Latest Pidgin update problem
by fredex 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

A while back I added the pidgin repo to my yum configuration and installed pidgin. it has automatically updated itself a time or two since without trouble. but now that Pidgin 2.1.0 is out, it won't update properly. Yum finds a couple of libpurple packages to update as well as pidgin-devel, but not the pidgin package itself: --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package libpurple.i386 0:2.1.0-0.el4 set to be updated ---> Package pidgin-devel.i386 0:2.1.0-0.el4 set to be updated ---> Package libpurple-devel.i386 0:2.1.0-0.el4 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: pidgin = 2.1.0 for package: pidgin-devel --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: pidgin = 2.1.0 is needed by package pidgin-devel Anybody else seen this? It seems odd that the official pidgin repo would have 3 of the four necessary packages but not the fourth. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:3 (niv) -----------------------------

Thanks for all the input - the HPLJ4 driver "supplied by" Minolta (with CentOS 5) solved my problem. mhr

Data corruption on external hard disk
by Niki Kovacs 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5 on all my computers here (work + home) and I'm very satisfied with it. Some time ago I purchased a 300 GB external hard drive to store films, music, pictures and documents. Since there's no Windows machine around here (small South French village, town hall and public library use Linux :o)), I replaced the FAT filesystem on the disk by an ext2 filesystem. Now it's already almost full with data. A few days ago I had a problem with the subdirectory Cinema/ containing a collection of my favourite movies. I wanted to copy them from the disk to my newly purchased laptop (ASUS W6F, already running CentOS 5), when suddenly I got a read error on data. I checked in a Terminal what was going on, and the file ownerships were all curiously set, like missing read flags, no more --x rights on directories, whereas I remember I had set them right in the first place. So I started a series of recursive chmod's on the directory Cinema/... but I got nothing: the command prompt never went back. Unmounting the disk was not responsive neither, so I just shut it off. When I was performing this, it was a very hot day, almost 40°C. The disk was really very hot, so I wonder if this might have damaged it. I could retrieve some of the data on the disk (music, pictures, documents), but now, instead of the Cinema/ directory, I have one big file that looks like this: [kikinovak@buzz:/media/disk/Films] $ ls -l total 692996 -rw-r----- 1 678756852 34537972 148381783526817280 avr 28 01:01 Cinema drwxr-xr-x 3 kikinovak kikinovak 4096 mai 9 10:07 Anime drwxrwxrwx 4 kikinovak kikinovak 4096 mai 10 12:25 Series Notice that the file size is something like petabytes :oD Is there any way to repair this obviously corrupt data? Cheers, Niki Kovacs

new CentOS 5 install, 'Network is unreachable'
by centos＠swhi.net 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi all, I've a new CentOS 5 minimalist install; this will be the name server from my prior thread. I have configured eth0 during setup with the static IP the unit will have when in production. During this setup phase, selinux is set to permissive. Setting up on a different network, I did this: dhclient eth0 and successfully got a private address; I also validated that the resolv.conf file was created by the dhclient-script and it was, accurately pointing to my gateway and listing a domain name server by IP. That's where the fun stops. Even pinging an IP, so as not to rely on name resolution, I get the dreaded 'Network is unreachable' error. Any pointers would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance, ~Ray

D-Link DFE-580TX
by Rodrigo Barbosa 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Has anyone here had any experience with D-Link's quad-port ethernet NIC, model DFE-580TX ? The people from Mikrotik says it can cause systemwide lockup, but from what I have been reading around, this board seem to work ok. This is the only quad-port NIC I have found with a reasonable price, so I'm seriously considering using it.

HotPlug, eSATA, and /media
by Lamar Owen 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Ok, got a quickie. I have an eSATA drive, a 750GB Seagate in an eSATA external enclosure, and a Silicon Image sil3132 ExpressCard controller for my laptop. The disk and controller work great in CentOS 5 (or F7, for that matter), if I specifically mount it. This is not how I want to have to use this drive, however. I want to hotplug it; that is, plug the controller into the laptop, and then plug the drive into the controller, and have it come up just like a USB drive would. It does not currently do that. Anyone here know how to make an eSATA (or a hotplug SATA mobile slide, for that matter) show up in /media, and have all the nice hotplug capabilities USB drives have? That is, KDE brings up the dialog asking what to do with the drive, it can be automounted, etc. Then when going to hot-unplug, I'd use the 'safely remove' context menu entry (just like a USB drive) and it would unmount the drive and unload anything it might need to unload. Anybody have this working? If not, i'm going to figure it out, but didn't want to reinvent the wheel. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

centos 5 as p2p client
by Dave 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hello, I'm running centos5. I'm wanting this machine only, none of my other ones, to participate in p2p file sharing, bittorrent, edonkey, maybe other networks. Does anyone have a howto or step by step guide for this? I've installed bittorrent and mldonkey clients, but neither is working, i'm assuming gateway firewall issue, but i've enabled the correct ports, 6881 through 6999 redirecting to the centos box. I've not made any additions to the centos5 firewall. I've got some audio available on bittorrent network i'd like to get, and a .torrent file for it and on edonkey there's an iso any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
