New to CentOS, miss Grip
by Dick Roth 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hi there-- Just installed CentOS 4 the other night and can figure out how to install Grip. I can't seem to satisfy the dependencies. Has anyone had success? Is there a reason why Grip isn't part of the distro that I should know about? My old distro was FC2. This was a wholesale installation and not an upgrade. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dick -- Pithy saying goes here: (future).

Re: [CentOS] apple to Intel
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 07 Jun '05

From: William Warren <hescominsoon(a)emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com> > I am wondering what the list's opinion is on the Apple to Intel > switch. It means that IBM thinks like a foundary, not like a PowerPC partner. Let's face it, for Sony and Microsoft, they make millions of units of the exact same product. For Apple, they are wanting multiple products with 1/10th the volume. So this wasn't a surprise, especially with Intel courting Apple since '03. It also explains why Apple didn't go AMD, even though they were using HyperTransport for I/O interconnect on the PowerPC 970/G5 (although not the full NUMA/HyperTransport that A64/Opteron does). AMD can't offer the "preferred status" deals/margins that Intel can. > This is going to put a slick desktop that runs on top of > BSD directly into the mainstream. Well, I always thought Apple was mainstream. It's still not a PC. It won't run on all PCs. That's fine, I always liked Apple's designs more. If they become the economies-of-scale competitor to Dell, that's fine with me -- and I'll even pay 20% more than Dell for them. In fact, I hope to God that Apple's firmware ends up being a standard approach that replaces the God awful PC BIOS. Even if Apple won't ever open it up so MacOS X runs on regular PCs, at least it will be nice to see a good firmware on a PC platform for once! (God I hate the PC BIOS compared to countless other platforms!) > What does this hold for Linux in general, Linux on the desktop..and > microsoft. It means that you'll be able to tri-boot. And if Apple does as good of a job on the new PC firmware that they did on their PowerPC, then multi-boot geometry/conflicts are a thing of the past. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Autorollback Patches for CentOS 4 RPM
by Sam Hart 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hi all, For anyone interested, I have just ported James Oden's Autorollback/Autorollback-goal RPM patches to the version of RPM present inside of CentOS 4. The patched RPMs, SRPM and raw patches can be found online here: http://hackers.progeny.com/~sam/RPM-Autorollback/ Specifically, you can find those for CentOS 4 here: http://hackers.progeny.com/~sam/RPM-Autorollback/#wherecentos4 One of the goals of the AR/ARBG patches is to prevent failed RPM transactions from leaving a system in an unusable state. They were designed with Carrier Grade Linux in mind, but I'd wager there could be applications elsewhere. These are the patches taken from RPM's CVS and ported into the CentOS 4 version (4.3.3). Any questions, comments, feel free to send them to me off-list. -- ''''''''''''''''''''''''' .O. Sam Hart, sam(a)progeny.com ..O Progeny Linux Systems, Inc OOO <http://www.progeny.com/>

dragging windows leaves traces
by Robin Mordasiewicz 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

I have an excellent nvidia graphics card, I get excellent fps, all agp features are installed correctly etc. When I drag windows around wit hthe opaque settings on it leaves traces for a couple milliseconds as it redraws the window, but it just looks so crummy to see. I am having a hard time convincing people that using linux is a good idea. People make judgements on this type of thing and they think that linux is slow compared to Windows. When I had windows installed on this same machine dragging windows around did not produce any traces. Using linux on the desktop looks like a throwback to windows 95 on a 486. Does anyone have any advice on how to make X redraw windows better. --

Hi, >> Are there any easy to use snmp(mainly temperature monitoring) >> tools around for Centos -4? This is on a Dell sc420 server. I use 'lm-sensors' on the assorted servers I admin. Things like CPU temp, FAN speed, Volts etc. Works on dual CPUs nicely too. You may need to compile a kernel with support for the on-board sensor chip. Use 'sensors-detect' to find out. I think you can then use 'sensord' to rig up mrtg or something similar. HTH. Regards, Rudi. -- -- Internet Media Productions

Re: [CentOS] Re: dragging windows leaves traces -- running older GeForce drivers on newer cards
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 06 Jun '05

From: Robin Mordasiewicz <robin(a)bullseye.tv> > [root@zephyr config]# cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status > Status: Enabled > Driver: NVIDIA > AGP Rate: 4x > Fast Writes: Enabled > SBA: Enabled > I get more than 9000FPS running glxgears so the card is doing well. Hmmm, interesting to see both Fast Writes and Side Band Addressing working. Traditionally nVidia has been very conservative. Maybe we'll see a larger performance boost yet! Is this the new 1.0-7xxx series driver? If so, which revision? > I mean by showing the window contents while dragging. As another poster said, if it's the brand new 1.0-7xxx series driver, there were reported performance issues with moving windows. Have you updated to 1.0-7664 (past buggy 1.0-7174)? [ 7664? Wow, that's a lot of builds in a short period of time! ] -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

yum setup help and extra repos including centosplus
by Robert Hanson 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

greetings recently i asked a question and i was directed to the possibility that a certain fully enabled compiled kernel for CentOS 4 might help me. so, i am looking at http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt and wondering how to cover all bases.... can i cover all bases if i put an *blanket* package(s) exclude in /etc/yum.conf ? or do i have to put package(s) exclude in every config file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory ? specifically, the CentOS-Base.repo file. do i put it at the top and then it will be in effect for all sub-repos in that file?? at the top of the CentOS-Base.repo only? :) i realize that i can do it as a command line switch yet then my brains will fall out trying to remember everything. regards and tia for any clarification. - rh
