mdbtools on CentOS
by Nigel Kendrick 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Morning everyone, I was hoping to use mdbtools to extract data from some Access databases overnight. I have yum installed the tools from Dag and also downloaded and (eventually!) compiled the latest release from the mdbtools web site, but I either get 'buffer overflow' errors or no output from most of the tools. I have been trying to cvs checkout the latest development version but sourceforge's cvs login keeps timing out. Is anyone hereabouts using mdbtools successfully, or can anyone suggest any other tools that will dump access databases on a scheduled basis? I have done test migrations using the MySQL gui tools and that works fine, but I don't think the operation can be scripted. On a side note, I also need to do the same for MS-SQL data - does anyone have any favourite tools for automating data extraction? Everything ultimately needs to end up in a MySQL database Any advice appreciated. Thanks Nigel Kendrick

I have been asked to put a club's membership form on their web, but firefox displays it as scaled to 23% and it prints at that scale. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks Anne

Recent problems printing to HP 7310 port 9100
by Robert Moskowitz 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I have been printing to this printer for years it seems. Recently, printing from Firefox would hang in the print que, but other prints would go behind the hung job. Deleting the hung print job would not seem to change the que until I rebooted. Now I have an OpenOffice job stuck as well. I am using the recommended hpijs device driver. Any ideas what may be wrong here? I am going to have to email this spreadsheet over to my XP system and print from there. How embarrassing.

Command line logging program suggestions?
by Rob Lines 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I am looking for an app that would run from the terminal and would emulate a bash shell (or pass everything to the shell) that would allow me to set a log file and then record all my input and the output to the screen from the commands. As an added bonus if it would allow me to run it from two terminals (or more) on the same machine and log all the input and output to the same file while still displaying it on the screen that would be great. The goal being that when making changes or diagnosing a problem it can sometimes become hard to tell what command came when especially when you have more than one termial session open. While using putty with a really large buffer helps it doesn't deal well with the two terminal issue or disconnected sessions. Anyone know of an app like this or any suggestions that could be added to my bashrc to provide the functionality? Thanks, Rob

need advise on protect base and priorities plugin
by ceejay cervantes 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi, Is it not ok to use both plugins at the same time? I have read from the wiki page of centos that you must use only either protect base or priorities plugin. I have been using the the config file below for months and did not encounter any problems. I used priority=1 and protect=1 on base and updates (addons,extras protect=1 ; set no priorities) for the CentOS-Base repo and on the rpmforge repo I used protect=0 and did not set any priority. Should I enable only one (protect base or priorities) and not both? Thanks.

Help with gcc 4.3.x and libfortran errors
by Scott R. Ehrlich 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I am trying to install gcc 4.3.0 or 4.3.1 on a 64-bit CentOS 5.0 machine, fully patched, and keep getting: make[3]: *** [libgfortran.la] error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory /path/to/source/libgfortran make[2]: *** [all] error 2 make[2]: leaving directory /path/to source/libgfortran make[1]: *** [all-target-libgfortran] error 2 make[1]: leaving directory /path/to/source make: *** [all] error 2 Web searching has yielded a myriad of hits, including various bug reports. Is this a known bug with a workaround, or do I need another package to make it work, or do I need to adjust my configure line to make things happy? Thanks for any insight. Scott

However, I get : [root@mike-2 ~]# yum install apt Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Nothing to do So not sure what I am missing .. And sorry if this isn't the right place to ask :)

Desktop Effects -- questions/issues
by fred smith 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi! I finally tried enabling the desktop effects yesterday. I'm using an old Nvidia card (GeForce 4 MX440) with, of course, Nvidia's drivers. this is on a fully updated Centos 5 system. Enabling from the gnome menu doesn't exactly work compltely, one needs to google around a bit to find out the remaining magic incantations to make it fully work. So, I've done that and it's working. Issues: 1. I notice that the text in the bar at the top of each window appears to be a different font, and it is outlined in black. Is there any way to tweak that setting? 2. If I have a window that is slid partially off the edge of an individual desktop it now oveerlaps the edge of the one "next" to it, when it never did before. Not sure if I like that or not, is there any way to change that behavior should I decide I don't like it? 3. I have (and always have had) the panel settings set to "autohide". I now notice that it sometimes does not hide itself until I explicitly click in an empty part of the panel, then somewhere else on the desktop. Anyone know if there's a way to resovle this? Question: Should I decide I want to revert to the way it was before I enabled these effects, how would I go about that? there is no "disable" button on the gnome menu, only the "enable" button. I know how to un-do the changes I made manually in the xorg.conf file, but no idea how to undo whatever it is that the "enable desktop effects" button does. Clues would be appreciated.
