Can I use puppet to ensure that a file includes certain text but not be required to maintain the entire file? For example, I would like /etc/modprobe.conf to contain the following lines but the file will also contain lines that are system dependent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Disable IPV6 alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off

I have an IDE based PC running Linux/CentOS4 to which I wish to attach a scsi dlt. The host controller is an Adaptec AHA3940 something that lspci reports as: SCSI storage controller: Initio Corporation 360P (rev 02). I would like to have the system load the driver for this adapter at boot but I have two problems: 1. I am not sure which driver to use; and 2. I do not know how to force

I came into an Abit AX8 motherboard and single core AMD Athlon 64 FX. I did a quick install of CentOS 5.0 on it to make sure everything worked and then returned the hard disk and case to the original owner. After getting a new case and hard disk, I downloaded the CentOS 5.1 cd images and installed. For some reason the motherboard's on board sound no longer works (worked with CentOS

The 8168B (02) NIC works well except that it does not go into promiscuous mode despite advertising itself in that mode after being so directed with ifconfig. Unfortunately, the little box is destined to be an IDS monitor, so that function is essential. The board is an Intel Atom 330 run as x86_64, the nic is internal. We tried three drivers: the one in the 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel yields

CentOS 4.8 Hi All: We recently had a Sony SDX-500V tape drive fail on one of our servers running CentOS 4.8. I have now replaced it with a spare SDX-500C. The problem that I am having now is that the failed drive had ceased responding to SCSI commands and we have since rebooted the system which resulted in the tape drive being removed from our current hardware configuration and the system does

I've go a Compaq Presario (SR5110NX) that I've loaded CentOS 5 on and all is well except for the sound card. I understand that OSS supports the chipset but it's not being detected an loaded properly and I've invested a significant amount of time already. I've probably got an old supported card lying around here somewhere but I hat to give up on the principal. I would rather

After installing CentOS 5.2 on my Dell inspiron 1525 laptop, the sound was inactive, I then installed Alsa-Driver, Alsa-utils, Alsa-plugins and Alsa-libs the ATrpms site. The speakers then work fine, but when I plug in headphones, the sound begins to fade out and eventually becomes completely quiet. I have checked the Volume Manager and nothing is muted including the Headphones volume, when I

Dear List, After some googling around without any results, I'm quite puzzled. Since some past update I can't precise, kernel 2.6.164 works fine, however 2.6.194 has some sound problem in my somewhat old and beaten Toshiba laptop. -Audacious plays OK but other applications have problems. -For instance, mplayer acts quirky: when I pause a playing video, sound keeps stuttering endlessly. The

Hi, I have installed CentOS 4 beta and everything works apart from the sound. Searching online I have found that Fedora Core 3 requires upgrading ALSA to the very latest version for sound to work on this laptop, that probaly means that I need to upgrade ALSA. Is there anytwhere I can get updates RPMs/SRPMs or do I have to compile the updates? AFAIK alsa is now part of the kernel, will this cause

I usually don't setup any GUI on my Linux systems. Yesterday I installed with X and Gnome on a spare system for some testing and hit a problem. Right after login the system freezes. The system froze already earlier when I opted to test the sound card on the Welcome screen and when I login with the alternative login choice xterm and shut down it freezes when "saving mixer

Just came up with some interesting (read: frustrating) problems on RHEL3 and RHEL4 today at work, and I've confirmed one of the problems on my up-to-date CentOS4 system at home. I was forced into releasing some RHEL3 systems to replace our aging RH9 systems without time for adequate testing, and that leads to problems like these. On our legacy RH9 systems, mounting a USB key is no problem,

I see that by default Xen seems to emulate a Realtek 8139 in my hvm''s. I have a quad port Intel PCIe nic available and wondered if I remove the network line altogether from the config and pass the nic in will I have near native performance without pv drivers? Also, is it possible to pass in one of each of the 4 ports into 4 different hvms? I don''t exactly know how the NIC

I am experimenting with a scsi2 HP SureStore DAT24 attached as an external device to an Intel P4 system. I am attempting to create a raw disk image of a dds2 tape made on a non linux system. My immediate problem is that I am trying to terminate a dd process and having no luck. dd was invoked thus: dd if=/dev/nst1 of=/tmp/disk.dds2.img bs=512 & pid=$! a ps reveals this: ps PID TTY

how do you get helix to play wmv files

Greetings CentOS Fans. I'm working on an Inspiron 9400 Laptop. It supports booting from USB devices, so I'd like to install CentOS on a USB hard drive as an alternative to XP. I tried booting to the 4.3 (disk 1) CD, but it doesn't see the USB Drive when it gets to the stage of partitioning... any idea what's involved in getting the USB drive recognized so I can install

I have not installed the madwifi specific kernel stuff (kdml and hal-kdml) from atrpms. I have installed with wpa rpms. And my Atheros card is working with almost no work on my part (other than runing wpa_supplicant as a deamon). Nice!

Dear Sir or Madam: Dose anyone know the R function which corresponds to "fcdf", a "F cumulative distribution function" of Matlab? http://esra.univ-paris1.fr/matlab5/toolbox/stats/fcdf.html Please guide me how to get this function if it is available. ..... or code it ab initio if no function in R language Thanks for kind reply further.

I switched my file server's hard disks from a p-2 350 to a p-3 deley 1.1 ghz. I ran kudzu and it detected the new nic and unconfigured the old one. I may have messed up the static ip assignment because hte system is not able to do anything on the network. How do i check the ipaddress asignment and also ensure the proper linksys LNE-100TX driver is loaded? thanks. William -- Computer

Hi list!: A question about the refinement of the configuration: Always when I start a domain kudzu (hardware detection daemon) ask me for remove hardware. I answer yes, but in the next boot kudzu ask again. I''m guessing that kudzu is asking for remove the «real» drivers that are inside the domU because the domainU was created copying the dom0 system in the domU. How can I deal with
