Someone on the opennms mail list just mentioned that RHEL up2date now provides sun java. Is that a possibility for the Centos repositories? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Intel 965 Chipset and CentOS 5
by J 03 May '07

03 May '07

I'm trying to install CentOS 5 on an Intel DG965W MB, but I'm getting a kernel panic: VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(253,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(253,0) I suspect it is because the drive is not being recognized (at all), but I'm not sure. I've tried various combinations of flags, including: all-generic-ide, pci=nommconf, remapping [enabled], irqpoll, acpi=off ... ... but the result is always the same... Are there issues with this chipset and Centos 5? ( RHEL's HCL is unhelpful. It was empty, when I checked. )

Grip for CentOS 5?
by Preston Crawford 03 May '07

03 May '07

Does anyone know where you can find an RPM for this? I'm just trying to rip some MP3s on my upgraded box. The last of the things I can't do. Preston

Didn't Sun Open Source most of Java. Maybe this is a route for all Linux distros to standardize Java with OpenJDK

Re: [CentOS] Good things about CentOS 5; problem with flash in seamonkey [SOLVED]
by Mark Hull-Richter 03 May '07

03 May '07

For the interest of all concerned: The 32-bit version of Seamonkey works perfectly with the flash plugin. I haven't tested others yet, including the acrobat reader, but I have much more confidence that problems encountered there will be easily soluble. Thanks to all who contributed, especially Jim Perrin, who gave me the critical clue as to what was not working. -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-330-7691 - fax Ask me about CentOS Linux, and escape from Windows forever!

Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024 - Centos 5
by Paul 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hello all, I can't get higher than 1280x1024 resolution (60hz, 24 depth). I'm running Centos 5 x86 64bit on AMD Athlon64 x2 4600, Geforce 6200 PCI express. Even as root, that is the highest I can set the display. I am guessin the kernel does not support my combo? I've also tried Nvidia's driver from their site, this is what I get: # more nvidia-installer.log nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Mon Apr 30 22:11:36 2007 option status: license pre-accepted : false update : false force update : false expert : false uninstall : false driver info : false precompiled interfaces : true no ncurses color : false query latest version : false OpenGL header files : true no questions : false silent : false no recursion : false no backup : false kernel module only : false sanity : false add this kernel : false no runlevel check : false no network : false no ABI note : false no RPMs : false no kernel module : false force SELinux : default no X server check : false force tls : (not specified) force compat32 tls : (not specified) X install prefix : (not specified) X library install path : (not specified) X module install path : (not specified) OpenGL install prefix : (not specified) OpenGL install libdir : (not specified) compat32 install chroot : (not specified) compat32 install prefix : (not specified) compat32 install libdir : (not specified) utility install prefix : (not specified) utility install libdir : (not specified) doc install prefix : (not specified) kernel name : (not specified) kernel include path : (not specified) kernel source path : (not specified) kernel output path : (not specified) kernel install path : (not specified) proc mount point : /proc ui : (not specified) tmpdir : /tmp ftp mirror : ftp://download.nvidia.com RPM file list : (not specified) Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)?

CentOS 5.0 and jed
by Gregory P. Ennis 03 May '07

03 May '07

Everyone, Sorry for this second post but one of the members pointed out to me I had posted it in a thread belonging to a different subject. I am trying to use CentOS 5.0 in place of SCO OpenServer 5.0 as well as replacing terminal Word Perfect. I have looked at jed which is available via the Fedora extras and it appears to have what I will need. Do any of you have an CentOS 5.0 rpm for jed or know where I might find one. Thanks, Greg Ennis

rsync problems on windows
by Ruslan Sivak 03 May '07

03 May '07

I'm trying to use the CentOS server for windows backups. I want to use rsync to get the data over there. I downloaded cwrsync, but I'm having issues getting it to work. I keep getting: "Disconnecting: Timeout, server not responding." Has anyone seen anything like this? Here is a transcript: C:\Documents and Settings\Russ>rsync -vvvvvvv /cygdrive/c/temp/xr backup-db@192. 168.1.5:/home/backup-db/test cmd= machine=192.168.1.5 user=backup-db path=/home/backup-db/test cmd[0]=ssh cmd[1]=-l cmd[2]=backup-db cmd[3]=192.168.1.5 cmd[4]=rsync cmd[5]=--s erver cmd[6]=-vvvvvvv cmd[7]=. cmd[8]=/home/backup-db/test opening connection using ssh -l backup-db 192.168.1.5 rsync --server -vvvvvvv . /home/backup-db/test backup-db(a)192.168.1.5's password: Disconnecting: Timeout, server not responding. _exit_cleanup(code=20, file=rsync.c, line=242): entered rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at rsync.c(242) [sender] _exit_cleanup(code=20, file=rsync.c, line=242): about to call exit(255) And on the server, in secure.log I get: May 2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4337]: Accepted password for backup-db from 192.168.1.36 port 3392 ssh2 May 2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4337]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user backup-db by (uid=0) May 2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4339]: fatal: Write failed: Connection reset by peer May 2 18:08:58 localhost sshd[4337]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user backup-db I'm using "rsync version 2.6.7 protocol version 29" on the client. I used the lates (2.6.9 I believe), and downgraded from there, trying to get it to work. Russ
