[CentOS] system-config-display problem
I bought a Viewsonic VG730m monitor, analogue and digital. With a digital cable connected the screen keeps blanking for a second or so. system-config-display shows it configured as a CRT monitor, and refuses to accept that it is an LCD monitor. I've tried manually editing xorg.conf, putting in the manufacturer's values for horizontal and vertical refresh, but the problem remains. The Viewsonic website has lots of information for windows and some for mac, but nothing for linux. I need either to find how to make system-config-display keep the setting I'm giving it or to know what entry to put into xorg.conf to make it understand that it is an LCD display. Sorry if this sounds naive, but I've not had a digital monitor before. I could go back to using the analogue connection, which gave no problems, but you'll understand that I'm reluctant to do that.

Start running it in logging-only mode or it will immediately break certain apps. You will have to adjust several limits before you can use it in real.

[CentOS] problems with iscsiadm
Hello, I'm fairly new to centos and to iscsi, I have installed a fresh copy of centos (CentOS release 5 (Final)) and installed iscsi-initator-utils, iscsiadm -V shows iscsiadm version 2.0-865 . when i try to connect to iscsi target it doesnt work ... it just stays idle , i try something like: iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 172.20.2.76 show or with -m node --login ...etc, none works. using the same configuration on ubuntu gutsy, same version things work! i also made both /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf identical ... no luck :( i did tcpdump too (-vv -n ) and then grep the ip of the iscsi target, i see no traffic to the iscsi target at all on the centos machine, i tried it on the other machine it works :S Is there anything else to check? firewalls are all shutdown on all nodes ... i tried switching ips too .. any hint is greatly valued, thank you -- Maysara A.

There are a ton of them (it's ATTR, btw). I'll try this and see if it
works, but it looks like a macro?
Anyway, thanks. I'll see what happens on next reboot

Hi, does something like the SUSE/Novell ntsutils (previously called "supportconfig") or Microsoft's MPS Reports exist for CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

I mean a program that reads and exports various configurations and parameters to facilitate technical support. The 'sysreport' aka 'sos' package does this to some extent; as SuSE and Microsoft each use a unifying tool (YAST2, and the .msc tools) to manage a central registry and then to 'flow' the configurations out so services and applications, the concept is more applicable on those platforms for a reporting add on; simply 'tarring' /etc/ catches the essential configuration files on RH derived systems. -- Russ Herrold ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Network configuration question
Hi, My wife and I live in a two-storey flat, and we have a small home LAN (100% CentOS 5) with a "classical" configuration: On the ground floor, there is the telephone jack with the DSL modem router (192.168.1.254). This modem has a mini-switch with two Ethernet jacks to it, and the two are used by: - the server (192.168.1.1), a "black box" running in a cupboard 24/7 - the wireless AP (192.168.1.253) Then, on the first floor, everything is connected by wireless, and for the moment, configured statically: - my desktop PC (192.168.1.2) - my laptop (192.168.1.3) - my wife's laptop (192.168.1.4) I have an older laptop here, a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D, that I'd like to use as a simple build box. It's physically installed next to my desktop PC. It doesn't have a wireless card, so I vaguely thought: is it somehow possible to connect this laptop with an Ethernet cable to my desktop PC's unused Ethernet card, and then connect it to the internet? In that case, I wonder if I have to bridge the desktop PC's network interfaces (wlan0 and eth0). That said, I don't even know if the driver for wlan0 (rt61) allows any bridging. Or maybe simply configure a different subnet, but then, what would the network configuration look like on the laptop and on the desktop PC? Any suggestions for that?

Re: [CentOS] Gettiing the latest Firefox and Thunderbird for CentOS 5.1
Michael A. Peters a écrit : That's really too bad - because in my experience, the mozilla builds are more stable than the rebuilds of F8 src.rpm's that I'm using. Well - 2.0.0.12 hasn't crashed on me yet, but I've only been running it a few days (2.0.0.10 rpm install would often crash when opening a dialog box) As an aside: I've been really annoyed by browser instability problems, since my CentOS desktops are installed in public libraries which also somewhat serve as publicly accessible internet cafés. Tried any version of Firefox (1.5.x, 2.0.x, 3.0beta), to no avail. I solved the problem by using the Seamonkey browser, complete with Flash, MPlayer and Java plugins: same rendering engine, lighter on resources, much more stable. I started from an FC8 specfile, tweaked some defaults, then built it with the --disable-mailnews and the --disable-composer options, so I got only the browser instead of the whole Internet suite. As for the desktop environment (no troll intended, please), I simply switched from GNOME to XFCE, which has basically the same functionalities, without bloat nor weird dependencies. One very nice possibility is the XFCE Kiosk mode, which simply prevents users from defacing the default configuration. my two centimes d'euro :oD Niki PS: if you want to try it out --> http://kikinovak.free.fr/centos/5/kikinovak/i386/RPMS/seamonkey-1.1.7-3.i386.rpm Caution: the repo is currently being built, and subject to (daily) change. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
