strange IE problem
by Melinda Odom 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi, A few of my customers are having this problem with just a few of their customers who are shopping on their stores: >>> About the problem when a user is trying to open our web, the browser will try to download something off http://www.pcgatecomputer.com. It has been tested with many different computers here. Our website will only work with system has Windows XP service pack 2 installed. It's not related to the system cache, because I just tried a fresh built system. It won't load our site at all. >>> I have the xp2 service pack so cannot duplicate the problem. This is also happening on www.bandtobow.com/catalog and if you go to www.bandtobow.com and click on the retail/wholesale link at the top the download box pops up just for some people. Everything works fine in the Firefox browser I was told by a Linux guy. This is not OS related is it?

RHEL 4 Update
by S.Tux 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

I'm not so sure if I'm asking right question so please forgive me; I have RHEL AS 4 media with me here; my company have an active subscription to RHN from for a limited number of servers only. If I add more servers more than allowed channel subscription; up2date doesn't work as you know. That's why I'm introducing CentOS to my company. Now, I just wondering, is there any way I can update a RHEL box using other means rather than RHN? Excluding the manual FTP download and manual RPM installation; is there any other source and means I can use. Again, I hope I'm asking this question safely here. Since I asked already similar question to RH mailing lists; and they arrogantly pointed me here in CentOS - well thanks to them; I found a new home and a new distro. Regards, str

problem with 4 RC1
by Ryan 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Has anyone else had this problem? On my laptop, I am currently running 3.4, no problems (runs really fast). When I formatted and upgraded to 4.0, it made it until the end, then locked up at the "preparing for first boot"..... Eventually I had to cold reboot, and it wouldn't load the kernel at subsequent boots. Back to 3.4 and working fine. I burned another set of CDs thinking it was bad media, but with the same results. Any ideas if this is a bug?

apcupsd on CentOS
by Kurt Bechstein 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Has anyone tried running apcupsd on CentOS with a usb UPS? Just curious since I'm putting together a system like this and I noticed in the apcupsd docs it say: "Linux 2.4 series kernels older than 2.4.22 do not bind the USB device to the proper driver. This is evidenced by /proc/bus/usb/devices listing the UPS correctly but it will have "driver=(none)" instead of "driver=(hid)". This affects RHEL3, among others." I noticed the latest kernel is 2.4.21.xxx for CentOS and just wondered if this was going to cause me problems. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Centos] Knowing what packages come from where in apt/yum

Looking at the output of rpm -qa --qf "%{vendor} - %{name} %{version} - %{arch}\n" on a CentOS 3.4 box, I noticed that package tora-1.3.9.2 (i386) lists the upstream vendor that shall not be named in the "vendor" field. Is this something that should be remedied? -- Marko A.

DVDs are definitely an issue, but Debian ships MP3 players in main, and the binary nVidia drivers are available from non-free[*], so someone thinks it's allowable. (I actually get my nVidia drivers from Dell's dell-nvidia packages, which use their DKMS framework to handle building them for new kernels.) Claire * The copyright file in the Debian nvidia-glx package includes a message from nVidia saying that (1) binary kernel module packages are okay, and (2) splitting the components of the upstream nVidia driver package into separate distro packages is okay. The nVidia guy goes on to say ``Please feel free to redistribute the NVIDIA graphics driver.'' -- the license file for the driver also says 2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the operating Linux system may be copied and redistributed, operating provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files). -- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Claire Connelly cmc(a)math.hmc.edu Systems Administrator (909) 621-8754 Department of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

External yum and apt Repositories and CentOS4
by Karanbir Singh 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Were looking to use yum 2.1's ability to store repository data in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as a means of pushing updates to our mirrors list. As an added feature, we want to host third party repository config in installable .rpm's into CentOS-Extras. So that enabling a new repository becomes as easy as "yum install <repo name>". Eg. 'yum install repo- dag'. Which would in turn drop the required repository information into /etc/yum.repos.d/, set the enabled flag, import the required gpg- key. We are looking for package repositories, with public access who would want to be included in this setup. All supported architecture's are welcome ( x86/ia32, x86_64, ia64, s390(x)) as well as testing ( ppc ) for yum repositories. We do have apt available on x86 and ppc, so if you have an apt repository that works with CentOS4 on these architectures, we're interested. If you run a repository or know of one which should be included : Reply to this post here with details or send me an email. There are a few things that we ask for. 1) The repository must be complete in itself or require no more than the CentOS4 base and CentOS4 updates to pull required dependencies. 2) All packages in the repository must be signed. And the key available via public key-servers. 3) You must have both meta data ( via createrepo ) as well as the Header info ( via yum-arch ) available. And lastly, I need some recommendations on what to call these .rpm's repo-<Repository Tag>.<ver>.rpm is one option. - K
