Translate Centos Release Notes into your own non-English Language
by Always Learning 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Centos 6.0 Release Notes are here http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.0 Volunteers whose native (or first language) is not English are invited to translate the Release Notes into their own language. There are probably other useful translation tasks to make Centos understandable to people all around the world. Should the Centos Mailing List diversify into non-English language versions ? For example, Chinese (which version?) , Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian etc. etc. ? For example: chinese(a)centos.org -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

centos 6 (what else? :) :)
by fred smith 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi all! My thanks to the Centos team for continuing to slave away on C6 even with all the distractions!!! Just did a test install on my eeepc 901 (on an external drive, til I'm comfortable with it) and find that it doesn't seem to know how to talk to the ralink 2860 wireless chipset. A few months back I did a test install of Scientific Linux 6 and as I recall it (I may be mis-remembering) it "just worked". So I enabled EPEL and RPMFUSION but they don't seem to have the driver either. Clues appreciated. Thanks again to all to work on this! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

Show your CentOS Support
by Karanbir Singh 11 Jul '11

hi guys, I have about 80 CentOS T-Shirts, ranging from Medium to 3XL in size. These are the grey T-shirts we can see Ralph, Garry and the guys from hostdime modeling for us at: http://www.karan.org/pics/centos/images/002-IMG_2571.JPG If you would like one, please send me an email on kbsingh at the centos.org domain, and let me know your address and what size you would want, I would be happy to ship it out to any part of the world as long as you are willing to cover postage costs ( as an example : they fit into jiffy bags that cost £1 at the postoffice, and its about £1.50 shipping per Tshirt to the UK via first class ). First come, first serve! And I will confirm costs before sending them out. - KB

Upgrade from CentOS 5.x to 6.0
by Trey Dockendorf 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Great news about CentOS 6.0 being available, and I figured I'd ask the most obvious question, what can I expect when upgrading from CentOS 5.6 to 6.0? I have not had to go from one major version of CentOS to another so this is new territory for me. Is the processes just like an install except there's an "Upgrade" option? Does an upgrade do a "yum update" of everything installed? Most of my systems use EPEL and some the IUS repos...is there a way during the upgrade to just upgrade system components and leave things like PHP, httpd and MySQL alone for now? Any suggestions on monitoring the upgrade progress via syslog or some other method so I can see exactly what is being done during the upgrade? Thanks - Trey

CentOS and Bandwidth
by Michael Peterson 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

I am looking forward to using CentOS 6 soon. I have the torrent running to download and help others download it. I am trying out Scientific Linux 6 while awaiting the arrival of CentOS 6. It took a lot of work to get it installed and configured on a system. I plan to run them both on 2 systems and see what happens. I look forward to the release of CentOS 6.1 soon also. Let me know where I can browse to see if I can help in any areas other than the torrent. If I have a T1 size pipe going out what is my max possible kB out? I have the torrent turned up to 100kB and my VPN still seems responsive. Thanks for all the hard working in getting this release ready. Good job on getting CentOS 5.6 out first however.

bond0 performance issues in 5.6
by Digimer 10 Jul '11

Hi all, I've got two gigabit ethernet interfaces bonded in CentOS 5.6. I've set "miimode=1000" and I've tried "mode=" 0, 4 and 6. I've not been able to get better than 112MB/sec, which is the same as the non-bonded interfaces. My config files are: === cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-{eth1,eth2,bond0} # SN1 HWADDR=00:30:48:fd:26:71 DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=none MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes # SN2 HWADDR=00:1B:21:87:80:CE DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=none MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes # Bonded interfaces for Storage Network DEVICE=bond0 IPADDR=192.168.21.80 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no BONDING_OPTS="miimon=1000 mode=0" === I'm running benchmarks using iperf (.90 is the second machine with a matching bonded connection): === iperf -f M -c 192.168.21.90 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.21.90, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 0.02 MByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.21.80 port 35728 connected with 192.168.21.90 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1086 MBytes 109 MBytes/sec === This is the speed a non-bonded interface: === iperf -f M -c 192.168.22.90 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.22.90, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 0.02 MByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.22.80 port 57475 connected with 192.168.22.90 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1125 MBytes 112 MBytes/sec === The switch is a D-Link DGS-3100, which is a managed switch that I believe is capable of 801.3ad (for mode=4).

CentOS 6 supported hardware
by Mark Weaver 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Has anyone seen a supported hardware list on CentOS 6? I've been looking around for the last few days; even looked at RedHat's site but didn't find one. I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card in it and I'm trying to find out if it's going to have native driver support for the WIFI. thanks, -- Mark Weaver Computer Information Systems & Services, Inc. mweaver(a)compinfosystems.com (717) 512-9718

Wierd cursor jump when I type letter "y"
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Guys. I have this problem for a long time. In large number of times when I type letter "y", like in "you" my typing cursor jumps 2-3 rows up or 1-2 words to the left. I am unable to understand why. Could it be something with lap-top keyboard? Typing rate? CentOS 5.5 Gnome, I mostly use Firefox and Thunderbird. Ljubomir

Re: [CentOS] Triggering script from cron or web client

Offhand, I think checking for a lock file before starting is probably the easiest way to do it. That's what I do for scripts that are cronjobs but can also be initiated manually. However, this might not work if your web app is inserting/updating the data in MySQL directly rather than simply starting a new import process as I'm assuming.
