OpenOffice startup help
by ryan 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

I am using OpenOffice Quickstarter ( http://segfaultskde.berlios.de/index.php?content=oooqs ) to help speed up the loading of open office 2.0 when using KDE. Also, I've told KDE to issue the command oofromtemplate -invisible by putting it in a simple script in .kde/Autostart For some reason, when oooqs has the settings below (screenshot link - http://users.zoominternet.net/~ryanag/oofficeqs.png ) everything works perfectly. Open Office loads from a cold start in about 3.5 seconds. When I don't use the oooqs, the script does not work - it prevents open office from loading. Does anyone have any idea what oooqs is doing that makes my script work? Since I'm using Open Office 2.0 I don't expect to find anything in the official Red Hat docs.

Selecting a compatible motherboard
by Todd Cary 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

One of my servers is not compatible with Centos 4, so I want to replace the motherboard with a compatible one. I came across this site and would appreciate any comments on whether I can rely on selecting a board that is listed as compatible with Unix? http://www.dealtime.com/xPP-motherboards--asustek~V-rows For instance, the ASUS P5P800 Motherboard? Thank you.... Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

sg device
by Tony Schreiner 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

What is the "sg" device? The reason I ask, is that I have a file server running CentOS 4.2 on a Dell Precision 1650. Disks are attached via QLogic FC. I backup to a Qualstar TLS-4222 tape changer, with AIT-2 tapes, which is connected over an Adaptec 29160 Ultra 160 SCSI. The software I'm using is Legato Networker version 7.1.2. I'm backing up a bit under 1 TB a month with this. Quite frequently these days (meaning once a month or two), the Networker software loses the ability to control the tape changer. Mount, unmount commands just don't work any more. The only way I can seem to fix it, is to use the Networker admin software to remove the robot, and tape device, and then recreate it with the Networker jbconfig command. The jbconfig command detects the Qualstar, and then detects /dev/sg3 as the tape device. Now Networker can use this device to move tapes around in the robot, but not to read and write. So I have to delete / dev/sg3 from the Networker configuration, and then add /dev/nst0. And then it works (for a while). So I'm wondering, why the software is setting me up with /dev/sg3 instead of /dev/nst0; and is there anything I can do about it. Bonus question if anyone else had a similar issue. Thanks, Tony Schreiner Boston College

Anyone here install Java Studio Creator with CentOS 4?
by Preston Crawford 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

I tried yesterday. During the install it yacks at trying to install the application server that comes with Java Studio Creator. Complains about lacking libstdc++ or compat-libstdc++ or something like that. Anyone see this or know what to do about it? I ask here in case there is some trick to getting a piece of software (that's obviously looking for one version of libstdc++) to see what's installed. According to this page (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/docs/Start…) it works with RHEL 2.1. What changed so drastically in this regard between there and here?

Anyone run lighttpd + fastcgi + PHP?
by Preston Crawford 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

I have a website that needs to run Squirrelmail (which is PHP based), but I'd like to get it feeding into Ruby on Rails as well. I'm looking at lighttpd because it seems to be easier to get it integrated with Rails. I'm curious, though, how difficult it is to get PHP running with it in this configuration. Overall lighttpd seems to be pretty easy to use. However, it looks like I may have to recompile PHP. I was curious to see if anyone has done this with CentOS or if there are RPMs out there in the world that would allow me to avoid this. Preston

Post postinstall configuration
by Matt Lawrence 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

I'm building kickstart files for use in doing automated installs of various systems. I would prefer to do fairly minimal amounts of work in the "%post" and postpone further installation and configuration until after the first reboot (or even later). It should be easy enough to add something to rc.local that will download scripts and run them, but I'm wondering if there is a preferred technique. I haven't found anything in the Red Hat documentation I've read so far. This isn't about figuring out a way to do the update, it's about trying to follow the "Law Of Least Astonishment". I've dealt with too many really screwed up systems that had customised stuff everywhere and nothing worked as expected. Suggestions? -- Matt

Netcell RAID cards
by Ugo Bellavance 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

Hi, Anyone tried netcell products on Centos 3 or 4? They claim driverless operation under WinXP, but in linux the only doc that is related with CentOS would be the Fedora core 2 (http://www.netcell.com/support/Fedora_Core2_readme.txt) and requires a kernel rebuild. I'd like to know if it would be possible to install CentOS directly on drives on such a card, without needing a build box... http://www.tomshardware.com/2003/11/28/kill_scsi_ii/ Regards, -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail.
