---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lanny Marcus <lannyma(a)gmail.com> Date: Oct 19, 2007 3:03 PM Subject: package or plug in needed to listen to ASF video (.asx file) ? To: CentOS Mailing List <centos(a)centos.org> Hello: All day Sunday the 21st, I want to listen to WPRM-FM in San Juan, P.R. When I go to this URL, http://www.salsoul.com/ near the center and top of their web page, I click on "Escuchamos en vivo!" to hear their live audio and I get a pop up that says "opening WPRM_FM.asx which is ASF video from www.streamaudio.com" Then, Firefox wants to open with Movie Player and I get an Error message: "Totem could not play no URI handler implemented for "mms" Question: What package or plug in do I need, so I can listen to this? I believe the file format is for M$. I'm Using CentOS 5.0. TIA! -- Lanny Over 800 Magazine titles up to 80% off http://lowcostmagazines.com/

Using XEN VMs with non-US keyboards?
by Kai Schaetzl 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Is there a way to use Xen VMs with non-US keyboards at the console in a convenient way? I read somewhere in the documentation that only US-English keyboards are supported in the Xen console, but there's more to this. I would imagine that I then can type a character that is on a different key in the US-English layout from my German layout by using the key where it is on the US-English keyboard. For instance use y for z. That's how it would work on a normal console. But with the VM it's completely different and some characters cannot be typed *at all*. For instance, I cannot type the / or - characters (depending on what layout I choose: de (any) will prohibit me to type -, while us will prohibit me to type /. On the other hand when I type y I get a y. I assume the reason for this must be that the keyboard layout of the host machine is de as well. If I changed that to US-English I might be able to type and get what I expected. But I really don't want to change the main keyboard layout. Has anyone found a way to cope with this, so one could at least type all characters? The only way I can use Xen VMs at the moment seems to be to install them and then connect via ssh.

centos: infinite loop at boot using mptspi scsi device
by Jan Falkenhagen 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

hello, i am very new to centos and experienced some trouble yesterday when installing centos 5 onto our workgroup server. Our Server is equipped with an external RAID-array using an LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07) SCSI controller. Unfortunately the Server won't boot with the array connected, but gives the error message: target1:0:2: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back again and again. The now deleted SuSE 9.2 distribution (kernel 2.6.11), that we used for a long time was working just fine with the array. However Debian 4.0 which uses an 2.6.18 kernel just like CentOS 5 does not. We then tried to use the recent Fedora Core 6 kernel 2.6.22-xx which is working fine again, so this has to be a kernel issue. As i don't like the idea to have to use a Fedora kernel with CentOS, i am looking for a recent (unofficial) kernel that has been tested to work with CentOS. Is there any repository for that (maybe with some kind of security updates too)? -- best regards Jan Falkenhagen

Memory problems with CentOS box
by Miguel Medalha 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hello all I am running CentOS 5 on a small server and I am having very strange memory malfunctions. The computer runs perfectly with no problems whatsoever. From time to time, after a soft reboot, the computer emmits beeps corresponding to a memory fault. It never reboots again until I find and remove a now defective DIMM. That DIMM can never be used again because it is out of order. This just happened for the *fourth* time and is costing me a lot of hassle and perhaps expense if the manufacturer does not replace the DIMM freely. The memory is DDR400 ECC from Kingston and of the type recommended by the motherboard's manufacturer. The board is a Tyan Tomcat i875p (S5102). Would it be possible that the DIMMs are being destroyed by some software component from the OS, perhaps the I2C management? The DIMMs do have EPROMS... Are they being incorrectly accessed by some software component and their program modified? Could this be the board's fault? And how? I don't know what to think of this, I never saw anything like that in my already long experience with computers... I must say again that this memory error *never* happens while the computer is in service, it always happened upon a soft reboot. Any hints would be appreciated. Thank you

Display resolution problem on Centos 4.5
by fred smith 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

I've got a Centos 4.5 box at work (installed at 4.0 and kept up to date) that's having a really weird problem I haven't been able to figure out. It's been doing on for a loong time but today it just got my goat and I spent some bit of time fighting with it, unsuccessfully. /etc/X11/xorg.conf specifies that the display resolution should be 1280x1024. When root logs in it is. when a user named 'interface' logs in it is. When I log in with my normal login, 'fredex', it isn't. I get 1152x864. when I look at the "screen resolution" utility on the preferences menu it says 1280x1024. when I look at the "display" utility on the "system settings" menu it says 1280x1024. but using the monitor's OSD settings, the monitor says it's 1152x864. I CAN force it to 1280x1024 by using 'xrandr', and it then works fine at that resolution until I log in the next time. I'm left to conclude that at some point in the murky past that I must have done SOMETHING in Gnome that causes Gnome to somehow mess with the resolution when I login but not when other users do. But I've been reading the Centos forums, the Red Hat Knowledgebase, and the FAQs at gnome.org, and none of them has shed any light on this issue. Can any of you help please?

DocX support in OpenOffice
by first last 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Has anyone got the docx plugin for OpenOffice 2 running in CentOS? I have tried using the OpenOffice.org rpms and the ones in CentOS, but the plugin does not seem to work. To get it working I extracted the rpm from Novell, then copied the files to the registry/ folders and the Odfconverter to the program/ folder, but I can't get any ooxml files open at all, it gives me an error about the file being invalid and having to recover, but all that the recovery gets is an empty file. I have tried with the official RPMs versions 2.0 and 2.2 and the CentOS RPMs for 2.0. I have also tried hardcoding the path to where the files are, instead of using a relative path, but to no avail. The same procedure works perfectly with Ubuntu 7.04. Any suggestions? (My apologies if the question has already been answered, I could not find it in my email using the search in Yahoo mail).

CentOS 5 centosplus kernel + kmod-gfs
by James Fidell 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

On CentOS 5, the current centosplus kernel doesn't want to play with the kmod-gfs package (because kmod-gfs wants the stock kernel): # yum install kmod-gfs gives me: Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5) is already installed Should it work, or is there a separate centosplus build that I've not found, or do I need to roll my own?
