how to create an mpeg4 mimetype (OT)
by Phil Savoie 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hi All, I think this may be off topic, but since it's through centos 5.2, I'm not sure. Here is what I would like to do: I have created a web page for family to log into and view clips of my new niece. My camera saves these clips in mpeg4 format. What I would like to do is have the web clients click on the link and have either the clip pop up a save dialog or even better, start playing the clip. Right now if the link is clicked it starts downloading right away but the file looks like gibberish. I guess what I am seeing is the raw code. I think it's a mimetype thing but I'm not sure and if it is, how would I create the mimetype entry to do what I would like? Thanks in advance for any and all information received. Phil

Rebuild of kernel 2.6.9-67.0.20.EL failure
by John 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hello list. I'm trying to rebuild the 2.6.9.67.0.20.EL kernel, but it fails even without modifications. How did I try it? Created a (non-root) build environment (not a mock ) Installed the kernel.scr.rpm and did a rpmbuild -ba --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> prep-err.log | tee prep-out.log The build failed at the end: Processing files: kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-67.0.20.EL Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/john/rpmbuild/tmp/kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.EL-root RPM build errors: In my setup rebuilding the 2.6.9-67.0.15.EL kernel went ok Does anybody knows what I do miss or what is going wrong? For the curios: Why to recompile the kernel? I want to rebuild the kernel because I created a patch to decrease the kernel timer frequency from 1000 to 100 HZ. The CentOS4.6 kernel doesn't have the divider option available in CentOS5.2 This prevent timing problems and high CPU load in VMware ESX.

xen save/restore causes cron to hang
by Joe Pruett 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

i haven't found anything online to talk about this, so maybe i've got something odd going on here. i have my xen set up to save/restore on dom0 reboot. almost everything works fine, but cron on the guest os'es (everything is centos 5 x86_64) stop processing jobs. i'm guessing it is missing an alarm or something like that. anyone else see this?

Problem with nvidia-drv-x11 when upgrading to CentOS 5.2
by Bernhard Gschaider 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hi! I know that the nvidia-drv-x11-package is from RPMForge, but I thought I might mention it here. I have a machine with a NVidia-card and because of the ease of use I use the rpmforge-package for that. After upgrading the problem was that during rebooting as soon as the machine hit the RHGB (which implicitly uses that driver) the machine froze. I booted into the old kernel removed rhgb, rebooted. Now the machine froze when starting X. Same procedure: Old Kernel. Remove nvidia-drv-x11. Reboot into the new kernel and reinstall nvidia-drv-x11. After a reboot everything works as it used to. The cause of the problem could have been (sorry, I didn't do any thorough forensic) that the nvidia.ko that was used in the new kernel was a symbolic link from the "weak-updates"-directory into the old kernel "extra"-directory. Is it possible that this only works inside of kernels with the same x in CentOS 5.x ? For the other machines I am upgrading I plan to 1. deinstall nvidia-x11-drv 2. do a regular "yum upgrade" 3. reinstall nvidia-x11-drv after reboot Is there any better way to do it? Bernhard PS: the main purpose of this message is to alert others to this problem, not to get an answer, although that would be nice

is CentOS an LSB certified product?
by Nicholas 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hi all, Would anyone know if CentOS 4 and 5 is LSB certified? I have not found any info on RH being LSB certified either. Is RH also LSB certified? In case you need to know, I am compiling a list of LSB certified Linux just for comparison as to who would want to be LSB certified. Just to see if it matters to ppl if it matters to be certified. --- Join OSCC MAMPU Mailing Lists http://lists.oscc.org.my/mailman/listinfo/oscc-discuss

'sealert', the client portion of 'setroubleshoot', runs from the command line as well as under 'x'. Check the man page for sealert. "sealert may also be run in command line mode. The two most useful command line options are -l to "lookup" an alert ID and -a to "analyze" a log file. When setroubleshootd generates a new alert it assigns it a local ID and writes this as a syslog message. The -l lookup option may then be used to retrieve the alert from the setroubleshootd alert database and write it to stdout. This is most useful when setroubleshootd is being run on a headless system without the GUI desktop alert facility." Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

extract MIME attachments from 700MB imap folder
by Ray Leventhal 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hi all, Issue: I've been tasked with extracting a bunch of MIME attachments (M$Word docs) from emails which have been stored in an imap folder in /home/<username>/mail/<imap foldername>. As the subject states, the imap folder is about 700MB. Googling suggested that munpack might do the trick, but as it is intended only for one message at a time, it outputs the first attachment found, then exits gracefully. Further searches seemed to talk about mimedump, so I yum installed perl-MIME-tools.noarch from rpmforge as mimedump this was needed, and includes mimedump. I've read the man page, but am wholly unclear as to: 1) will this do the trick for me 2) are there other known tools which might be recommended Thanks in advance, -Ray System runs CentOS 5.1, not updated since April, but it is not connected to the internet (I do bring it online to install packages as needed); I will do a complete upgrade before the end of this month.

RE: [CentOS] African IP addresses list
by Tony Wicks 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

> I would like to add something, as a South African citizen. South Africa, is NOT part of Africa for that matter, it's a republic on it's own. It's almost like saying "Let's ban America, cause someone in Mexico spammed me". South Africa, which is on the 196/8 range does a LOT of business overseas in many countries, and I do want to warn that you could loose a lot of good business due to this practice. Most of the fraud you experience could come from Nigeria, or one of the other central & western Africa countries. To ban a whole continent because of problems some countries cause could be problematic. For that matter is China a different country from Russia, from Switzerland, even though they share the same land mass -- I need to put my 2c in here. I'm from New Zealand, we are a first world democratic country (the first in the worlds to give the vote to ALL adults I may mention). I have had the misfortune many of times of being unable to transact business because people from the US in their ignorance think, that New Zealand, isn't that part of Australia, which is right next to Asia, can't do business with those Asians, they will rip me off. Now sometimes people from the US have asked me why people in the other parts of the world get a bit annoyed at the "the only country that is free and true if the good old US of A" attitude, and well here you go as an example. Lets ban all of Africa because someone from Nigeria is a scammer. Africa is a pretty big place, and you know what, I've met many South Africans that are real nice (even employed a few). I've always been someone who defends America when people run it down, but it is a two way street, don't treat a whole country as criminals because you don’t know the difference between one side of a continent from another, its kind of insulting you know. And some day you might well need the rest of us, you never know.
