VMWare Client COS 5 Disk Type
by John Thomas 18 May '07

18 May '07

When creating a VMWare client that is Cent OS 5, the default SCSI disk is not recognized by the installer. Any suggestions for getting a disk on a COS5 client? Possible alternatives: 1) IDE disk, seems to work fine, 2) ??. Follow up to choice 1, is there a performance hit? While I have you, what is the best choice for "Guest Operating System".? Choices include RHEL, RHEL 4, and Other 2.6 Kernel. -- Sincerely, John Thomas

Alpha port for CentOS-5
by Karanbir Singh 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi guys, there seem to be a few people interested in the Alpha port for CentOS-5. And here is what the situation is : 1) There is a functional Alpha available at my home. 2) I am not interested in doing any of the porting work but will be happy to help with some parts of the testing. So, now the situation is - how many people are really interested ? And if there is enough interest - how many people really want to put in the efforts ( and have the know how ) to work on this ? If there is enough interest, I am happy to make my Alpha available over remote access to the people who are going to work on the port. the machine has enough ram and enough resources to handle most of the work, I've been building CentOS-4 kernels and gcc / glibc on there - its a dual cpu EV5 series machine. Finally, if there is enough interest - then I'd like to move the conversation to centos-devel list. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

confused with 2 boxes centos 5
by Jerry Geis 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi All, I had a box centos5 AMD64 X2 4200+, Asus motherboard, Nvidia 7100 video card, 512M, when playing a video at 1080p it did well but had a couple times went out of sync. So amd dropped its price and I got a 5200+, gigabyte motherboard, Nvidia 7100 video card, 512M. This FASTER system is actually slower. The video is WAY behind on sync. I have looked at the X config they are the same. I have the same mplayer version I have the same centos 5 version The CPU usage is actuall below 60. I ran "cpuspeed -C &" on both boxes /proc/cpuinfo on both boxes report the correct values. 4200+, 512cache, clocked at 2200 5200+ 1024 cache, clocked at 2600 What can be causing the faster machine to SUCK so bad at playing the video back? THanks, Jerry

dependecies blahs
by Abba Communications 18 May '07

On a centos 4.4 yum update I get this Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.14(libmysqlclient_14) is needed by package MySQL-python Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.14 is needed by package MySQL-python I don't want to overly speculate... is it just a mirrors syncing thing or? Only thing I can think of is I installed perl 5.8.8 from centosplus repo in the last week for Spamassassin purposes and it snagged some mysql stuff at same time. Thanks in advance - rh -- Abba Communications Spokane, WA www.abbacomm.net

centos5 - yum groupinstall and yum grouplist
by Abba Communications 18 May '07

18 May '07

If I do a minimal centos 5 install Then if I do a yum -y update then if I do a yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries" (is that syntax right, it works)? both are installed yet if I yum grouplist this is all that shows up as installed even though both are installed Installed Groups: Development Libraries System Tools Dialup Networking Support Network Servers Mail Server If I check to see if I can install them individually after that they both say there are installed and up to date. :-) Just wondering if it was something that needs to be addressed as a minor inconvenience or pretty output type bug thanks -- Abba Communications Spokane, WA www.abbacomm.net

CentOS 4.4 on Thinkpad T30
by Alfred von Campe 18 May '07

18 May '07

I installed CentOS 4.4 on an old T30 I had lying around using a slightly modified kickstart file that I use to install on desktop systems. I had to manually fix the resolution for X, but everything appears to work fine out of the box otherwise. Except for two issues: o After a period of inactivity (> 30 minutes), the laptop will go to sleep and I can not wake it up other than a hard reset/reboot. o If I pull the network cable, almost every command hangs (this is with a local account, although the system is configured for NIS); if I reconnect the network, the hanging commands complete (I've tried running strace, but that hangs as well). I think the second issue also happens on my desktop systems, so it's not related to the laptop itself, but it is more likely that a laptop be used off the network. Any suggestions? Alfred

by Todd Cary 18 May '07

18 May '07

I have a USB disk and when I turned it on in the past, it's icon would appear on my GUI Desktop. Now it is no longer visible. In terminal mode, if I do a cd to /media/usbdisk, all of my data is there. What am I missing here? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523
