nx - KDE - CentOS 5.2
by Craig White 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

something strange is occurring on what is a new setup CentOS 5.2, KDE via NX When I am in Konsole and I press the 'up arrow' key, I get KSnapshot instead of repeating the last line. I looked at kcontrol and there doesn't seem to be any keybinding to cause that and it's irritating and I can't figure out how to shut it off...can someone toss me a bone here? Craig

Hi I am trying to grab some files with the command (as example) yum -y install vnc --downloadonly --downloaddir=/tmp but it says the file is already installed. I know that, but I want to download it anyway and store it for later install on another machine (saving the download time later). How do I tell yum to go ahead and download the file? THanks, Jerry

Xen DomU console connection
by James B. Byrne 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Dom0 OS=CentOS-5.2_X86_64 Dom1 OS=CentOS-5.2_X86_64 I have a desktop machine running the xen kernel, Dom0. I have created a virtual machine on that host, Dom1. From my console session on Dom0 I can open a GUI console for Dom1 but I cannot resize the actual screen area. I can make the virtual console window larger but the screen stays centered at the same size while the margins increase in width. I would like to simply switch my entire desktop display from the Dom0 to Dom1 (together with the keyboard and mouse of course) and then back to Dom0 again when I am done. I suspect that this is not possible, but if it is then surely someone here will know. If I cannot actually switch desktops between domains then is there another technique available to accomplish much the same thing? I would like to use Dom1 for software development using visual editors and such. Running these inside the virtual console window is not workable, mainly due to the limited display size and the erratic behaviour of the mouse.

i386 packages on x64 servers
by German Andres Pulido Franco 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi! I have some servers, all running centos 5.2 x64 with current updates. None of the servers has installed packages that are not part of the centos regular packages. They were installed using the "server" packages at install, therefore there is no X server, GNOME, KDE or any other non-server stuff. However, I recently noted that the servers have the x64 _and_ the i386 versions of some packages installed, for instance: krb5-libs-1.6.1-25.el5_2.1 and pam_krb5-2.2.14-1.el5_2.1. My question is: If I have no 32 bits software installed on these machines, why are such libraries installed? and can they be safely removed from the servers? Thanks in advance.

system config report
by David Miller 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Long ago when I was an AIX admin we had a script we ran every 6 months or so and it created what we called the "System Book". It had every possible configuration option. While acknowledging that on a whole it was overkill documentation, if we ever had to rebuild the systems we knew *exactly* how the old one was set up to compare it to if we had problems. I'm looking to do something similar for my CentOS boxes. Or better yet, see if someone has already done something similar. I've poked around google and sourceforge on and off for a couple of months but haven't found much. The discussion lately about 'hwinfo' jogged my memory. Anyone know of something like this? A template, even? An old project that hasn't been updated but could be brought up to date? Thanks for any suggestions. Dave

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau for CentOS?
by Timo Neuvonen 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Is there a way to use "Nouveau" (open source Nvidia) driver in CentOS 5 ? "nv" seems to support only the lowest resolutions thru the dvi output (NV44 chip), and I don't like the idea of installing propiertary Nvidia drivers. This way I came to Nouveau. I had a look at some Fedora rpms, but they needed something CentOS obviously doesn't have: # rpm -ivh xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-2.1.6-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm kernel-drm-nouveau = 10 is needed by xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-2.1.6-1.fc8.x86_64 Regards, Timo
