GIMP 2.3.15 for EL5, no newer libs required
by Radu-Cristian FOTESCU 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Folks, I've build a tiny repo to provide GIMP 2.3.15 (and 2.3.14 as a possible fallback) for EL5. GIMP 2.3.15 is the last version of GIMP that builds with no errors with the GTK+ version that ships with EL. 2.3.15 is "almost GIMP 2.4", as 2.3.19 was the last development release prior to 2.4.0. To the extent of my knowledge, Akkana Peck wrote the first edition of her book on GIMP 2.4 using a development edition 2.3.something, where "something" was not newer than 13. I therefore hope that most of the features and improvements brought by 2.4 over 2.2 are already present in 2.3.15 (or 2.3.14). These builds are obviously not as stable as 2.2.13, nor are they patched against bugs or newer vulnerabilities. I have adapted (from Mandriva's 2.3.14 as of 2007.1) the patches for CVE-2006-4519, CVE-2007-2949 and CVE-2007-3741. To get these builds (RPMs and SRPMs), use the repo file: http://odiecolon.lastdot.org/el5/odiecolon.repo The site is not browsable, because I can't make it so (Lucian, any help?). Still, the repo should work (it worked for me). A *few* more details here: http://beranger.org/v3/wordpress/?p=3325 Please test and report if it works for you or not -- I only use a limited set of features from what GIMP can do. Note that I have not tested any plugins, and I don't even know if xsane-gimp still works with this build. Disclaimer: You should never use this on a production system, or else all the kittens within a range of 2 miles might die. Thank you, R-C __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/

RealTek 8168B (Rev 02) Issue
by Ben Mohilef 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

The 8168B (02) NIC works well except that it does not go into promiscuous mode despite advertising itself in that mode after being so directed with ifconfig. Unfortunately, the little box is destined to be an IDS monitor, so that function is essential. The board is an Intel Atom 330 run as x86_64, the nic is internal. We tried three drivers: the one in the 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel yields a high count of dropped packets (known problem), and the drivers from Realtek and El Repo. None solve the promiscuous problem (although they fix the funny dropped counter issue). Apparently the chip has no MII capability either. Anyone have any idea as how to make this chip do the promiscuous mode thing other than adding another nic card ?

PAE or use 64-bit?
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hi all, Which would you recommend for a 4GB+ machine? A 32-bit install with PAE-enabled kernel or just use 64-bit? Regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

Intel Graphics support in future releases
by Ron Blizzard 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Since my computers use built-in Intel graphics chips (which work great with CentOS 5.3), I've been worrying about Ubuntu's (and other "cutting edge" distributions) problems with these. It appears to be an Xorg problem. What I don't understand is why Xorg would release something that only half worked with a large segment of the computers out there. I'm also wondering how Red Hat / CentOS will handle such a problem -- or have they already addressed it? Probably shouldn't worry about a "possible" problem, but I do anyhow. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3

Building a custom install CD
by Fred Moyer 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Greetings, I am looking for resources on how to build my own Centos install CD for a preselected package set that I want to install. I think Red Hat may have had this functionality at some point but it has been a while since I have needed to do this. I found this on how to build my own kernel - http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules - which I will need to exercise as well, but I want to build my own .iso that I can run a kickstart or similar mechanism from. Thanks in advance.

My hope > is that when the wan nic goes down, a route is still available. Last I checked the 'metric' number in the linux routing table is really only used when your using a routing daemon. as far as default routes go, it should not have any impact. I suspect the route is not the issue, I suspect that the app is trying to talk to something external and then fails, it will fail the same if you try to point it to a router that goes nowhere. tcpdump should be able to tell you who the host is trying to talk to. strace might reveal why. nate

Networking Issue
by Joseph L. Casale 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Need some opinions on making a multihomed box more resilient to failure. This server runs asterisk and performs nat and firewalling for an office. Its wan nic is plugged directly into a cable modem and I am stuck with it being configured as a dhcp client. The lan nic services a small office, and has a static IP but of course, no default gateway. When an internet outage occurs, asterisks sip stack tanks and the pbx dives. So I have setup fqdn's/ip's in the hosts file for all sip peers it will attempt to resolve, and setup a local dns with all rfc1912 zones so every query asterisk can possibly make will be answered locally. Now it seems there is still one last hurdle, when the connection is yanked to simulate a complete outage, asterisk still goes down. I can only assume this happens now as a result of no default gateway? Would setting up a silly route for 0.0.0.0/0 to say 127.0.0.1 for the internal nic in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1 with a metric higher than what the ISP's dhcp servers default gw would be possibly cure this? My hope is that when the wan nic goes down, a route is still available. I can't think of any other network shortcoming that is left when that external nic goes down, I am hoping this is finally it, so asterisk will stop core dumping and yelling "Serious Network Trouble". Thanks! jlc

Disabling IPv6 in CentOS 4.7
by Stephen Harris 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

I thought I'd done that standard stuff /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING_IPV6=no But on reboot I still see ipv6 entries against the eth devices, ipv6 module is still loaded, and sit0 tunnel is present. What needs to be done to disable ipv6? -- rgds Stephen

Cannot get LD_LIBRARY_PATH to work under NX (freenx)
by Andrzej Szymanski 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hello, I'm trying to get the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set from .bash_profile (Centos 5.3 fully updated). This is a part of my .bash_profile: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/szyman/omnet/omnetpp-2.3p1/lib export R_HISTSIZE=2000000000 Everything works fine under standard ssh login, but under NX client the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is missing (the R_HISTSIZE is exported properly). Any hints? Thanks, Andrzej
