Directory Server vs just plain old LDAP server
by aurfalien 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Hi all, I'm migrating from my Cent 5.x LDAP server to Cent 6.x. But wondering if there are any advantages to the Directory Server package itself? Been using regular old LDAP server for years now. I manage it both via Webmin and command line as well as some tweaks to a Drupal module. The fail over has always sort of bothered me as the secondary LDAP servers pull vs being pushed to, at least that was the case in Centos 5.x At any rate, your opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, - aurf

4 monitors with one graphics card and standard driver
by Dale Dellutri 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I've just test an ATI FirePro 2460 graphics card on CentOS 6.4. It connects 4 monitors. It worked with the standard radeon driver. I was able to arrange the monitors into my preferred configuration (as a square array, 1 upper left, 2 lower left, 3 lower right, 4 upper right) simply by clicking System -> Preferences -> Display, and then moving the four monitor images. This creates the file ~/.config/monitors.xml . Moving windows among the monitors worked smoothly. I did not install the proprietary ATI driver; I don't need any of its features beyond what the standard driver provides. Some details: Dell Optiplex 9010, Small Form Factor (SFF) case requires SFF cards. CentOS 6.4 fully updated as of today. 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 kernel xorg-x11-drv-ati 6.99.99 1.el6 x86_64 BIOS shows the board in slot 1 (the blue connector) as "VGA Compatible" lspci shows 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cedar [FirePro 2460] Kernel driver in use: radeon No xorg.conf was created or required. 4 Dell 2007FP monitors, each at 1600x1200 connected via DVI. I used to use Matrox M9140 cards, but that requires the Matrox proprietary driver which has not been updated for CentOS 6.4 as of today. I also tested two other cards: ATI FirePro 2450 and NVidia Quadro NVS 420. For each of these cards, the BIOS shows the card in slot 1 as a PCI Bridge. lspci reports two identical video cards at 03:00.0 and 04:00.0. Though it's easy to set up two screens properly, xinerama would probably be required in an xorg.conf to get all four screens working properly. -- Dale Dellutri

[centos-6.3-desktop] Unable to login
by Mayur Patil 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hello, I have trapped in weird problem. My Setup is CentOS 6.3 Desktop edition x86_64 arch. My login screen is blinking so frequently that I am unable to see and login into it. And also I am unable to reinstall the OS because it will take very long time re-setup everything as per my configuration as well as Data. The problem is as follows: I have several months ago libgcc-4.4.6.i686. Today for installing rsyslog, I updated the package libgcc-4.4.7.i686 and libgcc-4.4.7.x86_64. Then thinking about chances of conflict, I removed libgcc-4.4.7.i686 it has also removed the cups-libs gmp gnutils gtk2 libstdc++ libtiff peazip all are i686 type. Then I installed same packages for 64 bit through yum install <above packages> Message also said successfully installed. Then I try to open another terminal window but it was suddenly closing so I thought restart might solve this problem; so I restart the computer. I am getting normal CentOS login backgroud but getting faster blinking screen. How should I solve this problem (except formatting the CentOS) as CentOS is the only OS on that machine. 1. How to login into CentOS now?? 2. Which package should I need to install and how ?? Kindly do the needful, Thank you !! *-- Cheers, Mayur. *

Hi all, anyone know when lxde will be available for centos? Fedora lxde was nice but its end of life is far to short for a server. Thanks Gary.

DIMM problem
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hey, folks, I've got an HP Proliant DL580 G5 throwing ECC errors. This is annoying, since a) it's all new as of a few months ago, and b) it's *fully* populated. The two things I need to figure out are a) *which* DIMM it is, and b) is it mirrored; if so, which *other* DIMM needs to come out until we get replacements from the OEM. Here's one of many, all identical, from dmesg: EDAC MC0: CE row 12, channel 1, label "": Corrected error (Branch=0, Channel 1), DRAM-Bank=2 RD RAS=8218 CAS=500, CE Err=0x10000, Syndrome=0x6cad8e02(Correctable Patrol Data ECC)) I see the Bank=2, so I assume that's the first riser board on the left; but I can't identify which of the four (?) DIMMs on it is the problem. I've been googling, and skimming useless manuals, and have just been trying to look under /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/. I see ce_count there showing thousands; but all of the ce_count files under csrow[0-7] show zero. Clues, anyone? mark
