dwm
by Jerry Geis 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

I downloaded dwm and installed - all is fine. The manual says Once installed, add to your $HOME/.xinitrc exec dwm and it should start when you run startx. I did that - if I run startx this works... however - if I am running X from /etc/inittab how do I start up dwm ? Thanks, Jerry

by Paolo De Michele 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hi, I purchased a VPS with OpenVZ with infrastructure installed Centos 6.4 64bit. When I configure OpenVPN for remote access I can not because I do not get loaded into the interface modules tun / tap from console: #cat /dev/net/tun cat: /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory #lsmod | grep tun # # uname -r 2.6.32-042stab079.6 I have to ask for support to those who sold the VPS or can I fix myself? Thanks in advance

Difficulty building custom Install CD
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Greetings, I am trying to follos the procedure as outlined in: http://smorgasbork.com/component/content/article/35-linux/128-building-a-cu… I am using Cendos minimal ISO to build a custom installer and Live CD (with addition of NTP, samba and some custom application with dependencies) According to the above link: "In RHEL/CentOS 6, this file is no longer called just "comps.xml"; instead, it has some horrendous hex string for a name. In CentOS 6.2, it is named bedb7dc8fdf920deffbdc5a70ea0d6d77255656556184f5e996e8a88a63d145c-c6-x86_64-comps.xml.gz. " Indeed horrendeous file. I am not able find the *comps.xml. What should I do and where would I find it. Else what is the method for pacakaging (Centos 6.4 minimal + some custom app rpms + custom configs) ? -- Regards, Rajagopal

Re: [CentOS] Apple movie trailers on Centos6/Firefox

Assuming you have the necessary codecs installed, it still doesn't work, because Apple checks your "QuickTime"-Version with some piece of Javascript. It seems to check the same info you see with 'about:plugins'. The totem plugin says 7.21 which is too low. Make it something higher, like 9.99 to be set forever. -Michael PS: There's no official way to do that. You can either patch and then rebuild from source -- or you just modify the binary ... (I admit to have done the latter.) But this is all you need. The rest is taken care of out of the box.

This is a test of Nixnet blocking
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Sep '13

Most of the time since last Thursday or so, that piece of crap called Nixnet (ix.manitu) has been blocking my hosting provider's mailservers. I did ask, when I talked to support last week, and they host *millions* of domains. They do not have a million techs (neither does google - but I'm *sure* none of you have ever gotten spam from google mail, right?). Again, I'll give my argument that blocking a mailserver, rather than a domain has been the *WRONG* answer for at least 15 or more years. A dozen or so years ago, they blocked Chicago roadrunner... which provided 'Net access and email to about half the City of Chicago, IL, USA, which, Karanbir, is about a quarter the size of the London metro area, so we're talking hundreds of thousands of people. Now, in days after massive consolidation of ISPs (even the Canadian ISP that userfriendly's Columbia Internet has bee bought and closed up), this means that they're blocking telcos and giant hosting providers. I'm really, REALLY tired of being blocked when a couple dozen domains, hiding out in millions of them at one hosting provider, results in a few million people being blocked from sending email. mark

Evergreen ILS on CentOS?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

I spent a number of hours at one of the local SF clubs turning a desktop into a dual-boot (if they ever need that for anything) CentOS 6.4 system, then trying to install Evergreen, an oss library package. Can you say, "dependency hell"? I suspect they wrote it on Ubuntu (this is client/server software, dunno why they'd do that). At any rate, I yum installed the postgresql 9.x package that pgsql has on their official site, and that installed with no problems at all. Then evergreen. Which wouldn't build, because libmemcache was too old. I tried to build a newer package, after d/l one from the memcache official site. And *that* wouldn't build, because it wanted something that libevent-devel for CentOS 6.4 didn't provide. I've got two possible routes, here: a) I can try to build an older, deprecated version of Evergreen, or I can try to build a newer libevent and stuff - some of which, IIRC, kde wants. Opinions? Suggestions? And if anyone's worked with evergreen, PLEASE TALK TO ME!!! mark

Gnome 2.x window placement
by Fred Smith 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

When starting a program from the commandline in C5, is there any way to specify where on the screen the resulting window will be put? I have a nuisance of a problem: Running rdesktop with the -D option (which hides window decorations, making the rdesktop window appear borderless), one cannot (as far as I can figure out) drag the window: there are no borders to grab, and alt-drag doesn't work either. it's always opening in a place that covers other windows, and I can't drag it away from there. specifically: I want to run two instances of rdesktop, and it always plunks the second one right on top of the first one. since I can't drag either of them, I can't see them both at the same time. (I "carefully" configure each of them so they are the exact size of the physical screen, so that it looks like a real windows session, and also prevents me from casually/stupidly closing the entire RDP window by accident.) Since I have two displays, I'd like to place one of them on each screen, by itself. Anyone know how to solve this? thanks!
