by Jerry Geis 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Is there a way to specify that program X should be kep in memory and not swap it out? I have a program that takes some time to load and as long as you keep using it its responsive but if after sometime its not in use and now I use it it has a slow response till it gets swapped back in. The box in question has 1 GIG ram and its not running much else just this program really. Just looking for a way to keep it in RAM. Thanks, Jerry

Samba Setup Fails or Samba Access Fails
by Ken Plumley 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

I recently installed centos 4.1 and I'm trying to get samba working on it to serve windows boxes on a lan. I configured samba on the centos server using the graphical samba server configuration tool, which is similar to the samba setup on redhat 9 that I have successfully setup in the past. I setup samba user names and passwords with the same user names and passwords used on the win boxes. I'm not able to access any shared samba folders from win boxes on the lan. I disabled the firewall on the centos server using the graphical security level configuration tool but I still can't access the samba shares. When I use a win box to connect to samba it will not complete the connection. It acts like the firewall is still running. I disabled iptables on the centos server using the graphical services configuration tool but I still can't access the samba shares. I can ping the centos server from linux and windows boxes on the lan. The centos server can ping other machines on the lan and can access the internet. When I try to telnet into the centos server from win and linux boxes on the lan I get these messages: On linux boxes: "Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" On win boxes: Connecting To 192.168.1.2...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong or what I need to do to get samba working on centos?

Logrotate Issue
by John Hinton 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

I keep logfiles for each of our hosted domains in their root/logs directory. Each month, logrotate runs but fails to recreate the logfiles after this rotation. I've noted that a restart of Apache fixes this. The issue is Webalizer doesn't have log files to work from for a day to several days depending on whatever the heck it is that seems to recreate them like on Sunday following the start of a new month. Perhaps my storage of the logs in a 'semi-non-standard' location is causing this? I sure would like to have some input into a best solution. I really don't like automatic restarts of Apache, but if there is no other option, I'll do that. Anybody had this issue and come up with a good cure? Thanks, John Hinton

Sensors-applet-0.2.2
by Sam Drinkard 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

List, I grabbed the sensors-applet file, and assumed there would be some note about how to execute it or add it to the panel. Nada.. in the README, there is an indication of ./configure --prefix=/usr and that's it. From what I read on a web page about it, and the screenshots, there should be something to configure the values. Heck, I can't even find the file now that its installed.. how does one go about getting the applet up and running? This is the x86-64 version if that matters..... Thanks... -- Snowman

Re: [Off-list] Re: [CentOS] Updates not catching up ?
by mbneto 12 Oct '05

Hi Bryan, Thanks for the reply. That was my first post to the list and sorry if my next comments seem too hard but... My idea to move from fedora to centos was trying to get a stable distribution that I can afford with long term plans for support. Fedora works fine for me but it's focus on bleeding edge tends to leave "old" (1 year-old) releases without "strong" support. They have the legacy but even that stop a while. On the other hand wait a week for a security update come from rh to centos seems too much. Some may argue that I can always grab the src myself and compile/install but that is not the point here. Is there anything I can do to help ? On 10/12/05, Bryan J.

Re: [CentOS] Should I and can I upgrade GTK.+/PyGTK?
by Brian T. Brunner 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

More helpfully, the [B]leeding Edge stuff is what the Fedora Core are about. e.g. FC4 (now under distribution) stuff will arrive in or about RHEL5. Generally, if you don't see something in FC (current) you won't see it in RHEL (next) Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner(a)gai-tronics.com (610)796-5838 >>> mail-lists(a)karan.org 10/12/05 08:45AM >>> Dave Gutteridge wrote: > I downloaded the tar file and attempted to install it.

Looking for some recommendations for applications on CentOS (MP3, FTP)
by Dave Gutteridge 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Last time I asked for some recommendations on this list, I was told about some great software that I hadn't been able to find myself, so I'd like to ask again. I've been having a hard time finding software that satisfies in the following 2 areas: 1. MP3 player and play list manager. Something that can ideally generate smart playlists based on MP3 tags. (I've tried XMMS, Amarok, and Rhythmbox so far) 2. A GUI ftp application. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Dave
