similar to: Using XEN VMs with non-US keyboards?

Supposedly CentOS 5.1 should fix the problems with foreign keyboards, but I cannot see any change. The description in http://misterd77.blogspot.com/2007/11/xen-graphical-console-and-foreign.html does not work for me. Nothing changes. Has had anyone better luck? If so, how?

It seems that Xen VMs are subject to file system corruption under certain conditions. I find that often when I reboot or shutdown a VM the filesystem is corrupted after that and the VM no longer usable. The xm create then fails with some Python errors and an eventual Runtime Error: unable to read filesystem No handlers could be found for logger "xend". Error: boot loader didn't

We are serving the mp3s with .nsv endings since that is what the oddcast plugin seems to send by default when mp3 is

I created my first Xen VM that didn't use a static IP address. It grabs an IP from the 198.168.122.0 subnet (from I don't know where). I would rather want it to use my DHCP server. How can I achieve this? Kai -- Kai Sch?tzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

I found that lm_sensors got installed because of a dependency on my first Xen VM that I updated to 5.3. lm_sensors doesn't make sense in a VM. I thought, ok let's check after the update who wants it. However: rpm -q --whatrequires lm_sensors no package requires lm_sensors (same for --triggeredby with lm_sensors or the packages below) Trying to remove lm_sensors reveals these packages:

Is there a program on CentOS which will sort my passwd/group etc. files by username or uid/gid? On Suse I can do this with a sysconfig switch and Suseconfig, is there something similar on RH-based systems?

The installed php on CentOS/RHEL is the CGI version. This means I should be able to get command line arguments with $GLOBALS[''argv''] or $_SERVER[''argv'']. That''s how the php documentation tells and how it works f.i. on Suse. However, on CentOS I get them only when I use the -n switch to php (no php.ini). The problem with -n is that php cannot find

I have a local mirror of CentOS5 base and updates. Now with 5 having become 5.1 and in case I just want to keep on updating (at the moment) is it enough that I update the mirror of updates or do I also need an update of the base repo?

All of a sudden yum hangs on a Centos 4.5 (updated to the latest patch before 4.6) when I try to use it. "clean metadata" didn't help. The output of -d5 shows it gets to the point of "Reading Local RPMDB" and then sits there. The process doesn't die, but doesn't seem to do anything from that point on. strace shows this: futex(0xb76dcae8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL I

The new virtual machine manager in Centos 5.1 displays some weird behavior here and I assume it's because the UUID of one running VM is the same as of a VM that is shut down. I used the same config file template for creating all my test VMs, so several have the same UUID. Didn't produce any problems with xm. But the new VM manager in Gnome shows active and inactive VMs and identifies

I took over a custom firewall script from my older Suse machines to my Dom-Us and it works just fine. Doing the same for Dom-0 immediately killed all traffic for the VMs. As there was no need before I had been dropping everything on the FORWARD chain. After ACCEPTing all for FORWARD my VMs are happy again. What's best practice on Dom-0, what do you do? Can I restrict the forwarding, in

Hi Guys, OK, I figured out the problem, It would seem that Comcast spelling my DNS entry wrong would do it! I have done this a zillion times, I was totally stumped as to what I would be missing this time.

make sure that your mountpoint does not have a .ogg extention with the mp3 stream, otherwise, it will try to play using the ogg plugin, and will stay at 0% buffer On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 19:45:09 +0100, Kai Schaetzl <maillists@conactive.com> wrote: > I'm new to streaming or music hearing over the wire, I still prefer my > old-fashioned stereo equipment :-) > But a friend asked me

really, it should have no extention, like /stream/1001 for the mountpoint On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 20:51:29 +0100, Kai Schaetzl <maillists@conactive.com> wrote: > Darrell Dominey wrote on Thu, 10 Mar 2005 15:31:04 -0330: > > > make sure that your mountpoint does not have a .ogg extention with the > > mp3 stream, otherwise, it will try to play using the ogg plugin, and >

I'm new to streaming or music hearing over the wire, I still prefer my old-fashioned stereo equipment :-) But a friend asked me to setup a shoutcast server for him, so I went out and installed it, played a bit with it and didn't like it. So I looked for an open source alternative and found Icecast. Installed fine, works fine. But there is one thing which puzzles me and I hope someone

My update to 5.2 fails on one machine because of this error: Transaction Check Error: file /etc/init.d from install of chkconfig-1.3.30.1-2 conflicts with file from package AcronisAgentLinux-9.5.8076-1 file /etc/init.d from install of chkconfig-1.3.30.1-2 conflicts with file from package TrueImageAgent-9.5.8076-1 Obviously, both packages created (completely unnecessarily) the /etc/init.d

Using CentOS 5.1 with Xen 3.2. I'm trying to install a fully virtualized system for the first time and doing this with an old Suse 9.0 (this probably would run paravirtualized, maybe it won't run, anyway, because of hardware problems). I start with virt-manager and after choosing "fully virtualized" it presents me two options for install media: iso image and CD-ROM or DVD,
