XFCE-Terminal can't display latin1 encoding
by Niki Kovacs 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi, Much of my work consists in connecting to the MySQL monitor on our public library database server and working in it. Until recently, I've been using either Gnome-Terminal in GNOME, or Konsole in KDE. Since all the systems, both server and clients, default to fr_FR.UTF-8, and MySQL uses a default latin1 charset, I usually switch the displayed charset within Gnome-Terminal or Konsole. I'm actually converting most of the desktops to XFCE, since it's my preferred desktop environment. Unfortunately, XFCE's Terminal application doesn't seen to offer the opportunity to switch to displaying an ISO-8859-1 (or ISO-8859-15) charset. Is there any other way to achieve that? Right now, all my french characters in the MySQL console appear as inverted question marks. Which leaves me with two more inverted question marks in my eyes :oD Any suggestions? Niki

Apache RPM's
by Bob Boilard 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hello all, I love CentOS, but I am seriously regretting selecting Centos 4.4 for my production hosting servers. The current situation with CentOS 4.4 and being stuck at Apache 2.0.52 is a huge problem because of the new requirements for the Credit Card industry PCI scan. Apache 2.0.52 does not pass PCI compliance scans. which means no ecommerce on any of these servers - MAJOR ISSUE. So my question to the community is: when are new Apache RPM's going to be released or at minimum a backported version that plugs these security holes so we can pass PCI scans. Apache 2.0.52 has some major issues that need to be dealt with? Help us out here. I know I am not the only one in this situation. every hosting company that uses Ensim Pro X is just where I am. Any insight or better yet a solution to this would be great.

Re: [CentOS] Re: system gets suspended automatically!

I don't think that is the "harmless" error message mentioned in the release notes as that had to do with the "crash kernel". I saw this same error on a Dell AMD system. It seems the motherboard in that system didn't do ACPI IRQ routing as the kernel expected and experienced a lot of random problems until "acpi=noirq" was passed as a kernel option to disable ACPI IRQ routing defaulting back to the APIC IRQ routing. If that still gives you problems then you may need to use "irq=poll" which forces the kernel to poll for IRQ changes. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Wed Feb 06 08:03:47 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Re: system gets suspended automatically!

I always use screen when running updates, installs, disk maintenance, etc. This way, if the ssh session dies for whatever reason, the command keeps going and I can reconnect to the session later. It's also useful to be able to start the run at the office and then reconnect from home to check on it. -- Bowie

RE: [CentOS] VMWare Server Install Problem

Dear All, Thank you all for sharing this information, I had to setup something very immediately and a friend of mine suggested VIRTUALBOX, so I went on installing virtualbox, to be frank its great free software. There was no hassle in Installation and pretty similar interface to VMWare Server. Does the same job as more secure and reliable I guess I will try your suggestion some time this week Once again thanks to every one Cheers Harry -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Akemi Yagi Sent: Tuesday, 12 February 2008 10:42 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] VMWare Server Install Problem On Feb 12, 2008 4:33 AM, Alfredo Perez <alfredoj69(a)rogers.com> wrote: > On Tue, Feb 12, 2008 at 03:43:38PM +1000, Harry Sukumar wrote: > > Good Day All, > > > > I have issues installing VMware Server on CentOS 5, its asking for the > > location of c header files, i have installed them all but i am still > > unable to install VMWare Server > > > > here is the output > > > > What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your > > running > > kernel?
