Xen machines fail to reboot
by Gabriel Ogunleye 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Whenever I ask a xen machine on my centos boxes to reboot, they always just shutdown. I control the machines via virtual machine manager, and connect to them using an ssh tunnel, for example, ssh -X user@host and then run virt-manager . This surprises me, because it's only on my centos boxes this happens. How can I find out of this is already a known issue?

OT: Package to truncate .mp3 file
by Lanny Marcus 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

I have a 2.9 MB MP3 file. Would like to use about the first 10%, to embed sound on a web page. The Packages I have in Applications > Sound & Video don't seem to be able to edit the file like that. Is there a Package I can get from a Yum Repository that will do that? Using CentOS 5.5 (32 bit). TIA!

finding out the time of the second-to-last reboot
by Boris Epstein 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hello all, I've got a CentOS box that became non-responsive today for some obscure reason and had to be rebooted. Is there a way to find out when it last had to be rebooted before today? uptime gives you no history past the very last reboot, so obviously I need to find some other way to get an answer to my question. Thanks for any and all tips. Boris.

Moving users from Debian-based distro to CentOS
by Dotan Cohen 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

I have a Debian machine with four users that I plan on migrating to CentOS. As per Debian habits the UIDs start with 1000. Is it enough to reuse the Debian /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files over? Or will I need to configure some other things? I had considered just creating four new users starting from UID 500 then chown -R -ing the user's home directories, but I find that invasive and possibly error prone (maybe there are files that are not owned by them). All advice appreciated. Thanks. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com

Downgrade libgcc & gcc packages (is there a clean way)
by Dan Burkland 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hello all, I have been tasked with "fixing" one of our CentOS boxes by somehow downgrading the libgcc and gcc packages to a specific version (Required by the Oracle Grid Control client). Normally I'd just remove and reinstall the packages however removing libgcc is no fun as I found out the hard way it breaks pretty much every package including rpm & yum. Is there an elegant way to downgrade the currently installed libgcc & gcc packages? Thanks, Dan

hplip under CentOS-5.5
by Timothy Murphy 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Is anyone successfully using hplip under CentOS? When I try to print on my HP Officejet J4580 I always get the error ---------------------------------- Printer Filter "foomatic-rip-hplip" for printer "oj" not available: No such file or directory ---------------------------------- What I find puzzling is that I have googled for this, and it appears there has been the same problem with hplip for over a year. I'm using hplip-1.6.7-4.1.el5.4.x86_64 .
