I really should have caught that. So I was all ready to edit grub.conf and then slapped my hand. You TEST it out first, adding the command at boot time. ARGH! Once before (5+ years back) I had to add a kernel param and did it wrong and it was a big recovery challenge. No test and verify before making permanent. Whew. So I googled the param to get its format right, and it is iommu=off. Without that dash in front. But as I read up on this option, it does not sound like something I want to globally turn off just to stop a supposedly annoying message (if they have indeed worked around it, and my new DNS server is running with this OK). So I will test from booting and typing the option in without actually altering grub.conf. But if there is a way to just stop getting this message, that would be good too. thank you all for your help. > > https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+add+kernel+params > http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt >

RHEL 6.4 == FC?
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

I have read that v 6.3 is about Fedora 12. Now that v 6.4 has shipped (no I won't be dumb enough to ask when C6.4 we ship), what version of Fedora does it match up with?

Strange errors with NFS under CentOS 6.3
by C. L. Martinez 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi all, This morning, my centos NFS server returns these error messages: RPC: fragment too large: 0x00800103 RPC: multiple fragments per record not supported RPC: fragment too large: 0x00800103 RPC: multiple fragments per record not supported RPC: fragment too large: 0x00800103 RPC: multiple fragments per record not supported RPC: fragment too large: 0x00800103 RPC: multiple fragments per record not supported I have googled arround this type of error and the only solution that I have found is to change tso to off in network interface, but error continues. Any idea?? Many thanks.

Packaging bug: xulrunner-17.0.3-1.el5_9.i386.rpm
by Robert Heller 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Minor packaging bug: with the new xulrunner (at least for 32-bit): When running the /usr/bin/xulrunner script, it looks for the binary in /usr/lib/xulrunner-17.0.3, but all of the files are actually installed in /usr/lib/xulrunner. Creating a symlink: cd /usr/lib ln -s xulrunner xulrunner-17.0.3 cures the problem. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

libtiff with bigtiff support
by Weiner, Michael 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Can anyone tell me if the current libtiff-3.9.4-9.el6_3.x86_64 RPM has bigtiff support built into it? I need this for tiling rather large images for the Virtual Microscope project I am working on, and I am having issues building the 4x versions that only seem to be available for F18.

looking for sssd basics and simple config with existing ldap centos 6.3
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hi, I'm planing to setup a new samba fileserver as a member to an existing samba 3.x SMB. The old server is still nss-pam-ldapd configured (historic left overs). As I dont have any pressure to have the new server up and running within the next few hours, I liked to set up sssd with our existing openldap. After googling and reading some documentations from redhat/fedora I think I do have a basic clue on how it should work. But at the end I'm not getting it up and running the way I expected. My question: "rpm -ql sssd" shows a config in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf, but this file dose not exist on my system. (May be some how a packagebug?) Dose anybody has a working example file to share with me? I tried to edit some examples from the web and put some config together, but without working success. Thanks for any suggestion, hint etc. Regards Götz -- Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator - Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH
