Lstat & Dovecot
by Dave J. Hornford 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

I am chasing a problem with dovecot generating an error: lstat(/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/[domain dir]/[user dir]/Maildir/cur) failed: Permission denied I first tried making the directory world readable, same error. Them tried to lstat [the path] at the console and receive the error: lstat: command not found I have a manpage on lstat, but no file. "Yum provides" showed the manpages, but no rpm I could find What rpm is it in? (Or, have I started down a path that doesn't involve this application & Dovecot isn't clear) Thanks Dave

konsole failure to
by Gregory P. Ennis 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Everyone, I am evaluating Centos to be for the purpose of using it as a server for a database. I doubt that I will use anything but run level 3, but am looking at the gui tonight. I am having difficult using konsole with the same scripts that I have used on FC4, FC5, and FC6 with success. I am executing this command from a Desktop link konsole --vt_sz 80x25 --profile smile with smile being a profile stored in the user's .kde subdirectory The above command had to be modified to include the path to pick up the profile called 'smile' konsole --vt_sz 80x25 --profile /home/admin/.kde/share/apps/konsole/profiles/smile However, although including the path allowed konsole to get to the profile called smile, a logon script named head in 'smile' was not executed. Args0=/bin/bash,-c,/usr/local/bin/head Args0=/bin/bash,-c,head Both of the above failed to execute 'head' but head could be executed from the command line and functioned as expected. Any ideas?

page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x50
by Steve Bergman 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Just because I've been pulling my hair out for over a month about this problem, I'd like to get it into the archives. When copying large files (multigigabyte) on a CentOS 4.4 4GB Xeon (running 32 bit) server (2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp), I was getting: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x50 (snip lines and lines of debug output) This was accompanied by a huge swapout storm that brought the system to a near standstill. Also, it could trigger OOM-Killer activity. Setting /proc/sys/vm/lower_zone_protection to 150 seems to prevent the problem. (It's not been long enough that I'm *certain* that it's fixed but it seems to be.) The upstream bug report is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149088 Hope this helps someone someday, because I had a heck of a time finding an answer. -Steve Bergman

Firefox Tab Cycle Plugin?
by David Mackintosh 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi folks, I thought I saw a comment on this list a ways back about a firefox plugin that would make a browser automatically cycle through the tabs it had loaded. We'd like to use this to load some monitoring systems in tabs, and then have the browser cycle through them so we have a poor-man's status display station. Does anyone know more specifics about this plugin I think I heard about? Thanks. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | Public Key: dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com/dave/gpg.html $ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 4C032504 Mystery attachment? http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/GPG
