Any downside to disabling hal service?
by Steve Snyder 05 May '05

05 May '05

I understand the the way to stop the constant polling of my CD-ROM drive (only used every few years to install the OS) is to disable the hal service. Is there any downside to disabling hal other that the lack of auto-insert notification? Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 4 - problem with remote X application

"JH" == Johnny Hughes <mailing-lists(a)hughesjr.com> JH> It is a feature ... really, it is (according to RH) :). JH> Here is a quote from the RH mailing list: RHML> I think by default X11Forwading is now disabled in RHML> SSH. You can either use 'ssh -X' or change it in your RHML> /etc/ssh/ssh_config. I have the following in mine: RHML> ForwardX11 yes RHML> ForwardX11Trusted yes JH> That should make it work the way you expect. Cool, cool, cool. This problem burned me a week or so ago. I figured out the ForwardX11 change, but I was too busy with the end of the semester to look into it any more than that, so never had a clue about ForwardX11Trusted. Luckily, the problem didn't seem to affect my Mac, so I've been using that as my main system. Until the start of this week, when I started having the same problems with X on my Mac after upgrading to Tiger, which was a pretty big clue, but I still wasn't sure exactly where the problem was. Johnny probably should have stressed that you need to add the ForwardX11 and ForwardX11Trusted keys on your client machine (the machine your X server is running on). Knowing about the -Y flag is also a Good Thing. Thanks!

Running CentOS on very old hardware
by Alfred von Campe 04 May '05

04 May '05

A friend has an old Pentium-133 laptop with 32MB of memory and a 1.3 GB hard disk that he wants to use as a web server for a very small community. Will CentOS (or any other RHEL derived distribution for that matter) install and run with acceptable performance on such a system, or will a specialized distribution like Damn Small Linux be a better choice? In this case, disk space is not a big concern so getting the smallest footprint is not a high priority. Alfred

Pre-i686 (PPro-P4, K6/Athlon, Cyrix M2/C3, WinChip2?) architectures take issue some applications. E.g., Red Hat, among other distros, have not bothered with pre-i686 NPTL support. There are better distros for i486 (K5, Cyrix Mx/M1, WinChip) or i586 (exactly Pentium-only) architectures than anything Fedora Core based (RHEL), SuSE Linux based (SLES/NOES), Mandrake Linux or similarly based. Although Cobind Linux is supposedly a rebuild of Fedora for older systems. And I've found it runs XFCE pretty good on as little as 48MB. I know Alan Cox used to boast he ran Fedora Core 2 (same core/packages as RHEL4) with XFCE on as little as 48MB on a WinChip2 225MHz (not sure if the IDT Centaur WinChip2 was i486 or i686 ISA compatible though). -----Original Message----- From: Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic(a)pbl.ca> Sent: May 4, 2005 10:09 AM To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] Running CentOS on very old hardware Alfred von Campe wrote: > A friend has an old Pentium-133 laptop with 32MB of memory and a 1.3 GB > hard disk that he wants to use as a web server for a very small > community.

CentOS 3.x might run on it, not sure what are memory requirements for it. RHEL 2.x would run even better. 64MB should be more that enough for CentOS4 as long as you use it as dedicated plain web server (no fancy stuff, no PHP, no databases, only static content). SSL would slow down things somewhat, but would be acceptable. If you install only basic packages (no X, no additional utilities, no development packages) the installation will take up somewhere around 500MB. -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic(a)pbl.ca> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7 _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- Bryan J.

ext3 writeback mode for root parition
by Douglas E. Warner 04 May '05

04 May '05

I'm trying to enable writeback mode for the root partition. However, adding the normal option "rootflags=data=writeback" to my grub.conf kernel line doesn't result in writeback mode (according to `dmesg`). Does anyone know of a way to enable this? -Doug -- Douglas E. Warner <dwarner(a)ctinetworks.com> Network Engineer CTI Networks, Inc. http://www.ctinetworks.com +1 717 975 9000

how to install R statistics package on Centos-4
by Allison Maury 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and interested in installing the R statistics package on a Centos-4 machine using yum, if possible. From the R website, I see that I can download an rpm for rhel 4. I don't know if the equivalent exists for Centos. I did look through the list that 'yum list available' yields and didn't seem to find a package for R. Can you recommend how best to install R? Should I install the rhel 4 binary or should I compile from source? How do I use yum to install a downloaded rpm? etc. Thanks for your help, Allison

CentOS 4 - problem with remote X application
by Petr Klíma 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hello i have a problem on CentOS 4 with starting remote x application on remote CentOS 3 od Solaris 9 boxes. The problem is: When I run it from CentOS 3 it's OK form CentOS 4 I cannot find a bad word in logs ... My local machine stoping firewall [root@klima-pc ~]# service iptables stop [root@klima-pc ~]# iptables-save [root@klima-pc ~]# SELinux is OFF I am connecting by ssh with Xforwarding enabled to - Centos 3 box [09:32 root@tux:root]# gvim --sync The program 'gvim' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'. (Details: serial 287 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) [09:33 root@tux:root]# -Solaris 9 box root@sun bin# gvim --sync Gdk-ERROR **: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) serial 364 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0 Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) serial 365 error_code 10 request_code 102 minor_code 0 root@sun bin#
