Ssoundblaster audigy and alsamixer
by Lorin B Pino 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I have an interesting problem. I have no sound through the sound card, but I can use the onboard sound ok. The reason I have no sound is that the slider for "audigy analog/digital output jack" is missing in the gnome mixer. The label is there, and a mute box are there, but no sliders. When I bring up alsa mixer in the console, there is a box for a slider, but no slider. According to soundcard detection, the module "snd-emu10k1" is installed. If I switch the speakers to the headphone jack, I can get some sound, although it is with a lot of static. This is a dual boot machine with suse 9.2, so I know the card works. Any ideas? ~Lorin

Hi all, is there a fix for the clock running slow on Centos 4.3, it looks to be running at about 25 to 30% of its normal speed. Thanks Gary.

newbie kernel question
by Nick Smith 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Im sorry if this is a newb question, but how do you recompile the kernel in CentOS 4.3? I need to add reiserfs support (even though the setup detected it) the kernel it gave me didnt have support for reiserfs, and my entire fileserver is all reiserfs. I tried the gentoo way, which im use to and it bombed. What do i need to do? does it install kernel source by default? I couldnt find any good documentation on the subject, and this is my first RH type install. thanks Nick

CentOS 4.3 occasionally locking up accessing IDE drive
by Bart Schaefer 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

For those who haven't seen my several previous postings about problems with this (now not quite so) new PC, I have an ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The boot drive and primary filesystems are on an SATA disk and I'm having no problem with that. However, I recently plugged in a couple of IDE drives salvaged from my old PCs and I'm running into trouble with one of those. The drive in question is a 20GB Maxtor 92049U6. It had an old RH5.2 ext2 filesystem on it when I first plugged it in, from which I tried to recover some data to back up to CD. Mostly this worked, but I started encountering read errors accessing some files so I unmounted the partition and started a fsck on it. At some point during the fsck (I was off doing something else on another workspace at the time), the system locked up hard, leaving the disk activity LED lit. I had to reset the PC. So at that point I booted single-user and ran the fsck from there. It completed successfully after fixing a number of problems. I continued into multi-user mode, finished doing my backups, repartitioned the drive, and started "mkfs -t ext3 -c" on the larger partition, to check for bad blocks. Again at some point part way through the mkfs, the system locked up. Back to single user mode, run the "mkfs", everything finishes fine. Back to multi-user mode, start to copy some large files onto the drive. MD5 sums fail to match for some of the copied files. Unmounted and started up "fsck -y". This succeeded, after fixing a number of errors, so (at this point just as a test case) I re-copied the files with bad MD5s. Some of these came through OK this time, others still did not. I decided perhaps this meant there were still bad blocks on the drive that a read-only test was not finding. You'd think I'd have learned, but encouraged by the success of the previous fsck I optimistically started up another "fsck -c -c -y" on the suspect partition, and this time I waited around to watch it. About 1.6GB into the 16GB partition, the system locked up again. This time I booted into a hard disk diagnostic program instead of into CentOS. After running overnight last night, a non-destructive read-write surface-scan reported no problems with the drive. This leads me to suspect that the problem is with linux, but I don't know how to proceed with diagnosing it. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Delay in SSH login..
by siva m 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hi, I have CentOS 4.3 running on my AMD Athlon XP(32 bit) PC and Windows 2000 running on my other Intel P3 PC(These 2 PCs are connected using a network switch). Basically I use the one running Linux as back end server and everything was fine so far. But recently I am experiencing some delay in loggin in to CentOS through SSH. The Putty client which I use generally opens up asking for username prompt(no delay in that) but after entering the password it takes atleast 10-15 seconds gap before I logged in. It was fine before and I am sure I didn't made any changes to linux configuration. Can anyone please help me with this issue. By the way I always use the IP address like($ ssh user(a)192.168.0.xxx without any hostname) thanks Lin

Vmware server on centos x86_64server
by Les Mikesell 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

I had this working once but had to re-use the machine and didn't keep track of what it took. Does anyone have a list of the extra packages needed to run vmware server on a machine with the single-disk x86_64 server install + updates. glibc.i686 installed ok, but xorg-x11-libs.i386 has a conflict with fontconfig that I don't recall from the previous time. Could that have changed with the 4.3 updates? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
