similar to: Error installing latest CentOS kernel from %post section of kickstart

I did a "yum update" on my CentOS 6 systems yesterday for the first time in about a month and now have some automated processes failing because the PATH is not set up correctly when using "su". The problem is very easy to see by comparing the output of the following two commands: # su - <user> -c "env | grep PATH" # su <user> -c "env | grep

Currently, I kickstart my machines over http to install CentOS 4.4 and then in a script called from %post do a "yum -y update" to install all the latest updates. Is there a way to set up the kickstart server so that I can do this all in one step? In other words, is there a "supported" way to roll in all the updates into the kickstart server? In case it matters, I

The thread "Problems with kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64? reminded me that I have a similar problem but on the latest CentOS 6 kernel I?ve been meaning to report. Here is the relevant system information: Linux ssg003.bose.com 2.6.32-696.13.2.el6.i686 #1 SMP Thu Oct 5 20:42:25 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5912 (rev 04)

I took my anaconda-ks.cfg file, cp to ks.cfg and copied to a floppy The isos have been copied to an ftp server. So I had the following lines in my ks.cfg intall url ftp://10.1.1.1// (yes the ftp server's directory is the Centos directory) This is along with all the appropriate network command to get the ethernet setup. I issue the linux ks=floppy (also tried linux

I'd like to automate the upgrade from CentOS 4.6 to 5.1 as much as possible. Since upgrades per se are not really recommended, I'm planning to do a kickstart installation. However, I want to leave one of the existing partitions (/scratch) untouched during the installation. Here is my current layout (LogVol00 is swap so not shown in the df output below): # df -hl

I know this mostly depends on what is/will be done upstream, but with the recent announcement that Firefox 1.5.X will only receive updates until April 24, 2007, is Firefox 2.X in CentOS' future? Alfred

I have a stock CentOS 5 system as far as email (sendmail) is concerned that is on our corporate LAN. I am not trying to set up a mail server; I merely want our CentOS systems to be able to send out emails. This works as long as the recipient's domain is our local domain. Any email send to recipients that are not in our local domain get stuck in the queue: # mailq

I finally was able to create a VM in which to load and "play" with CentOS 6, and the first time I went to update the kernel I ran into this: Downloading Packages: kernel-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64.rpm | 22 MB 01:11 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : kernel-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64

I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install. However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP

I am just applying the latest C6 updates to a couple of KVM Linodes. It appears that the latest update of util-linux-ng has added a new dependency on the kernel package. On these VMs, the kernel package is not normally installed, and the VM runs a host-supplied kernel. But now, a "yum update" wants to install for dependencies kernel, kernel-firmware and grubby, none of which should be

Does anyone have remote desktop connectivity working in CentOS 5.3? I'm using the Gnome desktop and have configured the Remote Deskop Preferences to "Allow other users to view your desktop" and "Allow other users to control your desktop". The configuration dialog box says that "Users can view your desktop using this command: vncviewer

I have a CentOS 5.3 VM running under VMware on a WIndows XP laptop. Everything works fine when connected to the network. However, removed from the network, most everything in the CentOS VM takes minutes to complete. For instance, starting a new Terminal window takes over 3 minutes. I did an strace, and there are a couple of long waits when trying to open a socket

I recently built a CentOS from the 4.3 ISOs. Now I'm ready to build another 10 systems using kickstart. I took the anaconda-ks.cfg file from the first system I built manually, modified it slightly (see below), and made it available via http. I booted the new system from the first CentOS 4.3 CD and typed the following: boot: linux ks=http://hostname/test-ks.cfg Here are the

However, I would prefer to use more ?native? Docker commands, as I would rather not have all developers install and configure Singularity when they already have Docker installed on their systems. There has got to be

I've been using kickstart successfully with a local mirror going back to CentOS 4.X. I'm trying to install CentOS 5.3 via kickstart on a new system (which happens to be different than most other systems I've installed on), and the install process always hangs shortly after the partitions are created. If I go to the alternate console #3, the last two lines are always this

A friend has an old Pentium-133 laptop with 32MB of memory and a 1.3 GB hard disk that he wants to use as a web server for a very small community. Will CentOS (or any other RHEL derived distribution for that matter) install and run with acceptable performance on such a system, or will a specialized distribution like Damn Small Linux be a better choice? In this case, disk space is not a big
