Lost mail
by Anne Wilson 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

I did an update yesterday evening, and didn't spot that it had changed permissions on my .procmailrc. Consequently no mail came in after that. I've been out most of today, so just got it fixed, but what will have happened to the mail for the missing period? Maillog just shows that messages have been passed to procmail. Procmail won't run if the perms are wrong, so where do the messages go? Anne

[CentOS4.6]Where can I get these packages (xorg-server xproto fontsproto)?
by huo jinzhe 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

When I install xf86-video-intel-2.3.2, Package requirements were not met. And " yum list | grep xorg-server " can not find such package. Where can I get these packages (xorg-server xproto fontsproto)? Thanks in advance. The log information is below: ./configure ...... checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for XORG... Package xorg-server was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-server.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xorg-server' found configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server xproto fontsproto ) were not met: Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

why yum cannot find lighttpd?

Hi, I tried to install lighttpd in CentOS 5.2, but yum list lighttpd returned an error of "no matching packages to list". Should it be installed from source tarball? Thank you. Kind Regards, Jim

nfs cannot see mount points on other machine
by Kai Schaetzl 01 Jul '08

I'm having a bit of a problem with what I can "see" over nfs. I have two machines that nfs their root to each other and it seems to work. However, I now found out that some of the root directories that are listed are "fake" ones. A comparison of the root on both machines shows that some directories are the same and I can access those files on the other machine. However, there are some directories that are different. That is true for all the "special" directories like dev, proc, sys (which makes some sense), but also for directories that are mount points on the other machine. Does nfs not give me access to those mount points? Do I have to create a second nfs mount to that machine which mounts only that mount point? Or do I need some parameter to mount these mount points under the normal mount? What's weird is that if I create a file in these "fake" directories I can do that and it's listed like it actually were created on the other machine. But it gets created on *this* machine. When I then unmount, it's gone (like the whole nfs mount) and when I remount it's back. Where is it actually getting created and how can I remove it? Is there some nfs cache that holds it?

by hce 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Hi, I opened a Firefox on Desktop, but when I clicked Minimize Window button, the Firefox disappeared and there was no icon on the panel, I simply could not find it any more (it did not close), this was the same for the terminal as well . How can I make the Firefox icon visible on panel (or workplaces) even it was minimized? Thank you. Jim
