konsole failure to
by Gregory P. Ennis 05 Nov '06

05 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 04 Nov '06

04 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

CentOS on Dell Inspiron 640m laptop
by techlists＠comcast.net 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

I ordered and just received today a new Dell Inspiron 640m laptop (it also goes by the name E1405). Anyone tried installing CentOS on this laptop? It's the wireless drivers I'm most concerned about; it's got the Dell 1390 internal wireless card (not the Intel wireless). Anyone have some feedback, on the wireless or any other issues, on running CentOS on this laptop? Thanks Paul

CentOS 4.4 and other software?
by Scott Ehrlich 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

I just installed CentOS 4.4 on my laptop, having good experience with Debian, Fedora Core 5, and RHEL4. I really like 4.4's overall appearance (meshing of RHEL4 and FC5), but what I have yet to figure out is how to access repositories for applications that are not part of the default install, such as ncftp. I invoked and updated yum, but it had no idea. I would also like to see what all available kernel offerings are, and maybe various development tools (i.e. dependencies). Up2Date didn't seem much of a help, either. None of the above tools seemed to know anything about ncftp, and it has been around for at least 10 years, and is available for just about every distro, sometimes by default. Am I missing something with available packages? Thanks. Scott
