Re: [CentOS] Set font and size in xterm
by James B. Byrne 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

I now have fonts! I added the font directories found by /usr/sbin/chkfontpath to the Files Section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and following a restart things began to work. The system startup script for xfs makes reference to a /tmp/.font-unix directory. An error message appears on the boot details screen to the effect that lstat reports /tmp/.font-unix does not exist but I can find no reference to this error in any of the logs. After startup I can find that directory but it is empty. I have no idea how this is supposed to work but I suspect that the dynamic discovery and addition of the font directories is failing for some reason. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Lines starting with "!" are comments and may be removed. > Thanks. I thought as much. It really does seem to come down to the fact that xfs is not finding the fonts and that therefore only the default fonts are left available to XTerm. I have tried configuring the FontPath argument in xorg.conf but all that manages to do is to stop the xserver from starting at all. I looked into the rc script and to me it is a nightmare. To begin with, instead of just configuring the font directories the startup script runs a font locater utility /usr/sbin/chkfontpath. When run from the command line this yields these results: /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1 /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 /usr/share/fonts/webcore But when I run xset q I do not see these listed: Font Path: built-ins Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On Font cache: Server does not have the FontCache Extension File paths: Config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Modules path: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules Log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log I would appreciate some guidance on how to proceed from this point. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Set font and size in xterm
by James B. Byrne 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

I have a situation where gnome console does not handle vt102 escape sequences properly and therefor need to employ xterm instead. When I run xterm from a gnome terminal window I am presented with an extremely small terminal window employing an almost unreadably small font. I have attempted to set the font size using xrdb and a custom .Xresources file. I can change the colour scheme. I can create a scrollbar. I can move the scrollbar to either the right or left window margin. What I cannot do is to change the font size. When I do xfontsel I get this error: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion and I see only four fonts listed in the application window, all of them small and none with a point size of greater than 12.0.! If I do fc-cache -f -v I see 14+ font directories containing more than 100 fonts # fc-cache -f -v /usr/share/fonts: caching, 0 fonts, 7 dirs /usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts: caching, 31 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera: caching, 10 fonts, 0 dirs . . . fc-cache: succeeded but I also see lots of this: /var/cache/fontconfig: invalid cache file: f93b699072f38b46be29013fc93f1bbe-x86.cache-2 /var/cache/fontconfig: invalid cache file: 7ddba6133ef499da58de5e8c586d3b75-x86.cache-2 I really need some help sorting this out. If someone could explain to me what I am missing I would be most grateful. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Terminal with variable sized font
by Frank Cox 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Using gnome-terminal and the like, you can set the font size that you want and then if you drag the window larger or smaller, you get more or less character per line. Is there a terminal that allows you to set the rows and columns that you want and then resizes the text instead? gnome-terminal has a zoom-in and zoom-out function that's close to what I want but it's not "infinite" and works by repeatedly hitting hotkeys, not by changing the window size. The objective here is to use ncurses-based programs and be able to "blow them up" by dragging the terminal window bigger or clicking the maximize button. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

[OT] RHEVM List
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Greetings, Apologies for Off thread (and possibly stupid) question: Where on the net one can find the RHEV-M general list like this one for centos <rant> I have been tearing my hair for past week to make RHEV work with two boxens. One RHEV H and one running XP with two VMs uner VMware WS. One VM is openfiler for iscsi storage and another VM w2k3 for RHEVM. Search in foogle for the error "Network conenction error 5022" does not allow creation of the storage domain with couple of iscsi storage (openfiler) targets. I troubled google uncle for answers but perhaps is angry with me. sigh. And I know only *ONE* list which knows all the correct answers: centos [at] centos.org </rant> Thanks for any pointers. Regards, Rajagopal

Helper variables like %{rhel} on CentOS
by Santi Saez 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hello, I'm trying to use helper variables like %{rhel} in a .SPEC file on CentOS (as they are defined in RHEL and Fedora [1]), but it seems they are not available. Is there any way to detect automatically CentOS release from a .SPEC file in a RPM build process? As a workaround, I use this hack: %if 0%{?rhel} >= 5 (..) %endif And when calling rpmbuild I use a conditional build, like: $ rpmbuild -ba --clean --define "rhel 5" Regards, [1] http://goo.gl/dkGUg -- Santi Saez

Dear all, I'm trying to setup a development server which hosts a number of virtual hosts.and i need your advice with the following: 1. What's the best Filesystem to be used with an apache server?Relevant info: i. Mysql DB size' 1 GBii. Code directory size' 8 GB (Max file size is 5 KB)2. What's the best file structure to maximize seek time from drives?Relevant info:i. 2 X 1 TB SATAII 64MB blk Edition Int HDDii. 1 X 320GB General info: I have an additional directory which hosts all my code under /Development . this directory has a size of almost 300 GB.14 Virtual Hosts would be created on the server under /etc/httpd/VHosts/ I was thinking of the following structure: Drive A (320 GB): OS Drive B (1 TB): Mysql + /homeDrive C (1 TB): /development + /opt Would this work? i followed no guidelines with the above setup, it's just using my own logic. so i'd appreciate an expert advice with this. Thanks, --Roland

how to recreate eth0 - Realtek 8169sc
by Rudi Ahlers 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi all, Our intranet's WAN interface just stopped working yesterday, and I can't figure it out. The machine has a Gigabyte motherboard, with on-board RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet and D-Link PCI NIC for the LAN side. I can get into the LAN side without an issue, but can't see the WAN side at all.

Removing, and re-adding the eth0 interface with system-config-network doesn't actually re-create the NIC either. So, how do I re-create it?

389 Directory Server & CentOS
by Edgar Valdes 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone out there has successfully implemented 389 as a replacement or to support to a windows AD environment. I'm just starting to toy around with it in a few vm's and trying to get a feel for integrating the two together. So far I have the 389 up now I'm just working on connecting a dummy user to authenticate with it along with populating and talking with a dummy AD server. Any insights/suggestions/opinions/recommendations would be appreciated, especially before I get waste deep. Regards, Edgar Valdes
