But we can't really get anything more than that from what XP tells us... or?

Alternatively, perhaps better, you can type "about:plugins" (without quotes) in the Firefox address bar. Under "Tools..." I have "Adobe Reader 9.3", "Adobe Reader 9.4" (temporarily disabled due to testing), "Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-in Compatible", "NPAPI Plugins Wrapper 1.3.0", and "Shockwave Flash 10 0 r153", that's all. Now looking at about:plugins under "Shockwave Flash" it says: File: nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so Version: Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153 So to your question, the evidence seems to be saying that, yes, Shockwave is the same as Flash, at least on Linux.

Postgresql uses sockets - but I'd like to use TCP/IP
by Timothy Kesten 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi Folks, CentOS 5.5 - Postgresql 8.4 Installed - startet try to createuser -d- -a -p username get message could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0"? postrgesql.conf has line listen_addresses = '192.168.0.2' Why sockets (in /tmp are s.PGSQL.5431 ) What goes wrong? I have an other installation on other server with same conf. Files. There works all as I expect (no socket). Any hints welcome Thx Timothy

Best way to extend pv partition for LVM
by Kai Schaetzl 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I've replaced disks in a hardware RAID 1 with larger disks and enlarged the array. Now I have to find a way to tell LVM about the extra space. It seems there are two ways: 1. delete partition with fdisk and recreate a larger one. This is obviously a bit tricky if you do not want to lose data, I haven't investigated further yet. 2. create another partition on the disk, pvcreate another pv and then add it to the existing volume group with vgextend 3. a possible third way: increase the partition size. According to Google most if not all disk tools want to resize a file system as well and since there is no file system they will fail. I'm not sure about the status with this for the tools that come with CentOS (fdisk, parted, other?) No. 2 seems to be the easy way. Any objections? One I thought of: What does happen when I use No. 2 and I add new lvs? Can it happen that new lvs get "spanned" over both pvs or can I assure that a pv gets created using only one of the pvs? (I would prefer the latter, it doesn't matter if I use a few MB because of the ineffectiveness of allocation.) Thanks for recommendations. Kai

cobbler installation of CentOS-5.5
by Timothy Murphy 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I'm trying to install CentOS-5.5 on my new HP micro-server, which has no CD drive. I've set up cobbler and cobbler-web on my old server, and can access cobbler-web from my laptop. I have 3 queries about the installation. 1. Is there any advantage is using the 64-bit CentOS rather than 32-bit? 2. The CentOS OS seems to be available in 7 or 8 CDs. (I tried downloading the DVD ISO with ktorrent, but this was a complete failure. It started OK, but then created literally thousands of links to one file, which brought my server down, and left it in a state which was quite hard to clean up.) But how exactly do I "cobbler import" these? I see that for Fedora on my laptop I ran sudo cobbler import --path=/mnt/dvd --name=F14-i386 3. Is there actually a way of converting the 7 or 8 CD ISOs into a DVD ISO? I saw instructions that suggested concatenating them, and then running rsync against a DVD ISO, at <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2011-January/104448.html>. I tried the site recommended, but could not access the DVD ISO. In fact, if I could access a DVD ISO, couldn't I download it directly? So what would be the point of this exercise? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

figuring out LogVol details for mount
by neubyr 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hi, I need to mount a LVM in rescue mode to create a new initrd image. I am not sure how do I fond out which LogVol is to be mounted. How do I find it out? In most of the configs I have used LogVol00 with ext3 filesystem which contains OS install. This particular system is not installed by me and I am not sure how do I find it out. I did try 'lvm lvs' command, but probably that's not the right command here. Any help? -- thanks, neuby.r.
