Where have all the Gaim icons gone?
by Tim Edwards 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Has anyone noticed that in the latest gaim update (gaim-1.3.1-0.el4.3.i386.rpm) almost all the MSN smiley icons are not included in the package? I've reverted to gaim-1.3.1-0.el4.i386.rpm and they're all there. Is this a bug? and if not why would redhat remove the smiley icons from Gaim? -- Tim Edwards

CUPS for KDE
by Kai 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

CUPS for KDE, my printer does not work properly, it don't print all pages, misses connection with usb, etc. When I installed and configured in GNOME every thing seemed to be fine. When entering KDE it automatically adds two printers and generally brings the printer out of work. I have figured out that I am missing this support according to this link: http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/VII.cups-h… Is this correct? And where can i find this package including those files? kai

impress viewer for openoffice

Bryan, THanks for the info. Correct terminology always helps. I need to presentation files others send me. After searching google for staroffice presentation player the viewer was removed in staroffice 5.2. Crazy if you ask me.... So is there an alternative that you are aware for a presentation player?

I used to do it all-the-time. In OpenOffice.org/StarOffice 6+, you can now export a Flash presentation. It works very good, assuming you use fonts that are Flash-friendly.

Onboard RAID Tyan Transport GT24 (Thunder K8SRE s2891)
by olinux 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

I've been checking out this and like the looks of it. http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt24b2891.html I was told the onboard SATA RAID controller can only be used by windows. However, others have told me that there is no problem using it with linux. Anyone used the Tyan Transport GT24 (TYAN Thunder K8SRE s2891 motherboard)? Good choice for a CentOS server?

file system defragmentation
by Fong Vang 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

I've read in many places that file systems on Linux do not suffer the same fragmentation problems of Windows systems. No one has provided a clear explanation as to why fragmentation is not an issue for file systems such as ext2/3, reiserfs, xfs, etc. Just curious.

RE: [CentOS] Mount floppy on startup?
by Ash Christopher 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

In reality, it is because I am anal. I changed to CentOS from Gentoo, and with Gentoo, there was no /media directory. I had drives mounted to /media/music , /media/television, and so on. So, when I changed to CentOS, by habit I wanted the same structure. Now when connecting to my samba share that connects to the /media directory, I get two other directories; floppy and lost+found. I guess it isn't a big deal, but it definitely bothers me. There has to be a reason that that dir and fstab line are being added. The fact that I don't know how it works bothers me more than having those two directories =). -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Mike McCarty Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 11:59 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Mount floppy on startup?

Ah, I thought you meant that you were having mounts take place when the floppy disc was present in the drive. Why do you care if there is an empty directory?

OT: CentOS server with 2 GbE links to 2 GbE switches
by Patrick 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

Hi all, I am trying to come up with an architecture that has some redundancy. The idea is to hook up the two GbE LAN interfaces of a CentOS server to two Gigabit Ethernet switches. In case one switch goes down, there is a redundant path (the server is redundant too). Here is the idea: ----------- | GbE | PCs ------------| switch |------------ | | ----------- | | ----------------- ----------------- ---| Workgoup Switch | | CentOS/Asterisk | | ----------------- ----------------- | | ----------- | VoIP ------------| GbE |------------ Phones | switch | ----------- How would I acomplish this? Can I use IP addresses from one IP network (say 10.0.0.0/24) to assign to the 2 LAN ports on the CentOS server and a port on each of the GbE switches and then use something like OSPF on the switches and the CentOS box to do the routing? Any other ideas? Many thanks for your suggestions. Regards, Patrick
