flash fails to work on Los Angeles Times website - fix
by Mark Pryor 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

Hello, I have a 32-bit install of C5.2 on my Intel Centrino Laptop (2005). The Adobe flash plugin works fine in Firefox in all cases except on the Los Angeles Times website http://www.latimes.com. I was baffled by this for a few months, since it works on another 32-bit C5.2 box. When I realized that the only real difference was that the laptop had no LAMP install, and both had the same elaborate set of hosts redirects (to avoid adverts), it seemed reasonable that the /etc/hosts file might be the culprit. Sure enough, both boxes had this line in the redirects ----------- /etc/hosts ------------ 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net ----------- end snip --------- I could see that flash was hanging on the laptop when it looked for a response from ad.doubleclick.net In order to fix the bug, I commented out the line. Flash now worked! In order to avoid the advert, I changed 127.0.0.1, to another private LAMP install on my home network (192.168.1.104). Problem solved. At the very least this redirect needs to return a response, or the flash video will hang and never start. This is true for the LA Times implementation of adverts, at least. Maybe your newspaper sites behave similarly. My 2cents worth of troubleshooting, Mark

Have you looked at SSL-Explorer? Erm... I mean Adito? SSL-Explorer appears to have been taken over by Barracuda but still forked into Adito. Linky links: http://sourceforge.net/projects/adito BTW: Sent from my web based mail system on my workstation at my desk in my office in Duluth, Minnesota, United States, North America, Earth, etc... you get the idea... :) Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.

>From what I can see nagios' check_ping monitor executes /bin/ping, >in which case you need to make sure /bin/ping is owned by root >and is setuid (chmod u+s /bin/ping) > >nate That solved it. Same with file permission with mount, umount, su, and ping6. Thank you very much. Get your new Email address!

Adding RAM
by Matt 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

I have a server running Centos 4.7 32bit. Will moving from 4Gig of RAM to 8Gig do any good? Since its 32bit I assume it will only be able to address the first 4Gig not? When I installed CentOS I did not do anything special to enable using more then 4Gig if thats required. Exim, spamassassin and Clamd seem to be the biggest load on this machine. My biggest bottle neck is disk I/O anyway. Wish I had installed CentOS 5.x 64bit way back when but some of the software I was using at time listed support for it as beta. Matt

nfs slow?
by Davide Cittaro 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi all, I'm migrating from Gentoo to CentOS... I'm experiencing a rather low performance in NFS r/w (as client). NFS server is solaris (which exports zfs volumes via nfs). The very same exports were mounted with the same parameters (auto,nosuid,exec) on gentoo and centos server (bot x86_64)... It happens that centos is 5-10 times slower either in read and write operations... Ok, I'll try to tune rsize and wsize, but does anybody have an hint on this low performance? Thanks d Davide Cittaro davide.cittaro(a)ifom-ieo-campus.it

cpuspeed problems with 5.2 and 2.6.18-92.1.18 kernel revision
by ArcosCom Linux User 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

After upgrade my laptop, I discovered a low performance on it. The laptop is a 2,73GHz Intel centrino and from some kernels versions to now, it had a good performance, the cpu scaling worked fine. Now, I discover that forcing in /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed the governors and/or max/min speeds, it don't want to run more quickly. The laptop boots fine with the correct speed (usual speed), but when the init scripts run the service cpuspeed, the performance goes low: Only wants 800MHz!! Yes, I played with the documentation and the values on it, but the problem began before I touch them. I discovered the problem after upgrade the kernel (some weeks ago). Its very curious that if I power off/on or reboot the laptop, the next boot is with low speed, but if I power off, wait for 10 minutes, and power on again, the laptop boots at normal speed but when cpuspeed service goes up, the speed goes to low. I can't change the speed using gnome or manually writing to /sys/devices/cpu/cpu0/ system files. Has anybody got any problem as this? How to solve or work around (running an old kernel is an option)? Has any relationship with gnome cpuspeed monitor or any gnome component? Thanks Regards

RAID 1 Post Install
by Hal Martin 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hello all, I've got CentOS 5.2 installed on an old Pentium III server. The server is used by a club at my school, and they are rapidly running out of room on the internal IDE drives that are configured in software RAID 1. I have a Silicon Image SATA controller in the server, and I was planning on adding two more SATA hard drives to the computer. Is there a GUI like Disk Druid for initializing hard drives in software RAID 1 *after* the system has been installed? Thanks, Hal

OT: Ping failed
by Jun Salen 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hi, The Ping service in Nagios has "unknown" status which was previously OK, this happens after i messed up some of the files owner and accidentally change it to Apache. Although I restored most of the file permission back to Root, the problem above still appears which I suspect is due to permission. Does anybody have idea where to look at.
