I've managed to get Skype set up and working. I can hear the other person talking, but she can't hear me. During a conversation, I tried what I thought to be all possible settings in both the "Volume Control" application and in Skype itself. But no joy. To make matters more puzzling, I had skype working on this same machine last year using CentOS 5.6... or maybe it was

Since switching from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.x I find that one of the VMs will not restart upon system reboot. I finally figured out that the video is always set to vmvga after rebooting. In addition the VM's storage always reverts back to IDE from virtio and is set to use the wrong image. It may be related to the fact that I moved the XML files that defined the VMs from the

Hey folks, I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. I am currently running 5.3 and "yum info db4" tells me that they have version 4.3.29. Is that telling me that this is the version in 5.3? Or that this is the latest version in the 5.x stream? If the former, then how do I find out what release of the db4 software (sleepcat berkeley db) is in 5.7? I don't want to

Just rebooted my box (switched keyboards, and since it's a PS/2 keyboard, it needs to be done at poweroff) and when it came back up, (almost) all the desktop icons I've created (as distinct from the ones that came with the system) now don't display correctly. Instead of the graphic assigned to each, it's just a picture of a blank sheet of paper with the corner folded over, and the

Hi all, Recently one my Centos 5.7 VM just crashes at least once a day randomly (hang). In /var/log/messages there is nothing at all that there is problem (no error, no failure). The log just stops. The only change I did before this crashes is I activated LDAP authentication, and also auditd. But I don't see any evidence relating to it. Any clue where to look for the cause? Thank you.

Hi. Red Hat is saying that AMD Liano A8 CPU's are not supported by RHEL/CentOS 6: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/65431 Is that true? What can I expect if I try to install CentOS 6.3 on PC with that CPU? -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

Hi. I have updated system/server that worked for a long time. It was upgrade from 6.4 to latest. After restart, system freezes after most/all of the daemons are booted. From interactive mode I found out that services starting are: ... ... atd jexec atieventsd libvirtd certmonger libvirt-guests local nxsensor nxserver webmin As soon as I allow webmin to pass, system freezes. BUT, if I stop

As I understand anaconda uses parted to partition (starting from centos 6), using this as example (kickstart configuration file): clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=200 --fstype=ext2 --ondisk=sda part swap --asprimary --size=16384 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda part / --asprimary --size=512000 --fstype=ext4 --ondisk=sda part /scratch --asprimary --size=1 --grow

Hi all! I'm still googling for this, but after quite a while I'm no closer, so I figured I'd ask you guys: I've got my router using syslog on my centos box to log the router's system events. Works fine. however, it mixes 'em into /var/log/messages along with the messages from the Centos box itself. is there a way to separate them into itsown (set of??) files? So far

Allo esteemed Centos-ers, Noticed something funny with an mdadm mirror based raid the other day. So I had a system disk set to mirror via mdadm. One of the disks went south at a remote office and since there was no one available to swap out the disk, I thought to leave it for later. Well, due to work being what is it, this later became a year. During one of the servers many reboots, much of

Earlier last year I had a 5.7 system running with skype. It worked fine. Later last year I had to reinstall my entire system. I didn't install skype then. Yesterday I tried to find a version of skype to use on 5.7, but couldn't find one on skype.com; there's no version for RH/CentOS 5.7. Does anyone know where a working skype can be found? Thanks.

Hi all! One of these days I'm going to upgrade my centos 5.7 box (which is currently configured with raid-1 on two drives) to 6.x. i've been given to believe that I should be able to do a fresh install on top of the existing raid setup, i.e., without having to re-create the raid array, but just use the existing setup. and somewhere in the last few days (in this list I think) someone

Hi. On my new job we use VMware ESXi (Free version), but my colleagues use Windows on their PC's. I am allowed to use CentOS Linux, but I have no prior experience with WMVare. I now (today) have to install CentOS 6.x minimal on that ESXi server, so I am trying to wrap my head around whole ecosystem. What should I install on my CentOS 6.x so I can access/manage ESXi server and manage

Hi. For a long time I am puzzled why, when internet connection is gone (beyond first router, outside of subnet) SSH (and telnet?) connection is drastically slowed. Same behavior, but less impacted is observed when system boots without working internet connection, and I am not sure, but I think even access to SAMBA fileshares can be/is affected. Affected systems are mostly production

Hi, In our company we have a DL380 ( 16gb ram) server with Windows server 2003 x86, this run only tomcat 6. We have 2 options: a) upgrade to windows 2008 x64 and b) migrate to Linux ( I mean centos 6 x64). I want to make some benchmarks. Please help me to compare a and b. How I can make this benchmark? -- Best Regards, Ashkan R

Hello, I know that there exists a package for Gnome SSHMenuApplet for CentOS 5 (e.g. see http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/epel/testing/5/ppc/gnome-applet-sshmenu-3.15-5.el5.noarch.html). The package sshmenu (which I found here: http://dl.marmotte.net/rpms/redhat/el6/x86_64/sshmenu-3.18-7.el6/sshmenu-3.18-7.el6.noarch.rpm) states: ======================================== Summary :

A while back I added the pidgin repo to my yum configuration and installed pidgin. it has automatically updated itself a time or two since without trouble. but now that Pidgin 2.1.0 is out, it won't update properly. Yum finds a couple of libpurple packages to update as well as pidgin-devel, but not the pidgin package itself: --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please

I searched for libid3-3.8.so.3 with yum: # yum search \*libid3-3.8\* but it returns "No Matches found" Am I not searching correctly, or does this not exist in CentOS 5.7? tnx

I'm sorry if it is off-topic, maybe not. I have CentOS 6, webmin/virtualmin panel and I just install Horde 3/imp 4. In my virtualmin panel I have many email configured, but when I acces Horde and I try to login with email/password or user/password, Horde tell me login or password not good. What I have to do to synchronize Horde and virtualmin mailbox? Thanks you Ernesto
