Configuring X after instal on CentOS4
by James B. Byrne 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

Many thanks for the help. The effects of my mis-guided efforts to increase the screen resolution past what the hardware would bear have been corrected. I now have a supplementary question. There does not seem to be a man page or an info entry foe system-config-display and I cannot find a reference to it via apropos. How does one inform oneself about this utility or what am I doing wrong in my search for documentation?

One of those things where there isn't a black > and white better daemon. This however doesn't answer OP's question. It is an interesting choice. It supports multi-master replication which I will need and has some GUI management utilities. Anyone know of any problems with it? Bowie

Video Recording
by Lee W 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi, I would like to record some training/advertising videos, in a similar format to those offered by CBT Nuggets (and others). Essentially this means I need to be able grab real video (e.g. webcam or DV camcorder, etc) as well as what is on the computer screen (VNC Recorder maybe) and audio. In terms of output I would like it to be in Ogg Theora format as these seems to be supported both on Linux & Windows (though media player plugins), it is also an open standard which beats all the other available formats. Does anyone have any suggestions for such a program, even if it is suite of different programs. My google/freshmeat search results have so far been not very useful. Thanks in advance Lee

cloning drives
by lists 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Good day everyone - This maybe somewhat OT, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good tool for cloning *nix drives. The one thing though is that I will be cloning a smaller drive than the destination drive and would like to distribute the free space accordingly on the new drive. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance. :::::::::::::::::::::: Dustin

Tyan S2891 and CentOS
by rik＠harddata.com 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

I am trying to install CentOS to a server that has a Tyan S2891 motherboard, 2 Opteron 875 Dual Cores and 2GB of RAM. I have been able trying to install over a network but the tg3 driver will not load. I then installed from a DVD and on rebooting after the installation I cannot get the network drivers to load and the RAID controller in the PCI slot is not available. It seems that when I do an lspci -tv the only a minimal amount of devices are seen.

I'm not resistant to changing programs. We are in a testing mode now and I have barely even started looking into how to configure multi-master replication in OpenLDAP. The showstopper at the moment is that FDS 1.0 does not currently support x86_64, which is what our production servers will be running. Bowie

/var partition and recovery

greetings bryan, did you say that in your experience the /var partition should _not_ be on the extended partition table for "recovery" purposes? - rh

Re: [CentOS] /var partition and recovery

If you have a separate boot partition, I'd not only suggest making it a primary partition for the same reason, but also mounting it read-only for oops-protection.

Nope, not at all. I put /var in Extended, LVM and, if you can believe it, even LDM (yes, Windows "dynamic disk" disk label format ;-). I only avoid putting root (/) in anything but a primary partition for recoverability. Even if I use a separate /boot (I rarely do -- I keep my root do only a few GBs max), I still like it outside of any compound disk label. -- Bryan J.
