEL), or an in house team to support the system. Using a service provider other than RedHat is kind of silly since purchasing from RedHat support CentOS. Staying with RHEL is a non-change. Having an in house support team will be much more expensive as you will have to have staff for each of the packages on the system. than CentOS which makes sense since CentOS is simply a copy and when changes occur they propagate down to the RHEL clones. My question is what kind of time frame are we looking at when a vulnerability (critical or high) is announced and a patch has been released for RHEL does it get implemented into CentOS? It has always been fast enough for us, but if it were not, we would help by providing patches to the SRPM to CentoOS development team.
