libmpeg2-utils
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Trying to update a user's system, and yum gives up, because it wants to update libmpeg2, and there's a dependency - the currently installed version is required by libmpeg2-utils, and there seems to be no update to that. Anyone have an idea why this is the case? I really don't want to add another repo just for this workstation, when libmpeg2 does have an update in its current repos. mark

It pings fine (so I know that connections can be established over the physical wires) and on the IP address telnet answers. However, telnet to port 25 (smtp) with the domain name fails.

Why WOL? ( WAS: Re: Getting Wake on lan to work )
by Drew 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

On a semi-related subtopic, Why do I want WoL? What concrete examples are there where it's useful? I understand what it is and how it works but the "why" has eluded me. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood." --Marie Curie

chroot from 32-bit to 64-bit filesystem?
by Scott Johnson 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I have a 32-bit PXE environment and I want to chroot to a CentOS x64 root filesystem. Of course that doesn't work. Any tricks or hacks that would allow me to do that? Currently I get the error: chroot: /bin/bash: Exec format error What if I updated my PXE environment to 64-bit. Could I then chroot to a 32-bit? I use PXE to quickly troubleshoot both 32-bit and 64-bit arch. Thanks. -Scott

excel parser (preferably perl)?
by Les Mikesell 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

I'm getting tired of converting spreadsheets that someone else updates to csv so my perl scripts can push the data into a mysql database. Is there a better way? I haven't had much luck with perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel (and find it odd that yum prefers the .32 version from epel over .57 from rpmforge anyway). Is the current CPAN version better? Or the equivalent java tools? Or maybe a scripted OpenOffice conversion would be possible. Needs to deal with both xls and xlsx formats, the odd characters that are confused with quotes even after csv conversion, numbers with $'s and commas embedded, excel's date formatting nonsense, etc. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

pdflush kernel thread pops up every 10 seconds or so and video decoding grinds to a halt for 1/2 a second
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi. A friend of mine was doing real-time video decoding on Fedora Core 13 and he had a performance glitch (1/2 a second freeze) every 5-10 seconds. "top" showed flush-253:0 process at the moment of the freeze. Major device number 253 corresponds to device-mapper. I advised my friend to re-install his FC13 without LVM, to see if the glitch is related to LVM. After re-installing FC13 without LVM, he is seeing the glitch every 10 seconds, and it shows flush-8:16 where before it said flush-253:0. 8 is scsi disk driver. So it's not an LVM thing... maybe a kernel thing? I suggested he try Fedora 14 beta, as it has a newer kernel. Maybe this kernel thing is fixed in the newer kernel. He also tried CentOS 5.5, and saw a "pdflush" process popping up with the same frequency, and resulting in a similar glitch. Any other suggestions? Best, -at

Getting Wake on lan to work
by Peter Crighton 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

My system is: Intel CC820 motherboard (which supports PME# wake up for wake on LAN) 3com 3C905C which also supports wake on LAN via PME# Linux 5.5 The motherboard BIOS is later than one that reports an issue with WOL and this particular network card was fixed. But when I turn off the PC (shutdown or poweroff commands or front panel button), it cannot be restarted via WOL. The network light on the Ethernet card goes off so it looks like power is not being retained on the card. Although both the card and the motherboard have WOL headers my understanding is that these are not necessary if using PME# - is that correct? (I don't happen to have a WOL cable so can't just try one to confirm). How can I make Linux shutdown and leave the Ethernet power on? The common suggestion on the 'net is to remove the "-i" switch from the shutdown script, but it was not present to start with.
