Hello. Hope you can help me further. I can vaguely remember that once I saw a reference how to preconfigure debconf in puppet manifests. So you can define answers in debconf inside of manifests. No idea where anymore. Anybody knows? greetinx Christo

Sorry to be so slow in responding. I've done what you suggested. I created /etc/sysconfig/desktop and entered "$DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM". I rebooted but there was no change. GDM is still being used. Any other suggestions? mw ======================== Just create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and put in it: DESKTOP=KDM I believe it's DESKTOP - you can dbl check /etc/X11/prefdm

I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a quad-four box. The model only indicated dual core but CentOS is telling me there are four. This is the first multi-core Linux installation I've had. What is the best way to utilize the multi-core CPUs? I'd like to distribute the load but I'm unsure how to do that. mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites

Hello, We generally use CentOS for some servers, and so do not use a GUI interface. However, I have recently installed CentOS 6.3 onto a PC with KDE. I am familiar with KDE as I use it with Fedora for my work PC. The problem is that we would like to configure the login screen, so that it does not show the user list, that it does not allow the shutdown or reboot commands (from the login screen),

Hi, in r176827 the optimization that turns invokes with empty landing pads into plain calls was disabled for invocations of function with the "uwtable" attribute. But given this code: struct S { ~S() {}; }; void blackbox(); __attribute__((__noinline__)) void inner() { blackbox(); } int foo() { S s; inner(); return 0; } int bar() {

...ng right now is that it has something to do with the -L option, but I couldn't seem to find anything detailing this specific situation online or in the man file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent many a long hour trying to work this out to no avail. Thanks! -Joel "Smiting his breast, he reproached his heart with word.

Hello, I have been running multiple exec scripts that could run in parallel. Does puppet run as much as possible in parallel? If it does not, is there a way to specify that actions may be run in parallel? Also, is puppet a multiple or single thread application? Thank you, -- Rob -- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam

I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a new system. I've a nagging problem that I'm trying to fix---the screen resolution changes. I've a flat screen monitor that has 1600x900 capability. However when I logout and then log back in the resolution changes to 1280x1024. When I looked at the xorg.conf.d directory it was empty---both in /etc and in /usr/share. Where is xorg.conf and

Can I directly upgrade (update?) from my current 6.5 box to version 7? Or, must I wipe my drives and install from scratch? mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search

Hi, I have a Type * which may come from an IntegerType as shown below: Type.getIntegerBitWidth() tells me numBits. But how to extract the IntegerType.getSignBit? If pType isIntegerType, I need to know if it is signed or unsigned... How to achieve this?

I'm replacing my old Fedora 7 mail server with a new one running CentOS6.3. The old server uses plain-text logins and password for pop3 and IMAP. I'm unable to get dovecot to authenticate.

Why doesn''t the yum provider support version, I tried added ensure -> ''ver'' and it barfs up (on clients) with: <snip> err: //stan.gbuild.org/any-host/java/Package[j2sdk]/ensure: change from 1.4.2_12-fcs to 1.4.2_13-fcs failed: Package provider yum does not support specifying versions at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ java.pp:13 </snip>

I have an established server initially created with CentOS 6.5 and updated weekly. Last week there was a massive update that I believe upgraded my server to 6.6. I had a number of issues after the upgrade---like my firewall being turned on and blocking all inbound ports. (I have an external firewall.) I've fixed all the issues created by this upgrade except for one. I have a number of samba

I've a small system that I use to support a number of churches. I provide web and email for them. My current server is running CentOS 6.3 with paired 1TB drives in a RAID1 configuration. It works well. One filesystem is very large, >500GB, and contains numerous large files: SQL, docs, church libraries in ebook and digital form, plus stored videos of church services. My problem is that

Following Luke''s very successful Puppet talk at GLLUG in London, which was so over-subscribed there were people queueing outside and pressing their little faces up against the glass, I wonder if the market will bear a London Puppet meet? If there are more than two or three people interested it might be worth arranging something, perhaps a pub session where we can talk about what

I''ve just noticed that Puppet is failing to automatically apply changes when running as a Red Hat service. Changes get applied with no problems or errors when I run Puppet manually with "puppetd --test" but fail with a "Could not apply complete configuration: Parsed Providers must define a default target" error in /var/log/messages when the service runs automatically

How are people upgrading puppet itself on their hosts that run puppetd? Can puppet be used to upgrade to a new puppet package via gem, rpm or some other package provider? How do you handle restarting? Just hoping theres a better way than "ssh and a for loop" or having to have another configuration management system installed.

Greetings! Are there any plans of using Kerberos for authentication in addition to (or in place of) SSL certificates in Puppet? Kerberos provides mutual, cryptographically strong authentication. A number of different services are Kerberos-enabled (SSH, NFSv4 and HTTP are common examples), and thus use the same authentication mechanism system-wide. At our site, almost all services and users are

Hey y''all: I''ve added some new stuff to mongrel_cluster. Give it try and let me know if it works for you. * Added ''--clean'' to cluster::start to force removal of the pidfile before trying to start the cluster member. This is useful for recovering from unexpected process death. * Added ''--only PORT'' to cluster::* to support running a

We have a Xen 3.0 / Linux kernel 2.6.15 machine with the domU''s configured for shared /home directories. One of the domU''s is an NFS server, exporting /home, and the other domU''s all mount this. It all functions fine, but it''s pretty slow. I tried untarring a recent Linux kernel tarball. On the NFS server domU this takes about 25 seconds. I didn''t
