I've copied the xorg.conf from the working system to the failing one, and got the same result. Thanks for the tips on the KVM - it hadn't occurred to me that it could be a problem. When I can get to rip the place up, I'll attach the monitor directly to the machine and see if that solves it. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. -- =============================================== Dick Holland work: dholland(a)latentzero.com home: dick(a)xegetix.com (PGP Key ID: 0xE362C267) Skype: dick_at_home http://www.linkedin.com/in/dickholland ===============================================

iso creation with dd
by Al Sparks 12 May '09

12 May '09

I placed a CD in a drive. I ran sudo dd sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=HMI_B_Image_File_4-23-09_disk_1.iso It completed. I then transferred the ISO file to an XP machine, use Sonic to burn the ISO file to another CD, and there was a file missing (the largest) in the burned CD. Seems like the data got transferred through the dd, but not a file name. What might I be doing wrong? === Al

CentOS 5.2 nVidia GeForce 7300GS resolution problem
by Dick Holland 12 May '09

12 May '09

I have a Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 7300GS on an Intel DG965WHMKR mobo attached to an LG Flatron LG204WT widescreen monitor. I'm driving the monitor at 1680*1050, and the picture is compressed into the right-hand two-thirds of the screen. The monitor is OK as it's attached via a KVM switch to another machine - also with an nVidia card - and it displays perfectly on that. It looks like some sort of scan rate problem - anyone experienced this? If so, anyone know the solution? TIA -- Dick Holland

ssh ServerTimeOut
by grace rante 12 May '09

12 May '09

There's a debian specific flag for ssh called 'ServerTimeOut' which allows ssh to give up if no data from the server is received for the specified number of seconds. Does anybody know the equivalent option for centos-ssh? thanks, grace

svnsync not using config dir
by Neil Aggarwal 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hello: I tried posting this to the subversion mailing list, but that does not seem to be taking the post so I am hoping this list can help. I am using svnsync installed using yum on my CentOS 5 server. I am trying to tell the sync command to save the certificates and credentials in a directory, but it does not seem to be doing so. I created a directory /usr/local/svn/MyProject.config To run the sync, I used this command: /usr/bin/svnsync sync https://svn2.jammconsulting.com/svn/MyProject --config-dir /usr/local/svn/MyProject.config --username svnsync When I issue the command, it asks me to accept the certificate. I told it to accept permanently and gave the svnsync password when prompted. But, nothing was saved in the config directory and when I issue the command again, it still asks me to accept the certificate and the password for the svnsync user account. Any ideas why this is not working? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox. Visit http://www.spammilter.com for details.

{SOLVED} Re: OT: Photo Editor to reduce 272 photos to VGA at once

I have Picasa, gThumb (not really an > Editor but I believe it can reduce the quality of photos) and The GIMP <snip. I used Google's Picasa last night, to put the photos on picasaweb.google.com as was suggested. The recommended upload size is 1600 pixels. The original files totaled 419.9 MB and the uploaded files 99 MB. The version of Picasa I have on Linux is 2.7 and I did not see the "Upload" button, so I copied the folder to the NTFS partition and used Picasa 3 on M$ Windows. I need to see if there is a newer version of Picasa for Linux..... I wrote to the Webmaster and the Singer who has the Blog, that if they need me to send any of the photos to them in email, for better quality, I will, but in general, as everyone here mentioned, this eliminated a lot of Bandwidth and the photos are online, for all of the Forum members and for the Artist and his staff. Thanks to everyone, for their ideas about ImageMagick and about posting online!

is it possible to resive a PV in LVM and add more LV's ?
by Rudi Ahlers 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi all I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw. [root@nd11176 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 33 265041 83 Linux /dev/sda2 34 1338 10482412+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda3 1339 1860 4192965 82 Linux swap / Solaris [root@nd11176 ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [9.97 GB / 0 free] Total: 1 [9.97 GB] / in use: 1 [9.97 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] [root@nd11176 ~]# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 [root@nd11176 ~]# lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' [9.97 GB] inherit So, my question is, if I extend the Physical Volume, what else do I need todo in order to add more Logical Volume's? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
