Hi, Trying to get vga console and a serial console to both work. I can get either one to fully work but not both. When using serial, I do still get a login prompt on the vga, But not all the boot up output. Seems like half to the vga and the rest to the serial port I added lines to /etc/inittab # console port T0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0 115200 And added to /etc/lilo.conf

One of these days, RedHat might actually run me off!!!! AAAARGH!!!! Can anyone tell me how to get CentOS 4 to simply boot to the console in text mode? If I wanted a stinkin' GUI I would have installed winders! Now, my KVM and 25 foot cord is just too long to send a GUI signal across the room and I'm missing 50% of the screen.. striped vertically.. at about 1/8th inch spacing. Not

Hi fellows, Pretty new to CentOS. I was trying to find a way to boot CentOS into command prompt instead of GUI (or without loading any services). Tried using 'Crl+Alt+F1' at the boot process, but, that holds the screen at mounting and doing fstab and doesn't proceed further. Is there anyother way to boot CentOS into command prompt without using Rescue option from the installation CD?

I decided to upgrade from openSuse 10.2 to openSuse 10.3. I installed xen things, but when I boot using xen option the system is blocked. It appears the green window, with little suse logo in the middle, and mouse cursor, but the system crashes. My computer is a Pentium 4 1,5 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. I attached "diff boot.msg boot.omsg" (as diff opensuse-normal-kernel opensuse-xen-kernel)

Amazon (or perhaps Amazon's configuration of Xen) forces a machine to come up at run level 4, regardless of what's in /etc/inittab. I've looked through /etc/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.d/rc, to determine which (if any script) looks at /proc/cmdline and forces a particular run level, but to no avail. It seems that /sbin/init does the forcing. Can anyone confirm that /sbin/init reads

I have a server with all the x-windows stuff installed. But it's giving me a text based login prompt on the console. I can log onto the console, and run gnome-session and GNOME comes up fine. How do I turn it on so that I get a X-Window GUI login prompt? === Al

When I installed CentOS it was with an old monitor, and it turned out that I could not get system-config-display to set it up correctly. I bought a new monitor and now all is well, except... It still boots to a text login, and I have to startx. What do I need to edit to change this? Thanks Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name:

Hi All, How does one best turn of X-Windows? I dont need it, ssh works just fine for me. I seem to recall it was complicated and since I know enough to do my stuf and not well versed yet in fixing things I break, I dont want to blow this up. Best, -ML

I've got a CentOS 6 machine that's slated to go into production providing some web and development-repository services. Part of the environment is gitweb, which works as expected with one glitch: SELinux doesn't allow gitweb.cgi to query sssd to display who owns the repositories. The audit log entries are pretty straightforward, e.g., type=AVC msg=audit(XXXXXXXXXXXX): avc:

Hi *, as this is my first post I want to say hello to everybody. Well, and unfortunatly I''ve already got a question for you: I''ve installed a guest domain (OS: CentOS 4) on my xen-machine and it''s para-virtualised (just to provide the information ;) ). After the installation and mount the image containing the guest to copy the necessary modules for the xen-kernel,

Hi community, In CentOS 7 there is such rpm (libcxx-devel - it seems from EPEL repository), but in CentOS 8 it isn't. How is it possible to have it there as RPM? because alternative to build it (libc++) from sources is a big headache (I need it in order to build v9 and plv8 projects) Thanks

I have done what you said and I restarted centos7. It still goes into graph mode automatically. So what is the step I can do to go into text mode automatically? 2015-03-19 12:03 GMT-07:00 Digimer <lists at alteeve.ca>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Try: > > plymouth-set-default-theme --list > > You should see 'text' and

Hello all! I'm brand new to the mailing list, and I've encountered an issue with the microcode_ctl package version 2.1-16 being installed during the CentOS 7.3 upgrade. It causes my servers to hard stop and they need to be forcibly powered off and back on again with the power button to continue. This RedHat thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398698 details the issue,

Hello all, I've been googling my brains out since yesterday looking for up-to-date information on this matter, and have found information that is anywhere from 15 to 5 years old. I'd really like some information that much more up to date on the subject. Specifically configuring Sendmail SMTP authentication (_no smart host stuff_). I've got Sendmail 8.14 installed on a CentOS 7.3

I did installation of CentOS5.5 in text mode and made changes at the following places in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf : section "device" identifier : "vesa" driver:"vesa" section "screen" device:"vesa" Also in the file /etc/inittab I changed id:3:initdefault to id:5:initdefault so that I can boot linux in graphical mode. I had to make the changes
