Desktop apps, OO and Scribus
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

I just came across a user who tried to view a Word document on a CentOS5 machine, and it seems that desktop, firefox etc. are trying to view it with Scribus instead of OpenOffice. This needs to change. Is there a system-wide setting for it? On the older, RHEL3 systems we used to have mozplugger, but it's not available in the standard CentOS repositories or rpmforge. What are we supposed to use now? I have one CentOS box here that has mozplugger installed, but I don't know where that came from, it's not in the yum log files.

Cloning Centos server with RSync - what to exclude?
by Bob Puff＠NLE 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi all, I have a few CentOS servers that I want to mirror live, to be standby spares. The "spare" machines could be either a different machine (with a different motherboard), or a VM in Vmware server. I've used rsync in the past, which works well for doing it while the machine is live. However, I want the destination to be running different hardware, and have a different IP address assigned to the nic. My goal is to rsync everything -except- the files that pertain to the network interface, and the file system mount points. My process is this: 1. Install Centos on "spare" machine, configure for proper ethernet. 2. Rsync from live to spare, excluding files pertaining to NIC and FS. Then if it needs to go live, I simply change the IP address, and I'm off and running. The question is: what do I exclude? I know /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, /etc/fstab, and /etc/modules*, but what else? I think there may be some stuff in /var also that deals with raid, etc. The live computer is running software raid, while the backup will not. Bob

[offtopic] idea status.net
by lostson 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hey all I was sitting here thinking about things and I came up with an idea that sounded, at least in my head, like a good one. There has been a boom in things like twitter and brainbird and social networking setups in general. I was wondering if the project or anyone would be interested in setting up a status.net server specifically for the CentOS project ? Why? you ask, well here are some of my reasons. 1) a central hub for all things centos, updates, wiki updates various messages from the dev team and whatever else 2) We could create groups much like in irc centos, social, devs, and many others 3) another outlet to get questions answered besides forums mailing lists or irc. 4) Quick collaboration between parties interested in CentOS Some other questions would be Where could we get this hosted ? What would we call it ? (centosuniverse - lame but hey) Would this be viable for the CentOS project ? I have noticed with brainbird you can go over the 140 character limit which may also be a good idea 140 can limit you in some ways. I also thought this would be a good way to create a community outlet. It is after all easier to post a quick 140 char message about what is going on than to compose a whole email or forum post. I've seen several websites and communities starting to use this as a outlet for their projects. So the ultimate question is (poor HHG2G reference there) - Would this work and would it be wise to persue this option ? I would volunteer to do the leg work to get things going and help anywhere I can of course. But would others like to collaborate on this as well ? Here is a link to Status.net http://status.net/ For further reading on the subject of the server side of it anyway. -- LostSon http://lostsonsvault.org CentOS - it's not just for servers ya know...

Linux CD Stores
by ML 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

HI All, It seems that the days of ordering burned CD's of distros has faded. People just have fast internet now. I recall a number of times that I ordered Slackware CD's or others because it was just easier than downloading and burning myself. I am actually planning on ordering CentOS 5.4 media when available to support the project. Does anyone think these store make any money? (Linux CD Mall, Linux CD Shop, Linux Central...etc) I see a number of them (like Mad Tux) dont exist anymore. Wouldn't someone selling a set for a few dollars plus shipping clean up? Opinions, please. -ML

tgtadm and exported iscsi volumes
by Joseph L. Casale 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Out of haste I decided for the first time not to pull down and compile iet to export a single volume to a windows machine so I just used tgtd. Well, much more time later than otherwise would be the case had I used iet, when I mount the volume on the windows ini, it can't find and install a driver? WTF? This have anything to do with the tgtd being a tech preview:) Anybody seen this b4? jlc
