Hi, is there anybody understanding HAL? I use CentOS 4 (RHEL 4) I need set specific mount options for USB flash disk. I found I can do it in /usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy/storage-policy.fdi <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.fstype"

I bought a new CyberPower CP850AVRLCD ups, connected it to a usb port and I'm trying to use it with hal. I installed [root at phoenix ~]# rpm -q nut nut-client nut-2.2.0-6.1.fc8 nut-client-2.2.0-6.1.fc8 lsusb sees it: [root at phoenix docs]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0c45:1050 Microdia Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Hello. I need to set up a mail server for a small (~5 people) organization on CentOS 5.1. While I am very familiar with CentOS and Linux in general, I have zero experience in setting up a POP3(s)/SMTP mail server. I suppose eventually I'd like to do spam/virus filtering, but initially the simple sending/receiving of mail will be adequate. Can someone point me to a tutorial on setting

Since updating from 4.5 to 4.6 yesterday, I am getting a lot of CUPS errors. The error.log file is filling up with these messages: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! And the access.log seems to be being polled often too, even in the absence of any print jobs submitted. On my network the CUPS-handled printer is exported from Samba. Given that the Samba

Charles, It looks like the buildbot no longer builds (if it ever did, I don remember) the HAL addons, even if the requirements are met: configure:9680: checking for libhal version via pkg-config (0.5.8 minimum required) configure:9690: result: 0.5.11 found configure:9694: checking for libhal cflags via pkg-config configure:9703: result: -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE -I/usr/include/hal

I've got several SMP machines, some running CentOS 4.3 and some running Fedora Core 4. All machine are kept fully updated. A few are Pentium3-based and a few are Pentium4-based. They are all running the irqbalance daemon. The distribution of interrupts across CPUs is indeed kept balanced, yet even after months of uptime ps shows no CPU use whatsoever by irqbalance. This from a

CentOS v5.1 insists on loading about a dozen audio-related drivers at boot time. Since this is a server machine, it will never run applications that require sound output. I tried setting "alias snd_cs46xx off" in modprobe.conf. Yet the system still loads that driver and the many, many other audio drivers that go with it. How can I disable the loading of audio drivers at boot

While investigating my earlier Sendmail confusion I noticed these files: # ll /var/lib/imap/db/ total 15952 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 16384 Jan 22 04:02 __db.001 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 663552 Jan 22 04:02 __db.002 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 98304 Jan 22 04:02 __db.003 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 22568960 Jan 22 04:02 __db.004 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 32768 Jan 22 04:02 __db.005 -rw-------

[I posted this problem a couple of weeks ago and got no responses. So I'm trying again] I have a couple of applications on a WinXP/SP2 system that use data files on a Samba (v2.2.12, on Linux) shared drive. Immediately after booting the WinXP system these data files cannot be seen, yet become visible when the share is browsed with Windows Explorer. These applications are started

Hi, since the last few days my system crashs at startup of gdm (on system boot). If I choose runlevel 2, the system doesn't crash. I found out, that HAL is the problem. After disabling hal (chkconfig haldaemon --off) no crashes appear. The system freezes completly so I can't look into the logfiles. I removed an reinstalled hal already, but nothing changed. I tried older kernels

On my CentOS v5.2 server (dual Pentium4) the OpenSSH daemon stands out as being the most CPU-intensive of the applications running, It's used 176 minutes of CPU time in the last 2 days alone. Is there any way to lower the CPU utilization without compromising security? (I.e. without using a less processor-intensive encrypt/decrypt algorithm?) I'm getting the CPU use figures from top,

It seems that the mirrors are now all sync'd with the binary RPMs, but where are the source packages? The source RPMs are available for the few packages updated since the upstream 5.3 release, but the SRPMS for the release itself are missing. Example: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.3/os/ has directories containing the x86 and x86_64 binaries, but should also have a SRPMS directory.

How can I completely disable audio drivers and services in my CentOS7 system? This system is a server that will never run any audio applications. The problem is, I can't disable the audio device in my BIOS, so the system finds it in the PCI device list and configures it on each boot. Yes, I know I can blacklist specific device driver modules, but I've got a minimum of 11

When an OS/2 or Win9x client logs into a (Linux) Samba v2.0.6 server the running smbd spawns a copy of itself. That second instance of smbd then handles all the shares for that client machine. In contrast, a Linux client which does multiple smbmounts (also Samba v2.0.6) will cause the server to spawn a copy of smbd for *each* smbmount mountpoint. This has the potential for using up a lot more

I've been having a problem for a while: when booting, haldaemon will fail, leaving me without CD/DVD and floppy drives available. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so, can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks for listening, Dick -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I've tried several recipes found with google, but hal likes to grab the USB ups before nut can get it. There are a number of klugey workarounds, like turn off port power until ready to start nut (so that hal doesn't see the UPS). Or killall hal-addon-hid-ups before starting nut. Here is one of recipes I googled: https://github.com/sdgathman/trippfix/blob/master/halpolicy.fdi It

Hi All, I had an issue. Manually installing Centos 6 everything worked X11 came up with nvidia binary drivers. Cool. However, I am working on a kickstart install for Centos 6 and that was not working. When I started X it would hang. no mouse no keyboard. however , remote ssh was available and worked. Thinking I had some serious bug in nvidia binary was my thought - but I kept looking. I saw

When I attempted to build Samba (v2.0.7) on a LynxOS (v3.1) box I was told that configure could determine my operating system. LynxOS, for those that don't know, is a Unix-like RTOS. It comes with a binary version of Samba, but a) it's old and b) it's not built for encrypted passwords which means I can't access it from WinNT. Can anyone advise me on what it would take to build

Hi fellows, I'm really pleased to announce that a first stage of NUT and HAL [1] integration has been reached: NUT drivers (in fact, only newhidups, tripplite_usb and bcmxcp_usb for the moment) can feed HAL data. It's a "quick and dirty" hack, as a proof of concept, and there is still lots of things to be done, both on NUT and HAL sides. But it's a good base, and very

In the course of upgrading from CentOS 5.4 to CentOS 5.5 I changed from using the samba (v3.0.x) packages to the samba3x (v3.3.8) packages, mostly because the newer version was said to better support Win7. The Samba server services Linux, WinXP, and Win7 clients. Now I get many, many errors logged to the Samba logs shortly after 3:00 AM, but only from the Win7 clients. I get roughly 430
