Hey It seams like loads of people have their own personal CentOS IRC logs, but is there a website where I can look at them? Cheers Didi -- Hoffmann Geerd-Dietger http://contact.ribalba.de

Automounter problem in C5.5?
by Mark 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Last night I was having some bizarre problems with my USB ports. I couldn't access one of my scanners, and when I started moving plugs around, it seemed as though I lost more peripherals. For some reason, I did NOT lose the laser printer, but my one scanner and my scan/fax/printer disappeared and wouldn't come back. I figured it might be the automounter, so I tried plugging in a USB flash drive, and it did not get mounted either. I rebooted and the problem disappeared (duh). Questions: 1) I'm suspected this was an automounter failure - is that the most likely culprit? 2) How do I restart the automounter when it dies, or can I? I've hit this issue before once or twice and only rebooting seems to make it right again. Thanks. Mark

Stuttering sound
by Eduardo Grosclaude 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Dear List, After some googling around without any results, I'm quite puzzled. Since some past update I can't precise, kernel 2.6.164 works fine, however 2.6.194 has some sound problem in my somewhat old and beaten Toshiba laptop. -Audacious plays OK but other applications have problems. -For instance, mplayer acts quirky: when I pause a playing video, sound keeps stuttering endlessly. The same happens sometimes when I close mplayer window. -system-config-soundcard detects the card and starts to play sample but stuttering all the way, repeating every 4th of a second or so some 16 times, at about a 1/2 second rate. -Youtube has no sound! -Software volume control has been lost long ago, unrelated to this problem but interested in recovery anyway System is fully up to date. Any hints will be appreciated! Some relevant lines in my /etc/modprobe.conf as is now, with some scars left after unfruitful battles: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel #options snd-card-0 index=0 #options snd-hda-intel index=0 remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=auto options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 options snd cards_limit=8 getinfo.sh output: == BEGIN uname -rmi == 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 i686 i386 == END uname -rmi == == BEGIN rpm -q centos-release == centos-release-5-5.el5.centos == END rpm -q centos-release == == BEGIN getenforce == Disabled == END getenforce == == BEGIN rpm -qa kernel\* | sort == kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 == END rpm -qa kernel\* | sort == == BEGIN lspci == 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Proces sor to DRAM Controller (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM Express PCI Express Root P ort (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Ex press Port 1 (rev 04) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Ex press Port 2 (rev 04) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) US B UHCI #1 (rev 04) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) US B UHCI #2 (rev 04) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) US B UHCI #3 (rev 04) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) US B UHCI #4 (rev 04) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) US B2 EHCI Controller (rev 04) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev d4) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 04) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 0 4) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M24 [Radeon Mobility X60 0] 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Et hernet Controller (rev 10) 06:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Ne twork Connection (rev 05) 06:06.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller 06:06.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCIxx12 OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller 06:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) 06:06.3 SD Host controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller == END lspci == == BEGIN lspci -n == 00:00.0 0600: 8086:2590 (rev 03) 00:01.0 0604: 8086:2591 (rev 03) 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:2668 (rev 04) 00:1c.0 0604: 8086:2660 (rev 04) 00:1c.1 0604: 8086:2662 (rev 04) 00:1d.0 0c03: 8086:2658 (rev 04) 00:1d.1 0c03: 8086:2659 (rev 04) 00:1d.2 0c03: 8086:265a (rev 04) 00:1d.3 0c03: 8086:265b (rev 04) 00:1d.7 0c03: 8086:265c (rev 04) 00:1e.0 0604: 8086:2448 (rev d4) 00:1f.0 0601: 8086:2641 (rev 04) 00:1f.2 0101: 8086:2653 (rev 04) 01:00.0 0300: 1002:5462 02:00.0 0200: 11ab:4351 (rev 10) 06:04.0 0280: 8086:4220 (rev 05) 06:06.0 0607: 104c:8039 06:06.1 0c00: 104c:803a 06:06.2 0180: 104c:803b 06:06.3 0805: 104c:803c == END lspci -n == -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

Xen machines fail to reboot
by Gabriel Ogunleye 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Whenever I ask a xen machine on my centos boxes to reboot, they always just shutdown. I control the machines via virtual machine manager, and connect to them using an ssh tunnel, for example, ssh -X user@host and then run virt-manager . This surprises me, because it's only on my centos boxes this happens. How can I find out of this is already a known issue?

OT: Package to truncate .mp3 file
by Lanny Marcus 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

I have a 2.9 MB MP3 file. Would like to use about the first 10%, to embed sound on a web page. The Packages I have in Applications > Sound & Video don't seem to be able to edit the file like that. Is there a Package I can get from a Yum Repository that will do that? Using CentOS 5.5 (32 bit). TIA!

finding out the time of the second-to-last reboot
by Boris Epstein 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hello all, I've got a CentOS box that became non-responsive today for some obscure reason and had to be rebooted. Is there a way to find out when it last had to be rebooted before today? uptime gives you no history past the very last reboot, so obviously I need to find some other way to get an answer to my question. Thanks for any and all tips. Boris.
