RE: [CentOS] OpenOffice 2.1 with CentOS 4.4 x86_64 doesn't work
by MOKRANI Rachid 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi, After some investigations, I can run Openffice 2.1 on CentOS 4.2 x86_64. The problem is the javadlx program. The first solution is to comment the line javadlx in the file /usr/soft/bin/soffice. After doing this all works fine. OR An other second solution, is to not comment the line javadlx and remove the following package /usr/bin/yum -y remove java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-27jpp.noarch After doing one of this, OpenOffice 2.1 start fine.

Backing Up A Xen Guest
by Graham Jenkins 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Here's the problem. We perform full tar backups of our CentOS 4/5 machines in real-time at regular intervals. And when a disaster happens, we are able to restore those backups onto virgin filesystems, make the /dev/null, /dev/zero and /dev/console devices .. and boot the machine. This has worked well on standalone systems, and also on Xen 3.0.3 guests on CentOS 4.4 machines, where each guest filesystem resides on regular (Xen-host) real filesystem. But there's no way we've been able to make it work for CentOS 5 Beta guests on CentOS 5 Beta Xen hosts, where each guest disk resides in a file. The strategy goes something like: * losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop0 /XenGuests/Guest1 * mkfs -t ext3 /dev/loop0 * mount -t ext3 /dev/loop0 /mnt * cd /mnt && tar xjpf /tmp/Guest1.tbz * for i in console null zero; do /sbin/MAKEDEV -d /mnt -x $i; done * cd /tmp; umount /srv/vm1; losetup -d /dev/loop0 * xm create -c Guest1 And it always gets most of the way through .. then the guest dies. Ideas anyone .. please? -- Graham Jenkins +61 3 9925 4909 Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing http://www.vpac.org/ PO Box 201, Carlton South, Vic. 3053, Australia

telnet and Gnome logins
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hello, I have a thin client user with a regular Gnome desktop that he logs into everyday. He also telnets from a remote site into the same server that provides his Gnome desktop. I know, telnet is insecure, but it's all over VPN, so it's a little better. Also, he's using telnet from Windows system. Anyway, management wants a console app to be executed when that user logs in over telnet. That's easy enough with a "exec app" line in his .bash_profile. But, that prevents gnome-session from starting when he logs into his Gnome desktop. Is it possible to do both? That is, give him his Gnome desktop when he logs in from GDM, and the console app when he logs in over telnet? The easiest solution I can think of is installing NX Client on the Windows PC and configuring it to execute a script that starts gnome-terminal with console app passed to it (gnome-terminal -x app). freenx is already installed and running on the server. Are there any other options? Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 12:29:45 up 4 days, 3:26, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.29, 0.67

how to replace files only if larger
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

I am consolidating a lot of files. I have archives of Internet drafts, from over the years. I just pulled down all the current Internet Drafts. I want to mv all my other stored IDs to this current directory ONLY if, they are larger. You may be aware that when a draft is expired, a small file is left in the directory for some time with content like: "This Internet-Draft has been deleted. Unrevised documents placed in the Internet-Drafts directories have a maximum life of six months. After that time, they are deleted. This Internet-Draft was not published as an RFC. " If I have the actual draft, I would like it to replace this little tab. But if the draft is still available, then my old archive will tend to have a newer date, as I use to grab IDs via FTP which would date my copy the date I grabbed them. I built my current directory with wget with the -m option, which perserves the original file's date... I would even be willing to do this with Nautilus, but so far it just tells me the file exists in the target directory and do I want to replace it... Thanks for any help you can provide... ============================ Just had a 'nasty' thought. By using mget -m to maintain my IDs directory, all my efforts would be for naught, as the deleted message file will have a newer date than my copy of the original draft and overwrite it. Crude. Got to think some more on this......

CentOS and EMC PowerPath/Naviagent
by Bisbal, Prentice 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Is anyone using CentOS 4.4 with an EMC Clariion SAN? In particular, I want to know if PowerPath and Naviagent will work on a CentOS 4 system connected to a san using Qlogic or Emulex cards. I tried a couple years ago with Fedora Core 1 or 2, and couldn't get the kernel modules from PowerPath to work since the kernel wasn't the official RHEL one. I'm most interested in Centos4.4/x86_64, but Centos 4.4/x86 is if interest, too. -- Prentice The contents of this communication, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Samba config for Windows on VMWare
by Mark Hull-Richter 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

I know this is a little off topic (not as usual, dammit!), but I figure at least one of y'all can handle this one. I have tried to configure my CentOS4.4 Plus desktop for samba sharing with the VMWare Windows that runs on it. However, no matter what I've done so far, I can't get the Windows to recognize this machine as a legitimate network destination. Here's my samba config file: [root@mhullrichter shared]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf # Global parameters [global] server string = Samba Server security = SHARE log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [public] comment = Data path = /home/mark force user = mark force group = users read only = No guest ok = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No It passes testparm, the smb daemons are up and running: [root@mhullrichter shared]# psg smbd root 2751 1 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D root 2752 2751 0 11:44 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D I noticed that neither the nmbd nor winbindd daemons are running - dunno why, the startup showed [ OK ]. But in the Windows, it can see my machine but can't connect to it - what am I missing?

SMP kernels and top output
by Bisbal, Prentice 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the list. This question may have come up before, but I couldn't find an answer to it by searching the centos website. Could be I was using bad keywords for my search. I have 3 HP xw9300 workstations (dual AMD Opteron 64-bit processors) that I'm upgrading from RHEL3WS to CentOS 4.4. I've upgraded two already, with one left to go. On the system with RHEL3WS, 'top' shows statistics for each processor and what processor # each process is running on. On the systems running CentOS 4.4, the output of 'top' looks like that of a uniprocessors system - there are no statistics for each processor and it doesn't show which processor each process is running on. However, /proc/cpuinfo shows the two processors. Does this mean that my OS isn't seeing the second processor, or has the behavior of top changed between the two OS versions? Is there any way that I Can verify that both processors are being used? -- Prentice The contents of this communication, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Re: [CentOS] Problems with screensavers / X config

Quick review: when I finally got the system into init 3 state, I ran the nvidia installer, it compiled the driver on host and said everything wa fine. I have no clue what the second one means or why it would be happening. The two errors are not directl connected to each other and appear with a random number and type of message in between. mhr PS: Jim, your reputation is safe and secure, at least for me. PPS: Sorry if the thread was broken here - disparity between digest mode here and individual emails at work. I'll fix this at some point, probably after I get samba to let my Windows VM talk to my disk drives....
