Is Centos 5.5 too old fro Google Chrome?
by Todd Cary 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I tried to install Google Chrome and received the dependencies error. Is Centos too old for the new Chrome or is there an older Chrome version that is compatible? Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

Tips for motherboard with multiple PCI / PCI-e slots
by robert mena 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, I need to fit at least three NICs and I was looking for motherboard models that contain 3 or 4 CPI (or PCI-e) slots and works with CentOS. I had a problem in the past with some models that had a bug and did not work well with linux (ok with windows) so that's way I am asking this here.

But we can't really get anything more than that from what XP tells us... or?

At least for Windows two separate > installers are needed. In Firefox click Tools/Addons/Plugins. What do you see listed there? Alternatively, perhaps better, you can type "about:plugins" (without quotes) in the Firefox address bar. Under "Tools..." I have "Adobe Reader 9.3", "Adobe Reader 9.4" (temporarily disabled due to testing), "Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-in Compatible", "NPAPI Plugins Wrapper 1.3.0", and "Shockwave Flash 10 0 r153", that's all. Now looking at about:plugins under "Shockwave Flash" it says: File: nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so Version: Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153 So to your question, the evidence seems to be saying that, yes, Shockwave is the same as Flash, at least on Linux. Or do you see something different? > > AFAIK, Shockwave isn't available for anything but Windows and possibly Mac, > while a working Flash is available for most platforms. > > Just to mention it, I've installed the 64b Adobe Flash preview release on CentOS > 5.5 x64 and can now luxuriate in viewing Youtube from Linux. 8-] I've been able to play some Youtube stuff... sometimes it doesn't play-- for what reason, I haven't been able to see.

Postgresql uses sockets - but I'd like to use TCP/IP
by Timothy Kesten 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi Folks, CentOS 5.5 - Postgresql 8.4 Installed - startet try to createuser -d- -a -p username get message could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0"? postrgesql.conf has line listen_addresses = '192.168.0.2' Why sockets (in /tmp are s.PGSQL.5431 ) What goes wrong? I have an other installation on other server with same conf. Files. There works all as I expect (no socket). Any hints welcome Thx Timothy

Best way to extend pv partition for LVM
by Kai Schaetzl 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I've replaced disks in a hardware RAID 1 with larger disks and enlarged the array. Now I have to find a way to tell LVM about the extra space. It seems there are two ways: 1. delete partition with fdisk and recreate a larger one. This is obviously a bit tricky if you do not want to lose data, I haven't investigated further yet. 2. create another partition on the disk, pvcreate another pv and then add it to the existing volume group with vgextend 3. a possible third way: increase the partition size. According to Google most if not all disk tools want to resize a file system as well and since there is no file system they will fail. I'm not sure about the status with this for the tools that come with CentOS (fdisk, parted, other?) No. 2 seems to be the easy way. Any objections? One I thought of: What does happen when I use No. 2 and I add new lvs? Can it happen that new lvs get "spanned" over both pvs or can I assure that a pv gets created using only one of the pvs? (I would prefer the latter, it doesn't matter if I use a few MB because of the ineffectiveness of allocation.) Thanks for recommendations. Kai
