Re: mother board / cpu problem?

That's a Socket AM2 motherboard, meaning you have an Athlon64 in it. Which means you've most likely just got a 32 bit OS installed, not that the motherboard is 32 bit. If you're running linux, what's the output from "uname -a"? Cheers, Chris

Ever so slightly off on a tangent ... one of my personal all time favorites (and no it isn't original with me) ... find . -type f | xargs file | grep -i text | cut -f1 -d: | xargs grep "search string" ... which can always have the following tagged to the end ... > filename Regards Fred James

Puppet has two parts (as far as the packages anyway), the puppet client (in the puppet package) and the puppetmaster (in the puppet-server package). If you are running it all on one box, you'd want both packages installed. Puppet is really cool, but it is mainly intended for managing multiple systems. Honestly, it's probably overkill for your setup. :)

Ok. Installed Ruby and Puppet. Created a "basic" site.pp file (/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp). Am told to run /usr/bin/puppetmasterd --mkusers. /usr/bin/puppetmasterd doesn't exist. There is a /usr/bin/puppet. Tried /usr/bin/puppet --mkusers. Puppet locked up. ???????? - fleet -

mother board / cpu problem?

Dennis Simmers — 2008-10-08T00:33:44

Most likely I'm an idiot, but I have a gigabyte motherboard with a dual core AMD 64 bit processor. I just tried downloading an AMD64 version of virtual box and it told me I've got the wrong configuration, meaning I need the I386 version. I'm thinking I got a 32 bit motherboard, is that possible?

If you need more, I'm sure that I can rustle up several. I hope that person doesn't expect them to be usable -- doesn't the magnetism deteriorate?

Hmmmmm. Yum actually knows about it. Checking out the web site now. I keep a file called README that I put stuff like this in; but the last time I needed DIR_COLORS was like 10 years ago and I hadn't started the README file. - fleet -

[...] Just for posterity... Now that you've found it and changed it, this would be a good time to move your modified copy to ~/.dircolors and add it to your local revision control system (and, for super-extra-bonus-points, into puppet). ;-) That way, in 6 months or a year when you setup a new box you won't have to go hunting for what file controls your ls colors.

Cher: "I can see clearly now, the blue is gone!" I just found it - finally! Thanks Nathan and Todd! Actually I changed the colors in DIR_COLORS.xterm - which changes the background colors. Looks a little funky; but with my eyesight it actually helps! - fleet -

Re: Colors

Todd Zullinger — 2008-10-07T20:47:18

/etc/DIR_COLORS* This is sourced by /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh (for bash). The default setup on Red Hat / CentOS prefers /etc/DIR_COLORS.$TERM if it exists, which usually means you default to /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm. I prefer the non-xterm version, as the directory listings and such are bold. So, on my systems, I usually do this: cp -p /etc/DIR_COLORS ~/.dircolors . /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh # <- note the '.' at the beggining! :) Then, you can customize ~/.dircolors as you like, if you still need to do so.

Nathan Powell — 2008-10-07T20:24:16

/etc/DIR_COLORS is the file you are talking about.

All I find there is the ability to switch from white on black to black on white. Well, sorta, maybe. I had black on white (which seemed to be the default). I always wanted white on black and Nathan made the change. But Fred is on the right track. The file display colors (especially the images) are impossible to see against a black background. I thought there was an conf file somewhere that listed the file types with the colors next to them - and which could be modified. Currently, for example, image listings (jpg/gif/etc) show up as some sore of dark purple that blends with the black. - fleet -

Re: Colors

Fred James — 2008-10-07T19:57:08

Nathan Powell I think his display has the different items (file, directory, executable, etc) in different colors - some of those can be difficult to see against a light background like white or light yellow. I usually stick to the "white on black" color scheme, where those colors, and the ones within vim, show up at their best. Hope that helps Regards Fred James

Re: Colors

Nathan Powell — 2008-10-07T19:37:40

Heh. Since you are using gnome-terminal, I changed it in the Edit -> Current Profile -> Colors section. I am not entirely sure what you mean by "I can't see the directory listings", as I was cd'ing and ls'ing all over the place and could see it just fine. Can you elaborate?

Fleet Teachout — 2008-10-07T19:25:46

I've (actually Nathan) changed my terminal display to white on black. Now I can't see the directory listings. I can't for the life of me remember where the color scheme for terminal is located. I've found a couple places where I can diddle with the ANSI codes; but I don't think these are what I need. Isn't there a list that says "image", "directory" etc and allows color selection? - fleet -

5.25" floppies?

I just ran across somebody who's looking to acquire a pile of 5.25" floppies, used is fine. Do any of you guys have some of these that you want to get rid of?

If anyone else wants the chance to ask some questions on OpenNMS or open source projects let me know by tomorrow night (Wednesday Oct. 8th)and I'll reserve a bigger table. Jeff B. http://www.lbcharrisburg.com/Menu.html If anyone is interested... The week of Oct 6th - 10th Tarus Balog, an OpenNMS maintainer will be in town on helping us tweak our system. If there is enough interest we could have an unofficial cplug meeting at one evening ABC or LBC or Panera.... So let me know and I'll pull something together. Jeff B.
