[CentOS] Key auth question
I have a problem getting key authentication to work with one remote user (git), even though it works fine for the remote user "root".

[CentOS] Sound drop out with totem. mplayer Can't open audio device /dev/dsp
Hey all. This morning I found that my audio playback is randomly sprinkled with sound skips and dropouts.

[CentOS] Dovecot problems
Actually, I'm having problems with pop and imap. I changed mailservers this weekend, going from a Centos 3 box to a Centos 6 box. The Centos 3 box used the old standard imap and pop servers. We use horde for our webmail. The pop3 mailboxes (mbox) were in /var/spool/mail and the imap folders were in /home/user/mail, which horde took care of. Upon starting the Centos 6 box, I ran into tons of login and viewing problems. I tried Cyrus for imap, could log in, but couldn't see mail in the imap folders. Using dovecot for pop, I eventually could get logged in, but kept getting the "couldn't open INBOX" message, so no one could download their email, even though sendmail was delivering it properly. So here's my question: Can (should) dovecot be used for both imap and pop when considering the above setup of mbox in /var/spool/mail and imap folders in ~/mail? Horde will read the mbox to display new messages in it's screens. If so, does anyone have a pretty good link to how to make dovecot function using the old Centos pop/imap scheme? Should I try and convert the old mbox files to another format or destination to make this work? Thanks for any help. It's been a long night, going on about 14 hours now and I'm just getting the old server back to current until I figure this out. steve campbell ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Cyrus-IMAPd is out of the game unless you do a real mail store migration as Cyrus-IMAPd uses his own storage scheme. > So here's my question: > > Can (should) dovecot be used for both imap and pop when considering the > above setup of mbox in /var/spool/mail and imap folders in ~/mail?

I did the changes to mirrorlist for rpmforge so it referenced $basearch and still no joy.

Lame should not be responsible for the missing /dev/dsp. It is likely that something else got updated as well (what else is in the yum.log?), or that something crashed (pulseaudio, alsa, the kernel... :-) ). The simplest way is to try to logout and login, and see if that helps. If not, reboot. If not, reboot to an older kernel. If not, read logs for pulseaudio etc. Btw, I am writing off the top of my head here, but I think that mplayer should not even try to use /dev/dsp. Try it with mplayer -ao pulse file.wav That should force mplayer to use pulseaudio (which should be the default by now, IIRC). If necessary, put it in mplayer's config file.

[CentOS] Anyone already tried to backport the latest ASPM kernel patch to 6.2?
After going from CentOS 5.7 to 6.2, a lot of things turned out to be
much better, but there are also quite some regressions. The most obvious
one is power consumption on my notebook. It was notably lower before.
The ASPM issue introduced in 2.6.38 was widely reported and discussed,
and the 6.2 kernel has exacatly this code as a backport.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=2f671e2dbff6eb5ef4e2600adbec550c13b8fe72
So I started to experiment with the upstream patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c076351c4027a56d5005a39a0b518a4ba393ce2;hp=69166fbf02c7a21745013f2de037bf7af26e4279
To make it apply, one needs to change 'pci_is_pcie(pdev)' into
'pdev->is_pcie'. One also needs to fiddle a little with the first chunk.
I came up with the patch attached, but unfortunately the new kernel
showed no improvement. Most probably I got something wrong.
Anyone else here who tried this or is interested in sorting this out?
Thanks,
Michael

"pcie_aspm=force" is one extreme, the current default behaviour being the other one (explicit disabling!). The BIOS sets up something in-between and then says on inquiry: "Never did I do anything!

VT8233/A/8235/8237 > AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) Those cards can be nothing but problems. Some say that there are common in linux but I say nothing but common trouble. When did you update the the kernel last? Something good is `alsa-info` and read the instructions on the terminal and where to run it and get the standard output of it. You could try a diffeernt "codec" besides "lame" like mpg123. Does asound.conf point to the pulses conf file? It is a normal thing that pulseaudio will pop and skip and snap crackle when it does not have enough of a Buffer or Priority and when a card is going bad. Since in the above mplayer can not access pulse last thing you could do is reinstall all the pulse packages. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
