[CentOS-docs] ArtWork - How to collaborate
Hi, What do you think of adding some verbose about how to collaborate on ArtWork ? Actually I put the following: - Collaborate If you want to help, the following resources are available: 1. Mailing lists: Introduce and discuss your ideas (in CentOS-devel list.). 2. Artwork svn repository: Add your ideas. 3.

Is that page the right place for that ? Cheers, al. ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
Re: [CentOS-docs] ArtWork - How to collaborate
Dear Alain. What do you think of adding some verbose about how to collaborate on ArtWork ? Actually I put the following: Currently, most of the work is done by yourself. You have setup test systems and are working on projects like Mantis design (and maybe re-design of the main page) So it's hard to get involved besides suggestions and comments. Collaborate That would be great ;) If you want to help, the following resources are available: 1. Mailing lists: Introduce and discuss your ideas (in CentOS-devel list.). I would personally prefer a seperate Artwork ML where technical details can be discussed. Results could still be announced on -devel. 2. Artwork svn repository: Add your ideas. We should keep all updates in SVN. This would make things much easier (even to decide who is working on which parts). It would also be great if SIG members could have access to test DOMs, so it's not necessary to set up local installations. 3. Artwork Trac instance: Browse changes friendly, document changes, submit tickets ... at the end of http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork page. Are they the right steps to follow? Is that page the right place for that ? I am not sure on that, yet. If we are planning to use Trac, the wiki page should just link to it (as Trac does include a wiki, too). Afaik livecd is almost happening on Trac. Therefore Trac is one of the things that needs to be de-uglyfied, too. The advantage of the Wiki is that it already integrates well in the existing .org world. Trac pages are hard to find, Trac URLs are not easy to remember (yet) and the Tracs are not announced clearly on the main site. Here is step 4: We need to set up something like a timeline or a plan. There are several projects going on atm like Mantis or the $LANG sites, where it's not yet clear (to me) what is going to happen or already happening but kept secret.

Here is step 4: We need to set up something like a timeline or a plan. There are several projects going on atm like Mantis or Definitely. Does the work done at the moment could help on building a timeline or plan for actual and further works ? and is something missing to complete the needed parts of the distribution redesign. the $LANG sites, where it's not yet clear (to me) what is going to happen or already happening but kept secret. Actually afaik, to get $LANG sites is need a common design, something that fits what we have on the wiki, trac, and recently in mantis. To do that the application proposed was Puntal. Personally, I tried to reach http://www.puntal.fr and my DNS couldn't resolved the related IP address of that site. Have any of you the same situation ?

[CentOS] CentOS 5 on an MSI Wind U100 Netbook RTL8187 wireless card configuration
Hi, I recently purchased an MSI Wind Netbook, just slightly bigger than an EeePC, and IMHO just one step above the mere toy category. It's got a 10 monitor, 80 GB SATA HD, and the keyboard is just big enough so I can type with ten fingers (with a little exercise). The thing came preinstalled with Windows XP, and I've spent the last two days figuring out how I could possibly install my favourite OS on it. Among the many hairy details: 1) there's no CDROM nor floppy, only USB, and 2) the NIC is an RTL8101, not handled by the install kernel (nor the normal CentOS kernel). There were several Catch22's, but here's how I went about it. I published my detailed install notes (in French, but the Linux bits are universal :oD), since it seems to be a quite popular bit of hardware: http://www.microlinux.fr/article.php3?id_article=47 There's one exception though: the wireless card is a Realtek RTL8187 (which lspci lists as RTL8199 Unknown device). I must have tried about ten different drivers out there, none of them worked (MSI only published precompiled kernel modules for SuSE Linux Enterprise 10, go figure). The ndiswrapper solution didn't work either: the Windows driver loaded OK, but no signal. I tried the dkms-rtl818x driver from RPMForge, but to no avail. Any suggestions on this piece of hardware?

[CentOS] Illegal opp code
Hi, HP DL 385 G2. CentOS 5.1 Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 I have a newly installed server that was running x. It told me there were updates to install. I accepted that all, except sysreport as I always seem to have problems installing. I rebooted, having set the default run level to 3. I then got a red screen with an illegal OpCode error message. I have used my CD to boot into rescue more. My old system is mounted under /mnt. I would also like to get my system back up and running. I have put a fair bit of time into loading libraries and software. I have tried editing the grub.conf and commenting out the 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 kernel so it used a previous kernel but I can not get past this error. There is no message from grub. The system comes straight from the BIOS messages into this red screen. Is there any other ways to determine what the problem is? The error messages says nothing more that a few lines of hex which don't look useful to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated. TIA.

That is wrong. Every release of Fedora comes out and people ask how to configure bind to work in a chroot with selinux enabled. As Fedora is a testbed for upstream, we should have these things ironed out. Possibly having a separate SELinux/Docs mailing list means they may not be aware of what is going on in the mainstream.

[CentOS] Standby Issue
Hi List, I'm running Centos 5.2 on an Pentium III-1000 The box has been running for almost a year without any (hardware) issues. SInce a few weeks the box goes into standby (power led flashes) without any obvious reason (ie. i cannot find anything). This happens randomly (box runs for 1 day and does this, next time it runs for 5 days and it happens). Normally when a box goes into standby, you should be able to start it again pressing the power button, but this does not work. I have to completely unplug it and then it boots up again (after plugging it in again ;-)) I thought it was due to a kernel upgrade from 2.6.18-92.1.6 to 2.6.18-92.1.10, but after a downgrade the same issue occurred I have checked about all settings (loaded modules, logfiles, bios etc.) I have stopped the acpid, still no go... cpuspeed is not running... Bios has got all powermanagement stuff disable.. So basically i am looking for some hints on solving this... Anyone...? -- Test [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Custom build kernel patch fails big time.
I am trying to build a custom kernel for the HIPL code
(infrahip.hip.fi), using the patch for the Linux 2.6.18 kernel. I
followed all the instructions for getting the kernel source and making a
custom kernel provided on the wiki. The rpmbuild fails with the
following messages:
Get an error on this step (figured out my other problem):

I've asked for help on the hipl list, but there is no real experience
there with Centos (FC8 and 9), and they are trying to help, put perhaps
someone here might know what I am doing wrong?
Oh, one question was asked about how the ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.16.18
directory looks like. I think the linux-2.6.18.i386 (or i686) is not
what the patch is expecting?

The first time I did this I had a camera on a tripod behind the screen with a remote to the camera. Shutter priority with about a 2 second exposure is necessary to get complete screen captures. I have done it more recently using vnc to handle the install on another machine on the network, grabbing each screen using whatever that machine has available. I find vnc installs helpful in any case as it makes it easy to monitor the installation without having to look at the hardware which may be in another room.

Hi Bob, Bob Hoffman wrote: My main reason was to make a really good how to book on building the webserver to help other newbies. That sounds like a really good thing to do. However, let me point out a couple of things that are important when it comes to the mailing list you are on here. 1) dont reply to someone else's email when its a NEW topic or thread you want to create. At the moment, since you replied to my email about the website rather than posting a new email, this entire conversation about how you would screenshot various things, is now under the thread titled 'Centos Website'. dont believe me ? look here : http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-September/thread.html 2) when you reply to someone on a thread, dont top post. Put your content below the portion you are replying to, and delete the rest ( eg. look at this email of mine. I've trimmed out the extra stuff and only left in enough to make sense of the thread ).

Jerry Geis [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In the event I have an important email and I want it try perhaps every minute (1minute) to send the email how do I accomplish this from the sendmail command line? considering just how many people use greylisting, this is likely a bad idea.Greylisting works by rejecting the first message from a new server with a 4xx (temporary) error code. If the server tries again immediately or never tries again, it's probably a spammer. If the server waits a reasonable period of time (say, 30 minutes) and then re-sends the mail, it's probably legit, and the greylist program puts that server on the whitelist so mail from that server goes through right away next time. Many people set things up such that if you try again immediately, you get put on a blacklist, as you are probably a spammer.
