building cinelerra on CentOS 5
by Akemi Yagi 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I have just built cinelerra on CentOS 5 x86_64 and thought I should share my notes here for people who need it but cannot wait for the package to become available on rpmforge/dag. - Install the src.rpm for FC6 - Edit the .spec file and change the line BuildRequires: OpenEXR-devel to BuildRequires: openexr-devel - Create a symlink: ln -s /usr/include/OpenEXR /usr/include/openexr - Run rpmbuild You need to have all devel packages required. The main problem I encountered was that the FC6 version wants the OpenEXR package and the one I could find for CentOS was all in lowercase. Then during the compilation, it refers to /usr/include/OpenEXR thus the symlink. I don't know the exact consequences this modification would bring about. For now, the rebuilt rpm installed on my system without a hitch and the program runs well. Akemi

screen saver under centos 5
by Jerry Geis 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hi all, I am using centos 5. I need the screen to always be on. I have gone into System -> Preferences -> Screen saver and then I unchecked the "Activate screen saver when computer is IDLE" setting. I also edited the xorg.conf and commented out the dpms line. However, my screen is still going into some kind of screen saver. What else is there to disable? Thanks, Jerry

system crash by "find"
by Akemi Yagi 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Is it possible to crash a system just by running the find command? I connected to a machine running CentOS 5.0 x86_64 and issued a command: find / -name filename -print Now, this machine is not responding to a ping. I cannot see what happened until I get to the box tomorrow morning. Although I seldom do a find / , I had never seen this sort of problem before. Akemi

LPRng
by Mogens Kjaer 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I have a redhat 9 server I would like to migrate (install Centos on a new machine, and move the necessary files) to Centos 5. On the RH9 machine, I use LPRng for printing. This was mainly choosen because it makes it easy to control access to the printers using /etc/lpd.perms, something I never figured out how to do in cups. All printer queues are raw printers, the printer driver in Windows takes care of the rest. Anyone having success with LPRng on a newer RHEL/Centos?

CentOS 4.4 - added disk prevents system from booting past initrd
by Simen Thoresen 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hi people, I ran into one of these silly issues I'd like to share as I think the reason behind it may be a flaw in the current initrds. The setup; Dual-Xeon Intel-chipset motherboard. SATA-disk attached to ICH, onboard Adaptec SCSI-controller. Installed system, updated packages, no problems. Basic, non-LVM partition setup - OS-disk is /dev/sda, single filesystem-partition /dev/sda1 is labeled LABEL=/, and fstab uses the label to access the filesystem. I now add a SCSI-disk (previously used) to the onboard SCSI-controller, and the fun starts. The onboard controller is identified as scsi0 and scsi1, the SATA-disk sits on scsi2. SCSI-disk is thus /dev/sda, and SATA-disk becomes /dev/sdb. This should not be a problem as the fstab refers to the partition by label and not device name. And then disaster! While booting, the system issues 'Checking root filesystem' (I'm not 100% sure about the output here), and craps out on a badly broken /dev/sda1. On the SCSI-disk, /dev/sda1 is an extended partition, with /dev/sda5 being the partition that holds the filesystem. Thus fsck'ing /dev/sda1 does not bring any useful. But why? Why does the initrd insist on fsck'in /dev/sda1, when it should check LABEL=/? Is there something I'm not getting here? -S -- Simen Thoresen, Dolphin ICS Systems Administration and Wulfkit Support
