broken behavior with `look`
by Mike Hunter 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hey everybody, I'm having a strange problem with a hosted CentOS environment. I like to use `look` to correct my spelling. But it isn't willing to help me with the word "manager": #>look man | wc -l 1001 #>look mana | wc -l 0 #>grep "^mana" /usr/share/dict/words | wc -l 54 #>md5sum `which look` 05ef59ae2f9183e525ec531dcb07ee8b /usr/bin/look #>cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.3 (Final) #>uname -a Linux blahblah.com 2.6.8-022stab078.9-entnosplit #1 SMP Thu Jun 8 12:46:44 MSD 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Can anybody confirm these results? Any suggestions for a fix? I found this bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=153276 Which refers to this closed bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147949 If I'm reading the bug history right, it got fixed by updating the words file, but now it seems broken again and I don't see any activity. #>rpm -qf /usr/bin/look util-linux-2.12a-16.EL4.16 #>rpm -qf /usr/share/dict/words words-3.0-3 Thanks!

Freenx full screen mode problem fixed in 0.5.x?
by Steve Bergman 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

I sent this last week and never got a response. I take it, then, that no one has come up with a better workaround than ctrl-alt-f? Thanks, Steve Bergman ========= In early June, there was an update from freenx 0.4.x to 0.5.x in centosplus. It broke full screen mode for Linux clients. I am aware of the ctrl-alt-f workaround. But I have quite a few users at branch offices who depend on NX and with employee turnover and all, it has been a source of confusion for us. Has anyone come up with a fix so that fullscreen works without crtl-alt-f? I've searched the freenx/knx list and have found no mention of anyone there having problems. Just the centosplus version. I prefer to continue using the CentOS-provided package, though. ==========

CentosPlus Kernel coward
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

I strongly suspect that going to the CentosPlus Kernel would be good for my notebook: Not having NTFS support is making moving files from my XP drive to my Linux drive a pain. Suspend is not working. Rather I suspend and never get out of it! My notebook has an internal SD reader that is not recognized. I notice on boot a message that: ide2: I/O resource 0x3EE-0x3EE not free. ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe I suspect this is the SD reader. When I insert a USB MP3 player with an internal drive and SD drive, only the internal drive is recognized. The SD card drive is ignored. And so forth. But http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt warns me: You might want to exclude any packages from the [base] and [updates] section of your /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file like this: exclude=php* kernel* postfix* And I am not sure what to do with this. I have started using yumex on my notebook to 'cherry pick' from CentosPlus (Firebird and Thunderbird) and CentosContrib.

Thunderbird Upgraded from 1.0.8 to 1.5.0.4 and MOZ_NO_REMOTE dead
by Robert Moskowitz 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Since Centos 4.3 comes with Thunderbird 1.0.8, I downloaded the tar of 1.5.0.4 fro mozilla and tried to figure out what to do with it. per http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.4.html#install I was just suppose to copy the files.... In the end I put it in /usr/lib/thunderbird I am NOT a Linux guy so could not figure out how to properly replace /usr/lib/thunderbird-1.0.8 and /usr/bin/thunderbird... So I setup the following script, acct1mail: set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird -profile ~/data/acct1/Mail & set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0 and acct2mail set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird -profile ~/data/acct2/Mail & set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0 In 1.0.8, running these two scripts (mozilla-thunderbird -profile ...)and have two copies of Thunderbird running. with 1.5.4 the second script gets: Warning: unrecognized command line flag -profile And focus returns to the running copy for acct1. Advice?

AW: AW: [CentOS] Problems with installation

I will install CentOS 4.3 and downloaded the driver disk from Dell for RedHat Enterprise Linux 4: Description: Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller 5 Device Driver for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, X86 & X86_64 I saw a few minutes ago that the driver disk is extracted within /tmp/ramfs/DD-01. Therfore I know that the network is working correct. I will try to extract the module and insmod/modprobe it by hand to see what happens -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] Im Auftrag von Fabian Arrotin Gesendet: Dienstag, 18.

Which version of CentOS are you trying to install ? CentOS 4.3 ? and for which processor ? i686 or x86_64 ? Verify that you have the right driver disk ... If you want to see which modules are included in modules.cgz, just explode it (gzip -d -c /media/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio -i -d) somewhere (in /tmp for example) and compare the kernel modules version.

AW: [CentOS] Problems with installation
by Horchler, Joerg 18 Jul '06

step by step :-) I booted now with 'linux dd=nfs:<ip>:<path> nostorage nousb ksdevice=eth0' nostorage to disable probing for the SAS-devices and nousb to keep my keyboard working. This works nearly perfect: anaconda loads the driver disk and shows me the text of the file 'modinfo' within the devices list (LSI Logic megaraid_sas Driver ver v00.00.02.03). But when I try to load the driver I can see on the second console (alt+F2) that he can't find the kernel module. Is the installer not able to copy the contents of the disk-image into a specific directory? What is happening when anaconda is loading the disk? Is it neccessary to extract 'modules.cgz' on the driver disk first? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] Im Auftrag von Matt Hyclak Gesendet: Montag, 17.
