ipw220 wireless firmware for CentOS 5
by andy.allen＠virgin.net 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

OK, I've downloaded and unzipped the firmware files in ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz - so I have 4 files: ipw2200-bss.fw, ipw2200-ibss.fw, ipw2200-sniffer.fw and LICENSE.ipw2200-fw, all of which I've placed in the /lib/firmware directory. Unfortunately, the instructions in README.ipw2200 and INSTALL are not clear as to what to do next. I'm using CentOS 5 on my (Dell) laptop so setting-up wireless networking should be reasonably straightforward - shouldn't it? Any help much appreciated - I'm a real linux fan, but it grieves me to say that, in this case, "wireless works much better in Windows XP!"

replicate centos installation
by beast 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Since neither anaconda nor system-config-kickstart can give a list of all packages that has been installed, waht is the recommended way to replicate one system for another new installation (without using hd cloning) ? Is it possible to simply do 'rpm -qa >> my-ks.cfg' ? When running anaconda installer, it gives system selection as well as package grouping (desktop vs server -> gnome vs kde -> gnome-pilot etc), which file provides these info? Thanks! --beast

CentOS vs RedHat releases
by Scott Ehrlich 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

In comparing CentOS to RedHat releases, it seems to me CentOS is the Desktop/Workstation class distro from RedHat. Does the CentOS project then not have a Server class distro, or am I missing something? Granted, most any operating system can act as a server, but there are some fundamental components of a server-class OS that help is stand out versus a workstation version. Thanks for any insights.

New CentOS DNS Server woes
by Ray Leventhal 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi folks, I've put my new DNS server in place, told the primary that this IP would be pulling zones and restarted BIND on the primary. I configured my named.conf file to pull zones from the primary, started BIND on the new box. Here's where I get confused ++++++++++++++++++++++++ [root@sunspot etc]# /etc/init.d/named status number of zones: 169 debug level: 0 xfers running: 0 xfers deferred: 0 soa queries in progress: 0 query logging is OFF recursive clients: 0/1000 tcp clients: 0/100 server is up and running +++++++++++++++++++++++ So the new BIND sees the conf file and recognizes that there are 169 zones (test group) to pull. nothing comes over. I tailed the /var/log/messages and I see about 169 <g> of these: Aug 5 14:10:08 sunspot named[5263]: dumping master file: /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves/tmp-sTsIWElBLR: open: file not found and these Aug 5 14:10:08 sunspot named[5263]: transfer of 'jemsites.com/IN' from 64.135.16.10#53: failed while receiving responses: file not found I think this must be a permissions issue. (btw, SELinux is in Permissive mode at the moment). TIA for any comments or suggestions. ~Ray

Re: [CentOS] CentOS vs RedHat packages

Makes me > wonder why, and what else might be breaking. Watch out, if you ever use FC then! During my very brief fling with FC6, I found that system-config-display did not update xorg11.config (that's not the correct file name), as it claimed to be doing. As you know, it is always best to either use the GUI tools or do it by hand. Not good to mix the two methods. My impression from reading this ML is that you will find CentOS performs for you just as well as RHEL would and probably you will get better support, on this ML, than you would from RH for RHEL, unless you are in the super customer group at RH.

Just reading this ML is an education for you, for me and probably for many others. And the CentOS support team couldn't be better. :-) 73, Lanny

Turning off a notebook's screen
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

My notebook is an HP Compaq nc4010 running current Centos 5.0 with the Gnome desktop. I have been having problems with my notebook's screen never really going off. I lock my screen and the backlight stays on. I push the close monitor button, or even close the unit, the backlight turns off for maybe 10 seconds then turns back on. Actually I just did a test again, and when I push the notebook closed button (that little microswitch that gets toggled when the unit is closed), the monitor turns off completely, then the backlight comes on, then the screen goes into some sort of barely lit mode (brighter). Even the attack VGA monitor does the same thing. But at least I can turn that off independently when I want to lock my system. Oh, I did not have this problem in Centos 4.x. I think this is tied into the screensaver function. I have selected 'Blank screen' theme in Preferences > Screensaver. thanks for any pointers.

Trixbox 2.3beta is: Asterisk 1.4 on Centos 5.0 and FreePBX 2.3. But the team were having problems with some modules and pullled the beta for now. The trixbox repo might still be accessable. I got the ISO before they pulled it, but have had other things to do....
