software installation - good practice
by Carlos Santana 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

Howdy, I tend to try out many open source apps/packages - games, editors to media tools. I have a bad habit of downloading and extracting source in the /var/tmp directory and then doing configure-make-install process. I am not sure of best practice (good practices) to be followed when installing any software. For example how and where to keep the src. Any comments and/or resources would be really helpful. - Thanks, CS.

How well does CentOS 5.4 support Arabic language and I can writing Arabic script from a standard keyboard?
by Clint Dilks 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

Hello, I have just had a request from a user who wants to have Arabic Language Support and to be able write Arabic script from a US English. Is this fully supported in CentOS? The user is convinced that he needs a newer version on gnome based on this post http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/#rndevelopers.epiphany But I am going to try installing a system with Arabic Language Support and see how it goes. Would anyone using Arabic recommend using SCIM? Thanks for any advice you can offer

Serious Privileges Problem: Second Post!
by Victor Subervi 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

I have a serious privileges problem that is making it impossible to serve python pages on a CentOS server. I have tried to resolve this problem in my last post, but now it appears that interest has petered out. I'm desperate and hoping someone on this list can help. [Fri Nov 06 11:50:40 2009] [error] [client 66.248.168.98] (2)No such file or directory: exec of '/var/www/html/angrynates.com/global_solutions/index.py' failed, referer: http://angrynates.com/global_solutions/ [Fri Nov 06 11:50:40 2009] [error] [client 66.248.168.98] Premature end of script headers: index.py, referer: http://angrynates.com/global_solutions/ Now, the file does exist: [root@13gems global_solutions]# pwd /var/www/html/angrynates.com/global_solutions [root@13gems global_solutions]# ls .... -rwxr-xr-x 1 victor victor 275 Nov 6 07:05 index.py .... and it serves just fine on another server, so there is no "premature end of script headers". Here's where it gets really weird. If I copy the code for index.py and template.py which the former calls, and create files test.py and test2.py and paste the code from the former files in those new files changing only the import statement from "template" to "test2", the tests will resolve!! Now, the ownership and mode are identical on all of them!!

finding a memory leak - committed memory SPIKES!
by Alan McKay 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hey folks, I've got a RHEL 4.3 system (one of the few I have not yet converted to CentOS) that is running DB2 ... looks like 8.1 Just noticed that committed memory on my Munin graphs has been steadily climbing on a constant curve - yikes! There are 16G of physical ram and the commit is up to 80G now. Fortunately this is evidently not being accessed because I am not doing any swapping. I've been googling for over an hour now - found lots of interesting stuff to read up on, but not exactly what I'm looking for! How do I find the memory leak? What I"m really looking for is a list of who has all that committed memory assigned to them? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

CentOS lists now searchable via MarkMail.org
by Monte Milanuk 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hello, Just thought I'd drop a note here... a short while ago I was searching for some info on CentOS, and having been exposed to markmail.org via the R-project <www.r-project.org> <www.r-project.org>I went to markmail to do some digging. At that time, they didn't carry the CentOS lists yet, but after a simple request, now they do. The interface lends itself more to searching and drilling down after specific information than strictly browsing, but I thought others here might find it of use. Please pass it along if you find it of value. Here's the link: http://centos.markmail.org/search/ HTH, Monte

I have some prints stuck in my print queue from firefox. I can ping the printer (HP 7310 accessable over 9100). Windows systems can print. I just tried sending a print from OpenOffice Writer and Unable to Write Print Data: Broken Pipe I tried restarting CUPS, no change. What can I do? I don't think I should have to reboot.
