Icon .png file loading error after graphics driver upgrade
by John J. Lee 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Dear, I updated my nvidia graphics driver on one of the CentOS boxes. When I log in my account, icons are not displayed correctly. They are displayed as small empty squares, and there are error messages like "Fater error: failed to load <file name>.png : version error" for each icon. If I log in as super user, everything is OK. Icons are OK. No error messages. Do you have any idea? Thank you. -john

The wiki explains how to create a dvd with the updates previously downloaded, but how does one integrate these into a freshly authored DVD? Is such a task possible? Thanks! jlc

backup to disk
by Ray Leventhal 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi, I'm looking for common practices for backing up user data to disk. My user data is all in /home. I'm also interested in what folks are doing for things backing up os and configs. Any pointers on setting up rsync, cpio, etc would be appreciated. Pointers to good how-to's especially welcome. Currently we're using Arkeia Network Backup (commercial product with which I am in no way affiliated), and it's great, but with disk space so cheap, I'd love to be able to take my current non-raid setup and find a way to get up and running quickly in the case of some failures. Thanks in advance, -Ray PS - sorry if this shows up twice...I posted on 29 March, but never saw it on the list :)

atrpms nvidia cannot load
by Sam Beam 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi guys - brand new 5.1 install here and quite happy - but... The nv driver did not work at all for me, fritzy stripes and dots. This is a GeForce 7300 LE which was working happily dual-head under FC6 with the livna nvidia RPMs So I looked around and it seemed like the ATRpms repo via yum was the best option for CentOS. This is what I installed, it worked great with the xorg.conf from the old system. But then I did a 'yum update' to the system and got a new kernel from centosplus (?). Now the nvidia module won't load. It's not happy with the new kernel. I am at a loss as to how to make it happy? what is the best way to install the closed-source drivers? direct from nvidia? recomplile them? Is there some gap between updates kernel and the atrpms modules? and in advance I am SORRY if this has been beat to death. I know ~75% of the traffic on the Fedora list was about nvidia woes and flames. Lame, but the DRI does work well on these and my daughter likes to play games. best, Sam

Remove all 3rd party rpms
by Joseph L. Casale 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

How does one do this? Also, is it possible an rpm installed by rpm and not yum does not indicate what it provides to yum when yum queries needed dependencies for another package? Thanks! jlc

my centos switched alone its root fs to read-only
by Alain Spineux 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

My test server was in very eavy load, running kolab's components: postfix, cyrus-imap and openldap A second test machine was sending, and reading emails as fast as it can. The CPU was never idle ! I left the server at about 17H30 and at 22H I find it "uncommitted" (difficult to work when the partition in read-only !) However the mount command report it as RW ! The /boot is still RW for real indeed. some more info [root@c700 trunk]# touch /foo.bar touch: cannot touch `/foo.bar': Read-only file system [root@c700 trunk]# mount /dev/md1 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) max:/s0 on /s0 type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.*.*) [root@c700 trunk]# cat /var/log/messages Mar 30 04:02:13 c700 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
