Automatically send CTRL-D
by Mário Gamito 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi, Sorry for the little bit off-topic. I have a script that has to performe a hash over a password. Problem is that sha512sum expects CTRL-D to be pressed to return to the command prompt. I've searched all over Google, but either I didn't do the right search or there is nothing relevant about this. Bottom line is that I need this command to print the password hash and returns to the shell automatically: $ sha512sum | xargs echo "password" | cut -f2 -d' ' Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

Viewing QT .mov files in Totem

11 Mar '08

CentOS-5.1 Is there anything special one must do to get the Totem shipped with CentOS-5 to display .mov files? When I try to view a file I get an error box with the message: Totem could not play 'file:///tmp/073_complex_forms_part_1.mov'.

Linux Sound Architecture
by Ross S. W. Walker 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

(I hope the ASCII art doesn't get mangled) I have been working a while trying to get a big picture of how Linux handles sound processing and after much work I have put together this little representation of what I have learned. Please send me any additional comments or components that I may have missed. I hope it helps somebody though who may be struggling in getting sound to work and just needs some idea of how all the parts fit together. There really needs to be some concise, up-to-date Wiki on Linux sound processing and how the different applications work and work together (or not).

DNS Caching for a satellite link
by Benjamin Weiss 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

I'm on a satellite link, and I've got a caching DNS server set up. Several popular sites have very short DNS cache times set in their SOA records, and I'm trying to over-ride them so that our link isn't swamped with DNS queries. Anybody know how to force the DNS cache to hang onto the info longer than the SOA TTL? Yes, I know the arguments against doing this, but in this particular instance it makes sense. I'm using CentOS 5 and bind 9.9.3. Thanks! Also, do caching web proxies like Squid still speed up the web experience over a slow link what with all of the dynamic content on the web these days?

32bit support in 64bit environment (CentOS and Debian)
by Daniel 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi, I was just searching the web for some information on 32bit support in 64bit environment and was able to find couple pages about Debian and CentOS. However, I couldn't find any comparison between them. If anyone knows the differences (e.g. which one is easier to set up and maintain) or could point me out to some useful sites, please help. Or if you think there's no difference, please explain.

LVM VG disappears after kernel upgrade on 5.1
by Ted Miller 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

I finally got 5.1 to boot after install (install couldn't keep the disk IDs from getting crossed up, so at reboot partitions were not where install said they would be). I needed to compile vmware and nvidia modules, but decided to upgrade first. Told yumex to upgrade everything. When I went to reboot the VG with / on it is not seen by the kernel. (root partition is LVM on top of RAID 1). If I go back to the old kernel everything boots fine. On the new kernel only the VG on sdc is seen by LVM. 1. How do I persuade the new kernel to notice the VG with my root partition on it. 2. If #1 is not possible, how do I downgrade kernel-headers to the old version without having to uninstall the dependencies, so I can compile my kernel modules? + Original install was network install of 5.1/x86_64 from CD1 (of 7) + VGs were created under Centos 4. + VG DriveAB01 is on md1(sda5+sdb5) + md2(sda6+sdb6), only seen by original 5.1 kernel + /boot is on md0 + VG DriveC01 is on sdc, and both kernels see it + hdd has Win2k on it for dual boot + hdb + hdc are DVD drives + hda is unused + Motherboard is Gigbyte k8n ultra 9 + AMD 3500 Athlon 64 (single core) Ted Miller Indiana, USA
