Dell PE2970 with ATI RN50
by James Bensley 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hey Guys, I'm having a few troubles trying to get Cent OS 5.2 displaying correctly on my Dell PowerEdge 2970 (I also have two PowerVault NF500 III's but they are just getting a little screen lag at the minute, the 2970 is getting white artifacts when I drag a window!). Can anyone help me locate and correctly install some drivers. The 2970 has an onbaord ATI RN50 as its an AMD board/CPU combo thus its RN50 chipset. I have look at the Dell website for Red Hat 5 drivers but there aren't any for video? Would the Red Hat 4 drivers be OK? Also, I rang ATI and they said try going back to the Dell and installing the general Chip set drivers as that would probably include the onbaord graphics? I could do with some help on this one as I have never had to install drivers for a Linux OS before as I normalaly work with Linux on workstations which is always straight forward. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. regards, James. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GIT/MU/U dpu s: a--> C++>$ U+> L++> B-> P+> E?> W+++>$ N K W++ O M++>$ V- PS+++ PE++ Y+ PGP t 5 X+ R- tv+ b+> DI D+++ G+ e(+++++) h--(++) r++ z++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------

bioinformatics repository?
by Davide Cittaro 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi all, I'm new to Centos, just moved here from Gentoo Linux. I have to install a server for bioinformatics purposes and I see that default yum repositories do not include any bioinformatics software (i.e. ncbi-toolkit, blat, and others). I'm googling a bit but I can't find a valuable solution: which is (or which are) the best repository I should add to have a satisfying list of bioinfo rpm? Thanks d /* Davide Cittaro Cogentech - Consortium for Genomic Technologies via adamello, 16 20139 Milano Italy tel.: +39(02)574303007 e-mail: davide.cittaro(a)ifom-ieo-campus.it */

XFS or JFS on CentOS 5?
by Ray Van Dolson 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi folks... trying to pick between jfs and xfs for a filesystem. In the past we've used jfs with CentOS + centosplus, however, an older post indicated that this may not be the best choice as the version of jfs included with the centosplus kernel would only be as new as the version that was included in the 2.6.18 kernel as RH doesn't backport fixes... It looks like xfs isn't part of the centosplus kernel, but instead is provided as a kmod -- so I'm thinking it might be the better choice based purely on the fact that it's likely to be current. Is my understanding correct there? What would stop us from building a kmod-jfs against the latest jfs from the up-upstream kernel and not building jfs.ko in the centosplus kernel at all? It looks like jfsutils is a fairly recent version... Thanks, Ray

Skype vs. CentOS: no outgoing sound
by Niki Kovacs 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi, I've spent the best part of a sunny afternoon trying to get Skype to work on my CentOS 5 desktop. My soundcard seems configured OK. I can play sounds and hear them OK in my headset: $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav I can record speech from my microphone OK: $ arecord > ~/test.wav ... although I have to say that sound quality seems rather poor. It's quite fuzzy. Other detail: curiously when I speak into the microphone I don't hear my own voice in the headset. I've installed the CentOS RPM from skype.com, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to have outgoing sound. Whenever I do a test call (echo123), there's no message left. I've been jumping through burning loops giving all the options and their possible permutations a shot, to no avail. Though curiously that thing worked on a Linux Mint 5 install. But then, I won't change distro because of one small detail. Any suggestions? Niki
