Hi, Is there any nautilus extension that allow us to do md5sum? It would be nice to be able to do that from nautilus. Thank you.

Recover rpm DB corrupted by disk failure?
by Bart Schaefer 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Over the weekend my workstation (still on CentOS 3) started showing SMART errors, so we shut it down and moved everything onto a new drive. On reboot, the RPM database reports as corrupted and "rpm --rebuilddb" segmentation faults. Is there any reasonable way to recover from this, short of a complete reinstall? The machine is otherwise up though it's quite likely some files have been lost.

GNU Screen Macro?
by Sean Carolan 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Anyone know if this is possible with GNU screen? I would like to have a macro or keyboard shortcut whereby the following actions are performed: 1. Open new screen window (CTRL-A C) 2. ssh to some $host 3. Rename current screen as $host (CTRL-A A $host) I can see that typing "screen" while within a screen session opens a new window, however I'm not clear on how to automate steps 2 and 3.

What broke my box ??
by Michael A. Peters 23 Feb '09

CentOS 5.2 64-bit I needed some space. I have a hard drive that had an old Linux install I don't use anymore. So I edited /etc/fstab and removed the entries for it (entries I only needed so I could get data off it). Then I edited /boot/grub.conf and removed the lines to boot it. Then I rebooted. It booted but a bunch of services failed because libstdc++ could not be found. I logged into a console and tried to verify libstdc++ and that failed, I guess rpm depends upon it. touch /forcefsck && shutdown -r now After booting - no fsck errors, but libstdc++ error when starting some services. cd /usr/lib64 - the shared library was there. I looked in /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ just in case for some idiotic reason I had added a library path on the other drive - nope. I then ran /sbin/ldconfig - and then rpm --verify worked. rebooted and all services started. So - clearly the library cache got borked and needed to be rebuilt. The question is what borked it? Anyone seen this before?

new user - with questions
by Michael Klinosky 23 Feb '09

Hello. I've been using Fedora since about the FC6 era, for home use. I don't like the 6 month upgrade (or re-install) concept, and I don't need the latest & greatest versions of apps. So, CentOS sounds enticing. But, I have some questions. I found 2 centos websites (primary and wiki), and checked the forum - but couldn't find answers to these concerns. Is CentOS basically like Fedora? (Well, except for the updates every 6 months!) As in 'look & feel', underlying operations, etc. (Btw, I know about removing upstream branding.) Any caveats? Meaning, does it use the same repositories that Fedora does? Are there any major or significant differences? I should just go for the most recent package (5.2) - yes? About how old are the apps? (A few months?) How are application updates handled? 5.2 has firefox-3.0-0.beta5.6.el5. I saw (on the Firefox website) that 3.0.6 is out. Will an app update get that version, or something just a bit older? (btw, I know about backporting.) Does centos use Plymouth? I have a somewhat recent computer (about 3 years old) that has an intel chipset (which Plymouth can't handle yet, and so it needs xdriver=vesa during install). Michael, in Pennsylvania (USA)

4 X 500 gb drives - best software raid config for a backup server?
by dnk 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi there, I am currently setting up a server that will house my backups (simply using rsync). This system has 4 X 500 gb drives and I am looking to raid for max drive space and data safety. Performance is not so much a concern. My experience with software raids in nil, so some of these may seem like pretty dumb questions. I was thinking a raid 1 is probably sufficient. Would it be best to raid 1 two drives each and LVM them together? My next question would be about how to do this as I have never done a linux software raid. D
