Hello, Is it possible to get the name that was set in a VM's xen config file from the guest machine? I'm interested in having my kickstart launch a script that can configure hostname, but to do that it would need to get the name set in the config. Thanks, Ryan

Hi all, Curious issue.. looking in to how much disk space is being used on a machine (CentOS 5.3). When I compare the output of du vs df, I am seeing a 12GB difference with du saying 8G used and df saying 20G used. # du -hcx / 8.0G total # df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda3 22G 20G 637M 97% / I recognize that in most cases du and df

Hi, I've installed Spotify in Linux following the instructions at spotify.com. When I try to start it through wine I get a strange message and Spotify won't open at all.

Hi, I used to use wine with no problems with version 0.9.37 on openSUSE 11.3. Now, I am using wine 1.3, and it causes major problems. My programs are unusable because highlighted text becomes black, and many controls also turn black. Here is a screenshot of wineconf with a clean wine conf directory: [Image: http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4959/snapshot7o.png ] Notice the black "Screen

Hi all, First, I would like to say, that I am a beginner to Wine and I hope I did not brake any rule. To problem: I have Ubuntu 10.10 64bit (on dualboot with Windows 7) and Wine 1.3.26 and I would like to play Bloodline Champions on Ubuntu (the only game I play). I have been trying to install .NET Framework for 3 days. - I installed successfully Framework version 2.0 (dotnet20) with Winetricks - I

There is a lot of talk about the vulnerable Linux kernel. I'm simply wondering the telltale signs if a given system has been hacked? What, specifically, does a person look for? Thanks. Scott

Hi all, I have a PowerEdge 1950 that was acting weird. Network connectivity was only performing at a quarter of what was expected (if that). Even if I scp'd something to localhost it would perform poorly. Rather than fight with it, I just decided to reload it. It was running 5.3, and it is now running 5.4. However, when I go to boot it gets stuck at starting udev. If I let it sit

Hi, I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so if this belongs more on another list, please let me know. I am trying to get Autofs configured to use LDAP on CentOS5.3, but am running into an inconsitency. On CentOS5.3, the openldap server is installed with an extra schema/redhat/autofs.schema file. From what I can tell, that schema file seems to follow RFC2307bis. In the

I have centOS5.3 installed in the system. I have never updated it but now am planning to update. While doing "yum update", is there any possibility that the update might hamper the execution of any software/application installed on the system? Is there anything particular to note before updating the system? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello all, I have a PowerEdge 2950 that I am using to host Windows XP VM's under CentOS. I am experiencing poor performance in the Xen VM's. Any time I try to do something, the CPU usage (as reported by the Windows task manager) hits 100% for a few and then drops back down. This is causing the VM's to run sluggish and be quite annoying to use. Example.. I click IE.. cpu hits

When I open the screensaver windows in the kde, I find that it is blocked . I switch to the gnome, it is the same.

I've been having an odd problem lately. When I drag files from the computer to a flash drive, they appear to copy, but when I try to use the files I find that only the name was copied (file size of 0). When I copy the same files to the same flash drive, from the terminal, everything seems to work. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? It's starting to get a little frustrating.

Hi all, Annoying issue.. my ThinkPad T61 has an iwl4965 wireless card. When I have the wireless switch on, I experience a lot of issues.. system keeps freezing..unfreezing..freezing..etc. Sometimes, a soft lockup is logged to /var/log/messages. psmouse.c also sometimes throws an error saying the mouse lost synchronization. Obviously, this is causing the system to freeze for a sec and

Hello all, I am setting up freenx on a machine and I am able to connect to it remotely. However, when I connect and start xfce it does not appear to use the correct settings. It acts like it is a whole different user. It is starting the desktop environment as the nx user rather than myself. Is there any way to have the NX server connect as myself rather than having a whole separate

I'm up for a cell phone contract renewal and am considering upgrading my handset. I looked at some devices at my local AT&T store but nothing really jumped out at me. I'm particularly interested in a cell phone that has a reliable ssh client, with ssh-agent and public key authentication abilities. Those of you who administer systems remotely, what mobile ssh client do you recommend?

Greetings, What are some registrars that members of this list have had good experience with? I was stepping through the godaddy checkout process, and being opted-in to a dozen different upsell features just left a bad impression.

Sorry for the OT... I'm looking for some software to fill a fairly specific set of requirements. I'm not necessarily looking for project software, but it seems like the closest to match what I need. I'm also not tied into open source or free. If anyone knows of any software that might fill these requirements I would appreciate it. Here's what I'm looking for: 1) Web enabled
