We just moved a user, who deals with a *lot* of data, to a new server, since his old NFS home directory was on a disk that had started showing problems. Now, i/o is about six times slower, my manager reports. After a fair bit of googling, I started looking at tc and ip, and found the following: from ip address show, first, on the old home directory server, eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu

I'm trying to update a workstation, and it wants to update mpeg2-utils. But that has a dependency of libmpeg2-0.5.1-3, for i386. epel doesn't have it, and I tried looking on rpmfusion.org, and I can only find a very few packages there. Anyone have an idea which of the regular repositories carries libmpeg2? mark

Ok, where/how do I submit this to the CentOS project? Here's a complete script - anyone, *please* feel free to test it, and let me know if I've missed anything. Thanks in advance. mark #!/bin/bash # ################################### # Author: mark roth # Date: 30 Apr. 2010 # Purpose: to create a working, bootable CentOS install on a USB key

Well, we wanted to put an install on a USB key. Neither I nor the other admin was amused by the singing and dancing that the wiki offers - and just *why* is it that syslinux is broken? At any rate, I did some googling, and found <http://www.pendrivelinux.com/>, and I ran this installer. Ok, it has some bugs: a) I had several .isos, and it *insisted* on grabbing the first one,

Has anyone recently started seeing LibClamAV Warning: Cannot prepare for JIT, because it has already been converted to interpreter ? I can't find anything googling for that. mark

I just went to install fail2ban, and it kept failing, complaining about the EPEL GPG key. It was installed... and yum worked, once I did ln -s /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL Small problem there.... mark

I just upgraded a blade server via rsync from another server. Rebuilt the initrd. It boots fine... except that it won't turn on the swap partition. Several times, I've made sure swap was off, then mkswap -L SWAP-sda3 /dev/sda3, but when I do swapon -L SWAP-sda3, it complains it can't find the device for the label. The only thing I find while googling, other than redoing what I've

So, I got my wife a Nook for her b'day. I just plugged it into my system, CentOS 6.5, and what I see is /media/NOOK, and it shows 257k or so - yes, k, not m or g. It's *not* seeing any directories, etc, and the small thing I'm guessing is firmware, since even when I try mount -o remount -rw, it is still r/o. Googling, I see mentions of fsmtp, I think it was, and yum shows some mtp

Hi, folks, We would like to run a container on a server, the reason being the COST of a Sybase license (it's by core), and what we can afford is a 4-core license. Now, the server's a nice Dell w/ 32 cores, so, ideally, what we want to do is set up containers, then, in one container, *only* have it see 4 cores, while the rest of the server, including (possibly) other containers, can see

Anybody familiar with it, or what it's needed for? I've got at least one user (it's *very* noticeable with her) whose system is spamming /var/log/messages, to the effect of "Another agent is running...\nFailed to allocate the agent. Exitting" (complete with misspelled exiting). In googling, I've seen someone just removing the package. What, if anything, would that break?

I tried to boot from my 6.0 USB key, no joy. Updated it to 6.2. Still no joy: it gets started, I do the disk layout, it formats the drives, and then fails, saying that it can't find "image# 1". Over in the log, I see a lot of it not finding any drive at all, yet all the h/d drives and sda2, which is what the USB key is, and where the linux partition is, are mounted. Guys, any idea

I've got a server with multiple virtual interfaces. Now, I only want CUPS to advertise on *one* - eth0, not eth0:1 or eth0:gad.... Looking at the CUPS manual, and cuppsd.conf man page, I see BrowseAllow, but the entries are not clear enough for me to understand what they mean. (Yeah, I know the docs are better than they were - read ESR's rant about it from a few years ago.) Specifically,

Trying to update a user's system, and yum gives up, because it wants to update libmpeg2, and there's a dependency - the currently installed version is required by libmpeg2-utils, and there seems to be no update to that. Anyone have an idea why this is the case? I really don't want to add another repo just for this workstation, when libmpeg2 does have an update in its current repos.

On my new Dell system, it's got a cardreader. More to the point, it's got an idiot menu key... *right* next to the right control key, and just where the annoying keyboard design has it cut down from the oversize space bar ASCII art <ctrl><WinDoze> <tall[ ]<tall<tall<tall <ctrl> Alt>[ tall spacebar ] alt> Win>

I'm trying to install a number of perl modules, and yum gives up with perl-Sys-Filesystem, because it has a dependency of perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) I've tried seeing what provides it, and yum says nothing. I also see, googling, that there was a problem thread on this list in '08 with the same dependency. Anyone have a clue, or workaround? mark

I've retried again, and it still fails. I see that it's mounted /dev/sda2, which is where I've got the contents of a DVD, as /mnt/isolinux. The contents of that are: ls -a . GPL TRANS.TBL .. Packages images .discinfo RELEASE-NOTES-en-US.html isolinux .treeinfo RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

Ok, I give up. After the last month or so, gwenview takes literally five minutes or so to come up, gagging because I have nepomuk turned off in kde. Today, it just will not come up at all, even trying gwenview pic.jpg. Are there any other ->light weight<- image viewers in the standard repositories, including epel? I DO NOT WANT OR NEED a "semantic desktop" (aka bloat, suitable for

Dunno 'bout 5; I'd been waiting, since I thought I remembered folks here complaining about it breaking language support for 6, and I *know* that some folks

I've been out of pocket for a while, so don't shoot me, if this has already been brought up. I'm having a problem with my desktop freezing up, and I'm running Cent OS 6. It seems to happen while I'm running firefox. I'm not sure if it's firefox, or the OS that's locking up. When it freezes up, nothing will respond, so I'm inclined to think it's the OS
