Annoying Mouse Tricks
by Mark Weaver 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Hi All, Something that just has been annoying the daylights out of me for the past 9 months with no resolution in site. I've got a Hawking HKS 104 4 port KVM connecting my Linux workstation, 2 servers, and my wife's windows workstation to one monitor, mouse, and keyboard. No matter how I toggle back and forth whether by keyboard or directly on the device once I come back to the linux desktop scroll wheel on mouse no longer functions. Except for a brief time while running CentOS 4.4 it's always been this way. I've googled until there were just no more places left on the internet and searched through CentOS archives until I'd read everything from balls to bones without finding any helpful information. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on how a fella might resolve this? When I restart the machine (Linux) the scroll mouse works normally, that is until I toggle to the windows machine and back again or to one of the servers and back again. Then the mouse functions like a two button mouse not having a scroll wheel. I appear to be stuck in KVM hell with this. -- Mark "If you have found a very wise man, then you've found a man that at one time was an idiot and lived long enough to learn from his own stupidity." ============================================== Powered by CentOS5 (RHEL5)

samba centos and cups client errors
by Dave 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Hello, I have a CentOS 4.4 box acting as a print server with a cups backend and samba 3.2.4. I recently ran yum which updated both cups and cups-libs, but i do not think this is my problem. I've added windows drivers to the samba sharea and have in the past printed a test page to the printer. Now when i atempt to do this with a word document from a windows box, i am getting the error: client not authorized. It is showing me connecting to the print$ share as my user which have SePrintOperatorPrivilege, then i get the error from cups about the client not being authorized. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

cpuspeed on centos 5
by Jerry Geis 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

It appears as cpuspeed is not running on my centos 5 box(s). One is a biostar motherboard Am2 6400+ the other is Asus am2 4800+. If I do "service cpuspeed stop" it says OK, If I do a "service cpuspeed start" is says OK. However at no time is cpuspeed running. /proc/cpuinfo only shows the cpu running at 1000 Mhz. If I manually run "cpuspeed -C & " I now have cpuspeed running as a process and /proc/cpuspeed shows 2200 mhz. service cpuspeed stop then stops this process as it should. service cpuspeed start does not start cpuspeed again... Any ideas? Jerry

Centos for entry level server : Motherboard?
by Alex ＠ Avantel Systems 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

I've been burned by Sata not working on an Asus motherboard (nVidia / nForce) and need to select something that will work for a fairly light duty web/mail/sql server. How do I go about finding out if a specific motherboard will work with sata software raid and Centos 4.4 (or 5.x when it's settled down).

CentOS5 consistent media check failures 2 - 6.
by William L. Maltby 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Folks, As much as I hate to, I feel I need to post my long story and ask help. Shortly after the release announcement, I kicked off rtorrent and downloaded the CD and DVD images. Since my cable provider does my "throttling", I disabled throttling and shared for several days, "returning" several GBs at no objectionable loss I could discern. While that was going on, I used cdrecord (don't jump to conclusions here, read on) via CLI to burn the CDs. This on a fully-up-to-date CentOS... well here uname -a Linux centos01.homegroannetworking 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL #1 Tue Feb 27 09:24:42 EST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:graphics-3.0- ia32:graphics-3.0-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 4.4 (Final) Release: 4.4 Codename: Final CD writer is a generic 52x24x52x that I have used to burn many CDs before w/o problems. On this unit and the other I'll mention, the writer is master on IDE channel 2. Neither has an HD on that channel currently. The other unit has SATA drives and the writer is again on IDE 2 by itself. Disc 1 passes media check and 2 - 6 fail consistently. Checks OK: ...CentOS-5.0-Old]$ md5sum -c md5sum.txt CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-1of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-2of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-3of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-4of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-5of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-6of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso: OK IIRC, I also used the sha1 check (can't recall the command ATM) and it also passed. "NP" says I! I'll copy 'em over to my LFS machine and burn on the Lite- on DVD/CD* burner. Same results. Hmph. OK. Rtorrent unreliable (don't giggle - there's a difference in the images as evidenced by "cmp" below)? Download all but the DVD directly from the UofGA mirror. Save them in ...CentOS-New. Do similar things. ...CentOS-5.0-New]$ md5sum -c md5sum.txt CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-1of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-2of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-3of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-4of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-5of6.iso: OK CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-6of6.iso: OK md5sum: CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso: No such file or directory CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso: FAILED open or read md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 7 listed files could not be read Burned the CDs again. Media checks same as before - 1st passes and all others fail. Did again on the LFS machine, same results. All media as RW, some <=12x, some <=4x speeds. Was rewriting over media previously used for CentOS 4.0 install (keeping 4.3 CDs available) and other miscellaneous previously used RW CDs. Well... maybe they are bad now? All the ones I tried?! Unlikely. But be the type to avoid assumptions, burned disc 2 again on new media. It still fails. Jorge, in his long-running condemnation of Linux kernel SCSI implementations, again mentions his usual in the docs he provides and specifically states that kernel >=2.5 has problems (at least the rants about the wort-ever SCSI implementations have abated). So I figure I'll use something that does not involve CLI. BTW, by now I've learned that there are differences between the rtorrent created and downloaded-from-mirror images. So I go to my trusty CentOS desktop, get nautilus going, right the disc 2 image and write to CD. No improvement. Last data point. Right after I downloaded from the UofGA mirror, I did a cmp. All the rtorrent vs direct download images showed a byte difference at offset 32768 of "line 1". My rtorrent was still running (IIRC) serving others. OMG! Am I delivering corrupted images to many other users! I immediately shut down rtorrent. When I do the cmp *now*, now differences are noted. I checked cable seating on the "target" machine. OK. I tried reading the CDs on the same unit(s) that created them. I'm now suspecting "wetware" problems. ATM, I probably can't see the forest for the trees. Any thoughts, wisecracks, suggestions are welcome. TIA -- Bill
