Branding in Vim
by Ken Dreyer 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Hi, I noticed that CentOS's vim contains the line "Modified by <bugzilla(a)redhat.com>" on the splash screen. Should this be removed or changed to bugzilla(a)centos.com? - Ken Dreyer

CentOS samba MS Word corruption
by Paul Schoonderwoerd 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

We're using CentOS samba for about 20 workstations, mostly XP, some 2000 and two win98. Samba shares a data directory with Word, Excel and Access documents/db's. Also Exact for Dos is running from this share (executable and data). The users experience a long delay every morning opening the first Word document (Word 97, Word 2000). This could take 10 minutes or so. If they close Windows before the document is loaded and open it later on the document is corrupted. If they go for a cup of coffee in the meantime everything is fine. After the first document the rest of them reportedly has no problems (allthough I doubt this). Excel, Access and Explorer have no problems ! This is the global section of the smb.conf: --------- [global] log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log load printers = yes idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 wins server = 192.168.9.5 interfaces = 192.168.9.0/255.255.255.0 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers winbind use default domain = no template shell = /bin/false dns proxy = no cups options = raw netbios name = server02 server string = Samba Server idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 path = /tmp workgroup = WORKGROUP os level = 20 printcap name = /etc/printcap security = user preferred master = no max log size = 50 -------- Samba is running as a workgroup server, no domain integration or fancy stuff. There is still an older Windows 2000 server running as Wins server which is to be replaced by the CentOS server. I find these entries (below) in /var/log/messages which point to locking problems. By Googling I found reports from people who think the stock samba release RedHAt is broken with repect to locking and advice to upgrade to latest version. I would love to here your experiences and thoughts on this cause this gives me the creeps as you can imagine.

Evolution Woes
by Phil Schaffner 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Somewhat OT as this may not be CentOS/EL-specific. I am seeking help in trying to determine why the combination of my work e-mail server and evolution is usually, but not always, giving the error Error verifying signature Cannot verify message signature: Incorrect message format on signed messages (such as those from Ralph Angenendt and Johnny Hughes), and refusing to display them; while the same messages are readable with a webmail interface, in the list archives, or when they go to my home address that is also subscribed to some of the same lists (same version of evolution at home and work). This problem only started last week and the origin is probably related to infrastructure upgrades on the mail server, over which I have no control. Google has not come through on this one . Many of the results seem to lead to sources or change-logs containing the strings, not to similar problem reports of fixes. Can't find anything relevant in bugzilla.gnome.org, bugzilla.ximian.com, bugzilla.redhat.com, or bugs.centos.org. Have searched without success in the evolution docs and on-line for a way to turn off the checks in evolution so the message will display. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Anyone have a fix or work-around? Thanks, Phil

MeetingMaker 7.5 on CentOS 4 under Wine?
by David A. Woyciesjes 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Has anyone gotten MeetingMaker 7.5 to work right in wine? The app starts, but none of the text shows up at all. I did add the msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm, so I could see the text in Wine Config. I even copied all of the fonts from my WinXPSP2 box to the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts directory. What did I miss? After I get this running, I'm going to try to get Remedy ARS v6 running in Wine... :) -- --- David Woyciesjes --- ITS Help Desk Support Technician --- Yale University Client Support

From http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=artic le&sid=511&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 LXF: How quickly will the Centos project be able to move once RHEL 5 has been released in order to release Centos 5? (Centos is a community distro built on source packages released by Red Hat.) Karanbir Singh, Centos 5 lead: The release plan from our side is to have a public download available in 14 days from upstream release. The aim, on the other hand, is to try and get it out there as soon as possible. Unless there is some major breakage we will have the release out to our own QA team in three to five days, and then it's up to them as to when they consider it releasable. This is, however, only for the main architectures that we support: i386 and x86_64. All the other supported Architectures like the PPC and IA64 will run to their own release plan. You can expect release for those within a month from upstream. Dean

How to enable download via web browser with vsftpd?
by Indunil Jayasooriya 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

HI , I setup vsftp yesterday as a local user only mode. No anonymous was enabled. I set up this vsftpd on my machine running CentOS 4.4. its ip is 192.168.101.25. so when I login as ftp://192.168.101.25/ via web browser, I am promted the username as password. After inputing username and password, I can login successfully. Then I can download everything as usual. But I can not upload any data ? Why is that ? How to enable it via web browser? But, If I use command line mode, I can do both downloading (mget) and uploading (mput). pls see below.

CentOS 5 Beta Dual Boot Problem
by Styma, Robert E (Robert) 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

To test CentOS 5, I loaded from DVD adding it to a system at home running Fedora Core 7 T2. Partition Layout is: /dev/hda1 - / for the RH7T2 system /dev/hda2 - /home /dev/hda3 - swap /dev/hda4 - extended /dev/hda5 - / for CentOS 5 The system loaded cleanly and gave me the opportunity to tell grub about the other system. CentOS boots fine. Grub Stage 2 will show me both systems. However, If I choose the FC7T2 system I get the following output: --------------------------------------------------------- Booting 'FC7T2' rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader +1 Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format --------------------------------------------------------- The CentOS grub.conf on /dev/hda5 looks like: #: cat /boot/grub/grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,4) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-1.2747.el5) root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2747.el5 ro root=LABEL=/1 quiet crashkernel=64M@16M initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2747.el5.img title FC7T2 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 --------------------------------------------------------- Any clues on how to fix this? Note, I am posting to both groups since I follow both and cannot figure out which is the better choice.

CentOS and Atheros
by John Summerfield 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

What's the easiest path to having my Atheros wireless cards supported, particularly in C5? In the past, I've chosen to download source and build my own, but that's become a little tiresome. At one point, OpenSUSE was the easy option, but since 10.1 it's dropped madwifi. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list

Default 4.4 kernel and NTFS?
by Scott R Ehrlich 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

I just installed Centos 4.4 and performed a Yum update to freshen all out-of-date files. I also have two IDE drives that are NTFS partitioned, but noticed they are not seen by the kernel. I visit /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-i686 and copy the Makefile.bak to Makefile and run make xconfig. Reviewing the supported filesystems, ntfs is not selected. Any reason why not? What is the easiest and safest way to get ntfs support? I could just download and compile the latest kernel, but there must be an easier, and just as safe, method for installing one simple option. Thanks. Scott
