Oracle UEK kernel on CentOS
by Chris 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hello CentOS Guys, What do you think about the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel? Since Release 2 of the UEK Kernel, all updates are available free of charge > http://public-yum.oracle.com/ My questions: Does the Oracle UEK kernel really perform better than the default centos kernel? Technical advantages and disadvantages? Would you use the Oracle UEK Kernel on centos? -- Chris

Missing /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir on CentOS 6 ?
by James Pearson 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

I'm trying to work out if this is a bug or a feature of CentOS 6 ... it appears the file /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir is missing on CentOS 6 The file is owned by the RPM xorg-x11-fonts-misc - but is a 'ghost' file - that is, it is owned by the RPM but doesn't exist in the RPM However, nothing (as far as I can tell) re-generates this file on CentOS 6 In CentOS 5, the file is a ghost file owned by the xorg-x11-fonts-base RPM - but the RPM %post scripts generates this file (along with /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/large/encodings.dir file). There is nothing similar in the %post section of the CentOS 6 xorg-x11-fonts-misc RPM I'm not sure if this file is missing by design - or is a bug ... The reason I ask, is that a user has an application that is looking for an X11 font name that does not appear in any font.scale or font.dir files on CentOS 6 - but does on CentOS 5 - but the actual (identical) font file exists on CentOS 6 The font.scale and font.dir files have fewer entries on CentOS 6 than the corresponding CentOS 5 files Stracing mkfontscale shows that it tries to open /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir - which isn't there - however, if I manually create this file on CentOS 6 - using the command 'mkfontscale -n -e /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings' and then re-create the font.scale and font.dir files for font directory in question - then the 'missing' font name is now listed - and can be used by the application So, I'm trying to work out if I'm missing something here - or this is a bug/feature of CentOS 6 ? Thanks James Pearson

Speedtest.mini on a local website?

19 Jul '12

I wonder if anyone has got speedtest.mini from <http://speedtest.net/mini.php> working under CentOS-6? (It's a version of speedtest that one can run on a local web-server.) It used to work for me, but hasn't for a long time (maybe several years ...) Any suggestions or elucidation gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

LibreOffice does not start
by me＠tdiehl.org 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hi, I just upgraded to C-6.3. Since the upgrade when I try to start LibreOffice I get the following error: "The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration." I tried running it from both the command line and the application menu. If I run it as root it starts up normally. Google says a lot of people are having the problem but there do not seem to be any useful solutions. Has anyone solved this problem? Regards, -- Tom me(a)tdiehl.org Spamtrap address me123(a)tdiehl.org
