I have a Dell M6400 with an NVIDIA Quadr FX 3700M card. Is there any way 
for me to setup 2 external monitors as opposed to one external monitor 
and the laptop screen?

Re: [CentOS] Who maintains php-pgsql package? I want to ask about using PostgreSQL 8.4 library instead of PostgreSQL 8.1.

 How do I find out who is the maintainer of the php-pgsql package, please?
 I want to request upgrade from underlying postgresql-libs-8.1.21

 Background on this request:  Apache httpd's php's php-pgsql uses
 PostgreSQL 8.1 library (/usr/lib64/libpq.so.4), which leaks memory.
 PostgreSQL 8.4 library does not leak.

  Apache HTTP Server: httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3

  mod_php: php-5.1.6-27.el5

  PHP PostgreSQL interface is provided by: php-pgsql-5.1.6-27.el5,
 which uses postgresql-libs-8.1.21-1.el5_5.1 which provides
 /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4 which we've observed has a memory leak
 (and this memory leak is NOT present in libpq.so.5.2)

I am trying to figure out how to get our httpd/mod_php/php-pgsql
 to use libpq.so.5.2 instead of libpq.so.4, and I thought I'd start by
 asking the php-pgsql maintainer, so this problem is fixed for everybody,
 not just for me.

Please let me know if I can help in any way.

 Kind regards,
 Aleksey

[CentOS] GPL question

2010-09-08 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi All;

I have a GPL question - sorry if it's way off topic.


We're pushing on a system that collects a variety of data points and pulls 
them into a single report. One of the modules we use is a 3rd party tool that 
generates an html report which equates to one of the pages on the report 
that's then delivered to the customer.

In this scenario is the code that generates all the other modules/pages of the 
report subject to the GPL as well?



Thanks in advance

[CentOS] centOS vs the upstream vendor

2010-04-22 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi All;

I have a laptop running the workstation version of Linux from RedHat. I've 
enabled the EPEL and rpmfusion repos plus I'm subscribed to the following 
channels:
*  Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64)
* Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL Client (v.5 64-bit x86_64)
* RHEL Desktop Supplementary (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64)
* RHEL Desktop Workstation FasTrack (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64)
* RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64)
* RHEL Desktop FasTrack (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64)


I have openioffice version 3.1.1



I also have 2 employees running fully patched 5.4 CentOS. They also have the 
EPEL and rpmfusion repos enabled as well as the centos plus repo.  They 
however have openoffice version 2.3.0

I *thought* that CentOS was basically the equivelant of RHEL. did we do 
something wrong? or is RHEL (at least in the case of openoffice) shipping a 
newer release than CentOS?


Thanks in advance...

[CentOS] CPU Upgrade

2010-03-16 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi all;

I have a Dell 2900 with a single Quad core chip and an expansion slot for a 
second Quad core chip.

I have CentOS 5.4 installed on the server now. If I add the second Quad core 
chip do I need to change anything per the install? Do I have to re-install the 
OS? Or will CentOS simply see the second chip once I reboot and just work?

Thanks in advance

 gnome-keyring stores the keys on (of course) gnome.  Do you have
 something similar on kde that is, perhaps, either not installed or

[CentOS] digikam and mp3 sound on RHEL

2010-01-11 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi All;

after years of running free Linux distros I've finally come to a place where I 
must have solid stability for my work laptop so I've purchased RHEL 
Workstation.

I like it well enough - however I'd like to install digikam and get my system 
to play mp3's.  I'm thinking I could get both of these from a centos 
repository. What do you'all think?

If so, could someone point me to the correct repo(s) and the packages I'd need 
for playing mp3's?

[CentOS] installation help

2008-11-29 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi All;

I'm trying to instal CentOS on my new laptop but I've run into a few issues.  

It's a Dell Precision M6400 - I'm installing CentOS 5 (64bit) running KDE


I have 3 issues:

1) I cannot get the wireless to work 


2) I cannot get sound to work


3) I cannot get the full screen resolution
I can go to administration -- display and under the 'Hardwae' tab I can 
configure the display as a generic or as a Dell 1920x1200 but no matter what 
I choose the 'Settings' tab only lets me choose a max of 1400x1050


I can get the wireless and sound to work in Fedora 10 but I'm not sure how to 
tell specifically what devices they are.. I thought I could use Fedora 10 to 
help debug the sound  wireless.


Thanks in advance for any help ...

[CentOS] Linux backup help

2008-11-10 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi All;

I'm awaiting a new linux laptop that will be my primary work machine. I want 
to implement a strategy that allows me as easily as possible to revert back 
to a former state. My primary concern is a scenario where I apply system 
updates and it breaks something that for me is critical.   

I wonder if a simple rsync script would work. If so, here's what I'm thinking:

1) updates are available so I execute the rsync script which pulls any updated 
files from my laptop to a backup server/drive

2) apply updates

3) if something breaks (even if I can no longer login) I boot the laptop, run 
the rsync script in the opposite direction (push files from the backup drive 
to the laptop) 

I assume that if I were to execute step 3 above that my system would be in the 
exact state that it was before I ran the updates. Is this a correct 
assumption ?  Are there better approaches ?


Thanks in advance..

Major changes in CentOS 5 compared to CentOS 4 include:

These updated software versions: Apache-2.2, php-5.1.6,

I think it should be possible as long as they are installed in
different locations, e.g. compile everything from source and install
to /usr/local/kde4 or something.

But if you break it you get to keep all the pieces!



y, that's my biggest concern ...

[CentOS] RAID / OS Monitoring tools ?

2008-09-22 Thread kevin kempter

Hi List;

I just got a new server (my first **real** server).

It's a dell 2900 :
quad core XEON (with a spare slot for a 2nd quad core chip)
8G memory (expandable to 64G)
8 hot swap SATA HD slots onboard
PERC6i RAID controller
etc

I initially setup the system / RAID as follows:

1)  booted off the dell setup CD
2) walked through the RAID setup and formatted the drives
3) the setup bombed when it asked for a RHEL install media (I suspect  
cause I gave it a CentOS 5 install DVD instead)

4) powered off
5) restarted the box with the CentOS DVD in the drive and installed  
CentOS 5


The RAID configuration was as I had set it up in the DELL setup cd so  
I'm happy.



Now I want to be able to monitor the box, specifically with respect to  
the RAID drives so I'll know if one has gone bad and the RAID  
configuration has failed over to it. Anyone have any suggestions for  
tools to use ?


Thanks in advance...

[CentOS] Multiple Linux instances on the same box - dual/triple/etc boot ?

2008-09-19 Thread kevin kempter

Hi List;

I have a new dev server. As an independent consultant I want to  
maximize it's use. Some of my clients use RedHat/CentOS 64 bit, others  
Redhat/CentOS 32bit, some are even using Fedora and Debian.


Here's my thought:

I'd like to install each OS/version into it's own space on the disk.   
I'm thinking all I have to do is install one OS (say CentOS 64bit) and  
partition say 20% of the disk. Then once the install is done, boot  
into the latest fedora disk and do the same, etc.


Is this correct ?

Later I want to add a disk array and allocate a RAID mount point that  
can be mounted by any of the installed Linux'es when it's active.


Is this do-able ? Easily ?


Thanks in advance...
