"Could not find mime-type"
by Anne Wilson 13 May '08

13 May '08

After a two-week holiday I've just updated my server. I have a message from kcontrol - "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream". A .png thumbnail on the desktop isn't displaying, but apart from that I don't have much of a clue what has happened. Nothing seems to appear in messages. Any help, please? Anne

GFS + quotas
by Doug Tucker 13 May '08

13 May '08

I have 2 machines in a cluster using GFS, that many client mount up via nfs. We use quotas extensively here, is there a way from a client machine to check a users quota? Standard quota command on client machines do not work like they do when checking a non-gfs nfs mounted file system. The quotas do work however, when a user exceeds quota and tries to write a file, it tell them that quota has been exceeded.

OT: YUM, RPM and PGP keys
by James B. Byrne 13 May '08

I set gpgcheck=0 in /etc/yum.conf; ran yum localinstall; and set gpgcheck=1 after the install completed. This has resolved the issue for me. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Reseted net statistics
by happymaster23 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hi all, sometimes I´m checking status of my server with phpSysInfo, always is all right, but at May 8 I was experienced a "big deviation". My machine was online for 12 days, but net statistics are reseted. I was checked /proc/net/dev and there are reseted net statistics too. How is this possible? Just before I was experienced this problem I was updating two packages with yum (perl-HTML-Parser.i386 3.56-5.el5 and epel-release.noarch 5-3). In /var/log/messages is nothing about it. At the same day someone attemped to log in to ssh (attack was about 10 hours long, but its impossible to break my server - I´m using private key allowed only from my IP and in AllowUsers is only root) so I don´t know, how is this possible. Thank you for answers

Curiosity when installing CentOS 5.1 in addition to W98 & WXP
by MHR 13 May '08

13 May '08

I got half way through an installation of CentOS on a box that has Window$ 98 in the first partition and Window$ XP in the second, where CentOS was designated for partitions 3 (/boot - 128MB) and 4 (/) and had some strange results. During the install, I changed the default OS to boot to Window$ (because I rarely use this machine, but others who don't have a clue use Wxx), but then while the packages were downloading, I left the machine alone. When I came back, it had rebooted to the DVD, so I pulled it out and rebooted again. It came up in the Windows boot selection screen (W98 or WXP), and never stopped at grub. Should I not have set it to go to Windows by default, or is this something different? Thanks. mhr

mdadm update
by Linux 12 May '08

12 May '08

Hi, I have uptodate x86_64 CentOS 5 with official repositories. mdadm version is v2.5.4 - 13 October 2006 This version is known to have problems with raid10 configurations. Sadly, I have a 4 disk raid10 on this system. I tried adding Dag's repository but system complains about some packages which are already installed as missing and refuses to "# yum update" This box also has some modifications so I do not want to change repository settings. I want to update mdadm. Can I use standalone rpm file for this update? Thanks.

Gnome-terminal's backslashes look like Ws with a horizontal line through -- how to get a backslash?
by Charles E Campbell Jr 12 May '08

12 May '08

Hello! I've just started trying gnome-terminal (instead of xterm) because of its "tabbing" facility. However, I note that with it backslashes appear something like a W with a horizontal line through it. Any known way to get a backslash to appear as a backslash? To see what I mean, use gnome-terminal with echo '\' in bash, ksh, etc. Regards, Chip Campbell
