I turned on the auto hide of the TOP panel on gnome desktop. I does hide but I still see like 2 or 3 pixel lines of the panel??? How can I completely hide the top panel? I tried change the number of pixels in the panel it always still shows a couple pixel lines. I have a dell inspiron 8200 laptop. THanks, for any suggestions. Jerry

NCP, nprint and ncpfs
by JC 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hi everyone, I tried to use yum to search for ncpfs-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm, but it couldn't find it. I googled and found this package is included with redhat,but i'm not sure if it's included with CentOS 4.2. Any idea where I can find and install it using yum? Thanks JC

fatal rpm/cpio error
by Akop Pogosian 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

How am I supposed to deal with this error? # rpm -Uvh filesystem-2.2.1-3.centos.1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:filesystem ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home: cpio: chown failed - Operation not permitted # rpm -q filesystem package filesystem is not installed # ls -dlL /home drwxr-xr-x 301 root root 8192 Nov 2 18:25 /home /home mounted from NFS server. Of course, I could unmount /home to install this. But I have many machines like this one and /home can't always be unmounted when we do updates. I personally feel it's a bug in filesystem package. rpm shouldn't blow up like that because of this issue. -akop

postfix and dovecot package with mysql support?
by Erick Perez 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Where can I get the src.rpm for the postfix and dovecot package and rebuild to add mysql support? The postfix and dovecot package for centos4 does not come with mysql support and I cant find the .src.rpm on the 4 CDs I have for CentOS4. Also, what parameter should I add ? rpmbuild --rebuild --with MySQL ? or something else? Thanks, -- ------------------------------------------- Erick Perez Linux User 376588 http://counter.li.org/ (Get counted!!!) Panama, Republic of Panama

by Jerry Geis 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hi, I have already installed 4.2 on my laptop, I only chose GNOME at install time. I now need to use up2date to install kde (I wish to install twinkle softphone). What is the correct way to do that. I did: up2date kde* up2date -u kde* up2date -i kde* It printed a listing of the packages but did not install them. Thanks, Jerry

Bother
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

This afternoon, after my fiasco with the other machine, I decided to bring the drive home and install it in the primary machine here, boot from the normal drive, then mount the 4.1 i386 drive so I could make changes and check things. What happened next was totally unexpected. After decompressing the kernel and starting the boot, there were all kinds of error messages scrolling off the screen, and so fast, I could not see what it was all about, but the boot halted at some point. After seeing that, I decided maybe it was not a good idea after all, but I'd done the same thing with an i386 version 3.5 with no problems. Is there some reason why I should not be able to boot from my normal drive, CentOS 4.2 x86_64, but still have the 4.1 i386 version on a secondary drive, even tho it was not automounted? Also, while on the subject, I found out that a FreeBSD drive is not mountable under Linux. It recognized the drive as a Sun ufs drive. Don't suppose there is any way around that problem is there?

Sendmail
by Sam Drinkard 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

I know this is a "generic" question, but fully CentOS related. I attempted to set up i386 v.4.1 on my primary computer at the co-located site, and thought I had everything squared away till I discovered the machine was refusing mail connections. AFIK, I had no firewall or other objects blocking port 25. It has been my experience that with most arch's and versions where sendmail is the stock mta, they always seem to work out of the box with no tweaking at all. I have got to get this set up but will do it on a test machine rather than the production machine. Between that prblem and the changes between bind 8 and 9, I was dead in the water from the outset. Back online with the BSD machine for the time being. Any reason why mail connections would be refused ? (yes sendmail was running too) Thanks.. Sam

Re: [CentOS] Putting nat routing into place permanently? -- service iptables save

Visibility aside, isn't rc.local much too late for setting up iptables? My /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ has an S08iptables and an S10network, then lots more, including an S99local, and then after all this, rc.local is run. By this time, the network has already been up. It seems to me that if you want to do some iptables setup, it must be done before S10network, or it leaves a short-time security hole. Personally, I set up the iptables I want and then do service iptables save If I was worried about changes, I guess I'd modify S08iptables to check that nothing has changed, or add an S07checkiptables script. (This is my first post to this mailing list, so I hope I've done it correctly.) -- Dale Dellutri
