svnsync not using config dir
by Neil Aggarwal 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hello: I tried posting this to the subversion mailing list, but that does not seem to be taking the post so I am hoping this list can help. I am using svnsync installed using yum on my CentOS 5 server. I am trying to tell the sync command to save the certificates and credentials in a directory, but it does not seem to be doing so. I created a directory /usr/local/svn/MyProject.config To run the sync, I used this command: /usr/bin/svnsync sync https://svn2.jammconsulting.com/svn/MyProject --config-dir /usr/local/svn/MyProject.config --username svnsync When I issue the command, it asks me to accept the certificate. I told it to accept permanently and gave the svnsync password when prompted. But, nothing was saved in the config directory and when I issue the command again, it still asks me to accept the certificate and the password for the svnsync user account. Any ideas why this is not working? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox. Visit http://www.spammilter.com for details.

{SOLVED} Re: OT: Photo Editor to reduce 272 photos to VGA at once

I have Picasa, gThumb (not really an > Editor but I believe it can reduce the quality of photos) and The GIMP <snip. I used Google's Picasa last night, to put the photos on picasaweb.google.com as was suggested. The recommended upload size is 1600 pixels. The original files totaled 419.9 MB and the uploaded files 99 MB. The version of Picasa I have on Linux is 2.7 and I did not see the "Upload" button, so I copied the folder to the NTFS partition and used Picasa 3 on M$ Windows. I need to see if there is a newer version of Picasa for Linux..... I wrote to the Webmaster and the Singer who has the Blog, that if they need me to send any of the photos to them in email, for better quality, I will, but in general, as everyone here mentioned, this eliminated a lot of Bandwidth and the photos are online, for all of the Forum members and for the Artist and his staff. Thanks to everyone, for their ideas about ImageMagick and about posting online!

is it possible to resive a PV in LVM and add more LV's ?
by Rudi Ahlers 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi all I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw.

Does anybody have a good method for disabling SA checks on outbound email under sendmail running the spamass milter? Some of our Vhost accounts are getting flagged as spam on the way out due to being on a dirty ISP network. John Hinton

alsamixer and multiple audio cards
by Marko Vojinovic 11 May '09

11 May '09

When I run kmix, there is a drop-down box in the upper right corner that lets me choose the audio device that kmix will be adjusting. If, however, I try to use alsamixer instead of kmix, there is only one (default) device that I can adjust. How can I tell to alsamixer that I want to adjust the volume of another card? And yes, this is related to my system-config-soundcard question... :-) Best, :-) Marko

Questions wrt system-config-soundcard
by Marko Vojinovic 11 May '09

11 May '09

1) What exactly happens when I press the "reload audio drivers" button? I want a command-line analogue, so that I can do it remotely, via ssh (and no X forwarding). 2) How to manually set the order of sound cards and the default one, again using only command line, as I would do in the GUI of system-config-soundcard? 3) Why don't the settings made there stick? I have three to four sound devices (two pci and one or two usb, depending on what is plugged in), and on every reboot cards tend to get shuffled and the wrong one is typically the default. 3) Is there maybe a system-config-soundcard-tui or something equivalent which would make my life easier and make the first two questions obsolete? 4) Why there is no man page for system-config-soundcard? I would really appreciate some help with this. CentOS 5.3, if it matters. Best, :-) Marko

I have an old RHEL3 box that I am upgrading to CentOS5. I picked up a new Dell Poweredge R200 to use for that. Is there an easy way to copy all the user accounts and existing mail from the old server to the new one? Thanks. -- -=/>Thom

yum update freeze...

Hi, my yum update freezed on the mkinitrd (second time it happens in 5.3): Running Transaction Updating : kernel-headers [ 1/22] Updating : viewvc [ 2/22] Updating : sos [ 3/22] Installing : kernel-devel [ 4/22] Installing : kernel [ 5/22] S+ \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum update S+ \_ /bin/sh /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.78758 2 S+ \_ /bin/bash /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 S+ \_ /bin/bash --norc /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.img 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 S+ \_ /bin/bash --norc /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.img 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 D+ \_ lvm.static lvs --ignorelockingfailure --noheadings -o vg_name /dev/md1 I tried to strace the dead process but it did not show anything...

How to run command as apache?
by Neil Aggarwal 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hello: I have a subversion repository set up in /usr/local/svn/MyProject. For security, I have that directory set to apache as the owner and group and all files are mode 700. I need to run a svnsync command as the apache user so it may write to the repository. I tried this command: su apache -c "/usr/bin/svnsync sync https://svn2.jammconsulting.com/svn/MyProject" But I get this message from the su command: This account is currently not available. I am guessing this happens because the apache account is set with no password and a nologin shell. How can I run a command as the apache user?

Best mobile SSH client?
by Sean Carolan 10 May '09

10 May '09

I'm up for a cell phone contract renewal and am considering upgrading my handset. I looked at some devices at my local AT&T store but nothing really jumped out at me. I'm particularly interested in a cell phone that has a reliable ssh client, with ssh-agent and public key authentication abilities. Those of you who administer systems remotely, what mobile ssh client do you recommend? What phone would you recommend?
