My machine has a static IP, with dhcp and IPv6 disabled. Every time I reboot, some process rewrites /etc/resolv.conf, including a comment about dhcpclient. The only package I have installed that shows up in "rpm -qa|grep -i dhcp" is dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5, and nothing in there is named dhcpclient. I'd like to figure out what software is rewriting this file and why. man 5

I have a box running CentOS 5.x 32 bit. I noticed these kernels are installed.

Here is a list of files that I have not (knowingly) modified that do not pass rpm verification immediately after I installed centos 5.3. I am not really sure what this means - are the packagers sending out sloppy rpms, or is something going around modifying stuff? Other than the texmf stuff, the list seems to consist entirely of config files. Does yum or rpm or something do some instant

Hello, I'm using CentOS 5.5 / 16bit as a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation and have installed the "VMWare Tools" by running vmware-install.pl and vmware-config-tools.pl but can't figure out how to make the VM shutdown, when I shutdown the Windows PC hosting it. Does anybody please have any hints or scripts? Do I need to use any VMWare modules if I just want to shutdown the

Sorry, I think I am missing something. What is the rpm/package called? So is it i386 installed on x8664, or what? Google's website still claims it

Aloha All, I have downloaded many gems in .gem and .tar format from Rubyforge to my dir /usr/local/src/gems/. However, I got the following error below when executing "gem install mongrel-1.1.5.gem" or any other gems from the dir above. "ERROR: could not find gem mongrel-1.1.5.gem locally or in a repository" I''ve notice that within the .gem folder there are two

Graphic installer doesn't like my graphics card, so I am using the text installer. I have two physical disks in my system. When I get to the "partitioning type" page, I choose "remove all partitions on selected drives [etc]" and put an asterisk next to sda, no asterisk next to sdb. I want to use sdb as a separate partition, no LVM, I figure I can set it up after

Hi. I just noticed I had a CentOS 5.3 system that I updated to CentOS 5.5 a few days ago, and I just ran "yum -y update" again to get the latest kernel, and I just noticed it still has the old 2.6.18-128 kernel instead of the new 2.6.18-194.17. What gives? /etc/grub.conf points at 2.6.18-194.17, but when I reboot, 2.6.18-128 comes up. Any suggestions? Thanks, -at myserver# yum -y

I've been going along not noticing things happening right under my nose. so imagine my surprise when I discovered last night that my Centos 5 box has installed multiple new kernels over the last few months, as updates come out, and IT IS NOT BOOTING THE NEWST ONE. grub.conf says to boot kernel 0, and 0 is the newest one. but the one it actually boots is 6 or 8 down the list (clearly I've

Aloha, I just made some quick hacks on the configure script with the 'ncdf' package to make it link with the opendap/dods libraries (opendap.org) rather than the netcdf api library. Basically, this allows a user to interact in R with a remotely served dataset as if it were a netcdf file on the local filesystem (read-only). Functionality with local files should continue to work as

I want to add up the quotas I've assigned on a particular partition and see if the total is bigger than the disk. It's possible to do this (awkwardly) using repquota or quota. Is there no more accurate/elegant way? I can't be the first person to worry that more quota has been issued than the disk can supply. mahalo and Happy New Year, Dave -- Q: Why should this email be 5 sentences or

Hello, I have a GridEngine setup with 5 subnodes and two RAIDS attached. I backed up the OS drive - 120GB - to an external hard drive - 500GB - using ddrescue. The OS drive is partitioned as: sda1 has the OS and is about 7 GB sda2 has /var and is about 4 GB sda3 has swap and is about 1 GB After backing up, there were 4KB of errors, but all at the end of the disk around 118GB. This used to be

I just installed centos on a Dell that used to have 2 internal disks, but I removed one just before the install. Now when I boot it, it stops and outputs a message complaining about the missing disk and I have to hit F1 to get it to continue booting. Is there some bios setting that is causing this? Obviously, I'd like it to just forget about the missing disk and go ahead and boot with just

Should I report this as a bug somewhere? Or is it just a problem with the old fedora box, probably fixed long ago and not relevant to the centos list? On the server side, theme4, a very old fedora box, exports t4d5 via NFS. t4d5 is big, has lots of space, and the user tobiasf has plenty of quota: [root at theme4 ~]# quota -vls tobiasf|grep sdf /dev/sdf1 1312G 4578G 4769G

I've been thinking about ways to proceed if I need to set up 5 machines with basically identical software but somewhat variable hardware. A simple approach would be to just set up my golden system and clone the disk, but the hardware differences would probably cause problems. One approach that appeals to me is to install minimal centos on the first system, add a few rpms after installation,
