[CentOS] Plotter?

2008-03-19 Thread Fajar Priyanto
Hello all,
How do we install a plotter in Centos5? Is it regarded as ordinary printer?
It's using an Ikon Corporation card to connect at PCI. The driver for the card 
(IHCP) is successfully compiled and installed.
Any hints are really appreciated.
Thank you.

Well, the data is rather sensitive - authentication tokens, IPs and

than putting it in the URL.

you realize POST data is virtually the same as GET data in an http

RX= received, TX = transmitted.

As far as I know, it zeros on boot.  And yes, it is reliable.  
However, 'transmitted' will include checksums etc., so won't match exactly to 
a file length.  Not an expert explanation, but adequate, I think :-)

Help with what exactly? I don't see a single error log or reference to
a centos application here.
What attachments? What catalog system? what are you using to attach
them.  What certification submission?

That's because you are using the drive in IDE mode with a general work 
with "most controllers driver". Might be worth giving it time to finish the 
installation and let CentOS go online and find the correct driver.

Sounds like the installation is not finding the correct controller chip, is it

Was there an operating system (M$?) on the machine before you tried to upgrade 
the O/S to CentOS and if so did the controller have access to both drives? 
What is the controller that the drives are connected to?

Use crontab for custom scripts.

You maybe also look at tmpwatch (removes files which haven't been
accessed for a period of time) - /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch

You can do both, install 5.0 with the CDROM and do a online update to
5.1. Or download the 5.1 cd's and use those.

If you already have the 5.0 cdroms then it is probably best to do a
minimal install with 5.0 then upgrade to 5.1 and then use yum to
install the actual stuff you need.

Tim

Nowhere in here do you give the device a way to get an IP address. 
You've turned off DHCP, but don't give a static address, so I guess it's 
just picking a random value from somewhere.


Say something like this:

DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:1B:21:07:A5:94
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=1.2.3.4
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

Les, it's not that it fails it is just that plink sends the command and waits 
for it to complete execution. Even if the shell script uses your nohup syntax, 
if I put in a long dd as a test command then have plink execute the script, it 
will actually wait for it to complete and even show dd's output! Sending the 
command to at worked perfectly!

Look at the link again. You don't install AHCI, it is an option in your bios 
to change the sata emulation mode. Again, you don't install AHCI.

Hi there

The only example of anything approaching this that i know of is using
ndiswrapper to install the windows driver for a wifi card on a linux
box and after 2.6.25 it looks like you will taint the kernel by doing
this.

Using windows drivers within linux is an ugly hack at best.

I don't know what your reply means.
 
Here is what it says to do:
 
 
"I went back and looked at the BIOS again and noted a setting under
"Integrated Peripherals" for "SATA Mode" with the options of "IDE" or
"RAID". Since the ata_piix module seemed to be the one at issue I turned on
"RAID" to see what would happen and it switched to loading the achi module
instead of the ata_piix."

 
Do you know how to get into the bios?
Can you change it as described above? (from IDE to RAID)

[CentOS] How to prevent installer using disk labels?

2008-03-19 Thread Tony Mountifield
Is there any way, when installing CentOS (or any RH-based distro),
to prevent it from using disk labels in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf,
and to force it to just use the actual device names?

For testing purposes, I am installing two different CentOS versions in
different partitions, and am having to change from labels to device names
by hand, and re-label the disks, in order to avoid the boot process getting
confused between the filesystems.

you should be aware, there are files in /tmp with long time persistence, 
the only stuff thats absolutely safe to delete is files from before the

a directory in /tmp, this is needed as long as that session is in use.

you can set vm.swappiness=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf that will do just about 
that.  if your programs get a leak though you really do want the system 
to be able to swap or OOM might nuke them anyway. If you are really 
concerned about this make sure you have plenty of ram in the machine and 
set swappiness to zero.


Others may have other tweaks suggestions..:)

Les, it's not that it fails it is just that plink sends the command and waits

That means you left one or all of the remote shell's stdin/out/error 
connected (not surprising, since the example earlier only redirected a 
subshell) and the ssh connection is waiting for them to close.  Try 
running the nohup as part of the actual command line - and you may need 
to add an 
exec output_file 2>error_file
and exit.  Check the man page for 'nohup'.  It will redirect sdtout and 
error if you don't, but I've forgotten if it does anything with stdin.

If you use parted and get it to work then I'll assume using fdisk
