Re: [CentOS] Anyone using PHP52 packages from iuscommunity.org?
I've had these PHP 5.3.3 packages installed for quite a while: http:// rpms.famillecollet.com/el5.x86_64/ No problems at all but I went back to 5.2.10 from CentOS Testing because for what I needed it for (phpVirtualBox) 5.2 was sufficient and I did feel a bit better knowing where the 5.2.10 packages came from. Can't tell you anything about reliability of famillecollet though, I just googled something about updating PHP on CentOS 5 and their site was one of the first ones to pop up.

[CentOS] Add default quirk to pm-utils (CentOS 5.4)
I've installed CentOS 5.4 on my new Lenovo Ideapad S12 (Atom-based 12 notebook) and need to add a quirk to pm-suspend in order for the laptop to actually go to sleep. There's a couple of quirks that work just fine so I really don't have a preference. I found several instructions but most of them have failed me because CentOS's pm-utils is too ancient. Newer versions come with a parameter that adds the quirk to hald automatically, the CentOS version of pm-utils does not have this function yet. I've tried adding a /etc/pm/ config.d/99local config file with DISPLAY_QUIRK_VBE_POST=true and a /etc/ hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi manually to no avail: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? !-- -*- SGML -*- -- !-- Created by pm-utils -- deviceinfo version=0.2 device merge key=power_management.quirk.dpms_on type=boolfalse/merge merge key=power_management.quirk.dpms_suspend type=boolfalse/merge merge key=power_management.quirk.vbe_post type=booltrue/merge merge key=power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore type=boolfalse/ merge merge key=power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore type=boolfalse/ merge merge key=power_management.quirk.vga_mode_3 type=boolfalse/merge /device /deviceinfo But nothing seems to work. Running pm-suspend does not do anything, running pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post puts the Laptop to sleep. Any ideas?

Re: [CentOS] Add default quirk to pm-utils (CentOS 5.4)
Nevermind, I found it. Had to add a second line to /etc/pm/ config.d/99local. It now contains the following: DISPLAY_QUIRK_S3_MODE=true QUIRKOPTS=true Whick quirk I pick doesn't make a difference, I found several that work. This one works just fine and the laptop goes to sleep when I enter start pm-suspend from a shell, close the lid, or select suspend from the klaptop menu.

Re: [CentOS] APIC error on Intel Atom CPU, CentOS 5.x
If it helps I'm experiencing a *very* similar problem with all Atom N270 based company netbooks (Lenovo S10e) with openSUSE 11.2 and Kernel 2.6.31, as well as openSUSE 11.1 and Kernel 2.6.27. Putting load on the NIC works fine until I start rsync. Literally everything else allows me to put load on it - ftp, scp, downloading large files via HTTP, copying via NFS or SMB, etc. But as soon as I start rsync it locks up. It doesn't even start to transfer anything - the NIC instantly dies and more often than not takes the entire system down with it. Every now and then instead of a full lockup I only get a dead NIC. Killing the rsync process hard (-9) and restarting the network often helps. I realize that this is a very different software environment but I was about to try CentOS on that baby next. I'll try the noapic option when I get back to my office but it's interesting how so different environments seem to produce similar errors. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's probably not a CentOS-specific issue we're dealing with here.

You might not be able to see and access the entire 4GB on a 32-bit system because part of your system memory (up to 512MB) will be reserved for periperal use. Not sure whether or not CentOS has PAE enabled by default, but you'll see that when you first boot the upgraded system. Either way it'll still work just fine.

Funnily enough it's only KDE3 that doesn't accept my self-compiled kernels. With Gnome I can suspend and hibernate from the System menu while KDE3 doesn't offer me any option to do so. This means there must be something compiled into these kernels, or some option ticked or not ticked, that makes KDE3 realize it's capable of suspending and hibernating. I'll try the wireless module next. Could you tell me what exactly is different about a realtime kernel compared to a non-realtime kernel? Is it just the scheduling?

Re: [CentOS] Kernel Panic with wl.ko (Broadcom wireless driver) [CentOS 5.4]
Bad news. Just like my self-compiled 2.6.25 and 2.6.27 kernels my laptop froze with your kernel and the wl.ko module, too. It didn't kernel panic and it lasted significantly longer than with 2.6.18 but it still froze in the end. I'm back to 2.6.18-164-11-bug4139.4192.4196 now. Instead of Broadcom's proprietary wl.ko module I'm now using bcm43xx with an extracted Broadcom firmware that I extracted via b43-fwcutter. That one has been running perfectly fine for the entire day now without freezing, crashing, or anything. And both standby and hibernation seem to work just fine.

Interesting. I've installed wicd but it seems to be saving the password wrong. I can connect and it does save something in the password field. However when I restart (or even simply logout and login again) it fails to connect until I manually update the password.

[CentOS] Kernel Panic with wl.ko (Broadcom wireless driver) [CentOS 5.4]
Been experimenting with CentOS 5.4 some more. In order to get my wireless card to work (Broadcom BCM4311) I need Broadcom's wl.ko driver (http:// www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php). It compiles fine after the necessary modification in typedef.h, loads and wireless works. However, as soon as I put some load on that interface (scp something from another machine, download something with Firefox, etc.) the machine kernel panics. I've tried the stock 2.6.18 kernel, the latest 2.6.18-164-11, and the latest patched 2.6.18-164-11-bug4139.4192.4196 (necessary to get my ALPS touchpad to work). I've tried two different versions of Broadcom's driver: 5.10.79.10 and 5.60.48.36. It doesn't kernel panic when I unload the wl kernel module, plug in a network cable and copy those files over ethernet. I downloaded the 2.6.27 kernel source and compiled my own kernel and it seems to work with that. However, for some weird reason, with any given self-compiled kernel (tried 2.6.18-8, 2.6.25 and 2.6.27) klaptop won't allow me to configure any standby/hibernation options because it doesn't recognize any of them. They do work perfectly fine though, I can pm- suspend the laptop from command-line. Any idea what else I could do? Either getting wl.ko to work with 2.6.18 (does somebody have a version older than 5.10.79.10 that they could email me?) or getting klaptop to realize that the laptop does indeed know how th suspend and hibernate with a non-CentOS-kernel would be fine.

[CentOS] NetworkManager trouble with CentOS 5.4 and KDE3
I'm evaluating CentOS 5.4 for our company and one of our requirements is that it must also run on laptops. I've managed to get everything working so far except for wireless networks. The problem here seems to be that CentOS fails to provide a knetworkmanager package, and we're using KDE3 for various reasons. Thus, we're limited to Networkmanager-gnome which works but fails to save passwords in KDE3 and only works in Gnome. Of course kwallet is installed but requires knetworkmanager to work. The only solution I found so far was to log into Gnome, connect to the wireless network and save the password but that's certainly NOT an opion. I guess the question is quite simple: how do I get NetworkManager to save passwords in KDE3? It's a critical issue and switching to Gnome is not an option either. Infact it's Novell's decision to ditch KDE3 and focus on KDE4 instead that made us turn our backs on openSUSE in the first place. So, is it possible to solve this teeny-tiny problem some other way?

Re: [CentOS] which FS is appropriate for a 2TB-sized partition?
If it helps: we're running several 10-15TB filesystems with ReiserFS and never had even the slightest problem with it. The current limit, however, is 16TB even for ext4. Or, to be more precise: the filesystem could handle more than 16TB easily, however the tools necessary to create the filesystem (aka mkfs.ext4) have a hard-coded 32-bit limit that's been detected almost three years ago and has still not been fixed. Which should not affect your 2.7TB partition tho ;) Martin -- Rieke Computersysteme GmbH Hellerholz 5 D-82061 Neuried Email: mar...@rhm.de ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
