Is BIND In CentOS 5.0 Broken?
by Eduardo Dela Rosa 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

Hi, I've just isntalled CentOS 5.0 in my machine; selected DNS server during the selection process. After the completing the installation, I wanted to configure my DNS server but it seemed that /etc/named.conf and other stuffs in /var/named/chroot/var/named directory are not there (i.e., *.zone, *.local, etc). Can anyone give me idea? This is the first time that I've tried CentOS; used to have Fedora Core and RHEL; but I know CentOS is a RHEL fork; just don't know what exactly the other differences are. Cheers! -- Eduardo Dela Rosa

Hi, I have just setup CentOS4 on a system and want to get "fancontrol" working.. I am able to get lm_sensors configured but when I run pwmconfig I am told there are no modules loaded.. What module needs to be loaded for pwmconfig and fancontrol to work? (Board does support PWM in the fans because fancontrol worked on this pc with Ubuntu) TIA

installing progs from source on CentOS
by Rogelio Bastardo 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

I'd like to install NagiosQL on CentOS, but I don't see a yum package for it, so I'm going to download the source code. If I download it, where in CentOS's file system (i.e. in which directory) is the best place to untar, compile, and run it? (Sorry, I've been spoiled by packages!)

Install XGL under CentOS 5 with ATI X600 and dual-head configuration
by ArcosCom Linux User 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi again. I've got a laptop with an ATI X600 inside, perfectly working xorg with dual head configuration, 2 desktops (without xinerama). I've got 2 xorg.conf files, one for propietary ATI (fglrx) driver, and other to use the open source driver. The difference is very notorious. The problem I have is that I read (Saint Google) that to work with compiz/beryl and dual-head configuration, I need to install XGL. That is why I wrote this message. Has anyone been installed XGL under Centos 6 using dual-head configuration and fglrx driver? Does anyone know links to tutorials/repositoris that I can use to install XGL? Does anyone know information on How-to configure XGL to allow the dual-head configuration use? My system is updated and is working perfectly with xorg. But I want to know how to run beryl in my system and make a mini how-to to configure it with xgl+fglrx+dual-head and send it to centos wiki. I have been reading info about the same, but under Ubuntu or FC distros, but it is incomplete or difficult to translate on Centos distro (at least for me). Thanks you for any start point (links, howtos, repositories, etc...) that help me in this documentation/configuration process. Regards === Spanish version === Hola de nuevo, colisteros. Tengo un portátil con una ATI X600 en el cuál tengo perfectamente configurado las Xorg para el uso de 2 monitores con escritorios independientes, sin Xinerama. Tengo 2 xorg.conf, uno para usar el driver propietario ATI (fglrx) y otro para el uso del driver de código abierto y, sinceramente, se nota mucho la diferencia entre el uso de uno y otro. El tema es que para que beryl/compiz funcione con el driver propietario de ATI y con 2 monitores, se ve que necesito hacerlo usando XGL. Por ello es por lo que os escribo el siguiente e-mail. ¿Alguno ha instalado XGL bajo CentOS 5 usando fglrx y 2 monitores? ¿Alguno conoce links hacia tutoriales/repositorios que pueda usar para instalar XGL? ¿Información sobre cómo configurar XGL para usar 2 monitores? Indicaros que el sistema está actualizado y está funcionando perfectamente con las xorg. El tema es que me apetece probar cómo montar beryl en el mismo y hacer un pequeño HOW-TO para 2 monitores y publicarlo o mandarlo al wiki, ya que he visto información para Ubuntu/FC6, pero o es incompleta o difícil de adaptar (al menos para mí) a Centos 5. Os agradecería mucho cualquier punto de partida que me ayude a documentarme sobre XGL y configurarlo bien para su uso con 2 monitores, ya luego veré cómo meter compiz o beryl. Salu2

Centos 5 OpenOffice 2.0.4-5.4.17.2
by Ben Mohilef 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Content-type: Multipart/Alternative; boundary="Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888" --Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888 I noticed that there are no openoffice.org-xxx-2.0.4-5.4.17.2 rpms in Centos 5 update. So I tried to build openoffice 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 (sans language packs) on a x86_64 from RH 5 source rpm. The build bombed after an hour elapsed and it used up about 10 GB of space with an error about missing java. So I just blew it off, erased the files written by the build and decided to wait until the rpm showed up in the updates. I don't want to repeat that exercise if 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 is destined to show up in the updates. If not, does anyone have any idea what java it needs (or what changes have be made to the spec file) to successfully build the rpm. Thanks for any information on this problem. --Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"/> </head> <body> <div align="left"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <span style=" font-size:10pt"> I noticed that there are no openoffice.org-xxx-2.0.4-5.4.17.2 rpms in Centos 5  update.  So I tried to build openoffice 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 (sans language packs) on a x86_64 from RH 5 source rpm.

Strange slowdown occasionally in CentOS 5.0
by Mark Hull-Richter 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

For some reason, parts of my system are now slowing down to an agonizing crawl from time to time. At first it was my VMWare Server 1.04, which became such a pain that I rebooted. Then, it looked like it was a network-induced thing because the prime culprit was SeaMonkey, particularly with multiple tabs open. I did an ifdown and ifup on my NIC and that seemed to help for a while. But then it hit OO and I'm baffled. It seems that the second time I open any document, particularly with OO Writer, the load and save times are dramatically extended - we're talking five to ten minutes. I don't even know what information I should include here that might help, but here's what I have running at the moment: OS/Hardware Config: OS : CentOS 5.0 (2.6.16-8.1.6 Linux kernel) x86_64 with latest updates CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ M/B: ECS NFORCE4M-A ram: 2GB OCZ DDR2 800 (PC6400) hds: 160MB + 120MB Maxtor PATA UDMA-133 (160 is the boot drive) sds: 300GB Seagate SATA-150/300 (/boot and / are here) 320Gb WD SATA-150/300 vid: geFORCE7100gs (nVidia) PCI-E x16 lpr: Minolta QMS PagePro 1100 laser printer on /dev/lp0 mod: Agere Systems 56k WinModem (Lucent) nic: onboard (mobo-nvidia) Any suggestions or more information needed? Thanks. mhr

CentOS5: Can't Access the Web Using Firefox Web Browser
by Robert Thompson 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Many times (not always) when I click on a URL in an email, the cursor (rotating arrow) lasts for 5-10 seconds, then nada. If I exit email to the desktop,nether the tool-bar icon, nor the Applications->Internet->Firefox Web Browser route will get me unto the web although the cursor shows a rotating arrow for a few seconds. Some other task may be executing as the hard disk is working away. Yet,I can get into Email without waiting (higher priority interrupt?). 1. Shouldn't there be a way of re-assigning priorities to the interrupts? 2. If my request has to wait, why should it be dropped completely making me re-enter the request every 5 seconds? Thanks -- Bob T.
