5-in-1 Card Reader in Acer Extensa 5220
by Olaf Mueller 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hello, I have installed CentOS 5 (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5) on my new Acer Extensa 5220 notebook and everything seems to work fine except of the following: 1) Display is ok, but could maybe be better? The driver is set to 'vesa' but should be 'intel', in my opinion. But 'intel' isn't working in xorg.conf. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 2) The 5-in-1 Card Reader isn't working. 0f:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) 0f:06.3 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller 3) The wlan card isn't detected, but that's no problem. I will buy a ralink rt61 based pcmcia card which works great under my toshiba tecra notebook with CentOS 5. 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) 4) Suspend; not tested this yet So the only real problem is 2). Is there a possibility to get this 5-in-1 Card Reader working under CentOS 5? Thank you very much! regards Olaf

Do we have any Zimbra users on the list?
by Johnny Hughes 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

All, Here is a request for Zimbra to provide official CentOS support: http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23487 Here is a poll that might help them see how many CentOS Customers they REALLY have: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/14136-foss-edition-most-popular-linux-di… I am not asking for anyone to do anything mean, or to say anything untrue, in fact, please don't. I am asking that if you use Zimbra on CentOS (either the Free Version or the Network Version) that you let them know that you are. If you would pay for Official support, let them know that too. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Urgent: Major bug in latest X.Org Update for CentOs 5
by Ioannis Vranos 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

OS: CentOS 5.1 x86. Hi, after applying the latest X.Org updates, applications have stopped running with an error message: "The program 'multiget' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 214 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)" Just checked the Red Hat errata link: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0031.html and it says: "[Updated 18th January 2008] The original packages distributed with this errata had a bug which could cause some X applications to fail on 32-bit platforms. We have updated the packages to correct this bug". Please fix ASAP!!! Ioannis (John)

You can't get there from here
by Miark 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Having been accomodating about it in the past, the technical geniuses at Comcast have permanently blocked port 25, separating me (at my home office) from my employer's e-mail server. What can be done on the server side to keep Postfix listening on 25 _and_ accept my connections on some other port? Is there a Postfix solution? iptables maybe? Miark

VDQ : Triple Boot Advice?
by Beartooth Testbedder 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Let me set up a Very Dumb Question (VDQ). My apologies in advance for repeating much of this to those who have been of such vast help getting me this far. (Followup to: is set as gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general) I have a testbed machine which currently has /dev/hda1 - 6, according to qtparted, with sizes 102 MB, 14 GB, 13 GB, 13 GB, 12 GB, and 14 MB respectively (rounded to nearest whole MB or GB). It actually boots only Ubuntu, which is on hda5. hda1 is /boot, and hda6 is swap. I had CentOS alone on the whole hard drive, and found that Ubuntu 6.06 couldn't keep it, by any means I could find, using the GUI installer. (Dunno if that's anaconda or something else.) Getting Ubuntu 6.06-alternate instead, I tried to stumble and stagger through text-install and manual partitioning, both for the first time -- and, not surprisingly, eventually did get Ubuntu installed, only at the price of hosing CentOS. (If I were doing it all over, perhaps I should do the partitioning first and separately, with knoppix or gparted, or with qtparted if that has a live cd. Maybe I should Dban the whole shebang, and repartition first anyway ...) After much help, I concluded that that release of Ubuntu had also been a mistake : getting my must-have apps onto it cost lots of grief, and the most essential, Alpine 1.0, never made it at all. That means I can't yet give Ubuntu a fair test as to filling my needs. So now I want to install CentOS 5.1 again, Ubuntu 7.10, and Fedora 8. The VDQ comes in three parts. First, the sequence : I'd prefer to put the new Ubuntu onto one of the 13 GB partitions, and make it end up second in boot sequence. I *think* I'll be safer to install it first in time, and with the GUI .iso, *not* with the text-install, which I lack the savvy to use. Can I do that? Or does installing it first in time force me to use the first free partition? (If it does, but lets me keep the rest of the setup, I'd rather live with it than tackle the text-install again, let alone re-partition.) Second, also about the sequence : given that all I've ever really run has been RedHat or Fedora (but I've been doing that since RH7), will I be any better off installing one of them before the other? Third, does anyone know of an example somewhere of a grub.conf, for a machine running three linuces, which I can manage to clone once I do get all three installed? I'm assuming that each OS will have a way of booting itself once I get to it, and that the first and hardest job will be instructing grub how to get to each, in a way that enables it to update for itself whenever any of the three gets a fresh kernel on some update. Is that right? My experience in the past has been that grub is everywhere dense, as the mathematicians say. Not in this life will I get my head far enough around it to have a real grasp of how to configure it -- not and get it right. Man grub and its ilk wear out my fingernails as I try to climb the walls. But I can copy and vary, or follow a recipe if it's explicit enough. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck, Double Retiree, Not Quite Clueless Linux Power User : F8, C5.1, U6.06; I have precious (very precious) little idea where up is.

Possibly OT: FreeNX and Gnome Language
by Alex White 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

If this is too far off topic please let me know and I'll send this to the Gnome list or something. Today I recently had a thai friend want to experience linux. Their limitation is language of course. I set up an account for my friend and had them log in after changing through GDM their language preferences to Thai. The Thai language shows up for me when I log in as the user on the machine. I read several posts notably the following: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2006-August/003967.html I attempted to accomplish this with those instructions and end up with a whole lot of fail. I assume I am misunderstanding something very basic because the user still is presented with an English desktop when they login through nx. I also tried the following trick of editing their ~/.dmrc to provide the language environment, but unless you login through gdm (as I read from google searches) this file is skipped. Has anyone encountered this and come up with a solution? Or is there a way to refine my google search in some way to provide better information for me? I appreciate any help anyone can provide. Sincerely -- ethericalzen(a)gmail.com Life is a prison, death is a release

problem with firefox
by Jimmy Bradley 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Just out of curiosity, has anyone noticed a problem that has developed with firefox? This started on both of my machines after the newest updates. I'll be at a website, even the mozilla website, and when I click on a link to go to another part of the site or to download a file, Firefox will just simply close. It's random for the most part, but it happened quite often at the sourceforge.net website too. I'm not having this problem with Seamonkey. Jim
