03 Sep '09

After using a bluetooth mouse for a couple of weeks on: [root@rwells-cts ~]# uname -a Linux rwells-cts 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 10:03:38 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux the machine is a Lenovo laptop, X200 today after booting (and re-booting) not even the bluetooth led lights up (it did so immediately after installing CentOS), there is no bluetooth icon on the gnome task panel hcitool finds nothing, re-installing gnome-bluetooth has no effect, etc..... Any ideas on what to do next will be appreciated. thanks, -- Roger Wells, P.E. SAIC 221 Third St Newport, RI 02840 401-847-4210 (voice) 401-849-1585 (fax) roger.k.wells(a)saic.com

by Gabriel - IP Guys 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Dear All, I am attempting to install cacti on CentOS 5.3 64 bit, and I checked the wiki, only to find that the instructions are a bit out of date. Have these instructions been updated somewhere, or does anyone have updated instructions, maybe with known gotchas etc? --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel

by mbneto 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hi, I was wondering what is the current status fro ext4 support in Centos. I've noticed that is marked as dev when I try to use it from the installer. Does anybody have a scary story to prevent using it?

user defined udev rules
by Alexey Skidanov 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hi, I would like to change permissions of /dev/sda* and /dev/hda* files to 0644. I added the following rules to 99-udev.rules files: KERNEL=="[hs]d*", OWNER="root" GROUP="disk", MODE="0644 After restarting udev by strat_udev, I checked that permissions were changed: [root@gini rules.d]# ll /dev/sda* brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 0 Sep 2 2009 /dev/sda brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 1 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/sda1 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 2 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/sda2 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 3 Sep 2 2009 /dev/sda3 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 4 Sep 2 2009 /dev/sda4 brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 5 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/sda5 But permissions of /dev/hda file were not changed. Moreover, the owner of this file is changed: [root@gini rules.d]# ll /dev/hda* brw------- 1 alexey-s disk 3, 0 Sep 2 13:55 /dev/hda Looking into /var/log/messages: Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating device node '/dev/hda', major = '3', minor = '0', mode = '0644', uid = '0', gid = '6' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/cdrom' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/cdrom-hda' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/dvd' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/dvd-hda' to 'hda' Sep 2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:02:00.0-ide-0:0' to '../../hda' The problem: it's look like the udev rules file works fine, but permissions and owner of /dev/hda file are changed. Thanks, Alexey

Centos 5.3 install on gigabyte GA-MA790FX-UD5P motherboard
by Nathan Norton 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi, I am having some difficulties installing centos 5.3 on the gigabyte GA-MA790FX-UD5P motherboard. Has anyone got centos booting on this motherboard? so far I have tried the following. + disabled the jmicron controller as this caused errors on booting JMB363 bad irq(0): will probe later error (this error caused the installation to stop at this point) + tested all components in another computer, they all work. + remove all unnecessary components from the pci bus. + power supply is not an issue since I have used a 850W PSU Basically what I am seeing is once the installation process starts and asks do i have another sata disk, and I select no the screen freezes at this point *every* single time, the screen is always blue with a couple of greek looking characters on the screen. No logs are left at this point in the installation, so it is making it difficult to diagnose. Today I installed the grml distribution and it worked with no issues, it uses a base kernel of 2.6.28. so there is nothing wrong with the hardware but centos still does not want to install on this motherboard. Anyone have any ideas? Nathan

remote desktop configuration
by Frank Cox 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I manage some remote multi-user computers where it would be very handy to be able to "edit" the users' panel bars remotely, adding, removing and arranging applications and icons as needed. It's easy to put an icon on a user's desktop -- just write a .desktop file and put it into the user's Desktop directory. Can I do the same thing with the users' panel bars somehow? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
