There are no selinux related log messages.
Tried disabling it anyway.  Didn't help.

[CentOS] GDM could not write to you authorization file ... Please contact your system adminstrator

[drew einhorn]

I am the system administrator.

I have a system that was built with a default install which resulted
in everything in a single file system except for /boot

wrote some scripts to split out: /home, /usr, /var, /opt, and /tmp to
separate file systems/logical volumes it looks like it ought to work,

There's plenty of space in all the filesystems and I can log via ssh
and have write access in my home directory.  Logging in via ssh
did result in a new .Xauthority file being automatically created,
but that did not help.

Googleing around I saw a thread where the user was actually out
of disk space, but before that was established somebody asked
if /home was on a different filesystem from /, but what to do in that
case never came up.

Another google thread suggested looking in .xsession-errors,
but I don't have one.

I've found irrelevant ubuntu suggestions regarding ubuntu only
packages.

Still googleing

Yes. "not clean" is fine.  A mounted FS without a journal will always be 
"not clean".

"not clean with errors" is a cause for concern.

Re: [CentOS] EXT4 mount issue : update

[Steve Brooks]

In the two 11T EXT4 filesystems (raid level 6), referred to inprevious 
posts, built on devices

/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc

tune4fs listed the filesystem state as "not clean". I remounted them as 
read only while I decided what to do. The next day I check them again and 
"tune4fs" reports the filesystem state as "clean". Could this be normal 
behaviour?

Virtually any of the HP's with Postscript work fine, as long as you have or can 
get a .ppd for it and it's real Postscript.  I have an old Color LaserJet 
8550DN that works like a champ.  Supplies are steep, but this is an 11x17 
printer.

For monochrome duplex I'm still using an HP LJ 8000 with duplexer, and the 8150 
with duplexer works well, too.  If you print enough monochrome, you'll find 
that the 8K or 8150 are less expensive than the 8550 printing black.  All three 
are 11x17 capable.

Re: [CentOS] Colour laser printer

[Eric Viseur]

Dunno what your needs are but I just baught a Samsung CLP-310 which works
like a charm with a headless Debian Squeeze box and shared with CUPS, so it
should work well with CentOS.  You'll have to use the Samsung driver instead
of splix, doesn't goes well with that model.

I have a Brother MFC-9120cn.  It's probably overkill for the OPs
requirements but it works very well with Linux.  Brother even provide
RPMs that allow you to use the scanner functions remotely, send faxes
and so on.

Just because Brother go to that level of effort means I'd strongly
recommend them!

We have multiple Brother MFC-9840CDW and they work very well [they even
support IPv6]  ~2 cents a page.

Otherwise we have a HP 2550n that works very well; but is expensive to
operate. ~7 cents a page.

I have no experience with color printers from Brother, but I'm extremely
happy with my monochrome Brother laser printer. When I received it,
I connected it via USB (to my then Centos 4 box) and up comes a dialog
offering to configure the printer. ran thru it and voila.

I noticed a few months ago that places such as (but not limited to) 
Amazon had some Brother color laser printers for reasonable prices
(under $300 US). here are a couple of examples from today:

http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3040CN-Compact-Digital-Networking/dp/B002ONCBXU/ref=sr_1_19?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1286283594&sr=1-19

and

http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3070CW-Compact-Wireless-Networking/dp/B002ONCDH4/ref=sr_1_15?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1286283594&sr=1-15

as to whether or how well these work with Linux, I cannot say. Brother does,
however, have Linux support  (and drivers, should you need 'em) for many
of their devices, so you could check their web page for any specific models
of interest.

Good luck!

Re: [CentOS] EXT4 mount issue

[Steve Brooks]

Hi Brent, Thanks for the reply.

I have to make a decision yes, it is not an easy one either, I read have so 
many different reports, opinions that I now feel my brain has become rather 
scrambled.. Wondering now if I should just have smaller filesystems and stick 
with EXT3.. I have never used XFS and have therefore no experience with it and 
this I guess leaves me short of confidence.

Thanks,

I realize that uname is missing as well as /sbin/new-kernel-pkg. That is why
I was asking if someone has a "recipe" for building a kernel from 
"kernel.org" that
will install correctly from a respin.

That's the worst possible "solution" you could have applied.

The system is completely dependent on the version of python
supplied with it (2.4.3) and by replacing it with 2.6 you 
have effectively broken large parts of it.

Why not just go with the version is EPEL that has been
previously recommended in this thread?  It installs
side-by-side with the system supplied python and as such
doesn't break anything.

There is the added bonus that the EPEL supplied python will
actually get updated.

I did a yum install gcc* , then it installed all the required dependencies .

Re: [CentOS] upgrade python to python2.6.4 using yum

[Mathieu Baudier]

> Is there an already available repository to do this.?

The EPEL repository has a python26 package that you can install in
parallel of base python.

You can then also use python-virtualenv (also in EPEL) to add the
Python modules you would need:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python26 /path/to/your/virtualenv/dir

Did you check if they both have the same nice level when they run?
is anything else running at the time of the cron?

the same way you debug stuff when you can't see the problem by just 
staring at it: reduce it to a minimal error-case. So, remove some of 
those /etc/sysconfig/iptables lines until it no longer fails, and 
identify the exact line that causes the failure. Then stare at that one

Did you use full paths to your executables in your script? 

If you run an script from crontab, you could have other/missing
