Gelcells are different than the sealed lead acid batteries found in UPS's. They have different charging requirements, and will discharge differently than SLAs. Probably best to purchase replacement batteries from the manufacturer... HTH Thanks!

module kernel for adaptec 2110s in CenOS 4.2
by iagosineiro＠yahoo.es 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hi. I've used ghost for change the ide disk for an array of scsi in raid using an adaptec controller 2110s. Now when I boot it didn't boot correctly. Looking for in Internet (http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_46_4969.shtm) I guest that I have to rebuild the initial ramdisk to contain the proper kernel modules for the adaptec controller. But what is the kernel module for 2110s in kernel 2.6.x? I also have to adding a line in /etc/modprobe.conf, but I don't know the format for that. Thanks in advance. Iago.

Transferring user quotas?
by Kai Schaetzl 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Is there a way of transferring user quotas from one machine to another? Where does the quota get stored? Non of the scarce documentation for the quota commands tells this. Apparently it can't be in the aquota.* files since I can repquota without them. Or does it get saved in some humanly unreadable filesystem information?

Evolution Updated RPM
by Brent DiNicola 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

I realize that the Evolution included with 4.3 is not really 2.0, but it is not 2.4/2.6 either. Has anyone out there tried or successfully updated Evolution to the 2.6 version (or even 2.4) on CentOS? The OS is doing great on the desktop, I am however trying to use a Scalix connector that relies on some major changes that were done around 2.4 version of Evolution and it's Data Server. I have done a bit of digging and so far, to update to Evolution 2.4+ you would need a newer form of glib2 installed, which at that point would be a core update. Anyone have any luck or advice on this? Perhaps someone got the Scalix connector working on older Evolution (which would be ok with me).

Something keep modifying cups config
by Reuben D. Budiardja 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hello, I have the following line in my /etc/cups/mime.types uncommented : application/octet-stream so that Windows machine which can use the printer driver can print through the cups printer set up on a CentOS box. But something keep changing the file by commenting out the line. So sometimes printing from Windows would stop working and it the cups error_log I see: E [21/Mar/2006:12:58:34 -0500] print_job: Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'! I [21/Mar/2006:12:58:34 -0500] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing rules enabled? All I need is usually just uncomment that line in /etc/cups/mime.types and restart cups. So I couldn't figure out what keeps changing the files. Am I not supposed to edit the file directly, or am I missing something else here ? Thanks for any help. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
