centos 5.1 vnc crashing
by Jerry Geis 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

Hi all, I was running centos 4.5 with not issues on my main box. I updated to (fresh install) to 5.1 Things run fine except I use vnc alot from home to connect back into my machine and sometimes on connecting it is crashing the vnc session and then it kills my entire login session. Is anyone else having this on 5.1? This is my modules section in xorg.conf Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "fbdevhw" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "freetype" Load "type1" Load "dri" Load "vnc" EndSection It worked flawlessly on centos 4.5. Any ideas about how to get it not to crash. Jerry

4.6 update overwrote my /usr/lib/python2.3/site.py file
by Jeff Larsen 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

We had some custom additions to our site.py file for a third party application. 'yum update' to 4.6 overwrote the file with no backup or warning. Not hard to repair, but it did have me worried there for a few minutes when the application failed to start. Is this a python issue, an upstream issue or a CentOS issue? Can something be done about it going forward? Jeff

SCSI bad block table display
by Hugh E Cruickshank 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hi All: Is there a utility available that will allow for the dump/display of the bad track table of a SCSI drive. We had this capability on SCO OSR5 but I have not been able to locate anything similar for Linux. The closest I have found is the badblocks utility that is part of the e2fsprogs package but this appears to only test for bad blocks not display the current bad block table contents. I have done quite a bit of searching with Google but either it does not exist or (more than likely) I am using the wrong search parameters. TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

File description left open in LVM
by Reuben D. Budiardja 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hello, I used to have LVM on my machine to combine the capacity of a hard drive and a partition on a different drive as one volume group. I had problem with one of the disk but I was able to remove all the data of the computer, and replace the disk, and add another disk Now I want to start over and create LVM again. However, I keep getting this message: # vgdisplay File descriptor 128 left open File descriptor 129 left open No volume groups found # pvdisplay File descriptor 128 left open File descriptor 129 left open What does this mean ? Also, in /etc/lvm I found archive/ and backup/ directory which seems to refer to my old LVM, and also .cache. Are they safe to remove ? Thank you for any help. RDB
