Sensors-applet-0.2.2
by Sam Drinkard 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

List, I grabbed the sensors-applet file, and assumed there would be some note about how to execute it or add it to the panel. Nada.. in the README, there is an indication of ./configure --prefix=/usr and that's it. From what I read on a web page about it, and the screenshots, there should be something to configure the values. Heck, I can't even find the file now that its installed.. how does one go about getting the applet up and running? This is the x86-64 version if that matters..... Thanks... -- Snowman

Re: [Off-list] Re: [CentOS] Updates not catching up ?

Hi Bryan, Thanks for the reply. That was my first post to the list and sorry if my next comments seem too hard but... My idea to move from fedora to centos was trying to get a stable distribution that I can afford with long term plans for support. Fedora works fine for me but it's focus on bleeding edge tends to leave "old" (1 year-old) releases without "strong" support. They have the legacy but even that stop a while. On the other hand wait a week for a security update come from rh to centos seems too much. Some may argue that I can always grab the src myself and compile/install but that is not the point here. Is there anything I can do to help ? On 10/12/05, Bryan J.

Re: [CentOS] Should I and can I upgrade GTK.+/PyGTK?
by Brian T. Brunner 12 Oct '05

More helpfully, the [B]leeding Edge stuff is what the Fedora Core are about. e.g. FC4 (now under distribution) stuff will arrive in or about RHEL5. Generally, if you don't see something in FC (current) you won't see it in RHEL (next) Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner(a)gai-tronics.com (610)796-5838 >>> mail-lists(a)karan.org 10/12/05 08:45AM >>> Dave Gutteridge wrote: > I downloaded the tar file and attempted to install it.

Looking for some recommendations for applications on CentOS (MP3, FTP)
by Dave Gutteridge 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Last time I asked for some recommendations on this list, I was told about some great software that I hadn't been able to find myself, so I'd like to ask again. I've been having a hard time finding software that satisfies in the following 2 areas: 1. MP3 player and play list manager. Something that can ideally generate smart playlists based on MP3 tags. (I've tried XMMS, Amarok, and Rhythmbox so far) 2. A GUI ftp application. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Dave

Upgrading kernel
by Kai 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

So here's my questions. 1. If I install Kernel manually (downloading latest kernel), is the .config file on my disc and can I use it so my starting point is the setup for this pc? Is this the one? /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-11.EL-i686/.config 2. There is a routine for upgrading a upgraded kernel with the rpm tool, is it available a upgraded kernel for Centos 4.1 or can I use latest fedora kernel? 3. I read some place how to make a kernel the rh way or something (making a rh kernel from the kernel.org kernel) Has someone a good routine for this? Small pointers and links would be appreciated. Spec. and info CentOS 4.1 – amd64 athlon s754 Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-11.EL #1 Wed Jun 8 16:59:52 CDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux I have been running 64bit and 32 bit back and forward a couple of times on my desktop and ended up going back to 32 bit. Even thou I now 32 bit programs run on 64 bit, I need Java fully supported. My concern is that I believe that I visually can see some difference in performance and that the 64 bit seems to be a little more stable and faster. My impression nothing more, programs don't hang as long etc. Therefore I would like to upgrade my Kernel to see if this will help me. kai

pointers for using CentOS box as filter for children
by Robert 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

greetings has anyone here setup a CentOS box to use as a home or business gateway for children through young adults or otherwise? i realize this is a generalized question and that iptables and many other things exist that could be implemented. im looking for a way to give the youngster the benefit of the doubt and allow them to "obey God/parents" first before they have to be totally restricted after having been disobedient. specifically we could do it two ways. one is, that which is not expressly permitted is denied... and i would prefer not to have to do it that way. it is too easy and may not allow for the child to choose to be obedient to God/parents. the other seems like it might be better, that which is not expressly denied is permitted... YET i want to make sure of only a few things if possible... how can i keep the youngster from using an IM program and how to make sure they are not transferring files larger that say 100k, ie no large music files etc? only small pics or homework things etc. can one hit a moving IM program protocol port target that recognizes the packets and shut it down? also, what packages out there are people using that have time based restrictions, like until 11pm or other configs? thanks - rh -- Robert Hanson - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services www.abbacomm.net
