In the market for a new (old) laptop
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Changes at my day job (we have a big merger being finalized), has me in the market for a new laptop. They may require me to only run the approved XP build on the system they provide. I do not know if they will fund another unit for me or not, so I am looking to go cheap. Here is what I am looking for: Runs Centos (duh!) Supports Suspend to memory as well as to disk. Bootable from USB devices, e.g. USB CDdrive, SD card, etc. 12" LCD, ie. a small unit that can be used on a plane! Good battery life, 2nd battery an option (min 4hr battery time, perfer 8hr). Swappable drives (preferably not requing a screw driver as my old Portege or a non-findable drive carrier as my HP nc4010). Built in Ethernet, and 2 USB 2.0 ports miniPCI wireless (external antenna options would be nice!) Eraser-head mouse pointer (IBM thinkpad-style), optional addtional touchpad (I hate touchpads for D&D. Bluetooth would be nice, but own many Bluetooth USB tokens. Don't need weight, power-draw of a CD/DVD drive, got a USB one when needed. Did I say light? I will be having to drag at least 2 laptops on planes all the time now. I dislike Dells, am OK with IBM (but it's not IBM any more!), Toshiba Porteges are old friends, and HP Compaq nc4000s.... So who has what working?????

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljs aka missing link from /usr/lib64/libjs.so to /usr/lib64/libjs.so.1
by Erik Wasser 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hello list, I'm trying to compile a php4 package for centos5 and I'm stumbling across some "oddity" with the symbolic links of at least one library. But it's not a php4 problem, so read on. The package 'js' gives the library /usr/lib64/libjs.so.1 but shouldn't there be a link from /usr/lib64/libjs.so to /usr/lib64/libjs.so.1? Otherwise my compiler call % gcc -o conftest -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -I /usr/include/httpd -I /usr/include/apr-1 -Wl,-rpath,/lib -L/lib -ldb -lreadline -ltermcap -Wl,-rpath,/usr/kerberos/lib64 -L/usr/kerberos/lib64 conftest.c -lexpat -lcrypt -lpspell -lpcre -lm -lgmp -ldb -lcurl -lbz2 -lz -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz -lcurl -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lresolv -ldl -lidn -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lcrypt -ljs will only return /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljs collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Because ld looks for the library at different places but always with an plain .so extension. A call to 'ldconfig' doesn't change the situation: % ldconfig ; find /lib{,64} /usr/lib{,64} | grep libjs.so /usr/lib64/libjs.so.1 To make a long story short: I can create the symbolic link on my own, that is not a problem but I'm using mock to build my RPMs and changing the root enviroment seems to be a very dark side for fixing the problem. And the mock user can't change the root enviroment because he's a simple user and not root. Is this a bug or a feature beyond my little wisdom? How can I fix this in an "appropriate" way? B-) Greetings -- So long... Fuzz

BIOS upgrade side effects
by Ted Miller 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Are there any possible undesirable effects of a BIOS upgrade? The worst I can think of is something that would change my SATA drives from being mapped as SCSI to being mapped as IDE. Ted Miller Indiana

Centos 5 scsi adapter support
by Olaf Mueller 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Hello, I think about to change my desktop system from fedora core 6 to centos 5. But on checking out if my hardware is supported by centos 5 I could not find any support for my scsi adapter which needs a advansys.ko module (Advanced System Products, Inc ABP940-U / ABP960-U). Does centos 5 has support for this adapter by default or maybe by a kernel like centosplus? regards Olaf

Super Simple question - command to see iptables nat rules
by dnk 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Hi there, I have been reading the man page, and i know this is something sooo simple that is escaping me at the moment, but.... I simply (from the CLI) want to see what public ip is mapped to what private IP for what ports... but want to narrow it down to particular ones... IE I have Pub IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and want to see what internal ip it is mapped to.... I know it is something along the lines of: # iptables -L -t nat ..... I tried something like: # iptables -L -t nat | grep xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx My brain is giving up on me too early today.... =-)
