I just rebooted my desktop system to pick up the 5.1 kernel, etc. One oddity I noticed is that the contents of /etc/redhat-release still says: [root at bend etc]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) but: [root at bend etc]# rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/redhat-release centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 On my CentOS 4 box, /etc/redhat-release says: [dave at fraud ~]# cat

I'm trying to get bulk photo uploads working with a Drupal web site. The person who coded the Drupal photos module I'm using decided to use a zip archive as a means of batching together a collection of picture files for a bulk upload. Apache is reporting the following PHP error when the bulk upload feature is used: [Sun Nov 16 22:05:38 2008] [error] [client 192.168.0.192] PHP Fatal

This is an abbreviated version of an e-mail that I also posted to the ndiswrapper mailing list. Compressing the long story, I ran into the same problem using CentOS 5 as I had with Fedora Core 6 and ndiswrapper: my laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000 series with a Broadcom BCM43xx wireless NIC) would lock up or spontaneously reboot after a few hours if I brought up the wireless interface. I also

Since upgrading my server from CentOS 4.5 to 4.6 I've been getting the following error from amanda backups: mutilate /home lev 1 FAILED [compress got signal 11, /bin/tar got signal 13] I was away from the house for most of the end of December and had a couple of other issues that came up that could have been related but apparently weren't (why is it that several things all go wrong

I previously had WPA radius authentication working from my laptop to my home network with the laptop running Fedora Core 6 and the server running freeRadius under CentOS 4.4 (freeradius-1.0.1-3.RHEL4.3). I'm attempting to move my FC 6 boxes to CentOS 5 so I decided to pick on the laptop first. Unfortunately, I neglected to backup /etc before doing the CentOS 5 install (bad Dave, bad

I'm slowly getting everything back to normal here after swapping motherboards on my server. I also took the opportunity to bring the server up to CentOS 5. I'm still getting services working but I have one oddity with amanda. Ever since I upgraded the server to CentOS 5, amcheck dies and gives me a backtrace if there are no available tapes. amcheck works fine if the expected next

I decided to try the x86_64 version of CentOS 5 on my new desktop since it has an Athlon 64 X2 CPU. The one really perplexing oddity is that the monitor no longer goes to power save mode (standby) if the system is idle long enough (e.g., overnight). The "power management" option is set to put the display to sleep after thirty minutes. The display gets blanked but it never goes to

I've been playing around with qemu and wanted to make the guest OS instance visible on my network. This meant getting bridging and tun/tap working. After getting things working by pasting command from the CentOS wiki article plus adding a few enhancements, I decided to capture the process in a shell script that would be suitable for a user in the sudoers file to fire off. Not sure why

Hi all, I would like to announce a CentOS on Laptops initiative.

The goal of this initiative consists of 2 parts: - help and convince people with their own CentOS on laptop installation - promote CentOS on other Laptop websites and fill

I came into an Abit AX8 motherboard and single core AMD Athlon 64 FX. I did a quick install of CentOS 5.0 on it to make sure everything worked and then returned the hard disk and case to the original owner. After getting a new case and hard disk, I downloaded the CentOS 5.1 cd images and installed. For some reason the motherboard's on board sound no longer works (worked with CentOS
