rt3 3.8.2 latest version as rpm for C5?
by Rainer Traut 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Hi, I know, epel has rt3 in version 3.6.x. And - sadly - for version 3.8.x the perl module dependencies are way ahead of what I can find in epel or rpmforge. But we really need some of the 3.8.x series features. So has anybody maybe built those modules + rt3 v3.8.x for C5? Any hint? I really do not want to install f10. :O Thx Rainer

I switched to the DKMS module in rpmforge and am running an AMD CPU. Only think I've noticed is a weird issue with the cursor in thunderbird, I don't know if that is nvidia related or not though. It is annoying and I don't recall it being there before I updated the driver. Asus M2N board AMD X2 CPU (I think a 5200 - I forget - 2.6 GHz) nVidia Corporation NV42 [GeForce 6800 XT] (rev a2) nvidia-x11-drv-173.08-1.beta.el5.rf kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 x86_64

ext3_free_blocks_sb: bit already cleared for block
by Gordon Messmer 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

I opened bug 494927 with Red Hat after seeing this kernel error on two different hosts, just a few days after updating or installing CentOS 5.3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494927 Has anyone else seen this yet? The patch that RH included in kernel-2.6.9-78.0.17.EL.src.rpm to fix the problem appears to have been in their 2.6.18 rpm since revision 15, so something else is apparently causing the same problem. I'm running bonnie++ in a loop on a VM running the affected kernel hoping to duplicate the problem.

Problem again with shockwave, or flash player (I think)...
by Linda Stark 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Hi there, OK I thought I had this problem solved last week. Last week with help from this list, we installed the flash player on my Centos 5 desktop machine. But now when I go to cnbc, I am getting that same problem when trying to view vids on their site. So I click the icon where the empty video frame is to install the plugin, the "no suitable plugins were found" box come comes up again, so I click on the manual install button, and I am getting the "/tmp/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch-2.rpm is already installed" box again. On youtube however, or other sites, I can view vids, and I thought that the flash player was installed OK last week but some sites I still can't view videos. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks anyone. _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Get e-mail storage that grows with you. http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_St…

Clamd and Amavis
by Anne Wilson 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

I'm trying to get amavis to play using clamd and tried to follow this: # ### http://www.clamav.net/ ['ClamAV-clamd', \&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/run/clamav/clamd"], qr/\bOK$/, qr/\bFOUND$/, qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ], # # NOTE: run clamd under the same user as amavisd, or run it under its own # # uid such as clamav, add user clamav to the amavis group, and then add # # AllowSupplementaryGroups to clamd.conf; # # NOTE: match socket name (LocalSocket) in clamav.conf to the socket name in # # this entry; when running chrooted one may prefer socket "$MYHOME/clamd". # ### http://www.clamav.net/ and CPAN (memory-hungry! clamd is preferred) # # note that Mail::ClamAV requires perl to be build with threading! # ['Mail::ClamAV', \&ask_clamav, "*", [0], [1], qr/^INFECTED: (.+)/], I came unstuck with the instruction regarding the LocalSocket. If I change that in clamd.conf to $MYHOME/amavisd.sock or $MYHOME/clamd the clamd service won't start, saying the socket doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong? Anne

It must be true that very few people actually have to turn off kABI, or this would have come up before. I know that I can turn off ocfs in the .config and see if there is anything else that does not build correctly. -- Terry Hull Network Resource Group, Inc.
