Re: [CentOS] Vsftpd & Iscsi - fast enough
by Brent L. Bates 22 May '07

Hogwash! Never trust anything in a wiki. They can make up anything they like. With computers, it is always base 2 not 10. All your computer commands are going to give one base 2 numbers even disk drive space. Yes, the disk drive and probably tape drive manufactures are cheating you when they say MB as they mean base 10, but they know full well it is suppose to be base 2. It is like the monitor manufacturers who started measuring the plastic case and quoting that as the screen size. It is really a 15" monitor but with 2" of plastic, they call it 17".

font test does not go higher than 49 - centos 4 x86_64
by Jerry Geis 22 May '07

22 May '07

Below is a small script - ran by "wish -f file.tcl" When I run this script and move the slider bar at the bottom on centos 4 x86_64 I get increasing font sizes from 5 to 49. Anything 50 and after is all the same size. How do I get bigger fonts? THanks, Jerry -------------------------------------- proc updateText {args} { set text [.c1 find withtag text] foreach {name size type} [.c1 itemcget $text -font] {break} set font [list $name $::value $type] .c1 itemconfigure $text -font $font } set c [canvas .c1 -width 800 -height 600 -bg white] set s [scale .s1 -from 5 -to 200 -orient horizontal -var ::value -length 400] set text [$c create text 400 300 -text "Test" -anchor c -fill red -tag text -font Helvetica] trace variable ::value w updateText pack $c $s ------------------

redhat sources release time?
by Jaime Ventura 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hello. Since CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor, can that "prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor" delay the release of the source of a specific package? If yes, for how long? Thanks

divide centos-announce
by Martin Marques 22 May '07

22 May '07

I was thinking the last few days, wouldn't it be better to divide the centos-announce list by the archs, so that if I'm interested in the i386 arch, I only get those, and not the ia64, or the s390. Just a thought. -- 21:50:04 up 2 days, 9:07, 0 users, load average: 0.92, 0.37, 0.18 --------------------------------------------------------- Lic.

xfontsel
by Jerry Geis 22 May '07

22 May '07

I was reading where xfontsel is the OLD method of selecting fonts before antialiasing. What is the new method to show available fonts on the system and select them? How do I list or show the available anti-aliases fonts? Jerry

How to install the devsys after the fact
by Peter Lauda 22 May '07

22 May '07

I'm running with CentOS 4.3 and the system was setup originaly with no development system and no kernel sources. I'm trying to get the headers and libraries installed and it is giving me fits. I've followed the suggestions on several threads and tried to yum install gcc, kernel-headers, kernel-devel but I seem to not be able to get /usr/include or use/include/sys packages... don't know what they're called even. Has anyone succesfully installed these things after the OS and can you please point me at some howtos or docs on how it's done? Any help gratefuly appreciated. Cheers! --p

by Jerry Geis 22 May '07

I have a simply script that I cannot get a font size bigger than 40. Changing the font_size value to 80 does not make the font any bigger just the background. How do I get a bigger font than 40? I run this script as "wish -f file.tcl" What am I doing wrong to not get bigger fonts? THanks, Jerry --------------------------------------------- set font_size 40 set show_window_title 0 set disable_window_decorations 1 set screen_width [winfo screenwidth . ] set screen_height [winfo screenheight . ] set window_x 0 set window_y 0 set my_message "This is my message..." wm geometry . ${screen_width}x${font_size}+${window_x}+${window_y} wm overrideredirect . $disable_window_decorations font create ourFont -family helvetica -size $font_size set c [canvas .c -height $font_size -width $screen_width -background black -highlightthickness 0 ] pack $c $c create text 10 4 -text $my_message -font ourFont -anchor nw -fill red ~ ~
