My two other posts on FFmpeg entitled “Installing ffmpeg on CentOS 5” and “SELinux with ffmpeg” already explained in deep how to get FFmpeg up and running. Unfortunately, today one of our servers just reported a plain: ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when [...]
My favorite choice for running a Linux Server is CentOS, since it is based on the RedHat distribution you can rest assured you will get a top notch enterprise offering and stability. As with all things “enterprise” the priority is on stability and security and not on the latest code releases. This works 99% of [...]
SELinux is a good thing, but it also requires you to watch out on some libraries. Sometimes, something just fails, because SELinux does not allow it to run. This so happens when you have SELinux installed and want to run FFMpeg. I just run into this when I tried to run FFMpeg and got this [...]
Oracle Database 11g brings lot of new enhancements, especially in the Memory management. Oracle 11g allows you to allocate one chunk of memory, which Oracle uses to dynamically manage both the SGA and PGA. Automatic memory management is configured using two new initialization parameters: MEMORY_TARGET: The amount of shared memory available for Oracle to use [...]
I run into some issues trying to update subversion on our Linux 64-bit (CentOS) servers. In other words, RPM always complained on some missing dependencies from a old version and aborted the upgrade. The error lines were of the nature; Transaction Check Error: file /{filesuchandsuch} from install of subversion-1.5.6-0.1.el5.rf I mean, I had the old [...]
A minimal installation of a new Linux box feel just about right. You can feel the power of Linux as it just sits there and waits for the tasks you can throw at it. This, or something alike it, I felt when I installed a minimal CentOS on my new server. A couple of yum’s [...]
My primary Linux distribution of choice is CentOS. CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by RedHat. Thus CentOS is merely speaking a copy of RedHat and provides the same stability and security. The trade off with stability and security is, that you mostly run packages which are [...]
I run a couple of servers over at a server farm. All of those machines run VMWare ESX, so today I wanted to move my last physical server to a VMWare image. If you want to convert a physical Windows machine then your task is quite easy. Start up the freely available VMWare Converter and [...]
My previous settings for the CentOS NetInstall did not work anymore. So, I was hunting around for the right ones. In the end, I found that the below ones work the best: This is for the HTTP one Host: mirrors.kernel.org Directory: centos/5.2/os/i386
