Booting stopped / System unable to recognized the form of picture - error
by Shameer Khadar 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

Dear All, After updating the CentOS system with: yum update,booting of my machine seems to be halted - I am getting the error "System unable to recognized the form of picture of '/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/background.png'" I noticed this last week, I thought it will be alright with next update, I update once again using yum tonight. But the issue is still there.(this is not a specific update, inorder to update the OS, we used to update CentOS using yum update). I am able to login to the machine from another machines and httpd is also running, but Booting is halted and am not able to login directly. Webserver is up and working fine. I googled about the issue, it seems like bug in RHEL4/CentOS. I am not expert to fix such system related issues. Can you please tell me how to solve this issue. I am pasting few links that points to solution to same problem from RHEL and CentOS (Hope this will save your time) http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1666 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229073 http://www.nabble.com/%22There-was-an-error-loading-the-theme-Default%22-t8… PS.In one of the earlier thread it is suggested to remove duplicate packages , it will be great if any one help with a command to do the same. I tried the softlink option explained in the last mail but didnt worked for me and I removed the softlink. Thanks in advance, -- Shameer Khadar

kernel-devel largesmp or ELlarge?
by Gordon McLellan 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

I'm having trouble updating my iscsitarget modules, and it seems to be related to a naming convention mixup? here's the output of the build command: [root@vmhost ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild --sign iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm Installing iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-devel = 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge is needed by iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.x86_64 here's everything my system knows about kernels: [root@vmhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep kernel kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.83 kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL kernel-largesmp-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL iscsitarget-kernel-smp-0.4.14.78-2.amherst_2.6.9_42.0.8.EL kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL the kernel I'm currently running: [root@vmhost ~]# uname -a Linux vmhost 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 09:59:08 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux kernel-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge doesn't seem to exist. but I did find kernel-largesmp-devel, but that didn't help I'm not sure I need to run the largesmp kernel, but it does seem to gain me an extra gigabyte of ram when I run the "free" command. This box has a single quadcore xeon and 16 gigs of ram in it. Any thoughts or suggestions from the list? Thanks, Gordon

Hop from FC
by Mike McCarty 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I'm most likely going to make the hop from FC to CentOS in the next several months, and wonder whether I should wait for CentOS 5. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} Oppose globalization and One World Governments like the UN. This message made from 100% recycled bits.

Really small Linux and NAS
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I have a really nice, old Libretto 110. Only 64Mb memory. I want to put Linux on it and have a network monitoring system and a traveling NAS. But all of the NASs have seemed to have grown beyond their original 64Mb size (FreeNAS now needs 128Mb). Only thing I have found is: http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8289526009.html Talking about Unbutu 6.0 and the 'Server' install that can run in 64Mb and provide NAS. Any pointers?

Create CD from avi files
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I have avi files in xVid format from my Camera, and I want to create a Video CD that can be viewed on any CD player. I have searched through the various repos (including rpmforage and kbsingh) and did not find anything that would burn. I have a number of programs that have no trouble displaying these files. Including xzine, Avidemux, and VideoLAN-Client). I unfortunately have to make these CDs for tomorrow morning, 8am for my wife to take to her class....
