Hi All, I have been Googling my head off but cannot find a method to stream edit all the images in a directory and to resize them. I have a large number of images of up to 3GB in size that I want to put in albums on a website, but before I do this I need to resize them to a more realistic configuration. I know how to do this manually with the GIMP but it becomes tedious for more than a few

When I log in to the gui desktop as the user and then open a terminal screen the instructions in the .bashrc do get executed and the application runs as it should. Any ideas of where to look ? TIA Chris Geldenhuis

Hi, I am running a fully updated CentOS 4 box. Since the last few rounds of updates - upgrading to the latest Firefox, I find that I can not print Bank statements etc ( .ps files when saved to disk). The Bank's logo and any lines on the form print OK but the actual content is distorted beyond recognition - printing a series of special characters (!"$%&#'(") instead of

Hi All, Last night I downloaded the latest security updates to my Centos 4 system, and rebooted afterwards. This morning I wanted to check my mail, but when I opened Thunderbird, it asked me to set up a mail account. I saved the contents of the previous .thunderbird file structure with tar and created a new mail account with the same details (name, isp, pasword, servers etc.) as the

Hi, due to clashing issues here at work I will not be able to make it to Linuxtag 2009, as I won't be able to get free time during that week. That at the moment leaves us with Didi and Chris Geldenhuis, which isn't enough to man a booth during 4 days. Is anyone else interested to come to man the booth there? Otherwise we might have to call it off for this year. If so it would be nice if you could subscribe to the centos-promo list <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-promo&gt...

Okay, I know about 'cron' and 'at', but how do you schedule jobs (scripts) based on events. For instance: Run script xyz when file abcd.efg arrives via ftp? TIA, Frank M.

Hi, I am running Centos 4 (fully updated on this box). I removed the old DVD writer (/dev/hdc) and installed a new LG GH20 "Internal Super Multi DVD Rewriter" with a SATA interface - this shows up as /dev/scd0. When I insert a pre-recorded DVD autorun mounts it and displays the contents without any hassles. It appears to me that the required kernel modules are loaded - as copied

Hi Some time ago there was a discussion on the above subject. I have scanned the past few month's mailing list archives and cannot find the relevant mail(s). Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource. I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date. Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd

Hi I have configured a machine to authenticate against LDAP. When I log onto the box using the newly created user I see a LDAP search request for every user that exist in the directory. If I have only 20 users even a 100 that is not a problem but when I start going to 10000 users I start getting some weird errors and timeouts because of the time it takes to download the data to the client. I

Hi, Apologies for the long post - but I'm being driven crazy by this problem. A while ago I built a new server that is intended to serve as a Xen server running multiple DomU systems used a test environments for systems that I am working on. The host Xen system will be CentOS 5 as will some of the DomU systems. The systems will all be hardware virtualized. The motherboard uses the nVidia

Hi I am trying to simulate the behaviour when a file gets copy-truncated or any other option selected in logrotate. As a start, I have written a quick script to create values in a file at high rate. #!/usr/bin/perl open FILE, ">testdata" or die $!; for (my $i = 1; $i <= 10000000; $i++){ print FILE "$i\n"; # sleep 1; } close FILE and a logrotate.conf file that
