by MHR 08 Jan '09

Checking fan state
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

I just replaced my fan in my nc2400. It was a 5hour job. Had to pull EVERYTHING to get to where they have the fan in the thing. Now I want to know if it is working. It is suppose to be thermostatically controlled, and it takes time to heat up. So how can I find out what Centos knows about the system temp and fan state? It was hard to tell if I put the connector in the right way. At least if that is all I did wrong, I can get to that connector with only pulling the drive....

Yum Issue.. Installing Older Package Version
by Tim Nelson 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I'm trying to install a package from a not-to-be-named repository (privately operated for some proprietary software). They currently have a package I need but offer multiple versions. However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm unable to do so. So, how would you specify version number for a package with two candidates but the same name? I'm at a loss... :-( Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

Scriptable way to edit yum .repo files?
by Amos Shapira 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hello, Is there a standard programmatic way to manipulate yum configuration files, particularly the .repo files? I want to add things like "priority=..." per repo, or "check_obsoletes=1" to the priorities plugin config. I can cook specific search/append using perl or sed but was wondering whether there is a more elegant way. I found Perl's Conf::INI module but it expects comments beginning with ";", not "#". Thanks, --Amos

Obtaining a newer Broadcomm (bcm43xx) driver for CentOS 5
by Bart Schaefer 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

I'm using CentOS 5 (w/all latest updates as of 2008-01-06) on an HP laptop -- in fact, the exact laptop described here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Pavilion-ze5300_Series Ever since I switched from SHARED to OPEN authentication (and hence from using ndiswrapper to the bcm43xx module, as explained on that wiki page), I've been having packet loss and/or collision on the wireless device, to the point that recently I've needed to plug in to a wired network in order to get yum updates. I'd like to try installing a newer version of the driver, but I'm having a fail on searching for the sources; I don't want to build an entire new kernel. Does anyone have a pointer to those driver sources or better yet to a DKMS or similar package for them?

How many users do you have? One detriment I've found is that much of it's backend relies on Java and requires some serious tuning for installations with a large user base. Also, the logging facilities use MySQL and can cause huge performance issues especially when running consolidations/stat generations. Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.
