shadow-utils problem
by Matt Lawrence 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

In an effort to discover some of the details in /etc/shadow, I have downloaded and rebuilt the SRPM. It seems to be missing a dependency of gcc-c++. After installing that, the build went fine. Also, does anyone have a pointer to detailed information about /etc/shadow? The man page is many years out of date and is now a bit incorrect.

It's kind of must have design feature where hercules does pass the floating point operations to host fp unit directly. It would slow down ten fold or more if it would not do so. This efectively means that for some packages the test phase fails under hercules even tho it's not failing on real iron. I've had access to real iron (not currently) and been able to verify that very same compilers + other parts makes testing work on real iron and fail under hercules. Resulting binaries still being good on oth platforms. Therefore i just have to trust that binaris are ok even tho the internal test procedures are failing. This is the case for s390 with mysql. s390x compiles + tests just fine. I start to make a note in these announcements if i have been forced to skip the package internal testing phase for being able to make binary RPMS. Something like there is below for s390. It's just in case somene should rely on this distribution on real iron as i am not able to verify/support this scenario. With hercules we're all in same wagon - if it's not working, it's fixable for us :) s390: (had to disable check/test) updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-bench-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-devel-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm updates/s390/RPMS/mysql-server-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390.rpm s390x: updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-bench-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-devel-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm updates/s390x/RPMS/mysql-server-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.s390x.rpm -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/

WhiteBox 4 -> CentOS4.1 - Yum
by Tom Brown 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi Is it possible to swap the yum.conf from my centos box onto my whitebox box and have the whitebox machine use centos updates through yum? CentOS seems further ahead and far quicker at roll outs than whitebox? thanks

Hi all, this is an off topic suggestion request. I am looking for a very simple tool to basically manage employee datas, personal information as well as their contracts, holidays etc. I have been looking on sourceforge and googling, thinking something would come out but had no luck. Before I start anything myself, is there anyone that can suggest a preferibly LAMP free open source application? Thanks, have a nice day

07 Oct '05

Hello List, It seems whenever I try to download something via Firefox (which is saved by default to the GNOME desktop), I would still need to press Ctrl-R (Refresh) to make the new item show up. Anybody here know why this is so? Is there any tweak that I can do to make new items display automatically? Any help would be apprecidated. Best regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

Disappearing mouse on CentOS 4.1
by Alfred von Campe 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

For the second time in two days, my mouse just "disappeared" from my desktop system running CentOS 4.1 (yes, I'm using CentOS as a workstation). At the time, I was trying to open the main Gnome menu from the panel, and I think my hand slipped before I released the mouse button. I tried accessing an alternate console (Ctrl-Alt-1) and then coming back to the X11 desktop (Alt-F7) but that didn't fix the problem. Alt-Tab wouldn't cycle through windows, and when I tried to do a xkill from the active xterm window, I got a "Can't grab the mouse" error. I killed the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and logged back in, and everything is back to normal. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to debug this next time it happens? To be fair, I should tell you that I am using Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net) to share the mouse and keyboard of the CentOS system with two other systems (my CentOS box is the Synergy server). I've been using Synergy for a long time, and CentOS almost as long, and have never had this problem until this week. My last yum update was on 9/17 and it did update the xorg-x11 packages. I wonder if this is a bug in the latest release... Alfred

install on dell precision 380 with RAID
by Jerry Geis 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

All, I am installing centos 4.1 on dell precision 380 with RAID on the motherboard. I have setup the disks as RAID and when I get to the manual partition page I see both disks??? It uses the intel matrix storage manager. I was expecting to only see one drive? Have I done something wrong? Thanks, Jerry
