YAYYY! I've passed a cognitive coherence test from somebody whose methods of presentation in e-mail are sufficiently poor that I SIMPLY DON'T CARE whether I pass his tests.

1: e-mail is a people skill, you affect people with it. The value of your presentation rises or falls with your skill at presentation. 2: My embedded headless linux targets live in isolated networks, even relative to other computer or network equipment at the target site. At times, the nearest land is 2 miles straight down (ocean floor). 3: These targets are also without anything resembling a linux-aware operator and (ipso facto) must generate NO mail and self-limiting logs of a "usually ignored' type. from the above, SELinux offers me *nothing* I need and costs me something for which there is no reward.

Okay, I give. I would like people to quantity/quality "doesn't really need it." I've really "bit my lip" on this since just after the early stuff, but it keeps coming up over and over. ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

wget
by Peter Farrow 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Dear all, It seems that wget version has had the -C (cache) option removed when it went from 1.9 to version 1.10, this happened somewhere between Centos 3.5 and 4.2. Does anyone know why the -C option was removed and how I can get it back? Other than regressing wget..... Regards Pete

PostgreSQL 8.1 on CentOS4
by James B. Byrne 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

I have discovered that the default init script distributed with pgsql v8.1 sets the listening port to 5432 but does not enable tcp/ip connections. One must add the -i switch to the invocation line in the script. I am not sure if this is an oversight or whether there is another way to tell postmaster to start with tcp/ip listening enabled that I am unaware of. However, I thought that this information might be of interest to anyone else running a non-distro version of pgsql.

I have an i810 chipset and am trying to set a custom mode. X is not taking that mode. Has anyone else run into this situation? How do I get X to take the mode on an i810 driver. Jerry

How to properly install VLC?
by Olaf Greve 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi all, My colleagues and friends from time to time send me .wmv files and I'd like to be able to view them under CentOS. VLC was recommended to me, and AFAIR about a half year ago I tried installing it. I don't remember the exact details, but I do remember that the Red Hat and Fedora binary distributions didn't work without giving all sorts of errors. I _think_ I then did a source compilation, and managed to get VLC at least to start up from the command line. However... It is still a brute text interface only, and when I try to add a wmv file to the playlist it gives me all sorts of errors and nagging about 'file format probably not supported' etc. :( I just tried to install the Red Hat binary distribution again from FireFox (from: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) and I didn't see it complain about anything, but still it doesn't work any differently from the above. :((( Does anyone know how to go about this (I don't mind doing a source compilation, just as long as I now which version to grab and how to get it properly installed)? Cheers, Olafo

Beware - Yum 3.5 to 3.6 upgrade replaces named.conf
by Michael Rock 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

You get so used to yum upgrades going so smoothly but I learned the hard way to always make a thorough inspection after a yum update. I let yum go ahead and upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6. Afterwards I made some basic queries to httpd, postfix and bind named (probably a cached query). I even checked the /var/named/ directory and saw all my hosts files. So looked like another smooth ride, well until today I noticed my domains dropped off the net. Too bad I did not check the bind gui or look at /etc/named.conf after the yum update since it was replaced with a generic version from 3.6. Luckily I copied /etc/named.conf-rpmsave to named.conf and I am back in business, well at least in 24 to 72 hours for the rest of the world :( __________________________________ Yahoo!

memoir and latex
by Sharon Kimble 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

I installed Centos 4.2 last night, I moved from Fedora Core 4 to it as I wanted to get off the distro upgrade treadmill, so I'm still learning about centos. I've been trying to add the memoir package to be used with latex but I can't find the exact right place for it. Can anyone who's installed it or knows about latex tell me please? Hopefully thanks Sharon. -- 12:50:25 up 58 min, 3 users, load average: 1.58, 1.72, 1.80 A taste of linux http://www.sharons.org.uk/taste/index.html efever http://www.efever.blogspot.com/ Centos 4.2, KDE 3.4.3-1.0, OpenOffice 2.0 Registered Linux user 334501
