Hello, While yum is configured to use a proxy, like this : [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 proxy=http://proxy.lasb:3128 it still make some attempts to connect

Hi, We have a few PC with CentOS 4 installed. By default, it runs to runlevel 5, which displays the GDM. I'm just wondering, how do I actually make the GDM to start GNOME automatically (after a successful login) for all normal user account without having to add 'exec gnome-session' in every user's ~/.xinitrc? The current scenario is, only successful 'root' logins starts

Hello, The support for Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless is native in the kernel since 2.6.37 (module brcm80211, renamed brcmsmac since 2.6.39). But is it backported to some kernel available for CentOS ? Thanks, -- Philippe Naudin

Hello, After updating to CentOS-5.7, I have a (small) problem : The context of /dev/megadev0 is now defined (in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts) as system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0. This cause smartmontools to fail : avc: denied { read write } for pid=2847 comm="smartd" name="megadev0" dev=tmpfs ino=8284

Hi, I want to do something *bad* : to mount an already mounted ext3 partition. Mounting "-o bind" is not an option, this partition is mounted by different virtual machines. NFS is the right way to go, so I want another one :-) I have no problem mounting this partition read-only, but it seems that actually it is not really read-only. From /var/log/messages : Aug 29 11:26:43 xen02

Has anybody been able to get this to work ? I have been trying multiple options until now but all give me the empty crappy desktop with black cross display... I have tried changing the server_args in the xinetd config, but that makes a connection and exits straigt away... On 1 box it works in runlevel 5, but that is obvious (IMHO)... My Config: /etc/services vnc800 5900/tcp

Hello, On CentOS-6.2, these two commands (on the same machine) give me different results : # restorecon -r /var/www/html/Centos/ # (as root) $ sudo restorecon -r /var/www/html/Centos/ # (as an unprivileged user) /var/www/html/Centos/ is a symlink to /mnt/packages/Centos/ In the first case, I get : # ls -Z /var/www/html/Centos/ drwxr-xr-x. naudin biom system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t

Try this: /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service Only in your case it would be gdm.service.

Hi, We re doing backups of all filesystems to a dedicated server using "rsync -x". Now, the latest CentOS versions (5.7/6.x) come with rsync-3.0.6 instead of rsync-2.x. That's nice but unfortunately it doesn't do the same as 2.x in certain situations. The problem is with the -x option, which does not delete content under a mount point anymore. It was my impression that this is

Hi, some time ago I removed some physical disks from a server and now I'm still getting dmesg messages like: sd 0:2:2:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040001 end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0 And all lvm tools still grumbel about that disks too: /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 1746969493504:

Hi all I have a '/etc/cron.daily/push-to-backup' script which the content is: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/rsync [... long options line ...] echo "finished pushing to the backup" Launched manually, it's OK. Waiting for cron to execute it, In the "/var/log/cron", I see the starting time and the finish time, and I see it take about 10 minutes to make the job.

How exactly to use the tag "Obsoletes:" in a spec file ? I need to offer texlive to users on Centos-5.6, so I packaged it (based on a Mandriva src.rpm), and that works. But I want rpm to *replace* tetex by texlive, instead of just adding texlive, when users do a : $ yum install texlive (we have a local repo here). So I added this line in texlive.spec : Obsoletes: tetex and of

When you click on the gear icon on the GDM login screen, it provides a list of the available desktop environments so you can pick between them. Since I exclusively use Mate on this computer, how can I remove the other options from that menu? Earlier today when I logged in the machine decided on its own that what I really wanted was Gnome Classic, so I had to log out to change it back to Mate,

The easy way to restart gdm is when you are on the login screen itself or the desktop simply press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This works for Upstart in CentOS 6.x but will not work for CentOS 7.x which uses Systemd. The service command does not work for gdm. However, logging out of the desktop will restart gdm. It works for the graphical login exactly like the gettys in a TTY environment. On

Since CentOS 6 uses Upstart as its init system, and GDM is run from

Hello, I have a strange (for me) problem with these two machines : - Client, a CentOS-5.7 workstation ; - Server, a CentOS-6.2 headless, up-to-date server. From Client, I want to use xauth on Server with the help of rsh (yes, I know, ssh and all this sort of things... another time.) When SELinux is in permissive mode on Server, all these commands perform as expected : rsh Server
