Problem with gnome
by Jean Lee 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hi all, I am using Centos 4.1 with Gnome and my updates are OK (When I do yum update, I have nothing anymore) Normally, with GNOME there's a task bar in the bottom of the screen. If we open an application and we minimize its window, it is always avalaible in this task bar. There are other things in this task bar : a button on the left which is used to minimize all the opened windows and 4 buttons on the right which are used to change the workspace. Yesterday, I had a problem with the station and I had to shut it down with the power button of the Linux station. After a restart, I had a message telling me that there were three applications which were shutted down uncleanly (I don't remember which) and know there is nothing anymore in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (it is gray). The error message doesn't appear anymore. Does anybody already had this problem ? What can I do to restart this taskbar ? Thank you for your help. Jean LEE

compatible wireless devices
by kevin.kempter＠dataintellect.com 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Can anyone recommend compatible wireless cards for desktops? Also what software/packages/etcwould I need to get the devices working? I have the centrino ipw2200 pkg running nicely on my laptop, I suspect that none of the desktop wireless cards will be this easy... Thanks in advance for any advice. ========================================== Your Mouse Has Moved. Windows must restart to affect the change(s).

RE: [CentOS] Recommendation On Ping And Alert Tool

Try OpenNMS. Nagios and Zabbix can also do historical data, although I'm not sure about SNMP. I've tried using both and by dar, I feel that OpenNMS is easier to work with. The installation of Tomcat and Java is the hardest item. I do know that OpenNMS can do SNMP. Pretty much, I give OpenNMS the IP address and it finds the common services. You may have to go in and define custom services (I had to since my Oracle servers have multiple listener ports). It will try the default SNMP string, but if you change it, there is a web form to change it. You can also enter your asset information through the web form. You can also create custom reports that can be called on the fly. Check out http://www.opennms.org for the screen shots and more information. I've been working with it for about 2 weeks and already I'm able to do more with it than Nagios or Zabbix. The only thing I liked about Nagios is the WRML graph, but I mainly want to see a status grid and that's it. --Todd -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Les Mikesell Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 2:29 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: RE: [CentOS] Recommendation On Ping And Alert Tool On Thu, 2005-09-22 at 14:21, Todd Reed wrote: > I previously used Nagios and because of the painful configurations, I found > OpenNMS.

Do any of these alternatives combine the ability to monitor current status with a grid-like display of many systems and services with notification alarms and also keep long-term historical graphs of values? I'm currently running spong for notifications/status and cacti for history/graphs, but I'd like to find something that does both with one snmp query. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'll second the recommendation of Mon. It is simple and powerful with very few requirements. Mon.cgi will give you web-based access to the status information. It also has the advantage of being written in Perl, so making minor changes to the monitoring or alerting routines is very easy. The logic to only notify once (or twice, or three times) per outage is built-in. You can also change the notification routines based on the time of day and/or day of the week. For instance, I set mine so that it doesn't bother notifying me about scheduled daily reboots of some of the servers. Bowie

Re: [CentOS] Kernel building
by Brian T. Brunner 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I've needed int0 (timer) to be sharable, and to change the basic timing interval, so I've had to modify & compile kernels from 7.1->7.3 Since the hardware had 64MB RAM as a fixed limit, stripping the kernel of unnecessary stuff was also helpful. I''ve not yet dug that far with my new CentOS.

I haven't built a custom kernel since the modular approach included everything I needed somewhere in the RedHat 6.x era. I can't think of any reason to do it other than needing to add drivers that won't work as modules. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ******************************************************************* 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.
