Printing Postscript - Very Weird Problem.
by Maciej Żenczykowski 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hey folks, okay, here's the situation - I have a Centos 4.2 system with cups printing installed printing via postcript (with appropriate PPD file) to a HP LaserJet 1320N printer (via jetdirect socket 9100). Everything seems to work right - except for an unusual 'font'??? problem. Many letters seem to be just slightly garbled. At first I thought this was a mechanical problem at the printer (for weeks), but just this morning I took a closer look and realized everything was too regular for it to be a mechanical failure (ink smearing or something). Anyway the problem is that the bottom non-empty scanline of _very_ many letters/digits/symbols gets transposed over ontop of the topmost non-empty scanline of the same character. This results in the following conversion (rough ascii art - note there's a lot more scanlines involved due to far higher resolution, which means this is far more invisible). | AA | | AA AA | | AAAA | | AAAA | | AA AA | => | AA AA | | AAAAAAAA | | AAAAAAAA | | AA AA | | AA AA | | AA AA | | AA AA | Any idea how to fix this? What could be the problem? How to figure out what could be causing it? It's a very good printer which has no other faults, and it's printing the above characters very crisply... (not that it matter seeing as they are bad...). Cheers, MaZe.

Huge OO.org packages installed by default
by Tim Edwards 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

I was just wondering if anyone here knows why the OO.org packages on RHEL/Centos are so huge. Eg. On Mandriva 2006: 40834529 OpenOffice.org 113064600 OpenOffice.org-libs 20124669 OpenOffice.org-help-en 19976941 OpenOffice.org-l10n-en = ~185MB On Centos 4: 683298379 openoffice.org-i18n 124072694 openoffice.org 111894560 openoffice.org-libs = ~876MB!! When I say 'installed by default' I mean that I selected the 'Office' package group during the install of both OSes and didn't make any custom package selections. Both OSes have OO.org 1.1 working fine, I'm just wondering why costs me nearly 5 times as much disk space on RHEL/Centos than it does on another distro? -- Tim Edwards

Seagate NCQ + Sil3112 (sata_sil)
by Peter Kitchener 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

All, I have a problem with a new Seagate hard disk. The problem occurs when i go to install CentOS, i insert the cd and start the boot up process, when it gets to the section where it detects the hard disks, the driver is seems crashes, the message it produces complains about no one caring about a interrupt on IRQ11. The hard disk is a Seagate 200GB 8MB SATA150 NCQ drive, on a SilliconImage 3112 PCI adapter card. Does anyone have any ideas? Regards, Peter

Quick update... On the Installing packages screen normally I see something like 15 minutes to install with this 64 bit 4000+ installing x86_64 it is posting 55 minutes. This is what I mean by slooooow.. I hope I find what the deal is soon. I check in the BIOS and saw no settings. Only enable disable motherboard devices. Jerry /

slug of zombies
by Craig White 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

after booting a CentOS 4.2 system I have a bunch of zombies... root 2828 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:41 0:00 [chvt] <defunct> My read from googling this is chvt stems from something that involves a shell. They ***may*** have been created from my attempts to start mysqld which isn't working (I will start another thread) but no efforts to kill them off are working... [root@srv1 certs]# kill 2828 [root@srv1 certs]# kill -9 2828 [root@srv1 certs]# ps aux|grep 2828 root 2828 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:41 0:00 [chvt] <defunct> How do I clean this up? Craig

Kernel Panic - Not synching Machine Check
by Vikas 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

This server was running fedora core 2 till 12/2/2005. It had an impressive uptime of 180 days or so. On friday I upgraded to CentOS 4.2. After upgrading to CentOS 4.2 this server has been throwing kernel panics every 10 hours or so. These are some of the error messages I am getting on the console: "CPU 0:Machine check exception :4 Bank 0 : f672100000000833 TSC 112180365ccf ADDR e2c7f7c0 Kernel Panic - Not synching Machine Check" This is a production server. I would appreciate any help. S

compaq r4000 32 bit and 64 bit install
by Jerry Geis 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Gents, I first installed the 32 bit version (as you might have read) of centos 4.2, after downloading x86_64 the install process/progress is about the same. going VERY slow... The screen for formatting the partitions took a LONG time (3 partitions 10 GIG, 2 GIG swap and 50 GIG). While on that screen and moving the mouse it lagged big time and could not keep up. Anyway just reporting that so far the 32 bit install and the 64 bit install is Exactly the same. So I am expecting that after install my cpu speed will still be reported LOW (997M vs a 2.4GiG for a 4000+ cpu). Any experiences out there with the 64 bit amd and maximizing speed when plugged in whould be appreciated. Jerry
