Ignoring DDC settings on Xorg
by first last 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

I am trying to set up a new 1400x900 widescreen monitor, but I just cannot get it to work correctly. The closest I get is 1400x900, which causes lots of vertical blur bands. I have tried with two different machines with i945 and ATi cards, running CentOS 4 and Ubuntu, always with the same result. My investigations indicate that the monitor reports itself to be "1440x900". It also supports 1600x1200 by squashing the pixels together, so it also advertises support for that resolution, which messes things up. According to the documentation I have seen online, disabling DDC (using NoDDC and DCC "off") and setting the correct modeline should work, but it always reverts to 1440x900 (if I am lucky). Any ideas on how to force it to the right resolution? It really is driving me nuts not being able to use the monitor to the native resolution.

If you use the vnc server built into X.org you have access even without a logged-in session and I find performance better than using Vino. I just recently set it up on a CentOS 4.4 workstation so I know it works with X.org in that version at least. The following page gives info on how to do it... http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_VNC_to_connect_to_existing_X_Sessions The important section is the following... File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Module" Load "vnc" Load "freetype" Load "type1" Section "Screen" #This tells X where to locate the VNC password file Option "PasswordFile" "/home/your_user_name/.vnc/passwd" Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/modules/extensions" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" Save your changes and close your editor. You will have to restart X (no need to reboot, just log out (end session in KDE), and hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE when the login window comes back up, then login). You also need to create your passwd file that you specified above. Code: ~/.vnc/passwd file $ mkdir ~/.vnc $ vncpasswd ~/.vnc/passwd Password: Verify: Regards, Paul

Problem with rpmbuild
by Todd Cary 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

I want to be able to recompile php, so I downloaded the src dvd and did a rpm -i php-4.3.9-3.15.src.rpm After doing that I wanted to check to see if I can recompile it before making changes. So, I went to the SPECS dir and did a rpmbuild -i php.spec It spent a lot of time doing the compile, but at the end there were errors. What am I missing?

dumb question: Need to update my GD to include freetype support on CentOS 4.4
by Dale 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

Hello, Sorry for what might be a dumb question. I have a CentOS 4.4 machine with GD installed. I tend to prefer doing things via RPM to allow for updating in a easier fashion. I have a php based app that requires Freetype support in GD. This is a live server with many websites on it (although none are using GD at the moment. I am not sure the best/easiest way to get GD updated such that it has Freetype support. I did not install X on this machine as it was not needed. Would installing X be one of the steps I need to take? Thanks for your suggestions. Dale

Switching from Vesa driver to video adapter driver fails
by Edward Diener 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

The Vesa driver works fine with CentOS 4.4. I have an NVidia 6200 video adapter. I go to Applications | System Settings | Display | Hardware tab and find my video adapter in the list and set it. The dialog tells me I have to log out for it to take effect, so I duly do that. I then getting a message from a non-graphics screen saying that the attempt to switch to the video adapter failed. When I view why, amidst all the information given is the messages: (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: No screens found I am able to switch back to the Vesa driver through the non-graphics screen, and this brings me back to my graphics login and I am once again successfully in CentOS 4.4 using the Vesa driver. Does anybody have any idea what the messages above mean or how I can correct it so it can successfully load my video adapter specific settings ? The NVidia 6200 is definitely on the Hardware tab menu, that is my video adapter, and I have the latest Xorg updates for CentOS 4.4.

nfsv4 in centos?
by R Lists06 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Greetings Some time ago I briefly played with NFS. More recently with Samba. What I am wondering is if NFSv4 is already integrated into Centos 4 from upstream. Reference: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6331/1/ if not, is there a timeline? Centos 5 ? and... is or can NFS be a compatible yet better replacement for Samba? thanks - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

NX problems with centos 4.4
by Joachim Backes 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi, using centos 4.4, and freenx-0.5.0-10.c4 and nx-1.5.0-1.centos4 on a 8 CPU Amd Opteron system. If I access this system by nxclient-1.5.0 from some workstation (FC6) with Gnome desktop, then after a successful login the X11 windows have no windowmanager frame, so a handling of the X11 windows is very difficult. This effect does not appear when acessing the centos system by xdm. Is this a known issue? All comments are appreciated.

CentOS Network Boot/Install Server for Solaris 10

10 Jan '07

Hello, Does anyone know of any links to using CentOS (or other Linux distros) as a network boot/install server for Solaris 10? I've been able to find such documents for Solaris 8 but the instructions are quite outdated since Solaris 10 uses very different configuration files, boot images and locations, etc. Justin

Using CentOS 4.4 on very old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop; would like suggestions regarding using KDE/GNOME in low RAM and low disk situation
by Kenneth Wolcott 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Hi; I'm new to the CentOS list and I only have experience with CentOS 4.3/4.4 on desktops. I just installed CentOS 4.4 on a very old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop. I choose the desktop option and then deleted the kde and gnome packages because I have only 192mb RAM and 4gb disk (total). I'd like suggestions on how to maximize the effective usage of the laptop with CentOS 4.4...as a minimum I want to do secure wireless web browsing. If KDE or GNOME needs more disk/RAM than I have available is XCFE the only alternative to the bleak Motif experience? I don't have any money to get a better laptop or to upgrade the RAM and/or disk at this time. Thanks, Ken Wolcott

FOSDEM Request For Proposal
by Dag Wieers 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Hi, For those attending FOSDEM either as volunteer or as a participant, we are looking for interesting presentations about CentOS. If you're interested for one or more topics, please contact me. The deadline for the proposal is Tuesday 23 january 2007. In our developers room (that we share with Fedora) we have about 6 slots of 50mins available that we can divide in 12 slots of 20mins if necessary. More information is available in the wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Fosdem2007 We organise a pre-FOSDEM meeting on friday with CentOS and Fedora people in Brussels, more info about that at: http://wiki.centos.org/Events/PreFosdem2007 Below is more information about the deadline for the FOSDEM organisation as well as the insurance rules for those that bring hardware for the booth or for the devroom. Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pascal Bleser <loki(a)fosdem.org> To: fhornain(a)axen.info, dag(a)wieers.com, chitlesh(a)fedoraproject.org Organization: FOSDEM Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2007 03:33:34 +0100 User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 (X11/20060911) Subject: [FOSDEM Devrooms] Hardware insurance + Schedule deadline X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.4 required=3.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00, FORGED_RCVD_HELO autolearn=unavailable version=3.1.7 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 First of all, wishing you a happy new year to you, your family and friends ;) Hardware Insurance ================== As we did at past editions of FOSDEM, we again provide an insurance for the hardware you'll bring along. That insurance - - is free of charge for you - - is intended for speakers in your devroom (we can't pay the insurance for the 4000+ visitors ;)) What we need from you is, for each device: - - the name and email address of the owner - - the type of device (notebook, network switch, PDA, ...) - - the vendor and name of the device (e.g. Dell Latitude D800) - - some sort of unique identifier that is visible on the device (typically the serial number) - - an estimation of its current value, in EUR Note that our insurance will only cover the hardware for which we've received the information as above *before Mon 19 Feb*. Schedule deadline ================= The deadline for sending us your devroom schedule is *Sat 3rd February* That gives us a week to hack all the data into our CMS and possibly make some adjustments afterwards. Please understand that we have to encode all the data and that we'd like to have all the information available on the website for visitors 2-3 weeks before the event. Note that if you already have part of the schedule, you can already send us that information (so we can start adding the content now ;)), even if you don't know yet at what time the talk will take place. Please submit it to me (loki(a)fosdem.org) before Sat 3rd February by email, as plain text. The better structured, the easier it will be for us to encode the data ;) For each talk/activity in your devroom, we need the following information: * TALK: - - at what time the talk starts and when it ends (or the duration) - - the title of the talk/activity - - an abstract (1-2 lines that shortly explain the topic) - - a somewhat longer description (as long as you wish) - - optional: some HTTP links (related links, project website, blog, ...) * SPEAKER(S) (obviously, for each speaker): - - the full name of the speaker(s) - - if possible and if the speakers don't mind, also send us their email address (it will _not_ be disclosed and only _possibly_ used by us, e.g. to ask for the slides or such) - - an abstract for the speaker (e.g. "Homer Simpson is the lead developer on the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant project and contributes to a few other FOSS projects such as Futurama and Southpark") - - a somewhat longer bio of the speaker - - optional: a photo or a link to a photo - - optional: some HTTP links (website, blog, ...) As said, please submit it as plain text. Please send us the speaker abstract + bio in the 3rd form, e.g. "Homer Simpson is the lead developer..." instead of "I'm the lead developer...". Reference embedded URLs in abstracts and descriptions using the following form: "Homer Simpson is the lead developer on the [http://simpsons.name/springfield/ Springfield town] project."

Default gateway set incorrectly
by Theo Band [Xanadu Wireless] 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

I try to setup networking with a fresh CENTOS4.4 installation. Upto now I have 20 installations, most of them FC3/FC4 and RHEL3. I noticed that the default gateway is not setup properly when using Centos. [root@raaf ~]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.101.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default 192.168.101.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1 Networking is setup done by using dhcp, and this seems to work OK. Problem is however that the gateway should be 192.168.101.2 and not 192.168.101.1 (does not exist). If I manually add the gateway, networking is OK: route add default gw 192.168.101.2 eth1 [root@raaf ~]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.101.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default scholekster 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 default 192.168.101.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1 (scholekster=192.168.101.2) If I issue "service restart network". The added gateway is removed again. I understand that I can fix this default gateway, but that is not what I want. I also tried to manually start dhclient: [root@raaf ~]# dhclient eth1 .... Listening on LPF/eth1/00:15:f2:******** Sending on LPF/eth1/00:15:f2:******** Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.101.2 bound to 192.168.101.221 -- renewal in 294560 seconds. But now my default gateway is added correctly! So is dhclient not used by the networking scripts?? Anyone got an idea of how I could debug this further? The reason I use eth1, is that the machine has two interfaces and is dual bootable. The FC4 installation seems to have a different idea of which adapter should be eth0... Thanks, Theo PS.

What command line command is available to broadcast a UDP packet on port 36? I can use a command like "nc -u -l -p 36" to listen to the responses but I can't figure out how to send out the broadcast packet for the devices to say "I'm here" back to me. THanks, Jerry

5-beta or 4.4 for a new user?
by Patrick Useldinger 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hello, I am a Slackware user who's interested in learning CentOS. At this point it is for intellectual curiosity only and not for any real work so the machine need not be 100% stable at this point. It's most probably going to be an installation into VMWare. Given that, I thought I'd wait for 5-beta (mid-Jan'07) and start with that. Will it be possible to upgrade from 5-beta to 5.0? Or would you advise me to start with 4.4? Regards, Patrick

Updating PHP
by Todd Cary 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

My version of Centos (4.4) comes with php 4.3.9. Since I run Interbase on the server, I need to recompile the php with Interbase. The only php I have found is 4.4 which I have downloaded and untarred as well as configuring it with Interbase, doing the make and make install. Where I am lost is on having Apache (httpd) use it rather than the 4.3.9 ( http://209.204.172.137:82/testphp.php ). When I do the make install, where does it go? Many thanks for any help you can offer.... Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Greetings, A friend of mine is running 3.3 He asked what I thought about going to 4.4 I imagine it is best to backup and fresh install and migrate old configs and data What is the wisdom on the list I remember going from beta 3 to 3 a long time ago. Anyone ever upgrade from 3.x to 4.x without problem and how so? I didn't see a lot on the www other than some apt-get info Thanks in advance - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

However, the technical reference for the D945GTP motherboard clearly states, on page 61 of D1407001US-1.pdf, topic 2.8.2.2 "Add-in Card Connectors", (quoted): "NOTE: The PCI Express x16 connector is configured to support only a PCI Express x1 link when the Intel GMA950 graphics controller is enabled." Who me, accuse Intel of artificially crippling their desktop motherboard performance to boost "$erver" motherboard $ale$? I wouldn't do that. For this application, PCIe x1 performance will probably be enough, but anyone thinking about using intel x16 slots for anything except video may want to take note. I'm just glad Intel is reserving the PCIe x16 performance for the screaming GMA950 on-board video. Bad Intel. No biscuit. Now checking into other vendors, Dave Thompson UW-Madison

Yum question - RHEL4
by Tom Brown 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi this is technically a RHEL4 question but i hope it can be answered here... Does RHEL4 do yum OK ? I kix a lot of boxes and it would be great to run the update after the build automajically rather than running through the up2date registration and using that method. I would also rather not pay lots for satellite server. If i setup my own RHEL repo can i use yum against this? Or any other thoughts/options ? thanks

Problen with vsftpd and chroot
by Tony Molloy 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

I'm setting up a local mirror server on a CentOS4 box. I want it to serve files over http, nfs and ftp. I've set this up with the mirrored directories on a separate partition. I've got the http and nfs working but am having some trouble with ftp. I'm using vsftpd as the ftp server. I can log in to the ftp server and get to the pub (/var/ftp/pub) directory. However when I try and go to the mirrored directories below this I get a "can't change directory error. The mirrored directories is a symbolic link to the actual directories on the separate partition. So my question is is vsftpd chrooted to the /var/ftp directory by default and won't follow symbolic links and if so is there any way to change this behaviour. I can change the mount points if I need to but I was just wondering. Thanks, Tony -- Tony Molloy. System Manager. Dept. of Comp. Sci. University of Limerick

Setting up rsync
by Todd Cary 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

About a year and a half ago, someone answered a request on how to set up rsync so that the encryption was automatically setup (wish I knew more about the technical aspects). It has been in use for the time since then and it has been great. Now I have to replace the destination computer and setting up, what I call the encryption part, is the part I have forgotten how to do. This is the command line: /usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/ Is there anyone who can translate what I am trying to do?

Desktop link for NTFS .htm file type asks for run or display in CentOS 4.4
by Edward Diener 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I created a desktop launcher whose type was a link and pointed to an NTFS file on a read-only ( ro ) partition. When I open the launcher it always asks me whether I want to display or run the file. Of course I want display it and when I click on that button it displays it in my browser, Firefox, correctly. It is neverthless onerous to constantly be asked and have to then click the correct display button rather than Gnome knowing to display it automatically. This appears to be happening because the file on the NTFS has an executable permission set to it because the umask I used in /etc/fstab for the partition was 0222. However when I tried changing the umask to 0333, in order to only have the read bit turned on, after rebooting an attempt to open the file from the launcher fails completely since nothing happens. Is there a solution to this problem, or is this just the way Gnome works in regard to its launchers ?

UPS support on CentOS 4.4
by Edward Diener 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I have an APC Back-UPS XS1500 powering my computer. It may be overkill for a single computer but it makes me feel secure. Gnome power management will not install on CentOS 4.4 because of dependency problems. I have installed the acpupsd daemon and this will protect me against power failure but the GUI interface to it, gapcmon, will not install due to dependency problems. I know that some will not consider a GUI interface important but I like to see what is happening if and when my A/C power gets disconnected and my computer is running on UPS battery power, and I like to be informed of this when I am online. Without gapcmon, or trying to hack my own program, this is not possible with CentOS 4.4, although as I said the apcupsd daemon will automatically and gracefully shut me down if my A/C power goes off and my UPS gets close to running out of backup battery power.. I realize that CentOS 4.4 is based on reliability, and not the latest and greatest software out there, but I am wondering what total UPS solution actually exists for it, or for RHEL4 which customers of the latter have used. I can live with apcupsd, and I realize that with an upcoming CentOS 5 there will probably be better compatibility, but I was wondering if there is any other total solution for the time being which anyone else has used. Thanks !
