Gnumeric
by centos＠911networks.com 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, I am trying to install Gnumeric in CentOS 4 and I can't. It complains about quite a few dependencies failing. It suggested installing some postgresql librairies, openldap librairies... I did that, now I still get: dependencies failed: libmdb/libmdbsq/libsqlite/libxbase/libtds. Is there a yum repository that has them or a yum repository for gnumeric? I have tried Dag, he does not, he has libgda, but that has other requirements... -- Thanks

Install Guide for PostFix (with DoveCot, SquirrelMail, MailScanner, ClamAV) on CentOS-4
by Johnny Hughes 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Ok, I have been working (for quite a while) on an install guide for PostFix (with DoveCot, SquirrelMail, MailScanner, ClamAV) on CentOS-4. A full install is part 1 (Postfix / Dovecot / Cyrus-Sasl), Part 3 (SquirrelMail) and Part 4 (MailScanner, Spam Assassin, ClamAV). I am still working on Part 2 (Postfix / Cyrus-Imap / Cyrus-Sasl). It will go with Part 3 and Part 4 (same as above) to get a full install that includes Cyrus-Imapd instead of dovecot ... should be done with this one in the next couple days. So to reiterate, Part 1,3,4 is a full postfix/dovecot install ... it is done and ready to go. Parts 2,3,4 is a full postfix/cyrus-imapd install ... this one is not quite done yet. Part 1 is here: http://www.hughesjr.com/content/view/40/2/Site_News Thanks Johnny Hughes

Business software for Linux
by William Warren 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

I am hoping to find a inventory management program suitable for something like a bookstore or other 1-5 person smb. The software would need to be able to accept inputs from wireless handheld scanning devices for entry into the system. It must also work with their windows based PoS computer. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Nautilus / Desktop Icons
by Henk van Lingen 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hi, I've a nautilus problem with CentOS 4. It doesn't show the desktop items any more (also after dropping all gnome files/dirs from a users homedir) en the right mouse button menu also doesn't work. Googling around I've found various items about the problem but until now not a clear solution. Some people mention some 'browser mode in nautilus preferences'. But I can't get there. Even if I login with a KDE desktop I can't launch nautilus (nothing happens). Any ideas? I've SELinux enabled, I hope that's not related?

Extending LVM2 logical volumes [ was: Demonizing ... ]

If that is indeed true, why woud LVM be "measurably > better? While I am no LVM expert, it seems that ext2online does what you want. My CentOS4 box here has ext2online included; I have not had a chance to try it out, so I can't comment on how well it works. However, what I have read is that the LVM2 metadata format is more robust and removes many of the limitations of LVM1. In trying to check on this, I looked for specific information on how this was the case, but have not been able to at this point. The ext2/3 filesystem wasn't designed for resizing online, so it's quite nice one can do it at all; but it appears the LVM2 approach is to rely on the e2fsprogs to do the work, so, taking you question literally, no, there is no LVM2 tool to resize; you would do a two-step, resizing the logical volume then resizing the filesystem with e2fsprogs. But, having never had opportunity to do this, I have no direct experience with it. --- So, has anyone found an equivalent (even multiple commands that I could put in a script) for the e2fsadm utility to extend a logical volume? Anyone who has experience with ext2online? -- Collins Head teachers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but the Start button.

kernel panic at install time centos-3.5-x86_64
by Robin Mordasiewicz 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

I have successfully kickstarted 3.4 x86_64, but after updating my repo to 3.5 I see a kernel panic when it loads vmlinuz. Funny thing is that I had one box that would kernel panic while trying to install centos-3.4-x86_64, which then would install fine after updating to 3.5, but now my other mahcines will not kickstart. --

Sarah: RHSA tracking tool
by Dag Wieers 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi, I'm working on a RHSA tracking tool, named Sarah. It allows you to build a local RHSA database of different RHEL releases and then allows you to verify systems for compliance (and lists applicable RHSA and required packages). But before releasing my prototype, I would like to know what requirements people have. How they would be using such a tool and what for reports they need to extract. My main reason for writing such a tool is to automate reports to send out to customers for getting approval for updates during planned maintenance. My aim is to list the risk and information based on information provided by Red Hat. Another use case would be to send out emails either when new RHSAs are released or updates are made to existing RHSAs or sending out daily or weekly mails for systems that are lacking certain security updates. I bet other people have other requirements, so I like to hear about those. PS You may wonder what it offers on top on RHN. In fact it doesn't offer much more than RHN already provides. But in our environment, we don't have RHN access for our systems (some of them are not even connected to the Internet) and security policy does not allow this anyway. Plus a CLI tool that is able to access and process this information allows for some specialized use that RHN may not provide. Bright ideas are welcomed.

Re: [CentOS] Hot swap CPU
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

From: Rodrigo Barbosa <rodrigob(a)suespammers.org> > Btw, don't quote me on this one :) > I'm only 90% sure of the hotswapping capabilities, and less than 50% > sure about the price :) There _are_ systems with hot-swap CPUs, memory and/or, PCI[-X] slots. They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support. In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for hot-swap -- at least at the PCI[-X] level, if not memory and possibly CPU as well. It requires extensive support though for that type of "dynamic" flexibility. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
