dual head on laptop
by Jerry Geis 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

I am trying to use the system-config-display utility to setup a laptop for dual-heal. I want my LCD to be 1024x768 and external VGA to be 1366x768. I presume the LCD will go virtual or something to match the 1366x768 which is fine. When I am setting up the dual head and click OK nothing happens??? On the console I have something about secondVideoCardOptionMenu.get_menu().get_active().get_data("NAME") attribute error. There is no second video card in a laptop???? How do setup the VGA port to be different than the LCD? Thanks, jerry

New XFS Code for CentOS-4
by Johnny Hughes 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

All, I just submitting this information to the CentOS-Devel list. I want to also include it here in case there are people who want to use XFS on the standard CentOS kernel. DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO BE PRODUCTION GRADE :) ... it is a TESTING release (For those of you who are tracking beta code ... this is pre-beta, and use at your own risk) If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces because I don't want any of them. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2005-November/000926.html PS ... I won't listen to any complaints that this code broke anything ... please be forewarned. -------- Johnny Hughes

Re: [CentOS] GDM problem
by Jack Bailey 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Here's another data point regarding the GDM problem I'm having. Once again, I get this on the console: There was an error loading the theme Default Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/background.png' Yesterday I needed to edit some graphics I had done for a job. I use gimp. Now gimp tells me: Image type 'png' is not supported Soooo ... the problem appears to be with png support and not with GDM at all. Jim asked me to run "rpm -Vv gdm" which produced: [snip] prelink: /usr/bin/gdmXnestchooser: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/gdmXnestchooser prelink: /usr/bin/gdmchooser: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/gdmchooser prelink: /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver prelink: /usr/bin/gdmgreeter: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/gdmgreeter prelink: /usr/bin/gdmlogin: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/gdmlogin prelink: /usr/bin/gdmphotosetup: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/bin/gdmphotosetup [snip] prelink: /usr/sbin/gdmsetup: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking S.?..... /usr/sbin/gdmsetup [snip] This also points to something else.

Bonding in CentOS3 vs. CentOS4
by Robin Mordasiewicz 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

I am able to bring up a bonded NIC in Centos4 without requiring to bring up the bond0 with an ip address, but with CentOS-3 I must assign the NIC an address or eth0 and eth1 will not slave. I need to bring bond0 up without an ip address becuase I will be using tagged VLANs. ie. <snip /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0> DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=169.254.0.1 USERCTL=no </snip> I can later manually do something like the following from a post network script, but I am wondering why this is different in CentOS-4. ifconfig bond0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 if I change the ifcfg-bond0 to not have an ip address. ie. <snip /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0> DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes #IPADDR=169.254.0.1 USERCTL=no </snip> Then when I restart the network neither eth0 or eth1 are enslaved.

That way lies madness. No, where lies madness is in the self-centred way in which some people make demands of others to alter innocuous behaviour so that the data requirements of some MUA or other, that may or may not support generally accepted conventions , that may or may not be suitably configured, might be satisfied. I read mailing lists as digests. Message threading is of no use to me outside of threaded web archives, that I seldom use in such fashion. Neither is the subject content of much significance beyond keying me as to whether some section of a digest may be of particular interest. This is not to say that these features have no value, only that my circumstances realize little any from them. However, I have been taken to task nonetheless, because my personal preferences do not meet with the approval of some. It is this presumption that irritates me. I am not a member of this list simply to ease the administrative burdens that some people create for themselves. I seek information and informed opinion on technical issues related to the equipment I am responsible for and the vocation I profess, not quasi-religious debates on the morality of certain widely held but hardly universal conventions. I sometimes (rarely) am in the possession of a piece of information that may prove helpful to another, and so I offer on occasion. However, in the main this list is my way of reaching beyond my own ignorance. Usually I am in the position of supplicant and I have found the people on this list generally as helpful and usually as well informed as other lists that I frequent. But I am concerned about the general tenor of some of the discussions here and how these may lead to ill-feeling in some and a disinclination to actively participate in others. We are all infinitely ignorant, it is just that some of us possess a predisposition to stay within that which we find familiar and others find it easier to take adventures. Neither tendency is good or bad, they are just personal preferences. It would be more comfortable for the list membership, and improve the decorum of the messages considerably, if people from one camp or the other, and the many of us that straddle both albeit on different issues, displayed a willingness to accommodate the other side and recognize that there are many important reasons, not all of which we may agree with, why someone chooses to do things a certain way. Complaining about people's email habits, particularly in public, where the content is not the issue strikes me as pointless, self- indulgent in the extreme, and reflects most poorly on the personality of the complainant.

RHEL3 --> CentOS3 HP proliant 380
by Peter van Eck 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi, I've got a HP 380 G2 which is running RHEL AS 3 Taroon update 1. The current smp kernel 2.4.21-9smp is booting with a HPinitrd image. Mostlikely generated with the HP proliant Service Pack for RHEL 3. Now if I migrate this system to CentOS 3 and a new kernel will be installed ,will that work ? Does the new centOS kernel use the same config as the current RHEL kernel ? Anyone done this before ? I don't have access to the console so can't take too much risk here.. thanks, Peter

I tested first by booting to run level 3 running "915resolution 4b 1400 1050" and then started X. This worked so I just added the same command to rc.local. The desktop now boots by default to 1400x1050 in run level 5. My tests were on Siemens Fujitsu Laptop E8020D with Centos 3.6 and I had to replace XFree86 with the latest development version before using 915resolution as I could not get X to display anything other than a black screen, even with the vesa driver.

The Mersenne project has a TortureTest mode that has helped me find how far I can overclock CPU or RAM without running into errors. It runs massive calculations and compares the results with pre-known values. If this is run while a disk I/O and graphics test run, the collision problems between these memory users can be (hopefully) caught without regard to whether you overclock or not.

Smartctl & SATA
by Hoy, Mark 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

I've just installed my first system with a SATA drive and I've noticed that smartctl isn't supported under libata According to the smartmontools home page, SATA will require a patch that is still in development. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983#comment-126714 "The patch is still under development and it is probably best to make sure that the disk is idle before trying smartmontools." Isn't a glowing endorsement, besides the system only has 1 hard drive. Under CentOS 4.1 # rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.48 I also tried the CentOS 4.2 kernel (and kernel-utils) with similar results. # rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.9-22.EL kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.69 Thanks, Mark

Re: [CentOS] SELinux threads, cynicism, one-upmanship, etc.

Thanks, Mike. What I read is that SELinux is still 'beta', and while the need for good security is decades old, we (CentOS/RHEL folks) should not be presumed to be willing beta testers. "Enabled by default" presumes I'm willing.

Yes, but when the box gets cracked _because_ they are using the latest new thing their distribution added under the guise of increased security, as happened with ssh a while back, it also produces the attitude that new stuff should soak a long, long while in a distribution like fedora before going onto production boxes. You want to at least wait until the surprises stop - and I take the flurry of reports of broken apps at every update as an indication that they haven't stopped yet. Your analogy to a weapon was a good one. When the experts tuning the distribution still can't keep it from blowing up in peoples's faces some of the time, normal people should keep their distance. When the fedora and Centos lists go several months without a mysterious app failure caused by SELinux it will be time to reconsider. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Well, hughesjr, I'm using the *default* meaning of "default": You'll get SELinux "on" on install if you don't take action to select it off. Automagic partitioning is also default, you have to take action to get into DiskDruid.

I disagree ... to me enabled by default would be like the core and base default packages .... they are turned on, and one can not turn them off. They are enabled by default, whether you need them or not. SELinux would be enabled by default if it were turned on that way. ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

[OT] DNSguruz pl help: whois structure, delegation & handling delegation with Tinydns.
by Sanjay Arora 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

List: Sorry for posting to this list but could not find step by step instructions anywhere nor get any concerned list to respond. Newbie to DNS technicals but can work with instructions if given in ./configure for complete idiots ;-) 1. I have taken a static IP from my ISP 203.134.221.162 and the ISP has put up an entry in APNIC whois (please check the same)...to me it seems incomplete, as it does not give any contact information/tel/email for my organization NOR any abuse email Id etc. On asking, the ISP simply told me that nobody asks anything more in whois entry from them so I would have to tell what I want of them. Please advise what a standard whois reply should show for an organisation and pointers to a RFC which guides the structure & field names of a whois record. 2. Classless delegation...I want to setup my own primary DNS Server on my DSL with secondary slave DNS servers on the net with DNS services like zoneedit.com etc. Now, I want my ISP to delegate my IP so, I can change my IP reverse DNS etc...(whenever I want instead of waiting for my ISP which takes over a month & multiple contacts, letters & faxes). Please advise what the ISP requires to do and what I require to do & in what order. My ISP says that they will do whatever is possible but since they have never had a query for delegation for a single IP, so they are not sure. Does the TinyDNS server have to be prepared in advance of the APNIC delegation entry? Does the ISP have to create a account/ID with APNIC for me? Please advise the generalised procedure & the steps sequence wise to be taken to do this. DNS Guruz please help...am desperate. With regards. Sanjay.

how to get erratas's summary and URL with "check-update" ?
by Martin Hamant 21 Nov '05

Hello, running a "yum check-update" is cool to get a list of packages to update with versions. In addition of that, i'm looking for a way to get for each package, the link to the RH's errata and the severity status in the same report. My idea was to parse output of check-update, and join it with "centos-announce" mailing list subjects to get it. It's pretty twisted. RHN interface offer a similar report, but it's web based, authenticated, and co ... Is anyone has ever thought about it ? -- Martin

Highpoint Rocketraid 2240
by Chris Mauritz 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Has anyone on the list used one of these w/Linux? We currently use Linux + Cinelerra for editing uncompressed video (and a few dual G5 macs running Final Cut Pro). Current editing stations are getting a bit long in the tooth so I've been mulling over a mass upgrade. 8-) These cards are interesting to me because they are PCI-X and support 4 SATAII drives per multilane/infiniband connector for a total of 16 drives. Multilane is interesting to me because the editor can use a SFF system (tiny desktop footprint) with 1M multilane cables talking to the pile of disks in an external enclosure stashed out of the way with its own redundant power supply. I was going to just order some multilane 3Ware cards, but one of my more technically inclined video editors suggested this card. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,

iSCSI experiences
by Robin Mordasiewicz 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

I just tried an iSCSI connection to a NetAPP filer. I first tried using CentOS-4.2, but the iscsi initiator would not work. Using the command iscsi-ls would not show anything. Without spending too much time trying to figure out why, I tried from a CentOS-3 box. Connecting from the CentOS-3 box worked without a problem the first time. I will try further to get the CentOS-4 box to connect, but for starters the CentOS-3 box connection is stable and fast. I have also bonded two one gig NIC's on both the Filer, and the client, and have a separate iSCSI VLAN. I still have yet to do any benchmarking, but initially things seem ok.

Xhosts file

I posted a question a few days back to see if anyone could tell me where the default X0.hosts file should/does reside.

Setting a host access permission does not become permanent, and I'd really like to find out where the thing should be so I can solve that little irritant. Thanks.. -- Snowman
