Well, I spoke to soon. After installing gstreamer-ffmpeg, and creating
an .asoundrc file, I thought everything was perfect. All my music
applications were handling MP3s, FireFox was playing sounds, everything
was sweet.
And so I played some music in Rhythmbox. That lasted about four or five
songs, and then suddenly, the sound cut out. And at the same time, my
keyboard became unresponsive. I could close applications with my mouse,
but couldn't type anything in any application.
So I rebooted. …
[View More]And when I did, I got a "new hardware detected" old-
school interface. It said my Kenwood Audio device had been removed, and
I could either remove it's configuration, keep it, or do nothing. I
chose to keep it. Then the boot up continued.
When finally logged in again, I tried playing some music. No go. So I
checked the System Settings | Soundcard Detection utility, and guess
what - the Kenwood device is gone. There are no more tabs, there's just
one device option, the SB Live device which may or may not be the
default motherboard sound device. In any case, it has no speakers and
it's not the Kenwood Audio device, which is still attached to my
computer and is the device I want to use.
What happened to my sound card and how do I get it back?

It wouldn't have to. You would probably structure the script to E-mail
if the device was down & then exit. It would re-submit itself if the
device were up :-).

It will respond from another machine (WinXP). What port should I open on
the box trying to do the snmpwalk?

This sounds like firewalling, but the default snmpd.conf file is
very restrictive. Make sure the one on the target machine allows
it to respond.

That's a shame. Just finished going through the digests and saw it all.
Too bad the he and his adversaries couldn't work things out.

Yep. It was great. The only thing left to investigate is to see what it
takes to get these NICs to do full duplex (do I want this?) to my switch
(I think it's possible, have to do some reading). I configured them that
way, but upon boot something in IPCop seems to set them to half duplex.

:O Dyslexic keyboard interface digits! "triad", not "traid" is correct

I'm trying to use snmpwalk to look at other machines, but I can't get a
response. It keeps timing out. It can see itself, though. I haven't had
this problem with other machines and I don't know what's different.
Suggestions?
We operate a cluster of Sun Xeon IA32 servers with Centos 3.5. Nodes are
installed via a host-specific kickstart script which is generated for
each node from a master template. Thus all kickstart scripts are clones
of the master, edited for hostname, IP address etc only.
The CENTOS 3.5 ISO images are exported from a server & that remote NFS
mount is also configured in the master template. This works perfectly
well & a fully automated installation requiring no operator intervention
…
[View More]results.
We recently added some new Opteron nodes to give us some 64-bit
capability. These of course, use a slightly different master kickstart
template as they mount up a different ISO directory from the NFS server,
which contains the x86_64 version of Centos 3.5.
When we install these 64-bit nodes, however, we get the message: "that
directory could not be mounted from the server". On hitting OK we get
the usual dialogue box which displays our chosen server IP and the
correct x86_64 ISO directory, if we OK that, the NFS installation
proceeds unattended as normal.
I think we saw a similar thing with redHat 9 NFS kickstart installations
but it was quite variable.
Anyone seen that with CENTOS3 or RHEL3 & got any clues ?
TIA

List,
I've been bugged by the fact that the dpms function will not work on
this machine, and perhaps now I have some clue as to why. Looking at
the Xorg.0.log, I see where "Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such
file or directory)" which tells me perhaps this is the reason why it
won't turn off the monitor. Also, this line prior to the other.
`fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/". That part I can maybe fix, but I
have no clue what should be …
[View More]in the /dev/apm. The only thing that will
happen is the monitor will go into screeensaver mode, or if no saver
selected, it will do nothing, not even blank.
What should the /dev/apm contain? Where does it pick up the info as
to what should be in there, from a probe of the hardware? That said,
does the fact that I'm using a custom video driver from ATI make any
difference?

Hello everybody.
I have been using Mirrordir for a long time and I wanted to know if some of
you have been able to use it on a CentOS 4 system.
When I try to mirror something, I receive the following error:
[root@box scripts]# mirrordir ./test ./test2
Segmentation fault
I have downloaded the RPM from here (version 0.10.41-1) :
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/backup/
Is there any other RPM compatible with CentOS 4 ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel
