rsync 5.1 base repo question
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

I have built my repo by copying the content of the ISO images, maintaining the date. When I test with: rsync -avun rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/os/i386/ \ --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.1/os/i386 the only file listed is: CentOS/yum-kernel-module-1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2.noarch.rpm Which I did not get from the ISOs. but if I leave off the -u option, the list is VERY long. Why? Also do I need to use the --delete option to get rid of rpms replaced with newer versions?

screen + mutt terminal issues.
by Steven Haigh 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi all, I'm trying to fix a display issue when using mutt inside a screen session. This issue came to my attention when the following posts hit my mailbox: 10723 Mário Gamito [CentOS] Another question Wed, Dec 05, 2007 ( 2.4K 10724 nate Re: [CentOS] Anyone using sendmail? Tue, Dec 04, 2007 ( 4.6K) The accent in Mario's name (post 10723 in my mailbox) seems to cause havok with the terminal emulation in mutt. I've experimented with the different terminal emulations (xterm, ansi, screen, linux, xterm-color etc) and found that: ansi = garbled screen. xterm = displays layout correctly, however highlight bars (in the index screen within mutt) only drawns a background colour when text is also drawn. xterm-color = displayis an issue is shown when using the up/down arrows over his posts. This corrupts the layout of the screen. usually a blank line is displayed below Mario's name. screen = same as xterm-color linux = same as xterm-color Does anyone know how I might be able to correct this? Is this an issue with screen or the termcap or maybe even mutt? -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 "Do not meddle in the affairs of UNIX, for it is subtle and quick to dump core." -- Anon.

Anyone using sendmail?
by Fajar Priyanto 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi all, Does sendmail support virtual-non-unix-users setup? Any URL about it? I tried to ask in #sendmail channel, but nobody answered. I google around, but, all url only talks about virtual domain and mapping to unix users.

Re: [CentOS] Re: SCSI bad block table display
by Ross S. W. Walker 06 Dec '07

Well it's not a clearly defined option, but it allows you to request all kinds of SCSI VPD pages from the disks and controllers, I was able to get a dump once don't remember the vpd page id I used to get it though, but I think it was an example in the man page... -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Wed Dec 05 19:21:14 2007 Subject: RE: [CentOS] Re: SCSI bad block table display From: Ross S.

While that seems to be on the right track it does not appear to dump/display the bad block table. hec _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

yum update for 5.0 ==> 5.1
by fred smith 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

I have read multipe messages here from people upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1, presumably using "yum update" to do the deed. When I do "yum update" on my (I think) fully updated Centos 5 system I get no updates. Am I just being impatient (i.e., the updates haven't yet been pushed out) or am I somehow missing them?

binary upgrade 5.0 to 5.1?
by Dave 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hello, I've googled for this but haven't found an answer. I've got a 5.0 box that i'd like to take to 5.1. I believe this is possible as i did an upgrade from 4.x to 5.0 but can't remember what i did. Ideally i'd like to avoid any downtime. Thanks. Dave.

backups and md5 all in one while splitting
by Ruslan Sivak 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

I'm trying to back up our svn repositories, and I found a nice little backup command line bzip's the backup and creates the md5 hash all in one: svnadmin dump --deltas /repo |bzip2 |tee dump.bz2 | md5sum >dump.md5 The problem is I need to split the backups, so this doesn't really work. Is there perhaps another way of piping things to allow for splitting of the backups? Currently I'm doing something like this svnadmin dump --deltas /repo |bzip2 |split - -b 64m cat *.bz2* | md5sum >dump.md5 Is there a way to do this all in one step? Russ

by Amos Shapira 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hello, Has anyone got Heartbeat 1.2.5 (latest Heartbeat 1 version) to compile and run on CentOS 5? I downloaded the source but hit difficulties compiling it, presumebly because it was never quite tweaked to run on the latest version. Thanks, --Amos

mp3 plugin for Rythmbox or Totem?
by Andrew Allen 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Can anybody please suggest a suitable plugin to enable playing of mp3 files with either Totem or Rythmbox. Both of these come as part of the CentOS 5 package, but strangely neither has the necessary plugin for mp3, which surely is a common enough format in the music world? Thanks, Andy

Hi, there isn't any version of yumex in 5.1 extras directory. Perhaps it is time for version 2.0.3?
