Skype and problem with ALSA mixer driver?
by Andrew 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Having used skype successfully in the past with previous CentOS versions, I haven't yet been able to get it working fully with CentOS 5.3 - the playback sound works OK but I can't get the mic working. I previously used the skype version installed with yum from the skype repo but thought maybe this was faulty, so have just installed the static version (cd skype_static-2.1.0.81). However, the mic still doesn't work and I've notice the following (repeated) error messages on the command line (currently this version has to be executed from the command line): snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 203032 bytes (1057 ms). Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 201176 bytes (1047 ms). Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 199280 bytes (1037 ms). Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. ..........etc Does anybody have any information about this issue/bug and any idea how to solve the problem? Thanks, Andy

Multiple RAID support in CentOS?
by Victor Padro 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm putting together a Server for personal use, I want to virtualize a few servers(mail, web, ssh) and use it as a NAS, but I have a question if I can use Multiple RAID Arrays using the following HW: Intel Xeon Quad Core X3430 ASUS P7F-M LGA 1156 - LSI MegaRAID(integrated) - HighPoint RocketRAID 2640x1 2 Hitachi 500GB HDDs 4 Hitachi 1TB HDDs I want to use one array with the 2 500GB HDDs in RAID1 for the OS and for some VMs, and the other 4 1TB HDDs I want to create an array in RAID5 or RAID10 for file sharing across my home Network. I found a guide but it's a little bit outdated and it's for Debian... Do you have any other pointer I can read/use? TIA. -- Linux User #452368 http://twitter.com/vpadro "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves"

[FYI] skype-2.0.0.72.nosrc.rpm
by Nikita Izyumtsev 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Greetings! I have been using statically linked skype for a while, but found it uncofortable to install it in contraversion of rpm db, so I decided to package it. You can get nosrc.rpm here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4043330/skype-2.0.0.72-1.nosrc.rpm You can rebuild it in usual way, like that: Install rpmbuild (if it's not installed yet): sudo yum install rpmbuild As an ordinary user, not root, create a directory tree based on ~/rpmbuild: cd mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > .rpmmacros Download and install nosrc.rpm: cd ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4043330/skype-2.0.0.72-1.nosrc.rpm rpm -i skype-2.0.0.72-1.nosrc.rpm Download and install non-distributable* tarball: cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES wget http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.0.0.72.tar.bz2 Rebuild binary rpm package: cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -bb skype.spec * Actually, skype is _redistributable_, pld-linux ships it on it's spins, but as far I understood it is somewhat problematic to come to agreement with Skype. P.S: spec file is loosely based on pld-linux implementation Nikita

Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3 - slightly OT
by MHR 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

I've noticed recently that the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader (9.3) has a really annoying tendency to stop for 30-60 seconds shortly after it starts up to read/display a PDF file. I don't see this on my Windows copies, just on CentOS. Anyone know what's up with that? Thanks. mhr

Full Virtualized DomU won't boot
by Sergio Belkin 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi, I use Centos 5.4 x86_64 kernel used is 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5xen I have a physical machine running Debian Etch (32 bit) and Debian Lenny and I virtualized the first one as follows: *Created a HVM DomU with Virt-Manager with a virtual disk file of 40000 M *Boot from LiveCD, and created a swap and a ext3 partitions (Yes, very simple layout). *Rsync'd files from root partition of physical machine to partition mounted on LiveCD on DomU. *Chrooted and edited files /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab, etc/mtab, /boot/grub/device.map. *Then I rebooted from hard disk and stay freezed with the message "booting from hard disk" . But it doesn't boot at all from hard disk. I can boot using grub-rescue-cdrom, but if I try to install grub with grub-install it outputs: "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" (I've tried --recheck option, and depmod and update-grub commands with no success) Output of file command on virtual disk file is: /virtuales/videodisk.img: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x82, starthead 1, startsector 63, 4273227 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x83, active, starthead 0, startsector 4273290, 77626080 sectors The DomU file is: DomU (file): name = "video" uuid = "54d25d78-b9d0-0159-542c-bb601cc936bb" maxmem = 1024 memory = 512 vcpus = 1 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "d" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 localtime = 0 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 1 keymap = "es" disk = [ "file:/virtuales/videodisk.img,hda,w", "file:/virtuales/isos/grub-rescue-cdrom.iso,hdc:cdrom,r" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:0b:24:2d,bridge=xenbr0,script=vif-bridge" ] parallel = "none" serial = "pty" EOF With grub-rescue cd DomU can boot but as I've said can't install grub and loads also loopback interface. Please could you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!! -- -- Open Kairos http://www.sergiobelkin.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -
