Pcmcia notebook card configuration
by Anthony Lordi 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

I just installed CentOS v.2.1 on my laptop, and am not familiar with and wondered if CentOS has a pc card config gui. I have DSL and a dhcp router and modem setup. I can't find a card setup for my wired eth0 card in CentOS. And, I'm command line deprived. Everything seems to work except the pc cards. Both the wired and wireless are Linksys. Help. Tony

nvidia driver problem, cant load
by Roger D Vargas 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Im trying to install an old nvidia driver, the last that has support for obsolete cards. But when the compilation process ends I get an error: says that kernel version is not the same of the sources used to compile driver. I checked version of kernel sources and running kernel and they are the same, can somebody tell me whats wrong? -- Roger D.

yum group install [DNK]
by Dustin Krysak 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Hi there -- i am just looking for clarification on the yum "group install" option.... How can you tell what are valid groups? IE I found the below example on google: yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" I have heard references to doing things like: yum groupinstall "Development Tools" But to the point - is there a list of valid groups for install? ---------- Dustin Krysak Backbone Technology Inc. 604.713.8560

CentOS 4.2 x86_64
by Fong Vang 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

I have a couple of 64-Bit Xeon's with CentOS 4.2 x86_64 installed on them. They don't all have the same motherboards. I've having a difficult time getting CentOS 4.2 x86_64 to boot on some of them in SMP mode (UP works fine). After the installation of CD, it boots up but kernel panics with the following error: Badness in i8042_panic_blink at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c:992 This is the call trace: apic_timer_interrupt+133 vgacon_cursor+0 oops_end+64 release_console_sem+369 error_exit+0 :scsi_mod:scsi_delete_timer+19 :3w_9xxx:twa_interrupt+1323 do_IRQ+197 mwait_idle+86 cpu_idle+26 The Uni processor works fine. I tried the SMP kernel from Fedora Core 4 x86_64 which works fine as well. Any idea what's going on here? I've already tried disabling as many things from the BIOS as possible. Thanks for any help.

Remote printing problem
by P Marvin Eberly 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

Hello list, I am trying to set up a remote Epson printer with a Epson print server attached. I am using IPP and when setting up a print queue from system- config-printer, I am unable to print a test page. I get this error: There was a problem sending CUPS test page to 'remote740' queue: lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable I can however print a test page from http://localhost:631/printers, whether I set up the queue in http://localhost:631/printers or in system-config-printer. If I set up a queue from the web interface system-config-printer does not see it, but the web interface sees any queue I set up. This is a fully updated CentOS 4.2 Athlon XP machine and I have this remote printing working perfect from FC3 and from CentOS 3 machines on this network. The queue is never seen in OO or any other apps that I've tried to print from. I am probably missing something simple, but cannot find it. Thanks for any ideas, Marvin

Getting rid of all the .rpmsave files
by Remco Barendse 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

Hi list! After yum upgrade of my CentOS 4.0 to 4.2 x86_64 box I now have countless .rpmsave files, about 90% of them I never touched or are config/start scripts. Does anyone have a neat script that will find all the rpmsave stuff in /etc and then prompts per file whether it can replace the original or not? Somehow doing this all by hand doesn't seem a very attractive idea :) Thanks!!

Why are dots in username & groupname no longer allowed?
by Remco Barendse 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

For some strange reason I am no longer able to create groupnames or usernames (with useradd and groupadd) that contain a dot. Uptill now it was possible to create user&groupnames like c.smith but now I get these errors: [root@server etc]# useradd c.smith useradd: invalid user name 'c.smith' [root@server1 etc]# groupadd c.smith groupadd: c.smith is a not a valid group name Anything without a dot works without problems. The box is a (fully updated) CentOS 3.6 x86_64 box with Dual Opteron cpu. Thanks for any hints!

ATI not supporting dpms
by Sam Drinkard 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

This workbox was thrown together with only a little bit of thought as to what the role would ultimately be, and at the time, I did not think it would ever wind up serving linux applications. Error #1 (my fault) Having a healthy pocketbook when I went into pick things up, I had already decided I wanted a good relatively mid-range graphics card, and I chose the ATI X600. (Error #2) As it turns out, the machine does absolutely nothing I ever intended for it to do, and probably will never fall into the role of a M$ server of any sort. Chalk one up for the good guys! To reduce the number of trips or exchanges back and forth to get it corrected (if that is possible) the software still does not work. Snowman
