How to disable hal's polling of CD-ROM drive in CentOS 5.1?
by Steve Snyder 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Given that I hardly ever use the CD-ROM drive, it makes no sense to have hal constantly polling it for new media. How can I disable this polling in CentOS 5.1? Thanks.

5.0--> 5.1 lm_sensors "General Parse Error"
by John Thomas 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Problem and solution, not sure if correct After upgrading to 5.1 and restarting, lm_sensors complained "General Parse Error." Google pointed here: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices Where I found this under "SENSOR CHIP DRIVERS - STATUS" AMD --> "Since Kernel 2.6.19" Latest AMD K8 processors have integrated sensors which can be read directly without any additional monitoring chip. Driver contributed by Rudolf Marek. Userspace support available in lm_sensors 2.10.1. Upgrade to lm_sensors 2.10.1 is mandatory, earlier versions of libsensors will fail with a "General parse error" message. My kernel is "2.6.18-53.el5.centos.plus-i686", but I figured I must of gotten me some backported stuff in there (i.e. I'm in over my head). I upgraded to the lm_sensors in ATRPMS testing repo, and the problem went away. (lm_sensors-2.10.5-52.el5) -- Sincerely, John Thomas

Problems configuring SAMBA share on remote machine
by Andrew Allen 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

I'm having problems getting a SAMBA share on a remote (Windows XP) machine to allow me write access to files. I can copy/paste whole files OK from my CentOS 5 box, but can't do any editing of files on the Windows XP machine, which I use as a file server for most of my domestic data (historical reasons for using Windows!). I've tried re-setting permissions to allow write access to the cifs-mounted folders/files, but without success - any suggestions please? Thanks, Andy

Newer gamin package for CentOS 4.x?
by Bart Schaefer 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

The gam_server in gamin-0.1.7-1.2.EL4 occasionally goes into an infinite loop (googling indicates there have been problems with this in gam_server for a long time, I see "another attempt to fix ..." dating from 2004). Does anyone know whether a newer version of gamin has finally fixed this and if so where an RPM or SRPM for the fixed version, suitable for CentOS 4, might be found?

CentOS 5 sysreport
by Alfred von Campe 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

I stumbled across this issue because I requested to install the sysreport package in my kickstart file. Anaconda complains that such a package doesn't exist. There is a bug report about this already (http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2492) but it's certainly a strange situation. 1. Anaconda doesn't think the package sysreport exists 2. yum thinks it exists: # yum list sysreport Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Available Packages sysreport.noarch 1.4.3-13.el5 base 3. But installing with yum fails: # yum install sysreport Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Package sos - 1.7-9.1.el5.noarch already installed and latest version Nothing to do 4. The sysreport file from the sos package fails to run: # sysreport Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/sysreport", line 31, in ? import sos.policyredhat ImportError: No module named sos.policyredhat 5. But if you extract /usr/sbin/sysreport from the sysreport package using rpm2cpio for instance, it works just fine. So it would be nice if yum would allow installing the sysreport package (see step 3 above) as that would appear to solve all the problems. Alfred

LOTD with CentOS 5
by Michael A. Peters 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Howdy folks - I just moved my laptop from Fedora to CentOS. FC6 was running rather sweet, then they decided to EOL it, and F8 - while it had some nice new features, it was just way to quirky for me. I no longer enjoy re-installing the OS quite so often, hence my move to CentOS. So I installed CentOS 5 on my laptop, and built a bunch of packages, making "yet another" repo for CentOS. These are primarily straight rebuilds (in mock) of Fedora 8 source rpm's - taking care to avoid anything that conflicts with or replaces CentOS packages. I know there are a dozen or so addon repos already - and if you are happy with them, stick with them. My goal was to stay as close to Fedora 8 packaging for these addon packages as possible, benefiting from their packaging guidelines, and also to not replace the stable very well tested CentOS packages. [yjl-misc] does not replace any CentOS packages and has stuff from F8 everything like AbiWord, Gnumeric, Bluefish, BitTorrent, etc. as well as some multimedia related libraries. [yjl-livna] has rebuilds of stuff from rpm.livna.org - mostly multimedia related, including xine and totem-xine. Depends on [yjl-misc]. [yjl-php] has php 5.2.5 and does replace the CentOS php, it should probably only be used if something you are doing requires php 5.2.x. For those interested: http://www.pennywasted.info/centos/yjl.php
