Re: [CentOS] resetting a serial port
have never used usb-to-serial devices, so I'm probably wrong here... wondering if, on the system where you work, have you tried using the reset or tset command? otherwise, though *being a Linux user I hate to suggest this*, but have you tried the "universal-fix-all-problems" technique that Windows users learn early on, i.e., reboot one or both systems? rebooting one of the systems then trying to connect may tell you which system is wedged. maybe. Good luck!

Re: [CentOS] Using CentOS 7 to attempt recovery of failed disk
Also, does ddrescue "stop" (as in quit) or is it just stuck there spending a lot of time trying to read one or more bad spots? it is intended to keep trying until it gets something, or gives up and skips to the next track/sector/whatever. If you let it go for a long time (overnight???) does it proceed ?

Re: [CentOS] Using CentOS 7 to attempt recovery of failed disk
Well, I'm not a noted expert on ddrescue, but my limited experience tells me that when it hits bad spots (or a big cluster of them) it can go very slowly as it tries multiple times to read each sector (or track, I'm not sure which, in this case). It keeps a list of bad spots and goes back at the end to try again to read something from them. Of course, if you've had, eg. a head crash, there's probably nothing there to read.

[CentOS] strange email from cron regarding "rear"
I don't understand what this means, I found it in root's email this morning: To log into the recovery system via ssh set up /root/.ssh/authorized_keys or specify SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD WARNING: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/moddep.lst not found, grub2-mkimage will likely fail.

Re: [CentOS] kindle app on CentOS 7?
Mark: Older version(s), e.g. 1.17 of Kindle for PC worked fine on wine (on my Ubuntu 18.04 VM), but some of the later versions didn't. I was using it for DeDRM, and since I wasn't smart enough to figure out the correct incantation to make later versions work, I chose a different approach. I can tell you what that was if you care. I used Ubuntu because I've never had any luck making things work in Wine on Centos, possibly because RH/Centos only ship 64-bit wine and Calibre and Kindle for PC are 32-bit. There's a (somewhat outdated) HOWTO on Apprentice Alf's blog about doing the kindle on Ubuntu setup that I followed, and it was close enough to let me get it working. I don't have a clue about whether 20.04 is still close enough, or not. Good Luck!

[CentOS] units command, crazy output
whenever I use the units command from a script, e.g.: elapsed=86500 echo elapsed time: `units "$elapsed sec" hms` elapsed time: *Currency exchange rates from 2012-10-24* 24 hr + 1 min + 40 sec the man page even says it outputs that when run without arguments. My question is why in the world does it? certainly when run from within a script doing conversions of time using the "hms" option, I don't want that to be stuck in the middle of my output. Anybody know why it does that, or how to make it quit? (I know, I use sed to filter it out, but can't understand why I should have to. Thanks in advance!

I note that there was a selinux event early in this list of events, but I see those frequently and they normally don't cause a crash. if I scroll upward from this list, I find more of the same above what is shown here. The selinux event seems to be related to a SMB mount. since I have a Synology box on the LAN, and it stays mounted nearly all the time, I suspect the selinux event has something to do with that, but I have no idea why it would cause a crash once every few months. Is that selinux event something I need to fix? I'm further guessing that "xhci_hcd" has something to do with USB, am I right? If so I don't know what it would be... Clues would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Warren, thanks for the reply! Plantronics USB headset/microphone? Yottamaster RAID-1 storage (USB3)? Behringer USB audio interface? Logitech wireless mouse? Leopold USB keyboard? Does any one of them sound more likely than the others? Of all those, the yottamaster device is the most recent. Unfortunately I haven't kept notes on when it occurs, so it's possible it was occurring before I got that device. :( If it is that device (used primarily for nightly backups) might it help if I unmount it after each use?

Warren, thanks for the additional info. I assume that the yottamaster device runs Linux, just like 99% of other such devices. as to whether it uses linux software raid or some cheap (megaraid???) chipset, I don't know, nor know how to tell. but I'll check that URL you sent and see what happens.

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
Yeah, and the instructions for setting RAID-1 or RAID-0 have the switch positions exactly reversed. Strahil: I'm using autofs to automount the unit. but just turned that off and enabled the xsystemd.automount in fstab, we'll see how that works.

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
Strahil: I WAS using that, but the automatic umount never worked, leaving it mounted all the time. I commented out those entries in /etc/auto.master before modifying the fstab entry: UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup ext4,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=15min noauto 0 2 which is exactly as it was before except for the x-systemd entries as you described. and the peculiar thing is it STILL does not automount. and yes, I did do systemctl restart local-fs.target. do I need to reboot (or something simpler, maybe) to fully disable the auto.master stuff?

Re: [CentOS] rare but repeating system crash in C7
OK, here's where I stand now: 1. I stopped and disabled autofs. (I have 2 SMB filesystems out on the LAN that have also been automounting with autofs, do I need to do similar changes in fstab for them?) 2. yes it has. 3. none I can see. 4. nothing that leaps out at me. there are a couple about /mnt/backup not existing but they appear to be old ones, aren't happening anymore. So, I've made a minor tweak to /etc/fstab, nothing that should matter. rebooted, and when it comes up /mnt/backup is mounted. TWICE, according to the output of mount: $ mount | grep backup systemd-1 on /mnt/backup type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=25,pgrp=1,timeout=900,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=9840) /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/backup type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,stripe=8191,data=ordered) is this really a double mount, or is this what I'm supposed to be seeing? doesn't seem to timeout and auto umount.

Re: [CentOS] How to reset the USB subsystem?
from a non-expert (me): possibly figure out what happens when the device is plugged/unplugged and doing that by hand. if you can find the udev file(s) that manage the port(s) that get hung you may be able to figure out what those steps would be. or you could try, when hung, plugging it into a different USB port... some motherboards have multiple USB controllers, so even if one gets wedged tight, the other one(s) shouldn't be. Good Luck!

Re: [CentOS] almalinux?
There used to be several RHEL clones too, but many (some??) have dropped by the wayside. I started with TaoLinux, a rebuild of EL6, by basically one guy at a university, because he wanted his own RHEL clone to run at work. when he changed jobs he worked with Johnny to come up with a transition for Taolinux users to turn their systems into CentOS systems. As I understand it, also, Scientific Linux has quit and urges its users to go to Centos (or did, before the big hullabaloo in the CentOS world). there was also Whitebox LInux, but I don't know what ever became of it. So, hopefully those doing rebuilds of 8 will also eventually coalesce into a smaller number, hopefully 1. Fred On Mon, Apr 5, 2021 at 2:31 PM Simon Matter wrote: > > Anyone looked into almalinux?

Re: [CentOS] Resize a VM: any risk involved ?
I'm using VirtualBox for a few VMs, the biggest one is a Ubuntu 20.04 that ocassionally grows too small, so I use virtualbox tools to enlarge the disk then boot up something that h as gparted in it and use gparted to stretch/move partitions. Not being familiar with (i.e., not having used) KVM I can't say what's the best way, but it seems to me that gparted would be easier than the steps you described., once you've changed the partition size.

[CentOS] mounting XFS RAID-1 disk partition that needs repair.
I'm attempting to extract data from a HD that has a bunch of linux-raid partitions, including one large one with data I need to save off the disk. I actually have two drives like that (both not from the same RAID pair), and one of them I was successful in creating a MD device so I could mount it RO and copy off a ton of data. the second one fails to mount, saying the XFS filesystem is corrupted. Attempting to run XFS_repair I get a message that the filesystem is XFS-1 and I need an older version of XFS tools to do it. I'm running Centos-7 with whatever version of XFS tools comes with it, according to 'yum list installed' it appears to be xfsprogs 4.5.0-22.el7. I don't particularly want to install another, older, version of xfsprogs on this system. can anyone suggest any other way to gain access to this disk partition? Thanks in advance!

Nov 24 12:22:55 fcshome kernel: XFS (md40): SB validate failed with error
-117.
running xfs_repair give:
sudo xfs_repair /dev/md40
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
xfs_repair: V1 inodes unsupported. Please try an older xfsprogs.
before proceeding with other experiments, I decided to use dd to create an
image file on my local disk of that partition so I could mess with it with
less chance of trashing the on-disk partition. when attempting to use it, I
get:
sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md41 ./part4.img --run
mdadm: ./part4.img is not a block device.
mdadm: ./part4.img has no superblock - assembly aborted
So, I thought maybe the image had somehow become corrupted, so I did:
sudo md5sum /dev/sdd4
bd7cac3c886e7b3110e28100e119bb82 /dev/sdd4
and
md5sum part4.img
bd7cac3c886e7b3110e28100e119bb82 part4.img
which shows the partition and its disk image to be identical.
Why shouldn't a dd image of a partition work just as well (for my purposes)
as the actual disk partition? I've certainly done this before with EXTn and
NTFS filesystems, is XFS somehow different in this regard?
Do any of you know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

[CentOS] C9S
Hi! I'm experimenting with C9 Stream, in Virtualbox. I'm hoping someone, somewhere, will provide the Mate desktop for it. I positively cannot stand that Gnome thing that they think we should all be using. I've installed C9 and C9S for epel but they don't have it (yet??) either. Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks in advance! Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] how to clear out /var/cache?
Is it safe to just remove files from /var/cache on a running system, or is there a correct procedure for doing that? Mine has hit over 3 gigs, making it one of the larger directories in /, which is running low on space. I've hit all the low-hanging fruit I can find and now I come to things like /var/cache, and I don't know what to do about such. Thanks in advance! Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] how to clear out /var/cache?
Skylar: that's more or less what I've been doing, looking for huge things in /. Kenneth: the latest version of kdirstat appears to now be named qdirstat, no kde bits required. it is certainly a handy way to quickly find the disk space sinks. Thanks for the pointer. but I still don't know the proper way to clear out a lot of this stuff. I certainly don't want to hose my system. It is C7, up to date, and it has been running for at least five years with partitions as they are set now: / is 50 gigs. had a popup message this morning telling me that / was nearly full. found it with 2 gigs free. sounds as if something has been slowly eating away at the space. I could use gparted to rearrange things, making / bigger, but as it has been going for five years, it strikes me that it more likely needs a lot of garbage collection to be done. I've manually cleaned up some detritus, it now reports 3.7G free which should hold me for a little while. So, can anyone advise me on what is and what is not safe to whack/delete from the root partition? Thanks!

Re: [CentOS] how to clear out /var/cache?
well, I removed all the files in the tree under /var/cache/yum/x86_64/7 but left all the directories empty. that got rid of a couple gigs of stuff. among the remains, the only other big one remaining is: 2.3G abrt-di which I won't mess with for now. I've got 4.2G free, now, so that should run me for quite a while. Thanks to all of you for your tips!

[CentOS] printing on C8S
OK, I give up. How do I configure a printer on Centos 8 Stream? I can't find any tools for doing that. further, there doesn't seem to be a cups executable (which should allow setting up a printer) though there ARE a bunch of cups packages installed. Anyone got any clues for me? Thanks in advance! Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] printing on C8S
John, it is a Brother DCP7065DN, on the hardwired network and visible to all the computers here. Actually, I just installed Mate (can't stand that Gnome-thing) but neither it nor Gnome shows any printer config utilities. Barry, I'll check into lpadmin. Still, I'd think there would be something actually visible in one of the menus, and as far as I can see there isn't.

Re: [CentOS] printing on C8S
OK, I've done those commands, and the system thinks it has a printer configured. I had assumed that the everywhere driver meant we'd be using "ipp everywhere", which I had assumed meant I would NOT need to install Brother drivers. but send a print job causes no paper to come out of the printer, and I see this in lpstat -t output: $ lpstat -t scheduler is running no system default destination device for DCP7065DN: ///dev/null DCP7065DN accepting requests since Fri 07 Jan 2022 10:46:21 AM EST printer DCP7065DN is idle. enabled since Fri 07 Jan 2022 10:46:21 AM EST File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperDCP7065DN" not available: No such file or directory DCP7065DN-6 fredex 867328 Fri 07 Jan 2022 10:46:21 AM EST which makes me guess I still need the Brother drivers. I can certainly go get them and install them (not as if I hadn't done it before on multiple systems), but I was hoping that "ipp everywhere" would work. [later] I managed to get a working printer by using the Gnome printer configuration tool. but it wasn't fun. I had to install the Brother drivers because 'everywhere' doesn't seem to work with my Brother printer (possibly Brother's fault, I dunno). the gnome printer setup tool is anything but intuitive--despite what the help system says I can't find any way to define the default printer, there's just no option there where help says it should be. when I enter the URI of the printer (ipp://192.168.2.97/ipp) it lists three choices of printers, as far as I can tell, only one of them actually prints anything. but then I shouldn't be surprised at the ugly tool, it fits right in with the rest of the Gnome desktop. Unfortunately, the MATE for Centos-8 seems to be a one-off by a 3rd party, so I can't complain to the Mate community about its lack of a printer config tool (or other tools that don't work). In fact, system-config-printer does seem to exist, but (1) it isn't found in any menu I can find, anywhere, but on disk, if one searches with some diligence, and (2) when I attempt to invoke it "python36 gui.py" it just errors out on me. since I don't know any more about python than it takes to type that command, I don't know how to fix it. I'm guessing it has never been ported to Python 3.x. I'd like to stay with CentOS or other RH-derived distro, but not if I'm forced to use Gnome desktop. Thanks for all the various replies you all sent me!

[CentOS] C7, removing zoom problem
Guys, I'm trying to update my zoom client and yum (or yumex) won't let me do an update, so I try to remove the installed one, on the theory that if it isn't there I should be able to install a newer one, by doing "sudo yum remove zoom_x86_64" (where my PWD is the directory where the zoom RPM files live) and it tells me "no packages marked for removal. Reading thru the man page for rpm I can't figure out any other way to do it. Suggestions, any one? Thanks in advance! Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] C7, removing zoom problem
well, as one of the earlier posters showed how, I did remove the existing one then installed the new one (the one that Zoom offers for Centos-7, not the one for Centos-8, which has the problem you describe) and voila, works like a charm!

Re: [CentOS] C7, removing zoom problem
ah, that's OK for now, as long as it works. I'm trying to build up the courage to do a full system upgrade to Rocky.latest. I hate doing upgrades, it's such a pain in the rear to get everything working again, and get all my tweaks back into place. I despise Gnome 3+, and prefer Mate. Someone (EPEL ??) built Mate for C7, but the existing binaries for C8 don't work very well, there are none that I know of for C9, and AFAIK Rocky is the only Centos clone that supports Mate. there IS Ubuntu Mate, but I am more comfy with RH-derived systems. One thing I won't have to do anymore is set up email (used to have my own domain for email, but moved and can't get a static IP anymore, decided it was too much bother to do the ddns thing) along with POP3 for my wife to use. We now just use gmail. But I see that the time for said upgrade is drawing nearer and nearer.

Re: [CentOS] Kernel updates do not boot - always boots oldest kernel
I had something like this happen some years ago on a workstation with 2-disk (software/Linux) RAID 1. Turns out one of the disks had been ejected from the raid array. It was that ejected disk that was getting the updates, but since it was no longer in the array it wasn't being booted, but rather the other one that wasn't getting the updates.

[CentOS] where is glib-devl x86-64?
I have a brand new installation of Rocky Linux 9.1 (I know, this isn't a Rocky mailing list, but I can't find anything on this on Rocky forums, etc. so I figured I would ask here), and I installed Gimp, and would like to install the Resynthesizer plugin package. Trying to compile it from source, autogen.sh complains that I don't have the gimp development libraries installed. In fact, I can't find glib-devel anywhere in any of the configured repos (all the default Rocky repos, epel, rpmfusion). Rocky is shipping an unstable development version of Gimp, so maybe they haven't made glib-devel available yet ??? Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] where is glib-devl x86-64?
I dunno. I guess it could be. Went to the Gimp site and saw that glib-devel was mentioned there. My tired old brain is a bit confused by this, since most other -devel packages put -devel following the program/package name, and gimp doesn't. I'll give that a try, though, to see if it takes care of my issue. Thanks!

well, I'm still confused.
sudo dnf install glib2-devel says it is already installed.
running autogen.sh for resynthesizer outputs:

that's what I thought at first, but there is no gimp-devel either

Trying to install Centos6 on my system (it's been running C5 for years). I've got a pair of drives, so I'm trying to use RAID-1. Previously I used a procedure where each partition was part of a separate RAID device, but this time I'm trying the HOWTO from the Centos WIKI on making a partitionable RAID pair. I've been having a lot of problems, but have also been working thru them. but t his latest one has me stumped, I'd appreciate some advice. Booting encounters a panic when trying to mount the RAID subsystem. you can see an image of it at users.rcn.com/fredricksmith/panic.JPG. Looks as if it's trying to boot from md127. there ain't no such critter, where'd it get the idea it could boot from there? or more importantly, how can I solve it? thanks! I may have to revert to the other method, but I figured this one was worth a try. Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] GUI volume control/mixer in C6??
Just bringing up a Centos-6 (x86_64, FWIW) and I can't find the mixer app... on my C5 box(es), double click on the speaker icon in the top panel and I get a mixer app appears on the screen. My new C6 box doesn't do that. I've installed all the PULSEAUDIO RPMS I can find, but still nothing. what am I missing here? thanks!

Re: [CentOS] GUI volume control/mixer in C6??
sigh. Frank, what is it that appears in the notification area? the speaker icon? I have that. Liam, that's not the tool I'm asking about. On c5 (and a prior installation of C6 on different hardware) I could get a mixer to appear by double-clicking the speaker icon. this had sliders for all the various input and output devices, like MASTER, PCM, CD, etc. now I can't get it and don't know what to do to get it. As far as I recall I never did anything special on the other systems, it just worked. Further clues appreciated.

But CentOS doesn't ship it. I just use alsamixer. > ah, having done some digging, it appears that what I'm accustomed to seeing on C5 is "mixer_applet2", which is apparently a gnome utility. it doesn't seem to be available in C6 (presumably Gnome dropped it in the Gnome version used on EL6). it's a useful tool, lets me adjust the volumes of various inputs and outputs SEPARATELY from the single volume slider that is a panel applet, so I can get sane volume levels from all devices. on my C6 system without it, some devices are enormously loud and some are not, for any given slider setting, and it's a pain in the rear. I've got alsamixer (and alsamixergui) and they only show two sliders, one which is the same as the panel applet with single slider (you move of of them and the other moves with it) and one slider for input. I can't find a pulseaudio mixer or volume control anywhere, either. On my netbook (running Fedora 17 with MATE desktop) I've got mate-volume-control, which looks pretty much exactly like the tool I'm accustomed to, but I don't suppose I could expect it to run (and work properly) on EL6.

[CentOS] lmsensors sensors.conf file for gigabyte GA7N400 Pro2
Having done my fresh 5.0 install a couple months ago I'm slowly getting things back in to working condition. Decided last night to try setting up lmsensors. Got it all set up (modules, etc taken care of) and it runs and reports values, but some of 'em a clearly wrong with the default sensors.conf Trying to use the old sensors.conf I used on Centos 4 produces even more whacked-out results, so I guess that's not the solution. Perusing the documentation, it seems that one can configure it properly only if one knows a lot more about the hardware than one typically knows. So, I'm wondering if anyone out there has a working config file for a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard that works on Centos 5.1? here's what I get with it as it stands right now: it8712-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore 1: +1.68 V (min = +1.42 V, max = +1.57 V) ALARM VCore 2: +2.54 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +2.61 V) +3.3V: +3.23 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V) +5V: +4.99 V (min = +4.74 V, max = +5.25 V) +12V: +11.90 V (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V) -12V: -15.70 V (min = -12.63 V, max = -11.41 V) ALARM -5V: -8.10 V (min = -5.26 V, max = -4.77 V) ALARM Stdby: +4.57 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) ALARM VBat: +4.08 V fan1: 2556 RPM (min =0 RPM, div = 8) fan2: 2083 RPM (min = 3013 RPM, div = 8) ALARM fan3: 1591 RPM (min = 3013 RPM, div = 8) ALARM M/B Temp:+30°C (low = +15°C, high = +40°C) sensor = thermistor CPU Temp:+26°C (low = +15°C, high = +45°C) sensor = thermistor Temp3: +57°C (low = +15°C, high = +45°C) sensor = diode That -12v at -15.70 is pretty obviously wrong, as is the -5 at -8.10, and the other voltages getting ALARMs are probably wrong too, though not by as much. The MB and CPU temps shown by the BIOS are 29 and 53, so that 26 shown as CPU temp here is likely bogus. One wonders if the Temp3 is actually the CPU temp instead. (my old config used Temp2 for that, tho). Advice will be appreciated.

[CentOS] KMIDI problem
Hi gang! Running 5.1 with Gnome as the default desktop, but have installed KDE too so I can run kde apps. Kmidi is the default midi player, so if I click on a midi file in firefox it brings up KMIDI. KMIDI goes merrily along playing the file, but I get NO SOUND. My motherboard has built in audio but it's disabled and I"m using an old Audiopci 128 card which seems to work fine for everything else. (Why? because it sounds MUCH better than the ac97 junk) Clues for making midi work? Thanks! -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you not know? Have you not heard?

Looks as if it may be that KMID expects there to be either hardware support for midi (which this sound card does not provide--it's es1371) or a midi-to-something-else converter, such as timidity++ which also isn't present. Seems strange that the system would install KMID without the other tools it needs... Anyway, I don't seem to be able to find a RH5/Centos5-compatible timidity++ build anywywere. I tried recently to build it and gave up with a series of errors that I didn't have the ambition to work around. Anyone know where I can find a suitable RPM for Timidity++?

OK, with a bunch of browsing and head-scratching I got it working. I"ll document here what I did in case anyone else needs to know. First of all on a es1371 card there is no midi, and KMID expects some other agency to provide a MIDI sequencer, either hardware or another program. I went back to the Timidity++ I had tried to build before and it built cleanly (I have no clue why it hadn't worked a few months ago). The various other postings I had found (in other fora) suggestedusing Timidity as a midi server by using the commandline: timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os1l -s 44100 I tried this, and as you might expect it failed because the vanilla Timidity++ build doesn't include some of the options you need to do this. Rerunning the ./configure in timidity++ with these options: ./configure --enable-alsaseq --with-default-output=alsa gives me the services I need. Then I could start Timidity as shown above. once started, fire up KMID, go to SETTINGS | MIDI SETUP and choose one of the timidity ports. For me port 0 seems to work best (I have no clue what the others are for). Configured that way I can play local midi files with KMID. My next step is to see if it will work when KMID is started by Firefox. Yes! NOTE: after installing Timidity++ you'll need a set of "voices", as Timidity comes with only a minimal set. The INSTALL file in the timidity source archive tells you places to look for such things. You'll also need to find or create a timidity config file telling where to find those files. Luckily I had a set of all those files lying around from a previous installation. BTW, I used Timidity++2.13.2. YMMV! :) Good luck! -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. --- Romans 5:8 (niv) -- pgpj8Omm4ZxIh.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] ERROR during HTTP install from a Centos mirror
Hi! I'm trying to install centos 5.1 as a http installation from a centos mirror. i've done it before with Fedora, figured I could do it with Centos, too, but every time I try it, it goes all the way thru Anaconda to the point of entering the root password, then I get an error about not being able to find the repodata. I note that the section in the "upstream" manuals about network installs imply (without ever being extremely specific) that you would have your own server with the files on it. Is this some limitation that prevents us from using a centos mirror instead? Anyway, I've tried with two mirrors. when it asked me for the system name and the path to the directory, I entered this (for one of the tries): www.gtlib.gatech.edu /pub/centos/5.1/os/i386 and for the other mirror mirror.rhsmith.umd.edu /pub/centos/5.1/os/i386 in the two lines of the form.

[CentOS] WPA question
HI I admit up front that I know just enough about wireless networking to know that I don't know much at all about it. That said, I'm hoping someone can help me learn a little bit... Specifically, could a laptop running Centos 5.1 be expected to (be able to) connect to a wireless access point using WPA2 security settings? I don't know if WPA depends on hardware support, or if it'll work on any ole machine. Nor do I know what is involved in making it happen. Clues would be appreciated.

I guess I'm going to have to figure out what wireless chipset is in use in this laptop. It's built in and "just works" for WEP, without effort, so one could hope it's well-enough supported for WPA. A year or so ago when I first got my wireless router (Linksys WRT54GL) I couldn't get WPA to work with FC5, but then I didn't have a clue HOW, either. Since that is my only wireless device, and since I don't use it a lot at home (mostly for travel) I usually leave wireless disabled in the router anyway, especially since WEP isn't secure. -- --- .Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / // / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 Jude 1:24,25 - pgpgiBXRhxWYJ.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Scalix can push email to Blackberry's and the Blackberry desktop sync program works well with the Scalix - Outlook combination. Scalix promises better integration "shortly".

[CentOS] Gnome panels
Hi! Just installed Centos 5 (I've been running 4.x which was an upgrade from previous versions, for a long time), but this one was a fresh install. Now Gnome gives me the two panel configuration (one at top, one at bottom) but I prefer the single, larger panel at the bottom. Anyone know how to tweak Gnome to revert to the single-panel form?

[CentOS] New launcher in Gnome
Hi! In Centos 5, when I add a launcher to the desktop, it doesn't allow me to choose an icon for the launcher. After creating it, right-click/properties also has no way to choose an icon. It seems to assign one itself, and the one i get looks like a small terminal window, or something. How can I pick the icon for a desktop launcher myself? My old Centos 4.5 installation allowed me to pick the icon. This seems to be a step backwards. Tks!

OK, I can see how that can be made to work. But that doesn't seem to give me what I want, still. When I upgraded from a Centos-3 to centos-4 system, I retained the older look of the panels. But when installing Centos4 afresh it gives the new look. Even doing what you propose doesn't, as far as I can see, make the panel look like it did in the older versions. But since one can retain that look when upgrading an older system to the newer gnome, I surmise that the difference is entirely in the configuration. So, if I knew how to hack at the configurations (which I've not been able to figure out, so far) I should be able to get what I want. Example: the workspace switcher, in the older version, is a box that is 2X2, not four in a row. The panel buttons for switching tasks take up half the height of the panel, not the full height (as they do when I simply enlarge the panel of the new installation) and can be stacked two high on the panel. Frank, I appreciate your helpful advice! It's just that it doesn't seem to be taking me quite where I would like to go. Thanks anyhow!

[CentOS] Display resolution problem on Centos 4.5
I've got a Centos 4.5 box at work (installed at 4.0 and kept up to date) that's having a really weird problem I haven't been able to figure out. It's been doing on for a loong time but today it just got my goat and I spent some bit of time fighting with it, unsuccessfully. /etc/X11/xorg.conf specifies that the display resolution should be 1280x1024. When root logs in it is. when a user named 'interface' logs in it is. When I log in with my normal login, 'fredex', it isn't. I get 1152x864. when I look at the "screen resolution" utility on the preferences menu it says 1280x1024. when I look at the "display" utility on the "system settings" menu it says 1280x1024. but using the monitor's OSD settings, the monitor says it's 1152x864. I CAN force it to 1280x1024 by using 'xrandr', and it then works fine at that resolution until I log in the next time. I'm left to conclude that at some point in the murky past that I must have done SOMETHING in Gnome that causes Gnome to somehow mess with the resolution when I login but not when other users do. But I've been reading the Centos forums, the Red Hat Knowledgebase, and the FAQs at gnome.org, and none of them has shed any light on this issue. Can any of you help please?

[CentOS] Screensave issue in Centos 4.5
Hi! I've got a Centos 4.5 box at work. I recently got a new LCD monitor and since that time have been having screen saver problems (they might have been occurring with the older CRT too but if so I didn't notice.) I've set it up to use "blank screen" only, to go to black screen in 20 minutes. Then I set up powersave to progress through the three modes at short intervals so that after an hour the display should be powered off. If I sit there and watch it (say, e.g. I'm busy doing paperwork and don't use the computer for a while :) it'll do exactly that, i.e., the display goes OFF. So, I leave at the end of the day. When I come in the next morning the screen is NOT powered off, the power light is on (not yellow, not off) and every little while an OSD window pops up saying it's getting no video signal. So, somewhere between going off in the short-term and being idle for 12-14 hours overnight, something goes awry and the display appears to get turned back on. Anyone got any idea how I can figure this one out? I have very similar settings at home (now on Centos 5, but also previously on Centos 4.5) and have not observed that behavior. Different computer, different video card, different monitor, though I don't see what difference it should make Thanks! -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. - Proverbs 15:3 (niv) - pgpO9Le8YpCIK.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Is there a catch on using Scalix based on your experience. I see that Horde is available from Dag's repository, do you think it is better for me to use that instead?

[Fred Kienker] Scalix has announced starting with Version 11.3, to be released mid December 2007, the number of premium users available in the Community Edition will be reduced from 25 to 10. The number of standard users will remain unlimited for now. There is new commercial licenses available starting at 20 users to fill in the gap. You can continue to use Ver. 11.2 which will remain at 25 premium users forever, but there are several serious issues in this version which will not be addressed except by updating to 11.3. In our experience the most current version of the Community Edition tends to be beta test software - YMMV. Using any version of the Community Edition in a commercial or educational environment would not be a good idea without a paid for support contract from Scalix.
