excel parser (preferably perl)?
by Les Mikesell 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

I'm getting tired of converting spreadsheets that someone else updates to csv so my perl scripts can push the data into a mysql database. Is there a better way? I haven't had much luck with perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel (and find it odd that yum prefers the .32 version from epel over .57 from rpmforge anyway). Is the current CPAN version better? Or the equivalent java tools? Or maybe a scripted OpenOffice conversion would be possible. Needs to deal with both xls and xlsx formats, the odd characters that are confused with quotes even after csv conversion, numbers with $'s and commas embedded, excel's date formatting nonsense, etc. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

pdflush kernel thread pops up every 10 seconds or so and video decoding grinds to a halt for 1/2 a second
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi. A friend of mine was doing real-time video decoding on Fedora Core 13 and he had a performance glitch (1/2 a second freeze) every 5-10 seconds. "top" showed flush-253:0 process at the moment of the freeze. Major device number 253 corresponds to device-mapper. I advised my friend to re-install his FC13 without LVM, to see if the glitch is related to LVM. After re-installing FC13 without LVM, he is seeing the glitch every 10 seconds, and it shows flush-8:16 where before it said flush-253:0. 8 is scsi disk driver. So it's not an LVM thing... maybe a kernel thing? I suggested he try Fedora 14 beta, as it has a newer kernel. Maybe this kernel thing is fixed in the newer kernel. He also tried CentOS 5.5, and saw a "pdflush" process popping up with the same frequency, and resulting in a similar glitch. Any other suggestions? Best, -at

Getting Wake on lan to work
by Peter Crighton 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

My system is: Intel CC820 motherboard (which supports PME# wake up for wake on LAN) 3com 3C905C which also supports wake on LAN via PME# Linux 5.5 The motherboard BIOS is later than one that reports an issue with WOL and this particular network card was fixed. But when I turn off the PC (shutdown or poweroff commands or front panel button), it cannot be restarted via WOL. The network light on the Ethernet card goes off so it looks like power is not being retained on the card. Although both the card and the motherboard have WOL headers my understanding is that these are not necessary if using PME# - is that correct? (I don't happen to have a WOL cable so can't just try one to confirm). How can I make Linux shutdown and leave the Ethernet power on? The common suggestion on the 'net is to remove the "-i" switch from the shutdown script, but it was not present to start with.

Can we use gstreamer bad, ugly and ffmpeg packages ( installed using binary rpms) without any legal problems
by praveenya kumar 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi We are using centos 5.3 Operating system. It comes with basic gstreamer setup including gstreamer, gstreamer-tools, gstreamer-plugins-base and gstreamer-plugins-good packages. To support different media formats we had to install gstreamer-plugins-bad, gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-ffmpeg from third party repository like rpmfusion as centos repository is not providing these packages. My question is, Can we use these packages ( bad, ugly and ffmpeg) without any legal or licensing issues? If No, Please tell the legal way of using them. thanks G Praveen

OpenLDAP, PAM, GDM Configuration on CentOS 5.5
by Trevor T Kates 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hello: I am currently establishing a LDAP installation for my department and hope to get a little help on some of the finer details of the configuration. OpenLDAP 2.3.43-12 is currently installed, configured and running on one of my servers with a few client installations querying authentication information from it. The ppolicy schema has been added to the configuration and a password policy has been added to the directory under "cn=default,ou=Policies,dc=domain,dc=com". Users are able to authenticate properly on the client machines to at least login; however, I have been unable to achieve the following functions: - Force user to change password on first login and display a prompt from gdm to facilitate the change - Lock user account from access and display a message from gdm to that fact These workstations are being used in a restricted mode so that the user may only work within X and may not open a terminal. Any help with this particular problem would be appreciated. Thanks. ________________________________________________________ Trevor T.
