yum repository for Mplayer and Codecs?
by Jeffrey B. Layton 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Good morning, I've looked around a bit for a yum repository for Mplayer with all of the codecs. Does anyone know of a repository? (I admit I'm being a little lazy this morning :) ). Thanks! Jeff

Screen blanking

I have a couple of LCD monitors attached to Centos servers, I would like to be able to watch the logs on the monitors but after a while they go blank. How can I disable this?

re: [CentOS] memory leaking?? kernel problem?
by me＠prestoncrawford.com 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

I would think someone would have noticed this in RHEL or CentOS if it was a pure kernel problem. What all are you running in the way of daemons? Something there could be to blame, no? Also, if the servers are identical in terms of software and hardware, have you considered a memory check? When I made the switch from Windows to Linux I discovered something interesting. Since Linux caches memory (as you probably already know) sometimes you are more likely to find out memory is defective on Windows than Linux, especially if the defect is at the end of the RAM, if that makes sense. The first time I experienced this was with a computer that originally ran Windows. Since it never touched the full 768mb I never had a problem. I switched to Linux and it started crashing immediately. I blamed it on Linux, but then ran the memory test and found out that what was happening is that Windows never used enough memory to touch that spot of bad RAM. But Linux did, caching it all then crashing. Maybe a longshot, but just in case your hardware and software configurations are identical (because you did mention two machines) it might be worth considering.

CentOS grub.conf
by Maciej Żenczykowski 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Just updated my kernel via yum and # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.0 (Final) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant) needed the second line to install HP drivers and left it there for any other packages which might need it. just generated the following in grub: title CentOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-11.EL) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-11.ELsmp) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img title CentOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-11.ELsmp) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.ELsmp ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.ELsmp.img so they're obviously a ' sed "s/ release .*//" ' which should be replaced with sed "s/ release .*//" | head -n 1 i believe this is in /sbin/new-kernel-pkg in mkinitrd-4.1.18-2 on line 132: title="$(sed 's/ release.*$//' < /etc/redhat-release) ($version)" which IMHO should be: title="$(sed 's/ release.*$//' < /etc/redhat-release | head -n 1) ($version)" Cheers, MaZe.

I upgraded to 2GB RAm on my laptop. Windows boots fine and memtest86 shows no error. However when I try to boot my the boot proces stops beyond the udev [ok] prompt. Suse 9.3 is working fine. Any ideas about what I need to do to fix this. Anand

Is it running at 1000Mbps or 100Mbps? If the former, get the nForce package and switch to the "nvnet" driver.

Update 4.1 ISO's and JIGDO
by Maciej Żenczykowski 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

When the update 1 iso's come out could jigdo templates also be released along with the bittorrent files? It would probably save a lot of bandwidth if bittorrent could be resumed on iso's rebuilt via jigdo from vast swathes of the iso's which most of us already have (the 4.0 packages and updates). Cheers, MaZe.

Tyan S2895 -- nForce Pro 2200+2050 Just know that the pre-sale evaluation was of the nForce4, and didn't take the nForce Pro 2200 and 2200+2050 designs into consideration. E.g., the nForce Pro 2200 has 1.0GBps (2) PCI-X 1.0 channels. Any off-chipset NIC is typically connected to those, so there is not the same bottleneck as a legacy 0.125GBps PCI channel like on the nForce4. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Tyan K8SE (S2892) / nForce Pro Experiences
by Kirk Bocek 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Has anyone installed Linux (CentOS or other) on a Tyan K8SE (S2892) motherboard? I'd really like to hear your experiences -- with this board or Nvidia's nForce Pro chipset in general. I'm looking to build a new server using this board but would like to find some other experiences first. I've googled myself blue but haven't found any reviews or postings regarding this motherboard and Linux.
