Re: Nvidia Drivers
by scty Library 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Well, I figured it out all. The problem was the AGP driver, Not the Nvidia driver. When I set the Option "NvAGP" "1" it works fine. By setting this option to 1, it tells the kernel to load the agp module made by nvidia not the Generic Linux kernel which is AGPGART. Something else I discovered is that the AGPGART module isn't even loading when the kernel boots. For some reason the CentOS-3 installer won't install that module when I install the distro on a computer using an Nforce2 motherboard. It does installing it on my Home computer which is running an Nforce1 based motherboard. Well thats all folks, I just wanted to give all the solution I found. --- scty Library <sctylib2004(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > When I load the latest driver from Nvidia in > CentOS-3 > the logon screen turn light gray and I can't log in. > > Has anyone else had this problem? > > If so what did you do about it. > > If I use the driver that comes with CentOS I don't > have any problems. > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

Ethereal is cooking, thanks

Just blanked on it. Thanks. It seems so obvious, as soon as Denis mentioned the gnome-ethereal package I realized what I had neglected. Jack(a)leadershipbynumbers.com http://LeadershipByNumbers.com

Getting Ethereal to work?
by jack＠leadershipbynumbers.com 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

I'd like to get Ethereal to run on CentOS 3x. Now, yum says everything is in place for ethereal, but I can't find any executable and am feeling real dumb. I've checked numerous forums (and the Red Hat site), but I can't find anything specific. I've used locate and find, but while there is a lot of ethereal material spread around on my CentOS 3 server, I'm missing the big piece to run it. Anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Jack Jack(a)leadershipbynumbers.com http://LeadershipByNumbers.com

Re: [Centos] rebuilding errata src rpms
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Usually less than 24 hours but there is a libpng security update that hasnt been taken care of im guessing because its been 3 days since the posting on redhats site.. i have checked all the mirrors listed on the site (centOS) and yet to see the updated libpng rpm... i understand that kernel issues are some what different in being that it deals with pretty much the whole system..but... a libpng update is something rather small and could have been released already...i have rebuilt the src.rpm on a test server (using rpmbuild --rebuild src.rpm) but didnt know exactly if that was the proper way to rebuild the src rpms (if thats how the people at centOS do those) and didnt install it on my production server...and if it is that easy then i could just rebuild the src.rpms that dont need any spec file changes until i get a better understanding of what needs to be changed in those type of situations..and just wait for kernel updates from the people at centOS themselves to rebuild those(kernel updates) i am using up2date to keep my system updated with the necessary updates from the servers...could that be an issue or not? i have no problem rebuilding the src.rpms if how i do it is the proper and correct way to accomplish such a task..

rebuilding errata src rpms
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

I am running centos-3 and have a question about rebuilding errata srpms from redhat. Do all i have to do is run rpmbuild --rebuild filename.src.rpm to rebuild the rpm for use on my centos system? I am talking about the src.rpms that dont have a a filename change for example the rpm file name change for kernels, etc that add c0 to the rpm filename I am assuming that if the src.rpm filename from redhat errata page matches that of the rpm in centos that there were no .spec file changes and that i can run the above command to rebuild the rpm or any other src.rpm and then install the updated rpm on my system.

Re: parting shot re nVIDIA on Linux
by Rick Graves 20 Jun '04

20 Jun '04

Hey, I only got a Voodoo Banshee because one was up for auction locally, and I could get it cheap. I also had good results with a cheapie S3 card. I suspect that most any other card might work better than nVIDIA. So if you want to "cut the Gordian knot" and solve the problems fast, F**K nVIDIA, and try any other display card. Rick
