Centosplus & CentOS Extras, Enlarge your tent
by Jim Smith 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I think Jim (the other one) is doing a marvellous job with extras and plus but he needs to expand the size of his tent. A sensible package policy in extras/plus repo will mean fewer temptations to install 3rd party repo's that can break your system. Some of the packages i would like to see are :- - MySQL 5 rpms - php 5 rpms (already provided) - Open Office 2.0 rpms - webmin - rkhunter - chkrootkit - tripwire - Adobe, Realplayer & Java plugins (though licensing might be a hindrance) - wine from winehq __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

CentOS 3 and probably missing gd package
by Petr Klíma 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hello In http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/updates/SRPMS/ there is file gd-1.8.4-12.3.1.src.rpm but in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/updates/i386/RPMS/ there is no gd-1.8.4-12.3.1.i386.rpm as well as in all other architectures ... Is it OK ? I check several mirrors and the situation is the same thanks Petr Klíma e-mail: petr.klima(a)madeta-group.cz MADETA Group a.s. phone: +420 389 136 209 Rudolfovská 246/83 web: http://www.madeta-group.cz 370 50 České Budějovice Czech Republic

Controller detection order
by Nick Wales 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi, I have a dell poweredge 850 with centos 4, freshly installed. I'm now trying to add in a fibre -> sata raid enclosure with LSI HBA's in the 850. My problem is the enclosure gets detected first, hijacking sda and sdb from the internal SATA drive and causing kernel panic at boot time. I've tried changing the order in modprobe to the following: alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 tg3 alias eth2 e1000 alias eth3 e1000 alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptbase alias scsi_hostadapter2 mptscsih alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd previously ata_piix was below the other two. This hasn't made any difference though. Can anyone suggest any solutions? thanks Nick

SMART for SATA devices ?
by Bards1888 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I noticed that the changelog for the new kernel 2.6.9-34 on the redhat enterprise watchlist states on of the fixes as; 145061 - SMART support in SATA driver (P1) Does this mean that with that kernel we should be able to interrogate SATA drives now ? Cheers, Bards.

Dell TrueMobile 1400 Wireless card
by Peter Kitchener 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Has anyone had any luck with getting the Dell TrueMobile 1400 A/B/G wireless card working under Linux? I have experimented with ndiswrapper, i have had nothing but problems trying to get it to work. I was wondering if anyone has found a native Linux driver for the card. It uses a Broadcom 4309 chipset. Regards, Peter

CentOS4 on Dell Inspiron 9300
by Matt Lawrence 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I just purchased a Dell Inpiron 9300 from the Dell Outlet store. Installing CentOS4 went very, very smoothly until I tried configuring X. The 17" screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio with a 1920x1200 resolution. The best I could manage using system-config-display was 1600x1200. So, after a bit of research, I hand editted the xorg.conf file (reproduced below) and it now works great. Maybe there was a simpler solution, but I didn't know one. Enlightenment would be welcome, but in the meantime, here's a solution that works. Enjoy. # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.
