CentOS 5.2 vs. Intel 82801 AC'97 Audio
by MHR 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I have installed 5.2 on my work desktop and everything works perfectly EXCEPT the sound device. Here is the relevant lspci line: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) I tried looking in Google (might have been a bad search), but all I could find was to add acpi=on to my boot line in grub.conf, and that didn't do any good. The volume control shows muted and I can't enable it. What am I missing? Thanks. mhr

command for brand of monitor
by Jerry Geis 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Is there a linux command that would tell me what model of monitor is presently attached to my computer? Thought about automating different setups based on the monitor connected. X config files basically. Could be done with different kickstart files - but would like to not go there if I dont have to. Jerry

FF3 printing problem on Centos 4.x
by fred smith 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I'm using Centos 4.x (fully up to date) on a system at work. I have also been using firefox 2 (directly from mozilla.org) on it for a long time, and it tends to work just fine. yesterday I installed the new FF3 release. It works fine too, with one exception: The print dialog shows no printers! The print button is greyed out! There actually four or five printers defined on the system, and all other apps find them fine, including FF2. So far no one has replied to my query on the mozillazine forums. Anyone here got any suggestions I can try? Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ------------------------ ---- Do you not know? Have you not heard?

Centos 5.2 upgrade - urlopen error unknown url type: media
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

My first notebook upgrade: I repaired my old HP nc4010 (bought a new hinge on ebay) and realized this was the perfect way to test out the upgrade to 5.2 before doing it on my production notebook. First I updated to 'current' 5.1 (by current I mean I have not synced my 5.1 local repo since building my 5.2 repo). I had not used my nc4010 for a while and the kernel was at 2.6.18-53.1.13 (update took it to 1.21). Rebooted and system still working. I then pointed my CentOS-Base.repo to my 5.2 repo. I did a yum clean all then a yum update yum* rpm and below is what happened: ======================================================= [root@nc4010 yum.repos.d]# yum clean all Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cleaning up Everything [root@nc4010 yum.repos.d]# yum update yum* rpm Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Trying other mirror.

Hi, someone successfully using mock 0.9.{7,10} on Centos 5.2 (64bit)? I'm trying to use 0.9.10, but I'm not able to produce right cfg files for centos builds, cfg files for fedora work fine. Thanks, David

INIT 5 and system is gone
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I had been running a system on Centos 5.1 at INIT 3. I did the upgrade to Centos 5.2 with the aid of the powernowk8 patch. Previously I would VNC into the unit when I needed to do admin stuff with a GUI. Well I noticed that I was NOT getting GNOME via VNC since the upgrade (worked before just fine with 5.1). So I tried an INIT 5 from the command line (always worked before), but the system seemed to hang. Video was off. I rebooted, went to INITTAB and changed init to 5 and rebooted. Probably a tragic mistake. Now on boot, right after UDEV gets an OK, the screen goes blank and the drive stops turning. I tried booting with the 5.1 kernel, and same behaviour with the system blanking out and all load activity stopping after UDEV loads. So I am quite stuck at this point. Is there an option that I can edit into the kernel command at boot time to init in 3? And then what do I try? If I have to reload Centos, I have to pull the drive, put it into another system, install there, etc. Not my idea of a fun day....
