similar to: CentOS 6.5 VirtualBox

Hello listmates, I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS 6 server. VNC/RDP access to the VM's would be fine. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.

My objective is also to run headless virtual machines through libvirt library. I am using an Ubuntu 10.04 distro and libvirt 0.9.2. Before asking you guys about it, I searched on the web and found this: Hi, > > thanks for your hint. > > I read the lines in the documentation, but unfortunately editing the xml > > within virsh lead to the errors. > > The Solution to a

If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI way" on a CentOS 7 system, what am I supposed to do? If I open the file in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think) opens, but it just displays the message Sorry, something went wrong I mean, really? Isn't this

Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would be. When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency, etc. -- Seth.

Following some update or the other (I think) on my CentOS Stream 8 system, I'm no longer able to use ping as a regular user; I get $ ping www.centos.org ping: socket: Operation not permitted Does anyone else see this? It it a bug, or were the system/default permissions deliberately changed? Can anyone suggest a fix/workaround? Actually, I can find several different ones via a simple web

I'm using CentOS 7 for development of software that is sometimes used on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. I conjunction with an update of one of the applications, I asked some Red Hat users to install the Qt 4 Assistant application via the qt-assistant package (which is used by a "help" function in our software.) It seemed like there was no such package in the Red Hat package set,

Hi, Is anyone here using smb:// URLs to access "Windows" shares? I've been doing this for a while with common file systems at work, and it used to work just fine. Then I while back, I started getting issues; I will now just keep getting asked for a password when I try to access something through smb://. I thought at first that this meant there had been some kind of change

The continuing challenges of getting a workable server continue. The latest spins of VirtualBox seem to have solved the issues of DKMS auto compiles of the driver being aborted. The yum updates work as expected, provided one stops the running vms manually first. However, trying to get systemd to start the vms is proving to be a PITA. I have extensively googled and found that there are no

Hi, I'm trying to use smb:// URLs with gvfs-mount and/or similar desktop functionality to access SMB shares on different servers that support different protocol versions and features. With some of the servers, mount will fail with a default configuration, but I have been able to make it work by editing some of the "client" options in /etc/samba/smb.conf. The problem is, those

Does anyone else run Microsoft Teams on CentOS 7? I've used it for a while now, and it's generally worked reasonably well. However, after upgrading to the latest version from the Microsoft repos, it doesn't start up properly. Processes start and remain active until I give up and kill them, but I can't see a window or a tray icon or anything. Has anyone else seen this? Is there

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 on a couple of servers of type IBM System x3550 M3, but it's not going too well. Actually, the install setup phase runs as expected, and the actual installation also appears to be successful, but the system will not boot - I just get a message (presumably) from BIOS saying that boot from hard disk 0. If I start the installer again after this, or boot

Hi. Is anyone here running CentOS 6 with dual monitors configured as a single X Screen? I'm trying such a setup on version 5 (again), using NVIDIA TwinView, and it works in many ways, but there are a number of problems that means it's not too usable - the most important one being that there appears to be no way to control which of the displays new applications/windows will appear

Hi Just thought I might ask my recent question about Eclipse again, only in a slightly different way: Is anyone here using the Eclipse version supplied with the CentOS 6 distro (as opposed to a build downloaded from www.eclipse.org)? Does it work for you? Are you able to install additional components via the built-in software setup mechanism? Thanks, - Toralf This e-mail, including any

Hi, Is there any way to customise the top panel in CentOS 7 with GNOME 3 (which I recently tried for the first time)? Specifically, I want to add "application launchers", as it will make start-up faster than the standard alternatives. (Because you can move the mouse directly to the right place - you don't have to carry out another action, wait for icons or menu items to pop up,

Awesome! Thanks for your replies everybody. I was looking more or less at the same options. Just was wondering if there was a ready-made set of scripts somewhere to set all of this in motion to save me a little time - but if not, I will just make one. Cheers, Boris.
