Hello, I've just signed up to offer some of my time to the project as suggested by Ernesto Celis on CentOS Spanish users' list. I'd like to help translate the project's wiki pages to Spanish. I'll be happy to receive some suggestions as to what would be my first assignment. Cheers to you all and the biggest THANK YOU! -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue

Hello, Should Xen still work on CentOS 5.2 with 1GB RAM? On my Toshiba Satellite notebook Xen performed reasonably well as of CentOS 5.0. After I updated the system, Xen takes an unusable startup time. Every task at boot, since nash is fired, seems to take increasingly longer. I can't seem to find any references to this problem. Where should I look first? Thanks in advance -- Eduardo

I'm intending to do some version control, hence looking for some plugins. Geany and geany-plugins packages in Rpmforge seem to be out of sync: Name : geany-plugins Arch : i386 Version : 0.18 Release : 1.el5.rf Name : geany Arch : i386 Version : 0.19.1 Release : 1.el5.rf When both are installed, geany claims that plugins are not

Hello, Please. Can the following spec give me some headache with CentOS 4.4? Where to find out? I have read former advice on the list about not to mess with Intel PCI extra cards.

Hello, I have just finished my Spanish translation of the last Newsletter. As I have no edit rights to the proper zone, I have written it into my own personal page http://wiki.centos.org/EduardoGrosclaude. Please some elder member of the familiy snip it off from there and hang it where it belongs. :) I have not involved myself in prior proofreading, so this may be a bit off. May I slip in a small

I need to serialize computing job requests for two different multicore machines, and in some near future, for a cluster. I have worked with SGE but it requires NFS and other administrative steps, plus it seems a bit overkill for my needs. I guess some simpler queue managing engine may have been developed, possibly over SSH. Any pointers? TIA. -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del

Has anyone succesfully compiled a PAPI+perfctr-enabled kernel? I've been mixing and matching instructions from the PAPI distribution and those from CentOS wiki to no avail. TIA -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

Hello, When it comes to translations, it would be useful to have the original sources. Is there any place for us translators to pick up a copy? We do not have edit access to originals. TIA -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina

Hello, is anybody using DBMail or any other approach to manage huge volume mail installations? Comments about it?

Hello, I have this cheap network card which insists on me compiling its own sundance.ko module every time I update my kernel release. I had the poor idea to leave nightly yum service enabled on this remote server, only to find my network was gone at the following reboot. Had to go there, figure out that kernel stuff is carefully avoided by up2date, but not so by yum service, and rebuild. Compiling

Hello, I want to compare CentOS to Fedora and other distros on a stability/network-dependance basis. Where should I look for some published statistics on updates? I mean probably megabytes per week (or whichever units, of published updates over time), per distro.

I have this cheap "ENCORE 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter" which comes with its own driver that compiles to 'sundance.ko' and performs bad (30% packet loss) on a fully updated CentOS 4.4 box. This brand, model and driver have worked OK for me on some other CentOS installations, none of which are 4.4. Short of replacing the board, which you can bet I will do, can anybody

Hello, I'm top-posting my own thread with some homework I've done, can somebody help? In short, the problem is that kernel 2.6.18-53 (as per 5.1 installation) works OK while any kernel update makes booting impossible in Enhanced SATA mode. For newer kernels, only Compatible mode works, but at a very heavy cost in performance. The motherboard is ASUS P5GC-MX and the disk is ATA WDC

Out of the blue, dmesg on my HP Proliant w/ a SCSI disk gives loads of messages like this one: EXT3-fs error (device dm-0) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted Then the root fs goes read-only, so little else can be done on the machine. LVM locks up. At restart, fs needs a reboot to recover after fsck. The host starts up ok, then I am given some more minutes before the problem reappears.

I want to check some client OpenVPN TUN interfaces with MRTG running at my VPN server, so I have to specify their OID interface numbers in mrtg.cfg. The problem is, these numbers are dynamic, as they may change whenever OpenVPN restarts for any reason... so, how can I write stanzas such as Target[somehostvpninterface] : ifInOctets.X&ifOutOctets.X:public@ <SOMEHOST.IP> without wiring up

Hello, Can someone give any advice on installing Lotus Domino 7 on Centos 4.2? Replacing /etc/redhat-release contents by Nahant signature does the trick?

Hello, The Custom Kernel Howto says: With the buildroot correctly set up, it's time to modify the kernel configuration. Change directory to ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.`uname -m`/ and copy either the appropriate type of configuration file (base, xen; if 32-bit architecture, PAE (for CentOS-5) or base, smp, xenU; if 32-bit architecture, hugemen; if 64-bit architecture,

Hello, Can somebody recommend CentOS-OK, dual socket motherboards for compute elements? A quick look up at Intel pages suggests they are thinking of them as "server boards", but then they recommend them as "for SMB", I'm somewhat puzzled about it. It would be nice to know what MBs you are using, pros and cons. Thank you in advance -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad
