vncserver
by Jerry Geis 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi all, When using the "vncserver :1" and then "vncviewer :1" to see it so far so good. then when I run a program I get the window outline until I move to the position I want and click - how can I just skip that step and lets say have my new program go full screen (in the vnc window). Is that possible and how? THanks, Jerry

gettext does not work after glibc update
by Christoph Mitasch 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hi, I recently upgraded my system to CentOS 4.6 and noticed that gettext does not behave as before the update. As soon as I install the old glibc version (glibc-2.3.4-2.36) instead of the new one (glibc-2.3.4-2.39) it works again. See the Attachment for details. Any hints would be appreciated! Thank you, Christoph

cron clarification
by Joseph L. Casale 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

What is the ramifications to simply placing scripts in the /etc/cron.hourly directory as opposed to actually adding jobs via the crontab -e method? Is there any significance to using one method versus the other? Thanks! jlc

Firewall frustration
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables.... Maybe Shoreline with webmin.... Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the templates for fwbuilder want you to be using NATing. Perhaps I should just set up another Astaro firewall. I have been using Astaro since v3, so I am comfortable with it....

drbd on CentOS 5
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Hi All, Is the centosplus kernel still needed for drbd support? I noticed that if I do a 'yum update kmod-drbd', yum gives me an error because it wants to install the "normal" CentOS kernel, but can't since I have it excluded. I do see kmod-drbd in the centosplus repo though. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.22.9-61.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 15:12:04 up 21 days, 13:43, 1 user, load average: 0.72, 0.85, 0.94

Centos 5.1, mythtv, saa7134_dvb?
by Mogens Kjaer 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

I'm trying to set up my Centos 5.1 box at home to run mythtv. The DVB-T card requires saa7134 and saa7134_dvb. These are not in the Centos kernels. Centosplus has saa7134, but not saa7134_dvb. Do I have to compile the kernel myself, or is there a trick?

1680x1050 Monitor
by centos＠911networks.com 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Hi, I just got a new Samsung 226bw 22" wide monitor to replace my previous one. I also have a nvidia 8600gts video card. I can set interactively [through the nvidia-settings utility] the 1680 by 1050 resolution. I have saved the settings in the xorg.conf, but I can't keep it after a restart of X or a reboot. When I restart X, the login is at: 1680 by 1050, then it switches to 1280 by 1024. Here are the video sections from my xorg.conf Any suggestion with what's wrong? Section "Module" Load "glx" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce 8600 GTS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "0" Option "metamodes" "1680x1050 +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

ISO burning challenge -- pilgrims progress
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

First the Storix drive works just fine under DSL 4.2.1 on my Libretto. So the drive is fine, the media is fine. And cdrecord on DSL reports the media to be Manuf. index: 27 Manufacturee: Prodisc Technology Inc. I have all of ONE system with Centos 4 on it. A Trixbox 2.2; I added cdrecord and found that I could burn the iso image ONLY by including the -force option to get around the "cdrecord: Cannot get disk type" error. So I moved back to the Centos 5 system. I had to add the speed=4 (when the unit supports speed=8) along with the -force to get it to burn a iso image (btw, timeout=100 does nothing. The failure is in a few seconds, adding to the timeout changes nothing). There are a number of timing errors on the Centos 5 system. Even the Centos 4 system had a SCSI error (0x7000). I did find ONE mention of "cdrecord: Cannot get disk type": http://crashrecovery.org/oss-dvd/Changelog.html but that is dated 2/2/06. One would think it is fixed in Centos 5..... I have NOT gotten the HP CDRW working yet, that is the one I want to leave on the server, as the Storix is my traveling drive. More work. Any pointers gladly taken! I REALLY want to move my CD processes to Centos. I want a GUI interface and want to rip and burn music CDs as well.....
