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

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.

smartd stalls the system on reboot
I have begun to notice that the smartd stalls my machine's boot process for
as much as 2-3 minutes while it is coming up. I have the BIOS SMART
function enabled, and I removed the bad SG400GB drive from the box
yesterday, but I think this goes back farther than that.
Why does it take so long? Is the BIOS SMART involved in this (and how)?
Also, sendmail and sm-client take 30s-2m to come up

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

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
on centos/5.0/os/SRPMS.

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.

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

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

Login problem on CentOS 4.4 GDM [SOLVED]
Found it - permissions on /tmp were 755 (long story). When reset to
777, everything works fine.

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....

Login problem on CentOS 4.4 GDM
I have just restructured my system (repartitioned the main disk to
separate /home from /) and I am now getting this error when I try to
log in as a non-root user:
Your session only hasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged
out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem

Looking for a good disk exerciser
I recently added a Seagate 400Gb SATA drive to my system, and it has been
behaving strangely since I put it in. for one thing, the BIOS S.M.A.R.T.
came up with a warning the last time I booted with it enabled, saying that I
should backup my data and replace the disk (!).
I still have not made any irreversible data transfers to this drive, and I
have some time yet to take it back, but I'd

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.

Evolution problem - not sending/receiving any more
Not at all clear on what happened. I haven't downloaded my mail from
gmail into Evolution for a couple of days, and today I changed my
gmail password. Even though I told Evolution to forget my passwords
and had to reenter them, I am unable to receive any email from the
server. I get a quick "retrieving Pop summary" and then the window
vanishes and nothing gets downloaded.

CentOS 5 fresh install fails at io scheduler setup
As long as I'm still awake, I tried to install CentOS 5 (earlier) from
a DVD I downloaded via bittorrent about a week or so ago. It boots
fine, but once it starts to load the kernel (in graphics mode), it
gets to the point where it announces the four i/o schedulers and then
stops dead. No disk activity, no DVD activity, nada.
Is there a known problem here and if so what, or is this a new

Never mind - it had to be a gmail problem because this morning it

Looking for a better way to build
I have been following the wiki on how to build a custom kernel, and it works
great.
Except, I am doing ongoing work with the internals of the kernel, and it is
really awkward to set up a change and then build it using the standard
methodology (edit the file to change, diff it against the original to make a
patch file, rebuild the whole thing).
Isn't there a way (and what is it) to play

CentOS 5 and the nvidia driver
Has anyone with an nvidia video card had issues with CentOS 5 so far?
I've been holding off on installing 5 at home because of the trouble
I've been having with my video here at work, but here I have that
lovely ATI card and there I have a geFORCE 7100gs and am, so far,
successfully using the nvidia driver with CentOS 4.4 without
significant problems.
Just wondering....
