On CentOS-based VM appliance I'm building, I would like to create a script that runs upon login that asks the user a series of questions that does (among other things) ask them to input their networking information (IP, mask, gate, DNS, etc). I'm hoping you guys might point me in the right direction. Here are some of the specific things I'm looking to accomplish with such a script.

Currently firstboot would only work on redhat-based images. Handle redhat-based, suse-based and debian guests, error out in case of an unknown distro. Update firstboot.sh: - make sure scripts exists and can be executed - add LSB header to avoid insserv warnings later on - run script only if called with "start" Update functions, pass only required options.

Currently we install a systemd service named firstboot.service and a SysV service named virt-sysprep-firstboot. On systems where systemd is the init system and runs with the SysV compatibility, the different names make systemd handle them as different services, and thus trying to run the firstboot script runner twice. Rename both the systemd service and the SysV one to guestfs-firstboot: the new

I am doing a yum install netconfig on the new 5.1 and nothing gets installed. Was it removed? replaced with something else? yum provides netconfig does not show a "bin" command just false matches. Is there a new command? Thanks, Jerry

Hello all, I've been struggling with an issue with my kickstart configuration for a while now. My kickstart files are stored within the initrd image. What I would like to do here, is when the kickstart first starts up, I want it to grab a DHCP address (it does at the moment) so it can grab all of the necessary installation data off the net. Then, at some point _IN_ the install process, I'd

I'm doing my first 6.0 install the same way as I've always done my server installs -- in text mode. But it looks like there's no option to do the following in the 6.0 text mode installer? * Set hostname * Set network settings * Choose packages I really hope I'm missing something because having to use a GUI to install a server is incredibly painful. Cheers

Today I did a yum upgrade to my kvm'ized Centos 7 test machine (perhaps a bad day to do such a thing) and received new kernel vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64, among many other things. When I rebooted, I was asked to confirm (or renew, or some such) my license. My LICENSE ??? I was booting in text mode and the actions required were a) unfamiliar, and b) hard to understand. As I recall, I

Who was the genius that decided that system-config-network-tui should NOT be part of the base CentOS 6.3 install ?? Not to mention it has insane deps like wifi firmware packages... not really if all you want to do is configure eth0 from the command line... FC

What is happening in centos 5 with network config files??? I have a machine with 2 network cards. ifcfg-eth1 keeps changing to DHCP. All my static setup is gone. Why is it doing this? How can I stop it? I run "netconfig -d eth1" and re-setup my static information. I reboot and now I am back to DHCP. I have a gigabyte motherboard, nvidia chipset. forcedeth driver. eth0 is e1000.

Looks like there are NO command line options on system-config-network. Like -d eth0 or -d eth1 I used those alot when 2 network cards are in a box. Can netconfig be brought back to life? Can I just install the one from 5.0 on new boxes?\ Jerry

After installing 4.92 I wanted to run netconfig. It was not availble. I did "yum install netconfig" and got the package. What should I have selected in the "custom packages" at install time to get netconfig? Thanks, Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I installed Centos 6.2/i386 on a machine last night with a 1920x1080 monitor. The installer ran in graphical mode and looked fine. After the install was finished I rebooted and ran through the "firstboot" stuff (set up user, etc) with no problem and, again, it looked good. After that, when I should have seen the gdm login screen, all I got was the blue background but not the box with

Dear Experts, Something went astray with one of my systems. Large number of updates were installed on it all at once at some point. Then after system was rebooted it does strange thing I haven't seen on other systems. The machine is set up to boot into graphic login ("runlevel 5" to say it using outdated language). But before giving login screen upon (re)boot it tries to walk you

"Note that traditional init scripts continue to function on a systemd system. An init script /etc/rc.d/init.d/foobar is implicitly mapped into a service unit foobar.service during system initialization." That's what it says in /etc/init.d/README. However, what it implies doesn't seem to work out. In the same directory as that README is a file called "network" which

I am trying using a kickstart file to install CentOS 6.2 into a new virtual machine (the MBR sector of the harddisk is all zero), however I found that the installer cannot go through the harddisk partition. It failed after I chose "Use All Space" at harddisk partition option. The error message is: http://anony.ws/i/bMcTJ.png "You have not defined a root partition (/), which is

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate from Fedora Core 4 to a more stable linux deployment of Centos 4.3. I'm using kickstart to do an automated installation of minimal packages and then doing configuration in the %post section. I do this by calling serveral custom system-config-local-* scripts that I have written along with system-config-network-tui (aka netconfig). The problem that I am

I am trying to install asterisk@home on a Dell 1650 server. The setup cd runs fine and completes with no errors but when I try to connect to the web site (http:myip/maint) to edit the configs nothing happens just a page not found error. I'm not sure if there is a problem with my dual on board nics but when I check ifconfig I see the dhcp address info that was assigned for eth0 and then
