How do you disable gnome-panel on centos 6? Before I could at least kill gnome-panel on centos 5, however on centos 6 even kill -9 gnome-panel restarts it again. Anyone know how? jerry

Adding the [SOLVED] Tag to break threads
by Karanbir Singh 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

hi guys, Just a quick note about adding [SOLVED] tags to the Subject lines on email lists : Dont do it, it does not help and makes no difference to the content - yet, it breaks threading of responses. Unline web forums, email clients will try and thread using the Subject and in-reply-to headers to retain thread sanity. So dont please dont break that, its quite a key part of the whole mailing lists experience for everyone. I understand that some people seem to think that adding that makes it easier to later search on google. And if thats the case, adding the SOLVED word in your actual email body would do just as well, Add it high up the body content for even better effect. - KB

by Fajar Priyanto 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hi all, Can pls share your experience on this? Currently I have this network: 10.1.16.0/22. 10.1.16.0-10.16.17.254 are DHCP managed 10.1.18.0-10.1.19.254 are statically assigned If I need to expand it to: 10.1.16.0/20 1. What is the best way to do it with minimal network disruption? 2. If I keep some machine with 22 subnet mask, will it still be able to talk to the other machines in it's range? Thank you. Fajar.

Looking for ntop alternative
by Rudi Ahlers 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi, Can anyone please recomment an ntop alternative for me, which is more stable as well? I need to monitor all connections to and from a CentOS 5 server and ntop does it fairly well, but seems to crash at random times, and thus looses all the date prior to the crash. Cacti / MRTG only gives complete bandwidth usage on the given interface, but I need to know how much bandwidth goes where, and comes from where on which protocol etc. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Well, my new workstation has an internal speaker, as well as the jacks for external. I want beeps, if necessary, but I can't figure out how to tell it *not* to route streaming audio to the jacks, and *not* through the PC speaker. Any ideas, folks? mark

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-6.0 Minimal i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2011 02:54:02 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.0 Minimal i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4E3212BA.4080702(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.0/minimal for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. The minimal install iso media is an alternative install to the main CentOS-6.0 distribution and comes with a trimmed down, preselected rpm list. However, it still runs off the standard installer, with all the regular features that one would expect from the main distribution, except the rpm selection screen has been disabled. Running an install from this media will not allow you to change the rpms selected for install. Release Notes for this media can be found at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.0 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : CentOS-6.0-x86_64-minimal.iso: 4ac5656cec3fc6e614bd92b6942a02de004227db6d0a4b7745a99b77676b36e7 CentOS-6.0-i386-minimal.iso b620e8ce296323be7d9fa97ec39da7be9eb5551b3b7a70c6548e8b28e6a7ee87 The ISO files are avilable at : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ Since the size for these files is relatively small, no torrent files are being released. +++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTES: We have tried to test this install for most deployment roles, including VMs and physical machines. And with lvm, mdraid, iscsi and dm-multipath environments. These images also contain the complete recovery and rescue environment found in the main distribution. You should be able to use these images from CD media, DVD media, USB storage devices. We do not recommend these images be used with kickstart files written for the main CentOS distro images. An install will setup yum to work with the regular default CentOS 6.0 repositories. Once the installed machine instace boots it should work just like a regular CentOS machine, with only the bare minimal rpms installed. All package management, networking and storage related functionality should already be in place. +++++++++++++++++++++++ There is no upstream Minimal media product. These ISOs only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.0 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution. We appreciate all forms of feedback about these images, including specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future releases. The best place to provide this feedback is via the centos-devel mailing list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) and feature requests via the issue tracker ( http://bugs.centos.org/ ). Special thanks to Manuel Wolfshant for requesting and then doing a lot of the work to make the minimal disk images happen; And everyone on the CentOS QA team who contributed their time and resources towards testing these images.

centos 6 gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor
by Jerry Geis 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi all, I am looking at processes in centos 6. How do I stop gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor from starting. I tried searching in gconf-edit for it but did not find anything. I have ran these commands and rebooted. (I verified they are unchecked now also) gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount false gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open false but gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor is still running. Thanks, Jerry

CentOS 6 Webmail
by John Hinton 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

I see that SquirrelMail is gone from 6. Is there a package in here somewhere that is a webmail system? Otherwise, I suppose it lives in one of the repos like sourceforge. I just wanted to check if something new existed before doing that. John
