New User: Kudos, small/old platform, RPM Illegal Instruction
by Bill Maltby 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello All! My 1st use of CentOS went well on my later eqpt. Thanks and congrats on a good product. Figured I might as well see if I could use it on some old stuff, still good but obsolete. Picked an AMD 5x86 (equivalent to a Pentium 75 MHz) and decided to see if I could make it my gateway/router. Had some difficulties, not unexpected. Old CD drive couldn't read the CDs. No boot from CD in BIOS. Floppy was broken. Memory is 36 MB. VLB MB, appx. 1 GB old slow drives, etc. Decided to plug HD into another unit and do install there. Went OK, but for some reason, all the junk I tried to turn off still appears to get started. Anyway, my problem is that RPM traps with illegal instruction when a query all, among other combinations, is attempted. It does not do it on my AMD XP, but does do it on the old one. Possible that RPM was compiled with a later arch specified? If so, is there a way to recompile it on my faster machine for execution on the older machine? Or has someone already fixed this and I can download or something? I'm relatively new to this distribution stuff (been doing LFS in the past and many other *IX things before that). I did a search using "rpm illegal instruction" of the lists, but didn't see anything that seemed appropriate. By the way, if the rc.sysinit has the swapon moved up to the front, things work OK. If not, things freeze up as mem is exhausted. Swapon does not appear to be bothered by the fact that LVM is not in control yet. Even if it is, I added another disk, set up two swap areas there and sailed on. Performance counts on a (equiv. to) P75! 8-O If all this works out, I'll try to send some money. Also, *if* I'm able, I will help test what I can. Got an old Aptiva over in the corner too. Hmmm.... am I really a candidate for this org? Maybe not?

Antivirus logging linux
by Wayne 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hey Guys, I have a network of windows clients with a couple of linux servers for various tasks. What I would like to do is have some form of antivirus on the clients that will log alerts to something on a linux server and store the info in sql. Anybody have any idea on something that can do this? I tried asking on the securityfocus virus list and I emailed grisoft about their network product. Neither proved fruitful... I want to be able to run my own custom reporting from sql on the fly basically... Any pointers would be _greatly_ appreciated as even googling doesn't appear to be helping me here... Thanks, Wayne

Can't get the gd library to work
by StarQuake 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

I have a system with FC2, with php and gd. I just installed the php package and the gd package and it works fine. I also have a system with CentOS 4.1 and installed the php package and the gd package but when I use phpinfo() I do not see the gd extension. Am I missing something? I somehow feel it has something to do with the config flags Working FC2: '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' Non-working CentOS 4.1: '--with-gd=shared' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' StarQuake -- for some how-to's and rpms visit my site : http://solid.bounceme.net for commercially supported solutions visit : http://www.robas.com

Previewing oggvorbis files in GNOME...
by Jose Alburquerque 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me a little help trying to figure something out: I presently am running CentOS4.1 with GNOME as my desktop (It runs quite well, I must say!). I just have a little curiosity: I have a few audio files (.wav, .mp3 and .ogg) and I like to "preview" them. When run my mouse over the .wav files (and mp3 files) the "previewing" function works fine, but when I try to preview an oggvorbis file (.ogg) it seems that the file is about to be previewed (because the icon changes), but no sound comes out. I noticed that nautilus (the file-manager) uses sox to play the audio files when previewing. Recently I had to add mp3 support to sox to be able to use "graveman" (a cd burning software) and I figure that's why mp3 previewing works fine for me under GNOME. I thought that the reason that ogg files do not sound is because my version of sox may not have oggvorbis support, but this is not the case because I can play them using the "play" command easily at the command line. Also when I type "sox -h" I get: sox: Version 12.17.7 Usage: [ gopts ] [ fopts ] ifile [ fopts ] ofile [ effect [ effopts ] ] gopts: -e -h -p -v volume -V fopts: -r rate -c channels -s/-u/-U/-A/-a/-i/-g/-f -b/-w/-l/-d -x effect: avg band bandpass bandreject chorus compand copy dcshift deemph earwax echo echos fade filter flanger highp highpass lowp lowpass mask mcompand noiseprof noisered pan phaser pick pitch polyphase rate repeat resample reverb reverse silence speed stat stretch swap synth trim vibro vol effopts: depends on effect Supported file formats: aiff al au auto avr cdr cvs dat vms gsm hcom la lu maud mp3 nul ossdsp prc raw sb sf sl smp sndt sph 8svx sw txw ub ul uw voc vorbis vox wav wve which let's me know that my version of sox has vorbis support. Anyone know why I can't preview my oggvorbis files in GNOME? Thanks a million. -Jose

Where have all the Gaim icons gone?
by Tim Edwards 28 Aug '05

28 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 28 Aug '05

28 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
by Jerry Geis 28 Aug '05

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?

If you want people to stop calling any presentation "Power Point" start by referring to it as a "Presentation Viewer" or more OpenOffice.org/StarOffice centric, an "Impress Viewer."

I'm serious, this is the problem in the community right now. StarImpress has been around for over a decade, and the generic term is "Presentation" not "Power Point(R)". >/ or a way to make impress startup and go into slideshow />/ mode? / You could actually build a self-contained, self-executing StarImpress slideshow back in StarOffice 5. 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?
