Re: Security ERRATA Critical: firefox on SL4.x, SL5.x i386/x86_64

, Your symptoms sound like you haven't restarted firefox. Try completely restarting firefox. You might have some process lurking in the background if you've already tried restarting firefox. Do a ps ax | grep firefox and kill all it's processes Troy Daniel Widyono wrote: Troy, I

Re: anaconda crash: Error informing the kernel about modification to partition /dev/sda5

If you don't care about the previous data, just boot into rescue mode, and use fdisk to write a clean empty partition table to the disk, then reboot into installation mode. That's cleared up some issues for me in the past. Dan W. Error informing the kernel about modifications to

I liked the simplicity and robustness of Ken's answer: use unix groups. We would like to create accounts for restricted users To be sure we understand the requirements, what precisely do you mean by restricted users? Do you *only* mean the following? These users would have access to the

Miles, What's your X mouse driver? I had this issue at one point as well, and it turned out to be a change in IMPS/2 or PS/2. I switched to the other and it worked fine from then on. Dan W.

Please make sure it works by sending an email from gmail (which allows an empty To: field and many Bcc: - yahoo and hotmail don't allow it) and send to multiple recipients in the Bcc with one of those recipients as your mail server with the stock sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf, this would then be

Do you have the standard SL sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf files? If not, try them first. I do, and It Works For Me. On SL 4.x at least. Dan W. On Fri, Sep 28, 2007 at 03:05:24PM +1000, Michael Mansour wrote: Hi, Sorry if this is way off topic, but I've spent the past few hours web

Re: Changing BIOS settings on nodes

2007-09-27 Thread Daniel Widyono
I would think that if you are copying all of the BIOS settings, then the checksum should be right. Why? As I see it, the checksum is presumably created and stored somewhere when you select save in the BIOS setting program. Since this has been bypassed by using /dev/nvram the stored

Re: rsync error on large directories?

2007-08-30 Thread Daniel Widyono
Volume of data isn't the only measure of large - the number of files is important too. I started having problems at about 45K - 50K files per directory, using ext3 (pre-hashed-b-trees). I forget total # files in top level. This particular issue wasn't rsync-specific, however. It also used

Thanks for the response. Since 1.58-1 was installed in the repository early 8/4, and 1.58-2 replaced it rather quickly in afternoon 8/5, I think it was actually just an incorrect build (incorrect meaning it doesn't work with vanilla sl44 and dag; I have no idea if perl-Win32* exist in some other

I just upgraded in order to install the latest gnucash (2.2.0). I generally had to manually remove several el4 packages (using --nodeps) and manually re-install the el5 packages (I think these were primarily packages from the dag repos) before everything was quite happy. One package had RHEL4 in
