CentOS 5 on a Thinkpad T60 laptop
by Mathieu Baudier 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hello, I'm considering buying a second-hand Thinkpad T60 (with 2 GB RAM), as a secondary laptop in order to run CentOS 5 on the field. My main focus is therefore to have something robust, reliable and above all well compatible with CentOS. Hibernate / suspend feature are important to me, because that's the main issue I have with CentOS on other laptops. I have found the following information so far: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installation_CentOS_5_on_a_Thinkpad_T60 The processor is a T2300 (so 32 bits apparently): http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27233 I would be grateful if people having used CentOS on this model could share their experience (good or bad). Thanks in advance! Mathieu

foo2oak-wrapper
by Hal Davison 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Well...Greetings A client bought for me a HP Color LaserJet 1525nw printer. Installed on the local network as 192.168.1.117 A Google search brings back a number of conflicting options. Before I ball things up to much, I thought it best to check in for additional advice. The CUPS installer is complaining that it cannot locate the foo2oak-wrapper...and that it should be installed before using the printer. Yum is like me, clueless. -- Hal Davison --Hal.

some think there are no unemployed OSS folks

Are you saying there are no OSS folks who have lost their houses, their cars and their Internet connections and therefore have difficulty continuing contributing to OSS projects? I hope that is the truth, but I sincerely doubt that it is. Not substantially different in spirit than OSS is our Community Networking Grant program which supports ~ 300 not-for-profits. When we began in 1995, we offered free Internet connections to each school, library and hospital in our service area of 43 counties in north Texas. The recent downslide in the economy has made that immeasurably more difficult to continue, but we are continuing with it for another year. kind regards/ldv/vaden(a)texoma.net

Can't create mirrored LVM: Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume : 2560 more required

apache 2 and php 5.2
by Paul A 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hi originally I installed php 4 on centos 5.5 and then a few repos including the remi repo to upgrade to php5, which seems to upgrade/work without any issues. However when I make a change to the /etc/php.ini file it doesn't look like apache is seeing it, for example if I change the post_max_size and upload_max_file to 25M each apache still sees the default 2M. I also removed the /etc/php.ini file and apache is able to start with no problems and it will still see the default 2M. I was wondering if anyone can tell me why apache is not taking the settings from the /etc/php.ini file and it works without that file. Thanks, Paul rpm -qa php php-5.2.17-1.el5.art rpm -qa httpd* httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3 [root@testip5 html]# httpd -v Server version: Apache/2.2.3 Server built: Aug 30 2010 12:32:08 Httpd -M php5_module (shared) php --ini PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/pdo_odbc.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/pdo_odbc.so: undefined symbol: php_pdo_get_dbh_ce in Unknown on line 0 Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc Loaded Configuration File: (none) Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php.d Additional .ini files parsed: /etc/php.d/Fileinfo.ini, /etc/php.d/curl.ini, /etc/php.d/dba.ini, /etc/php.d/dbase.ini, /etc/php.d/dom.ini, /etc/php.d/gd.ini, /etc/php.d/imap.ini, /etc/php.d/json.ini, /etc/php.d/ldap.ini, /etc/php.d/mbstring.ini, /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini, /etc/php.d/mysql.ini, /etc/php.d/mysqli.ini, /etc/php.d/odbc.ini, /etc/php.d/pdo.ini, /etc/php.d/pdo_mysql.ini, /etc/php.d/pdo_odbc.ini, /etc/php.d/pdo_pgsql.ini, /etc/php.d/pdo_sqlite.ini, /etc/php.d/pgsql.ini, /etc/php.d/soap.ini, /etc/php.d/wddx.ini, /etc/php.d/xmlreader.ini, /etc/php.d/xmlrpc.ini, /etc/php.d/xmlwriter.ini, /etc/php.d/xsl.ini, /etc/php.d/zip.ini

Re: [CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?
by Gerhard Schneider 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Perhaps I'm a little bit pragmatic, but.. I will upgrade to 5.6 when it's out - BUT I'm not really angry when CentOS 6 would be CentOS 6.1 - if you want to be beta tester for a large distibution you still can shift to Ubuntu..

kmod-e1000e and Intel Network Card
by Soporte Virtual 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hi list It's my first message here, but I use CentOS from long time ago (sorry my language, I'm spanish from Colombia) I have a Intel board with an Integrated Network Card 82578DC. I've sucessfully installed the driver with the RPM kmod-e1000e; I've found it in ElRepo.org, and I've installed it via Yum. After I've installed the package (see this: http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2010-December/000416.html ), I do: ifdown eth1 modprobe -r e1000e ifup eth1 After these steps, my card works OK and get a valid IP address. However, when I reboot my machine, I must write those commands again. I've tried to put e1000e in /etc/modprobe.d/blachlist; however, it doesn't works. Does anubody knows what must I do to have my network card working from start? Thanks!
