Mic not working with skype
by Andrew 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

I've just installed a beta version of skype in CentOS 5.3 and everything seems fine - the mic is working OK as I can hear it through the speakers (feedback). Problem is I can't get the mic to actually work with skype (eg with skype call testing service) - it may be that one of the many settings is incorrect - has anybody else had this problem and got any suggestions please?

CentOS 5.4 x86_64 only detects 32GB RAM while Fedora x86_64 correctly lists 128GB
by Diederick Stoffers 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi, We have a new 24-core Dell PowerEdge R905 server with 128GB's RAM. The 64 bits version of Fedora 12 lists the correct amount of 128GB, CentOS only finds 32GB (and so does Scientific Linux). I would much prefer to use CentOS (most of the software we use is specifically designed for CentOS). Does anyone know what is causing this/how to fix it? Many Thanks, Diederick

Xorg goes bonkers, bazillion NVIDIA errors...
by fred smith 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

on one of my Centos 5.4 boxes, a machine that's around 5 years old and has always run Centos and X, and has had the same Nvidia card in it for its entire life, I'm suddenly getting these lines in the xorg log file: (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x00000000, 0x000003c0) (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate clip rectangle (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** followed by millions more like them. it's currently sitting mostly unused, except that it's running a Folding At Home client. it'll run for a day or a week then I'll note the screen is in powersave mode, will attempt to wake it up by moving the mouse or touching a key and nothing happens. (for purposes of this testing I've disabled the screensaver, so the screen should never shut off.) I can SOMETIMES ssh into it, if it hasn't completely died yet, and if I can, top shows that Xorg is consuming about 99% of the CPU instead of the folding at home client which should be consuming most of it. I guess it's busy spewing errors to the Xorg log file, or something. The last time I found it like this I tried to kill xorg. kill -15 wouldn't kill it so I tried kill -9, then the whole box seized up, requiring a reset. sometimes it's already unresponsive, even to ssh or ping, by the time I notice the problem. it's running an old Nvidia Geforce 4 MX400 card and the Nvidia proprietary driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run, downloaded directly from the nvidia web site. the date on that file is Oct 2007, so that means that's the one that it has been using since then. but it's only the last 6 weeks or so it's started doing this. other than some vaguely-defined "nvidia driver problems", what may be going on here? (I can buy an nvidia conflict with the stock centos kernel, but I'd be dubious, since it's been running this driver for two years and earlier versions for 4 or 5. any such conflict would seem likely a kernel issue, to me, since it's newly exhibited.)

firefox-3.0.15 on CentOS 4
by Agile Aspect 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi - I updated firefox-3.0.5 from firefox-3.0.15on CentOS 4 this weekend and now I can't start it because it has the wrong version of NSS and I can't update NSS to the correct version. Does anyone know where I can find the RPM for CentOS 4 version of firefox-3.0.5? Or how I can tell yum to install version firefox-3.0.5 instead of firefox-3.0.15? Thank you. -- Enjoy global warming while it lasts.

how to do startup scripts?
by Roland Roland 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hello, I've just finished installing Atlassian's bamboo it comes with two ways to start it up one through a bash shell script bamboo.sh and another through java script (this one is better as it has the ability to start up the service if it got shutdown for any reason) so I'm wondering how can I set this service to start on boot.. I know how to set a script on login in my profile though not on boot.. any suggestion? I've looked around about none interactive shells and so on.. so if I did a symbolic link from bamboo.sh script to /etc/init.d would that work? what about variables inside the script would they b read ? obviously a newbie here so appreciate any detailed explanation if possible about interactive/ none interactive shells and of course if theres an advice about how to solve this issue.. PS: trying to educate myself about linux along the way so any explanation would be greatly appreciated...

lvm monitoring
by Karanbir Singh 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi, At the moment, I am monitoring my lvm resources on a machine with the usual 'pvs;vgs;lvs' output and comparing with whatever is a known good state. But this has a few problems: 1- I need to setup a known good state per machine, which can look quite different from each other : specially when machines are getting dynamic vm builds and teardowns dozens of times per day, or when disk resource allocations are spread over more than one machine. 2- Its hard to work out what is really going on with bits that are not mounted ( like snapshots ). 3- its hard to tie down to physical media ( I screen scrape at the moment, which is dirty and exceptionally prone to nose! ) I am sure there are plenty of people who are monitoring lvm setups on their machines, just wondering what it is that you guys are doing. - KB

Re: [CentOS] Is ext4 safe for a production server?
by Brent L. Bates 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

I guess I forgot to include that some of those Linux systems I've used XFS on were 32 bit OS installs. However, lvm was not used on them, md & NFS were, but not lvm.
