Semi-OT question: os-prober is in CentOS, but I never see it running. I've got a server that's Ubuntu 18.04, and it seems to be running it every night, which confuses me - I can see no reason for that. Since ubuntu is o/t, feel free to email me offlist - the only thing I've found in some googling is to chmod -x /...

I installed CentOS 7 on a Shuttle X27D box (dual-core Atom 330), and so far it seems to work fine, but it didn't set up a Grub2 entry for the existing Windows XP installation in the first partition (MBR). Running os-prober generates no output. fdisk shows that the NTFS partition is still present as /dev/sda1, and still has the bootable flag set. I added a menuentry for Windows to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom: menuentry "Windows" { set root=(hd0,1) chainloader +1 } and ran: grub2-mkconfig >/boot/...

If I boot into CentOS on my home server from a Live CD or USB stick and go to Troubleshoot, it lists OS's it finds on the machine. How does it find these OS's? Presumably it looks through all the partitions on all the hard disks for something that looks like an OS? But how exactly does it identify an OS? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College,

Hi, Thanks for your answer. During the Debian jessie installation, I had a problem at grub step. The os-prober part was stuck : grub was at 66 % (os-prober tried to browse all the VM on LVM partitions) After more than 15 minutes, os-prober seems to be stuck, so I rebooted the server. I had to boot in rescue mode, then, reinstalled grub and modified it to add "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true". It seems...

As of the latest updates to anaconda and grub2 for Fedora 18, it is now possible to install with /boot as a btrfs subvolume. The way that grub2 is handling this is the "reach down" to the files it needs as if the subvolume was a directory. Is this OK? At this point I am not worried about snapshots or any other complexities. If the subvolume name is known. should grub2 be able to

...nce RHEL 7 installed GRUB2, I had problem that RHEL 7 is default boot. My personal solution was to go to /etc/grub.d and run command: mv 10_linux 31_linux grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Explanation: - /etc/grub.d is where grub2 writes down config files used to create boot menu. - OS-prober creates 30_os-prober file in /etc/grub.d - 10_linux is created for RHEL/CentOS 7.x system installed. If you change order of files in /etc/grub.d (numbers at the start of the files) the list generated with grub2-mkconfig will change order in the GRUB2 menu :) Fedora/RHEL 7.x have a changed GRUB...

I just setup a new server for a client and everything is running well. I added and setup all the users from the cli just because that's how I'm used to doing it. I tried using the samba gui that comes with CentOS 4.03 and I tried Webmin but nether one will add the user proberly to the tdbsam database. They add the user fine to the /etc/passwd file but samba does not get updated properly. My client wants to be able to do this himself and not call me everytime and I'd prefer not to have to type out CLI type instructions. There must be a gui of some sort that work...

...et. Now I can ping from behind to behind. With Windows 98 I can search a computer which is in the other subnet and find the the computer. But...only the other computer is NOT a samba server. Means a w2k or w98 is ok. If I'm looking for the samba in the other subnet, I get no match. But I can proberly use w2k to get access in the other subnet on the samba server. The only combination that not works is win98 to samba (yes smbclient/linux works too). And I was not searching for the computer by name I was only searching by the ip address. Does anybody have an idea what the problem can be? tha...

Did the grub2-mkconfig actually work correctly? 1. Is it safe to ignore the errors and reboot? 2. This seems to be an old bug in os-prober, that was fixed years ago - has it slipped back in? mark

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64 Version: 4.4.1-9 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi, I was running Debian Wheezy (amd64) and xen-hypervisor 4.1 on a Dell PowerEdge R720. Xen was working fine. Xen was configured with LVM Now, I'm trying Debian Jessie (amd64) and I have a strange problem. After booting, Xen seems to be working : /etc/init.d/xen status ? xen.service

I know that in el7, grub2 uses os-prober (http://joeyh.name/code/os-prober/), which is probably what it uses in the LiveCD. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

...n't understand why there isn't a global voting for this like all the other games. As it is, you can only vote on different versions of it. The combined votes of all the "versions" would be 41, which I think serves to highlight how much a game like this would be nice to get working proberly on wine. Instead its only sitting at a low 17. Doesn't this seem a bit wrong? P.S This could be me just having a moan because the only reason I still use windows is because of my love of CoH. :P

Has anyone had this experience with WINE? I wasn't doing anything very unusual (or sophisticated). I had run Quicken just to see if it worked, which it did fine. I had also run my ACR program (see prior post) in debug mode to see if I could get any other ideas about get it to function proberly. Then I notice that my Program Files directory is empty? Eventually I find all the contents in this new directory called "!$!$!$!$.pfr" which contains some additional directories with "corrupt" sounding names? This is a bigger problem than I want to mess with; so whatever...

Hi, I,m running Samba 3.0.1-2 on a RedHat 9.0 box, and would like to use the "User Manager for Domains" tool to control users and groups. But i can't get it to work proberly.

Question 1: has anyone used preupgrade (I used it with fc 17 -> 19, and it pretty much appeared to work, but that was on a couple of worksttions)? Opinions? Question 2: is grub still supported, or is there something that *FORCES* you to use grub2? mark "grub2 must DIE!"
