hi all, I have a problem with my CentOS 6.3 distribution only when I restart or turn off the machine it does not restart properly. remains in both cases black screen and then I do not understand exactly what he's doing. grub after I hit send and then darkness. only after that forcement for a further time the power cycle then it works. the kernel version is 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686 where is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I need to remove an entry of inittab which is used to (re)spawn a process: mydemon:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mydemon >/dev/null 2>&1 So, I would comment out that entry and reload init running ``telinit q''. IIRC, this would lead to the currently running daemon being killed. I don't want to /try/ whether I'm right, as those are production systems. Is there any possibility (given that ``telinit q'' kills the running process) to 'keep the process alive' _and_ reload...

...to reset my Gnome interface back to how it was when I first installed it. I'm thinking the steps I need to take are roughtly these, but it would be great if someone could verify that these will be a non-destructive way of getting Gnome back to it's original state: 1. Stop X (By running telinit 3 at a command prompt?) 2. Use YUM to remove Gnome and KDE (#yum remove gnome kde?) 3. Use YUM to install Gnome (#yum install gnome?) 4. restart X (#telinit 5?) Could someone clarify if I have the commands right, and if this process is safe to undertake? Dave

Note that you can actually do 'telinit 3' and telinit 5' with systemd. I do, even though the documentation is a little complainy about it. This maps to `systemctl isolate runlevel3.target` or `systemctl isolate runlevel2.target` (which in turn are symlinks to multi-user.target and graphical.target), and is a lot less typing. :)...

...isn't in this target should stop and anything that is should start'. You can do `systemctl isolate multi-user.target` and then `systemctl isolate graphical.target` (although beware that the former can and probably will kill your session.) I guess this is reasonably analogous to doing "telinit 3" and then "telinit 5". In fact, "telinit 3" and then "telinit 5" should work basically as expected under systemd -- they will isolate multi-user.target and graphical.target, respectively. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm at fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project L...

Through many years and through CentOS-6.5, I would boot to runlevel 3, do various admin stuff on my desktop and then telinit 5, which started an X session on tty7. I would then do logout->switch user a few times to get additional user IDs active. Many years ago I would accomplish this with some kind of "startx ... :1', or ':2' etc. thingy, but I've forgotten the details now. For some reason 6.6 u...

hello, I am using 2.6.21, lguest-2.6.21-307.patch.gz and an image from http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/Fedora7/Fedora7-x86-root_fs.bz2 the console hangs, is this expected or caused by the image? I can still ssh to it or if I boot in single user mode the console is available but running init3 and it's hung. also is it possible to get the last gz patch released for 2.6.21?

This machine is running CentOS 5.3, fully updated Linux mavis.localdomain 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:19:18 EDT 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux. Video is an ATI Radeon 9000. X froze overnight and attempts to restart it fail. I tried an old kernel (2.6.18-92.1.22.el5) before realizing that root can start X and a virgin user can start X. I still can't use my original user name.

...Duo, 8 Gb RAM. Using the latest Nvidia x86_64 driver package (177.82) I could not get the 1280x1060 resolution (I could get nothing but 640x480). Additionally, while attempting various fixes, the monitor base color turned blue. Cure: 0. I set run level 3 in /etc/inittab and then executed 'telinit 3' to work from a text display. 1. I set the Rosewill in VGA (analog) mode--that is the only mode that will work with the Nvidia driver (discovered by trial and error). 2. I deleted the existing xorg.conf file (at /etc/X11). 3. I used nvidia-xconfig to write a new xorg.conf file. 4. I i...

Using linux on both server and client. I can run smbmount and all seems ok. But, when I try to use kfm to browse a share, I get the following messages thousands of times in /var/log/messages and things more or less hang up.

For those of you who are going to do the update from the centos5 beta to centos 5 proper despite the warnings, this is a(n incomplete) list of instructions for how to accomplish this 1. Get yourself into runlevel 3 (telinit 3 from terminal) as the dbus update will die if you're in X. 2. Setenforce 0 # turn off selinux as there have been some unconfirmed reports that it will interfere with the updates. 3. yum update 4. rpm -qa release="*fc6*" # this will let you find and identify the packages which had th...

...the system (such as bind), you need to make sure that you stop the daemon before installing the package. Otherwise the file may not be updated properly because it is in use. You can either stop the daemon manually or go into single user mode and then go back to multiuser mode. Example: # telinit 1 Go into single user mode # upgradepkg bind Perform the upgrade # telinit 3 Go back to multiuser mode Remember to back up configuration files before performing upgrades. - The Slackware Linux Project http://www.slackware.com
