vfs objects = recycle
by John 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

[public] vfs objects = recycle recycle:repository = Recycle Bin -------------------------------------- Just want to be clear if I use the vfs recycle option does "recycle:repository = Recycle Bin" get put into the the public directory? As I am having a problem with deleting files on a client and then can't empty the trash because of permission problems. Will this solve this issue or do I have problems elsewhere? Keep in mind this is a mixed node network with windows and linux. I'm taking pointers from any one with heavy samba experiance. As I am no samba guy. Also pointers on clustering samba with DFS. -- ~/john OpenPGP Sig:BA91F079

Slightly OT: Extra icons on desktop
by MHR 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

I'm running FC8 with Gnome 2.20.0 at work and I have this interesting situation. I have two disks on the system that are both configured to be mounted in /etc/fstab, but I'm seeing two things I believe are strange. One is that the second drive is not getting mounted at boot time. The other is that I see two icons for the disk on my desktop - one with the mount point of the drive, the other with the labvel, and they both refer to the same drive (but, e.g., if I use one icon to umount the drive, the other icon does not go away - this is secondary). Suggestions welcome. Here is my /etc/fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=/misc /misc ext3 defaults 1 2 The drive that is misbehaving is /misc. This is (more or less) my first experience with FC, so have mercy. :-) Thanks. mhr

Anne: This is something that worked fine, for several years. It was my box, before my daughter got it, and I used the DVD drive, without problems. That it works OK in MS Windows XP and that I can boot the box from the same DVD, without problems, has me leaning more toward a problem with CentOS 5 Mounting the DVD, in that box. If it is a HW problem, I would think the problem would also appear in Windows and when I boot from that DVD. However, that it works OK, in 2 other Desktops, would possibly indicate a HW problem in that box. TIA, Lanny

kernel-vm repo
by Clint Dilks 28 Apr '08

Hi People, I have downloaded http://dev.centos.org/~tru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/i386/kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.14.e… <http://dev.centos.org/%7Etru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/i386/kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.14…> but was just wondering if these kernel-vm rpms are in a yum repository. Previous posts to centos.org suggest this, so can someone please let me know what repo it should be coming from so I can see why my system doesn't see them. Thanks.

This morning my laptop could not connect to the server by its fstab mounts. I restarted nfs and restarted the network on the server, all without making any difference. Restarting the network brought Bringing up interface borg2: RTNETLINK answers: File exists Error adding address 192.168.0.40 for eth0. but ifconfig shows the correct address for eth0. What else should I look for? Anne

DKMS
by John 28 Apr '08

Alan, I knew of the Dell article, as I have all of those saved for reference. [1] I was just wondering if you knew of any that were for someone knew to Linux. You know the Microsoft type tutorials that have screenshot with them. That's the question I get asked a lot of times from around my home area. In turn when these users that are new to Linux they get discouraged when they can't visualy see pictures or have to edit some text file. They just use to doing things the M$ Way. CentOS could have a much broader user base (Huge), the biggest user base around if simple things like this could be done. i realize though it take volunteers to do this on the wiki. [1] DKMS was originally meant for updating Dells server hardware (drivers) see: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms-ols2004.pdf and Sys Admins, but has come further than that. Install DKMS. Install driver, hope like hell it works on kernel update On 03/04/2008, John <jses27 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Anyone on the List know of a good DKMS tutorial besides the one at > linux.dell.com?

Hopefully what you mean is that it isn't designed specifically for users that are new to Linux. It is a perfectly fine distribution for those wanting to learn Linux, though the learning curve may be a bit steep. Is there any distro designed to train new Linux users? robert

DVD reader: Hardware problem or OS glitch?
by Lanny Marcus 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Hello: The box is dual boot (Win XP & CentOS 5). A Dell Dimension 4300 Celeron. There was an intermittent problem with this last year and last Thanksgiving, I wiped the HD and installed Win XP and CentOS 5 clean. My daughter asked me to install KStars which is in the kdeedu RPM on the Fedora Core 6 Install DVD. I did that, without any problems, on my box and on my wife's box. On the Dimension 4300, in Linux, the OS thinks the DVD ROM is empty. I suspect this is a HW problem, but: (a) Windows can see everything on the DVD, without any problem and (b) I can boot the Fedora Core 6 Install DVD, without any problem. If anyone on the ML has ideas about what might be wrong with the installation of the OS (I have GNOME and KDE installed and the problem is the same with either desktop) please give me your suggestions about how to get the DVD to mount properly. TIA!
