please suggest reading on Linux memory management
by Alan McKay 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hey folks, This is sort of a follow up to my email yesterday about memory leaks. I'd found some really good reading material in my hour or so of googling prior to sending that email. Wondering if anyone can recommend good reading on the topic - including raw facts like this jackpot I seem to have hit upon ( http://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/ ), as well as articles on troubleshooting techniques and so forth. thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Problem when opening files after installing OpenOffice 3.1 on CentOS 5.4
by Mathieu Baudier 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, I have installed OpenOffice 3.1 downloaded from the openoffice.org website on CentOS 5.4 x86_64. The downloaded file is actually an archive containing RPMs. I did not use their setup tool but installed directly the RPMs I was interested in via 'yum localinstall' (my idea is in the future to put them on a custom yum repository, so that they can be managed via regular yum install / update). It works fine, except that when I double-click on, say, *.odt files in the file browser I get the following exception: Cannot open xxxxxxx.odt The filename "xxxxxxx.odt" indicates that this file is of type "odt document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "OpenDocument Text". If I do a right-click, Open with... > Open Office Writer 3.1, it opens the file properly. 1. Did anybody already experienced that? 2. Do you know where I can manage the file types in GNOME? I have already added Open Office 3.1 as the default application to open such files (Right-click, Properties > Open With) Thanks in advance! Mathieu

no valid partitiontables anymore
by Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, recently I had to shut down an iscsi-raid an the connected servers. After the reinstallation and changing the ip config to match our new lan design, I can login to the iscsi device, the volumes are there and I can establish an iscsi link to some volumes. But, some other volumes on the iscsi device are reported with an invalid partition table or that they can't be mounted. e.g.: fdisk -l /dev/sdf Disk /dev/sdf: 53.6 GByte, 53687091200 Byte 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 51200 cylinders Einheiten = Zylinder von 2048 × 512 = 1048576 Bytes Gerät boot.

VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdf1. But I'm sure, about using ext3. The error message is the same with maount -t ext2 (for testing) Any hint would make my happy Thanks a lot an best regards, Götz -- Götz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax +49 7141 969 55 420 E-Mail goetz.reinicke(a)filmakademie.de Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH Akademiehof 10 71638 Ludwigsburg www.filmakademie.de Eintragung Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 205016 Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Prof. Dr. Claudia Hübner Staatsrätin für Demographischen Wandel und für Senioren im Staatsministerium Geschäftsführer: Prof. Thomas Schadt

by Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, my iscsi volumes are all lvm created :-) But the server(s) dont have the device nodes any more. So how may I create tham again? Or ist there an lvm-tool (option) to do this for me? e.g. for: --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VGJBOD01/lvol0 VG Name VGJBOD01 LV UUID IK35sK-bL9B-MeMv-2co6-XtOd-RCxK-lUpank LV Write Access read/write LV Status NOT available LV Size 4,77 TB Current LE 1251375 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto Any hint would make my happy!

PHP 5.2.x
by Craig White 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I am trying to install GOsa and it seems to need PHP 5.2 So I searched CentOS Plus but no luck So I downloaded the src RPM from Fedora 11 and tried to build but got derailed early on in the process with these errors... + cat /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 \ /usr/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4 \ /usr/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4 \ /usr/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4 \ /usr/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4 cat: /usr/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4: No such file or directory cat: /usr/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4: No such file or directory cat: /usr/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4: No such file or directory cat: /usr/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28181 (%build) and I can't figure out where those might come from with yum provide/search Are there reliable repositories for PHP 5.2 for CentOS 5? Is there some way I can get this to build on CentOS 5? Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

32bit development on x86-64
by Roger K. Wells 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

We develop software and are beginning a slow transition from 32 bit applications to their 64 bit equivalents. During this period it will be necessary to build programs targeted for both environments using the x86-64 machines for development. here is a simple/small "application", sizes.c: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Various sizes:\n"); printf(" short = %d\n", sizeof(short)); printf(" int = %d\n", sizeof(int)); printf(" long = %d\n", sizeof(long)); printf(" float = %d\n", sizeof(float)); printf(" double = %d\n", sizeof(double)); return 0; } if I build it using: gcc -m32 -Wall -osizes sizes.c there are no warnings or complaints and a functioning 32 bit program runs, giving the size of a long as 4 bytes. (Of course without the m32 flag the size of long is 8 bytes.) if I try to do the equivalent in two steps: gcc -c -m32 -Wall sizes.c gcc -osizes -Wl,-m,elf_i386 sizes.o the result is: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status there is some confusion in the man pages as to whether the correct 32 bit emulation is elf_i386 or i386linux so: gcc -osizes -Wl,-m,i386linux sizes.o gives result: /usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--eh-frame-hdr' /usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information collect2: ld returned 1 exit status since the single line command works it seems that there must be a way to get the job done. This becomes important when there are many source files and use of a traditional makefile is involved where compiling and linking are separate steps.
