I keep reading that RHEL/CentOS 5 supports blktrace, but I can't seem to find the blktrace/blkparse utilities. Is it that just the functionality is available in the kernel, but the user is left to have to hunt down the latest versions of the utilities on the net? If anybody knows where to get the latest versions of these utilities I would greatly appreciate it. Ross S. W. Walker

I forgot the most important part in the original, the kernel! (I hope the ASCII art doesn't get mangled) I have been working a while trying to get a big picture of how Linux handles sound processing and after much work I have put together this little representation of what I have learned. Please send me any additional comments or components that I may have missed. I hope it helps somebody

I have my NIS user/group files separate from the system user/group files using libuser to manage them and that works well, but I am trying to find a way to get libuser to invoke a 'make' of the NIS maps whenever it updates the master files. Is there a routine I can configure in libuser to do this, or am I stuck having to do it by cron? Ross S. W. Walker Information Systems Manager

I have a couple 64-bit CentOS 5 installations here and was wondering if there was a yum option to have it install only x86_64 arch by default if no arch is specified. I tired of having to append .x86_64 on all package names I only want the x86_64 versions of, if I want the i386 versions too I would add the .i386 package to the list... Thanks All, Ross S. W.

Ok, I got blktrace installed, but I also have some blktrace system taps that I want to test out, but it seems I need to have the kernel debug info installed to get systemtap working. Anyone know where the CentOS kernel-debuginfo RPMs are located? Ross S. W.

To all, I was wondering if it was possible to setup samba shares that use subversion as a backing store for the files. Whenever a new file is created it is added to the subversion tree, whenever a file is opened it is checked out of the subversion tree, and whenever it is deleted it is removed from the subversion tree. The idea is that one could use subversion to retain previous versions of

Are there any RPM wizards out there that know how to specify a different architecture for a subpackage in a spec file? I have a package that has a binary component and a non-binary component that I would like split into 2 packages one, the binary which is architecture dependant and the other 'noarch'. I haven't found a spec file that does this yet :-( Ross S. W. Walker

It would be a handy feature to have idmap_ad implement an alloc routine to write back the uid and gid mappings to AD either as SFU attributes or RFC 2307 attributes. I figure this could allow dynamic uid and gid allocation that can be easily preserved across multiple domains in a Windows environment. Has there been any attempt to provide this feature? Ross S. W.

Dear List Members, Is there a way to prevent a kernel from being upgraded unless a list of given dependencies are satisfied? What I am getting at is sometimes updated kernels are available before the upgraded versions of the kernel modules in 'extras' are (ie drbd). If there were a way to list these modules as dependencies that must be satisfied before a kernel upgrade can be

Since I upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5 my system which has 2 sets of ALB bonded interfaces hangs on shutdown while doing an ifdown on these interfaces. Has anyone else seen this issue with 4.5 and bonding?

I am inquiring on the list if anybody knows if the latest plus kernel includes the fixes for MD RAID-1 where it didn't pass down the BIO_RW_SYNC flag on cloned bios. This bug was discovered in December by the DRBD project and patches were posted by Lars Ellenberg from that project to the LKM which were then merged into the 2.6.19 kernel. The bug causes severe performance penalties for

Currently I'm running CentOS 4.4 on a Dell Poweredge 850 with an Intel Pro/1000 Quad-port adapter. I seem to be able to only achieve 80% utilization on the adapter, while on the same box running Fedora Core 5 I was able to reach 99% utilization. I am using iSCSI Enterprise Target as my application and I am using the nullio feature, it just discards any write and sends back random data for

Change -- The program I test with is Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Yesterday's Ubuntu updates produced a rash of pulseaudio changes, and suddenly alsa works with wine, without stumbling. Today's secret to making it work: In System/Preferences/Startup applications, uncheck pulseaudio sudo apt-get install esound sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf autospawn = no Then every time your computer

I have sound problems in Ubuntu Studio, starting yesterday. These may be caused by a Ubuntu bug, but I wanted to run them by wine users and see if anyone else is having a similar problem. My configuration: I use Ubuntu Studio. I installed it clean this morning, with default options. Then I purged pulseaudio (because pulseaudio does not work with wine) asoundconf list shows the following

Hi, I have an integrated soundcard and I have just bought a new sound card to play UltraStar (open source karaoke) in the 2-players mode. This game is know to work fine with wine and the last time (three years ago?) that I did this, it worked without special configuration. But it was an older version of wine, ubuntu and ultrastar and now it seems not to work. The problem is that in the

i've upgraded ubuntu from 7.10 to 8.04 and now the pulseaudio doesnt get along with wine. from my limited knowledge wine doesnt sent the sound correctly at pulseaudio(?) i've found out this link (http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/05/27/make-wine-and-pulseaudio-get-along/) which explains a work around. But unfortunately i dont know if it actually stands. opinions?

Pre wine version 1.2.26 sound worked fine in lotro and the in game audio options page showed the sound card in a dropdown box and titles for all of the sound option slide bars. In 1.3.26 and now 1.3.27 there is no sound in game and the audio options window does not show any sound card or titles for the sound options or various volume slider bars and all of the bars are set at minimum.

Hello, I have a sound problem with wine: when it is running, the sound works fine, but no other application can play any sound. If I have sound playing elsewhere and then launch wine, then wine do not play any sound. I am using pulseaudio, debian sid 64 bits and I can play several sounds at the same time. This problem happen even if pulseaudio is disabled, and with every wine version I tried
