Best way to have Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 on Centos 4.4?
by M. Fioretti 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Greetings, I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server. I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix. Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which way you think is the best way to do this. By "best" I mean the way which: * has no known issues, gotchas, extra configuration tricks... * has as little extra dependencies as possible * can be maintained/upgraded with yum Thank you in advance for any feedback!

Is installonly option needed?
by Bowie Bailey 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I just updated to the most recent version of yum. I noticed that my yum.conf file had changed. The old one has: installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-devel kernel-smp-devel kernel-largesmp kernel-largesmp-devel kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-devel The new one does not have this option listed. I don't remember if that was a default setting or if I added it in. Do I need that line to be there? I noticed that without it, yum will perform an update on kernel-hugemem-devel and kernel-smp-devel. Is this a problem? Thanks, -- Bowie

Re: [CentOS] Re: KStars on CentOS 4.4?

Scott: This is going to be a huge *LEARNING* experience for me! :-) Many *newbie* questions here: Will it be better for me to get KStars only, from the KStars web site, which comes with a warning (see below), or from Fedora, which is much closer to CentOS? The problem is that it normally is inside the KDE Edutainment RPM and if I get it from Fedora, it will probably be inside that. If I get the KDE Edutainment SRC RPM from Fedora, which version of Fedora should I get it from for CentOS 4.4? (You wrote FC6 for CentOS 5). The kdeedu RPM is not on the CentOS 4.4 DVD. I'm assuming it's not on the CentOS 5.0 DVD, but I don't have that yet. If I'm able to make an RPM for KStars only, I would not plan to install kdeedu later. However, I suspect there may be dependency issues, with other KDE stuff, etc. There is *no* way I will be able to get my wife to use CentOS on her box, if she cannot use KStars! Even my 6 year old daughter wanted to use KStars last night, so her box is another demanding KStars user.

Sound setup on ASUS laptop (Intel High Definition soundcard)
by Niki Kovacs 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi, I just got a brand-new ASUS laptop, a W6F light laptop. So far I managed to get everything to work (wireless, X, ...). The only thing that stubbornly refuses to work is the sound. Here's the sound card: # lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) I googled quite a bit for this. Some folks suggested to put an addition options line in /etc/modprobe.conf. Here are some of the suggestions: options snd-hda-intel model=asus ... or: options snd-hda-intel model=asus-laptop ... or: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=asus I tried all these (and duly rebooted after each attempt), but to no avail. Usually, to test the sound, I open a terminal and try to play one of the test sounds in /usr/share/sounds/alsa with the command-line 'aplay'. Anyone got that sound card to work? Any suggestions? I'm quite clueless. Cheers, Niki

drive to standby after idle timeout?
by Brian 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I'd like to to put the hard drives in standby mode during periods of no activity. I'm just running a file server plus a couple small things on a Qube 3 from home, although the web stuff will increase it's still minimal. On my NetBSD systems I can use atactl to do this via: mount -u -o async,noatime,nodevmtime / mount -u -o async,noatime /usr atactl wd0 setidle 5 [wait a time] # atactl wd0 checkpower Current power status: Standby mode I looked at smartctl but it doesn't look like I can set idle time with it, just readout status and perform self-tests. Is there a way? Thanks! Brian

EPEL Packages announcement
by redhat＠mckerrs.net 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Just received a fedora email with the following announcement. Seems interesting; =================================== If you use enterprise-class Linux (EL) distributions derived from Fedora, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, we have something very exciting for you. Ever find yourself rebuilding one of the high-quality Fedora packages for your EL version because it didn't ship with the EL distro? Friends, there is a new way. May we introduce ... Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) EPEL is a community of package maintainers working from inside of Fedora. Many are the same people who maintain the Fedora version. Yet, there room for new packages and contributors. Currently, around 1000 packages are available, and we've been growing at the rate of several dozen packages every week. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL How to use EPEL: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse You can look for packages here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#WhereIsTheSoftwareRepositoryLocated Looking for a package not in EPEL or other questions? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ ==================================================== -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Vmware on Centos 5
by redhat＠mckerrs.net 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I'm sure there are people running server 1.0.3 on centos 5, what I'd like to know is, if you are using it then; are you using a 64bit centos 5 host ? are you using core-2 duo cpu ? and if so, are you suffering from any guest clock/time issues ? I've read the vmware timekeeping pdf and tried all of their 'workarounds' and none seem to work. I'm suffering these issues on a ubuntu box running 7.0.4 but I'm looking for an excuse to migrate to centos 5 for this particular server. Hopefully there are already a good number of people running 64bit with large quantaties of RAM (>=4g) Cheers. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

This looks like it might be much easier way for me (a newbie) to get KStars onto CentOS boxes. After my very long reply to Scott, this is a short one! I *will* investigate! Lanny
