I have a small Visual Basic app for a prom programmer which uses the parallel port (lpt1) to control the programmer. It uses a third party dll (io.dll) to give vb direct access to the hardware. I cannot get wine to see that port at all. I have given myself rw mode to /dev/parport0, there is a link (ln -s /dev/parport0 lpt1) in ~/me/.wine/dosdevices as described in the user notes. The app is a

I just add a partition /dev/sdb3 and use "mkswap /dev/sdb3" to make it swap space. How can I label the /dev/sdb3 like "SWAP-sdb3"? what I want is put on /etc/fstab as entry like: LABEL=SWAP-sdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0 Thanks

Hi, Can someone point me to a step by step tutorial to install a postfix toaster? Thanks

Hi, I had a CentOS running and working fine. Recently i had upgraded it to 4.4. I would like to do a raid1 on this machine. Is it possible to do it? Or do i need to reinstall the system with raid1? regards

Hello, I've got a CentOS 4.4 box that it's drive is dying. This machine has a lot of customizations done to it, custom configs and the like and i'd rather not have to do a full reinstall or manually copy over settings files. What i'm wondering is is there a way i can set up the new disk, make it bootable, then transfer the entire system over to it? I would then pull out the

Hi all, I?m trying to create a RAID1 on a machine. I?ve already configurated BIOS (mother board, Intel, S500VSA SATA) so as to build RAID1 via hardware. However on CentOS Installer, when I reach "disk setup" screen, it shows up 2 devices (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). Is this right (both devices being showed)? How should I proceed on this moment? If I create the

【Sorry there I maked some mistake in my first email, here is the correct one.】 I am trying to pass-through the parallel port of the host to the guest. When I just used qemu-system-x86_64 with option '-chardev parallel,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0 -device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0', it worked perfect. But when I tried to pass these option by adding lines below

Hello all, I've got CentOS 5.2 installed on an old Pentium III server. The server is used by a club at my school, and they are rapidly running out of room on the internal IDE drives that are configured in software RAID 1. I have a Silicon Image SATA controller in the server, and I was planning on adding two more SATA hard drives to the computer. Is there a GUI like Disk Druid for

I'm running CentOS 3 and have just installed a Liteon lightscribe DVD/CD unit. I firstly realized I didn't know exactly how to mount it, as /dev/dvd didn't exist, I didn't want to generate anything if it already existed, and I didn't want to mess up my cdrom unit that works just fine. I mounted the device though the X window just to see how it might mount, and find that it

Hi All, I've got a brand new dovecot installation. I'm new to dovecot, so please be gentle :-) Anyway, I'm getting some errors when I try to connect to dovecot. I've tried searching the web and haven't been able to find a lot of information. Here's the config info: # dovecot --version 1.1.2 # dovecot -n sudo dovecot -n # 1.1.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir:

Hello! I using the latest released version (20050725). Im having problems using the parallel port. How do i setup the parallel port using the new registry system?

After quite a few days of perusing wine doc/source/config/mailing lists, I have found very scant references to accessing the raw parallel ports using wine. I am running FC2 linux (up-to-date) and have confirmed I can access the parallel port (dongle) presented to VMWare running a Windows 2000 guest OS successfully ie. access to /dev/parport0 works. I can also run all the programs included with

Hi all, I hope this is possible. I have a server, with a network switch attached to the serial port, and I want to rescan the serial port (/dev/tty) to see if it picks it up? I'd prefer not to reboot the server if at all possible. dmesg reports ttyS0 as the active port: [root at zabackup01 ~]# dmesg |grep tty Bootdata ok (command line is ro root=/dev/System/root rhgb quiet xencons=tty6)

Hi. I had to update the BIOS of a Silicon Image 3512A Serial ATA controller. I''m not using RAID. When I run the updater program (updflash.exe), it asks me to choose flash memory from a list, something like: AMD Am29F010B (1 Megabit), AMD Am29LV01B (1 Megabit), etc. How can I find out which is flash memory of the controller? Thanks Marcelo

I have an Infortrend RAID box I'd like to see as one big 6TB partition, but I only can get 2.2TB partitions to work. I was trying to do this with an Adaptec controller but apparently they are only (any of them) 48 bits wide. Does anybody have a working system for SCSI/Centos over 2.2TB?

Hi all, I'm trying to install CentOS 5 as a domU in a CentOS5 dom0 system and I use Virtual Machine Manager to do it. I've dumped all CentOS5 CDs contents in /var/www/CentOS to make a local http media source. It works fine in dom0 browser. When I arrive in "Locating installation media[*]" step I point out to http://localhost/CentOS (which is perfectly active and available)

I know this is quite a handwaving, stupid question, but I don't know where else to ask it and maybe somebody here can at least point me into the right direction, because I'm stuck. I have a program package that were using here (OpenFOAM for those who know it). My problem is that when I compile and link this package on CentOS 5, it won't run on CentOS 4.x-machines but stops with a

There used to be a CUI tool to configure printers from a server without X running. Is there still that tool but renamed to something else? Or do you have to use VNC and X to remotely configure printers starting with 5.x?

I have already deployed a fax server and am about to deploy a backup system for this host at our off-site facility. It struck me that I have given no thought to securing the serial port to unauthorized access. The modem is a Multi-Tech MT5634ZBA which supports data as well as fax. So this poses the same type of risk, if not to the same degree, as an ssh or telnet port but without the

Hello all this is my first post to this list so i would like to than you all in advance for your time and consideration. I am in the process of building a new server and have purchased some used hardware. There seems to be some hardware issuses and i am hoping nothing was damaged during shipping. However i am in contact with intel and we are tring to figure out the exact problem via email. So
