Programs on/off on virtual host machine
by Bob Hoffman 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

been playing with my host machine and thought some might want to see what I have on and the full list of chkconfig I have installed desktop and x windows system to bring up a desktop when I want one with startx. I turned 'off' quite a bit and yum removed quite a bit. These set of programs still allow full use as a host so far, including the startx desktop. Always afraid to remove or disable something because you 'never know' what might happen. After two reboots this works. This is only the chkconfig list, there are other programs that do not list in chkconfig I guess, but this is just for chkconfig. standalone virtual host, no network file share and all that. Removing or disabling many of the programs like rpc stuff has seriously taken out a lot of the errors in the logs.

The problem actually seems to be that GNOME desktop settings for font smoothing and hinting, as configured via Preferences->Fonts->Details.., are not honoured. I don't think I've configured anything special there, but apparently, I don't even get normal defaults... I can change the appearance to something better by editing ~/.fonts.conf, though, but I'm still not sure if I've been able to reproduce the exact settings of other programs. And I don't think I've had to do this in the past... - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Thunderbird and Firefox 10 font rendering
by Toralf Lund 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi. I just upgraded to CentOS 5.8 and got Thunderbird and Firefox 10, and I regret it already... I find that reading texts in these new versions is much more straining to the eyes than it used to be, as something must have changed with the font rendering - simply put, all letters appears to have a yellowish halo or "ghost". I'm sure the colour is an optical illusion, but again, something appears to be off with the display - and it's not the fonts as such, as they are the same as the desktop defaults, and I don't see this in other applications. The problem is particularly bad in Thunderbird, but I think I see it in Firefox, too. Does anyone else experience this? Any idea how to fix it (besides downgrading)? - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

xfs, inode64, and NFS
by John R Pierce 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

we recently deployed some large XFS file systems with centos 6.2 used as NFS servers... I've had some reports of a problem similar to the one reported here... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/xfs-inode64-nfs-export-n… these reports are somewhat vague (third indirectly reported via internal corporate channels from sites in the far east). is anyone familiar with this inode64 stuff and NFS in EL6.2 ? -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast

Anyone recognize "www-mysql"?
by Adam Tauno Williams 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

I'm transitioning someone's quite old server [Debian] to a new CentOS6 host. All going pretty well. But they server up some functionality using CGI scripts via Apache that use something referred to on the Debian box as the www-mysql package? This a binary that executes HTML pages containing embedded SQL statements. Anyone know where the source for this can be found or if it has a more specific name? The 'helpfulness' of search engines is getting in the way of finding the provenance of this code. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams

Most of the new servers use 2.5" drives and while they might still use as much power per 1u of space due to using more blades in a chassis or having more CPUs and RAM, we get much more performance from the same space and power consumption. It's not such a big deal for desktops, but you can get small low power systems if you look around - or just use a laptop that will sleep when you close the lid. Heh. Many of the new servers we are getting are all on the order of 48 or 64 cores, and they eat and drink power. The same UPS that would handle six 4 or 8 core boxes can handle *three*, if we're lucky, when a clustering job's running.... mark

So we end up replacing the backend servers wholesale every few years, re-purposing the older generation for less demanding tasks. But, within the realm of hardware with compatible drivers there's not a whole lot of difference in the effort to copy a VM image or a hardware image with clonezilla or a similar approach. I agree that VMware is great where it works, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
