Desktop freeze... now what?
by Niki Kovacs 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, I installed CentOS 5 on a client's machine yesterday afternoon. He phoned me in the evening to tell me that his desktop "froze several times upon him", and he had to hard-reboot it. The last time this happened to me was with some exotic wireless card whose driver had problems with SMP. But here, I have no wireless card. So the only suspect is the NVidia Geforce 4000 card. The only non-standard thing I did in my install was to install the proprietary NVidia driver from nvidia.com. I knew afterwards this was not a good thing to do, since the RPMForge repos do have an nvidia-legacy drivers. I remembered this too late. Anyway. I'm due to return to the client in a few hours time next morning. I wonder if reverting from "nvidia" to "nv" in xorg.conf could solve my problem. As for updates, the system is up to date. But I admit I'm a bit clueless. Any suggestions? Niki

yum-security not working?
by Florin Andrei 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Is yum-security supposed to work on CentOS too, not only on Red Hat? I installed it on a system that has not been updated in quite a while, so I know there are security updates for it, but it does not list any security-related updates: # yum list-sec Loading "security" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "protectbase" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository protections list-sec done # yum --security check-update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "security" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Limiting package lists to security relevant ones No packages needed, for security, 128 available # -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Add more space to LVM
by Todd Reed 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

I have a database server that is running out of space. All my databases are being stored in a 80G /opt partition. Because I'm using LVM, wouldn't I be able to pop the HDDs (a h/w raid volume) in, add it to the LVM, and resize my ext3 /opt partition? Everything that I've been reading says this is possible, but I'm not sure. Has anyone done this and are there any pitfalls to watch out for? Is there a better way? I've thought about just rebuilding the server and restoring the databases from a backup on the new setup. Any suggestions on proper path would be appreciated. I'm running the current version of CentOS 5. Regards, Todd

Webdev tools
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

I want a tool that will allow me to download files from a webdev site. All I have found is the other direction: my files to a webdav server. In particular (some of you might be interested) is the whole IEEE 802.11 meeting documents webdav site: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/public/07/11-07-0767-00-0000-new-802-11-work… explains the 'new' system. http://dav.mentor.ieee.org:80/ is where you can do bulk download, but I need a tool for that.... BTW, you cannot get draft or final standards docs from here. You have to attend a meeting to get the password to the member's only section where the standards docs are.... March meeting is in Orlando, FL. See you there if you can make it!

ntpd stuck on stratum 16 = not synced
by Sean Carolan 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Maybe there's an ntp expert out there who can help me with this. I have an NTP server serving our local network. It is set up to use pool.ntp.org servers for it's upstream sync. ntpq -p reveals that the server is stuck on stratum 16, which I understand means "not synced". The clients are unable to sync with my local server because of this. Here's the output of ntpq -p along with my ntp.conf file: [root@ntpserver /root]# ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset disp ============================================================================== echo.sureproxy. 0.0.0.0 16 u 29 64 0 0.00 0.000 16000.0 nist.netservice 0.0.0.0 16 u 19 64 0 0.00 0.000 16000.0 ntp.your.org 0.0.0.0 16 u 19 64 0 0.00 0.000 16000.0 ntp.pbx.org 0.0.0.0 16 u 19 64 0 0.00 0.000 16000.0 # NTP cluster configuration file server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org server 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org server 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org server 3.rhel.pool.ntp.org # # Drift file.

sound conversion assistance
by fred smith 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

OK, I downloaded a batch of ".rm" audio files from the net. I can play them with mplayer or realplayer, but how can I convert them to something else, e.g. mp3, etc.? So far haven't unearthed any tools that can both read them and write out in another format.
