Re: [CentOS] Ham Radio s/w and CentOS? {including Echolink}

I think there may be a Linux distribution for ham radio, but my memory is very weak on that. Search on distro watch and maybe check out the ARRL web site and google and yahoo. There is (or was) something for PSK31, I think it was called KPSK or something, that I looked into several years ago. Maybe it's on the KDE web site. I believe there is a Linux kernel option, to enable stuff for packet or something. I wish I could be of much more help on this but I'm inactive now. 73, Lanny HK5MDT

Reg:Checking HDD Badblocks on kickstart CentOS installation
by Balaji 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Hi All, Is there a way to check the harddisk health before CentOS installation.? One way I used to do was by using --badblocks check in ks.cfg file while using RH 7.2. This is not working (atleast not with the same syntax as in RH 7.2) in CentOS. Is there an alternate (correct) syntax or is there a new (better) way to check harddisk health before CentOS installation? Please help me and it is very urgent requirement for me --Regards S.Balaji

by Indunil Jayasooriya 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Hi All, I am running CentOS5 . Yum pkg was installed by deault fresh installation. pls see below for installed yum pkgs. [root@mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep yum yum-updatesd-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 yum-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 later, I installed below pkg for protection. yum-protectbase-1.0.4-2.el5.centos Now, everything works. But, in this vershion of yum, It has no crontab running. It has a file called /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf instaed. in this yum-updatesd.conf file, by default, below 3 lines were set to no # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no I changed it to yes. Pls see below for my yum-updatesd.conf file. [root@mailgw ~]# cat /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 3600 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = dbus # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = yes # automatically download updates do_download = yes # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = yes Then, I noticed it runs all the time. Is it proper? or is there any other way to run yum. Pls note that I need to download and install all the upfdates automaticallyas I have installed yum-protectbase. Help needed. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

Lost file associations, too - urgent
by Mark Hull-Richter 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I just returned from a week's vacation and brought my CentOS 5.0 system back up, updated it, and somehow it has lost all the .doc file associations. These used to be associated with the OpenOffice writer, but that's now gone. ACtually, all the "open with" associations are gone (rtf's now think they should be opened by the text editor!). I'm not sure exactly what the association should be - can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. mhr

Linux File System w/case-insensitivity
by Al Sparks 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I used to mount some files via Samba which resided on a windows machine on a CentOS box. We moved the files to a NetApp filer, and I was unable to mount those files using either Samba or CIFS. Most of my problems with Samba were related to the (Windows?) password encryption scheme that has not been included in the Samba suite. Even if I use the mount t cifs, it didn't work. So on the NetApp filer, we switched the volume to NFS only (having the volume as both NFS and CIFS also didn't work, strangely enough), and I was able to mount the volume. Fine. But now the complaint is that the files are case sensitive, and doing searches for a particular file is problematical. So the question: Is there a file system that linux can access that's case insensitive? I guess making a LUN off the NetApp filer and formatting NTFS would work. But I thought I'd ask if there's other alternatives. Also, I think that it would have to be writable. I haven't checked, but isn't NTFS mountable read-only by linux? === Al

heartbeat-2.1.2.el5.centos is released for i386/x86_64 for both CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 in the Extras repository. We have been working very hard with the Linux-HA guys on this one. It should be working fairly well. Use this tracker for feedback on this release: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1305 Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Scripting a directory change on CentOS
by James B. Byrne 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

This is probably a FAQ item but despite searching extensively with google I am unable to find an answerer to this question. Perhaps I am using the wrong words. In any case, at the risk of inducing some mirth at my ignorance, how can one script a cd command so that that the user remains in that directory when the script exits? I have to work with a long path to a project working directory and I would like to have a simple script called "current" which would produce the same effect as issuing this from the shell: cd ./very/long/path/to/obscurely/titled/project/directory I cannot seem to find anything that directly addresses this, other than to point out that shell scripts run in their own copy of the shell interpreter and so anything done to the PWD therein is local to the duration of the script. I could create a logical link from my home directory I suppose, but I desire a scripted solution. I really do not wish to program a utility to do this and I cannot believe that many people have not already addressed this desire with a straight forward answer. So if any of you have a simple to implement solution then could you share your answer with me? As I am a digest subscriber in addition to your answer to the list the favour of a direct reply is requested Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

centos5/xen does not see all memory
by Peter Peltonen 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I have a server with 6 gigs of memory. CentOS5/Xen sees only half of it. Could someone advice me how to get it recognize all my memory? I have installed 32bit CentOS5 and I'm running kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5. This kernel should have PAE support: $ grep PAE /boot/config-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen CONFIG_X86_PAE=y But xentop reports only 3 gigs of memory: Mem: 3145148k total, 2400512k used, 744636k free CPUs: 2 @ 2612MHz If I boot with kernel-PAE-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 the system recognizes all memory but I cannot use Xen. My motherboard is Supermicro H8SMA-2 A64/Opteron with MD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ processor and 2 x 1GB ECC DDR-II SDRAM and 2x 2GB ECC DDR-II SDRAM. Regards, Peter
