format level 3 prompt
by Mike - email ignored 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

How do I format the prompt at level 3? One of my accounts has it right, but not the other. I guessed that it was in .tcshrc which was missing from the bad account so I copied it from the good account, but it made no difference. Thanks, Mike.

Workaround for RH #502499?
by Chris Boyd 18 Nov '09

I have a workstation with a Gigbyte board and an Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02) that's apparently getting bitten by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502499 It's running CentOS 5.4 32 bit, and the user is suffering from high load and sluggish response whenever a disk write of more than a few MB is made. iostat shows the disk at 100%.

version pinning with yum
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Well, there's a bug in the globbing for the tcsh with 5.4, and my boss has filed a bug report. Meanwhile, I downgraded tcsh on those systems whose users use that as their shell. Until it's resolved, he wants me to pin the version. Googling, I see someone a few years ago, answering someone's question, suggested adding exclude=openoffice* near the top of /etc/yum.conf. I also see, more recently, several additional yum-related rpms, such as yum-versionlock. Will the first solution work (editing yum.conf), and, if so, for tcsh, would I need the asterisk, or would exclude=tcsh work? Alternatively, is that deprecated, and if so, which additional yum-related package is recommended for this? mark

OT: Using rdesktop as terminal client to Windows 2008 R2
by carlopmart 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hi all, I am using rdesktop as a terminal client to connect to Windows Terminal Server over years without problems until now. I have a problems with five Windows 2008 R2 servers: point cursor turns black when I connect to them. But this problem disappears if I turn on windows 7 theme on these servers, but performance it is very very bad. This problem only appears with windows 2008 R2 and not on Windows 2008 SP2 or Windows 2003 R2 servers. I have tried to add: Option "SWcursor" "true" (nvidia graphics card using native nvidia drivers), on my xorg.conf without luck. My laptop is centOS 5.4 fully updated with rdesktop-1.6.0-3. Any ideas?? Thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Removing respawning process from inittab w/o killing it
by Timo Schoeler 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I need to remove an entry of inittab which is used to (re)spawn a process: mydemon:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mydemon >/dev/null 2>&1 So, I would comment out that entry and reload init running ``telinit q''. IIRC, this would lead to the currently running daemon being killed. I don't want to /try/ whether I'm right, as those are production systems. Is there any possibility (given that ``telinit q'' kills the running process) to 'keep the process alive' _and_ reload init? Thanks, Timo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with CentOS - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLA8Syfg746kcGBOwRAjy1AKCPvwHnMVUwDN+6WDPjHebth7q1owCfUsp5 c7KoNas8jThxoP72c3JzK7Q= =yWef -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
