OT: .doc,.xls,.pdf,.ppt (etc.) string parser/indexers
by Les Mikesell 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Does anyone have experience with linux tools to parse the text from common non-text file formats for searching? I'm trying to use the kinosearch add-on for twiki which is fine as far as the search goes, but it takes forever to generate the index. It uses xpdf to extract strings from pdf's, antiword for .doc, and since it is perl, the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module for .xls. Some documents parse/index quickly, some extremely slowly, and in the .xls case some seem to hang forever. I think the real issue is when the parsers (correctly or incorrectly) detect a wide character set and the indexer is confused when trying to re-encode it. What is the best approach to debug something that might be in the perl character set handlers? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Ifolder server on rel5?
by Dave 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello, I've been asked to look in to deploying an ifolder server on Centos 5.x. The individual would like a clean system, so that means rpms using or making. I am concerned about this the latst time i tried it i was unable to get it working and the docs and site links were extremely unreliable. The guy wants central file storage, web interface for management, and synchronization on upload plus encryption. I note that ifolder 3.7.2 does encryption, but i'd like feedback if anyone is using this or alternatives before i say one way or the other. Thanks. Dave.

Has anyone been able to get the scroll wheel to work? Most of the other functions are fine, however "xev" does not show any events when the scroll wheel or the fourth button is pushed. Other than that it is a nice mouse but I would like the scroll wheel to work.

by Morrien, Rob 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello. I build a local centos repo server, I am able to deploy systems from this centos repo server and I have also updated the etc/yum.repos.d directory The base and update files are changed to the new repo server ip adress. I am able to do yum clean all and yum update to my new installed client deployed servers from my new local repo server My local deployed servers build from this local reposerver are updated correctly. If I have a pc running with centos which I updated from centos 5.2 to 5.3 with yum update some weeks ago, and I use the same repo config files from the local deployed repo server . But I get now evrytime an url error. And the error is telling me that the url can't be found. If I copy the url' into a' browser I get the correct file. It looks like to me' that all centos machines which are upgrade from 5.2' to 5.3 have the same problem. Initial build machines with 5.3 don't have this problem. Who can help me Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards, Rob Morrien EDS, an HP company ABN AMRO account IE NL Gondel 1 1186 MJ Amstelveen The Netherlands Tel: +31 887 503052 Mobile: +31 6 51300616 E-mail: rob.morrien(a)eds.com -->>> ( On Friday i am not in the office ) <<< ----- We deliver on our commitments so you can deliver on yours

log rotation not writing to new logs
by Dave 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello, I've got a centos 5.3 machine that is running services http and ftp whih are the two services i've noticed this on. When log rotation happens the old logs are renamed and compressed, but new logs httpd and pure-ftpd have zero lengths. From that poing log writing is not working. I've tried shutting down rsyslog and both httpd and pure-ftpd and restarting them, this is not working. I am open to suggestions. Thanks. Dave.

gcc: fork: can not allocate memory
by Dave 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello, The above is on a CentOS 5.3 machine, a vps actually. I started seeing it a few weeks ago when i was trying to get an ssh-key program called keychain going. It required an entry in ~/.bash_profile after that i started seeing the above error and compiles kept failing or tasks wouldn't complete. I commented out the lines that started keychain, and for measure rebooted the box. For the second time in the past 24 hours i'm seeing this error again. I've never seen it before and am open to suggestions. Thanks a lot. Dave.

centos 5.3 with dkms-nvidia-x11-drv and gnome power manager sleep
by Ryan Pugatch 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

Hi all, On my ThinkPad T61, I am trying to get gnome power manager's sleep function to work properly. When I bring my machine back up after sleep, I end up with just a black screen and nothing responding.. no capslock light when I hit capslock for example. I am running the latest nvidia driver from rpmforge (I'm suspecting the nvidia driver isn't playing nice). With Ubuntu I had to make a change in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-el5-lenovo.fdi to get it to work. This, unfortunately, didn't help in CentOS. 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' seems to work properly - the machine actually comes back up. Whatever method G-P-M is using is not. Can I make G-P-M use that command to suspend? Or any ideas on how to make G-P-M's method work? Thanks, Ryan
