Kernel statistics package availability?
Are there any good packages (or just places to look) to observe and
track kernel behavior (other than to add such and build a custom
kernel)?
I'm doing some performance analysis on different types of i/os on
different file systems, and I need far more sophisticated information
than iostat or vmstat produce. Any useful suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks.

Screensaver flashing instead of normal function
I rebooted my machine this morning and now instead of running normally, my
GLMatrix screen saver flashes as it repaints the screen, more and more
noticeably as the screen fills up with glyphs. I didn't change ANYTHING and
this was not happening before the boot.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be?
Thanks.

Missing samba binaries
I went to enable samba on my home machine, which has a largely plain vanilla
install of CentOS 4.4 Plus, and the smbd and nmbd files are missing. As you
may know, this makes it rather difficult to run samba. For some reason, the
winbindd binary is present, and rpm reports:
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11
as present. So how do I retrieve the missing samba binaries/ Do

Trouble connecting to CentOS 5.0 host sound device from Windows guest on VMWare Workstation 5.5.4
I am running VMWare Workstation 5.5.4 on a CentOS 5.0 host
(2.6.18-8.1.4 kernel) and I have been haiving some trouble with my
sound device on the Guest Windows XP SP2 OS. When I first had trouble
under CentOS 4.4, WS 5.5.3, it was usually when the sound device on
the host was actually busy. However, now I can't use the sound device
at all - I keep getting this error: "Failed to open sound

Changing from NTFS to ext3
I want to convert all my NTFS partitions to ext3 since I'm no longer
running Windows, at least on my main machine at home. I'm planning to
tar the NTFS partitions to an existing ext3, reformat the partition as
ext3 and untar it back.
What is the best way to accomplish step two of this - reformatting the
partition? I've only done this so far during the installation phase,
and that

Open Office on CentOS
I notice that the OO that comes with CentOS 4.4 is version 1.1.5, which
is fairly ancient. Are there any plans to update this for OO 2.2, or
2.1, or 2.0? Or is this a RH thing exclusively? In which case is
CentOS Plus likely to get a more recent version?
OO 2.0 is way better....

Stumped: kernel 2.6.18-8 source doesn't build???
I installed the kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.src.rpm today and went to build
it, but it fails with this error:
$ rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec
Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
error: Failed build dependencies:
unifdef is needed by kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64
I double checked and this appears to be the latest kernel source rpm

Good things about CentOS 5; problem with flash in seamonkey
I'd like to point out that overall I am quite pleased with CentOS 5,
although I am having more fun with it than I did with 4.4 and I knew
less about CentOS then (duh).
Most things seem to work fine, including a relatively smooth
installation from the DVD image I downloaded, although the number of
screensavers I can see (and this could be related to the ATI/dual head
problem) is pathetically

Another CentOS 5 oddity: reboot and the X server fails to come up
I had to reboot my work machine today, and it came up in text mode
(!). I did an init 5, but that had no effect (wrong command?). I
killed the three gdm processes, and voila, X server mode.
Where do I look to find out what is not right here?
Thanks.

AcroRead failing miserably in CentOS 5.0
I could swear that this was working just last week, but now when I run
the Adobe Acrobat reader, it hangs. If I run it "directly"
(/usr/bin/acroread) with -DEBUG as the first argument, I get an
infinite loop of:
expr: syntax error
I tried removing and reinstalling it, but no change.
Any ideas?

MPlayer doesn't seem to work right in CentOS 5
I could be mixed up here, but I have mplayer working perfectly at home

Is it possible/advisable to run CentOS 4.4 and 5.0 on the same box
We are in the process of transiting from 4.4 to 5.0 and I may need to
be able to switch back and forth for a while. Is it possible (or
advisable) to run both 4.4 and 5.0 on the same machine, or does that
involve a lot of reinstalling/repartitioning and a fair amount of pain
(I have only one disk on the test machine for this purpose).
I'd rather just go to 5.0, but that's not up to me at

Topic filtering on this list
Someone suggested in an earlier thread about possibly splitting this
list (by release or some other topical divide), and it was suggested
that people use list filters to extract the topics (release 5.0 was
the one mentioned) of interest.
I may have gone to the wrong place, but I did go to the mailing list
subscription control page for mine, and there are no topics defined on
which one may filter.

CentOS 4 won't boot on test machine
I must have really shot myself in the foot on this one.
I reinstalled CentOS 4.4 (have to, for now) on my test machine,
exactly the way it was before (same options anyway), but when it comes
up, I get:

App for burning CD from MP3s
I would like to be able to make an audio CD directly from some mp3
files I have. I know that isn't the best way due to the lossy nature
of the MP3 format, but that's ok for this purpose.
K3b is supposed to be able to do this, but I got an unsupported file
type error when I tried this. I installed the python-mad decoder that
is listed in the k3b document, but I don't see how to get

Oddity with kernel built under CentOS 5.0
Yesterday I found a need to have the NTFS module support in my CentOS
5.0 at home, so I happily installed the 8.1.4 source, prepped it
(after deleting the rhel and olpc lines per Johnny's notice earlier in
this list), made the config with a ".nx" version name using make

to include the # x86_64 line and copying it

Cpuspeed
How necessary is it to run this gem on a desktop with a constant power
supply? It doesn't seem to be all that useful, except if there's some
significant power consumption advantage to lowering the cpu speed. Doesn't
the CPU run at full speed unless throttled down by temperature, or is that
what this thing does (for desktops)?
Thanks.
