I am trying to install a CentOS 6.4 x86_64 VM using a CentOS 5.9 x86_64 host, but its install has froze *twice*. What I am doing is to create a 10gig LVM volume, which I put a MS-DOS partition table on (using fdisk). I then format the only partition to ext3, install grub and install the pxeboot kernel and initrd.img and a simple grub.conf to load this. I have the CentOS 6.4 x86_64 ISOs mounted

Is it even remotely possible to run MacOSX (or Darwin) as VM under CentOS 5.10 / xen? Or am I better off not even trying and just getting a MacMini or MacBook to just jack into my LAN? I just need a 'build box' and possibly something to do light testing (eg does the program run? Does the GUI come up?). I don't really have the *physical* room for an iMac, unless the screen is tiny.

One of my VPS stopped working. After the data centre replaced a disk normal service resumed, then I notices this: CentOS release 5.5 (Final) Kernel 2.6.35.4 on an x86_64 I always thought Centos 5.x would always be on 2.6.18. Any thoughts?

I am new to CentOS. How do I set a rule to so that any email coming from @ linkedin.com (and other abused locations), going to an application RT (setup on the system), will get rejected or dropped silently. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am not sure what I did, but for some reason Ctrl-Alt-F? bindings are broken on 64-bit xen desktop machine (but not on my laptop (32-bit, no xen)). Both machines are (mostly) up-to-date and running CentOS 5.9. I rarely hop to different Virtual Consoles (eg Ctrl-Alt-F1 ... Ctrl-Alt-F7), but today I wanted to go to the main console to watch some kernel verbage (I was checking something with

Hi all, Probably a simple question, but, I'd like to merge both install DVDs into one directory on my PXE server. Obviously I will need to copy all of the files, but do I need to cast a magical incantation to recreate .discinfo, .treeinfo, etc?

Hi folks I have the command "find . | xargs grep 'mailx'", to search all files with "mailx" in contents. I wish to add a second condition that NOT contains string sven.aluoor at ubs.com on the same line. Every file which contains "mailx", but not the string sven.aluoor at ubs.com in the same line. cheers Sven

Hi folks I have my Linksys WUSB54GC USB wifi card already working. Now I have another issue. Accidentally I tuned off my AP, and when switched it on again my wireless link is still down. I have to unplug the USB card and plug it again to get it working again. I'm new in wireless matter but this doesn't sounds logical to me. What if I loose the link for whatever reason? Should I have to

hey listers! silly quesion: if I generate an RSA key on an NFS shared home directory, then cat >> it into the .ssh/authorized_keys file in the same location, shouldn't I then be able to ssh into each host that shares the NFS home directory without entering a passphrase (assuming the key doesn't have one)? and assuming the permissions on the authorized_keys file belong to the user

I'm maintaining an internet-facing web server which is now running httpd 2.0.63 (httpd-2.0.63-2.el4s1.centos.2) which is now neary 2.5 years old(!?!). I need to move to either 2.0.64 or 2.2.12 or later. However, I've been unable to find available RPMs for such releases for CentOS 4.x. I have to believe that others have these needs also. In light of this, how do others keep up with

Hi, every lvm command gives one line with: /dev/cdrom: open failed: No medium found I looked at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431901 and changed filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|", "a/.*/" ] then deleted cache /etc/lvm/cache/.cache This seems to help, but after a while the message reappears. Is there a way to get rid of it, because

Hi all I would like to ask linux can do the networking printer as window Share it to office environment If yes, any brand name and concern Any documentation also Thank you so much

Good day, What will happen if on x86_64 some i386 rpms get installed, please. Thanks Johan

Hi List, just doing my weekly yum update and noticed that the kernel is designated .i686 but the headers package is .i386?? surely the headers should match the kernel geometry that it was compiled for? confused.

Hello list! I was just curious about the output of a command I typed. [root at LCENT02:~] #last reboot | head -1 reboot system boot 2.6.18-194.26.1. Wed Dec 29 20:03 (24+01:33) This is odd because this machine was rebuilt today (Saturday 1/22) in mid afternoon. Just curious how the output of this command could NOT know this? Also I notice that on select machines the command init 6

Hello Thinking of setup a backup process between two Centos systems. One will backup to the other one.

Darn! I must have either made a typo or my use of a ";" in the MySQL root password so now I am locked out. Is there a work around or do I have to uninstall MySQL and reinstall? Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

Did the Announce go out for CentOS 5.6, or are people just jumping the gun? If it went out, I missed it, and need to look at my spam filters. If it hasn't gone out yet, then maybe I'm OK... See... No "is it ready" crap in here!

Hi all, Somehow I mistakenly install a bunch of 32bit packages in my 64bit Centos 5.6 How do I remove those 32bit packages? Thank you.

Does anyone know, or have a link, to something that can tell me how to find out exactly what options a ./configure was run with? Is there something in configure.ac, or the Makefile, or ...? mark
