Difficulties with Seamonkey plugins on 5.2
by MHR 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Has anyone else noticed this? I've been running a self-built, working 64-bit version of Seamonkey's 2.01a pre-release (alpha) version for the last six or seven months (because the "contributed" unofficial 64-bit build didn't work right and the official 32-bit release crashed all the time), and it's been working relatively well until recently, particularly in the area of plugins. After updating to CentOS 5.2, I noticed that the flash plugin didn't work right. This might be due to a major change in nspluginwrapper - it is now included in the CentOS (RHEL) release, as opposed to being a download from rpmforge. Problem is - it doesn't seem to work right. My flash plugin does not work. At all. There was a new official release of Seamonkey (1.1.10) with an available contributed 64-bit build (haven't gotten around to the 1.1.11 revision yet), so I though, maybe this time it will work better. I pulled down this revision and installed it. Works great - except for the flash plugin. (Actually, I only know that the acrobat reader plug-in works, but the flash plugin definitely does _not_.) I tried again with 1.1.11 here at work (32-bits) and it seems to work just fine. But, as of this morning at least, my home system absolutely does NOT work with the new nspluginwrapper, and the flash plugin does not work at all. This is true both on the 1.1.10 unofficial contributed 64-bit build, and also my home built 64-bit 2.01pre (with fresh source as of this morning). Does anyone have the new (0.9.91.5) nspluginwrapper working with the flash plugin on a 64-bit install of CentOS 5.2 and Seamonkey? Also, one of the "tricks" I learned with this whole setup was that the simplest way to "install" the plugins was simply to create symbolic links from /usr/lib64/mozlilla/plugins - I think that's right - to the relevant plugins directory. This worked until 5.2, or at least Seamonkey reports that the plugins are installed. (The AR8 plugin has serious problems, haven't gone all the way back to the AR7.9 plugin yet, and I haven't tested the mplayerplug-in yet, but the critical one is the flash plugin because so many web pages have flash videos on them these days.) Suggestions welcome. Thanks. mhr

Replacing custom kernel with another - with same identifier
by Antti J. Huhtala 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi list, I just finished building a custom kernel from 2.6.18-53.1.21 source rpm - this time with ISA bus and ISAPNP support which I accidentally left out of my previous attempt. Unfortunately, this time I forgot to change my identifier in kernel-2.6.spec file. Thus I now have one *installed* kernel version *without* ISA support, and another one *with* ISA support but as rpm, not yet installed. Both kernels now have identical identifiers. What is the safe way to remove the previous installed kernel version without taking out the uninstalled new version? Is the latter safe in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS if I use 'rpm -e' to remove the former version? TIA Antti

gecko-libs dependency resurfaces
by Ben Mohilef 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

In doing an update of centos 5.2 this morning, I observed that the old gecko-libs dependency issue caused yum update to fail because it was required by nspluginwrapper (x64_86), devhelp, yelm and firefox. Also, a firefox (x64_86) showed the red hat splash screen rather than centos. Manual installation of affected rpms using --nodeps (I don't advise this) did not apear to impair the performance of any of the affected packages. Is everyone seeing this or do we have something missing in our installations? regards, benm

Simple IP Question
by Matt 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I have a server located remotely running CentOS 5.x. I need to have two IP's on the same interface. So I have this: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=69.x.x.199 HWADDR=00:x:x:x:c6:10 IPADDR=69.x.x.194 NETMASK=255.255.255.248 NETWORK=69.x.x.192 ONBOOT=yes GATEWAY=69.x.x.193 TYPE=Ethernet So I added this: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=69.x.x.199 HWADDR=00:x:x:x:c6:10 IPADDR=69.x.x.195 NETMASK=255.255.255.248 NETWORK=69.x.x.192 ONBOOT=yes GATEWAY=69.x.x.193 TYPE=Ethernet Now the only IP that works is the second one. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Matt

Evolution & HTML
by Bob Taylor 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I've noticed several HTML emails that evo says are unknown attachments with a blank page on message display. Selecting Edit as New Message results in seeing the email in the composer. Anyone seeing this? CentOS 5.2. -- Bob Taylor

Q about CentOS-4
by Craig White 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I have a client with a server on CentOS-4 and I'm looking to upgrade to latest horde/imp/etc. clearly php 4.3.9-xx is not up to the task but I see that upgrades for php & mysql are in CentOS-Plus I see that CentOS-4 projects to get security updates until 3/2012 which probably is the usefulness of the hardware itself. So my questions... - Will CentOS-Plus maintain the php/mysql packages until then? - The upgrade to mysql-5...do I have to nuke the db and reload from backup or is there a possibility that the upgrade and subsequent restart of mysql will update the database stuff itself (of course I'm gonna do a complete dump of mysql data before attempting)?

Samba permissions problem
by Kevin Thorpe 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi all, I have a permissions problem with a samba share which I really can't fathom out. I'm trying to create a fully group writable share. Easy or so I thought. As you can see from my config I am trying all the options to set files group writable, however when I create a file from the client I'm always getting the mode 0644. Does anyone have a clue why? Thanks! client: //database.pricetrak.com/spendtrak /home/spendtrak cifs username=webserver,password=twonkerlet,uid=apache,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0 server: [spendtrak] comment = Spendtrak Files path = /home/spendtrak browseable = no writable = yes printable = no valid users = +spendtrak force group = spendtrak create mode = 0660 create mask = 0660 force create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770
