I've recently documented simple use of a VServer with CentOS host and guest. toracat@ said that it might be worthwhile putting on the wiki. The present article is located at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/vserver.html If it does get to the wiki, I would remove the fedora section and also add a notice at the beginning of the article with dire warnings about using a non-st...

On the CentOS mailing list and Forums, I occasionally see questions relating to accessing Windows shares. Thought I could share my notes on this subject which I put together on a web page: http://toracat.freeshell.org/centos/HowToAccessWin.html It is a short practical guide. I would appreciate receiving comments and suggestions. Akemi

Hi, I propose to create an entry in Tips and Tricks - 5. Admin tricks and shell one-liners describing how to disable the user list in the GDM graphical login. I would draw on the info posted in this blog entry http://blog.toracat.org/2011/01/gnome-login-shows-all-valid-user-accounts-disable-it/ CentOS wiki user: BrianSmith Dr. Brian O.

...t here. Sure, his blog site may collect a wider audience, but we traditionally deals with all CentOS wiki articles on this mailing list. Here it is. I am starting this thread for those who would like to offer suggestions, amendment, and even accolades. :-P Are you listening, Evolution? Akemi / toracat

We have CentOS Forums here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/ Akemi Yagi (toracat on IRC) and Fabian Arrotin (arrfab on IRC) are the Forum Moderators. There are a lot of posts there that I find helpful when doing web searches ... but we could use more people answering questions there. Also, we specifically need some people to answer questions concerning Oracle database depl...

...a Windows 10 host. It should come as no surprise that I would hit this bug when installing CentOS, and also with RHEL 7 Server with GUI (since you get the same kernel). Based on information from your bug list, I was fortunately able to workaround the trouble with: wget https://people.centos.org/toracat/kernel/7/plus/bug15570new/kernel-3.10.0-957.1.3.bug15570.plus.el7.x86_64.rpm wget https://people.centos.org/toracat/kernel/7/plus/bug15570new/kernel-devel-3.10.0-957.1.3.bug15570.plus.el7.x86_64.rpm yum -y localinstall kernel-3.10.0-957.1.3.bug15570.plus.el7.x86_64.rpm yum -y localinstall kernel-d...

...nately this is not going to happen. It looks like the patches will be in the RHEL 5.4 kernel. Using the patches provided in the bugzilla, I have rebuilt the latest test kernel (-125) that is available from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus. You can download the patched kernel from: http://centos.toracat.org/kernel/centos5/vmware463573/ I have test-installed it on a couple of CentOS-5 x86_64 guests. Still too early to say anything about the clock issue, but so far so good. If you get a chance to give it a try, please share what you find. Thanks, Akemi (nick: toracat)

Hello, I'm trying to install CentOS 5.2 on an HP 6730s notebook. All's going well except for one little item -- the networking. Never thought I'd have trouble with an Ethernet adapter, so I didn't even check before buying this machine; it was cheap. The adapter is a Marvell Yukon 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet controller. I can't find a Linux driver for it except one that

So, just today I noticed a problem with kernel 2.6.18-194 (CentOS 5.5) on several Intel DP965LT systems; the system beeps (such as terminal beeps) are no longer passed through to the external speakers. This is a problem because in our situation the boxes are distant from their monitor/keyboard, the system speaker on this motherboard is extremely weak, and there are no system speaker header pins

Hi gang - Love CentOS - you guys to a fabulous job. It has been a while since I saw any update... I went to twitter.com/centos nothing there, twitter.com/centos6 nothing there, went to the qa calendar stuff nothing there. Last I saw was something in September saying all RPM's are built and doing ISO's. Then nothing. I know the whole story about its ready when its ready and I'm all

Hello to the AdminGroup, >From what I have been told (by a very reliable source (AY)), I should direct this for the attention of Ralph. In the nicest possible way, Community members Akemi and Ned (aka toracat and NedSlider) have been twisting my arm to get me to agree to join the Wiki editors. Being susceptible to the right sort of persuasion, I eventually agreed. Over the last few weeks I have been assisting in the updating of two out of the three Kernel HowTos and Akemi now feels I should finish this...

Greetings list- I''ve got a server ''in the mail'' and I see now on the specsheet that it has Marvell Yukon 8056 NICs onboard. Since I cannot seem to find a HCL for Centos 5 or RHEL5 to help verify, I''d like to know if it works ''out of the box'' on CentOS 5.x or is there additional work to make it function (properly)? My searching has revealed

...e nx-3.5.0-1.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm and freenx-0.7.3-8.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm. When I try to logon the desktop pops up but I get the little busy circle and it never completes, I am unable to close the session or do anything to the freenx window. Here is the odd, part, if I install the earlier versions from toracat, freenx-0.7.3-7.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm and nx-3.4.0-7.el6.ay.x86_64.rpm the session comes up and works fine,I can exclude the updates but wondering if anyone has any idea of what I might try to get it to work with the latest, thanks in advance.

Hi, I recently found a need for me to setup a Samba share for some quick and dirty file copying. I already knew how to do this, but was wondering if it would be worth while to add it to the tips & tricks or howto section.?
